Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Dr. William D. Frost, bacteriolo
gist at the University of Wis
consin, has developed a vaccine
which may prove a means of con
' trolling tuberculosis.
If you are threatened with tuber
culosis, or If someone near and dear
to you la, that la vastly bigger sews
to you than what Is going to bap
pen to reparations and the war
debts.
rwlll Interest you, or at least It
should, to know that Dr. Frost
has devoted 39 years of Intensive
research to the discovery of his vac
cine. ' Things that are really worth while,
you see, require hard work for their
accomplishment.
One of the worst mistakes you
f can take, U you are young, la to ac
quire the idea that success Is WON
EASILY.
SMITH Reynolds! heir to ttie Camel
cigarette millions, born nine
years after Dr. Frost began hla tuber
culosis vaccine research, dies mys
teriously just how, no one knows
a yet, but It seems reasonably cer
tain that a scandal la connected
with hla death In some manner.
Poor kid! He had too much
money and too little sense.
' That combination la always a cal
amity. WOOD, we read! Is alighted in the
specifications for the new poet
office at Portland, the architects In
flating on steel in a variety of places
where wood would have been both
Cheaper and better.
Without trying to excuse the arch
itects, It Is probable that they didn't
ven know of the superiority of wood
for these uses.
Lumbermen were amazed a few
years ago to learn that the big arch
itecture and engineering schools
were teaching their students all
about the qualities of steel and other
substitutes for wood, but NOTHING
AT ALL about the qualities of wood.
WITH all the ' young architects
and all the young engineers
coming out of Vie colleges knowing
all about wood substitutes and know
ing nothing at all about wood, It is
little wonder that wood has suffered
as a building material.
THE lumber Industry is In a bad
way. We all know all about
that, for we live In a country where
lumber la the big payroll Industry.
But It Is a little surprising to
learn that the lumber Industry, as
a whole, la running at a higher per
centage of capacity than the steel
Industry,
It doesn't do us any particular
good, of course, but sometimes it Is
comforting to know that the other
fellow la just aa bad off as we are,
and perhaps a little worse.
IN the big boom 'years that began
wits the war and lasted for 11
years after the war ended, steel and
other substitutes for wood prospered.
They cost more, but who cared?
Money waa plentiful, and people
were In the mood to get what they
thought waa the best, regardless of
cost.
In the more sensible years that
are coming, when a dollar will be
worth a dollar and will be harder
to get than in the big boom years.
wood, which Is the best and most
economical building material for
very large variety of purposes, ought
to come back into its own.
VVAR Krueger, the Swedish match
king who recently committed sui
cide, stole fifty million dollars in
. bonds of the International Match
company while he waa Its president.
That's the kind of business lead
ership In high places that has lost
for big business the confidence of
the public.
That kind of 'business leadership,
by the way, Is the product of get-rlch-qulck
times such as the big
boom years that ended with the
crash of 1039.

AND RELIEF BILLS
ERE ADJOURNING
President Hoover Expected
To Sign Both Measures
In Few Days Last Hours
Full Of Fun. Oratory.
WASHINGTON. July 17. (AP),
The 72nd congress adjourned Its long
session at 11:25 o'clock tonight, rack
ed to the last with dispute such as
has embroiled It for many of the
months since December, but able to
say that at the end of It had set
tled Its differences over the long
pending relief and .home loan bank
legislation.
The agreement on the $2,122,000,-
000 relief bill came through the sen
ate's yielding to the house on the
controversial clause for publicity on
reconstruction corporation loans.
Accept Glass Rider
Conversely the house gave way on
the home loan bill, accepting at last
the Glass rider which will make pos
sible nearly a billion dollar expan
sion of the currency.
President- Hoover Is expected to
sign both within the next few days.
In vie dragging finale caused by
the final day deadlocks on the two
points, the senate turned to prohi
bition, debating at length the Glass
resolution to submit a substitute for
the 18th amendment.
The talk for hours held up adop
tion of the resolution of adjournment,
both houses having been In session
since the forenoon.
Equalization Fee Falls.
An effort to attach the McNary-
Haugen equalization fee plan to the
house bill carrying funds for the
home loan banking board failed as
senators refused to consider it. Of
fered by Howell (R., Neb.) It would
have applied the equalization fee
plan only to wheat as an experi
ment. The last hours of the senate ses
sion were filled with a mixture of
humor, oratory, and bitterness.
The crowded galleries were fre
quently warned by Vice President
Curtis to maintain order as the pro
hibition debate waxed humorous.
Twice during the evening Curtis
warned senators to observe the rules
of parliamentary procedure, once
when Senator Couzens ,R., Mich.)
was making a bitter attack on Sen
ator Watson, Republican leader.
Couzens said he hoped Watson
would be defeated in November.
The Michigan senator's speech was
on the decision to grant funds for
operation of the home loan bank sys
tem, It finally being voted to allow
$250,000 for that purpose. .
75 HEAT VICTIMS
T
SPELL OF SEASON
By The Associated Press
Summer's first sweltering blast re
tarded over most of the nation Sat
urday, leaving a foil of perhaps 75
dead and considerable crop damage
and also a threat to return soon
with even higher temperatures.
Several sections, notably the south
west, suffered under uncomfortable
heat, but the 95 to 100 degree tem
peratures of Friday ere lacking in
most places, except In the western
plains states where 100 plus readings
were common. Elsewhere from coast
to coast, most of the nation had en
durable, and In many sections en
joyable, week-end weather.
A prediction of new and perhaps
more Intense heat within the next
few days was made, however, by C. A.
Donnel, government weather fore
caster In Chicago.
The toll of dead In Chicago from
the 97 degree heat Friday reached
16 with two additional deaths from
prostration.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 16 (AP)
Hope that President Hoover "may de
clare himself afresh" in favor of pro
hibition was expressed by the na
tional northern Baptist convention
here today as the delegates pledged
themselves to wage unceasing battle
in behalf of the eighteenth amend
ment and the Volstead act.
The expression of hope concerning
the president's attitude was added by
the convention, by unanimous vote,
to a resolution which called for un
swerving support of the present dry
laws.

FOR PEAR STUDIES
At the annual meeting of the Ore
gon-Washington Pear Bureau trust-
, held at the Multnomah hotel ;n
Portland July 15, action was taken
which It Is believed will result in the
return of Professor Hartman this sea
son, to a continuation of his pear
studies begun over three years ago,
through the cooperation of the Med
ford Winter Pear committee and the
Oregon State college.
David Rosenberg, president of the
bureau, expressed great satisfaction
that Professor Hart man's services
would again be available to the pear
Industry of Oregon and Washington
and with the full cooperation and
facilities of the college.
Professor Hartman'a work has been
of Incalculable value to the fruit
growers of this section. It is diffi
cult to estimate the value of his work
In the eastern markets and In Med
ford. His efforts have been largely
responsible for placing local fruit be
fore the consumers In prime condi
tion. It is now possible to obtain
pears of excellent quality at nearly
every fruit stand In New York City
during nine months of the year.
One of the principal fee tors has
been the education of the buyers and
retailers in the proper handling of
the product. Growera are entirely fa
miliar with Hartman'a work on condl
tlonlng Bosc pears and his exhaustive
packing and transportation tests car
ried forward in his winter pear com
mittee work, together with his assist
ance in the advertising program car
ried forward on Bosc pears by D. R.
Wood's committee.
It is expected that within a few
days definite announcement will come
from the Oregon State college as to
the exact nature of the study which
will be followed this year. Nells pears
and pinhole decay will be one of the
major points undertaken and a fur
ther study of the proper marketing
season for different varieties will be
continued. It Is thought that Profes
sor Hartman may be In Medford to
Initiate his plans In the very near
rut ii re.
David Rosenberg was re-elected
president of the organisation for the
next year. Other officers were also
asked to continue their services. The
trustees were well pleased with the
Initial year's efforts on advertising
and made arrangements to continue
the work through Wm. Horsley, ex
ecutive secretary of the organization.
A uniform contract was adopted for
the next year and It was noted that
financial condition of the bureau was
excellent Not only has work been
done In billboard advertising and
through the newspapers but also pears
have been Introduced to restaurants
and hotels through trade Journa'a
and direct service. The bureau will

, nounoement of interesting research
carried forward along line.

DEFY POLICE BY
Disorder Averted By Swift
Concessions From Au
thoritiesLeader Arrest
ed And Later Released.
WASHINGTON , July 16. (AP)
After a brief tussle, police tonight
cleared the sidewalk In front of the
White House of a hundred or more
veterans of the bonus-seeking squad
rons who had attempted to set up
picketing there.
WASHINGTON. July 16. (AP)
The army of vcrterans clamoring for
the payment of the Donus rushed the
capltol today in open defiance of po
lice orders, and disoroer was averted
only by swift concessions from the
authorities.
Concentrating on the great build
ing from all parts of the city the
ragged army waa ordered by police to
stay on the far side of the plaza from
the building, but led by their com
mander, W. W. Waters, they broke
through a thin police line and
rushed toward the capltol.
Waters was arrested by Brigadier
General Pelham D. Glassford, super
intendent of Washington police, who
took personal charge of the situa
tion. "I told the vice-president I'd keep
the plaza clear. When I say I'll do
a thing, I'll do it," Glassford shouted.
"We want Waters," the army ans
wered. "I don't want any trouble, but we
will have It if you do not get back."
Long drawn out boos greeted him.
"I have Waters under arrest and
as soon aa you go back I'll release
him" Glassford declaimed, using his
hands for a megaphone.
The men did not go back. Waters
was brought and his efforts to get
them to withdraw were of no avail.
Glassford and Waters then met In
the capltol basement, left by a side
door and went to the back of the
crowd. Then?, after an argument,
the bonus army commander was re
leased and went to the bandstand to
speak.

FOR FEDERAL AID
Prospects are good. In the opinion
of bounty Judge C. B. Lamkin, that
the Irrigation districts of Jackson
county will secure financial aid un
der provisions of the relief bill pass
ed by congress Saturday and now on
the president's desk for approval.
According to the county Judge,
federal funds thus secured could be
used for the re-bondlng of the Med
ford and Talent districts and for
needed improvements and repalra In
the ditch systems of the two projects.
Thus the two districts would be able
to lessen the burden of the bond in
debtedness and make other changes
that would improve the situation.
Judge Lamkin estimates that $3,000,
000 would cover the needs.
"I believe," said Judge Lamkin,
that adjustment of the needs of the
Irrigation districts should come first,
and that It would benefit more peo
ple than other projects. Placing the
irrigation districts on a sound basis
would perk up business, the farmers
and conditions In general."
County Judge Lamkin said that for
five years, efforts had been made to
secure federal aid for the irrigation
districts, and that the Oregon sena
tors and congressmen and California
representatives had altlven for this
end during that period. He further
stated that the irrigation district di
rectors, and Manager Olen Arnsplger
had been In close touch with the
situation for months.
I don't oppose the coast railroad
project," said Judge Lamkin. "1 have
been for it for 13 years ever since
it was first mentioned. It would be
a good thing. But I feel It Is second
ary In Importance to the rehablllta
tlon of Irrigation district affairs
which will cost leas, benefit Ml lines
and not take as much time. Irriga
tion aid will take a lot of the strain
off everybody and in a hurry."
Olen Arnsplger, manager of the
two districts, attended a meeting in
eastern Oregon Friday and Saturday,
when reclamation and Irrigation prob
lems of Oregon were discussed and
plans for the future made.

'I like successful people to stay
successful. I don't like to see any
one turn up her toes and suffer"
the remark fitted perfectly the tones
of Lloyd Osbourne'a English voice,
spiced with French exuberance, as
the author of much renown answered
the barrage of questions from
porters, upon his arrival In Medford
yesterday noon.
Coming with ,hls sister, Mrs. Sals-
bury Fleldt whose husband wrote
'Wedding Bells," from the south, and
before that from the south of France,
for a short holiday at the 0. N.
Black river lodge, the author of
"Love the Fiddler' and many an
other book, was In the best of spirits.
His stand on the success question
was taken when his thirst for news
brought mention of a new book
aimed to dethrone the great evange
list, Almoe McPhcrson, and he didn't
hesitate to aay he didn't like the
Idea.
Following hla short stay here he
will return to San Francisco and to
the Bohemian Jinks at Bohemian
Grove, "for which,"" he declared,
"people are arriving from all parts of
the world."
"I came over to see what was hap
pening," he continued, hla hands In
smart gray gloves stroking the extra
luggage stscked about him. "I want
ed to see If California waa still on the
map, Tou see I'm a native of San
Francisco. And now please tell me
who killed Smith Reynolds?"
"I love Oregon. I had never seen
her before, and I'm In love with her
already. You see I have come to
Judge a country by the absence of
motor cars.
"Writing a book? No, no. I have
no Ideas left. I've come here to get
some" and with that, a friendly
handshake and repetition of his very
pleasing smile, the man who colla
borated with his step-father, Robert
Louis Stevenson in the writing of
"The Wrong Box," "The Wrecker"
and "Ebb Tide," and wlt.h hla nephew,
Austin Strong In "The Exile' and
"The Little Father of the Wilder
ness," stepped Into Mrs. Black's wait
ing car and was off to the river.
"Who's Who" says among other
things of htm, he was born April
17, 1668 In San Francisco to Samuel
and Fanny Van de Orlft, who later
married Robert Louis Stevenson, with
whom he worked on many books. He
was vice consul general at Samoa for
several years and educated at Edln-
buigh.
"Following the Bohemian Jinks,"
he said of .himself yesterday noon,
"I'm sailing again for France."
