the second floor of the Weeks 4c Orr

which parltclpated In He construc
tion. With a homey atmosphere,
where good taste and smartness pre
dominate, this unique model home Is
complete In every detail of appoint
ments and furnishings.
The model home is approached by
a beautiful winding stairway con
structed by the Trowbridge cabinet
Works, and the first glimpse of the
cozy, Spanish-style bungalow gives
the Impression that It Is surrounded
by space and distances, made possible
by a poster-type landscape scene

landscape was painted by Johnle
King, a Medford artist. The El Rey

waa Installed by the Woods Lumber
Co.. EI Rey dealers here, while the
attractive wall board throughout the
home, arranged In modernistic pat
terns, was supplied by the Timber
Products Co.
Upon entering the doorway, the vis

ing room with a hospitablo fire glow
ing In the ornamental fireplace. The
fireplace and masonry were handled
by Elmer Childers, general contractor,
and I. C. ChtldfTs, flreplare special

Installations and fixtures were made
and furnished by the People's Elec
tric Btore. One outstanding feature
of the living room's furnishings Is a

was attained through the use of
Wallhlde, a product handled In Med

to woodwork. John H. Lock, Med
ford decorator, handled the painting
and decorating In Medford'a Model

RED RAYS CAUSE
TURKEYS TO LAY
IN MID WINTER
MANHATTAN, Kas. (UP) Bel
entlsts of Kansaa State college have
played a trick on turkeys which has
extended the egg-laying time of
hens from the usual March period to
the first week In January.
Advancement of the egg-producing
period makes possible a crop of tur
keys for the August and September
markets when prices are seasonably
hlgth.
H. M. Scott, associate professor of
poultry husbandry, explained that
the change In the laying time was
effected by activating the reproduct
ive organs of turkea with light rays.
"It la the red rays of the spectrum
that act aa the stimulating agency,"
he said. "The green rays of the spec
trum actually inhibit sexual activity.
MAs a result of these experiments,
the theory haa been advanced that
the red rays of the aun'a spectrum,
or art! f leal light, act upon the ante
rior lobe of the pituitary gland; this
endocrine gland found In the brain
Is stimulated to activity by the red
rays, causing It to prodce a hormone
that activates tne sex glands.
"Since the days grow shorter In the
fall. It la evident that true amount
of red ray available la reduced and
that providing artificial Illumination
compensates for what the tun's spec
trum falls to provide."
Use of the light not only alters
the laying time of old hens but also
brings young hena to maturity soon
er than would otherwise be the case,
the experimenters found.
SALEM. Ore. (UP) Typhoid fever
In Oregon has been brought under
almost complete control, declared
State Health Officer Frederick D.
Strieker, M.D.
As Inte as 1909 the death rate
from this cause was 31 per 100.000
population." said Dr. Strieker. "Epl
demlra of the disease ravaged the
countryside and took a heavy toll
even In our larger cities. In 1933,
the death rate from typhoid fever
In Oregon was 1.9 per 100.000 popu
lation, less than one-tenh of what
It was 35 years ago, before the de
velopment of adequate water purity
control.'
Increased um of the chlorlnatlon
method of purifying water has
brought the number of cases of ty
phoid down rapidly. In 1909 there
were 990 cases In the state, costing
on the average about $300 per case,
or a total of $297,000. In 1934 there
were but 137 cases, which coet ap
proximately $38,000.
The Infant mortality rate, due to
popular education, public health
nurses, health officers and other
agenclea, haa been brought down to
less than four per cent, half of
what It waa only a few years ago,
Dr. Strieker aald.
