PAGE TEN 3IEDF0RD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKD, OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1935. VALENTINE PARTY T( 6cors of southern Oregon residents have already made reservations for the opening party tomorrow night at Jimmy Valentine's attractive banquet loom which has been artistically dec orated and furnished at an expense of more than 5300. The new addi tion Joins Valentine's cafe, one of Medford'a most popular places to dine since 1928. and altogether the resting capacity Is now 265. Valentine's banquet room Is effec tively lighted by modernistic over head fixtures and at the front win dows are tile drapes to match those which separate the smaller private division at the rear of the room. Screens carrying out a color scheme of tile and buff have been placed be tween the mahogany tables. The floor Is covered with mottled Inlaid lino leum In harmonizing shades, and may be used for dancing. There are nine small tables and four large ones be sides a number of tables at the rear. ' All fixtures In Valentine's smart dining room are made of Philippine mahogany and particularly Interest ing wall decorations combining rich mahogany and chromium metal mold ing lend an ultra-modern effect. Ed Trowbridge, of the Trowbridge Cabi net Works, personally designed the walls and the mahogany furniture, all of which was made by hit firm In Modford. Three years ago Jimmy Valentine remodeled hla cafe on South River side which had formerly been known as the Club and at that time changed the name to Valentine's. With the opening of the new banquet room Saturday Valentine's will now be one of the most up-to-date and largest dining places In this part of the state. The kitchen has been completely ren ovated and considerable new equip ment Installed. ' Banquets, private parties, afternoon bridges and teas and dinner dances may be given at Valentine's and ladles- clubs will be catered to, accord ing to Mr. Valentine. Ye Poet's Cornei Rnhrt Ford Roberts had a little Ford, Its body . made of tin, ' And everwhere that Roberta went, the Ford carried him.. A yard of tin. a foot of steel, a funny looking steering wheel. And the only thing that made It go was Its ready will. Two pals they were together aa they roamed the countryside, Belling land and houses, an excuse to take a ride. Well, the years rolled Into many, but the little Ford was true; A drink of gas waa all It aaked be sides a tire or two; So all went well till one cold nlgbt, when the moon waa hanging low. That this little Ford of early make met Its terrible foe. Well, the llghta blinked out . and Roberts, too, And the little Ford's days on earth are through. But fat was kind and saved Roberts' skin, Although thst waan't what bothered him. So the chapter la ended and tell you 1 must, That the little tin Ford la covered with dust. And alone In the rain It stands, Awaiting the touch of Its master's hand, To guide It from the drifting aand. B. F. Hamaker. Oregon Air Ace LIl II ii TEX RANKIN John O.

(AP) SIT Norman Angell, recipient of the No bel peace prize, today asserted a breakdown In League of Nations peace machinery In the Italy-Ethiopian war would "be a triumph for European Imperialisms." . In New York on a lecture tour. the lecturer and author In an Inter view emphasized what he termed the "point that has been lost sight of In all the talk of the past few weeks that the so-called 'leftists' have been the real support of the League peace movement, fortified by sanctions." Success of the current France- British peace plan, he added, would be tantamount to success for Im perialism, since It apparently calls for dismemberment of Ethiopia.

Fields, stage and screen comedian and years-long friend of RogerB. She never advised blnv more wisely than when she told him that his ability to talk on topics of the day should be utilized in his stage rou tine. Fields tells the story: "Rogers was playing on the Am sterdam Roof with considerable suc cess. It was practically the same aud ience night after night. Rogers did At Klamath P A U LiL AND R.Y Paul Landry Is an Insurance detjer at Klamath Falls. a set routine but he discovered that the people wouldn't laugh at the same gags every night and what waa known as a 'wow the first few nights became barely a titter after the sec ond or third week. "He talked the situation over with the most wonderful woman X have ever known in my life hla dear wife Betty. He must get new gags and where waa he to get them from? Betty's sage counsel waa to read the newspapers and talk of the topics of the day. That gave Rogers the Im petus to his great fame and success." OLD INSTRUMENTS USED BY CHEMIST BEE PARIS. (UP) Something unique In scientific museums, which may go on exhibit at the Paris exposition of 1837, has been turned up at the cha teau of La Champfortlere, in the de partment of the Sarthe. It Is the complete collection of in struments used by Lavoisier, father of modern antiphlogistic chemistry. which many persons thought had been destroyed in the French revolu tion In which Lavoisier was guillo tined because, In hla zeal to earn money enough to enable him to con duct his experiments, he had accept ed the unpopular job of tax collector. A few students knew that Lavoi sier's Instruments had not been de stroyed in the revolution. They knew that when Dumas published the com plet edition of Lavoisier's works In 1864 he was able to examine the great chemist's Instruments. They knew that the apparatus, for making water synthetically by mixing hydro gen and oxygen and the calorimeter in the conservatory of arts and trades came from that collection, but no one knew where it was. Maurice d'Ocagne, geometrist and member of the Academy of Sciences, found the Lavoisier collection by ac-1 cldent in the chateau of Mme.

It may be seen there now, carefully arrang ed and ticketed, together with the scientist's library. Among the Instruments are several beautifully made scales, on which Lavol&ler, first of all scientists to submit his findings to the uncompro mising test of mathematics, based hla work. It waa their precision that enabled him to enunciate the prin ciple that "nothing Is ever lost, noth ing la ever created Modern science makes no more accurate balances. There la a kilogram, a measure which Lavoisier used, equaling the weight of the cubic decimeter of water, before the kilogram had a le gal existence. It antedates the stan dard kilogram kept by the depart ment of weights and measures. There Is hla meter-long thermometer which measures temperatures to one-hun-dreth of a Centigrade degree. There are his pumps, static electric ma chines, barometers, calorimeters, hy Irometers and a decimal sys tem watch. An instrument that looks like & gaa mask waa used by htm to determine and study the products of respiration. Some objects of the original col lection have been scattered. There Is, for Instance, the portrait by Da vid of Lavoisier and his wife, now In the Rockefeller collection. WHEEL GOODS Everrtht n e that rolls at prices that will surprise you. Slma Bros.. 33 N. Fir. . , VAULT 10 DEFY T BY LONDON. (UP) First bank safe ever made with a guarantee against "civil insurrection" has been con structed by a British firm for a "for ego central bank." In other words, It Is said a coun try's gold reserve, locked In this vault, can be kept forever out of the hands of any faction, Left or Right, which happens to seize the country. The new safe Is a nine-days' won der In the financial district. Most of the safe has been dispatch ed to Its destination, but the door Is being exhibited for nine days In the firm's window, where it attracta an awestruck crowd of observers block ing up the sidewalk and part of the narrow city street. This door is 8 feet In diameter and 34 Inches thick, and fits into ite plaee, it la stated, to one-thousandth of an inch, which shuta out fire or flood complete. In addition. It la made of a secret steel so hard that the the British Oxygen compsny. us ing a lance oxygen flame burning at 3,700 degTeea Centrlgrade sufficient to cut the hardest armor plate In a few seconds was unable after a week of continuous work to bore more than Vi Inches. What Is more, after per sisting for weeks it reached 3H Indies and here, it is said, It came to a dead stop. No further impression could be made on It. Second, while the door can be opened by the proper officials in the usual elaborate way, In the event of war civil or otherwise It can be' made quickly unopenable by these devices; In this stage It can only be opened with the assistance of a sort of "key" which, for safekeeping, can be kept in some other bank or even outside the country. Tests' Announced For Civil Service Civil service examinations were an nounced today for awning maker, na tional park service; senior animal husbandman, bureau of animal in dustry; social worker and Junior so cial worker, veteran' administration: senior chemist, alcohol tax unit; and welding engineer, navy department.
