MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUXE, MEDF01U,OT5F.G OX. MOXDAY. .TTJXE 17. PAGE THREE TORRENTIAL RAINS OF Port Has Rain Average of 231 DaysOut of Year One of Most Healthful Cities After Fever Curbed WASHINGTON. D. C (Spl.) Tor rential rains are not new to Bahla (Sao Salvador), Brazil. Rain falls there on an average of 331 days a year; but the recent cloudbursts that brought death to many citizens and destruction to thousands of dollars worth of property, caused residents to peer anxiously into the water drenched heavens. "Probably the outstanding calamity of the downpour was the almost com plete isolation of the Upper Town, with Its fine residences, shops, and schools, from the Lower Town, whose docks and warehouses furnish the dally supplies," says a bulletin from the headquarters of the National Geographic Society at Washington. D. C. Brazil's Third Largest Port "Bahla Id Brazil's oldest city, and la outranked only by Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo among Brazilian ports. It has grown rapidly, increasing Its population more than a third since 1900. The present population num bers about 345,000, of which a large proportion is made up of negroes and mulattoes. "In Its development Bahla has lit erally 'grown up.' Jumping from its original site along the bay's edge to the top of the cliff over 300 feet above, with which it is connected by elevators and winding roads. On ac count of this two-story arrangement, Bahla has been compared to Quebec, HongKong, and Valparaiso. "The port is situated on the east coast of Brazil about 400 miles south of Pernambuco (Recife), on the Bay of Bahla. In summer months, the southern monsoon formerly caused rough water in the bay, making It difficult for ships to land their car provements to the harbor were be gun. Plans included the building of breakwaters, quays, and warehouses. Much of the construction has been completed, making Bahla one of the finest ports on the east coast of South America, and an important coaling station. Ships skirting the Brazilian coast, or connecting with Europe and North America, put In at Bahla to take on fuel, food, and wa ter, to replenish their supplies from the naval arsenal, and for ship re pairs. Monkeys Imported From India "In normal times. Bahia's harbor hums with activity. Ships from many world ports line up along its quays to unload flour, salt and manufac tured goods. Huge movable cranes swing barrels of wine and tanks of chemicals from ships into numerous warehouses, and deposit in empty holds tobacco, coffee, and sugar. Chief among exports are black dia monds, or 'carbonadoes,' which min ers use in the ends of drills; cacao beans, a large percentage of which find their way to American break fast tables In the form of cocoa; and navel oranges, whose ancestors were the forerunners of those now enrich ing California. "The bay swarms with small lateen-rigged boats. From Itaparlca. a slxteen-mlle-long Island in the bay near Bahla. come most of the fruits and vegetables for the city's market. Luscious oranges and pineapples, gua vas, and papayas especially tempt buyers. "To supervise Bahia's busy com merce, shipping offices, banks and consulates are crowded along the nar row streets of the Lower Town. In the evening, wealthy merchants leave these for homes set among spacious gardens and parks In the breezy Up per Town. There, beautiful govern ment buildings remind the visitor that Bahla Is the present capital of the State of Bahla, while tlle-decor-ated residences, resembling those of Losbon. recall that Bahla was for over two centuries the Portuguese capital of Brazil. "For many years, Bahla was one of the birthplaces of widespread yellow fever epidemics in South America. Today it Is one of the most health ful tropical cities In the world. It has a fine medical college and sev eral hospitals. A force of more than 10.000 men employed to keep yellow fever under control, maintains con stant vigilance against the dread disease, examining cisterns, draining ditches, experimenting with serums. Since Brazilian monkeys are Immune to the fever, monkeys are imported from India to act as experimental pa tients. "Bahla is determined to stay healthful. Approaching vessels are supposed to indicate their last port of call, when a vessel falls to answer the signalled question 'where from.' especially after any world port has bren formally quarantined, the cap tain is given a gentl reminded by gunfire from one of the forts guard ing Bahla."

TO MEET IN Ml TUSSLE THURSDAY A perfect combination of popular grapplers for the main event of this week's wrestling program at the Armory was announced today by Pro moter Mack LUlard, who proudly stat ed that Joe Hubka. whirlwind mat man from University of Nebraska, will tangle with Lea Wolfe. Hubka's only rival in popularity here, for one hour or two out of three falls. LUlard made the selection of an opponent for Wolfe only after careful consideration, determined to give the fans the best match of the year. Wolfe is undoubtedly the beat-liked muscle-mangier ever to appear In Medford, and Hubka Is a close second. Both are clean, scientific and speedy wrestlers promising a welcome change from the smear and sneer type of grprlfrg that has featured the local cards during the past several months. The match promises to draw a bevy of feminine admirers of the handsome Texan, who formerly attracted as many women fans here as men. "Iron Man" Hubka Is equally well llked and his famous educated legs are a sou.rce of fireworks in every ap pearance. Johnny Soos. speedy matman whose Initial appearance here several weeks ago still sets well with the fans, will tangle In the 45 -minute semi-final with Babe Smollnskl. an aggressive, capable muscler who Is also remem bered here as a big-time grappler. This bout should produce plenty of action and possibly a good share of grudge matwork. Herman Olson, who entered the recent Los Angeles mat tournament and is rated among the top grimace men on the coast, will meet Johnny McWood, former U. C. L. A. footballer, in the 30 minute opener. Science and speed is slated In this portion of the triple-deck card. HOOD RIVER, Ore.. June 17 (AP) Where would you deliver a letter, sent from Japan. If It waa addressed aa follows: D. 8.

TO GET ROOSEVELT Advocates Coalition Ticket Grow Louder As Methods of Defeating F. D. R. in 1936 Are Discussed By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau. Associated Press, Washington) Talk of a "coalition ticket" to op pose Mr. Roosevelt for re-election In 1936 Is prowl ng increasingly preva lent where conservative politicians get together. When the proposal first waa broached the tendency almost every where was to dismiss It as fantac tlc and altogether unattainable aa a prnctlcnl proposition, however sound it might appear on paper. Now some seasoned leaders are not so sure. They think It might be Just possible. Nnturally, there are reasons for this change, however slight it may be. One reason Is that the idea keeps cropping up among responsible peo ple In widely-scattered sections of the country. Another Is that there are evidences that a sizeable campaign cheat might readily be available If the right sort of ticket were nomin ated. The present difficulty is that no one seems to be taking the lead to wnrd definite organization of senti ment toward such an end. Without that, of course, the project scarcely can be kept alive very long. New Party Talked Some Interesting suggestions have been mndo by those who think the venture has possibilities. At present there Is a strong senti ment among these political pioneers that It would not be sufficient mere ly to nominate a conservative demo crat for president on the republican ticket; It Is proposed to go the length of Women's or &irls- WASH DRESSES 98c Cool, neat atytea women want for tha houae, shop ping buaintsB or afternoona, 14 to M.

A part of the understanding would be that this new party would nom inate a democrat for president, and a republican for vice president, and pledge that the cabinet would be a real "coalition" group, chosen from both the old parties. One New York banker has made a unique auggestion for getting away from the old republican label. He proposes that the new party adopt in toto the democratic national plat form of 1932. with Its pledges of gov ernmental economy, a balanced bud get, "sound currency." and so on. The whole theory behind the move ment Is, of course, that only a union of all the conservatives can defeat Mr. Roosevelt, and that no such union can be hoped for under tht republican banner. Douglas Favored Lewis Douglas, the budget director who left the new deal line-up be cause he thought the administration was spending too freely, is much fa vored for first place on such a ticket. There Is mention also of Senator Byrd of Virginia, and Senator Bailey of North Carolina. Alfred E. Smith Is not so frequent ly spoken of because one of the prime suppositions Is that such a party would depend for support on a com bination of the east and the south, and Smith's 1928 record of vote-getting in the south la well remember ed. Another assumption by those who favor the plan Is that Senator Huey Long will run In 1936 as an inde pendent, splitting the liberal-radical vote tn enough states to put the con servative coalition ticket acrobs. Whether he actually will do so prob ably Is not known by anyone except Long himself. Such a set-up undoubtedly would be one of the most interesting, aa well aa one of the most extraordi nary, in history. Three democrats, shading off from deep right to deep left, would be running against one another for president. Obstacles Seen Of course the obstacles are obvi ous and they explain why most politicians still think the Idea only a dream. It la hard to visualize the rank and file of republican politicians giving up. and conceding there is no repub lican with a chance to win in 1938 It la still harder to conceive of the MONTGOMERY WARD COTTON FROCKS 1 .95 Coo, Washable Types ..14-44 In this Parade of Valuea you'll find a smart, flattering summer cotton for any hour of the day Plenty of dressy, patterned sheers aa well aa tailored cotton for sports.
