Peak of Infant I Death Beginning The cummer peak" of Infant deaths is now beginning. The con ditions responsible for this "peak" lire described In a series of studies j,of Infant mortality made by the children's bureau of the U. S. depart- Iment of labor In six Industrial cities. In Manchester, N. H., more babies iflied from gastro-lntestinal diseases than from any other cause, the rate t being 63 per 1.000 babies born alive. a August more deaths occurred from these diseases' than occurred lit any other month from all causes combined. Two-thirds of the babi-ja In Manchester were born to foreign born mothers. twoflfths to mothers who could not speak English, over one-sl.th to Illiterate mothers. Neai )y half of them were In families where the father's earnings totalel less thsn 1650 a year, and over two- fifths were to mothers who were gainfully employed during the year following the baby's birth. -Mothers who worked awsy from hone were In most cases obliged to wean their babies, and did not understand the Importance of care and cleanliness In giving artificial food. Only sel dom did a mother report that the modified the baby's milk. In Johnstown, Pa., Waterbury, Conn., and New Bedford. Mass., where similar conditions prevailed, the Infant mortality rates for dis- case ot the digestive system oro 32. 41 and 48, respectively. In Saginaw, Mich., and Brockton, Mass., where the proportion of for eign . born. Illiterate and gainfully employed mothers was comparatively low, and Incomes more nearly ade quate, artificial feeding when resort ed to was more scientific. . The in Tint mortality rates from gastro lntestlnal'diseases were only 8 aud II. respectively. ' TJisse reports emphasize the Im portance of family Income and bet ter domestic and. municipal sanita tion; But they Indicate also the need of teaching mothers how to take care ot babies. The lowest rates for each Ane ot these cities were for breast fed babies, so that mothers should be taught first of all to nurse their children. But, as several of the re ports point out, the difference in rates for the artificially ted of dif ferent nationality and economic groups Is almost as striking ns the differnce In rates between the breast and the artificially fed, due to the care, or lack of care, used In pre paring the food. Babies who perish because their mothers do not know how to take care of them, thus piling up the tall black monument of summer deaths, can be saved If baby health centers a system of visiting nurses, nnd oth er forms of educational work are es tablished. The Infant mortality rate in citiea where these ' measures have been tried has been markedly re duced. Third Round ' i Will be Exciting Two "prominent" citizens of this city nearly "tangled" this morning In tbe vicinity of the Ford garage and had It not been the fact that abusive language was the only weapon used, oue or more funeruls might have been chalked up for thin afternoon. These same Individuals had a battle royal several days ago in front ot a local Ice plant at which time the same "deadly" weapons were placed In use with no fatal re sults. The scrap originated ovur 25 cents worth of ice. The proprietor of the Ice plant, one of the princi pals In the little melodrama, de manded an explanation from his op ponent as to where he secured his ice-book. As no 'explanation was made, a fight was started. The "Ice man" picked- up a piece, of pipe and started to use it for a hand grenade, but his enemy was on the defensive and was well armed with boulders. For a few minutes tbe air was blue with adjectives. No blows were struck at that time and the opposing pat-Men retired to their trenches. They again faced each other this morning and the old row was re vived. The Ice man flashed a deputy sheriff badge' as his authority and again no blows were struck, but his opponent Issued an ultimatum giving warning that the next meeting would be marked with different proceed ings. Local reporters, thirsting for news, are anxiously standing on the side lines, awaiting the third round, which promises to be bloody and ex citing from start to finish. France Honored . On Bastile Day WASHINGTON, July 14. Offi cial Washington paid honor to France today In commemoration of Bastile day. Government buildings displayed the French tri-color along with the American flag. President Wilson sent a mesage of congratu lation to the president of France and Secretary Baker placed wreaths on the graves of French soldiers at the Arlington National cemetery. - America Is Best Dressed Country NEW YORK, July 14 England has had to give way t o America as Che best dressed country. For sar torial parexcellence, American men now lead every other nationality. Nor Is New York 1n the van even In this country. Fastidiousness in dress is just as characteristic of the mas culine population ot Portland, Mo or Seattle, or Tulsa, Okla.aor even Cedar Rapids, Iowa, as it Is of tbe male millions of the metropolis." The above represents the concen sus ot men who ought to know. Other clothiers and furnishers have made similar assertions heretofore, but by the managers of Men's furnishings stores, who are here for a (fall con ference on styles and business con ditions. These men of necessity make it their business to know the stand ards of men's wear. Aa evidence In the ease, several facts are adduced. In the first place according to these men, evening clothes are now worn at formal fun ctions almost universally through out the country, as Is attested by tbe present very general sale of shirts and collars for evening wear Instead ot the purchase of these articles, as was formerly the esse being eonflned to the big cities. More than this, however, is the demise of the once famous "Sunday Salt." No longer 1s this former Institution carefully hung away from Sunday night to Sunday morning. Nowadays, every salt Is a "Sunday twit," men dress CLOUD BURST AND WIND WORK HAVOC Inland Empire Wheat Belt Is Visited by TerrificStorm Last Evening.

July 14 Farm build ings were demolished, orchards up rooted and great damage done to wheat fields In the Palouse country, while several buildings of tho state college at Pullman were destroyed and other damage (lone by rain and wind which visited that section of the Inland Empire early last night. Vor a short time after tho storm had passed -all communication was cut off with Pullman, Washington, nnd Moscow, Idaho, and this fact led to the repgrt that several per sons had been killed, but later dev elopments proved these fears to be unbounded. A terrific Wind, follow ing a sultry day, followed by a down pour ot rain which culminated in a cloud burst swept- over the Palouse "heat belt late yesterday afternoon. The storm included In Its path. Lew Iston and Moscow, Idaho and Pull man. Winoni .and other small towns on the Washington side of the line. At Winona, where the storm struck f 6 o'clock, four houses were wash ed away, and from all of them the women and children were rescued. At Lewiston. the electrical power station was put out of commission for an hour and a half by the "heavy electrical storm that passed rp the n-ke river valley it that point. The lightning struck at two points on the T-ewlston-Raparla branch df the Camas Prairie Railway. At the R. S. Booth farm, two and a half miles from Pullman, a big fljarn was demolished and trees were Unrooted. At this point the storm took on the proportions of a cyclone. At the Washington State College, noultrv houses were blown down and some of them carried a half mile 'way. The stables were unroofed. In Pullman, a number ot houses were unroofed, and both east and west of the town, ITarm buildings were blown down. A grain warehouse In Pullman was also wrecked. Elks Delegate Returns Home ' Carl E.

Senator La Follotte threw a monkey wrench into the machinery of the proposed new party convention at Chicago today when ho sent word that he does not "deem himself available as a candi date for presidential nomination." Immediately after tho chairman an nounced La Follette's decision, Les ter Barlow, leader of the world war veterans group, lumped to his feet and demanded that the Wisconsin senator be drafted despite his wishes. Barlow charged that the convention was "boss ridden by a secret intriguing clique; and that its leaders were conccallr.g La Fol lette's platform - for foar that if It were read the convention would adopt It. Barlow's appeal started all uproar, delegates from, all over the hall demanding that La Follette's platform be read. A demonstration started which lasted half an hour, pandemonium reigning, and with cries of "Read that platform," and "Let's adopt It," the delegate marched around. When the demon stration finally subsided the chair man refused to allow the platform to be read. ' Cox Roasts VLirdlng. COLUMBUS. July 14.

E ARE RUNNING DRY Shortage Is General Over the Coast and Tourist Travel Is Slowing Up. ROSEBURG HAS PLENTY Although Killing stations Are Pract ically Dry Today Two Carloads on Way Will lreveiit a Serious Famine. In spite of the agreement with the Fairfield Oil Co., of California, lo cal gasoline dealers are unable to keep up with the demand and today tanks at the various filling station are practically dry, with no prospects of gasoline for several days. Th Standard Oil Company has a small supply which is being issued for trucks and Important Industries with low amounts to private cars A small amount was also distributed to till ing stations, but there was not enough to supply all ot them with the desired amount. Two car loads of gnsoline are on the way and one should have been here last week but has failed to arrive. These cars will keen' tho city supplied. It is believed, and the dealers expect the contract with the company to be continued until the shortage Is over. The gasoline shortage Is severe over the entire coast. Even Los An geles was reported to be out of gaso line for Bevoral days. The supply In Portland Is low, while other cities and towns report the same condition. Tourist travel, which until tho past two or throe days has been very heavy, is beginning to slacken at a rapid rate and It In reported from s!l river the coast that many tourists are stranded. ITp to the present time Roseburg has been able to keep the tourists moving and many local fill ing stations report that they have shipped gRsollnn In small quantities by express to tourists who wanted enough gast'.lne to reach this city where they could fill their tanks and proceed on their Journey. Gasoline companies state that their reserve supidy has been ex hausted while those having a sum cient amount of gasoline claim that they are unable to procure cars. A recent order sent by the local dealers to the Fairfield company resulted In an answer that it could not be filled owing to the lack of a car. A short time later, however, a message was received stating that a car had been procured and the gasoline would be shipped as quickly as the car could be loaded. It appears that with tho contra"! with the California company in op eration that Roseburg will bo koot llberallv supplied and that the mo torists here with a slight amount of conservation will not bo forced to stop the operation of their ma chines. There may he times when the filling "StRtlons will be out. such ss today, but the shortage will be only temporary and the autos will be kept running. The gravest concern is regarding the trucks being operated on road work. The Standard Oil Comnanv Is supplying thefe trucks In snHo of 'he shortage that has been felt for reveral weeks and the trucks have not stopped work at any time on ac count of the lack of gasoline.

STREET GRADES PUZZLE COUNCIL Residents Want to Build Con. crete Walks and Are Asking For Proper Levels. LUMBER TOO COSTLY Many Property Owners Residing On I'upaved District Prefer Con . crete to Lumber Fur Build liiC Sidewalk. The question of establishing the itreet grades is one that has be come very puzzling to the city council. There was a time " when residents would put off building concrete walks aa lon n. nnn.u That was when lumber could be pro- .urea at a reasonable price. Now lumber is ridiculously high and the construction of a board walk Is mora oxpensive than the building of a concrete walks and In fact are not two types of construction Is taken mo consideration. People residing on unpsved streets, however, do not ieel like putting down concrete ' valks until a grade has been estab .Ishcd. They do not believe that they hould be required to put down .-oncreto wolks and In fact are not required to do so. if living on an npaved street, but In view of the .'xceptlonally high cost of lumber .hlch is practically prohibitive In rice, some of these people by lncro islng the amount of theexpenditure asy thoy can procure walk that will le much nioro satisfactory and will ast a great deal longer than one om posed of wood. Consequently :hey are asking the city council to irovlde them with a grade. This In urn brings the council face to face with a hard problem to solve. The council is planning on order ng property owners In various sce lons of the city to build new walks. The Marshall reported that walks 'n West First Street and on Second Avenue South, in North Roseburg, ire In a very bad.conditlnn and aro, n fact dangerous In some places.-' tesidont along those streets In 'lany instances want to put In con rete warks and will undoubtedly efuse to build wooden walks and will demand a grade. If the city gives them a grade, 'ho next city engineer and council may completely change the grado ind this would leave walks com lelely out of line so far as elevation s concerned. This .actually occur ed a few years ago, particularly on onth Stephens. Street where som-j v.tlks were left ten foet In the air hen It was decided to cut down 'he g-ade. This cost the cltv sev eral thousand dollars and tnught he council to be extremely cautious .bout giving trades. Tho problem was partially solved iv telling property owners who want ed a grade to furnish their own evoK but with such wholesale -:dewalk building as will be going on during the summer, the council nn hardly follow such policy. There Is also another featurt.. Tho ouncll can only force conformation o grade on Improved street. If on West First Street, for examplo, the Trade should be lowered and some f the residents should put down -onrrete walks and one resident re fuse to conform to the grade and cave his or her sidewalk several Vet in the air, the whole district votild be nffe-ctcd. This then neces 'lates the consent of all property iwners and an agreement that all vill conform to Ihe grade establlsh d If the council Is to provide such trade. It has been proposed that a grade "ie established en oil unimproved "treets within the city limits and that the work of tho surveyor he undo a matter of record for future councils. This would require sn -xeendlture of severnl thousand Inllars, but would partially solvo the problem. It would then be up to property owners lo obtain agree ments from all residents of tho block affected to conform to the rade and It would also bind fulnro ngi'neern nnd councils to the glides decided upon. Jttst what conrso Is to ho follow ed Is not known but. the-council Is -erlou?lv considering the best rolti-y 'o be followed In this case. The street department and city marshal are Inspecting various wooden s'dewalks reported to be In n. d.mgerotis condition snd will nmhahly order them rebuilt within a short time.
