PAGE TWO MEDFORD M ML TRTBUNE. MEDFOKD, OREGON, FRIDAY. JUNE 28, 1935. L BE IS LONG ARMS OF STEEL FOR BRIDGE WASHINGTON. D. C. (Spl.) If by chance you still are skeptical about old Mother Earth being really round, amazing photograph from the atrt osphere may soon convince you be yond all doubt. Four hundred years after Magel lan's voyage, daring explorers in the National Geographic-Army Air Corps stratosphere balloon are planning new proof that the world Is rouna. this time by photographs taken high above the earth Instead of by sailing laboriously around It. When the balloon soars Into the sky from the South Dakota Black Hills, soon. It la planned to obtain photographs that will show the cur vature of the earth nn the horizon, snapped from altitudes up to 14 mllea or more. A large Fairchtld aerial camera, de signed to "see" farther than the hu man eye, will taka the pictures thru a hole In the gondola wall. It will penetrate the htize near the horizon with the aid of the invisible infra red rays of light, using film especially sensitive to these rays. The curvature of the earth has been photographed before by Capt. Albert W. Stevens, commander and scientific observer of the flight. In 1930. in South America, from an air plane at a height of 21,000 feet, he made the first photogrnph which shows the earth's curvature laterally. Photographs of the horizon from the stratosphere, moro than three times as high, however, should in clude a much broader sweep of coun try and hence show the curvature more plainly. How the corth would look to a visi tor from Mnra, at least when he near ed the end of his trip, will be re vealed by photographs taken straight downward during the stratosphere flight. A Falrchlld aerial camera In the bottom of the gondola will snap pictures of the earth every 1' min utes. These not only will show how ,the earth looks from great heights but will be usea in computing what height the balloon had reached at the time each picture was taken. They also will reveal the speed and direction of the bnlloon's drift, which can be calculated from landmarks shown In each photo and from watch faces and compass dials photographed simultaneously. i i - I. a- -i T i nt ni DIET FEAR FADS FAST IS Spanning a section of San Francisco bay from Yerba Buena Island to Oakland, this photograph shows the construction work on the Island with the shoreslde structure In the background.

(Associated Press Photo , NEW YORK (UP) Branding fear fads In eating and drinking aa arch enemies to the well being of the American public, Dietrich P. Fischer. food research chemist, forecasts an early return to uninhibited eating supported by common sense. He de clares that science has shown diet ing fads, with their attendant "do's and don'ts" and "musts and mustn'ts" to have built up a psychological con dition which haa worked as a detri ment to many. "This condition of the Individual at meal times Is as important as the food and drink consumed." Fischer said. "Sit down to a meal In a happy frame of mind, banish food fears and t worries, and your digestive and other vital organs will treat you well. A well balanced meal, consisting of a meat, vegetables, a sweet, cheese or fruit, and a cup of hot beverage Is then more enjoyable than tolerable. "Science recently has exiled the danger t of the consumption of fish and ice cream at the same meal, and orange Juice and milk, now re garded as Important factors In s healthful breakfast. Tomato Juice, once regarded aa poisonous, now Is even recommended for infants. And tea, regarded with apprehension by many, when taken In quantities, haa proved by experiments to be harm less." At the Chemical Institute's ter-, centenary meeting of the American Chemical society, Fischer reported that three generations of white rats thrived on black tea. Hta research Indicated that the animals drank more than seven per cent of their body weight In tea, dally. The experiment was made on white rata because of their similarity In nutritional requirements and meta bolism to human beings. WASHINGTON. June 28. (AP) Lawrence Went brook, assistant relief administrator, asserted today diffi culties In the Matanuska valley, Alaska colony, were caused by "agita tors." Westbrook, who supervised estab lishment of the colony, said a report received today said 00 per cent of the 300 families "are satisfied with ttwlr lot and determined to see the project through." He added that Leo Jacobs, super vising architect, had reported that "ten per cent of the number are re sponsible for the stories of unrest oe inir sent from the valley and they constitute a group of 'agitators who are Idle'." "With the arrival of Eugene Carr, FERA representative, at Palmer yes terday," Westbrook added, "I expect an early settlement of any real or fancied grievances which colonists may have."

TALK IS REVIVED Talk Is again being revived In the Interests of a municipal swimming tank for this city, with enthusiasm being expressed by many, and with at least one prominent business man stating that he Is willing to donate $250 to see the dream come true. One service club la reported as seriously considering an active par ticipation in the project, having had a standing committee consider ing the plana for some time. There seems to be two achoois of thought In the city, as to Just where such a pool should be built, with the majority believing that it ahould be constructed at the playground near the Main street bridge. The other school believes that It ahould be constructed on the east side of the town, to depend upon the run-on from the old city reservoir for Its water supply, a survey shows. Plans for the project are still very tentative. AMITY WATERWORKS GRANT IS APPROVED WASHINGTON, June 2B.

For science has evolved a new method of plucking which leaves a chicken's akin as smooth as a baby's chin. The secret lies In giving the birds a "wax bath." The new process was demonstrated to Montreal poultry dealers by Dr. N. H. Grance of the National Re search Council of Canada. Armed with a couple of galvanized Iron tanks and 30 pounds of specially prepared wax. Dr. Grace showed the audience plucking that was plucking. While several hundred dtalers watched, he dipped a roughly dressed chicken Into a special liquid wax at a temperature ranging between 125 and 130 degrees, pulled It out, lec It cool off and then scraped off the wax. The fowl dealers examined the fin ished product in wonder. Not a ves tige of hair or feather could be found and the skin was as smooth as a healthy schoolgirl's. Use Mall Tribune want ads. KEPT OLD WORLD CASTE TRADITION NEW HAVEN, Conn. (UP) Prof. James G, Leybury, Yale sociologist, has shattered the popular belief that the Puritan leaders were chiefly concerned with establishing equality when they founded the Massachu setts Bay colony. "Instead of throwing off the be draggled garments of Europe and starting life afresh In the wilder ness, they liked many of them and tried to keep them even when they were In rags." he revealed tn study of pioneers. "When a group of people leave an old and settled country to start life again upon the frontier." he wrote, "they ordinarily do not wish to give up all their accustomed snd familiar ways. On the contrary, they wish to keep as much as they can of the old civilization, merely chang ing those parts of It which seemed to them disadvantageous. "To the Puritan leaders there was a natural aristocracy, composed of the clergymen and the small group of 'gentlemen' who stood squarely with the clergy In this theocracy. This new land, they held, ahould be ruled only by God'a elect. Early magistrates came from this class. Students at Harvard were listed and seated, not In alphabetical order, but according to their 'dignities.' "Merchants and traders ranked next to the aristocrats, and after these the skilled laborers, generally freeholders, who did most of the work of society. Many of them se cured a vote by nieetlng property qualifications." Next in order Prof. Leyburn Hated unskilled workers, indentured ser vants, Negroes and Indians. "These claaa distinctions." he said, "were carried out In the allotment of town lands, of church pews and even the work of establishing the new settlements on the frontier. Various other practice were based upon them: the punishment ot whipping was not administered to the gentry; titles of Master and Mistress were sccorded to them only; women of the lower class could not wear silk unless their husbands were worth 200 pounds. "The whole tradition was against democracy and yet It prevailed." will be presented. Success of the Bible school this year la due to fine co-operation between scholars, parents, and teach ers. Increasing Interest was shown by increasing attendance and enroll ment. In spite of those leaving on vacations the percentage Increase of attendance was higher than the per centage increase of enrollment. Tne faculty, too. gave their services free.
