FAMINE TO BE AVERTED Eurp- control of the New Torlc state quar antine station to the Federal Govern ment. ' New York is virtually the only im portant port in the country where quarantine still Is under state control. In a statement discussing: the result hoped for from federal control, today. Mr. Newton said: "The akin? over of the quarantine control at porta on the Atlantic sea board, it Is expected, will' have's far reaching; effect on public health in the United , States, especially as it refers to the prevention of the Intro duction of quarantine disease from Europe. "Special apprehension is felt of in fection being: brought in after the war is over, when immigration will doubt- ess increase in voiuiue, and will in clude men and women from all walks of life - from nearly , all parts of WOMAN ATTACKS ATTORNEY Officials and Diplomats Are Hope ful and Step Is Regarded t Ivessening Prospect of For eign Complications. WASHINGTON, April 1. With the hope of securing- permanent protection for the 25,004 foreigners la Mexico City, the United States Government has proposed to the Villa-Zapata forces and General Carranza that the Mexican capital be declared neutral and outside the field of operations hereafter in Mexico's civil war. The Villa-Zapata forces have agreed to the proposal and are willing; to va cate the city as soon as a similar agree merit is obtained with the Carranza authorities, who are now being negoti ated with. Outcome Depends on Carranxo. On General Carranza depends also whether or not the effort of the United States 1o neutralize the railway be tween Mexico City and Vera Cruz shall succeed, as the Villa-Zapata officials have likewise given their assent to this DroDOsal. State Department officials-decline to discuss the status of the two proposals beyond saying- that they still were un der consideration. The plan with re spect to Mexico City contemplates an arrangement whereby order would be maintained there by a local council, made up of prominent residents select ed by mutual agreement between the oDDOslne factions. The capital would not then, under the terms of the pro posed agreement, be subject to further attack. Officials Are Encouraged. Officials and diplomats here who are conversant with the details of the plan are much encouraged by the prompt acceptance given to it by the Villa-7-apata authorities and are now hope ful that General Carranza can be per suaded to do likewise. Duval West, per sonal representative of President Wil eon. who. it is understood will confer with General Carranza at Vera Cruz in the next few days on the Mexican sit uation in general, probably will assist American Consuls Silliman and Canada in their efforts to secure General. Car- ranza's approval. Later, it is understood. Mr. West will go to Mexico City to talk with the Bra zilian Minister concerning the situation, should the capital be declared neu tral, much -apprehension for the safety of foreigners would be removed and the famine menace eliminated.- Since such a step would lessen the likelihood of complication with foreign powers, the plan, in the opinion of American officials, should appeal to all Mexican factions. . - No Important engagements between the Villa and Carranza forces were re ported to the Washington authorities from any source today, dispatches say ing that comparative quiet prevailed along -trie border and -that the Mexico City situation was unchanged. The Brazilian Minister at the capital advised the State Department that taxes on mining property in Lower California were payable at the capital or at Chihuahua, money deposited in any American bank to the order of the Treasurer-General of the de facto gov ernment being acceptable for that pur pose. The Departmentt had inquired whether Governor Cantu, of Lower Cal ifornla. was subject to the orders of the Mexico City government, various owners of American mines there hav ing been puzzled as to how to meet their tax obligations because of con fused conditions in Mexico.

Among those aresent at tKe banquet were ine toiiowing: Gray hair, however handsome, de notes advancing age. We all know the advantages of a youthful appearance. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray and 'looks dry, wispy and scraggly, just a i few applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances Its appearance a hundredfold. Don't stay grayl Look youngl Either prepare the tonic at home or get from any drug store a 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." Thousands of folks recommend this ready-to-use preparation, because it darkens the hair beautifully and re moves dandruff, stops scalp itching and falling hair; besides, no one can pos sibly tell, as it darkens so naturally and evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, its natural color is restored and it becomes thick, glossy and lustrous, and you appear years younger.

'"Portland's strategic position sur passes any city on the Pacific Coast, in fact, in the country," declared Joseph N. Teal yesterday in speaking on the "Celilo Canal and What It Means" be fore the Progressive Business Men's Club at the Multnomah Hotel.- "Please don't get the idea that be cause a man is for the 'open waterway' he is against public service corpora tions. I think the railroads and the steamship companies should work in harmony and co-operatively. "Keep your eyes on Pasco and Ken- newick. It is my prediction that in the early future they are destined to be come or greater Importance than we may now expect. "The opening of the Celilo Canal means much for Portland, probably far more than we now can imagine. It will mean the opening of a vast area to the east of us. It will mean bringing into this port far more goods and products than ever could have been the case oth erwise. The railroads are active. They see what the waterway means to them. There is to be another railroad-Interstate Commerce Commission conference in Washington this month, and I must attend, but I confess I am embarrassed as to' what can be done. I know not what will be done or what is likely to be the result. Portland's opportunity is at hand and she must be ready to seize it in the opening of this canal." J. P. Jaeger was elected first vice- president to succeed R. W. Nisbet, now in business in Seattle.
