GAUDY AUTO CARRIES
E
TO TREASURE ISLAND
A brilliantly painted automobile
advertising Oregon was In Medford
for a short time today en route to
San Francisco and the international
exposition on Treasure island. It was
being driven by Mrs. T. W. Zimmer
man of Salem, who was accompanied
by Miss Beatrice deLacy of Portland
and Miss Katherlne Qunnell of Salem,
originator of the advertising -car idea.
In beautiful oil painting the fol
lowing scenic attractions of the state
are depicted: Crater lake, Oregon
Coast highway, Mount Hood, Colum
bia river, Wallowa lake. Also painted
on the car Is a picture of Bonneville
dam, the Pendleton roundup and the
Portland Rose festival.
Mrs. Zimmerman, the former Hen
rletta B. Martin of this city, ex
plained that the automobile adver
tising Idea was endorsed by many
organizations throughout the state,
Including the real estate association,
many chambers of commerce and
several women's clubs and organiza
tions. Bhe said the car left Portland
last night, after being christened by
Mrs. Charles A. Sprague. wife of the
governor.

SPEEDY ACTION TO
KEEP NEUTRALITY
(Continued rrota Page One.)
candor, that darker periods may
lie ahead.
The embargo provision of the
neutrality Uw, he declared, "so
aters the historic foreign policy of
the United States that it Impairs
the peaceful relations of the United
States with foreign nations."
The "crux" of the Issue, he said,
was repeal of the embargo, which
forbids shipments of munitions to
combatant nations, and a "return
to International law."
Non-Partlaruhip Urged
The president took occasion, too,
to renew his plea for non-partlsan-ahtp
during the present Interna
tional crisis and to reassure the
nation of his belief that America
could keep from being embroiled In
Europe's conflict.
"Let no man or group In any
walk of life," the president said,
"assume exclusive protectorate over
the future well-being of America
because I conceive that regardless
of the party or section the mantle
of peace and of patriotism In wide
enough to cover us all.
"Let no group assume the ex
clusive label of the peace 'bloc'.
We all belong to it."
Mr. Roosevelt added that "in my
candid Judgment" the United States
would "succeed In these efforts' to
keep out of war.
Policy Changes Listed
When and if the embargo Is scrap
ped, the president said there were
other phases of policy "reenforclng
American safety" that should be con
sidered. He listed:
Restricting American merchant
vessels, so far as possible, from en
tering danger tones.
Preventing American citizens from
traveling on belligerent vessels.
Requiring foreign buyers to take
transfer of title In this country to
commodities bought by belllgerenU.
(Cash and carry).
Preventing extension of war credits
to belligerents.
Two other objectives, the chief
executive said, have been attained
amply undor existing law. These are
the regulation of collections of funds
in this country for belligerents and
the maintenance of a license system
covering foreign trade In arms, am
munition and Implements of war.
Method Not Stipulated
The president left to congress, how
ever, a choice of methods by which
these "safeguards" should be set up
"so long as the method chosen
will meet the needs of new and
changing day to day situations and
dangers."
"To those who say that this pro
gram would Involve a step toward
war on our part," the chief executive
asserted, "I reply that It offers far
greater safeguards than we now pos
sess or have ever possessed to pro
tect American lives and property
from danger.
"It Is a positive program for giving
safety. This means less likelihood of
incidents and controversies which
tend to draw us Into conflict, as
they did In the last war.
"There lies the road to peace."
After relating steps already taken
to strengthen the nation's defenses,
Mr. , Roosevelt said he saw no need
for additional legislation nor for
further executive action under his
proclamation of a limited state of
national emergency.
Mr. Roosevelt said the executive
branch of the government had done
Its utmost, within a traditional pot
icy of non -involvement, "to aid In
averting the present appalling war."
Must Lose No Time
"Having thus striven and failed,"
he said, "this government must lose
no time or effort to keep the nation
from being drawn into the war."
Here he predicted Buccess "In these
efforts."
Before closing, the president ex
pressed his desire to be able to "offer
the hope that the shadow over the
world might swiftly pass." But he
said:
"I cannot. The facts compel my
stating, with candor, that darker per
iods may He ahead."
Mr. Roosevelt said the disaster
abroad was not of American making.
nut that "we find ourselves affected
to the core, our currents of commerce
are changing, our minds are filled
with new problems, our position in
world affairs has already been alt
ered."
Must Aid Civilization
A moment later he asserted:
"Fate sems now to compel us to
assume the task of helping to main
tain In the western world a citadel
wherein that civilization may be kept
alive. The peace, the integrity and
the safety of the Americas there
must be kept firm and serene.
Thus the president, for some of
his audience, gave reassurances that
the United States would stand firmly
behind the Monroe doctrine.
His mcssaee also gave his backing
to the neutrality proposals trans
mitted to congress at Its last ses
sion by Secretary Hull.
Before Mr. Roosevelt drove to the
capltol to address the congress called
together only seven weeks after ad-
Journlng the regular session. 17 sen
ators opposed to repeal of the arms
embargo met to plan their strategy
of opposition to revision of the neu
trality act.

BROUGHT UP BY
SCHOOL OUSTER
WILLOUGHBY, Ohio. (UP) Ruth
Irene Adlard, pretty 27-year old
school teacher whose political activi
ties and labor sympathies virtually
have disrupted this quiet commun
ity, has "only begun to fight for
democracy" since her teaching con
tract was not renewed.
The blonde young teacher, who is
so popular here that hundreds of
persons Blgned a petition that she
be retained, first got Into trouble
with the school board last April,
when she was ordered to tell the
rural school board whether she In
tended to continue attacking prom
inent local citizens as "reactionaries"
and "oppressors of labor."
One of her staunchest defenders
was the Rev. Charles F. MacLennan.
pastor of the Willoughby Presbyter-
Ian church.
"The action of the board la ft
gross denial of civil liberties and I
am convinced that the fight for
democracy In Lake county has Just
begun," Miss Adlard said.
"No board member ever has found
a complaint against my record as
a teacher. The board Is not' renewing
my contract because not to do so Is
in the interests of the political and
economic bosses who have dominated
the county for many years!"
John T. Roberts. American Legion
commander of eight northeastern
Ohio counties, has been a leader in
the fight to oust Miss Adlard, who
had taught the third grade here for
more than seven years.

TOURISTS TO WEST
SALEM, Ore. (UP) An Increase
In travel from the east to the p.
clflc coast because of the war la
Europe waa forecast by the travel
department of the stats highway
commission.
The highway department, basing
its opinion on the report of travel
agencies In the eaat, predicted that
many thousands of Americans who
usually go to Europe would turn to
the western section of the United,
States instead.
Increase In travel to this coast
waa noted already this year, in many
cases states In the east and middle
west sending twice as many tourists
as In the year before. The gain la
expected to continue through the
winter and into next year.
The travel department believes that
the abrupt interruption of trans
Atlantic travel will Increase the fall
flow of tourists to the Golden Oat
exposition at 8an Francisco and con
sequently to the Pacific northwest.

PASTEURIZED
MILK
Here's Why It
Gives the Real
Scoring Pep
Milk Is the only food that supplies
calcium In sufficient quantities
for the body's well being In s form
readily and efficiently assimilated
by the human system.
Calcium and phosphorus are of
special Importance because they
make up a large part of the min
eral content of milk. Calcium also
Is present In milk In much larger
quantity than In any other food
For example, a pint of milk dallv
will supply almost the entire cal
cium requirement of the average
adult. But It takes nearly twenty
servings of common vegetables
and fruits to satlsry the dally
calcium need.
To assure a safe margin of ral
clum Intake for the growing child,
a quart of milk dally I, often In
dicated. To get an equivalent
amount of calcium In vegetables
which have a high calcium con
tent would require 2V, pounds of
peas, I pound, of cabbage, 10
apples or 10 oranges!
