MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, MAY 1, 1934. LIGHTING EXPERT VICTIMS IN BATTLE WITH GUNMEN HOLEPROOF MMMnntMMIIIMItiHItm INTERESTING TALK HOSIERY PXGE TEN Members of the Klwanls club en Joyed n Interesting and Instructive talk on the relation of better light and bettor light as appplled to com meroiftl, offioe and horn lighting at their weekly luncheon yesterday noon. The talk "was presented by Walter B. Potter of Portland, Ulumlatlon engi neer for the General Electric Co., who la a past lieutenant governor of the northwest district ox Klwanla International. Mr. Potter covered his subject In a most comprehensive manner and ex hibited a series of charts which re vealed the prevalence of defective vi sion. Some of the startling facts brought out In these charts Included the statements that under age 30, 38 per cent have defective vision; under 40, over 60 per cent, and over the age of 00, 05 per cent. "Twenty-five per cent of human energy is used In the process of see ing," stated the speaker, who went on to say that the average office and store under average Illumination con ditions consume more nervous, phy sical and muscular energy In one hour than the average manual la borer consumes In eight hours work ing In daylight. Another Interesting fact given by Mr. Potter was that over 80 per cent of human actions and reaction are controlled by the relation of sight, which la the most Important of the five senses. In closing, the speaker gave a novel lighting demonstration, using a shadow box In which various lighting Intensities were shown to reveal the values of proper window and store lighting. . The effects of correct and Incor rect lighting methods were demon strated as well as the effects of va rious colored lights on fabrics and other types of merchandise to bring out the manner in which proper Il lumination enhances the attractlve neess and sales-appeal of modern dis plays. Dr. Standard made a report on the recent meeting of the Inter-club Re lations committee and submitted a list of recommendations made by the I group Including the entterlng of floats In the Jubilee parade. It was voted that the Klwanls club sponsor a float In the parade and a eommitte ewse appointed to take charge of the details. Visiting Klwanlana at the session were Frank Keene, Chicago represen tative of Klwanls International; Past Lieut, Gov. w. E, Potter of Fort land, and Tom Delzell of Klamath Palls.

Mahonoy, Klamath Falls mayor and Democratlo candi date for governor, condemnod the . power companies, watered stock, and claimed that the holding companies in the east are robbing the people Jn the west by their exorbitant power rates. He also attacked the sales tax, and aald he waa "opposed to any tax com ing from the laboring man and farm er's purse." Mahoney expressed op position to the Knox bill, claiming that he didn't believe the state should enter Into the liquor bulsness. : He also told the group he favored an old-age pension and seeks changes In the homestead law.

The people of Medford owning dogs and there are no better people and none to be more congratulated are reminded for the last time that the minimum dog tax la now due and payable at the county clerk's office. The tax now is only 91.00 for grown males and 91-60 for females, the low est, thanks to the efforts of the Hu mane society on behalf of dog owners, for many years. Unless paid shortly this tax will be double, plus assessment, and it is only good business to protect your dog and enjoy his companionship and prove yourself good citizen to pay this minimum fee now and be through with the matter the entire year. Tou enjoy the companionship, loy alty and protection of your dog for only one-third the coat of an angler's license, the cost of only three or four movie shows, or a coat in general far less than any other satisfaction avail able. People who own dogs are normally people of good heart and people worth having as friends. As such, they may usually be depended upon to save their dogs from the pound, for they appreciate that no one ever had truer friend than his own faithful dog. t Wall St. Report Communications BOND SALE AVERAGES (Copyright, 1934, Standard Statistics Company.)

To the Editor: I certainly was surprised to learn that someone saw me hotfooting It after those big spiders for the Pioneer Parade. However, that little Incident seemed to cause some real concern, but they haven't seen anything yet. For instance, two or my lieutenants, a oouple of BB's (big ammunition) from last years campaign, accom panied by the generalissimo of the Oregon forces Just returned from trip into northern California,, and .they tell mo that they met Paul Bun- yan rehearsing his entry for our Pio neer Parade. They seemed to think that training 500 oxen was a big Job, but Paul as sured them that it was nothing at all. and promised them a real treat when tho populace sees his big two-whoel cart for the first time. To bring this cart Into Medford seemed to require all of the best talents of our dele gations, but with the assurance that they would have Jack Thompson re. move all wires from Its path, so that tho high wheela could get through our streets, Paul finally agreed to our proposition. But he was sorry he couldn't bring his biggest tree along with It. Of course, he realized It would be ask. Ing too much to have' Pop Gates re move his building so he could make tho turn from Riverside to Sixth street. However, when Pop was con tacted today, he made this remark, "Nothing doing, not on your life. I am right In the midst or my clean-up and palnt-up campaign, so you see It would bo out of the question." Will drop you a line later and keep you 'informed. J. VERNE SMANOLB. Medford, May 1.
