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. Other guests Included Judge
Karl pay and W. Billings of Ashland.
Two of tht four person! Injured In the northern Wisconsin battle
between DM linger gangster nd federal officer, were Carl Christen,
en, eonetable of Spider Lake, Wit., shown with hla nurae, Mary Liven,
doekl, and John Morrla (Inaet), a CCC camp officer. Chrletenaen waa
critically wounded. Morrla waa hurt when ahota war fired Into a ear

AT EAGLES' HALL
- Addressing a gathering of about
one hundred last night In the Eagles'
hall, Willis .E. 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. It
' Is his Idea to get a homestead law
through the legislature, making It
Impossible for anyone to lose his
homestead on a private debt.

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.

Spiders and Oxen.
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.
