OILMAN 10 SAW 'EM
SEATTLE. April 30. (&) "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."

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. Three machines were flying
In formation when the pronellor of
one ship caught the tall of the plane
ahead.
WASHINGTON . (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.

The Medford Production Credit as
sociation Is still receiving many ap
plications ror livestock and crop pro-
ductlon loans, according to Secre
tary -Treasurer L. J. Deuel. These
loans are closed and disbursed
through the office in the courthouse
bo that local farmers can obtain
convenient and prompt loan service,
he announced.
"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.
I'm an artist and you want me to
keep books. I'll keep books, all right.
If you'll draw pictures. How's that?'
He Just laughed. He said I was an
other of these cuckoo arttsts.
"We paint a .picture of a pretty
girl and sell it to a magazine, and
the city saya w are 'vendors' Just
like a butcher or baker or grocer
and that we have to pay a two per
cent sales tax."
He winced. "It Isn't the money.
It's the Idea. It s the Idea of calling
an artlst's creation a 'product.' That's
what hurts. A product as though a
work of art were a can of pork-and-beansl"
Brown said more than 300 artists
have pledged the amount they would
have to pay in 1938 sales tax to
fight the levy, and that the move
ment lists such notables ns James

Campus Poetry Changes
From Tears to Cynicism
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (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

of Oregon State college said today In

The current farm price level In

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.

years, "rtiey served their purpose.
however, because the student who
could reduce his muse to continue
with correct If uninspired pace for
dozen pages learned something
worth knowing about versification.
Bellinger believes.
This form gave way eventually to
straightforward narrative, particu
larly the ballad, and in the 20th
century, verse dramas reappear, but
they have an easier manner and In
creasing proportion of real dramatic
element. 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. It Is sympto
matic that in Alt that period there
la only one unattractive woman. A
lady may be cruel and faithless, but
on no account mav she be othr
than fascinating.
"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.
