The Weather Forecast: Showers and cooler to night; cloudy Friday. Temperature Highest yesterday 72 lnet tht morning no Tribune JML Comment on the Dry's News By FRANK JENKINS JAMES MATTERN, Texas aviator, flying alone around the world tcr at least hoping to reaches Mos cow 60 hours and 59 minutes after leaving New York. That li five hours and five minutes faster than the time made by Wiley Post and Harold Oatty In 1931. " Progress, you see, still continues. MATTERN was out of touch with the world for several hours, and much concern was felt as to his fate. No great world development hinges upon his success or failure, hut a human life was In the balance. Some times we are more Interested In fcu man lives than In great world de velopment. " Let us hope we never become oth erwise. Human sympathy la a mighty fine thing. It makes this a better world to live In. 1IHILE James Mattern Is flying W around the world, Mrs. Frank lin D. Roosevelt, wife of the Presi dent ot the United States. Is flying from Washington to Los Angeles to visit her son. Mattern Is performing a "stunt." Mrs. Roosevelt Is doing what has be come a more or less simple, every-day ithlng. . Her progress Is followed from point to point along- the route by ever- watchful newspapers, but that is be cause she is the wife of the Presi dent of the United States and not because she is flying across the United States. BUT don't forget that before the wife of the President of the United States could consider flying from Washington to Los Angeles to visit her son somebody had to fly . from coast to coast as a "stunt." Maybe, the. tlm will come when people will fly around the world with as little concern as they now fly from coast to coast. It seems improbable at the present moment, but a lot of Wings have come to pass that once seemed not only Improbable but Impossible. AND don't forgetthat if people DO fly around the world with as little concern as they now fly from coast to coast It will be because somebody had the nerve to risk his life to prove that It could be done. So don't be too cynical about these "stunts." They lead the wsy to what we shall later refer to as tre mendous progress. ILLINOIS votes on 'repeal of prohibi tion, and early returns show the vote rvnnlrig at the rate of about 14 to one in favor of repeal. That isn't surprising, as the early returns come chiefly from Chicago, and Chicago Is one of the wettest cities in the country. Later returns ' from the country districts will cut down this percentage of lead. Still. It is to be expected that Illi nois will go heavily for repeal. 18 AN indication of sentiment, or r at least sentiment In areas where there is somi doubt, Indiana, which votes the day after Illinois, will be ' more Interesting. Claims have teen made that Indiana might go against repeal. As to that, we a'lall see when the figures come in. But don't bet too heavily that Indiana will go dry. It has some fairly good-sized cities, and the big cities back there are distinctly wet. -. LUELLA PERAL HAMMER, Los An ge'es kidnaper, spends her even ings throwing kisses to the moon and stars.

(AP) President Roosevelt and house Demo cratic leaders neared an agreement today on the veterans' compensation dispute. A special committee of house Demo crats Interested In veterans' legisla tion put up a modified proposal to the president at a three-hour confer ence and he took It under considera tion.

Roosevelt and Mussolini are getting very close together under the surface of things. It will have to be denied for diplo matic reasons but it Is nevertheless true that some extremely confiden tial notes have recently been ex changed between them. Mr. Roosevelt Is supposed to have started the correspondence when he was afraid Hitler was going to fly off the disarmament handle. He sought Mussolini's cooperation in soothing the naughty Nazi. Mussolini agreed and showed Hitler the error In sword brandishing. That started what might almost be called an Internatlonil friendship. You will hear something about that later probably at the London eco nomic conference. The plain truth la that the United States and Italy have been growing closer together the past year. Musso lini was the only one to pay the December 16 debt Installment with out & aquawk. He waa the first to embrace the Hoover disarmament plan and probably the only one who was sincerely for it. He has the con fidence of Hitler and the fearful re spect of France. With Britain weak, he la the strongest force In Europe Just now. MacDonald could get nowhere with his disarmament plan, but Mussolini put across the Four Power pact. It removed the immediate prospect of war. The only reason the French agreed to It was because they were afraid to face O erm any wl th M ussol I nl on their flank. The underlying trouble with the coming London conference rests on one point exchange stabilization. European nations privately look on it as a purely Anglo-American prob lem. France and Italy are quite well satisfied with things as they are. There are two obscure fellows In our London delegation whe will have more to say about what we do thsn any of those you think are big shots. They are James Warburg and Wil liam C. Bullitt.

Fences, made by the local school children, as well as gates and wind mills, garden benches and other out door furnishings, also add beauty to the setting of the artistic floor plan, developed by Charles Voorhlea In the high r-chool gymnasium, where the show will continue through this eve ning. The wild flower exhibit, which in cludes more than 160 varieties, la the most complete showing of southern Oregon's native flowers ever present ed in Medford.

Incense cedars from the southern Oregon forest are also used In the gymnasium to accomplish the wanted green note and to blend their forest fragrance with the heavier odor of the blossoms. Of special Interest In the wild flow- er exhibit is a miniature rock garden made by Mrs. Ethel Wllletta of plants which grow at the summit of the Slsklyoua. In the children's department, where all displays were prepared by boys and girls under 12 years of age, ap pear miniature gardens, bouquets and nosegays of a delicacy of motif fit ting childhood and exceptionally pleasing to adults.

Another garden with pool and fur nishings Is covered with a natural growth of grass, which a little girl has been encouraging for some time preparatory to the show. Adding a riot of color to the south cast corner of the gymnasium a stand of flowers, very similar to those which add beauty to the streets of t.he city, has been prepared and en tered by Mrs. K. D. McCaskey. Further down the line the display of the local Japanese colony, larger than ever before, was attracting much attention today. It includes In addi tion to local plants and flowers ar ranged with the Japanese feeling, several specimens shipped from San Francisco for the garden show with two very fine Japanese prints as background.
