Grape Ph. 2-4100 women volunteered for one act. Without saying a word, and only holding one end of a hand kerchief while the doctor held the other, they directed him to the right spot by thoughts only. Mrs. William McAllister's thoughts were powerful enough to direct the doctor to the ap proximate place, but not clear enough to help him find the se lected person. Mrs. Darell Huson tried next, with no better lucK, but when Mrs. Clinton Kendall tried her hand, or rather her mind, at the stunt, he went with out hesitation and stood beside Mrs. Stephen Nye, whom the committee had selected for the test. Previously he had indicat ed Mrs. Nye's sister, Mrs. Vir ginia Sherwood, who sat next to Mrs. Nye. There were about 18 volun teers for the hypnosis test, but the smart Dr. Polgar can soon tell who is and who is not a good subject, and many were soon dis missed. Among those who volun teered, but whom the hypnotist failed with, were Mrs. Robert Hart, Mrs. Phil Brainerd, Miss Kave Crawford and Dwight Houghton. Dr. Polgar admitted he could not hypnotize certain nersons. and readily said the sub ject must have an open mind and be willing to cooperate. During the dinner one table of guests went off into one of those arguments caused by every one's inability to remember ex act names. The Gus Newburys started the whole thing by dis agreeing on which Koosevelt son was elected to congress from New York state. She said Frank lin Jr., he said Elliott. George Lower, new editor of the Med ford News agreed with Mr. New bury and offered to wager 50 cents. Before long every person up and down the table had been polled, with no one agreeing, and then the argument prog ressed to the tables on either side. Mrs. Rawles Moore finally cast the deciding vote by saying she positively knew it was Franklin Jr., but then Mrs. New bury found she had won a hol low victory, for her lawyer hus band decided to keep the stakes, which he had been holding, as his fee for legal advice which he maintained he had given. Indifference to government seems to be as prevalent among students as it is witn tne oldsters. Lasti week Medford senior high school students elected officers for the coming year, with only slightly more than 50 per cent ol tne students voting. Young people of St. Mark's church aired their personal grievances against tne opposite sex in a oattlc of tne sexes ' fol lowing church services last week. While the Rev. George R. nnlctnr nnrl )l i o ttrifat Irnnt iivim each young person was allowed to speak for two minutes telling what tricks and traits of the op posite sex annoyed them most. The boys objected to too much lipstick, said girls refused to date unless the boy had a car.

The gown is of heavy brocaded satin with very full bustle skirt and many puffs and shirrings. It was an exact replica of that worn by Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes when she married President Hayes, with the material coming from the same loom. Mrs. Ul rich recalls how her mother told of the trips made to San Fran cisco by stage in preparation for the wedding. .... v.

When BPWC members enter tained Mrs. Irene Taylor, fellow "beep" from Portland, at a small dinner Wednesday night before the lecture she gave on the Hoover report, presentation of a corsage brought up the question of how to wear flow ers, up or down. In spite of the fact that florists and other ex perts say that the flowers should be worn with the stems and rib bons down, and the flower faces nearest the wearer's face, nine out of 10 women wear them up side down. Mrs. Tavlor said there must be some reason for this reaction, and decided that women must believe the flowers blend with the lines of their costumes better that way, or else ease in pinning was the reason. Only a small audience heard Mrs. Taylor's excellent talk on the Hoover commission and its report on reorganization of fed eral government and more than one was heard to remark that, judging from the preponderance of women, the women must be yoeeTa.

Speaking of the present in efficiencies in federal govern ment, Mrs. Taylor told how some bureaus use three different bookkeeping systems, because there is no universal system; how 40 different governmental agencies give some type of med ical service; how the postoffice Is run by laws made in the days of Benjamin Franklin; how one bureau borrows money from an other and pays interest and how there are so many tons of rec ords that they would fill six buildings the size of the Penta gon and how the rental space these records "sit on" costs $29, 000.000 a year. Mrs. Taylor made a point of the fact, however, that these conditions exist not because the employees are cascals but be cause they are just ordinary peo ple struggling along with an outdated and inefficient system. that has no resemblance to the methods of big business. To illustrate that many per sons not in governmental of fices are just as innefficient as those in, she told how a Portland lawyer, settling the estate of a client, was going through the household effects. He found a large box, carefully wrapped and safely stowed away. It was labeled "String too short to use." O. S.
