If -f i
Heiearch on Vitiligo
Those thousands of persons
who suffer from vitiligo with
its big white patches of skin
will be glad
to hear that
at a recent
c o n g ress of
E n d o c rinol
ogy, , held at
Cop enhagen,
there was dis
cussion of a
substance now
called only
i)K M.VAT.KZ Aipna - Marl,
which, when given to a man
or woman, quickly causes all
of the skin to darken. Dr.
Aaron B. Lerner, of the Yale
University School of Medi
cine, has been working with
the substance, which resem
bles chemically the ACTH
which comes from the pitui
tary gland, and causes the
adrenal glands to secrete cor
tisone. I hope people will not
write me asking that I send
them the drug because I have
none of it. I mention it here
only to give hope to the many
people who keep writing me
about their vitiligo. This is
not a dangerous disease, but
the white patches make peo
ple ashamed and embarrassed.
Need for Making
Cleareut Diagnosis
Dr. R. A. Jensen, Professor
of Psychiatry and Pediatrics
at the University of Minne
sota, while speaking to the
London Conference on the Sci
entific Study of Mental De
ficiency, emphasized the need
for making of more exact dif
ferential diagnosis. Why? Be
cause many a child who is at
first thought to be mentally
deficient, turns out to be emo
tionally disturbed, or not ma
turing quite as fast as chil
dren commonly do, or suffer
ing from some nervous dis
ease; or he is deaf, or unable
to speak, or has some here
ditary defect in body chemis
try which causes injury to be
done to his brain, or he has
some defect in one of the body
glands, like the thyroid gland.
Sometimes by making an ex
act diagnosis sometning can
be done to help the child
Dr. Eleanor M. Creak, of
London, said that quite a few
of the children who are sent
to a hospital for mentally de
fective children are really
psychotic. This becomes obvi
ous as the children grow into
their teens. They prove to be
bright enough but they are
erratic and unpredictable and
difficult in their behavior.
This discussion will please
many a mother who feels
sure that her child is not feeble-minded.
She has seen signs
of intelligence that the l.Q.
tests have not revealed.
Medford Students
Named to Group
Three Medford Hifih school
students, Jerry Gastineau,
Jim Stever, and Mike Phil
lips, have been named to a
high school advisory commit
tee to the slate attorney gen
eral on crime prevention.
The Medford High school
committee will join similar
groups in high schools
throughout the state in aiding
the Attorney General's Exper
imental Program for the Pre
vention of Crime (EPPOC).
The EPPOC program, first
of its kind in the nation, was
inaugurated last spring after
a statewide crime conference
called by Attorney General
Robert Y. Thornton and at
tended by 150 experts in all
field related to crime preven
tion. Out of this grew the
citizen's advisory committee
on crime prevention, of which
the high school groups will be
a part. Recommendations of
the committee will be coordi
nated and put into action by
crime prevention division in
the state department of jus
tice.
First duties of the high
school committees will in
clude enumerating all agen
cies in their communities
which are engaged in some
form of crime prevention, and
evaluating their effectiveness
in the prevention of crime and
delinquency.

'Lefty' Gomez Tells
Of Experiences As
New York Yankee
New York-IUPD-Arlhur God
frey, 56, will undergo minor
surgery this week for the re
moval of a fatty tumor on his
back, his office reported today.
Vernon (Lefty) Gomez en
tertained 182 members of the
Rogue Valley Knife and Fork
club with stories about his
baseball experiences Thurs
day night at the Rogue Valley
Country club.
Gomez is a former star
pitcher who played for the
New York Yankees. He re
called stories collected during
his 14 years with the Yankees,
one year with the Boston
Braves and managerial ten
ures in South American, Cuba
and the U.S.
Gomez said that one record
he holds is for the longest
home run ever hit in Yankee
stadium. "Few people know
about this," he said. "Jimmy
Foxx hit the 460-foot homer
off of me," he informed the
gathering.
'Fool the Opposition'
Gomez recalled that he was
19 years old when he joined
the Yankees. "I was known as
the worst hitter to ever ap
proach home plate," he said
"Mv teammates would tell me
to fool the opposition, and hit
a foul, he related.
He told of one occasion
when the newspapers printed
a humorous headline regard
ing his hitting ability. "In a
world scries game I walked to
start a seven - run Yankee
rally. The next day's paper
was headlined 'Gomez finally
shows his power , he said,
Other stories Gomez told
were about his experiences
with Babe Ruth, Joe Di
Maggio, Yogi Bcrra and other
Yankee stars.
He told of one of Ruth's
more famous remarks. Ruth
was asked to pose with Presi
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt in
1932. "Everyone knew Roose
velt but Ruth," Gomez re
called. When the Babe posed
for the picture, he said to
Roosevelt, "Okay kid, do you
want it shaking hands or with
my arm around you," Gomez
related.
Dog Control To
Be On Ballot
Jackson County Clerk Mar
vin Madden reminded voters
Friday that a dog control pro
posal will appear on the gen
eral election ballot Tuesday,
Nov. 8.
It will appear at least once
on every ballot, and In some
precincts it will appear twice,
Madden said.
Precincts in which it will
appear twice are 1 through
13 in the municipal bound
aries of Ashland and in 19, 21,
24, 27, 31, 57, 58B, 83, 65, 66,
74, 79, 81, 82, 83 and 88.
The measure will read just
as it did during the May 20
primary-"For dogs running at
large -yes,, and tor dogs
running at large-no."
In the primary, Jackson
county residents voted for dog
control, and as a result dogs
must now be either tied, muz
zled or under the control of
their master at all times. Since
then, petitions were submit
ted to revote on the issue in
an attempt to repeal action
taken at the primary.
If voters wisli to have
dogs running at large, they
should vote yes. Madden said,
and if they wish to keep dog
control in effect, they should
vote no.
Dog control in Medford,
which voted separately last
May, will not be affected no
matter which way the county
wide vote goes.
Small Worlds

The Boat Shells Are Juii .other obstructions, holding
Right for Water Babies tenaciously to their support
If there could be such by means of the powerful
things in the seas as "water
babies" they most certainly
would use the so-called "boat
shells" as a means of travel
ing from place to place.
The shell is called "boat
shell" for a very obvious rea
son, for there is a tiny "half
deck" in each shell, partially
enclosing one end. Some call
it the slipper shell; they mis
take the little partition as the
tongue of a slipper. Another
common name that suggests
the baby cradle idea is
"candle shell." This strikes a
sentimental chord in many
folks, and the name is delight
fully descriptive.,
The slipper, baby-foot or
cradle shell usually is marked
prominently, with brown
streaked with dull while, or
even an off shade of purple.
The inside, as well as the
liny "half-deck," is shiny and
as smooth as porcelain. The
little half deck extends near
ly one half of the length of
the interior; beginning at the
stern end.
Normally, these shells at
tack themselves to rocks or
muscle that forms the mantle
of the animal. Regardless of
the strength or ferocity of
pounding waves and boiling
surf, the little fellows hang
on; their shells protecting the
soft, inner bodies. In this re
spect they are almost turtle-
like, with the exception, of
course, that there are no legs,
The shells will conform to
the irregularities of the rock
to which they are attached.
Very often the shell attaches
itself to oilier shells, or even
to the backs of other slipper
shells and will, if necessary,
grow one alop another until
tile bollom shell must be very
uncomfortable witli the added
load on its back.
This method of support
causes a great many odd
shapes as each shell fashions
itself to its own support, mak
ing it impossible to find two
shells lhal are anywhere near
the same shape.
A severe storm, with waves
that may reach down deep
into the sea, will dislodge mil
lions of the little boat shells,
and eventually will wash
