"Let ua not be deceived," he said,

The apealcer commented that when
the world war revealed that many

were not physically perfect, demanda
were made for health dlvieiona in tne
achoola. "Aa cannon fodder," he
said, "our young men must, ba phys

a, system whereby the exhibitor Is
required to contract for groups of
pictures, sight unseen.
The practice In "Child Welfare," A.
P. T. A. Magazine, of listing objec

FEDERAL REPORT
SALEM, May 35. (AP) Twenty-
five Oregon counties rate with the
beat In the least amount of Illiteracy!
It was revealed today by Char lee A.
Howard, superintendent of public In
struction, who received a United
States survey from the federal department.
The twenty-five counties all re
corded below one per cent illiteracy
when the national census was taken
In 1930. The data waa compiled by
the national advlsnry committee . on
literacy.
Bight of the remaining eleven
counties had an average of from one
to two per cent illiteracy. These were
Multnomah, Marlon, Columbia, Uma
tilla, Hood River. Wasco, Otlllam and
Harney. The other three, Klamath,
Jefferson and Sherman, rated the
lowest In the state, from 3 to 4.3 per
oent.
No counties In the state recorded
lower than the national average of
4.3 per oent. The rating of the state
aa compared with all other states was
not received, but Oregon appeared to
be among the leaders. Last week Or
egon rated fourth in high literacy
according to a census based on maga
zine reading. The new averages were
baaed solely upon illiteracy as ob
tained by census takers.

tract and that to continue the prac

have an adverse effect on fire insur
ance rates. In future the companies
will not pay such claims, waa the
decision made at the an mini meeting
a Del Monte laat week. Similar ac
tion will be taken May 94th when
the Ysstern Underwriters association

Members of the Medford Insurance

of such a los as requires recovering
of an overstuffed piece or reflnishtng

never been a loss as contemplated
by the underwriters in computing
their rates. The evil has greatly in

ment of Dr. R. E. Lee, chairman of
the group today. At a meeting of
the committee yesterday, the ques
tion of establishing a museum In
Medford was thoroughly discussed
and machinery has been set in mo
tion which it Is believed will bring
about the desired results In a short
time.

suggested and It is hoped that within
a day or so a place will be selected
in order that the immediate assem
bling of historic relics can be started.
Quite a number of persons wbo have
exhibits which could be used In such
a museum have promised cooperation
and the committee will do everything
possible In order to make Med ford's
museum as outstanding aa possible
gieat deal of attention to visitors
Museums In bigger cities attract a
and there can be no doubt but what
the tourists visiting Medford will be
very much Interested In seeing the
exhibits on display here.
It la also believed by the. commit
tee that a museum will also be very
helpful to the younger generation in
Medford as It will be the means of
teaching them something regarding
the historic background of southern
Oregon.
It la the purpose of the committee
to use every care In selecting exhibits
and the articles loaned will be pro
tected In every way possible.
Tne civic anaira committee has
one or two other projects In mind
which when consummated will not
