Charity Clearing House.

Having found these cases so worthy OF
help the association straightway sent
seven professional investigators to the Tree
bread depot 10 use IT as "A sort OF clearing
house tor finding faniiies worthy OF its
support and aid.
Dur.ng the time the depot Is open daily,
from until 4 80 o'clock, these investi-
gators were busy taning names ana
addresses and gathering natural Tor

lies. the members OF winch are TOO modes.
to ASK for heap. but VINO are in such dire
straits that they are wiling to accept
the sort of charity being dispensed by
the Tree br, al depot.
Mrs. 4. Crichton, who spends her time
working FOR the ASSOCIATION IN the neigh
borhood along Elizabeth and Mulberry
stress. was one VINO spent the afternoon
at the free bread depot. When she mad
been there for an hour and seen and in
tegviewea some % tine women wno tdiicd
for bread she didn't hesitate to praise the
work beng uone and to agree 10 the

From Il hasty computation made by the
investigate 1t appeared that 30 per cent.

Dor Market Unimpro~e
''Tnere has been no Improvement in the
labor market" said one OF the associa-
tons workers. during the last month
am inclined to think that instead OF there
being 1925, 900 men and women out OF work
in New York to-day, AS there were four
weeks ago there are now 100000. From
personal observation and study | am sure
that there are 1T least 100000 persons
out of work in the coax and SUIT trade
alone"

Klamath Falls
Strong for Boosting

"It was some booster meeting"
This is the way Secretary Lewis
Wylde of the klamath Chamber of
Commerce spoke of the big tri-
county meeting held in Medford Tues
day night. says the Northwestern.
Mr. Wylde, A. A. Bellman, Percy
Evans and Fred Houston returned
last night from this gathering. The
others remained to look after busi-
ness and visit in the Rogue rivet
town.
That it was the greatest booster
meeting ever held in southern Ore
gon is the unanimous verdict of the
four returning delegates out of the
fifteen who went from here.
Everybody was enthused with the
booster spirit and the result of this
gathering will be worth many dollars
to this entire section of the state"
said Secretary Wylde. 1T was the
general feeling that klamath, Jack
son and Josephine should get togeth-
er in q general plan of boosting the
scenic beauties of the country, and
instead of each community working
for its own selfish ends, all commun-
tiles will work in the future for the
joint community interests. In this
way 1t is believed great good will
be accomplished for the entire coun-
try. One of the objects of the COM
bination spirit Is to boost Crater Lake
by every possible means and the tour
ist travel to 1t and the other scenic
beauties of southern Oregon"
Mr.. Wylde said large delegation
from that part of the country is ex-
pected to come here early in June,
when delegates from each publicity
body will get together with view
to mapping out further plans for the
work started at the Medford meeting.
The plan as now outlined Is to form
league of some sort with the sec
tions to be benefited represented by
the best booster talent to be found,
this league to work in harmony and
cooperation toward boosting tourist
travel into klamath. Jackson and
Josephine counties.

Twenty Years Ago

was 60 pairs OF lenses, all one size,
all flat, none for rimless, none for
eyeglasses.
1t was enough then. Times are
different now. Optical science has
progressed. To meet present de-
mands we have now more than 25
times as many lenses, in four sizes,
for rimless and inserted, flat and deep
toric
We have contracted for and have
on the way complete set of edge
grinding. cutting and drilling ma
chimes, as well as a much greater
stock of rough lenses, whereby pre-
scriptions can be filled the same day,
whether tories. compounds or simple
spheres, big or little.
This added convenience, together
with our constantly growing practice,
bringing increased skill, should ap-
peal to those who visit out-of-town
opticians at considerable expense OF
time and money, of whom We ask q
visit and trial. II. l.. WHITED,

of safety.
AS we went along We came to the
concrete mixer. This is little out
of the ordinary. The engineer sits in
his little room among his levers, he
pulls one and the machine backs up
few feet. another lever and the
coarse concrete comes forth and men
spread it out, and another lever and
the surfacing comes forth. No wheel
barrows, no long distances, the men
standing beside the machine and
shoveling, as everything is within
reach. The haul is done by a big
road engine which hauls a carload at
a trip.
The mixer and its crew of men
complete $50 feet of paving a day.
That is not the average to date. but
it has been done. Like a heavy
freight, it does not go a mile min
ute as soon as ordered, but it takes
time to get 1t in motion.
On leaving the mixer behind we
proceeded to ride over the new road

keeping the sand wet so the cement
sets under dampness. which keeps it
