MEDFOTTD IfSTL TRIBUNE, rEDFORD, OREGON". THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1937,
OPEN!
LOCATI
After being located at 135 But
Main street for 30 yean, the F. W
Woolworth company tomorrow morn'
te( opens Its doors at lta bright and
ahlnlng new home at Blxth atreat
and Central avenue, made ready at a
coat of S75.000, acordlng to T. L.
Crump of Ban Francisco, superin
tendent of Woolworth stores for
northern California and southern
Oregon.
Promptly at 8:30 o'clock, business
will begin in the new location. Crump
and B. M. Bchlno, local manager, Join
in Inviting everyone to the grand
opening. 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.
The new location of the Medford
unit will more than double the sell
tng space of Its previous place of
business, and will employ triple the
number of salesgirls. In place of 10
girls formerly, 30 will now be em
ployed by the store, Crump pointed
out.
A feature of the new store, which
la 80 by 100 feet In dimensions, both
on the ground floor and in the base
ment, will be ultra-modern lunch
eonette, located Just to the left of
the central avenue entrance. The
long, curving lunch counter will sest
96 perrons, and the finest equipment
possible to obtain has been Installed.
All equipment Is chromium. The
counter Itself Is black glass.
Kitchen for the luncheonette Is
located In the basement, with food
being transferred by means of an
alectrlo hoist. Complete meals will
be served In addition to fountain
goods.
All counters, fixtures and Installa
tions are brand new, Crump stated.
Nothing was moved from the old lo
cation. Because of the greater space
for display of goods and finer facil
ities to serve the public, many new
lines and a larger assortment of mer
chandise will be possible from now
on, the superintendent stated. A
complete stockroom In the basement
will enable the store to handle prac
tically anything the customer desires.
Another feature of the atore la the
candy department, the display cases
being parallel to Central avenue, just
Inside the door.
The entire Interior of the store,
former location of the M. M. depart
ment atore. has been remodeled end
reflnlshed and a new floor Installed.
Overhead lights lend amazing bright
ness to the store. The walla and
celling have all been done over In
a cream and white effeot.
Much haa been done for the com
fort of employes. In the bssement,
modem rest rooms will be available,
with lockers and shower baths in
cluded. There will be a lounging
room for women employes, complete,
ly furnished, where they may rest
when tired.
Work wss stsrted on the new loca
tion last September, under the direc
tion of P. W. Ebersolo of Ban Fran
cisco, construction engineer of the
Woolworth company. 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."

Your Englishman firmly ataba tho

lift It to hli mouth and start chew

must be a full load and a varied

the energy to raise It to hie Jaws.
It's here that his knife gets Its

A resolution passed bv the Won
derland association at its recent con
vention in Sussnvtlle In accordance
with the western conference of suto-
moblle clubs held last month In Sslt
Lake City follows:
Wheress, there has developed In
recent years, particularly In the west
ern pert of this country, a tendency
to establish porta of entry, border
policy stations snd tax collection of
fices, which has produced many com
plaints from tourists of uncivil treat
ment, of unnecessary and annoying
delays snd in some Instances of un
justifiable exactions of fees snd taxes;
sll of which have brought demands
upon clubs to take appropriate ac
tion to end such conditions: snd
Whereas, It la the opinion of this
conference thst all state border sta
tions are needless so far as non-
oommerclsl vehicles are concerned
snd should be abolished except In
those Instances where special condi
tion require the maintenance of such
stations In order to afford protection
to agriculture or to the public health
"Now, therefore, be It resolved, that
the membera of this conference be
aggressive In their opposition to all
Dorner stations airecttng tr.e non
commercial car, except as noted above
and that where such stations must
be msintalned for the reasons given
that those officials responsible there
for be required to see to It that their
employes and assistants deal with the
touring motorist with the utmost
courtesy and consideration, snd mskc
such Inspections as little objection

the special conditions which require
their mslntensnce.
"Be It further resolved, that to
obtain the above objectives appeals
be made to the state leglslaturea of

NEW YORK. (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.
Of 4,681 persons lynched In the
United States from 1883 to 1935, In

The average enlisted strength of the

were played and refreshments served.
Members responded excellently to

ASHLAND, Oct. 38. (Spl.) 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.
The checka were wrltton on the
Capitol National bank of Sacramento,
