interpreted as a major factor in the science of human welfare. The problems of disease and the cir cumstances related to it are to the science of modern medicine only the sequel of a long train of social cause and effect.
 e "Medicince, has taught us how important it is to look beyond the result to the cause, not only of human sickness but of those social disorders out of which individual difficulties necessarily arise.
 Democracy looks to the day when these virtues will be required and expected of those who serve the public officially and unoffi- cially. Modern medicine has yet set an exalted example. It has shown the way for us all.
 You whom we honor today have rendered the highest form of apt riotic service during the battles of the World War but even more than that, you deserve the nations thanks for the national service that you have rendered through out your lives"
 At today's presentation of the legions citation Edward A. Hayes, national commander of the legion, praised the true, patriotism and citizenship" of the Mayo brothers.
 Hayes reviewed the careers of the Mayo brothers from their serv- ice as alternate chief consultants for all surgical services during the World War, through their activl- ties in the American Legion and their often free surgical and medi- cal aid to disabled veterans, and including their services in civic and educational pursuits with an outstanding grant of $1,5OO,O00 to the University of Minnesota.

Investment Buying Sent the Market Up Late To-day
TWO NEW POLICE
 CARS PURCHASED
Will Be Same Type as Those Now in
 Service

An order for two more coupes to be used by the police department was placed late this afternoon by the City of Waterbury with the Malcolm Motor Sales Co. The cars will be delivered as soon as pos sible and will be used to supple ment the eight motor patrol cars already in use.
 Efforts to get in touch with Po- lice Supt. Joseph Mclean were un- availing late this afternoon and it could not be learned on what schedules the new Ford machines will be used. It seems proba ble, however, that it will mean that ad- ditional policemen will have to be transferred from street duty to the motor patrol.
 The city only recently purchased eight new cars for the motor pa- trol and these cars have been in service since the spring. The latest purchase means that there are plans afoot to enlarge the mo- tor patrol considerably.

WESTERN HEAT
 WAVE CONTINUES
Temperatures Today Boil= ed Again to Killing
 Heights

Chicago, Aug. 8 = (UP) - A molten sun rode high through rainless skies over a large part of the mid-continent area today, add ing one more day to a continuous two motnhs' heat wave that has turned thousands of acres of farm lands into desert waste.
 Throughout the middlewest and the northern prairies, tempera- lures boiled again to killing heights.
 The mercury rose above 80 de- grees in all but nine of SS cities listed by the Chicago station of the weather bureau. nI a majority of the country's most thickly pop ulated districts, all the way from Jacksonville, Fla, to Fresno, Calif., the silver column bubbled over the 90-degree mark.
 In IA major cities it passed 100.
 What that meant in terms of human misery, and in the damage done to crops and livestock was impossible of estimate.
 It meant that death toll all ready far past 1000 was increas- ed hour by. hour. Hospitals here received prostration cases by the scores, even during the night hours when thousands slept on lawns and on beaches.
 Garin prices scared and stock prices dropped yesterday as the worlds marts heard new reports of the scourge sweeping the na- tion's grain bolt.
 Corn reached a season high on the Chicago Board of Trade dur ing the session and despite a rush of profit taking September wheat closed at $1.0SB, well above the traditional $1 goal and farmers, and corn was up N of a cent over the previous close.

 higher.
 The best performance was in cotton. Up to the closing at noon for the government crop estimate, the market had gained about a half dollar a bale. The market closed from 11:55 to 12:15 while the report was issued and digested, and then traders swung into action on the buying side.
 The cotton estimate of 9,195,o00 bales, if it proves correct, would mean the smallest crop since 1921. It was, therefore, construed as highly bullish. Prices jumped S1 a bale after the reopening of the market and soon the gains were extended to $2 bale net. One position got above IA cents a bale, the first time 14-cent cotton has been on the board since the sea- son 1929-1930.

MINER TRAPPED
 FOR MANY HOURS
In Standing Position and Directs ReScuerS How
 to Make Progress

Pottsville, Pa, Aug 8.-(UP)- Encouraged by the friendly words of rescuers and strengthened by food and stimulants from the out side world, William Jones, 40, of Minersville, today was hopeful of walking in the sunlight again.
 For more than 26 hours Jones had been pinned upright against the wall of the shaft in a boot leg" coal mine at Coal Castle, near here.
 The slide of earth and rock which trapped Jones occurred yes terday at 1O:30 a. m. Four other men with whom Jones was work ing the mine were not in the pit at the time.
 Rescuers working relays suc- ceeded in boring down to within speaking distance of him. Then Jones warned them that his life and theirs hung on the merest whim of chance.
 He told them that the slide had trapped him half way up the shaft. One of his shoulders was pinned to the wall by the weight of the earth and rocks 30 feet above the bottom of the pit.
 Laboriously, every word an ef- fort because of his cramped posi- tion, he explained that he was inn prisoned in standing position. There was a small air space above his head formde by mine props and 8 short ladder which had wedged in the shaft in such a way that the full pressure of the slide had not reached him.
 The danger to both himself and the miners who sought to free him was in this arrangement of the supports in the shaft which left his head free. The slightest mistake on their part might weak en one of the props, plunging them all to the bottom of the shaft.
 Learning of this new danger, rescuers proceeded slowly through out the night and finally were able to shape small opening through which stimulants were administered to Jones. This morning a small quantity of food Was handed down to him.
 After he had eaten he told the men that except for numbness in- duced by his cramped position he felt pretty good" From time to time he made suggestions to the men above, but continually warn- ed them of the immenent danger of death.
 Several of the rescuers said they believed they would be able to free Jones today.
