(&) "You wouldn't believe some of the things I've seen," George Vernon Pish, Sr.. warned Interviewers today when he returned to the United States after 16 years' oil drilling In India. And then he described the seven palaces of the Gaekwar of Baroda, who commissioned Pish to test his territory for petroleum. "The cow Is a sacred animal In India, and the Gaekwar had a herd of bulls with the horns sheathed in beaten gold. The bulls each had servants, and they drank out of golden buckets and ate from silver troughs," he said. "There were bedrooms In the pal ace domed with gold. The Rajah's wife slept In a golden bed. The walls of her room were finished In hand painted satin, and hanging on one side waa a huge Persian rug. The colors were not worked In fabric, but In precious stones. "The ruler had the diamond once owned by Napoleon. It was an inch and a quarter long and three-quarters wide, and It was suspended from ten strings of graduated diamonds, the smallest of 11 carats. "I've never seen anything like that palace." NEW YORK, April 30. iJpy The downfall of many young girls and the breaking of many a young man's morals was laid today at the marquee of New York's burlesque theaters. A concentrated attack was directed at burlesque performances in general and at their advertising posters In particular at the second day's hear ing before License Commissioner Paul Moss. The drive against burlesque thea ters came at a time when they and their celebrated "strip tease" acts were enjoying a near all-time peak In poularlty. The licenses of New York's 17 burlesque theaters expire at midnight Friday and their critics want the houses closed. The defense has not been heard. Moss read a letter from Patrick Cardinal Hayes, archbishop of New York, In which the cardinal said. "The spread of the civil Influence and destructive results from these disgraceful and pernicious perform ances is the cause of much concern to me as the shepherd of the Cath olic population of this beloved city." Mrs. P. H.Cochrin, a leader of a Brooklyn" boys' club, said she was "discouraged and disgusted" by post ers in front of burlesque theaters and the lines of young men at the box. office waiting to got in. "The burlesque theaters undo In a week what the churches do in a year," said Mrs. Cochrln. Mrs. M. Ella Curtis, director of the Protestant Big Sister council of Brooklyn described burlesque thea ter as "breeding places of crime" and "a disgrace to the city and to city officials." 5 T7e In .Midair Cra.-h. LONDON, April 30. (JP) Five army filers, three of them pilots and two mechanics, were killed when two Rnyal alrfore bombers collided in midair and crashed near Methwold today.

(UP) Boulder dam's great power plant has been Increased In value by 1.500,000 be cause waters from the dam are car rying away from the stream bed be low it each day enough silt to fill three freight trains of 80 cars each. The scouring of the bed was cited by John C. Page, reclamation com missioner, as an Interesting Illustra tion of the changes wrought In the character of the Colorado river by construction of Boulder dam on the Nevada-Arizona line. The regulated flow has carried away In the last two years 9.100.000 tons of slit deposited in past ages, by the overburdened stream, with the result that the stream Is clear to a point 43 miles below the dam. It no longer, looks like the Colorado river. New rapids have been formed where the removal of silt has exposed an cient and long-burled boulders. The scouring. Page reported to Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes, has added about four feet to the ef fective head of the turbines In the dam. Each foot thus added Increases the annual earning power from cur rent, when the power plant Is fully equipped, approximately 150,000. When the turbines were Installed, allowance was made, for use' of an additional 20 feet of head from scour ing in the river bed. Muddy water still pours from the Grand Canyon Into1 Lake Mead above the dam, but the silt settles In the bottom of the lake for 115 miles. Clear water thus rushes through the dam's outlets and. because of its regular flow, scours the stream bed Delow. The flow Is now regular the year around, whereas before construction of the dam the Colorado river fluc tuated between floods as great as 300.000 cubic feet per second to 300 feet in the dry season. Flood and drouth thus have been eliminated as threats to farmers in the lower valley of the Colorado. By ROtiER 1). GREENE , NEW YORK.

"More farmera are learning how they can save money by financing their crops and livestock co-operatively." Secretary Deuel says, "with the result that the Medford PCA Is making a steady growth in both membership and loan volume." Although money conditions are be coming firmer and other prices are moving upward, the association is still able to iake loans on a syste matic budget plsn at the low rate of 5 per cent Interest a year to farm ers having a sound basis of credit, he report.

(UP) Not given to tears In his proper person, but continually "bedewing" this page and that with his writings, is the characterization accorded poeSs In the undergraduate schools of Yale for the past century by Prof. Alfred R. Bellinger. Bellinger, former chairman of the Yale Literary magazine and assoc iate professor of Greek and Latin at Yale, has made a study of the poetry of the magazine, which has celebrated its centenary. In Its files from 1836 to 1036 he found not only sn Illustration of the changes In taste and technique, but also some of the persistent characteristics of poetry written by students. "It does not seem probable." he said, "that at any time the under graduate was given to weeping In his proper person, but he continually bedews this page and that, appar ently quite independent of the trend of fashion In other respects.'' An unhappy precedent was set in 1838 by a "Tribute to the Memory of Henry Ellsworth Dickson, a mem ber of the Junior class, who died July 3, 1838. aged 10 years." Bel linger said. "For some time after ward deaths in the undergraduate body were followed by dutiful, pious and lugubrious odes to the mem ory of the departed. They are frigid affairs whose only Interest Is an antiquarian one like that of the winged death's heads on contempor ary gravestones." Young poets In the decade which began in 1936 were markedly Influ enced by Milton. Coleridge, Words worth. Shelley and other famous English poets. Bellinger found. Trans lations were frequent from French and German poets as well as from Greek and Latin, but by the end of the 80s this had gone by the boards. Many verse tragedies or fragments of tragedies which for the most part are unexciting and "quite devoid of Bees Travel Far "" FOND DU LAC. Wis.

GLEEMEN'S STAR ALSO SHINES AS Tl Sunday-At Regular Prices 1 IXI Romeo 1 Juliet THE NEW CRATERIAN CORVALLIS. April 30. Py aumer demand for farm products ahould continue steady with no marked change, agricultural experts of Oregon State college said today In a buolneas review. The current farm price level In Oregon stands at a figure slightly below the mid-March Index of 93 percent of the 1938-30 average. De spite the slight decline, the Index remains some 23 percent above the comparative figure of last year. Although there has been an up ward trend In farm costs, ranging around 7-8 percent In the past year, farm prices are approximately level In exchange value for the commod ities usually purchased by farmers, a condition which has not existed for some years, the review said.

Not only the manner of ex pression changed constantly, but also the point of view, according to d i linger. "There Is a frankness and an Im patience of the amenities apparent slnco the World war which would have shocked the editors of Victor Ian days, whose delicacy ana suavity would quite as much offend their descendants. Until the war the poets were, with raro exceptions, optimists and Idealists, "The sophomorlc tears do not In the least veil the fact.

"With the progress of the 20th century, there has come more of in- aignation. more of cynicism, and which Is really to be regretted more of ennui." George Peckham, well known In Medford as a singer, Is also a natural ist and student of wild life, so It Is said, devoting most of his spare time to observation of the habits of the less known denizens of the woods and streams of southern Oregon. Mr. Peckham. It is Mid. is responsible for an amazing discovery mnde re cently which may lead to action by the game commission. it is well known fact that cat flsh live almcst indefinitely out of water when removed by fishermen, but It has never been established that they leave the slough and ponds voluntarily. Following per sonal Investigation covering quite ft period of time, so ttj story goes. Peckham discovered that catfish crawl out of the river end forage along the banks for field mice, grass hoppers and other pests, some of the larger fish even having been known to attack small digger squirrels. A fact that tends to support this reported statement is the prevalence of the pesky rodents in the vicinity of Savage Rapids ever since the cat fish derby depleted the number of catllsh in the river at that point. It is rumored that the farmers In that vicinity are circulating petitions to prohibit the taking of these fish ex cept in the fall and winter when the field mice ore in hibernation, as men sure of protection to their crops. Mr. Peckham is one of the fea tured soloists in the Oleemen con cert which is to be presented at the high school auditorium next Tuesday.
