MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 15. 1937. PAGE SEVEN GOOD RECORD SET I FOR FIRE DAMAGE ON ROGUEJOREST Only 68 Blazes Reported in Comparison With Average of 94 But 14 Caused by Man Loss Is Small Girls Community Club Is Outstanding One of the most favorable lira records In lta history was estab lished this year on the Rogue River National forest, statistics at head quarters here today showed. Sixty-eight fires were reported and extinguished this season In compari son with an average of 84. the rec ords disclosed. Of the 68 fires only two burned over areas In excess of - lo acres and no merchantable tim ber was lost. One hundred and four teen acres within the Rogue protec tive area, a large portion of which was grassland, were burned over, but damage was negligible. Of the 68 fires, 54 were caused by lightning. Only 14. or about ao per cent, were man-caused, the records show. This represents a decrease ot 13 per cent In the number of man caused fires over last year's figures. Service Is Grateful. "Thla showing Is very gratifying to the forest service." said H. C. Obye, assistant supervisor of the Rogue river national forest. "It Is an Indication of the public's apprecia tion of the value of the forests to the community and the nation. "In addition to the greater cau tion shown by the public, other lac tors contributing to the splendid record were the comparatively short fire season, generally favorable wea ther conditions and the season-long training program carried on witn the members of our protective or i ganlzstlon. In our protective program ' the CCC played a very Important part." griff r 0Nf I'M-across!! i ,.,..,1, .n -i -.- - rv TTi i , i Western Auto Has Fall Festival Of Motoring Specials - Coming at a time when motorists ire equipping their cars lor winter driving, the fall festival of valuea. now In progress at the Western Auto Supply company. Is a most timely event, declares Charles Prltchett, local manager ot the firm. Be states that scores of reduced prices pre sented In this event mean greater savings for car owners on accessories, tires, batteries and oil. "One of the outstanding features of the Fall Festival of Values Is the special sale prices now In effect on powerful Western Giant and Wizard batteries. Of unsurpassed quality, these batteries are built to meet the increased drain of winter service and extra electrical accessories," tne Western Auto manager asserts, "Auto lats have always enjoyed full value for their money when buying these batteries, and now the special re duced prices make Western Olsnts and Wizards unprecedented values during this event. "Economical motorists will also ap preciate the extra aavlnga on West ern Olant tires being offered during the Fall Festival of Values," Prltchett continues, "for It la a most oppor tune time to replace old, worn tires with new, safe-treaded ones at an even greater aavlng than Western Auto's regular low prices afford." "Of scientific design to give great er traction, longer tread wear and extra blowout protection, Western Olant tires set high standards 01 quality. Each tire sold la accom panied by a long all road hazard guarantee that Is backed by service at all our more than 170 stores In the west. These high standards 01 qusllty and long time guaranteea have made Western Giant lavorltes with hundreds of thousands of west ern motorists, and their reputation for greater value has spread until today there are more than a million of our tires giving dally satisfaction In every sort of service. "The current ssle event Is also an Idoal time for automobile owners to change to a winter grade of mo tor oil. for special low prices will prevail as long as the event Is ei fectlve. Included In this event are high grade lubricating oils espec ially refined to our high standards of quality. i "Economical motorists who lnveati- I gate our Fall Festival of Values win not only appreciate the extra savings i on tires, batteries and oil, but also i those that prevail on many other automobile accessories and supplies."

Music and Special Diet Aid Egg Factory Output By Aurellus Klmry AP Feature Writer CHICAQO "Oood morning folks it'a time to get uj one, two, three, stretch." Radio setting up exercises start the day for 8.500 leghorn hena producing 4,300 eggs a day In Chicago's down town, lour-story egg factory. Later In the day they get soothing organ music; and that, says eggmaa ter H. H. Bond, la the hen's delight a great egg producer. Scientific egg production In the factory has proved such a success that the managers are adding anoth er battery of 3,000 hens to keep up with orders. Bond, an Englishman who began "manufacturing" eggs In 1935, says his method enables consumers to get Just the color they want In an egg. "Farm hens run around and eat this and that In addition to their regular feed." he says. "When they eat too much green feed, the egg yolks are dark. Consumers like light colored yolks, and that Is what we get here because we balance the diet. "We give the hens a regulated mix ture of dried milk, meat scraps and green feed. We keep the protein content at 15 percent, compared with 18 or' 20 per cent in the average farm diet because our hens cannot get as much exercise In their cages. Once a week we give them grain Impregnated with cod liver oil. This substitutes for the sun our Indoor hens do not get." Life In an egg factory Is a snap for the hen as long as sho rolls out a minimum of 15 eggs a month. If she slips, she is headed for the butcher shop. An egg, ns soon as It Is laid, rolls Into a trough In front of the hen's Individual "apartment" a wire cage 18 Inches high, 18 deep and 13 wide. When collected. It Is credited to her on her own scoreboard. The apartments are arranged In tiers 20 feet long and three stories high, accommodating 60 hens to the block. A trough supplies the cages with running water. The hens get their feed by sticking their heads through the front doors and peck ing from private bins. Special ap paratus cleans beneath each tier with the turn of a crank at the end of the block. Each floor of the egg factory has Itc radio loudspeakers. Bond Insists the hens not only like their music but It keeps them healthy. "Our records show," he says, "that the hens closest to the loudspeakers lay more consistently and have less sickness than thoso farther from the music." PREFER MARBLE PORTLAND, Oct. 15. (fl1) White marble, Wilkinson sandstone or lime stone will go Into the walls of the new state library building In Salem, the state capitol reconstruction com mission decided In preparing to call for bids on the material. White marbel, while more expen sive, was preferred because of Its use in the main enpltol building now under construction. Bids will be ask ed on all three, however, and an al ternative chosen should the cost of the marble prove excessive. As a necessary formal step, the commission voted to accept a federal grant of $450,000 for the library structure. The contract with Whltehouse & Church. Portland architects, was ap proved In final form. Use Mail Tribune want ads. Pedestrian Run Down. SALEM. Oct. 15.

"These local streets will also be free from Inter- ference from building-line to building-line. . Open areas beneath buildings will provide parking space.. loading platforms for trucks.

That's why stop and go is costly! While traffic authorities are planning "the City of Tomorrow," Shell engineers have developed a fuel, Super-Shell, to meet today's driving problem TODAY. - They have found a way to rearrange the chemical structure of gasoline ... actually to balance it! Automotive . engineers use the term "motor-digestible" to describe Super. Shell, because at all motor speeds it is converted so QUICKLY, so COMPLETELY into power. The regular use of Super-Shell will save money on yonr stop and go. There's a Shell dealer near yon. SUPEI&HELL
