LAUDERDALE LAKE, Winconnin, Aug. 8. It'i an ill wind
that blows no one good. Motored up here from Roclcford yes
terday to spend the week-end and get away from the heat.
Other member of the family were to drive up today for a
family dinner at the shack. A wind started up during the
night, followed by a rain, and before breakfast this morning a
phone from Rockford declared the trip off, raining dogs and
cats down there. Hard on the week-end at the lake, but fine
and dandy for the Rockford friends, who live on a farm, and
because of the drought feared they would lose the corn crop
at over a dollar a bushel. The downpour will be a life saver.
Lewi than half an inch of rain during July, and the corn was
beginning to wilt. A good hay and oats crop, wheat also
harvested (over a dollar a bushel) and now the corn safe,
looks like a big year.
But when we get back there will be some fly in the ointment.
Never knew it to fail yet. A few years ago, agriculture was
out the only thing to do was to quit, and let the property go
for taxes. At the prices then prevailing, the gasoline bill
couldn't be met. Then Roosevelt came in with bis farm relief
program, and the sinking Bhip was salvaged, for the time being.
Now the prices for farm products are what everyone dreamed
of four years ago and were so sure would never return. But
on our arrival the other day we learned the price of oats' had
dropped from 60 cents to 30, and the corn crop would be a total
loss. Now the corn is saved and everyone says oats can be
held until the price comes back,

Republicans, who year in year out vote the Q. O..P. ticket
straight. The newspaper representative from Oregon is some
thing considerably worse than a pariah, for in the last election
they have been told, he supported Roosevelt. They can't believe
it and refuse to talk about it.
And we have a pretty good
ointment will be. Something like this, wBst gooa are nign
prices anyway, with taxes what they are, and the budget not
balanced. And porterhouse steak at 75 cents per pound ! The

Heat was not the onlv thing
was the motor traffic. Main street was once the Euclid Avenue
of Rockford, nice comfortable homes, on the river bank, green
lawns front and back, and towering elms forming a shsdy
green arch over the street. Main
It's now merely No. 2 on the
traffic between Dixon, Illinois snd Beloit, Wisconsin. Driving
forth from 831 is like running the gauntlet. One often has to
halt the ear at the curb for five or ten minutes to find a
break in the endless traffic. And when the motor cars thin
out about midnight the trucks begin, and keep it up until
daylight. No two ways about it, the gasoline engine has
ruined Main street.
And it has ruined Lauderdale lake as far as we are con
cerned, Years ago it was a secluded little string of three lakes,
five miles from a railroad, with heavily wooded banks, and fine
fishing for pickerel, pike and black bass. Now it is just one
of the minor Chicago lake resorts, with almost as many gas
engines functioning on the water, as in the Windy City loop.
Even the fishing scows have putt-putts. A row boat is as rare
as a horse and buggy on Michigan avenue. The fishing is no
more, except early in the spring and lata in the fall, and this
putt-putting goes on from morning till night, the only iuiet
period being from about two a. m. until daylight. (OK have

Years ago there wss a little lake south of here known as

Kull of weeds and lily pads with low bare shores, we sometimes
went down there to caieh ruck bass and perch, and how
we caught them I But even the Sunday crowds in those days
passed it up. Now thanks to the gas engine and concrete high
ways. Cioose lake if you please is a SUMMER RESORT. There
are cottages on the flat chested shores, and one of them on ail
old Indian mound, approximately fifteen feet above the lake
level, sports an elaborate sign which reads "Isle of View!
And nt the entrance to the lake Is a highway road house, with
a life size statue of a horse, in front, surrounded by signs
informing those who can read (English), that steaks, chops,
wines and Sehlitr. beer may be obtained within, with dancing.
It is known as the White Horse Inn.

It la evident
from the many

about ultravio

diation and "vio

that there la a good deal of confu
sion snd misinformation In the
popular mind. Probably a source ot
much of the misinformation and
confusion about ultraviolet light was
the occasional magisterial comment
of a late philosopher who harbored
an obsession that very strong ultra
violet rays could penetrate the skull
and work havoc with the membranes
covering the brain or the brain It

cally unlearned old gentleman cau

To the beet of our present knowl
edge the benefit derived from un

of vitamin D from the chemical ac
tion of the ultraviolet rays of sun

Well, the anawer to that question,

If All of the drlvera concerned had

have been no accidents.
But they WEREN'T careful. It

But It doesn't seem to be working

If they work, and more or less awful

UNLESS our bad record Improves,

going to have to change our traffic

have to hire more traffic policemen
If you've ever noticed how carefully

ZION CONGRESS VOTES
FOR NEGOTIATION ON
ZURICH, Switzerland. Aug. II
fAPi The world Zionist congress
voted today to negotiate with Great
Britain on a royal commission's rec
ommendations for the partition of
Palestine, despite impassioned oppo
sition by Rabbi Stephen Wise of
New York. The vote was 304 to 1M.
The vote climaxed Rabbi Wlse'a
plea' for flat rejection of the roysl
report, which envisages the splitting
of the Holy Land Into Jewish, Araab
and British mandated sectors,
"No I No!" the American Rabbi
cried out. He and his associates were
opposed irrevocably to any division
of Palestine which would lessen the
scope of the Jewlrh national home.
Today's vote does not authorize
the executive officers of the World
Zionists to say "Yea" or "No" to
the royal commission report, but
they may explore Its possibilities and
ascertain the exact terms of the
proposal.
Many of the 463 voting delegates
were so moved that they wept be
fore the vote.
