McKee left the paat week on s protracted trip east which even tually will take her to her home In Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, after being ft guest In the city for the past two months. Mrs. McKee gave several Interesting addresses on the international peace gardens being developed on the bor derline between Manitoba and North Dakota while here and aroused much Interest In the subject. The gardens are to serve as a me morial to the long established friend ship between the United States and Canada and are being created as ft result of acta of congress and parlia ment. The Idea for the peace garden was Introduced at the annua meeting of the National Association of Garden ers in Toronto, In 1029, when H. J. Moore, a graduate of Kew gardens, London, England, and a former lec turer at Cornell university and of Ontario college of horticulture, pro posed to the outstanding horticul turists and gardeners of North Amer ica, that there should be a living memorial to commemorate the US years of peace whlcn has existed be tween Canada and the United States, the memorial to be a flower garden located along the International boundary of the two countries. He suggested a garden that would be ft replica of typical gardens In every part of the world so that people from all nationalities and creeds could go and linger amidst surroundings of their native lands. The national association of garden- era was enthusiastic over the project and letters of Incorporation were taken out and an International com mittee of 60 men and women ap pointed 28 from each country to start action on the matter. Turtle mountain was chosen as a site for the memorial, being on the boundary of Manitoba and North Da kota, at a point where the boundary intersects the Canada, to Canal high waythe longest north and south highway In the world reaching from Bo warns n, Manitoba, to Mexico City. On July 14, 1033, a cairn waa un veiled In the gardens before the larg est International assembly ever gath ered on the continent. The cairn, about eight feet high, Is built of native atones gathered from both sides of the line on which it rests. Inscribed on the granite plaque" Is the pledge of enduring peace. It reads: "To God In His glory we two na tions dedicate thla garden and pledge ourselves that aa long as men shall live we will not take up arms against one another.' Development of the peace garden can be said to have little more than Just begun. During the months of April.

McMahon has arrived at 'its new home and taken to the family bosom. When MaJ. McMahon was trans ferred from the Med ford CCO dis trict to Tuscaloosa, Ala., be took one of this city's notorious bob-taned pussies with him. Subsequently the cat died and the family longed for another of the strange animals. Phllo Smith came to the rescue The cat he procured for the McMa bons had not only a bobbed tall with a crimp In the end. but bow legs and an extra toe on each front paw. The pussy was taken cross country to Port Knox, Ky., on a troop train by Capt. S. V. Andrew of Camp Ounter. From Port Knox the cat was expressed to Tuscaloosa. Oapt. Andrew reported Its cross country trip In the following note to Ueut. Smith: " I have that extra -phalangeal, congenltally malformed monstrosity, the cat, under my left wing. He's nad a couple of rather unusual adven tures for ft cat. We lurched around s couple of bends and he got a bath of tomato juice and be fell off the lounge In my roost and sprained bis ankle. I thought he bad an extra toe. but he hasn't. Merely a thumb where ft normal cat's toes ought to be. I think he Is one of evolution's con temporary ancestors, there must be some ape In his forefathers. "P. 8. The men are all right, too." Prom MaJ. McMahon comes this word about the cat's progress: "The little devil arrived safe and sound and has been either dead to the world or raising hell in generaj ever since. There is no middle ground in his life. He Is like weather in Maine, which has only winter ana the Fourth of July. "His 6-toed Majesty Is In a class by himself In this town.

An elaborate pro gram of work Is planned for the balance of the year. Civilian Conservation Corps camp was established In 1934.

TRACED BY DOCTORS USING CATS AND DYE CHICAGO. Oct. l.iPrA pair of medical pathfinders from Portland, Ore., described to the American Acad emy of Optholmology and Otolaryng ology how, with the aid of blue dye and cats they traced for the first time the path of dread sinus germs to the lungs of afflicted patients. Dr. Ralph A. Penton read a report prepared Jointly with Dr. Oolof Lar- sell, his research colleague at the University of Oregon, following ten years of study. Their work waa fi nanced for the past six years by the academy. The blue dye. used as an Indicator. was filtered through the lymph glands of experimental cats but reached the lungs from the frontal and maxillary sinuses within a few hours. The dye, and later actual streptococci used without dye. was found loaded "all through" the small blood vessels of the lungs. The germs. Dr. Fen ton said, even tually reached the liver and spleen where they were filtered out of the body. A sinus sufferer," he said, "may not even have a sore throat, but the Infection may already have spread to bis lungs. A serious inflammation Is coused occasionally. "And as It moves through the glands, those seemingly rheumatic pains In the neck Indicate filtration of the streptococci as they move to ward the lungs."

In the same month, created a fund of (10.625,000 from which em ployes of his factories would benefit. He said, "I feel It Is up to anyone who has more money than he re quires to help the less fortunate, especially those who were not blessed with suoh health aa 1 have. "The Idea that It Is easy to give money always waa the biggest fal lacy In the world. It has caused me 500 percent more trouble since I started than my business." He said he was swamped with beg ging letters after each benefaction. Streamline 'Going forward or onward; a march or Journey," such is the defi nition of progress.

The Olrl Scout program la baaed upon belief In the educational value of small groups and designed to meet needs of girls from 1 to 18 years of age for a leisure time program of men tal, physical, and character-developing activities. The program empha alzea the out-of-door life and gtvea the girls practical knowledge of such things as health and safety, bome maklng, first aid work, arts and crafts, nature study, camping, swim ming, and community service. It alms through comradshlp to develop ini tiative, self-control, self-reliance, and unselfish service to others. When your daughter is with her Olrl Scout troop, you know that she Is safe and happy. Her friends are active girls eager to learn everything that will help them; and the captain who heads the troop Is a person to be trusted. In our records we have many local girls who owe the success of their first Job to their scouting experienoe. "Sally learned story-telling, sing ing, handicraft, life-saving, and child nursing in Olrl Scouting. Later she got a part time Job as a mother's helper. This Job helped Sally through college. Marie, who received the eame scout training now spends her sum mers as a counselor in children's camps, Jane who went to business college, finds that her training as a Olrl Scout hostess helped her to hold a secretarial Job which required tact In meeting people. Every phase of scouting helps in ouildlng a well rounded personality." Olrl Scouting In Medford has grown from one lone troop organized In 1927 to 16 active troops. There are over 275 Olrl Scouts and each of these troops has from two to four adult leaders, assisting the leaders of each troop la a committee of three women, to help carry out tne program of this particular -troop and to Insure per msncy of lesdershlp for this group.

To train leaders of these troops and to keep detailed records of all the achievements and progress of the in dividual Olrl Scouts and troops, is the local director, one who has had special Olrl Scout training and sev eral yenrs of actual Girl Scout troop experience.
