Gym And Storage Room
Destroyed In Saturday
Blaze Garage Burns,
Fire of undetermined origin y enter,
day afternoon destroyed the grains
ium, woodshed and storage room of
St. Mary's Academy on South Holly
atrcet between Uth and 12 streets.
The home of Sheriff Syd I, Brown
across the street at 504 South Holly
street was threatened when burning
cinders lit on the roof. A hoae line,
however, had already been run to the
roof and the cinders were put out ae
they tell.
The firemen, assisted by 14 trained
volunteers who answered the general
alarm, put up & stiff battle to keep
the flart s from the school Itself.
They were aided by a favorable wind
which was blowing away from the
academy.
Damage was estimated at well over
1.000. The loss was covered by Insur
ance, ,
Apparently, Chief Roy Elliott
said, the fire started 1 nthe storeroom
and woodshed. When the alarm was
sounded at 2 o'clock; the flames had
Jumped across an alley to the gym
nasium and both buildings were
burning fiercely when the firemen ar
rived. It took an hour and a half to
put the fire out. An electric light pole
at the curb was badly charred by the
searing flames. .
Electricians from the California
Oregon Power company were on the
scene to cut all wires so as to avert
death by electrocution and the com
pany was commended for Ite coopera
tion by Chief Elliott.
There was no electric wiring In the
woodshed and storage room and so a
short circuit could not have started
the blaze, Chief Elliott said. He re
lated that rubbish had been burned
In a metal barrel near the building
In the morning and doubted whether
parks from It could have started the
fire.
Sister Superior of the academy said
he had no idea what started the
blase. She stated she had been un
able as yet to calculate the actual
damage and added that rebuilding
Plana would not be considered for
several days. She pralaed the firemen
for their work In saving the soccl.
A large crowd gathered to witness
the fire. The two buildings were
frame structures.
It was the third serious fire of the
week, the first general alarm blaze of
the year.
Garage Burns
Fire destroyed a private garage and
an automobile and damaged two
houses late Friday afternoon. Quick
action by the fire department saved
the dwellings. Chief Elliott sold the
fire was probably caused by a short
circuit in an automobile parked In
the garage.
The fire started In the stucco gar
age In the rear of the house at 116
Willamette avenue. The dwelling la
owned by the Northwestern company
of Portland and occupied by Mr, and
Mra. Robert D. Herrlott. Mr. Herrlott
was at home asleep at the time. He
had parked the car In the garage
about noon.
The automobile was completely
ruined and the garage gutted. The ste
aling flames leaped to the Herrlott
house and burned part of the roof
and window trim.
Damage to the house and garage
waa estimated from 250 to M80 by
W. E- Thomas, Med ford representative
of the Northwestern company. He said
the loss was fully covered by Insur
ance. The fire Jumped to the adjacent
house at 113 Willamette avenue, own
ed and occupied by Ernest W. Winkle.
The upper part of the southeast cor
ner was burned, the flames burning
through a window and damaging the
Inside of one room. The darting was
estimated by Mr, Winkle at 300. The
toss, he said, was fully clvered by in
surance. It was the second time the
Winkle home had been damaged by
fire.
The precinct alarm was sounded at
ft:30 and the recall at 4:10.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. (AP)-
The Bureau of Fisheries bobbed up
today with something definite on the
old and baffling question of how to
tell a gentleman goldfish from a lady
goldfish.
The tentative key to the mystery
hss been supplied by Wallace A. Lit
tle, of Richmond Heights, Missouri,
and partly aubatsntlsted by Edwin
, Perkins, the Baltimore fish author.
Mr. Little's theory as submitted
to the bureau Is simple, but so was
Columbus' egg trlok. '
The formula:
"Male the gills will be flat:
"Female the gills will be notice
ably round."

At this time last year, I sold my store and entire stock to
Mr. Ben Lambert of Yakima, Washington due to' the fact that
I was called east on business for an indefinite stay. Papers
were signed and, on December 27th, I left for the east on a
trip which lasted seven months. Business conditions made it
necessary for Mr. Lambert to relinquish the store, so Mr. J. W.
8hirley, veteran Medford furniture man, assumed management
In my absence. After a trip which took me to 26 states; a
distance of 19,000 miles, I have again become active in Medford
business circles. I sincerely welcome this as my extended trip
eonvinced me that Medford is the place to live ... my confidence
in this city and its future is greater than ever as evidenced by
the fact that I am opening a finer store in a brand new location-
317 East Main street. Due to the fact that space in my new
store will be restricted, I must reduce my present fine stock
AT ONCE . . . Moving expense will be eliminated by this
disposal which means that MY CUSTOMERS WILL BENEFIT
by AMAZINGLY LOW REMOVAL SALE PRICES . . . New
furniture, arriving NOW, will be included in this sale I As
another evidence of my confidence in this community, I am
' offering CONVENIENT TERMS to sale customers ... I urge
