The ailing gambler is cur rently in Leavenworth serv ing a five-year prison sen tence for tax evasion. Federal Judge Archie O. Dawson held that Costello had willfully misrepresented and concealed material facts" in obtaining citizenship Sept. 10, 1925. The government claimed that Costello became a citizen fraudulently by concealing his bootlegging operations and a 1915 conviction for carry ing a concealed weapon. The action by the court Fri day paves the way for the government to proceed with its deportation plans. U.S. paper money was first issued in its present size on Aug. 7, 1928.

In that lies the hope that X-ray treatment will benefit Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. The damage is to the chemi cal balance among the cell's working parts. If the balance is disrupted enough, the cell no longer is capable of repro ducing. It dies without off spring. That is what you want to do to cancer cells. But you must not do it to normal cells on any large scale.

And all the normal cells in the pathway of the X-ray beam are subjected to the same degree of radiation that reaches the cancer cells. Therefore, you must hold the dosage below the level where it will damage the nor mal cells beyond any chance of coming back, but at the same time keep it high enough to "kill" cancer (.ells. This can be done because cancer cells are more sensitive to X-rays than normal cells. Can Concentrate Rays X-rays can be concentrated upon the cancerous tumor by sending them into the body along more than one . path way. The tumor is caught in a cross-fire and the intensity of the X-rays is multiplied by the number of pathways used. But .the normal cells of any one pathway are not sub jected to an intensity so great as to destroy them. All this requires the most precise kind of calculations. Not only do the X-ray beams have to be aimed with the utmost accuracy; the dosages have to be worked out to extreme fineness. There is no point in saving a person from cancer, if you're going to dam age him beyond repair with X-rays. Auction of Pig Nets $434 for Fund A total of S434 was donat ed at an auction of a pig at the Midway auction yard Fri day afternoon. The money will go to the Jackson County Heart Fund drive, according to Mrs. Col lier Buffington, Medford, drive chairman. The same pig will be up for bid again at the Crater Li ons club auction over KBES TV at 10 p.m. Thursday. The Jackson County Heart Fund will receive contributions through the auction. The name of each person making a donation will be posted as the donation is phoned in, Mrs. Buffington said. Bill Bray, auction yard manager, donated the pig.

It is easy to recognize. Stemmed pieces have three faces about the stem. Cov ered pieces such as compotes have the knobs on the covers formed with three faces. Though all of it was appar ently produced by a Pitts burgh,, Pa., manufacturer, re productions have been made in recent years of some of the pieces, particularly of the stemware. And, at least some of the reproductions have been so skillfully made, that only an expert could tell the difference. As originally produced, pieces in this pattern were al ways either of clear glass or partly frosted. Judging both from some of the pieces that VALUE MAY INCREASE FOR OLD PAINTINGS An important thing to re- ance picked up a few weeks member about paintings that ago for $20.

Garland, who died in 1940 at the age of 80, is best known for his novels, such as "A Daughter of the Middle Border" which won the Pulit zer Prize in 1922. None of them, however, command much of a price in the first edition market, not even half that of "Main - Travelled Roads" most of which he wrote in Boston where he moved after selling a North Dakota mining claim. A copy of that work may be found bound in paper wrappers or in either blue or grey cloth, and if in good con dition, it should bring from $15 to $30.

However, that does not mean that if you come across a piece that is in color, it is necessarily spurious. It could very well be from a set that was made on special order, or it may have ben from a set that was produced in a year for which no catalogue has been found,. In any case, so long as such a piece was not a reproduction and that would be most unlikely it would definitely be of even greater value than the regu lar kind. The two most valuable pieces I have come across in this pattern are a biscut jar and a lamp. The covered jar, nine by five inches, brought a price of $225. The lamp the three-face design was about the stand below the bowl was purchased for $150. the frame Nonetheless, after having it a week or so, the picture be- gan to get under his skin, se much that he decided to look up the name of the painter. It was signed by a W. L. Met calf. What he learned wasn't so that done in the last ten years of his life, and following his removal to Los Angeles, was in the field of psychic phe nomena. He wrote a great deal on the subject, and what he had to say is of genuine value, es pecially since "he made every effort to maintain a strictly scientific outlook. He was evidently successful in his at tempts because, up to the time of his death, he is said t. have remained an agnostic, so far as his personal survival was concerned. Apropos of Garland's writ ings in that field, it is well to point out that almost all books on the subject, so long as written by reasonably compe tent people and in some cases by authors who had no competence whatever have an' increasing value, or at least hold their own.

THREE SWIMMINQ POOLS (On for Childraa) TWO ACRE RECREATION AREA Federal Savings, Loan Association Sees Fifth Decade One of Medford's oldest businesses, the Jackson Coun ty Federal Savings and Loan association, celebrates its 50th anniversary this month. The company was founded in 1909, as the Jackson Coun ty Building and Loan associa tion. In 1921, the association was moved to larger quar ters, at 30 North Central ave. and in 1932, it was moved to the present location. The name was changed to Jackson County Federal Savings and Loan association when it was 'federalized in 1937. "In one of the company's first financial statements to the stockholders, in 1917, total assets were recorded as $49,000," W. J. Warner, presi dent of the association, said. "In our most recent finan cial statement, published last December, total assets amounted to almost $15 mil lion. The association's growth has been proportionate to the growth of Jackson county it self, and we are proud of been able to make to that growth." Includes Leaders Since its beginning, the Jack son County Federal board of directors has included many community leaders. Serving on the current board are Glenn O. Taylor, W. J. War ner, H. J. Field, John H. Pletsch, John P. Moffatt, Seth M. Bullis, and E. H. Sing- master. , Glenn Taylor, now in his 31st year on the board, re calls the early Jackson Coun ty days as "full of hard work with good people." "Back in those days, we were all working hard to make our area prosper, and we dreamed of how wonder ful things would be someday. But our hopes were nothing compared to the real progress Jackson county has actually made since then." "Oregon had been a state for 50 years, almost to the day, when Jackson County Federal was founded," War ner noted. "The past 50 years have been full of growth and development, and we're sure the next 50 wil be even bet ter. To do our part, we're living up to our own, 'Build ing With Jackson County' slo gan. Plans for our new build ing -at Main and Front sts. will soon be complete." Even a full moon gives only about 1.4655,000 as much light as the sun.
