Amer RED SNOW PLANT IS EXPLAINED BY "Bloody rain," "red snow" and "fiery frost" are the names accorded a peculiar reddish-purple sort of alga, microscopic water plant which has been noticed in the Medford drinking water, according to rroies aor Edward M. Hussong of the Senior high school biology department. "Although the Jelly-like masses are visible In drinking water that stands for a. few days, it Is absolutely harm less," Mr.'Hussong stated. 'IThe plant life, commonly found in the Arctic region and on the glaciers of high mountains, has been seen in large areas on the snow fields of Norway, the Alpa and Himalaya mountains, and lately has been noticeable on the upper slopes of Mount Rainier. So far as I have heard, It has never been reported from a locality so far south and of such low altitude as we hsve here. "A few spores of thl alga are In our city water, borne down from the slopes of Mount Pitt, no doubt; and we have grown larger masses of It in our aquarium, which have been a pushing study for severat weeks. This Is the third time my attention has been called to It," says Mr. Hussong. The plant la known scientifically as Spharella nivalis, the "red snow plant" Anyone Interested in seeing the specimens of this plant may do so by visiting the high school bio logical laboratory. .

The vet eran traveler delighted a large assembly of Shrlnera with an Intensely Interesting description of hLs travels through -the South Sea. Java. Su matra. Ball and other Islands of the Dutch East Indies as well as Abys sinia and other African lands, pointing out the custom and modes of living of people who inhabit those far-away lands. "I would suggest travel for those In the"Unlted States who may have become discouraged through the re cent depression." the famous ex plorer said. "It has been my obser vation that the depression affected this country later than any qther. and America la recovering more rapidly than other lands. In fact, many things which we would consider bare necessities in depression periods here would be -welcomed as luxuries at all times in scores of foreign lands." Captain Salisbury sketched briefly the habits of cannibals and head hunters who populate the remote lsl lands of the South Pacific. His In teresting experiences in Java, Suma tra and Ball and contact with the Andaman pigmies were mentioned and, as a climax of the captain's ad dress, he told of his visit to the vast country of Abyssinia In Africa, where, through a misunderstanding on the part of Abyssinian couriers, he was welcomed as the President of the United States. Captain Salisbury's travel picture, "Ra-Mu," now playing at the Fox Craterlan, was mentioned by Harold Brown in hi Introduction of the lec turer. This picture, according to Captain Salisbury, ahuwa lift strange lands referred to in his address be fore the Shrine club today. Tonight the members of "HtlUh temple. Shrlnera aflllated with other temples, and their wives will enjoy a "pot-luck" dinner and dance at the Ashland Masonic temple. Ye Poet's Cornei 'THERE'S A RING AROUND THE VALLEY "MEDFORD" There's a ring around the valley, A ring of mountains blue. A place apart; but far and white The highway flashes through. Slopes with forests living green, Springs that break near rock and root; You follow these pine-scented ways The while they pass beyond your view Lost In the soft blue haae. These are friendly western skies, Where light clouds drift and change until The grey mists gather, fail In rain; Streams rush on, but pools remain Reflecting blue again. There's a city In the valley Which aurely will fulfill All that Its worthy people Are wishing for It still. No wonder that the meadow lark Makes this his home and spends But brief time on the wing From fence post or In vacant lot He waits, content to sing. Alfalfa fields and pasture lands, Orchards everywhere which add Rose tints to Its silvery greys, Bring blossoms Into fruit green leaves to red. To cheer the late full days. The res a ring around the valley, A ring of mountains blue, A place apart; but far and white The highway flashes through. Hazel Sloneker. E E PORTLAND, Ore., Aplrl 7. (AP) Market for eggs was so demoralized by undergrade offerings as well as uncandled stocks that some of the former more active buyers hare prac tically quit purchasing auppltes at country points. Lack of uniformity In the prices hase never been so generally shown as during the last couple of weeks, with retailers act ually offering supplies at prices that are lower than what the country was getting or expecting for eggs, there was an entire lack of profit In hand ling. This condition appears due mostly to 'the continuance of the big run of country or farm eggs which are Sbelng traded to retailers for goods and then reaolt to Portland whole salers or retailors below their actual worth because the cash Is needed.
