Mr. snrl Mrs. Or Plillllpn of Big
Applrcstp, ''n f thp vlct i inn of an
epidemic of mushroom polaonttiR
that struric this wrpjt In the Apple
pate district, afflletlnR seven, were
able to leave the Sacred Hrart hos
pital, where they were taken for
treatment. Mr. Phillips returned to
his home yesterday, and Mrs. Phillips
was to leave today.
None of the other five cases has
yet reached the critical stape, ac
cording to Dr. C. I. Drummond.
county physician, who la Investigat
ing the malady and caring for the
families that have been stricken. All
aeven casea were reported over the
week-end, and as no new ones have
been reported. It la believed the epi
demic may have run its course. Resi
dents of the Applegate district havo
been warned to defer from eating
any variety of mushroom until the
situation la cleaned up.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Phillips, and
three other members of their fam
ily who were afflicted, ate mushrooms
for dinner Saturday and within two
hours showed symptoms of the
poisoning. As the parents ate more
of the fungi than other members of
the family, they became more vio
lently 111. Symptoms of the poison
ing were vomiting and an extreme
Jaundiced, or yellow condition of the
skin.
After making an Investigation to
day. Dr. Drummond determined that
the variety of mushrooms that caus
ed the poisoning Is the Qyromltra
Brunnea, commonly known as the
"monkey ear" and locally as the
"elephant ear" mushroom. They are
poisonous, and are often confused
with odlble types.
The epidemic Is a recurrence of
one which struck last spring In the
Butte rails district, causing many
to be critically 111. The poisoning In
that area was attributed to stlnk
hom fungi, which are easily con
fused with the edible Morel variety.
Dr. Drummond aald the "elephant
ear" mushroom has evidently also
been confused with Morel mush
rooms. He pointed out that the hood
of the Morel mushroom Is attached
completely to the stem, unlike the
stlnkhorn fungi, which also has a
disagreeable odor. The poisonous Gy
romltra Brunnea Is strikingly like a
monkey's or elephant's ear.

There Ja plenty of precedent to give
Babe Ruth every hope of enjoying a
fair measure of sueceaa as a player In

their usefulness In their own circuit.

crowded Wally Plpp out of the Yan

ler, wound up his major league pitch
ing career In a Giant uniform, after a
stay with Cincinnati.
Koenlg Hack In not ham
Koenlg has been added to this
year's Giant roster aa a utility ln
flelder. Slnco leaving the Yankees,
Mark has earned quite a reputation In
the National league as a pennant
saver. His fine work late In the 1932
pennant race put new life Into the
Chicago Cuba and enabled them to
top the league.
The Cincinnati Reds lost no time
in algnlng Harry Hellmann when the
Detroit Tigers releaacd the alugger

ROOSEVELT NEW DEAL
PORTLAND, Ore., April 17. (AP)
Women Democaats of the Pacific
northwest were told today that those
who wish to serve the "new deal"
can best do so neither by making
exaggerated promises for it nor by
glossing over its defects, but by tell
ing the truth about It.
The speaker was Mrs. Ben Klzer of
Spokane. She addressed a group of
women from the northwestern states,
gathered here for one of a series of
"Institutes on Government" spon
sored by the Democratic national
committee.
"There never was a scientific lab
oratory In which mlstakea were not
made." Mrs. Klzer said, and she de
clared the "new deal administration
must pursue the method of trial and
error research." "In embarking upon
a totally new type of public policy,"
she explained, "it Is natural errors
should be committed." She conclud
ed that "to face this fact boldly" Is
the best way to support the Roose
velt administration.
Various phases of proposed economic
security legislation were explained at
the "school" on governmental eco
nomics today.

TTHEN the weather's warm around town,
' and the sun's blazing down on vacation
highways, you need a gasoline like Summer 76
which brings you these three important qualities:
1. HIGH ANTI-KNOCK for smooth, flexible
power, fast acceleration in traffic and on the
grades, and a cool-running motor. '
2. ABSENCE OF VAPOR-lOCK-(the fading
and spluttering that sometimes occurs on hot
days) . Each of the five different altitude and tem
perature zones of the Pacific Coast receives a
grade of 76 especially adapted to the climatic
conditions of the area. (A map showing these
"zones" is included in the "Trip Record" obtain
able from any 76 dealer. See details at left.)
3. MAXIMUM MILEAGE for thrifty motoring.
76 now contains more of the heavy, power and
nileage-civing fractions for warm weather driv
ng and, in addition retains the quick-starting
and anti-knock leadership for which 76 is famous.
Start now to get MILEAGE YOU CAN
MEASURE with Summer 76. You'll find it at
thousands of independent dealers and all Union
service stations-at no sxtra cost. Just watch for
the big 76 banntr.

The projects he favored were:
1. A thorough study of the stats

Its administration; comparison of
the findings of this study with con

and the submission of recommenda

buildings and parks. The first step
in this Investigation would be the
making of a complete Inventory of
