They urged the appointment of Dr, Norria which was out of his jurisdic tion, as he had been removed by a higher court than Judge Andersons therefore it was impossible for him to appoint Dr. Norris, and now the State Board of Health announce that they will not recognize Dr. Van Brakle and have notified the Judge that his ap Is this a means of trying to force Judge Anderson to appoint some one that the doctors of Oregon City want, or is it that the doctors are fighting to down a weaker school than theirs and keep them from becoming strong er than they and forcing them to rec ognize some other school of medicine?

Government Reports Lowest Fire Loss With the middle of September the fire season on the national forests has come practically to an end with less damaire than ever recorded. There is always some danger from careless ness of campers or or settlers burn ine brush and clearing land, but the left tackle for 70 yards and a touch down. L. Adams, Main Trunk, turned the current into the dormant Live Wires at their first regular fall feed Tues day, and rumor says voltage was high.

Forest officers throughout the West are congratulating themselves on a season so markedly tree trom heavy losses. They feel that the immunity from loss has been due to two prin cipul cautes, partly to a favorable season, but largely to a much better organization for fire prevention than has been attained heretolore. J. he ef fectiveness of the organization is shown particularly by the fact that while there was in all approximately proposition and today we point with pride to a hole in the ground and tell tne seeker after a location that is where the elevator is going to be sometime may be. If this mutter was going to be done by a private individual it would havu been done so long ago that we all would have forgotten it and the ele vator would have been erected as a monument of the wishes of the people of Oregon City who voted the money thinkinif thev would live long enough to enjoy it us well as their grand-children, who under the present strides will be old and grey headed by Mfc time it is completed. It is strange that municipal corpor ations will take so much time to trans act a little business that would take an individual only a short time to per form. Is it red tape? Is it lack of in terest? Or is it that the men handling the matter are not big enough for the job? These matters should be looked into and some action taken. The Lighting of Schoolrooms Public school children's eyes are often seriously damuged by poorly lighted schoolrooms. This fact should be remembered in building school houses. Modern school architects and hygienists have worked out some def inite plans to conserve eyesight, which should not be forgotten. For instance, in Northern countries, where sunlight is less prevalent than in bouthcrn countries, and where log clouds and smoke are common, school rooms should have one-fourth as much window glass as there is floor space. In Southern, countries, where the at mosphere is clear, one-sixth window glass space is sullicient. 1 ho bottom of the windows should be four feet above the floor. Windows should be at, numerous us is consistent with safe construction. They should be as far back in the room as possible, and to the lett ot tile pupils. The windows should be contained between iron or steel mullions, und their edges should be rounded, to permit the ingress of light and its useful distribution and to prevent shadows fulling on the desks. As the best light comes from above, the windows should extend to tho ceilings. If hills or tall buildings are close to the school prismatic or ribbed glass should bo used in the up per portions of the windows, but not in the lower portions, as too much glare is produced. Sliding or slat blinds should not be used. They arc expensive and inefficient. Use double shades, so huge that chinks of light cannot enter. They should be fasten ed in the center of the window und should roll up or down, so that liirht can be admitted from either ubove or below. Tho curtains should be light green in color. Blackboards absorb much light, and should be covered by light curtains on dark days and when not in use. is only about 60.000 acres as against 230,000 acres in 1912, and 780,000 in 1911. A single administrative district which covers the intermountain region of southern Idaho, western Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and western Arizona, (fives an example of the most favor able situation. Only 43 fires were en countered, 20 of which originated in Idaho.

As the city water commissioners have refused to connect up for the new hydraulic elevator, the city dads may have to resort to juice rather than fluid in the operation of the structure.

That dainty, slender, little contrap- ico have suffered most during the past I tion which sister wore on the very season. The various causes of fires have not changed greatly in their relative pro portions. Railroads and lightning head the list, with campers next, There has been, however a marked de crease in tho number of fires caused by burning brush, which, according to tho torest olticers, indicates a closer cooperation with the settlers in and near the forests and with timberland owners in fire prevention and control, It is still true, nevertheless, that a large proportion of all fires started are due to human agencies and mav generally be charged against careless ness. 1'ire cused by lightning are of course not preventable, but the svstem ot lookouts by which thev mav be de tected immediately after being set lg greatly lessening the loss from this source.. an-About-Town (By Gideon Cobb) Bull Run or Bull Con which?

Here's hoping it'll be a "bird" by next spring. According to Judge Campbell pio neers at Molalla mistook Henry Pit tock, editor of the Oregonian, for the father of the Single Tax in Oregon, which shows that under primitive conditions the newspaper man has some chance. People got so used to the try-out of the new fire alarm system last week, that had a real fire occurred, probably only tlie immediate friends and rela tives would have attended the func tion. Luckily there was no fire and the newspapermen thereby lost a great chance to tell the old story of tne fellow who shouted Wolf." The Oregon City man who discov- ?i'ed a hunk of well masticated chew ing gum in the bottom of his milk lass nt a local restaurant last week after he had swallowed the milk s'lould not feel too keenly the humil- i tion ot being the victim of mis- p'accd "Spearmint."

Thomas Heflin, Congressman trom Alabama Girls should not be sent to col lege. Institutions of learning for women are overrun by Socialism and the Suffrage craze, those two deadly poisons to the republic and the church. Over three-fourths of the young women graduated from college are suffragettes and soc ialists. These are the things your daughters learn in college. Don't wend them. The ideal woman is the home loving woman, who has been the inspiration of the American man in building up the nation and bringing it to the present state of developement. Any cause which creates antagonism between the sexes and destroys and cricifies sentiment is fraught with danger to the home. I deny that women are ready to repudiate their fathers, brothers and sons by the wholesale in or der to wield the ballot. The pos session of the ballot means politi cal warfare. The above appeared in the Morning enterprise under the editorial column, Whether he meant this for a slam on Socialism, Equal Suffrage, church or the existing conditions, but anyway we Socialists are willing to admit that a good education applied to a reason able .amount of gray matter would make any honest person a Socialist, Kead the above again, then read the following two clippings. Possibly you may have a think coming. W. W. Myers WATCH FOR THIS ECLIPSE. E a Socialism proposes that the machin ery of production and distribution that is socially used shall be owned by all the people and that industry and poll tics shall both be managed democrat ically. The idea of such ownership and con trol is to make it so all may be mas ters of their lives and their jobs. It Is to make possible private property for all. The owners of a business control it: they automatically find employ ment- in it: they receive the benefit of it, so that profit from the owners is impossible. The profit system will, therefore, end under Socialism and each worker will receive his full soc ial product. With all employed at productive labor all will have incomes sufficient to banish poverty from the earth; and more than is now made can be then produced in three hours each day. Six hours would provide such bundance riches would become universal. The children will be released from the mills and placed in schools where industrial training as well as books will be taught. Women will find their place in the home, if they wish, and if they enter industry will receive the same reward as men. Socialism will not interfere with your religious beliefs or with your home lite except that it will make it It Will Come In 1991 and Will Remarkable Onj. For long disinu' predicting Profes sor David Todd of Amherst Iiiih inude bis mark, for he bus expressed the opinion that on July U. 1001. n the mountain peak of Poimculepetl or Ori zaba, In Mexico, there will be a great gathering of ustronomers and other scientists, possibly a greater gathering thau uuy one of I be sort ever taking place before that time. Hp has deter mined that on that date there will be the finest eclipse of the sun ever known since eclipses were first predicted with certainty, and these peults will be the choicest grund stand seats for the per formance. Ah eclipses are the only opportunities for studying certain qualities of the sun and sunlight aud as the energy from the Hun, wblcb supports all life on earth.

One reason why It will be a remark able eclipse Is that It will be total for 7 minutes 10 seconds. The longest one ever known was 0 minutes 20 sec onds, while the longest one that can ever happen can only be 7 minutes 58 seconds Another advuntuge Is (but the sun will be directly overhead, so that there will bu the least possible amount of In terference from the atmosphere. The great Interest in un eclipse Is the co rona? a hoop of light that appears when the moon entirely hides the sun. It Is from the corona that many of the most Important secrets of the sun have been learned. Professor Todd has found that In the next 300 years there will be nine total eclipses of the sun visible In Mexico, many of tbeni fine ones, though noue o valuable for study as that of 1001.

Neatness, bu thing and massage are recommended to men past middle age who would avoid manifestations of de cline. Dr. I. L.

'This does not mean that he should resort to the artificial devices that middle aged and elderly women em ploy to enhance their charms. It docs mean that he old man should stimulate the surface circulation by means of children. Socialism will end the barbarism of war: tne profits mat support prosti tution and the liquor traffic; the dread of unemployment; the horrors of pov erty; the arrogance of dominating canital. It will altord an opportunity to work and to rest, to have homes, to travel, to get an education, to develop baths aud massage, remove wrinkles as tney may wish ana to realize tne ana roiaH oy inunction with animal irood thev dream. It will lift the world to a higher olane of civilization and provide se curity, certainty and happiness for all. An editorial in the Washington Her ald shows with unusual frankness the tender feeling for private profit tak ers that shapes the policy of the aver age daily newspaper: Efforts are now made in some ot our large cities to establish a munic ipal svstem of food distribution so as to benefit both the producer and the consumer. It is claimed that in New York City alone the consumers would save something like $60,000,000, or even more a vear. But would it not be a vast upneaval if a similar scheme were to be prac- ced in all of our cities before the so- called middlemen had a chance of pro curing other avenues of income? The disturbance would be almost like a panic. A thousand million dollars, or even more, miirnt oe savea tne con sumers, but what is to become of the myriads of men, and their dependant families were they suddenly to lose their avenue of income .' Note the admission that a thousand million dollars or even more might be saved, and "myriads" of men released to more useful employment. All of which is to be accomplished by collec tive ownership ot means ot distribu tion of food. This would be a saving ot about $11) a year for every man, woman and child in the United States. What would be saved by the collec tive ownership of all socially used means of production and distribution? fats, try to stlnmlute the growth of hair on the bend and remove hair from abnormal situations as the ears, use a cane and wear braces to overcome the tendency to stoop, employ harmless cosmetic measures to Improve bis ap pearanfe, and, above all, observe a sense of neatness In dress.
