REVIKW OF THE YEAR
Tomorrow J another year, and
now la the time to take an in
ventory of the one that la dicing
and took Its time about it. Few
regret the passing of 1935. All re
joice at the coming of 1936, enabl
ing them to face the future, wun
a, new calendar. In the same old
rut. On the whole. In these part.
1936 brought more of merrymaking
than mud-throwing: more of hap
piness than hatred. The prospects
for 1D38 appear rosy next year al
ways does.
. The following Is a summary of
the outstanding events of 1936:
The crops were bountiful, with
4he exception of the crop of ru
mors. There was not a rumor worth
repeating. In the 13 months. The
community was weaned from believ
ing them. There was no scandal.
This was due to the people either
behaving themselves, or not getting
caught. Close to 2100 cara of pears
and apples found their way to east
ern and foreign market. Otto Boh
nert of Central Point went to work
and planted a lot of potatoes. For
many years It was felt the soil of
the Rogue River valley waa not
adapted to spud culture unless they
were plnnted. The. pig crop netted
the raisers a good profit. Several
cashed In for those they did not
raise.
The secretary of the CofC. became
the bouncing father of a proud boy.
in the late summer. The father
starts the New Year with both feat
on the ground again, and Is him
self. The Stork flitted elsewhere over
the city and valley.
, There was the usual amount of
annual talk about building a rail
road to the coast. This promises to
be a live topic again this year. A
road was built to the top of Roxy
Ann, if anybody cares to go there.
Many of the business and residential
thoroughfares could stand some
tinkering by a CCO detachment. The
Main Stem lamp posts are vener
able antiques, but their age keeps
them from looking like the dickens.
John Mann fixed up his store no
end and C. Strang removed the bay
window from hla edifice. There waa
something of a building rennalsance.
O. Iverson, a carpenter, was so busy
he only had time to write a cou
ple hundred letters to the editor on
the taxes.
The financial situation waa shuf
fled up, ana two banks became
Medford branches of Portland fidu
ciary depositaries. More money was
spent for new autos and taxes than
in five years. The hen-house was
largely discarded as a place to hide
the family bankroll. The "chain
letter" crn? kept the postofflce
clerks on the Jump for two days,
before It subsided, and regular busi
ness was resumed. The slot-machines
have been over-worked since.
J. Frank Wortman of Phoenix and .
Pop Gates bobbed up on December
aa, with 43 years of married life
behind them. Some of the happy
couples setting sail upon the sen
of matrimony, actually waited 43
days before filing divorce proceed
ings. It la alleged. During the year

torture, wan inflicted the minimum

The bicycle rame bnrk aa a means
of getting some place, and Is very
popular among the Juveniles. The
Older Olrla for a time used them
as a. means of combatting fat. but

Farewell
WELL, all in all, 1935 did a good job of it. In every direc
tion, the old gentleman now departing, did better than
any of his recent predecessors.
Business started out better, and improvement was consist
ently sustained. Although the unemployment problem was not
solved by any means, there are at least a million more men
and women with jobs today than was the case a year ago.
There is more money in the country, and more money is
being spent. Several industrial concerns established new high
records since 1932 some exceeded even the boom year of
1929.
There is still room for much improvement, of course. But
1935 marked material progress and all in the right direction.
The farmers are far better off, than at any time since the de
pression. So are the merchants and the professional men. So
is practically everyone.
For which let us all be duly thankful and as the old
gentleman totters over the abyss to his final resting place,
let us give him a hand.
Most experts predict 1936 will do even better they place
the improvement from 15 to 20.
With a presidential campaign certain in this country, and
peace either in Europe or the Far East doubtful; this paper
at least will be entirely satisfied, if this blushing and gurlin?
infant of 1936 does as well.

Mr. Roosevelt.
The sincerity behind business pre
dictions this New Year ls more or
less apparent.
Men whose Judgment Is best are
forecasting a 1030 level of Industrial
production 10 to 20 per cent above
this year. They base this prediction
primarily on an expectation of a 50
per cent Increase In residential build
ing construction. This will really ab
sorb some, but not all, unemploy
ment.
These authoritative predictions are
being made in the face of wide un
certainties. The continuing accumu
lation of gold here Is convincing econ
omists that another medium of In
ternational monetary exchange may
prove to be necessary within the year.
War excitement Is prevalent In Eu
rope and the far east. The congress Is
meeting. An unusually hot campaign
Is In prospect. A presidential election
will take place, the outcome of
which Is In doubt.
When you see rosy business prophe
cies In the face of such uncertainties,
It Is a good Indication of the Inherent
strength behind the current recovery
movement.
There was aome inner excitement

A private Investigation Is under

someone near, but not In, the White
House. The conclusion was reached
that Lindbergh could have chosen a
far less conspicuous way to grt away
from threats and annoyances If that
was his only purpose.
The ordinary way would have been
to have his air line transfer him
quietly to Engirt nd to promote its
forthcoming trans-Atlantic service!

These pointed suppositions are all
correct, but they point in the wrong
direction, say the Lindbergh friends
here. The colonel, they maintain, ls
really a valuable technical adviser for
his employers nnd not Just a promo

personal, like the published ones. The
effect of the cruel tragedy to their
first-born was very deep. Subsequent

LONDON (UP) In the top of a
fig tree In the heart of the Jungle In
Kenya is the queerest and the most
expensive bedroom In the world.
Prom It, lying In bed. a person can
see rhinoceroses and elephants drink
ing, leopards, rebras, hyenas, monk
eys, and a score of other varieties of
animals drinking, quarreling, and
making friends.
Lady Bettie Wallaer. who first con
ceived the idea, described some of the
thrills and adventures which have be
fntlen those who have slept In the
tree-top room, during a visit tc Lon
don. "We charge $50 for a single per
son for one night." she aald. "No
where else in the world can you watch
game In its absolutely natural state."
The bedrooms there as two as well
as dressing room are concealed so
that the animals no not know they
are being wntcned They come In the
early evening to drink at the nearby
pool, go away, and return in the
morning for another drink before
hiding themselves for sleep during
the day.
No talking or smoking la aliened
In the rooms, so as not to frighten
the animals, and there Is a rule that
half the price ls returned of no rhin
oceroses or elephants are seen. So rar
this has only occurred once, when a
man Insisted on talking all through
the night, and scared the game away.
"It Is common to see 26 elephants
at a time, and as many rhinos," aald
Lady Brttle. "but never together, be
cause elephants and rhinos never
make friends. Rhinos make queer
snorting noises as they drink and
eat. The most regular turn In the
bush Is 'Belinda.' a great female
rhinoceros, who cornea out every
nlRht. She has had two babies since
we hme known her. and she will not
move without them."

and
exudation on

Such an Injury is
called "Charley horse." A charleyhorse
usually makes a visible lump, or
one which can be felt, and this
takes a month or more to disap

the muscle which may Impair its
full elasticity permanently.
Runners and Jumpers fear "pull

ture or tear of the muscles at Junc
tion of muscle and tendon. Ball
players, especially pitchers, have to
prepare the deltoid and the scapu
lar or shoulder-taladti muscles care
fully to prevent the occurrence or
a similar rupture or tear In shoulder
or arm. called "glass arm."
The preparation to prevent such
Injuries ls commonly called "warm

danger of rupture or tear of muscle
fibre is of course greatest when the
muscle ls suddenly strained when

years ago.
