Restriction, ot Immigration Recom mended by Session Held in Astoria. Fully persuaded that the Toveri, Finnish newspaper published at As toria was inimical to the American Legion and everything for which that organization stands, the state execu tive committee of the American Le gion, meeting in Portland yesterday afternoon, pledged itself to unrelent ing warfare against that newspaper, in which would be employed "all legitimate means" to destroy its in fluence. Though the editors of the news paper have been imprisoned follow ing trial in the federal court on dis loyalty charges and are serving two year sentences, the publication con tinues to spread what legionnaires believe to be a vicious influence, not only in the northwest, but in other parts of the country reached by its circulation as the organ of Finnish boclalists. In the past the fight against the paper has been carried ou only in Astoria, but the action yesterday means that the state or ganization will bring its guns into action also. Enlistment of the forces of organ ized labor in the American Legion's fight against radicals and disloyalty is the purpose of a recommendation to be presented the national conven tion of the legion at Cleveland, O., September 27 by the Oregon depart ment. Radicals to Be Fought. It ts recommended that the rela tion between local posts of the legion and lvcal councils of labor be sur veyed and views interchanged on so cial and economic questions, with the aims of enlisting the aid of lahor against radicals and of teaching each organization the viewpoints of the other. Rogers MacVeagh. chairman of the Americanism committee of the Ore gon department, had drafted the recommendations of the legion state convention at Astoria into form for presentation at the national meeting. His report was adopted. It recom mended the handling of the Japanese Immigration problem 'as a nationai and not a coast problem: the restric tion of all immigration; the investi gation of un-American Institutions and parties; the education of foreign liorn in American ideals: education rather than persecution in stamping out radicals, and a national law pro hibiting the publication of foreign language newspapers unless parallel columns of English translations were used. Bitter Fiicbt I'romUfd. Major William S. Gilbert of Astoria, department commander of the Ameri can Legion, presided at the meeting, which was attended by G. L. Goodell, vice-commander: Edward J. Eivers, adjutant: Prescott W. Cookingham, finance officer; George R. Wilbur of Hood River, executive committeeman: Howard Gildea of McMinnville, ex ' ecutive committeeman; Ben S. Mor row of Portland, executive commit teeman; Rogers MacVagh of Port land, and Dr. R. H. Hoskins of As toria, representing the executive com mittee of Clatsop post. MacVeagh was reappointed chair man of the Americanism committee and Arthur A. Murphy of Portland chairman of the grievance committee. Rev. G. H. Parkinson of Corvallis, state chaplain, was named chairman of the benevolence committee. The resolution concerning the To . veri, moved by Wilbur of Hood River, follows: "Resolved, that the executive com mittee, American Legion of Oregon, is fully persuaded that the Toveri. a newspaper published at Astoria, Or exclusively in a foreign language, is an enemy to this organization and to the things for which it stands, con tinuing to oppose this organization and its efforts to enlarge its member ship and further its work; that its influence is vicious and contrary to those things which the legion is ad vancing in its desire for better Amer icanism, and in results makes for actual disloyalty. "And this executive committee does declare its purpose to combat and op pose .all such efforts and influence on the part of such newspaper and of the movement of which it seems to be the agent and mouthpiece, with all legitimate means-." WIFE CHARGES KIDNAPING HOME WAS IN DUGOUT IX HILLS, SAYS MRS. RUSSELL. Place or Abode Infested With Rat tlesnakes, Rats and Mice, Says Divorce Applicant. Life in a dugout on a Montana hill side with a man known as "Dirty Jack was related by Mrs. Mildred ! M. Russell to Presiding Circuit Judge Tazwell yesterday In the course of her successful divorce suit against Earl E. Russell, whom she said, kid naped her when she was but 16 years old. "The home to which he took me was simply a dugout, a hole in the ground boarded half-way up," she testified. It was infested with rats and mice and we killed one rattlesnake in the place. We saw another rattier and other kinds of snakes there. Later we lived in a board shack, which had cracks covered by newspapers to keep out the rain and cold." She had little respect for her hus band, she said. , "He was known around Ingomar, Mont., as 'Dirty Jack'," she averred. "He was lazy, dirty and a thief. He would rob freight cars of food, and I would make him take it back." Accusations as to the personal ap pearance and habits of Russell were substantiated by the mother of the plaintiff, who also told of the alleged kidnaping of her daughter when she was IS. She said further that Russell had stolen an automobile from her and that it had never been returned. "He's as crooked as they make 'em," was the description of Theophlel Serr as given by his spouse in the court of Judge Tazwell yesterday. Serr -made a dramatic appearance In court to charge collusion in the divorce action brought by Mrs. Regina Serr. saying that his wife had lived with him since the suit was filed and that she really desired to withdraw t, but had been prevented by her at torneys and relatives. The charges fizzled' out when Mrs. Serr brought witnesses into court to deny her husband's allegations and hen he finally admitted in open court that they were untrue. Mrs. Serr accused her husband of deserting her, eavrng her pennileF.s. almost a year ago, of spending $300 on a "booze party- and of compelling her to wear his sister's old clothes. Because he had annoyed her con siderably after she filed her divorce complaint. Judge Tazwell allowed a temporary restraining order prevent- ng mm Irom molesting her. to re main in force, warning Serr to keep away from the woman who had been his wife. Other default divorce decrees awarded by Judge Tazwell were: Frank E. from Ruth F. Meyers, Mol- le 15. from Arthur B. Wright. Flor ence from John M. Archer, Margaret ri. irom George A. Mearns, Tillie from E. H. Bauely, Nora A. from Marvin A. Van Bessa, Lula from Rob ert Johnson, Paul from Mabel Gurake. Viola from Anthony J. Nellis, Beatrice from Wilfred R. Keyzer, Nettie from M. L.

Session, Viola from Anthony J. Weibcr. Bessie E. from James W. Taylor, Pauline from Lewis Peacock, Bessie from Peter Peluso, Catherine from Fred B. Whitlock, and Estella from George H. Humphries. The only divorce suit filed in the circuit court yesterday was that of Jennie Arnhart against George W. Arnhart, alleging cruelty. AUT01ST HIT LOST ACCIDENT REPORTED BY DRIVER BUT VICTIM GO'E.

Combing Won't Rid Hair of Dandruff The only sure way to get rid of dan druff is to dissolve It, then you de stroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring: use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. Do this tonight, and by morning most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more ap plications will completely dissolve and destroy It, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all Itching and digging of the scalp will Btop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus trous, glossy, silky and soft and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work. Adv.
