LADY LIONS
DEFENDS HER ACCUSED KIDNAPER
No poor child in Jackson county is
doing to m'.M the thrill of receiving
Christmas toys If th ladles' auxiliary
of the Medford Lions club can help
In cooperation with th fire depart
ment, members of the Lions auxiliary
have been working diligently and
conscientiously for weeks In gather
ing new and used toys for distribu
tion among needy children. So faith
fully has the work been done that
this year's assortment of playthings

of the past five or six years In which
the women have been performing this
charitable service. But still mote toys.
needed. It was stated
today, as the auxiliary wants to make
this a banner year for the needy cnu-
Hrnn
The second-hand toys are recondi
tioned and rebuilt at the fire hall
and when the firemen complete their
Job the playthings are good as new.
Thev don't Just patch up the worn
toys, members of the auxiliary point
ed out; they really build new ones.
They take two old express wagons, for
example, and make one good one out
of them. The reconditioned and re
built playthings are then painted up
in appropriate colors so that no one
could tell they were not brand new.
The firemen have also provided new
toys. All this is done with the money
raised by the annual firemen's ball.
The members of the Lions auxil
iary also have bought new toys, dig
ging generously into their own purses
to do so. it was learned today. Just
the other day, for example, they
bough 150 doyys In one purchase.
The auxiliary obtains lists of needy
r-...nia fmm various sources and to
each Is sent a postal card inviting the
parents to call for toys, xnese cams
have alrendy been mailed and toys

ner office of the Hotel Holland and
the Helmroth building next to the

So that no deserving children will
be overlooked, the auxiliary asks that

ESSEX. Eng. (UP) After nearly 40
rears of legendary wanderings among
the Arab tribes of northern Africa.
Abdul Fady has put away his fes and
settled down in the quiet English
countryside as Just plain Mr. Arthur
Upson.
It was 38 years ago that Upson. Im
bued with the challenge of spreading
Christianity among the nomadic
tribes of the desert, left Essex for
Africa.
Stone deaf and feeling strange in
the surroundings of his birthplace,
Upson's self-imposed exile made him
one of the world's best Arabic schol
ars. For years he neither heard nor
spoke the English language.
Because of his deafness and long
asoclatlon with the Arabs he speaks
English with a marked accent as he
tells of the colorful wanderings of
Abdul Fady missionary, founder of
the Nile Mission Press, friend of the
close-lipped Arabs.
He carries a pad and pencil with
him and explains that his deafness
has been a blessing.
"I have been told," he said, "that
some of tne vituperations pourcu
upon me during my career as a mis
sionary would have been enough to
put any man to flight. But I couian i
hear a word so I stayed where I was."
He was asked whether he had any
physical dangers in Arabia.
Never," he replied scornfully. "As
cats know when people like them and
babies recognize their friends so the
Arab always Instinctively knew I was
his friend.
"You know, an Arab never attacks
an unarmed man and I never carried
a gun."
But Abdul Fady or Arthur Upson
had adventures aplenty.
He crossed the Gobi desert years
ago, one of the first Europeans to ac
complish the torturous feat, and la a
little contemptuous of persons who
claim notoriety by doing it In these
days.
His story of the creation of the Nile
Mission Press was a strange one.
"Sn my missionary work I distri
buted pamphlets In Arabic and one
night an Arab came to me and point
ed out three grammatical errors in
the text of my sermon," he related
"That night I sat down and dlscov-

-So I started the Nile Mission
Press. At first I wrote my own

Everything Upnon wrote was In
Arabic and he claims 700 books to
his credit.

years among the Arabs I wore a fez,

Arab's outlook, rarely talked anything

Huge Pueblo Ruin
Found In Arizona
CASA GRANDE, Ariz., Dec. 20. fP)
Discovery of a large pueblo ruin, in a
good state of preservation and ex
tending several hundred feet along
a cliff on the "shelve" above here,
was reported today by G. B. Glre, fed

PHILADELPHIA UPt Economic
depressions were common a century
before the machine age. according
to a survey of prices In colonial j
Pennsylvania conducted by the in-;
dudtrial research department of the
University of Pennsylvania.
The city of Philadelphia exper
ienced 10 distinct business depres
sions during the period from 172u
to 1775, the study reveals.
The survey is the first of a aeries
through which the department seeks
to throw additional light on colonial
economic history through the use
of statistical methods employed In
Mudtes of modern business.
Dr. Anne Bezanson. co-director
of the department, said there were
many industries established in Phil
adelphia long before the American
revolution which supplied not only
the needs of the residents of Penn
sylvania, but often produced a sur
plus for export to other colonies.
"As early as 1720, the trsde of
Philadelphia Involved the export ol
flour, wheat, bread, corn, pork, beer
and staves," Dr. Bezanson said.
"Imports of the city included ,
molasses, muscovado or raw sugar,
and rum from the West Indies, to
bacco from Maryland and Virginia,
rice and naval stores from the Caro
linas, wine from Madiera, coarse
salt from Portugal, and fine salt
from England."
Early records used In the survey
revealed that all these commodities
were subject to price fluctuations
much the same as those which oc
cur today, but there is no evidence
that the colonial merchants sought
to Interpret these changes In terms
of business cycles.
"To them, every change In busi
ness conditions Including the 10
separate and distinct periods of de
pression noted between 1720 and
1775 was directly attributable to
some specific factor such as war.
weather conditions, the slae ol
crops, immigration and 'scarce
money'." Dr. Bpnzanson said.
