WITH FALL MODES
Following a month spent In Los
Angeles and San Francisco, Calif .(
Mrs. Adrlenne Steward returned to
Medford Thursday night bringing
with her news about fall and winter
fashions. She selected a large stock
of merchandise for both her local
and Klamath Falls stores, securing
many attractive garments from east
ern market representatives In Los
Angelea.
Among the outstanding colors on
display in the cities for autumn wear
were rich browns, deep wine tones.
Interesting greens, navy blue and the
ever present black. Elaborate sleeve
treatments predominate on frocks for
dress occasions. Skirls for daytime
wear are noticeably shorter but for
afternoon and evening they remain
gracefully long wtth fullness placed
at the front. Snug-ftttlng sports
dresses of rabbit hair wool and Jersey
will be popular for school and busi
ness wear, according to Adrlenne.
Coats may flaunt gorgeous fur
tT.mm.ng or none at all and be
equally smart. There Is a wide va-
i.riety of hat styles and most of them
are more becoming and feminine In
appearance than hats of the past
winter.

ENLIST TODAY
If some other nation struck suddenly
it our shores and killed 36,000 of our
people and injured nearlv a million
others, how quickly we'd KlGHTl
We'd crush each other in the jam at
the enlistment stations.
Our patriotic blood would geyser
like Old Faithful. Bugles would sound,
band would play, orators would orate,
we'd give up sugar and wheat, and
women would start to knit socks by
the million.
Yet an enemy worse than any warrior-nation
is at our doors today and
we YAWN with indifference.
Automobile accident killed 36,000
people last year and injured nearly a
million, and we don't bat an eye.
Will you get a war-like spirit toward
this great enemy of our population
will you fight will you boil your blood
a little about this OR will you try to
"get it fixed" th next time you are
handed a ticket for speeding will you
giggle at traffic regulations will you
drive while under the influence of in
toxicants will you drive with selfish
recklessness and darn-fool abandon
will you consider automobile safety
just a gag?
Which? Which side are you on? In
the last 10 years automobile accidents,
according to The Travelers insurance
Company, have killed 291,061 persons.
The Toss of life and limb from automo
bile accident is "Worse Than War."
EVANS CREEK LOOP TRIP
OFFERS PICNIC PLACES
For a pleasant Sunday afternoon
drive of about 60 miles, It would be
difficult to find a better than the
Evans creek loop trip, going out
through Sams Valley. Take the Mid
way road from the old Central Point
highway, continuing on past the By
bee bridge.
Turn left past the old Table Rock
store, and then continue on to
Beagle. Be careful, In this drive, not
to turn back Into the Oold Hill mar
ket road, but continue directly on to
Beagle and beyond. On this part of
the drive you will pass by the recent
big burn, when 150 acres of grass
1 and brush went up In flames.
Keep on past Beagle until you cross
' Evans creek, then turning to the left
j and following downstream along a
j fine road close to the bank. Almost
: any spot from here down will make
j an Ideal picnic spot, with green grass,
j big trees, and fine trout flahlng wa
! ters. In the fall this Is a fine deer
, hunting country.
j At the fork, where the creek
j branches into two streams, or rather
Into one from two streams, the best
! picnic spot of all Is to be found.
Cool, moss covered rocks, moistened
by the spray from the tumbling wa
ters, and tall, stately pine and fir
trees supply a lovely setting for a late
afternoon lunch.
Downstream from the fork, after
you cross Ramsey creek. Is some of
the most wildly beautiful scenery In
southern Oregon on down past
Wimer, where a prize-winning CCCt
camp Is located. If you arrive here'
during the day the CCC men will be
more than glad to show you around
their camp, and will undoubtedly be
able to point out many interesting
side trips, because of their familiar
ity with the terrain.
If you like a little longer trip, you
can cut back from Wimer and take
the Pleasant creek loop trip, about
eight miles longer, which brings you
Into the town of Rogue River by a
different road. Both roads, however,
are in fairly good repair. Another side
trip, indicated by road markers, 1 to
the Bybee mineral springs.
When you get to the town of Rgue
River, tf the kid want a fine place
to swim, turn right, up Rogue river
before crossing the bridge and go to
the Evans creek dam, sometimes
called the Old Mill dam. The water
la deep and warm. The smaller kids
should be rigidly supervised here,
however, aa the dam Itself Is high,
and a fall from Its brink might eas
ily prove fatal. a
In the return from Rogue River,
you may not care to drive down the
prosaic Pacific highway, and a fine
side trip will carry you back to Med
ford through Jacksonville If you turn
off to the right on the Foots Creek
road, coming past the old Sturgis
mine, and connecting with the Ruch
highway above Jacksonville. The road
Is not good, however.
