The store will rank with the finest on the Paclflo coast, the superintendent stated, and was ln tailed because of the faith held by company officials In the future of Medford and the Rogue River valley.

Earl Goodman, also from the Ban Franolsco office, superintended Installation of the modern luncheonette. Superintendent Crump stated that the F. W. woolworth company would attempt to give the ultimate In ser vice and value to the people of Med ford and vicinity at Ita new local store. He said that business had so Increased In latter yeara that It be came necessary to move to larger and more modern quartora. 2 Sets of Twins Confuse Faculty and Boy Friends AUSTIN, Tel. (CP) The Btamm twins, four of them, are creating hav oc on the University of Texas campus these days. There happen to be four because Aurellta and Ellaka, 19 look so much like Joy and Jocelyn, 18, that only In timates and not all Intimates can tell one from the other. They look so much alike, that the Alpha Delta PI sorority pledged them all at ones to avoid confusion. Boys, they oonfess, occasionally go out with the wrong sister without ev er knowing It. When Aurellta, for Instance, gets a chance to make two dates for the asms hour, she merely passes one slong to Ellska, Joy or Jocelyn. The boys never know the difference and everybody Is happy. All four are trim brunettes, and pretty. They live together and wear the same kind of clothes, even the same sizes. They sre almost always together and even catch colds st the ssme time. Ellska said. The girls sre the daughters of Mr snd Mrs. A. F. Stamm of Rayme, La. Stamm la an oil dealer. The older twins were graduated from high school three years sgo, went two yesrs together to Southwestern Louisiana Institute, snd then were separated for the first time In their life. Last yesr. Aurellta taught at Morse, La., and Ellska at Lake Arthur, 25 miles away. The distance wss short but neither enjoyed the separation. When Joy and Jocelyn chose the University of Texas, the 19-year-olds csme slong to take some more educa tion courses. The younger two are studying physical education. When the four girls appeared on the csmpus the eye-rubblng started. Aurellta and Ellska were waived aside with "we've seen you, quit kidding" when they appeared for medical ex aminations. Joy and Jocelyn had been there a short time before! The glrla have an older brother and sister. "It's fun being twins," they all ad mit, but the double-twin business does complicate things a bit. "All I can say," said Ellska. "Is thst I'm sorry for the Dlonne quints." Chinatown Buries Strife In Anxiety Over Jap War (AP Feature Service) NEW YORK. -The "war" in China hss done something to Mott ttreet, the heart of New York's Chinatown. Drably-garbed denizen have burled factional at rife and politics to make common cause of the against Japan, They've even lost some of dread of photographers. Time was when an assignment to Chinatown was among the toughest for New York cameramen. terest in the passing photographer. Everyone concentrates on the news from the homeland. As bulletins are posted on the sides of buildings, there Is a rush to read them. Young men in styles fresh from Allen street, old men In timeless campaign 1 sack suits, or befrogged Jackets they (wore in China, -gather to study. The ADOPT PROTEST ON BUG DEPOTS their i photographer, who sees drama in the tense faces and bodies, clicks his shutter then, unheeded. These people have a stake in the far eastern struggle. Nearly every one Enter a shop where elderly, mys- j of them has given something money teii ous -looking Chinese are smoking placidly, and one of them says quiet ly, "Go away." They won't listen to an explanation. But If a shopkeeper should agree to have pictures taken in his store, his clerks scurry sway. Boms say the Chinese are afraid they lose part of their souls when their pictures are taken. But today there Is much less ln- or clothing to the cause. The Chi nese newspapers in New York collect the money and a Chinese school on Mott street gathers the clothes Many Chinatown workers have pledged percentage of their salaries. No Japanese live In Chinatown, though a few come around to eat Chinese food occasionally. So far there has been no trouble.

For Britons at the dinner table are a nation of' southpaws very enengetlo southpsws. Everybody eats with his Isft hsnd there's no awkward changing over from left to right after cutting one's meet. But the first thing goggle-eyed Yankees learn la that the knife la more than an Instrument for cut ting food. Give an Bngllshmsn a knife and fork and you'll see some of the fanciest manipulations ever perform ed outside of a billiard room. He atarta aa an American does fork In left hand, knife In right. But from there on. all rules are off. Your Englishman firmly ataba tho meat with his fork. Then does he lift It to hli mouth and start chew ing? He does not. He scurries about the plate. No waste action here. It must be a full load and a varied one before an Englishman will exert the energy to raise It to hie Jaws. It's here that his knife gets Its extra workout. Around the plate go knife and fork, stopping for a little firmly mashed on the back of the fork with the aid of the knife. Yes, the back of the fork. It holds more than the front, you know. So, after. meat, cabbage, potatoes and so on bsve been piled on the fork, the Englishman raises his strong left arm. ducks hts hesd to meet the uncomlng shovelful and fills his mouth. A msrvelous shortcut. But sn Englishman needs a short out when you consider the sl of his mesls. Dinners often consist of separate fish and separate game courses, in addition to the usual soup, meat, potatoea. salad, etc. A. Briton often has finished six courses by the time he gets to coffee or tea : which, by the way. costs extra at most public eating places in London Often extra, too, are bread and but-, tor.

(JPi With brisk faU days, a new wardrobe-replenishing season has arrived. Soon there will be thousands of hectically-planned shopping expeditions to thronged clothing stores. Those who shop need expect noth ing stsrtllngly new In men's styles but they probably win discover i decided trend toward better ap' parel. Shouldera are broader, lapela more sharply peaked and the drape that started out to be English has be come so msrked thst our British friends have deeded It to us, lock. stock and barrel. If you're fed up with conven- ttonal colors in suitings, you'll be surprised how plesssntly the new forest green becomes you. Of course, It's not really green; It has blue and gray In It a subtle blending and It's a relief from the conven tionally colored brown, blue or gray suits you're wearing now. Chalk stripes are still In high fsvor. The trend toward better clothinr- is definite. Apparently, the idea that man usually feels aa well as he's dressed is gaining ground. Women, realizing their own economic Inter ests are Involved in their husbands' appearances, are auggestlng suits ol better than run-of-the-mill materials. As to accessories, there seems to be a decided preference for col ored shirtings, stiff white collars and solid-color ties during business hours at least. It is worth noting that men are becoming more flex ible and imaginative in their blend ing of colors. It Is now possible to see harmonies and contrasts in men's dress which would have seem ed outlandish only a few yeara ago. And these appear on the average breadwinner, not the fop or playboy.

Police In northern Oregon snd southern Washington were looking for P. R. Miller, 31. whom Ashland police say cashed a spurious check here and induced a local woman to endorse another for 930. He bought some merchandise at a local store Monday, paying for It with the 86 check and receiving some chsnge. He also engaged a room at a local residence, telling the propri etress he would stay about six weeks. But after ahe endorsed the S30 check she saw no more of him.
