ever, aald:
"I am alone but present condi

From the staccato story told In
her meagre messages, sea-going men
deduced the stricken freighter lost
her rudder In the storm; was being
directed by the movement of her
propeller, and apparently was hold

The drama of the ship against

warm living rooms ashore after the
Japanese freighter told of her radio
receiving apparatus being disabled,
and asked that she be communi

Regular broadcasts were Interrupt.

CHEESE OUTPUT

creasing output of cheese was sug
gested generally In the weekly trade
review. Output In practically all sec
tions was showing a lose but scarcely
aa much as during normal seasons,
Absence of price changes waa sug
gested by the survey which continued
to reflect strength for the smaller
packages on account of previous gov
ernment purchases.
The Portland produce exchange
made an almost general advance in
the price on butter during the late
session, firsts alone being unchanged.
While, officially there was no advance
In butterfat, actually the fat price
advanced lc lb.

WRITERS' LEAGUE
ENJOYS VISIT OF
JAY R. DE SPAIN
(By Maude E. Pool.)
The unsurpasslng beauty of dn
heard melodies, the Intimate whis
pering of falling anowflakes, the
probability that some day the ear
may hear colorsubtle beauties of
thought like these, born of the frag
ile sensitiveness of a poet's soul, were
glimpsed by a Urge group of listen
ers gathered at Hotel Medford Sat
urday afternoon, when Jay Roderick
Do Spa In of Portland, national of
ficial of the League of Western Writ
ers, addressed trie local chapter.
"Study, study, study, what the mod
ern writers and critics are doing. If
you want to know what poets are
doing, read modern poets and notice
their work from the standpoint of
construction," was the advice of Mr.
DeSpaln, one of the best poetry critic
of the west. Delving Into the depths
of his subject, the speaker 'explained
many of the technicalities of produc
ing verse, Illustrating his meaning ny
reading portions of his own lyric and
sonnets.
"Poetry Is the language of Indirec
tion, using the figure of metonymy.
Anything that attracts attention fr-m
the thought you are trying to expre3
detracts from the artistry of the
poem," the critic said in urging t'.ie
poet to develop the use of natural
expression.
"If you wish to write something
you do not cava to be responsible
for, put the words In the mouth of a
character, aa say the floor aald
It." Mr. DeSpaln advised. The spear.- '
er described his method of achieving
effect through sound produced by
careful selection of words, also ix
plalnlng the Introduction and devel
opment of climax, attainment of
rhythm, and introduction of agita
tion. The excellency of thla poet's woik
has come partly through striving iir
words, phrases, and subject maitr
which have not been overworked
"Justice has never been written to!
death; love has," he aaid. and f rom j
that conclusion, he has written an
epic of 13,000 line on a conference;
between Indian warrJors and the On- j
known Soldier In the Happy Hunting I
Ground. I
Touching briefly on the alma oi;
the League of Western Writers, M ,
DeSpaln said the organization, which j
has experienced a normal, steady,
growth alnce Its beginning eight years
ago, hoped to build up a literature
of the west. He expressed the desire
that the league would become su:
flclently Urge to absorb an edition
of a book. Mr. DeSpaln recently
met with the Los Angeles and -Sin
Francisco chapters, speaking favor
ably of their groups.
Particularly appropriate for the
afternoon program waa the vocal ao.r,
"Calling You," by Mrs. R. C Mul
holland. The song was composed by
Mr. DeSpaln, who received the In
spiration while observing waves on
the beach. Two violin solos wre
given by Miss Dorotny uore. iui
Alice Holmbeck accompanied at tne
piano.
A dinner In honor "of Mr. DeSpiln
was given at the hotel in the evening.
after which the group went to tho
home of Mrs. Atlanta Batch well, Ore
gon executive, and president of tlw
Medford branch, where further liter
ary observation were enjoyed. M"
DeSpaln read from "Hymn of Mult
nomah," beautiful hand-bound Illu
minated edition of his work, which
displayed hand decorations. An Il
lustrated poem on comparison of m.n
and trees by John Cribble also was
read by the visiting poet. The even
ing was concluded by a whistling solo
by Miss Katherlne Grlbble.
Mr. DeSpaln also met with the Pen
Pushers' organization at the home of
Mrs. Louise Hedges, Friday afternoon.
