JEROME TO PLAN
TO
When the Elks' grand lodge pa
rade U atagsd In Los Angeles July
16, during the 72nd Elka' national
convention, the B. P. O. E. band of
Medford will be In the line ol
march. If plans of Medford lodge
to flnsnce the trip are successful.
To E. C. (Jerry) Jerome has been
allotted the task of arranging de
tails for the band to accompany the
southern Oregon delegation south,
and to see that funds are available
to defray expense of the trip.
Participation In plans for the
Elks' band' to attend the national
convention is not confined to lodge
members, Mr. Jerome pointed out,
but Is a matter of civic Interest.
"The band is proud of Its record,
end Justly so," said Mr. Jerome.
"Organized as the Elks' band In
1937. these musicians have func
tioned as a unit since that time,
and have given freely of their time
and ability In participating In
events of interest to all southern
Oregon.
"Featured prominently In exercises
commemorating Armistice day, Memo
rial day, and celebrations sponsored
by various civic and patriotic or
ganlratlona in the past, the band
has recorded a 100 per cent response
In practically every Instance.
"Concerts In the city park, so
enjoyed by the public," Mr. Jerome
continued, "have been staged by
the bend without charge."
He also pointed out that such
events are usually paid for by city
governments, and the proceeds used
by the musicians for uniforms, music
and other expenses Incurred by the
organization. But when the Medford
exchequer fell below normal during
depression years, and the practice
of payment for concert waa dis
continued, the band continued to
entertain the public with no thought
of reward.
Fifteen members out of the 30
now in the Medford Elks' band turn
ed out for the first practice In 1827.
It is hoped to add five musicians to
the roster, bringing the band mem
bership to 35 before opening day of
the convention.
The Los Angeles convention will
not be the first nstional conven
tion attended by the band. Through
the co-operation of local people and
their own efforts, the band attended
the national convention In Seattle
during July. 1931. winning second
prize in their classification In com
petition with bands from all over
the United States.
Efforts at financing the project
will be given a decided boost by the
Elks' Frolic and Days Of pariy,
to be staged in the Elks' temple Sat
urday night, April 18. The public Is

SEEN BY DOCTOR
AS UNFIT THRIVE
CHICAGO (OP) Dr. Charles B.
Reed, Northwestern University ob
stetrics professor, psintlng a picture
of deteriorating mankind, bluntly as
serts that all unfit women should be
sterilised.
Otherwise, he says, the human race
will become extinct because present-
day mothers are bearing children who
"can't take It." Blunt and unhesi
tating. Dr. Reed warns of the dan
gers of too much "soft living."
The human race Is degenerating,
be declarea.
How far will It degenerate? To ex
tinction unless a holocaust wipes it
out first.
He explains It ts a process of evo
lution. The burhsn race is not as
healthy and strong as It used to be.
"The mothers say they don't want
their children to have as tough a time
as they did, and they do everything
to make life comfortable for them.
"The daughters are pampered, and
petted. They don't get enough sun
shine or exercise. They can't take It
the way their grandmothers did."
Reed explains that nature custom
arily eliminates the unfit.
Yeara ago. physically unfit women
died in childbirth, and so did their
progeny. Todsy, they go to hospitals
where trained dootors save them.
Thus the unfit survive despite na
ture. Their defects are handed down.
These are the women Dr. Reed be
lieves should be sterilized.
"They are the ones who bear most
of the children," he said. The others,
the intellectual, careful, hygienic wo
manthe ones who should bear the
children, don't do It.
"You can't protect the world against
fools." he says, angrily.
"Most of the subnormal women
should be sterilized. But they won't.
The human race is like a pack of ani
mals. "You can't depend on them to use
contraaeptlvea, either. You can ad
vise them If you want to, but you
can't prevent the wrong people from
having children."
He related the case of a woman
whose husbsnd earned 35 a week.
When ahe bore her 13th child, and
was released from the hospital, Dr.
Reed advised her to return In three
weeks and be sterilized.
When she did come back, It was to
have her 13th child.
Explaining evolution. Reed scoff6
at the Idea that a more Intellectual
race would have bigger heada. And If
the people of the future have no ap
pendices, It would be for the same
reason as now surgical operation.
They can keep their teeth In spite of
soft foods, he believes, by proper diets.
"But if they go on riding around In
automobiles, Instead of getting the
exercise they need, some day -people
won't have any legs," he warns, or
If they do have legs, there won't be
any muscles In them."

Girl Uses Ancient Irons
To Defeat Golf Champ
Katheryn Hemphill
COLUMBIA. 8. C. lyP Katheryn
Hemphill, whe does pretty well with
a set of out-model clubs, thinks she
might break Into the upper bracket
of feminine golf with a kit of mod

National Champion Olenna Collett
Vare In southern tournament play it
was the first competition In which
she ever used a driver for tee shots.
MI think I'd do a lot better," she
declares, "with modern clubs."
The obsolete Irons she now has were
made before the style In golf balls
changed. They supplement a new set
of woods given her last Christmas.
, Driver Adds So Vardi
When she began using a regulation
driver Instead of her brassle for tee
shots this year, her driving average
Jumped about 30 yards and waa a big
i actor in ner victory over Mrs. Vare
at Bellairo. Fla.. March 13.
With the Christmas-gift "big-stick"
she out-drove everyone except Babe
Didrickson, the long-range gunner of
women's golf, in exhibition play. -
itatheryn's guiding light, eider
brother Mehin Hemphill, says she is
both "a natural-born competitor and
a natural-born golfer."
From the time she first strayed out
on the links with only one club In
IB30, her temperament and mechani
cal control have swept her through
tournaments. Her first Instinct after
learning to keep her eye cn the ball
was an attempt to knock It farther
than any other woman In sight.
The tutelage of brother Melvin,
then professional et the Rldgewood
club and now In a similar position at
Forest Lake, enabled her to launch a
competitive career almost immediate
ly.
She entered the Rldgewood wo
men's tourney six weeks after her
first lesson. After swinging into the
finals with booming brassie tee shots
that offset unpolished play around
the greens. Bhe was defeated by Mrs.
J. E. Tlmberlake. who had been club
champion three seasons.
A Weekend Golfer
That remarkable start sent her on
a tournament campaign and she won
events up and down the Carol! nas.
Last May 11 she won the Carolina'
women's title at Greenville, 8. C. She
beat the women's course record here
so consistently that local tournaments
were abandoned because of a lack of
contenders to compete with her.
Working as an office clerk, she does
little week-day golfing, but she plays
36 holes every Sunday to keep In prac
tice. She heeded brother Melvln'a ad-
vtffl that beginners should not take
up a driver until their other play has
matured. Proving she had arrived she
put together three shots for a total
of 583 yards In a recent driving com
petition at Ormond Beach. Fla.
Katheryn looks forward to a busy
spring and summer of competitive
golf and she'll try to lift Mrs. Vare "a
national crown this year. ''
