MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKD, OREGON. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 15. 1935 PAGE FIVE HAND TRIBES GO ON RAMPAGE; AT Raids Into English Terri tory by Hill Men Due to Poverty Caused by Failure of Their Crops WASHINGTON, D. 0. Snipers' rllles are popping and British Tom mies are marching again along In dia's northwest frontier, for the Mohmands are on another rampage. "To the outside world this news means little, for few people ever Never Treat a Cold Lightly Never send a boy to do a man's work. That's why we my to you. go today to Jarmln Drug Co. and get a bottle of that famous, smooth, creamy creosoted Emulsion known to phar macists as Bronchuline Emulsion. It's a medicine for grown-ups 'or coughs that hang on and never seem to let go. No sweet syrupy concoction that simply plays with a cough no dope or habit-forming drugs It quickly strikes at the source of the trouble. Get a bottle and enjoy a good night's rest. mm heard of the Mohmands, but to Eng land It means one more chapter in a pacification campaign that has lasted for nearly 100 years." says a bulletin from the headquarters of the National Geographic society. Chief Trouble-Mnkers The Mohmands, a tribe of the Afghan border hilt men, have been among the chief trouble-makers for England in the region ever since the British conquest of India. 'In this rugged mountain country, where the northern tip of India thrusts up toward Russia between primitive Afghanistan and mysterious Tibet, British and native Indian forces have carried on periodical cam paigns against the Mohmands and other troublesome tribesmen since the middle of the last century. "It was from these little border campaigns that Rudyard Kipling gathered much of the material for his poems about life among the British soldiers in India; and today they are waged In jnuch the same setting as when Kipling wrote. "The Mohmands are part of the sPathan or Afghan people, living in the hill country along the frontier between India and Afghanistan. In this region also live the Afrtdta. Wazlrls, Orakzals. Sivatts. and Ba Jourls. Part of their territory Is ruled by the king of Afghanistan, but most of It Is attached, loosely at least, to British Jurisdiction. "The Mohmand territory covers about 1.200 squart miles of hilly country northwest of Peshawar, cap ital and chief city of the northwest frontier province of India. Tht reg ion is hot and almost treeless, with the hills covered by a low scrub growth of stunted palms and coarse grass. Near Khyber Pass "When the rains fall in the Moh mand territory the crops fail also, and many of the persistent raids of the tribesmen upon British territory have been due to poverty as much as to natural love of fighting. There Is now little Income from the pas sage of caravans, for the former trade routes through the Mohmand country have been less used since the opening of the Khyber pass, world-famous hlohwav of commerce between India and Afghanistan. "The Mohmands are Inferior In physique to their native neighbors, the Afrldis and Shlmwarls, because of the heat and the unheal th fulness of the river lowlands of their coun try; but they are known for their bravery and can muster several thousand fighting men. "Like most of the Afghan border tribes the Mohmands are Mohamme dans and have fought at least one Jehad, or 'holy war, against the British. The population of the north west frontier province of India Is 92 per cent Moslem, a larger pro portion than in any other Indian province. "Peshawar, main base of the Brit ish forces operating against the Moh mands, is roughly about the size of Trenton. N. J. It is on the direct route that leads through the Khyber pass to Kabul, capital of Afghanistan, 200 miles away. Surrounded by a brick and mud wall, Peshawar teems with all the tribes and races of northern India, who flock into its huge markets to trade everything from rich Bokhara carpets to fruit and grain. Near the city a large per manent garrison of British and In dian troops is stationed." Sehuss Vintage Co. 211 E.

Sea Disaster Survivor Gives Thrilling Story Of Rescue From Rock (The following eye witness account of the sinking of the British freight er Silverhazel and the rescue of its crew and passengers after four days on a wave swept rock in the Pacific was written for the Associated Ptess by Mrs. Winifred Scott Blssinger, former San Francisco newspaper woman, who was returning to Manila on tht Silverhazel. Three sailors were cited for their heroism in rescuing her.) J' J Jo PICKUP AND MARRIAGE GAIN LINKED IN El LONDON (UP) Cupid is winning in his battle with depression. Mar riages are oh the boom. Eight persons are marrying for every seven a year ngo. Men and women both are marry ing younger. Widows are remarrying at the rate of 10.000 a year. With more than 2.000 brides and bridegrooms going to the attar dally, sociologists believe that the Improve ment is due to improved industrial conditions and better housing facili ties. This latter consideration no longer provides the obstacle that It did a few years ago. Anyone with a reasonably certain Job can find means of financing a small house In stead of living with the "in-laws." A modern tendency, however. Is for wives 'to hold positions longer than hitherto. In soma cases they earn nearly as much as their husbands. The feeling is that a littlo nest egg built up today will come In handy In future years. This tendency to go on working has one bad feature in that it is causing a fall la the birthrate. Mrs. George Blssinger Malaria, intentionally contracted, is a cure for some bacterial diseases. SURVEY SIRE NEED OE FOR EMPLOYMENT KEW YORK (UP) An appalling lack of vocational training as one of the basic causes of unemployment Is perhaps the most significant fact re vealed by one of the most unusual national surveys Just completed. The 250.000 Camp Fire Girls of the country collected data on unemploy ment, relief, public works needs and projects and the requisites for bet ter citizenship. This Is believed to be one of the first times in history that a large segment of the nation's womanhood between the ages of 14 and 20 has been given the opportun Ity to express its opinions on the most vital problems of the day. The survey involved a careful study of local city governments throughout the country and a fairly comprehensive grasp of local relief plans and objectives. But the girls did not stop here. They went further, making suggestions for needed public works, such as buildings, and parks, even making models to scale of these. Also, they worked out careful and comprehensive budgets on feeding a family of four on as a week In the south and 7 to C10 per week In the north, where food prices are higher. Results of the survey were submit ted first to Mrs. Franklin D. Roose velt who said In part: "I think the girls who did this sur vey did a remarkably good Job. In meeting this need they are assets to their communlticB.'V So careful and significant Is the survey considered, that it Is planned to submit the results to the Federal Oovernment as Informational aid In relief work.

PA. i II Wit QUART tL., fXt 'jflnJk) By Mrs. Winifred Scott BKMngrr Written for the Associated Press MANILA. Nov. 15. yJP) I was In bed when the Stlverhnzcl grounded. Saturday. There was a scrnping sound, a little shock and then five blasts of the whistle sounded. George, my husband, and I went to the foredeck. We were there when about two thirds of the ship broke away. Before it sank attempts were made to launch two lifeboats. Waves smashed them. I could see several Islands, also a lighthouse a half mile away. All Saturday and Saturday night we remained on our part of the ship, mostly lying on the deck. Saturday night two ships failed to respond to our flares. Plenty of ninmly We opened cans of salmon or milk, or ate candy bnrs. Rain was our only drinking water but we had plenty of brandy. Chief Engineer F. J. Clayton sang for us with a Scottish burr. We Join ed him but were silenced when extra big waves crashed aboard the wreck. Later we sang again. We never were in panic, and as far as I know, nobody prayed. Sunday Captain H. A. Lennard reached the rock twelve feet away on a cargo boom. Later the breeches buoy was rigged up and we all went to the rock which was about thirty feet long. We stayed In small tents made from tarpaulins. Sometimes we were doused with spray and rain. Ship Stglits Wreck Sunday night two ships again fail ed to respond to our flares. Early Monday an interlsland motor ship, the Governor Taft. turned her searchlights on the wreck. We cheer ed wildly. Soon afterwards the Japan ese freighter Chicago Maru arrived. Tuesday morning when the des troyer Peary arrived, there were six ships hanging around but all failed repeatedly to get boats or a line to us. When a big wave broke over the rock Tuesday, the captain decided we had better return to the wreckage. Then the crew started building rafts rrom the lumber in the dcckload. One raft broke away Tuesday night. Three Lascar seamen Jumped Into the water, swam to It and climb ed aboard. When the raft carried them towards the ships Instead of toward the high cliffs of San Bernar dino Island on which the lighthouse was situated, we were encouraged. We decided to try to escape by rafts Wed nesday morning. Raft Breaks Loose Sixteen officers and Third Officer Smith went first. Thirty one others were preparing to leave when the raft broke looso and the officers shouted for everybody to go over. , We Jumped about twenty feet Into the water. Nine swam to the raft and the rest got hold of planks. George reached the raft and I clung to a plank. I never could have made It If Sea men o. Harding and H. A. Matthew son and Boatswain Mate- ponder had not helped me. I was In the water about 25 minutes and was unconsci ous at the end.

( CP) Migra tion of tourists and unemploed to California has Increased so much during the past several months that authorities are undecided whether the heavy flow Is the result of re turning prosperity or Just further evidence that people would rather starve in sunshine than in snow. State officials in the department of motor vehicles Insist It is a sign of Improved conditions. While a year ago they blamed the Increase on Up ton Sinclair. Epic-Democratic candi date for governor, because of the publicity given his "production for use' plan to relieve unemployment, this year they labeled it "a prosper ous tourist crop." Non-resident permits were issued for 111.843 vehicles during the first eight months of this year, compared with only 61,444 during the corres- i ponding period of 1034, when "hordes of unemployed" were supposed to be pouring into the stole In answer to Sinclair's promise to end poverty. During the entire 12 months of 1934, only 98,256 permits were Is sued. July was the heaviest tourist month this year, 23.661 visiting cars being registered then. There were 22.793 In August, 20.659 in June, 11,019 in May. Every state in the nation, 14 for eign countries and four American territories were represented, automo mlles coming here from Canada, Mex ico, England, China, Cuba, Dutch West Indies, France, Germany, In dia. Palestine Puerto Rico, Salvador and Bahamas. Arizona led all states, with 13.550. Other heavy contributors were Ore gon. Washington. Texas, Nevada, Col orado, Illinois, Utah, New York and Oklahoma.

Cal. (UP) The girl of 1855 had a lot more fun and a lot better chance of happiness than her granddaughter has, believes Mrs. Sophie Davis. And Mrs. Davis didn't get her the ory by reading. She got It by experi ence, for she was a girl in 18i5. Recently she celebrated her 101st birthday. She Is a little disgusted with the modern girl, who "swills gin and sucks on clgarets." "It's not her duty to gallivant around." Mrs. Davis says. "A girl's duty is to make an advantageous marriage and raise children." Automobiles? They're the buni believes. "It's on their account that every one's In a lethal hurry." Mrs. Davis declares. "In my day we saw a little country, but really saw it. Today you try to see a lot, and fall."
