Strange Stones
Found in Oregon
Crude in Design
by United Press Leased Wire

SALEM, Ore, Sept. 12.-Scient-
lists have definitely decided that the
stones of unusual size and number,
found on the Bruce Cunningham
farm five miles south of here are
Phallic images, indicating that the
west coast thousands of years ago
was inhabited by some prehistoric
race.
The images were removed from
their resting places by tractor and
placed in a pile where they were
first scrutinized by Donegan Wig
gins, an archaeology student at Ore
gon agricultural college.
Virgins reported his belief to
Professor John ID. Horner, director
of historic research for the college,
who is convinced beyond doubt i'll
his own mind that these strange
stones were fashioned thousands of
years ago during the age of Diony-
sian mysteries.
The elongated stones numbered ap
proyimately one hundred and were
arranged i'll an irregular circle about
ten feet in diameter on the brow of
d hill. They We're the only rocks
in the vicinity,
These stones are a crude repre-
sentation of the Phallus, at one time
used by various tribes over the world
as an object of worship, according
to the scientists.

Pasadena Bees
Take Sunday Off
BY United PRESS Leased wire

PASADENA, Cal. Sept. 12.--
PasadenG, along with Brooklyn and
a few other communities has been
called city Of churcles.t
r. T. Ballard, noted for his bloom
ing century plants, believes this cI-
ty is a bit ahead of the rest of the
country, however. Even the bees
take the day off, he reported.
Bees and humming birds clustered
about the plants six days hast week
enjoying the honey-like substance
to be found there. When Sunday
came around, not a bee was in sight
and even the humming birds paid
scant attention to the blossoms.
Ballard thought perhaps the honey
seekers had been surfeited, but on
Monday there they were back
again, as busy as ever.

3 MEN BURNED IN FLORENCE FIRE
Garage And 19 AutOmO- piles Destroyed In
 Blaze
Muscle Shoals Bureau)

FLORENCE, Ala, August 25.-Three young men, Paul Stafford, Wade Bar ker and Cary Timer, are in the hos pital in Florence today suffering from burns sustained Sunday when the Lindsey Gudney garage was destroyed by fire. The men were injured while attempting to save cars from the flames.
 The fire was the most spectacular in many months and due ot the explosion of gasoline and oil the entire interior of the building was in flames when the fire department reached the scene. The building and 19 automobiles was de- stroyed.
 The feed mill of Little and Son in the rear of the garage building was also destroyed.
 Another fire or the day was that of a small building at the Stricklin lum- Der yards which was slightly damaged. The third fire was at o'clock in the afternoon when a building containing baled hay belonging to w. c. Petree and W. M. Richardson was burned. It is estimated that the total losses sus- tained in the three fires will reach approximately $35,000, which was partially covered by insurance. No theory as to the origin of the fires has been advanced.
