MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTE. MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, MAY 20, 1934. PAGE FIVE) NEW YORK DAY BY DAY BY O.O.McIntyre LOS ANGELES, May 10. Thert are three atrociously named Brown Der by restaurants In Los Angeles. One down town, one In Beverly and still another in Holly wood. The orig inal Is stuccoed. In the shape and coloring from whence It ac quired Its absurd name. Imagine eating In a hat I Yet much of the celebrity life of this extraord inary celebrity conscious com munity centers around the brown derbies. We dined at the one eater cornered from our hotel Beverly Wllshlre last evening. Frou-frou wait resses, their russet dungaree skirts stiffly starched and flaring, do the serving. They are au courant to all famous In the brown-timbered room and drop bits of gossip between courses. Chaplin came In, sporting tweeds of sunset gold, squiring Miss Goddard. I might have known the fellow Stick ing out derisive tongue at me across the room was Mickey Nlelan. One heard that our table, no less, was where Rudy Vallee In his love ' lorn anguish crooned his miserere to a aympathetlo waitress. She now has become a celebrity. Our dinner was pleasant because our party Included Ed and Grace Nolan, the Harry Beau monts, Harry and Sunny Brooks, be loved friends of many years. On a bench at the corner of a lead ing boulevard, day after day, site one of the richest American Indians. Across the street is his magnificent colonial home. He la very old and his f mind clouded. Oil wells In his back yard transplanted him from his tepee to a grandeur he Is too Infirm to ap preciate. Bo with thumb jerks he di rects the flow of motor traffic ma jestic with primitive disdain. Los Angeles owes much, of its mart look to Fate's witch bundle the movie Industry. As much as New York and more today than Paris It's the style center. Studios have com mandeered the best of designers. No American city Is more clothes con scious. The monocle la as at home here as along London's Birdcage Walk. The University club gave a din ner Wednesday night at the club house In honor of Root. W. Ruhl, editor of the Mall Tribune, which was recently awarded the Pulltaer prlae for 1983. President Earl Tumy presided and Introduced the speak ers, who were: B. A. Reames. John D. Goss and E. G. Burgess. Mr. Reames gave the principal address, which was an expression of the great benefit the winning of this award will be to Medford and southern Oregon, to which Mr. Ruhl briefly responded. The following resolution was passed by the club members, expressing further apprecatton of the honor, conferred upon southern Oregon: "Resolved: That Rogue River Val ley University club extends to the people of Oregon, and more partic ularly of the Rogue River valley, congratulations upon the announce ment by the Columbia university trustees of the award to Medford Mall Tribune, and to Robert W. Ruhl, Its editor, of the Pulitzer price for the most disinterested and meri torious public service rendered by an American newspaper during the year less, and gratefully acknowledges the honor thereby conferred upon its most distinguished member. "That this resolution be extended in the minutes of the club, and copy thereof given to the press." Following the dinner an amusing gridiron skit was put on by H. van Hoevenberg and Martin Luther, while Earl Tumy and William Vawter sang typical song concerning the guest of honor, to the tune of the "Flying Trapeze There were about 30 guests pres ent. Including members of the club and the following Invited meats: Major Clare H. Armstrong, district commander of the CCO: John D. Goss, democratic candidate for con gress from Marshfleld; J. A. Ormandy, southern Pacific general passenger agent of Portland: Arthur Perry, Smudge Pot columnist; Charles Voor htes, W. S. Bolger, W. M. McAllister, David Rosenberg, E. G. Burgess, Gain Robinson and Ralph Bardwell. Our rooms are a radiant burst of flowers. Blue and yellow iris from Genevieve Tobln, white roses from Ted Healy, yellow roses from Adolphe Menjou, larkspur from Doris Kenyon, aweet peas from TuHlo Carmanatl, lilacs from Nate Mil nor, plants from Winnie Sheehan'a garden, gladiolus and double poppy from Joan Ben nett, tulips from Florence Ryerson and Colins Clement, pansles from of all people Tom Mix. Carnations, camellias, gardenias. They come on every delivery. Such hospitality has no significance. It Is as casual as the sunshine, a symbol of California cheerio. In the 18 -karat residential areas walking Is almost lost art. The streets are filled with traffic, but sidewalks bare of pedestrians. We ticked off 41 blocks where not a soul was seen on the pavements. This Is one of those gray, lustre less days of high fog. The sun can not crack through. Los Angeles Is In an attitude of abject apology, as though sensing an affront to the stranger. Death's head at the per ennial feast. It will not be the same until the thin mist sifts and Old Sol Is on the Job again. GREEN LEAVES TO I REQUEST LISTING FOR S, Jacksonville's Jubilee committee on housing and camps .has requested everyone In Jacksonville having rooms or camp grounds to rent dur ing jubilee week, to kindly list them with Jacksonville service station or at the Jubilee headquarters in Med ford, Immediately. Those having rooms are requested to give their name, address, tele- phone number and whether the Gordon Green, Oregon manager for the American Fruit Growers, Inc., left last week on an extensive trip, covering all principal markets In the United States and on the Canadian border. Mr. Green said his trip was not only for the purpose of renewing acquaintances among the company's offices, scattered over the nation, but also to follow up Important work started by his Medford office dur ing the past two years in getting Medford's "grand old bosc pear" started again in a great many of the secondary markets, over the country. The Bosc pear. In the opinion of Mr. Green, is well on lte way to ward staging a comeback to the once high place this variety held In the pear markets and as Medford, In time, will have so many bosc pears. Mr. Green states that he and his organization Is determined to do all they can toward hastening return of the bosc to Its former popularity. MILK LlISlE CHECKED By OF CONTOL AGENT John S. Billings, field representa tlve for the southern Oregon district of the Oregon Milk control board, was a visitor In Medford Saturday, check ing the licenses of all persons and firms handling milk. Persons wishing to make applications were also get' ting in touch with Mr. Billings. At the meeting held here on Wed nesday evening at the chamber of commerce, the twenty milk dealers in attendance voted that an advisor; committee be set up In the district. W. J, Warner was named to represent the producer-distributors, Ted Ge- Bauer, the distributors; and C. F. Rhodes, the milk depots. Those present conferred with Mr, Billings on matters relating to the milk control bill, which requires all dealers to have a license. He pointed out to the group that monthly licenses must be paid by the fifth, of each month, and also that the bill makes It unlawful to violate the fixed prices by discount, rebate, free service, advertising allowance, gift or otherwise. Meetings of the group will be held every two weeks to discuss the prob lems of the milk dealers. The next gathering la scheduled for May 29 at the chamber of commerce here. Similar meetings are being conduct ed in Ashland by the milk dealers In the southern part of the county, Mr. Billings said. MEMORIAL POPPY HELPS DISABLED Memorial popples which the women, of the American Legion auxiliary will distribute here on May 23 have been a means of providing employment to hundreds of disabled World War veterans through the win ter and spring months, according to Mrs. Belva Aiken, poppy choirman of thel ocal auxiliary unit. The little red flowers have made possible earn ings of approximately 1)100.000 for these disabled men, she stated. "Making of the paper popples which the American Legion auxiliary offers on 'Poppy day' to be worn In honor of the World War dead Is reserved strictly for the war disabled," Mrs. I Aiken explained. "It oilers a means of employment to veterans unable to i do other work and not only brings them money for the support of themselves and families, but aids In their rehabilitation by giving them beneficial, interesting work. "The popples are made in govern ment hospitals and In special poppy work-rooms maintained by the auxil iary. This year 58 different poppy making centers have been In opera tion in 40 states. Employment la re stricted to men unable to do work of other type, and preference Is given those with families to support. The paper poppy Is used exclusively by the auxiliary because Its making is a hand rather than maohine pro cess. "The money contributed for the popples pays the wages of the poppy makers and helps support the legion and auxiliary's activities for the wel fare of the disabled veterans and de pendent families." Leaves for Honolulu Robert Law of the United States army, who has been a guest of relatives here for tlio past several days while on furlough, left yesterday noon for San Francisco to sail May 26 for Honolulu, where he will be stationed. i ' 1 1 Valedictorian, Salutatorian ) ft -ivd M s f T gp :1 f m . 1 Sabrlna Thatcher Having maintained superior records, throughout their four years of high school, Sabrlna Thatcher and Arietta Tyrell have been chosen as valedic torian and salutatorian of the 1934 Medford high school graduating class.

The First National Bank "A DEPARTMENT1ZED BANK" THERE'S no guessing about the superiority of V-type engines. They hold every major record on land, on water and in the air. For years they have been used for the finest motor cars in this country. We designed a V-type engine for the Ford because' it has certain basic, fundamental advantages that cannot be duplicated in any other type. It costs more to build a V-type engine a great deal more. But we absorb that cost for the sake of getting better performance on the road. Here are just a few of the advantages of Ford V-8 design t MORE EFFICIENT DESIGN The Ford V-8 engine is more efficient because the eight cylinders are divided into two short banks of four each and placed oppoiite each other In a compact V-shapa design instead of being strung out in a long straight tin. ONE-PIECE CASTING of cylinder blocks, crankcasa and exhaust passages. An exclusive, Ford V-8 engine feature that means better performance and economy. Keeps operating parts in permanent alignment by providing exceptional rigidity for entire engine. Also increases smoothness, gives longer life to bear ings and all moving part. SHORTER CRANKSHAFT Compact V type design of Ford angina permits use of shorter, mora rigid crankshaft. This reduces vibration. BETTER FUEL DISTRIBUTION Shorter and mora direct fuel passages to cylinders Increase engine efficiency. SIMPLER COOLING SYSTEM Ford V-8 design brings all cylinders close together and results, in simpler cooling system within the engine. The Ford V-8 has two water pumps. MORB EFFICIENT LUBRICATION Oil lines are shorter in the Ford because of V-8 design. Less diitance for sil to travel. Mora efficient lubrication. ' GREATER SMOOTHNESS became of Inher ently correct engine balance resulting from 90 V-8 design with 90 spacing of crank throws on fully counterbalanced crankshaft. Precision weighing of pistons and connecting rods assures accurate running balance. INCREASED BODY ROOM Ford V-8 en gine takes up feat space in hood because of shorter, more compact design. That permits more of car's length to be used for the pas sengers. It Is one reason why the Ford V-8 has more inferior room than any other low frlct tar. PROVED PERFORMANCE V-type enginee hold every major record on land, on water and in the air. (Seaplane.) In every teat, they show their superior efficiency and performance. Those are the advantages of the V-type design. The foremost engineers in the country acknowledge the superiority of this type ot engine and use it in the finest automobiles, speed boats and alrplaties. Only the Ford gtvee you a V- 8 cylinder engine for less than S2J0O. The Ford V-8 Is the most remarkable en gine ever built because It combines V-8 per formance with economy. It drfivm in ore) horupower per gallon of fuel than any Ford engine ever built. Dynamometer tests prove it in the laboratory. Ford owners by the thou sands have proved It on the road. They know, as you will know, that no car costs less to own and run than the New Ford V-8. TUNE IN FORD DEALERS' RADIO PROGRAM. FRED WARING an HIS PBNNSYL VAN1ANS.
