and say that Mayor Ctll will set one of

the fevertsbness of the search to find
a nominee who can defeat GUI Is par
tially responsible for the boom In Han

Hanson passed a month organizing

closed he has had the advantage of

the more active of bis supporters who
were ready to bead his committees
turned to Hanson. Waterhouse did not

Tt la the more prominent of thla easily
Identified crowd that at once turned to
Hanson and gave his stock a boom,
tfforts were made to turn the drift to
ward Murphy, buf the movement was
not strong enough to be effective.
Whether Hanson can survive a gruel
ling fight of more than three weeks'
duration la another question, but one
that no unprejudiced observer Is even
trying to answer now. He's off to a
runnln.tr start, anyhow, with alt the
usual adversities of politics yet to come.
There have been negotiations during
the past week between friends of dif
ferent candidates to try to get some
of them out of the race. It may be
that some of these negotiations were
serious, but they looked more like feel
ers to test the confidence of rivals. At
that, there seems to be a feeling In the
Griffiths. Murphy and Horr camps that
two of these three men are two too
many In a fight that seems destined
for some time to center attention on
Hanson and Gilt'
Labor Vete Waklaa? rs.
From the Griffiths - Horr Mnrphy
standpoint there Is the -hone that If a
compromise could be effected on one of
them the public might tire of a Han-son-Gill
controversy and turn to some
body else for relief. With all three
running, the chance that the public on
Its own initiative would pick the same
candidate. Is rather remote. Ilradford
seems fated to dlspnte with Gill for the
big end of the labor and municipal
ownership vote,
Politicians have been trying; to get
a line on the labor vote which is waking
up and registering stronger. Labor
leaders are trying to Instill a fear that
a Mayoralty candidate might be elected
who would use hla office against labor,
but the bulk of the labor vote is still
undecided. A feature of the past week's
registration, however, was the qualify

"Joy Is eternal." said Mr. Hanchett,
"pain Is transitory. Happiness Is the

"Pessimism comes from a lack of

by this great philosophy will furnish
the basis of wladom upon which will
be reconstructed the more Joyous civ

of theosophy. as of all philosophy. Is to
put an end to pain. The greatest Joy
of all comes through forgetting our
selves and serving others."

PASCO, Wash., Jan. 17. (Special.)
Almost Summer weather continues In
Franklin County, and farmers are pre
paring to begin plowing. Unless an
unexpected cold epell should occur
Franklin County Is promised a bumper
crop of all kinds the coming Season.
Many additional acres have been or
will be prepared for wheat and with a
normal season the crop should be ex
ceptionally good. More than the usual
amount of rain has fallen this Winter.
Portland y officers of the United
States Shipping Board, of the Emer
gency Fleet Corporation, have supplied
to the Adjutant-General's office for
guidance of selective service executives
a list of shipyards and war industries
in this district whose workers of draft
age are exempted so long as they re
main in their present employments.
The concerns whose workers will not

War Workers Are Warned.
In connection with the Shipping
Board's announcement the Adjutant
General issues a pointed " warning to
men of conscript age who, for any rea
son, leave the employment of firms en
gaged on war contracts. Deferred
classification granted such men by rea
son- of the jobs they hold, says the
Adjutant-General, is revoked the in
stant they leave the Jobs, and they are
liable to severe penalties if they do not
report the changed status to the local
boards.
The warning says: "Deferred clas
sification holds good only for the time
man Is actually employed in such in
dustry. If he quits work In a certain
shipyard, for any reason whatsoever,
he must renort the fact, within five
days of his quitting, to his local board.
If he does not report it his changed
status is certain to become known
sooner or later, and then he will be
arrested, prosecuted and probably sent
to Jail.
False Reports Punishable.
"Making a false report is punishable
as severely as neglecting to make any
report. This rule applies not only to
men In the shipyards, but to every draft
registrant In a deferred classification
whose statns has been changed."
Men employed in war industries need
to know that it is entirely unnecessary
for them to return to local boards with
which they registered. In distant places,
In order to take the physical examina
tions now being ordered, declare an
exemption official. Any man regis
tered elsewhere may be examined by
physicians of a Portland board pro
vided he obtain this privilege from his
home board. To obviate loss of time
from work and attendant inconvenience
men now in the exempted industries of
the Portland district, who still hold
registrations In outside points, should
mmediately wire or write to their old
homes and get permission to be exam
ined before some Portland board, it was
explained.
An interesting case of expected
change of status was reported by one
man In returning his questionnaire.
While members of his family are large
ly dependent at present on the house
hold head's occupation, he Is soon to
come into possession of a little fortune
of about 615,000. It is held that this
inheritance will change the man's stat
us, inasmuch .jis his family will hardly
be dependent on his labor for support
after he acquires the money that is
coming to him.

THRIFT -DAY FEB. 4
State-Wide Observance Urged
fcy Governor Withycombe.
WASTE TENDS TO WEAKEN
Extravagance Softens Sinews of War
and Furnishes Aid and Encour
agement to Enemy, Says Ex
ecutive In Announcement.
SALEM. Or., Jan. 27. Governor James
Withycombe urges state-wide observ
ance of thrift day by Oregonlans this
year. In a statement made public here
today. The Governor said:
"The people of Oregon are loyally
supporting the entire war programme
and are already practicing thrift, but It
will be just as well, perhaps, to focus
and concentrate our attention all the
more on this particular patriotic duty
at the time set aside for the all-Ameri-,
can observance of the anniversary of
thrift day, Tebruary 3, which is this!
year to be observed on Monday, Febru
ary 4.
'Waste and sinful extravagances
weaken our Nation in, the sinews of war
and Thereby furnish aid and encourage
ment to our enemies. A nation to be
thrifty must have thrifty communities,
and thrifty communities spring from
thrifty individuals. Therefore, the man
who practices thrift and who encour
ages thrifty habits serves in a measure
to help his nation to victory just as
surely as, though less graphically than,
the soldier of the trench and the soldier
of the soil.
It is not my purpose to urge thrift
only for the one day of observance,
February 4, but rather to commend
that 'day as a proper time for serious
reflection in mapping out a programme
of conservation to be put into action
throughout the twelvemonth and stimu
lating thought toward a practical ap
plication of war duties and problems.
Be a thrift maker; for thrift. Just
now, is patriotism. Thrift day fur
nishes the patriotio people of Oregon
an opportunity to put an accepted
neory to practical and patriotic pur
pose.
consolidation of the police bureau with
the fore of the County Sheriff, of the
County Coroner's and City Physician's,
officers, and the County and City As
sessors' and Treasury offices.
In supporting the proposed consolida
tion, Mr. Barbur quoted statistics to
show that Portland has 95.1 per cent of
the population, and 93.3 per cent of
the total valuation of Multnomah Coun
ty. He maintained that a combined
city and county government, with seven
or eight commissioners, could handle
the work done by 60 boards now in op
eration in the county, and that a host
of subordinate offices could be abol
ished.

IX).TX)N, Jan. 27. An official report
from Turkish headquarters received by
the British Admiralty wireless today

"There Is continued aerial activity In

sweeper was hit thrice and repulsed in

A telegram from Mayor Baker tnrned
the tiJe in favor of Portland as the
ext meeting place of the Northwest
Milk Inspectors' Association at the con
vention in Spokane last week, accord-
ng to Dr. D. W. Mack, chief milk In
spector of Portland,' who returned
from the meeting yesterday.'
Dr. Mack and E. C. Callaway, milk
chemist; were the two Portland repre
sentatives at the session. They got
busy early seeking the next conven
tion. Mayor Baker's cordial invitation
turned enough votes to land the convention.
Portland is not the only city having
milk troubles, accordire lo If. Mack.
In fact," he said last night, "we are
having far less trouble than many
cities of thfe Northwest. I learned that
of all the cities and states represented,
Portland still has the cheapest milk of
any.' The price Is 12 cents a quart
Portland. The lowest price prevall-
ng in any other city represented at
the meeting wj 13 cv ts a quart. The
session was attended b milk officials
and others from Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, Montana, Utah and Alberta.
"All of these "states and the principal
cities are having milk troubles due to
labor scarcity and the increased prices
supplies required in the business.
The troubles in Portland are really iess
serious than in many places. Seattle,
for Instance, is having strike trouble.
Conditions from a milk production
standpoint are the same everywhere.
Labor troubles and the increased prices
of feed, eta, have caused a decrease in
milk quality." -

Canadian Officer Called to Duty.
Lieutenant J. M. McMillan, one of the
Canadian officers touring the state of
Oregon under the auspices of the State
Council of Defense, was in Portland
yesterday. on his way back to Army

TTiNCOtrVER. Wash.. Jan. 27. fSne
V clal.) "No longer will the patron
of local barber shops enjoy the pleas
ant sensation of having a steaming
towel placed tenderly over his well-
lathered face by his favorite tonsorial
artist before and after shaving. And
this, notwithstanding the fact that the
price of shaving has been raised from
15 cents to 29 cents since the first of
the year.
This because Uncle Sam says so. The
turkish towel, which holds the hot
water so well, has been found to be
unsanitary after all these years. No
one knows how many persons have
died from the effects of having their
faces poisoned by the turkish towel
but there will be no more, because the
unsanitary towel will be banished.
No longer will heavy-bearded patrons
go to a barber shop, recline in the easy
chairs and have their beard made ten
der by the application of the hot towel.
The barber will lather the face well
and then get busy with his razor and
off come the whiskers, no matter how
much it hurts.
-The local barbers have been warned
that this order is coming, and some
have already complied with the re
quest in anticipation of it. And be
sides being unsanitary, much coal.
wood and gas will be conserved, all of
which will help win the war.
It is probable that many men who
enjoy a hot towel, and who have been
accustomed to paying 15 cents for
shave, will get out their old razors or
buy new ones, and mow their own
beards. The barbers think so, any
way.
