Finding that the ordinance passed by the Council last Fall, requiring own ers of electric signs to pay a license of 10 cents a square foot, was not in popular favor, the City Commission, on recommendation of Commissioner Bigelow, yesterday repealed the meas ure. No license will be exacted, and persons who have paid licenses since January 1 will be refunded their money. At the time the ordinance was con sidered, about January 1, there was strong opposition on the part of mer chants. They declared they were do ing their full share in assisting In lighting the streets and sidewalks by the . signs, and should not be placed under the additional expense of paying a license to benefit the city. It was complained that the license would put many signs out of business, and there by damage the appearance of the streets at night. PERS0NAL MENTION. C. H. Judson, of Seattle, Is at the Imperial.

I'NDBRSTl'DY, RECEIVES OFFER VouBg Worker Cornea to Portland From South Dakota Wesleyan la 2 Veara Ins Right to Foreign Service. Lawrence Todnem, who has been here for the past two years preparing for foreign service with the Young Men's Christian Association, received formal call yesterday from the Y. M. C. A. international committee, asking nim to acoept a place in the China field. He has already notified the committee of his acceptance and will leave for the Orient before the end of the Summer. Mr. Todnem, who is one of the most popular secretaries at the Y. M. C. A., came to Portland from South Dakota. where he graduated from the Dakota Wesleyan University. In Portland he has served in the religious, social and educational departments of the asso ciation. He is one of many young men who, at different times, have selected he Portland association as a place to train for the foreign field. In connection with Mr. Todnem's de cision to go to China, L. Wilbur Mes ser, secretary of the Chicago Y. M. C A., yesterday addressed a group of men at the Portland association .on the progress of the association in the Orient. "This is a time of ODnortunitv In China," he said. "But two things are eeded. men and bulldintrs. When I was in Shanghai a few months ago I knew of occasions when it was neces sary to refuse petitions for badly need ed new associations. Men fitted for leadership can accomplish great things there. Portland now has several ca pable workers in China and I am glad Mr. Todnem is to be added to this list." 31 0.VOLOG 1ST HIT ON VAIDE V1LLE BILL. T . - 11 I : if v irt 'p)i i . V i Marshall I, Wilder. The ease with which Marshall P. Wilder keeps his audience at the Orpheum this week laughing for 20 minutes seems to justify the title of "prince of entertain ers" given him on the programme. Despite his deformity, Mr. Wilder has made of himself one of the cleverest monologists on the vaudeville stage. He has the art of "chatting" to his audience and of sliding in the point of his Joke in a half casual way at the end of the story. business of small concerns; will be dis criminatory, unfair and useless and will cause grocerymen to become criminals by force of circumstances, are the ob jections being made by grocers who are promoting the referendum on the measure. It was declared yesterday by Ben A Bellamy, who heads the committee conducting the circulation of referen dum petitions that there are now In the hands of the committee 40 peti tions bearing about 3500 names ancH there are 152 petitions still out which have not been heard from. He says he has no doubt that there are more than 8000 names on the petitions already. The committee expects to get double that number of signatures before filing the petitions with City Auditor Bar bur. v Meeting Is Called. Arrangements have been made for a meeting tomorrow night at the Sar gent Hotel, at which definite plans for getting in all the petitions and getting them filed will be made. Plans also will be provided for a campaign against the ordinance. Loyal IL McCarthy, who has been retained as attorney for the grocers, says the small dealers are much dis turbed over the ordinance, as it will prove a great hardship to thom if al lowed to become a law. He says there is no doubt but that the required num ber of signatures will be procured on the referendum petitions and they will be filed in time to stave oft the ordi nance until the city election In June, 1915. The ordinance as passed is billed to go into effect May 31. The committee handling the petitions consists of Ben A. Bellamy, Charles H. Corbin, T Havlett, J. Kiter and J. S. Brennan. In speaking of the measure Mr. Bellamy said yesterday that he be lieves all those opposing It have the same objections in mind. "It does not close grocery stores," he says. "It is a measure which would prevent gro cers from selling certain things on Sundays. It does not prohibit the sale of tobacco. Ice cream, soft drinks, meat, bread, fruit and many other things. It does not require delicatessen places to close and many of these places carry a line of groceries. They would be able to sell these on Sundays, while grocers would be forced to close." "Grocers Would Be MaB Criminals." "I favor Sunday closing," said C. H. Havlett. 'but this does not require stores to close. It only prevents the sale of certain articles. Should the ordinance go Into effect few stores would be foped to close. There would not be an article in the grocery Ime that could not be purchased on Sunday It would merely shift the business to delicatesssen stores and other places." "The ordinance would make crimi nals of small grocers by force of cir cumstances," said Loyal H. McCarthy "A grocer may have things which can not be sold on Sunday on the same shelf as things that can be sold. If a customer comes in and wants to buy a pound of butter or a sack of salt there is a strong temptation on the part of the grocer to accommodate that person. If he does not he satnds a. rhonr-o i losing his trade." 'This is not a question of whether grocery stores shall be closed or al lowed to remain open on Sundays " said W. B. Sloan. "Thr. do an impression that the ordinance would close the stores. There is no possibility of that under the ordinance as passed. If they want to close stores let them enforce the .present state law, which requires the absolute closing of all establishments on Sun days. Why should it ba nnv to sell necessities of life on Sunday than to sell luxuries, such as tobacco?" JURORS WOULD CONVICT Eight Sign. Statement After Discov ering Verdict Impossible. Eight of the jurors who wer hi. charged Monday by Circuit Judge Davis aner a iaiiuro to reach a verdict in the case against Ed Ruby, charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, signed a statement yesterday to the effect that they voted for convic tion from the start, and narmirtni Judge Davis to discharge the jury only after they were convinced that it would oe impossible to reach an agreement. ' At the third trial, held before Judge Dafls, the Jurors were out 96 hours, the court reprimanding them for their failure to return a verdict. Twice be fore Judge Kavanaugh had dischmeri juries which had failed to reach a ver dict. Those who signed the statement were W. H. King, H. C. Keck. Jamoa Scsrsfleld. C. J. Peterson, S. J. Everett.

ALASKAN ENGINEER HERE LIEUTESAST MEA11S, OF FEDERAL RAILWAY BOARD, EN ROUTE. Three Members of Commlaalon Will Lea-re Seattle About Jane 1 to Precede Surveyor's Corp. Lieutenant Frederick Meara, who was appointed May 1 by President Wil son as a member of the Government's Alaska railroad commission, arrived in Portland at 7:45 Tuesday night and was the guest of his brother, L. C. Mears, at 668 Everett street, until last night, when he left for Seattle, the future headquarters of the commission. The other members of the Alaska railway commission, "William C Edes, of San Francisco, chairman, and Thomas Riggrs, Jr., of Washine-ton. D. C, will leave Seattle with Lieutenant Mears for Alaska Boon after the first of June. Mr. Rise's reached Seattle last night and Mr. Edes will arrive the latter part of this month. "At a" recent Washington conference covering several days we formulated plans to send engineers and outfits to Alaska at once." said Lieutenant Mears last night. "Mr. Edes, Mr. Riggs and myself will go into the field with the surveying parties 1 and will probably be engaged in field work until October L One hundred and twenty-five men will be employed at the outset. "it would be impossible for me now to estimate how long it will take to build the Alaskan railroad, on account of the unusual character of the work. We will employ some residents of Alaska on the works, but most of the field corps, including all of the engi neers, will be sent from the United States proper." Lieutenant Mears Is chief engineer and general superintendent of the Pan ama railroad, having been called to Panama eight years .ago by John K. Stevens, with whom was associated in constructing the west end of the Great Northern railroad. School Meeting Ruling; Made. SALEM, Or., May 20. (Special.)

'T HEAD OF DANDRUFF Dissolve It, That's Best Way The only sure way to get rid of dan druff is to dissolve it, then you destroy 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 applications will completely dissolve" and entirely destroy every Bingle sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. Tou will find, too,w that all itching and, digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. If you want tp preserve your hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for nothing destroys the hair more quickly. It not only starves the hair and makes It fall out, but It makes it stringy, straggly, dull, dry, brittle and lifeless, and everyone notices it. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It Is Inexpensive and never fails to do the work. Adv.
