MEDFORD MAIL TTCTBTTNTE. MEDFORD. OREGON'. TUESDAY. MAY 11, 1937. PAOE FIVE KING WILL WEAR HEAVY GROWN IN CORONATION RITE St. Edward's Crown of Glit tering Jewels Tips Beam at Five Pounds Queen's Crown Is Much Lighter LONDON, May 11. (AP) Five pounds of glittering Jewels that cost $160,000 back In 1663 and are now considered priceless will adorn the royel head of King George VI. at his coronation Wednesday in Westmin ster Abbey. St. Edward's crown weighs that much and the crown jewelers have been busy lining and padding It to fit King George's head which Is of different shape from that of his father, the late King George V. In 1640, Oliver Cromwell, after he had deposed the Stuarts, Junked the original crown worn by Edward the Confessor, the predecessor -of Wil liam the Conqueror. Welcome Change. King George VI. undoubtedly will be glad enough to change St. Ed ward's crown when he leaves the ab bey for the Imperial state crown which he will don on the circuitous procession back to Buckingham Pal ace. The state crown Is a pound and a half lighter than that worn in the abbey but has an even more famous collection of jewels whose value has not been estimated. It contains the star of Africa diamond, part of the huge Culllnan diamond, the largest ever discovered. Other priceless Jewels are the Black Prince's ruby, won on a Spanish bat tlefield In 1367, and, even older, the sapphire of Pious St. Edward, build er of the original Westminster Ab bey, Queen Elizabeth's pearl ear rings also -stud the crown which was originally made for ese coronation of Queen Victoria. The weight of value of the crown to be worn by the new Queen Eliza beth m ade espec 1 al ly for Wed nes day's ceremony Is unknown. It probably will weigh less than three pounds and will be of enormous value as, among other rare gems from the royal vaults. It will contain the famous Koh-I-Noor dieamond. Cheap In Old Days. When Cromwell Junked the royal regalia, parliament didn't place much value on the lot. A "true and perfect Inventory" taken at the time listed: ' The imperial crown, weight 7 lbs., 6 oz., valued at 1,110 pounds (about $5,500 today.) The queen's crown, valued at 338 pounds, (about $1,690.) Small crown In Iron chest, valued at 74 pounds, ($370.) r. Jewels, valued at 355 pounds (about $1,755.) Queen Edith's crown, valued at 16 pounds (about $80.) . One large glass cup, valued at 102 pounds (about $510.) Other minor regalia, such as robes, stockings, etc., were valued at from 35 cents up to $3.50. Three swords were valued at $15. The&e old relics would be even more valuable today than the pres ent regalia. If they had survived and the estimated value of the pres ent royal regalia is about $30,000,000.

E FARMERS, LABOR TO SEEK RIGHTS Should Not Rest Until Given Bargaining Power Equiva lent to That Enjoyed by Corporations, View WASHINGTON, May 11. (VP) Labor and farm groups. In the ex pressed opinion of Secretary Wallace, "should not rest until they get bar gaining power equivalent to that en Joyed by the corporations." Voicing this belief recently, the chief of the agriculture department said he thought farmers and work ers would gain such power eventually through organization. When that happens, he predicted, industrial corporations, workers and farmers will be compelled to Join forces, probably under governmental direction. Must Observe Rules. "It seems to me." Wallace said, "that corporations "must more and more be prepared to accept the doc trine that capital and management have received from government a grant or power which entitles them to make profits on condition that certain rules of the game are ob served with respect to production, prices, wages and savings." - He said these rules should be con sidered in development of a new NRA or any other federal control over business and Industry. Tracing the history of corporate enterprise, the secretary of agricul ture said It has become an Import ant factor In national life since the Civil war "and especially alnce 1800." So constant has been Its growth, he said, and so great Is the power of Individual corporations today that 200 of the largest ones will own 70 percent of the corporate wealth by 1050 If recent trends continue un checked. lawyers Build Myth. He declared corporation lawyers have built "a myth that there la some divine right of corporations to exercise powers and that legislatures and courts gave no right to call them back or curb their use." Corporations, Wallace added, have been able to say "Take It or leave If to nearly everyone and "the pub lic had to take It even when It S ANTISEPTIC LOTION U guaranteed toquicklyeliratMtePoisooOakormoney back.

The track shou are the ties, providing big areas of ground contact to distribute the "Caterpillar" Tractor's weight and prevent skid ding or sinking down.

The large long-lasting, heat-treated steel sprocket are the drivers and their strong teeth keep in constant, positive mesh with the tracks. Flanged steel rollers (with drop forged, heat-treated steel rims) carry the "Caterpillar'' Tractor's weight on the rails mighty little power is needed for this tractor to propel itself I The heavy-duty engine teaming with "cog-railroad" traction gives the "Caterpillar" Tractor its tremendous pulling power. Vet unlike a cog locomotive, this tractor picks up and relays its track endlessly pulls its big loads where you steer it, uphill or down, over sand, seed bed, muck or snow!
