be long and delicate litigation

SPURNS GAYNOR ADVICE
AND A PARK BOARD JOB
Charles D. Lay Refuses TO BE

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT OUT
Long Friction with Commits

Charles Downing Lay refusing TO
be Of subordinate" turn of mind -
Mayor Gaynor advised him 10 be when
he was appointed resigned yesterday
as landscape architect Of the PARK
Board. II was in August. 1911, that
Mr.. Lay was appointed to succeed
Samuel Parsons, ir, vino had been
ousted in the preceding May by The
board on charges brought bv Park
Commissioner Stoycr. Mayor Gaynor
wrote letter to the members of the
board in which he said the new land
scape architect should he of a sub
ordinate" frame of mind.
From the first. Mr.. Lay gave no udl-
cation Of following the Mayors ad-
vice. When seen last night, he said
when reference was made 10 the state
ment of the Mayor:
"Wel. ! am not built that way

pointed two of his private secretaries

Samuel Parsons, jr, was ousted and
an unsuccessful attempt was made TO
have John Beatty. superintendent cf

Those in position to know saw
carly that Commissioner Stover and
Mr.. Lay would soon clash. There was
no outward Indication of warfare. but
the breach continued to widen. Lays
resignation was almost a foregonc con-
clusion.
He refused 10 criticisc Commissioner
Stover last night, but summed up his
experience with the department head
10y saying:
Everybody ia his department OK
cept me did as he wanted them to-"
Referring TO the Park Board, he
added:
The board has sought tn minimize
the importance of the place Of land
scape architect instead OF making it
one Of importance. which it should re-
and which the charter provides 1t
should he. / have nothing against The
three other members Of the board. /

But as q board the tendency has been
to subordinate the place of landscape
architect"
Mr.. Lay has disapproyed many of the
plans of Park Commissioner Stovcr,
who is president Of the board. one of
the first Of these he had refused 10 ac-
cede TO was regarding the Commis-
sioner's plans To make of the centre
plots in upper Seventh avenue the
longest playground in the country.

Of ground hardly eight feet in diameter.
In dissenting, Mr.. Lay told the Com
missioner lie would be installing the

city if he carried the plan out.
Commissioner Stover has sought TO
make IL appear that there was no
trouble between him and Nj. Lay, but
his exasperat ton was SO great last week

No Action as in Life.

The interesting inference drawn from
these cases Of latent life or suspended
animation is that. though vitality can
not be said to have vanished. yet the
organism during all that time Is not
taking food, oxygen or water. II is not
giving out carbon dioxide or water or
other chemical results Of life. II is not
moving Of its own volition. and in the
higher animals both the cardiac and
respiratory activities are In allowance.
Some interesting and successful CT
forts were recently made in the medi-
cal school To revive the apparently dead
heart Of an animal. as explained by Dr.
Alexis Carrel, who lectured before the
students. N about Ave cases out OF ten
the heart Of q chicken took on renewed
energy several hours after death. I'm
mediately aftt. death the heart was
frozen and preserved. Later IT was re-
suscitated by massage.

The Plant Food Problem.
Prof. G. R. Hyslop, OF the state
agricultural college at Corvallis, gave
practical lecture on the Plant Food
Problem" on depleted soils and on
the varieties of crops suited to var
ious kinds Of soil, emphasizing the
necessity of scientific crop rotation
for the object of equalization of soils,
which vary so widely within small
areas in and about Josephine county.
Prof. Hyslop commended the habit
OF planting root crops valuable in
loosening and aerating the soil. Corn,
potatoes, kale and carrots he consid-
ers highly beneficial as are beans and
field peas, as these store up the nitro
gen, as clover and alfalfa.
Comparative values OF barnyard
manure and manufactured fertilizers
showed every advantage in favor of
the former. For conserving the value
OF manures, he advised the purchase
of spreaders, claiming the fertilizer
would reach fourth to a third fur
ther that way Of handling.
The value of poultry droppings over
barnyard manure is fully one-half.
The topic most valuable was that

cerning preparation of soil, selection
of seed, fertilizer or innocuation

eating and cultiyating coming in for
