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.

business is far enough away that

56 cents on every S5 of income.
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.

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.
