Medf0rd Aviator
Had Narrow Escape

According to a letter received by
Mr.. and Mrs. T. E. Scantlin of Med
ford from their son Tom, who has
lately gone to France, that young
man had a narrow escape just before
leaving America. Tom was in an avi
alton camp in the east, and was
given his first French machine to
operate, which is guided with a
10y" stick instead of wheel. When
several thousand feet in the air he
started to descend rapidly and sud
denly realized he was suspended in
air with the machine falling from
him. He had forgotten to strap him
self in. Fortunately gust of wind
halted the machine a moment and he
fell into it and scrambling into his
seat quickly adjusted the harness,
making a safe landing. 1t was mar
row escape and if Tom had not KEEP:
his head the results might have been
serious.

Japan viii Reward
For Use OF Motors

Japan has offered every purchaser
of an, automobile or truck in the
empire $500 toward the purchase
price, and $3.50 yearly to help pay
for the maintenance of the vehicle,
IN exchange for the privilege of speed
lily Communicating motors when the
occasion demands, according to ad-
vices received by the foreign sales
department of the B. F. Goodrich
Rubber company.
This subsidy is intended by the
imperial government not only for the
quick requisitioning of cars, but also
to promote their use and to eventual
ly encourage their manufacture with
in the empire. This aggressive action
Ly Japan has still another import
ant function. Horses are scarce In
Nippon and most of the trucking Is
by men who pull two-wheel carts
most of the passenger traffic on the
streets and highways is by means
of jinrikishas. Labor is in strong
demand and more general use Of
motor vehicles would release thous-
ands of men for work in factories.
/ Japan's action will add impetus to
the export of American made cars
and tires, says Goodrich officials. It
will be several years before Japan
will be able to produce anywhere
near her own consumption of motor
vehicles and accessories. One of
these has made about a half a dozen
cars and another is assembling parts
imported from America. Two large
Japanese ship building companies are
erecting automobile factories.

May Use Klamath
Pine For Airplanes

Word has reached klamath county
that pine lumber will be used by
the war department in the construc-
tion of certain parts of airplanes,
and the probabilities are that large
quantities of klamath pine will be
utilized for this purpose.
1t is claimed that Kenneth Ross,
a special representative of the air
Flame service will visit that section
Of country along with other lumber
centers in the near future TO see
about securing supplies of timber.
The pine now being sought is for
wing beams of the airplanes, it is
claimed, and it is necessary to have
the highest grade of the lumber in
strips 20 feet long and about four
feet wide.

Deafness in Soldiers.

A novel cure for deafness in SOL
diers has been found By British doc
tors, who believe in the power Of sug-
gestion to accomplish much that their
medical skill cannot. Much of the
deafness at the front is hysterical,
born of the soldiers fear Of going deaf
from the incessant pounding of the ex-
ploslves about him.
Many times these men cannot be
cured by direct treatment, aud 1t is
then that the unique system is brought
into play. They are given very slight
anesthesla and tiny lncision made In
the skin behind an ear. Then an iron
plate is hammered violently close to
the ear. In almost every instance
where the deafness is hyterical the pa
tents regain their hearing immediate
ly, convinced that serious and there
fore helpful operation has been per-
formed. ..-- .------

What is the attitude Of the French
people toward the Americans? The
French are a very polite people, and,
no matter what their inmost thoughts
may be, they are not likely to express
an opinion to an American other than
complimentary. But the children of
all the world are guileless. They can
be depended upon to express in public
the private opinions of their parents.
The children of France are crazy about
Americans in uniform, so we guess
what their parents feel for us.
On one occasion I was passing pub
lie school with another Red Cross wo-
man physician in uniform and a
French visiting nurse. The school had
Just been dismissed, and group Of
young boys came trooping out. In
stantly we were surrounded, and after
q seconds parley young Mlrabeau Of
about twelve years, the spokesman Of
the group, stepped forward, bowed
formally and delivered an address on
Lafayette and America, which was
punctuated by the applause of his ad-
miring compatriots. The American
Eaglet could not possibly have scream
ed louder in the United States on the
Fourth of July than it did on that back
street of a munltion town in France.

death though sudden was very peace
full. She was up and walked out in

ed at 9:20, when her breath appeared
to grow weaker and weaker until
she peacefully passed away without
struggle at little after 8 o'clock
Thursday morning. The funeral was
conducted by the Baptist pastor, she
being a member of that church. The
interment was made in the beautiful
cemetery at Salem and the beautiful
floral offerings bespoke the many
friends she had gathered in her short
life with these kind people. Those

into their hearts as well as their
hem es. Mr.. and Mrs, Reynolds are
