Knox, who died in a local hospi tal at 0 p. m. Saturday from injuries she suffered when struck by a bicycle, ridden by John Bergstrom, 16, Friday night, will be held in the Meth odist church at 2:30 p. m. Wed nesday. The Litwiller funeral home is in charge. District Attorney Frank J. Newman and County Coroner Frank Perl were to be in Ash land this afternoon to establish the facts of the fatal accident, which occurred at 7:30 p. m. Friday in front of 125 Wimer street. It was announced that an inquest might be held. Mrs. Knox, wife of the former owner of the Knox Lumber company, died of a basal skull fracture without regaining con sciousness. According to Ash land city police report of the accident, she was walking in the middle of Wimer street to avoid the muddy sidewalk and was struck by young Bergstrom, riding his bicycle down the steep street. The impact oc curred at a dark spot in the road, between corner street lights. The boy told police he didn't see the woman until she fell beneath his bicycle. Neither the bicycle rider nor Mrs. Knox were carrying lights, police said. They added that the accident happened in a very dark section of the steep, slip pery street. Ironically, Mrs. Knox was on an errand of mercy when she was struck. Well-known for her many acts of kindness, she was on her way to see a youngster whom she had learned was a lone "in his home. She planned to take the boy back to her own residence where he could be looked after. Mrs. Knox was born in Still water, Minn., on Oct. 6, 1882. Besides her husband, she is sur vived by four daughters: Mrs, Mary E. Adams of Tustin, Cal., Dorothy N Margaret Louise and Charlotte May, all at home and one son, Walter B.t at home, FINLAND'S PLEA AT GENEVA MEET (continued irom page one) Radio Highlights civic orchestra concert, listed for 6, has been cancelled. They don't need oil on the moon it's dead UP TO a few minutes ago, no poet we know about had written a poem in praise of air a rather basic item in the process of breathing. Shake speare and his fellow craftsmen have insisted they couldn't exist without Chloe, Daphne, and many another blonde, brunette, or redhead minx. Well, they couldn't even sigh without air. Petroleum is another unsung necessity. It's very likely we couldn't live today without pe troleum and the hundreds of services it provides. Obviously, it was once possible. But thar was before oU had filtered into every form of life. Today the difficulties would be extreme. Petroleum powers automo biles and goes into their lac quer. It fuels airplanes and it in the "ink" for skywriting. It shuttles looms and is a part of finished wool and rayon. It's in medicines, beauty creams, candy, candles, floor wax, nail polish, and coffee. It even he--to preserve eggs. Through long years, petiv, leum has become vital to al most everything. If bereft of it, the' world would stop almost as suddenly as if kissed by a comet grow dead as the moon. Knowing this, the industry re alizes its responsibilities to seek future reserves, by explor ation and research for benefit of a world which needs petro leum as it does air.

Calendar tions when he rose to speak. Almost a third of Holsti's speech was taken up with fling ing back quotations from for mer Russian Foreign Commis sar Maxim Litvinoff's speech before the assembly two years j ago, condemning aggression in an attempt to obtain league aid for the Spanish republicans. Slowly and dramatically, the Finnish delegate concluded: 'Gentlemen, do your duty. The Finnish people is doing its duty toward the entire civilized ; world and it is paying with that most precious thing of all its own blood." At the opening session, Karl J. Hambro of Norway, newly elected president of the assem bly, told delegates they must do their utmost to halt the Russian-Finnish war. "We believe the , civilized world, which has already ex pressed its great sympathy for us, will not let us fight alone against an enemy superior in numbers," Holsti said in his address. "Our position as the front line of western civilization per mits us to expect active aid on the part of all civilized na tions. "To all of these nations the Finnish people today appeal." Referring to the "people's" regime proclaimed in Moscow as the government of Finland, he flung back Litvinoff's words of two years ago: "The recognition of rebels as a legitimate government is it self an intervention on their behalf."
