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

of the trips made to San Fran

the wedding.

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

more interested in economy and
efficiency in government than
men.
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.
