MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 19. 1939. PAGE SEVEN I I Y .1 TV a i rn lYlrS. LathrOD Describes IriP Meteorological Report To Women's World Conclave By Maude Pool. Big Applegate, Oct. 19. (Spl.) Vivid descriptions of customs and events in foreign countries were given local people Satur day night by Mrs. A. T. Lathrop of Central Point, at an open Grange meeting at Upper Applegate. Mrs. Lathrop was a delegate to the conference of the Associated Country Women of the World in London. As an outstanding incident of I the trip, she named the manifes tation of friendliness of the Eng lish women toward the German women. This was obvious at a meeting of 10,000 English wom en before whom a German wom an appeared to extend greetings, Mrs. Lathrop said. Even be fore the German neighbor had a chance to speak, she was given tremendous applause which be came an ovation that continued for many minutes and left the speaker emotionally upset to such an extent that for days afterward she couldn't speak of the incident without tears. Norwegian Women. Mrs. Lathrop, a native of Eng land, brought a mental picture of women in Norway, where a man's wife is his greatest assel; she helps care for the animals and plants the grain. In the meantime making up a six months' supply of long-lasting bread. The Norwegians buy lit tle, their farms are small, and their simplicity of living offsets their hard work, the delegate explained. Their young learn the rudiments of farming, and a woman is in control of one of the largest marketing organiz ations in the world. That the world conference truly was a farm woman's meet ing was shown in the fact that soil fertility was one of the topics provoking the most dis cussion. In England the farm ers, too, complain of hard times. Mrs. Lathrop related, giving the following figures on taxes from that country: A citizen pays $6 a horse power for car licenses. Gaso line or "petrol" sells for 41 cents an Imperial gallon (five quarts). All gasolone Is commandeered by the government, she said. which obliges a business man to move his residence within walk- Sew S& .no g Children's i SPARE your child much of the misery of sniffling, sneezing, and smothery nostrils due to colds by Inserting Mentholatum In his nostrils.

On an income over S7.500 a super tax requires $3.50 out of every ?5. All radios are taxed $2.50. Dole Not Disdained. England does not look with disdain upon the dole. Mrs. La throp said, but regards it as unemployment i n s u r ance in which the employer, employe and the state contribute. Prime Minister Chamberlain was among those to welcome delegates at the opening of the conference. Mrs. Lathrop out lined briefly the aims ot the A.C.W.W., and named as one of the interesting features the at tendance of many European women in native costumes. Supplementing her talk. Mrs. Lathrop showed several reels of motion pictures, giving her audi ence a first-hand glimpse of old England with its pastoral scenes, stone houses hundreds of years old, and immense flower gar dens for which it is noted. And neither were her pictures with out a glimpse of tea parties, without which no Englander is happy. She also pictured agricultural and stock shows, with glimpses of the king and queen and Mrs. Chamber lain in attendance, views of water sports on .the Thames, as well as pictures of her personal friends and her sis ter, Mrs. T. H. Varcoe. She in cluded scenes from the silver tea given in her honor at the Effie Birdscye home at Foots creek in April, views of Cor- vallis and Now York, and glimpse of the coast of France. It was though the courtesy of the American Fruit Growers as sociation at Medford that she was equipped with a motion pic ture camera. Following her lecture, ladies of the Grange served lunch, after which the Grange held its regular session. Mrs. Lathrop will speak at the Applegate com munity hall November 6 as a guest of the Applegate exten sion unit.

(By Susan Vilas.) Yesterday, Medford business men took notice of the Medford Junior high school's fine spirit. The students had one of the noisiest parades In Medford's history, in anticipation of the game today between Grants Pass and Medford, at 8 p. m. on the high school field. The snappy drum corps led the parade, followed by the band and a large serpentine of students led by two peppy yell leaders. Last came the noise floats. There was a contest for these. The float having the most noise and the best adver tising won a free pass for each student of his or her home room. Rooms 28 and 20 turned out with the winning floats.

The Jackson County Chamber of Commerce will have charge of the program following the dinner. A general invitation is ex tended to the public. Finding another U. S. weath er bureau radiograph sent up by the Medford station was report ed today by Mrs. Leslie Casey of Butte Falls. The little box with its delicate instruments was sent to the manufacturer as directed, Mrs. Casey wrote. The manufacturer pays $1 to $20 for each box returned, the reward depending on the condition of the radiograph. The box was found by Mr. Casey and was in excellent con dition as it had not touched the ground, Mrs. Casey said. It was dangling from the branch of a tree, its torn parachute and broken balloon still being attached to it. Mr, Casey found the box on October 5 eight or ten miles above Butte Falls while he was on a hunting trip, his wife stated. The box was sent up by the weather bureau on September 21 and bore the letters "C. R. N" initials of C. R. Nelson, a weather bureau observer. This is the fourth radiograph from the Medford station known to be found since the added ob servation service was begun here September 1. One box a day, about midnight, is released, a balloon carrying the instru ment to an altitude of 70,000 to 180,000 feet. As the instrument ascends it automatically regis ters meteorological data and the information is transmitted by radio to the weather bureau office where it is automatically recorded on a graph.
