City's First Fire Lads Swap Tales of Pioneer Experiences at Reunion Looking back over quarter cen tury, to the time when they answered the cry of "Flrel" with clumsy hand drown hose carta, 23 old time tire luddifs spent a memorable day at the McUford fire hall yesterday in a reunion ot Ilremen of 25 years ago. Old times came hack with every handshake and eye twinkle as the old timers gathered during the day, In specting the modern fire hall and equipment, chatting about how things change, und sitting down in the evening to the climax real Ilremen'a turkey dinner. But there was one thing the fire men mlfwed. There was no call. Had there bt-en a fire last night, while these veterans were patting the red hoods of Medford'a fire trucks, It probably would have been too bad for the fire. From many parti of Oregon nd even northern California, firemen ar rived in ones and two throughout the day, first visiting old friends and relatives In the city. Lunch waa serv ed at noon, and the group grew in elze during the rest of the day until the banquet, pronounced excellent, was spread by P. C. ("Sody Pop") Blgham. At a abort buslneas meeting min utes of some of the old meetings were read and letters from aome of the old timers who were unable to attend opened. Tiie mlnutea of the first flremen'a reunion, held March 14, 1030, were rend, and it waa unani mously agreed to hold a similar re union five years hence, when firemen of 30 years ago will reassemble. Outstanding In the group were three charter member of Medford lire department: Eugene Amann, 04, chief 26 years ago; D. T. Law ton, 83. and Ernest Langley, 67, all members nf the flrfct fire department Medford had. the Medford Protection Fire Hose Co.. organized some 40 years ago. Ex-Chief Amann, now living at Wolf Creek, observed great many changes in methods of fire fighting. When "Gene" waa chief, the depart ment possessed only hose carte and ona hure-uittn was'en, In 1912 Medford's first auto truck waa put into use, and served faithfully de aplfce the first hoots from the public, until only five years ago. One of the tales told by the most 'reminiscent of the fire laddies brought back the days of 1010, when Jtre ordinances were nearly as few j as automobiles. One day, the story ran, a livery barn at Eighth and I Riverside caught fire. All hands reached the scene and BLAST OLD Low Temperatures Found Best for Tender Cuts As Well As Tough Tender Roasts Cooked Uncovered CORVALLIS (Bpl.) Many prac tices In. meat cookery that women have believed to be correct and have practiced for many years have now been discarded by home economics research workers in favor of newer methods, some of which are exactly opposite, says Mitts Lillian Taylor, in structor In foods and nutrition at Oregon State collegi. Cooking at a low temperature has long been regarded as easentlal for tough cut of meat, but It la now also considered the best method for cooking the more tender exits as well. Miss Taylor says, aa It gives a Juicier, and more tasty piece of meat Meat cooked at a high temperature tends to become tougher the longer it Is co iked. Took HoiM I'lienvered. Uoiirtta from the more tender cuts of meat, except veiil, nre now being cooked uncovered. When the roaster Is covered the steam gathers on the lid and drops on the meat, prevent ing browning and washing off much of the flavor, says Miss Taylor, It is well to use a ruck In the roaster to hold the meat up out of the gravy, she points out. and If the roast la placed on the rack fat nlde up It requires very little basting. Unless one Is In a hurry, searing r on ms before putting them In the IT'S BETTER TO BEAT A COLD THAN TREAT IT Cold grrimi lie in wait for you all the year 'round.

CCNTRATE TaBLLIS, set to work laying out the line, but it so happened that the mayor at that time was out of town, and the acting mayor, passing by, ordered Chief Amann to remove the hot from the street so as not to block traffic. Chief Amann refused and soon had the biasing barn under control. He was later taken before the mayor, who complimented him upon his sense of duty. Another fire, one of the hottest the firemen could recall, was the burn ing of the old opera house at Eighth and Front streets. The building waa demolished In less than 20 minutes, but the firemen kept the flames from spreading to other frame buildings not ten fet away. When the old Washington school at West Main and Oakdale burned to the ground, Ernest A. Langley Inter cepted the cart cn Its way up Main street and guided the tongue by hand through the crowd. Gordon Scher merhorn drove the buggy and Oene Amman led the hose cart by a rope. The only firemen on the scene for some time, these three were unable to combat that spectacular blaze. Then, as now, the duties of the fire department were not only to fight fire, and when the big flood of the '90s reached Medford. the fire men were the first at salvage work. It waa told how one fireman, aa the Main stret bridge left Its moorings and swept downstream, tied a rope to It from an apple tree, When the rope tightened it snapped like a string. A barn, with haystack, chick ens and all, came floating down stream, the firemen recalled. They relived these and many other experi ences. , Those who attended the reunion were: Eugene Amann, former chief. Wolf Creek; H. D. Ling, his assistant, Yreka; H. T. Haswell. secretary, Med ford; J.

Lawton, former chief, and Tom Merrlman. oven la no longer considered the best procedure, according to Miss Taylor. The main purpose of sear ing Is to give flavor and brown ness and if a roast la cooked long enough It wilt brown and will develop a fine flavor, she says. Halting Aids Flavor. That meat should not be salted before It la cooked Is ar.t.ther theory that has now been abandoned, Miss Taylor reports. It Is now believed hi at sail is BDsoroea into trie raw meat and gives a better flavor, and while It doea tend to draw out some of the Juices, these go Into the gravy and are not lost. Pork Is cooked In much the same manner ns beef, but at a little higher temperature and for a slightly longer time, Mlsa Taylor says.

THE BRINGJEW ERA Device Now Being Perfected Which Will Replace Mule, Negro and Plow Social Problem May Result By H A KM A V NICHOLS United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO (UP) The Old South stands at the gateway of a new era, agricultural experts said recently. The cotton picker, a mechanical device now being perfected, may re place the mule, the negro and the plow. This new Implement, which manu facturers have been striving to per feet for nearly half a century, also may present a serious social problem In the lives of people living In one- sixth of the land area of the United States. Difficult Task A member of the firm of the In ternational Harvester Company, which exhibited a cotton picker dur ing the first summer of a Century of progress, said: "Although we have been working on details of such a machine for many years, no successful one has been completed. It la only a matter of a short time, however, until these pickers will be put Into practical op eration.' An article In the American Mer cury by Oliver Carlson stirred up much comment on the possibility of a revolution In cotton. The Mercury's article outlined the growth of the cotton kingdom, be ginning with Ell Whitney's gin. with Its Ingenious method of separating the cotton seed from the cotton fibre. The writer contrasted the North, with Its efficient and numerous factories and numberless industries with the South, which sucks Its livelihood from a solitary endeavor. Designers Texans Designers of the new device, which someday will send thousands of Ne groes Into another occupation they know not what John D. Rust, and Mack D. Rust, were born and raised on a Texas cotton plantation. From earliest boyhood they wera compelled to engage In the back-breaking task of picking cotton. The brothers spent nearly ten years experimenting with the new machine. The first test waa made In the stubblcd fields of Texas, where a fair degree of efficiency of the machine was reported. After more tests in the Mississippi delta region, where cot-1 let you down o CENTER LEAVES CENTER LEAVES GIVE ton grows aa high as three and a half or four feet, tha brothers were well on their way to creating a machine which waa simple. Inexpensive and durable. During one experiment the ma chine waa said to have picked more cotton In seven and a half hours than a good hand picker could pick In an entire season, three and a half months.
