'5 TYPE
OF FENDER BEST
OF TWO FENDERS TESTED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, ONLY THE
STREETCAR COMPANY'S DEVICE WAS FOUND USEFUL.
Six Safety Devices Tested..
Only One Fails to Mangle
Dummy on Tracks.
DECISION DUE TUESDAY
Experiment at Twenty-Sixth and
TTpshur Streets Discard Five Ap
pliances as tTseleso Com.
panyp Saver Approved.
Out of six fenders tested a.t Twenty
sixth and Upshur streets yesterday aft
ernoon, only one proved efficient In
picking up the dumtnles without
"mangling" them. The successful de
; vice was invented by the Portland Rall-
way, Light & Power Company. All of
the other fenders' Jammed the make
shift "victims" and tore them to pieces.
Mayor Simon, Councilmen Lombard,
Rushlight, Bills, Concannon, Beldlne;
and Menefee and a large crowd of spec
tators witnessed the tests.
Sp many attended that it became
necessary to call upon Captain of Police
Baty for a force of policemen to clear
the streets that those in charge might
proceed at .advantage. Many women
and children were among the specta
tors. -
No fender was decided upon for ap
proval, but next Tuesday afternoon at
the same time and place other devices
will be tested. Mayor Simon urged Im
mediate action, as did Councilman Lom
bard, chairman of the special commit
tee, and Councilmen Kills and Rush
light, the other members. It is a ques
tlon that has been agitated long, Tjut
never .solved satisfactorily.
All Types Tested.
Operation of the cars, furnished by
the Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company, was under the direction of
C. J. Franklin, superintendent of trans
portation. Every man believing he had
a fender worth trying was given a car
on which to make the tryout.
Long Dan. a Chinese, was the first
inventor to The given attention. His
fender projects in front of the car and
Is very complicated and ponderous. It
was a distinct disappointment to those
who witnessed it, for it jammed the
.dummy and tore it open in several
places, indicating that it would have
killed an accident victim. It was tried
several times, with the same result.
A test was then given a fender -Just
put together by D. A. Bonner, with
about the same results. This device
was adjusted under the fore part of the
car, and while it was said by the In
ventor that it would pick up the dummy
and keep it from rolling under the
network, it failed to do so and tore
the dummy considerably.
J? E. Durham's rotary fender was
next tried. It proved so distinct a
failure that it was given but one test.
It was attached under the car and
swung around as the car went forward.
It struck the dummy and threw it off
the track pretty well, but had It been
a live victim injury would have re
sulted, without doubt.
Kiser's Also Fails.
The Standard, a fender Invented by
L. M. Kiser, was then tried. It was
recently given a test In the Washing
ton Building, on the Lewis and Clark
Exposition grounds, on a floor, the
device being attached to a wagon. It
proved a failure then, as it did yes
terday. The dummies were invariably
jammed hard and torn, and were also
shoved along on the ground. It was'
tried with a living object, the car be- ,
' ing run at three miles an hour. The
man knew the car was coming, of
course, and when it got to him, he sim
ply fell into it, partly jumping In.
Superintendent Franklin, after try
ing all of the Inventions offered by
others, put the company's contrivance
to a severe test. He ran the cars faster
than on any of the others and in each
of three trials the automatic trip
worked to perfection and dropped in
stantly an apron of iron work, which
cleanly picked up the dummies and
saved them from being torn.
Mayor Simon and Councilman Rush
light discussed this device with Super
intendent Franklin. It is admitted by
the company that if the car would
strike a standing" object damage would
result. In all probability, but it is said
by company officials that this fender
will work to very good advantage even
then. It is an impossibility for an ob
ject to get under the trucks with this
device on a car. The mayor and Mr.
Rushlight said they believed if this
could be used with a pilot combined it
would prove highly satisfactory. Mr.
Franklin said he could not say what
protection such a device would pro
vide. ,.-

WORKERS EAGER. TO BEGIN
KEEP UP FAIRY STORIES
This "Writer 'Wouldnt Enlighten
Children on Life's Mystery.
PORTUA.TTD. March 15. (To the Editor.)
Having read a news report In The Ore
conlan yesterday giving the views of Helen
La Heine Baker, with regard to the enlight
enment of children on the vital subjeots of
life. I suggest that childish minds can only
grasp those fundamental truths in such a
, was as to convey tut little of their real
slfrntflcance.
Children are usually Imaginative, and love
fairy storiee and all the pretty fiction that
our old nurses and -mothers love to beguile
us with. Why seek to make childhood pro
saic and practical and tourden children with
these matters at all? Everyone knows the
inqulsltiveneas of young people, and to tell
them these truths would only lead them
farther into the realm of questions, which
might toe difficult to answer In a manner
suitable for a. child to -understand. For my
part. I do not see that any great harm Is
done to tell children that pretty fiction about
the stork" or "Santa Claus" or any pretty
fairy story. As they grow older they come
to realise that these are only play stories,
and laugh with their elders at their ready
belief In the old-fashioned delusions.
Why should anyone seek to destroy all
poetic imaginings, and make this old world
a dull, prosaic place, where there would be
no sweet memories of the dear old ingle
nook by the fireplace where we were all
assembled to listen to a fairy story by
Grimm or Hans Anderson, of the "Little
Matoh-GIrl"? There are many others, not to
mention "Alice in Wonderland." a favorite
with every child; and be It remembered these
stories all point a moral, which should be
explained to the children so that they may
understand the purpose of the story.
It is time enough to teach young people
the mysteries of life when they are able
to understand them, and of an age to bene
fit by the knowledge, but a good Indication
would be the disposition and tendencies of
he child Itself, and to act accordingly.

NEBULA OF ANDROMEDA
This Was Seen Over SI 1 vert on, Or.
Not HaUey's Comet.
WINLOCK. Wash., March 14. (To the
Editor.) I have been much Interested in
the discussions in The Oregonlan as to
Halley's comet. While W. H. Bowers of
Sllverton was evidently mistaken In what
he saw, yet his letter in The Oregonlan
of last Saturday was peculiarly fortunate,
as it awoke a new interest in this heav
enly visitor, which otherwise would have
passed hence without attracting local
notice and remained unmolested until its
reappearance late In the Spring.
However, Mr. Bowers did see some
thing In the sky, and his sight is keen to
have detected it with unaided vision. It
is the Great Nebula of Andromeda,
which presents a faint misty patch of
light, very comet-like In appearance, and
at this time of the year is in the north
west about 30 degrees above the horizon
in the early evening. I am mildly sur
prised that none of the men interviewed
on the subject seem to have recognized
this. It is not In Perseus, but, as its
name implies, In Andromeda.
There is, in Perseus, a beautiful double
cluster ot stars which, also baa tMa

A Remedy That Costs Noth

Claimed.
Resorcln la one of the latest and
most effective germ-killers discov
ered by science, and in connection
with Beta Naphthol, also a powerful
antiseptic a combination ,1s formed
which destroys the germs which rob
the hair of its nutriment, and thus
creates a clean and healthy condition
of the scalp, which prevents the devel
opment of new germs.
Pilocarpine Is a well-known agent
for restoring the hair to its natural
color, where the loss of color has been
due to disease. Tet it is not a coloring
matter or dye. ,
The famous Rexall "93" Hair Tonic
is chiefly composed of Resorcln. Beta
Naphthol and Pilocarpine, combined
with pure alcohol because of its cleans
ing and antiseptic qualities. It makes
the scalp healthy, nourishes the hair,
revitalizes the roots, supplies hair
nourishment and stimulates a new
growth.
We want you to try a few bottles of
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic on our personal
guarantee that the trial will not cost
you a peniw if it does not give you
absolute satisfaction. That's proof of
our faith in this remedy and it should
Indisputably demonstrate that we know
what we are talking about when we
say that Rexall "93" Hair Tonic will
grow hair on bald heads, except of
course where baldness has been of such
long duration that the roots of the
hair are entirely dead, the follicles
closed and grown over, and the scalp
is glazed.
Remember, we are basing our state
ments upon what' has already been ac
complished by. the use of Rexall "93"
Hair Tonic, and we have the right to
assume that what it has done for hun
dreds of others it will do for you. In
any event you cannot lose anything by

vague nebulous appearance, but is too
near the zenith to cause much confusion.
We may expect later on to hear of al
most any object being mistaken for the
comet when enthusiasts begin to leave
their early couches to get a view, before
the gray of dawn. Even Venus may
come In for her share of mistaken Iden
tification, until the weird strangeness of
Halley's namesake renders error Impos

HYPNOTIST MAKES TEST
HEAVY ROCK TO BE BROKEN OX
CHEST OF SUBJECT.
Complete Catalepsy Will Be Proved.
- Pelttam Anxious to Convince
Skeptics ot Ability. -
Professor Pel ham proposes to take the
chance of prosecution for manslaughter
or something worse at one of his per
formances this week.
Breaking a 300-pound rock with blows
from a 12-pound hammer when the stone
rests on the breast of a cataleptic sub
ject will be the feat with which Professor
Pelham will attempt further to convince
the Portland public of his ability as a
hypnotist. Pelham has sent out several of
his troupe to scout for a suitable rock. As
soon as it can be procured and delivered
at the Grand Theater the act will be
performed.
, Pelham asserts this feat to be the
supreme test of his ability to bring about
a complete state of catalepsy, hardening
the entire body so that it will sustain
the great weight of the stone and not
suffer from the Impact of the blows neces
sary to crush it.
The visit of 14 Portland physicians to
the theater to witness Pelham control the
flow of blood in the arm of a subject and
to restore it through suggestion has In
tensified Intere&t in his hypnotic per
formance. The audience watches the arm
whiten as the current of blood Is cut off,
and redden with its return at the com
mand of Pelham. As they find their way
out of the theater many are uncon
vinced, ' characterizing the performance
as a deception of the eye or some trick of
legerdemain. Pelham proposes to disa
buse the minds of skeptics by convincing
them that he has secured absolute con
trol of the body and its organs.
The great danger of the act serves to
excite interest in its exemplification. The
subject may not respond to suggestion in
such manner as to be able to withstand
the weight of the stone on his chest, or
as a result of delivering crushing blows
the body may sustain Injuries.

Read the Opinion of Oregon's Celebrated
Scenic Photographer, B. A. Gifford, About
NEAH-KAH-NIE MOUNTAIN
"In all my trips up and down the Pacific Coast, for several years past, I have
been taking photographs of the points of exceptional interest. There is scarcely a
rock or other natural formation that. I have overlooked, from the southern point in
Oregon, quite a distance up the Washington coast.
""As a result of these journeys, I now regard Neah-kah-nie Mountain as the
finest location on the Pacific Coast, both from the standpoint of scenic beauty and
a Summer home resort. It is a wonderfully entrancing property, and I wish you
well in the sale. ' (Signed) . BENJ. A. GIFFORD."
" March 1, 1910.
So far as scenic effect is concerned, it is probable that there could
be no better authority in the state than Gifford.
It is a fact that Neah-kah-nie 's natural beauty is unapproached
on this Coast. It is phenomenal in one respect: its topography
includes -every known character of surface, such as mountain and
meadow; bare spots and groves; hills and dales; sand beach and rocky
coast; precipices and plateaus; thrilling trails and pleasant paths;
dashing streams and bubbling springs; deep forest tangles and great
open vistas; steep mountain sides and level, expansive plains, more
or less gently rolling.
And, isn't that what the tired man. and growing family seeks
more than anything else during the Summera decided change from
anything they have ever experienced.
With all of its superior advantages, with veritable city improve
ments guaranteed, bungalow locations at Neah-kah-nie are for sale at
one-half the prices charged at any other improved beach resort in the
state. Ready to build upon.
