He refused to give them any and they beat him unmercifully, kicking him and pounding him on the head and In the face. While one held his head another threatened to cut hla throat with a pocket knlfo, and Inflicted a gash on his neck. They stuffed his mouth with sand In trying to force him into giving them money, and fled only when Mrs. Berang's cries for help alarmed them. They then proceeded south on the highway about 250 feet to the Hlway Market, owned by Max Burran and with several customers besides the owner Inside. They held up Burran and Donald Anderson, and other cus tomers, at the point of a nickel plat ed .38 calibre revolver, and as near as could be judged took about 915. While they were In the market James O. Reynolds, 10, drove up for gas In a Ford pickup. They forced Reynolds out of the car and drove away at a rapid pace. Court and police records show that they headed north on the Pacific highway, swung west over the Voor hles crossing, and then abandoned the car in some timber west of Phoe nix. From there they walked to the Newbry packing plant on tho edge of Phoenix, and telephoned for a Medford taxlcab. In this cab they were driven to 'Ashland, and boarded a southbound bus there. ' The cab driver notified police of the peculiar actions of tho two, and the California authorities were noti fied. At 8:18 Saturday morning they were taken off the bus at Redding by Chief of Police Mickey Riley and Officer McDsnlels. At first, according to police, they denied complicity In tho boating and robberies, but, later admitted their part In the Phoenix affairs and waived extradition. Captain Lee M. Bown of the state police and Sheriff Sid I. Brown left by auto yesterday evening to return them here. The four victims. Berrang. Burran, Anderson and Reynolds sign ed four separate complaints on felony charges of assault and robbery while armed with a dangerous weapon Medford, Grants Pass and Ashland city police, state police and sheriff officers assisted In the hunt, and cooperated In the quick capture of the two youthful bandits. The records of Marshall and Faughty are being Investigated In connection with robberies committed under almost Identical circumstances in Tlgard, Portland and Eugene In the past few days. Tho aged Phoenix man, Berrang, will be remembered for hi. long trans-continental trek In a covered wagon from Maine to Phoenix a few years ago, when he and hla wlfo re traced the atops of .the pioneers be hind a team of oxen and an old white horse. For yoars after hla arrival here his oxen were the objects of much Interest to children from all parts or the valley, and school classes were taken to his little farm to see both the animals and the yoke under which they had worked.

William Hrady, W& El Camlno, .THE LESS SUNSHINE The most recent Investigation of the problem of preventing rickets in dicates that an Infant at the age of a month . should receive dally for a year, from 1000 to 3000 units of vitamin D. That r o p r e s ents much vitamin D as Is present In from one to two tablespoonfuls of cod liver oil. Clearly no young baby could take so much cod liv er oil. In the past doctors have compromised or rather gauged the dosage by guesswork, giving the young Infant perhaps one-half tea- spoonful dally and after a month or two Increasing to a teaspoonful or sometimes two tesspotnfuls dally. That waa helpful, possibly quite suf. ncicnt to prevent rickets In some ctscs especially when the baby hap. pened to nave his place In the sun and enough of the few natural foods which contain vitamin D milk, cream, butter, egg yolk. But experi ence proves that the old standard dosage was too low, and experience further proves that the dose of 3000 units dally , approaches the' optimal and does effectually prever.t rickets. Physicians today are taking advan tage of modern science 'and prescrib ing synthetic vitamin D, made by Irradiating food substances called ergOBtorol, with ultraviolet light of certain accurately determined wave length. The product Is called vlos terol and Is available under various trade names, there being no differ ence between the various brands, unit for unit, except price to the consumer. ' Ono drop of such synthetic vita min D (It comes In liquid solution) contalna nearly or quite as much vitamin D as a teaspoonful of the best cod liver oil that la, from 250 to 300 units. So that ten to fifteen drops constitutes an optimal ration of vitamin D for the growing Infant. Adults with chronic arthritis are now treated, with much success, with dally dosea of from 200.000 to 400,000 units of vitamin D In this same form. No one knows Just how much vita min D ordinary folk require to keep them at their highest level of health and efriclency. We do know that people who, thru environment or necessity do not en Joy sufficient exposure to sunlight havo a correspondingly low produc tion of vitamin D. and they particu larly need the addition of vitamin D to their diet. Especially people living lh Industrial towns where the atmo sphore Is generally full of smoke. ifriiiTfriii1 lAileM News Behind the News (Continued from Page One.) 1939 average .... 1932 average .. 1933 average 1034 average .. 1035 July 1935 July August H. 1938 January ..

Leonard Ayrea, the noted Cleveland economist, says cur rently: "It now seems not Improbable that, within the next few months, we msy have In this country the curious anomaly of a statistics! recovery al most to normal levels which will, at the same time, fall far short of being satisfactory economic or social re covery. We are achieving normal lev els of Industrial production which are accompanied by growing numbers of local labor shortages, while, at the same time, there Is a huge continuing amount of unemployment." A harbinger of atronger business expectations la the stiffening of prices all along the line. The general price level (not Including farm and food) had been stable for montha un til recently. Advances are now creep ing upward all along the line. Since last May the general Indus trial level haa risen from 78.8 to 79.7, which Is a rather strong Incresee as price levels go. Strongest Increases are shown In these lines: Textiles now 70.4, up 9 since May: metals 86.3. up 8: chem icals and drugs 79.3. up 3.3: building materials 86.9, up 1.4; miscellaneous 71.6, up 3 5. Note The trend also Is noticeable In plana of the ateel Industry to In- crease prices and wages. Despite all the denials you have been reading from the steel companies, there will be a Joint price-wage Increase within 60 to 90 days (probably after elec tion). Lifting of food prices has Just started. Farm prices are up 10 full points from a May low to 74.4 to 84.6 for the last available week. Foods were up from 77.4 to 83 8 in the same period. Household rurntsMngs show little change in the same period. But the upward trend of living costs Is definitely established. All In all, the figures suggest we are In a new general economic trend. the outcome ot which la not clear Prixiucllon Is running up and'Tvine, costs are following right along.

Then there are individuals who. even when they have the chance to bathe In .the sun, can stand only a brief exposure which produces a painful burn and not a tan effect. They, too, should supplement their deficient Intake and deficient pro ductlon of vitamin D with either i fish oil or with one of the vitamin D concentrates. How much, I can only estimate I think from five to ten drops of the concentrate dally would be about right. It Is practl cally tasteless. I Just wonder I know nothing whatever about lt whether such supplementary source of vitamin D may not tend to prevent chronic arthritis. Maybe we'll know more about this when a few million more people have tried out the Idea. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Hatch for Signal Once or twice a year I have a nasty sore throat, I just take aspirin and lay up for a day or two. What can you suggest to put on It, If any thing? ... (C. H. W.) Answer A red rag kept wet with cold water. The cold moist compress relieves soreness. The color warns people to keep away. Acid Obsession When a person has overacld condi tion In blood what acid Is It that throws off the balance and what can one take to permanently prevent acidosis? What foods are alkaline? (Miss E. R. E.) Answer A person not restricted in diet will never suffer any auch acid condition. The notion of too much acid or acidosis from food is a morbid fancy propagated by humbug 'food specialists". Tomatoes, citrus fruit, dried beans, beets, carrots, peaches, apples, currants, raisins, po tatoes, dried peas, lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower, almonds, bananas, rad ishes turnips, celery, muskmelon and milk, cheese, cream and butter are the main Items on the alkaline side. Acidosis Is a result of disease, not a cause of It.

Oldsters kept away. Over In St. Joe, too, they had Lovers' Lane, bowered meander that was Immortalized by Eugene Field. The young swain met hla heart a desire there and, arm In arm, they drifted underneath the mur. muring sycamores. I used to stroll there, too, and It seemed especalllv hallowed. Now York has no such alcoves or Gretna Greens. No Idyllic cul de sao where young lovers may weave dreams, build castles. The nearest to a lovers' paradise In the metropolis Is the deck of a Coney steamer. A bua top or benches In frequented public squares. As a result,. the city has become a display of open love-making.

Is sending out call fo ovu Rfiamoiiai worsers lor late Filling. hop Comment on the Day's News f(EORGE DAVIS, of the Lorent Company, large Southern Oregon wholesalera, made an Interesting talk the other day before a Southern Ore gon service club on the subject of what he calls "the Midland Empire." The Midland Empire, as outlined by Mr, Davis, Is roughly equivalent to the Shasta-Cascade Wonderland In Southern Oregon and Northern Cali fornia. The facts he presented should be a source of Interest and pride to all the residents of this area. fJOR example: The approximate area of this Midland Empire (or Shasta-Cascade Wonderland) Is 67,000 square miles, and Its population (roughly) Is 186, 000 or about three persons to the square mile. By way of comparison, the popula tion of England la about SB million and Its area la 50,000 square miles or 760 persons to the square mile, pNGLAND, of course, la nearly V 2000 years from the raw sav ages found by Julius Caesar, whereas the Midland Empire (to .use Mr. Davis' term) is only about a century from the savages found by the earlier American explorers. The comparisons of area and population were offered by Mr. Davis merely to show the pos sibilities here). IN 1034, retail sales of merchandise In t.hl aroa tho Mlrilanri ITmnlrA, were (38,406.000. Average sales per person were $206. This average figure for the Midland Empire la far above the average for the United States, showing that the purchasing power of the people In this area la high. IN AVERAGE retail sales per person figures are available) Klamath Falls. Medford and Roseburg are far above the average, leading all other Oregon cities by nearly two to one. f A S TO spendable Income (Mr. " Davis told his hearers) the per capita average In Klamath Falls is $576 (per year). In Medford it Is $568, the-two cities being almost ex actly equal. The average for the five largest cities in Oregon (except Portland) is $515. The average for the entire state, Including Portland, la $545. So, you see, in the matter of in come (which is what we are all In terested in) we of Southern Oregon are well above the average for the state of Oregon as a whole. .

Efforts to reconcile the differences between the Lewis faction and the craft union group In control of the council have failed. Talk of court ac tion to block suspension has ceased. Labor men here generally agree that the Lewla faction will do nothing to prevent the order from becoming ef fective. 1 ' Closing time for Too Lata to Clas sify Ads is 1:30 p m The Good Things In Life It's the good things in life ... the "extras" . . , that make living worthwhile.
