A meeting of all persona Interested In highway, rail and water trans portation was called tor next Wednes day afternoon at 1:30 o'clock in the Portland hotel, at a preliminary meeting of transportation experts held last Thursday in the office of Julius L. Meier, regional chairman in the Pacific northwest for the highways transport committee of the council of national defense. This preliminary meeting- was at tended by Fred A.

Dunton of Boston truck transporta tion expert and Mr. Meier. At this meeting a tentative plan was drawn up for the formation of a transport organization here, to be composed of all' persons utilizing transportation In their business. This plan Inoludes the following main points: To promote highway transportation. Assist the ore unlzation of complete transport facilities through development of the trinity of transportation, highway, rail and water. To eliminate waste motion. To decimate cost of truck transporta tion. To co-ordinate Interests of rait, water and truck transfer lines. To promote such legislative and regula tive measures aa are deemed necessary and essential In the safeguarding of the pub lic welfare. To promote building and extension of roads to take care of present and future needs in hlfchway transport. To establish and maintain a central bu reau of shipping. The territorial Influence of this associa tion la to embody the entire Facifle north west, "There are various organizations to promote commercial interests, but none to promote transportation," said Mr. Punton, who is one of the origina tors of the move for the new organi zation. 'This Is such a vast field, and one ao complicated In Its many rami fications, that there should be an or ganization to promote transportation composed of men who use transporta tion In their business, who know transportation needs, and have made a study of them. "To form such an organization for the mutual benefit of shippers, trans portation men and all concerned, is the purpose of Wednesday's meeting, at which it is hoped that a large at tendance will be present." would be surprising to an American. He recommends the use of white or light paint to prevent the gloominess of interiors, greater illumination, rec ognition of the bathtub from the American point of view, removal of various unsanitary quarters, from near the kitchen, elimination of little serv ice charges and other changes. "Breakfi.st," the correspondent re ports, "is the American's best meal, and we must organize ourselves to give it to him and to serve it very quickly. Also, Ice cream is the national dessert; it Is eaten morning and night. America has machines for making this dessert. Perhaps we can adopt a model and later make It in France." The hotelmen are cautioned by the correspondent against "a veritable or ganization to boost prices" which he said had been reported to him. Other wise, he reasoned, returning travel era would spread the bad news "we would thus lose the chance we now have to make enormous profits." To prevent such overcharging, a government agency is obtaining the pledges from hotels to charge only posted rates to tourists directed to them through the government's In ternational publicity campaign to at tract visitors.

SALEM, Or.. Dec. 6. (Special.) The case of Hartman and other tax payers of Pendleton to restrain the so-called commercial association of that city from having the use of $5000 bequeathed to the organization by the late Samuel Sturgis for the benefit of library there, will be heard by the Oregon supreme court on December 9. At the time Mr. Sturgis died his will provided that the sum of $5000 should be paid from his estate to the officers of the Pendleton commercial association for the benefit of the city library. It was also set out in the will that at any time when the library ceased to exist for a period of three years the money should revert to his estate. Before the will was probated, how ever, the plaintiffs charged that the city library was abandoned and that the county library plan was adopted. Becaueo of this situation it was al leged that the officers of the Pendle ton Commercial association had no legal right to accept the money, even though It was applied toward the con duct of the county library. The case was tried in the Umati'Ia county court and the contention of Mrs. Pope Is a Visitor.

There is nothing left for me or for nature to work on. The hair roots are dead. It is when the hair begins to fall that you should seek help. "The use of mange cures, dandruff cures, hair tonics, vaseline and elixirs is like taking medicine without knowing what you are trying to cure. "Let me find, classify and destroy the bacteria before they destroy the hair roots. Nature will fight long and well, and if given help at the right lime will replace the lost hair with new, stronger, thicker and more beautiful hair. I have been successful in many cases of patchy baldness where the papillae, or hair roots, were still alive. You can be helped!" ' Prof. Austin's Private Office Balcony, Owl Drug Co.
