JARl'M & Blf;t M CIUCUS TWO HOURS OF I.AK.HTKHI ILLITERACY WAR ON L. R. Alderman Plans to Ban Ignorance in County. STATE-WIDE WORK IDEA City School Head Seeks to Tenth All IVrsons lo Head and Write and 7 Proposes to Make Direct Ef- fort to Keiich Vnschoolcd. - A war ,on illiteracy in Multnomah ; County that In hoped will spread ; throughout Oregon is to be waged by I "ity S'.hool Superintendent Alderman. ' He points to the fact that, although ; J his state stands well toward the head i ft the list on the Government's literacy ; statistics, there are still 2882 persons i in Multnomah County and 10,000 in ' 1reon who are unable to read and i "write. The State- of Washington, how ' ever, is charged with 18,000 illiterates. . Superintendent Alderman does not take the position that Oregon is In a ; lad way as regards illiteracy, but he ; .proposes to banish it from the state. , jlo hopes that the work will be prose cuted with such success that 'by 1920, allowing the lapse of 15 years for the ! work, Oregon will lead all the states - of the Union with the lowest percentage of illiterates. ; ; Direct Effort Proponed. . ' Mr. Alderman proposes to start his campaign by obtatning the names of ; illiterates in Multnomah County from .the Government census figures so that hose he desires to help may be reached ; rtirectly and receive the necessary In ; 3?truction. ; Superintendent Aldertnan got his idea ; ;of the necessity of work to banish illiteracy at the annual meeting of the ". Inland Empire Teachers' Association. I which met last week at Spokane. This : organization comprises the statoP of y Oregon. Washington and Idaho,' and :i00 teachers were in attendance. - ; At the meeting was Mrs. Cora Wilson -. Stewart, of Cowan County, Kentucky, county superintendent there, who dis covered some years ago that her county held the unenviable place of the most illiterate county in the United States. She set to work and interested parents in improving conditions, and was the originator of the "moonlight schools." held on moonlight nights, the ob ject being to teach the illiterate to read and write. Mrs. Stewart's Work Related. This work was successful and many were attracted to the schools, which accomplished their object to a great extent. However. Mrs. Stewart found that many illiterates yet remained who did not attend the schools, and the way to reach them was a difficult problem. She tried, through Kentucky's Repre sentatives at Washington, to procure the names of illiterates in her county, but secrecy was maintained and an ap peal to President Taft was necessary before she got them. Personal work followed, with the re sult that Cowan County now makes a vastly improved showing, and the work done by Mrs. Stewart spread over Ken tucky, as well as through other parts of the South, where such a movement was much needed.

Kvidence gathered by Will H. Warren, private secretary to Mayor Albee, re sulted yesterday in Patrolman R. R. Bailey being suspended from the Police Bureau by Chief Clark on a charge of subornation of perjury. It is charged that he Induced Joe L. Daly, a 19-year-old youth, to tell the police that he was 21 years - old when arrested for dis orderly conduct for the alleged appar ent purpose of protecting a drugstore on outer Hawthorne avenue from prosecution on a charge of selling liquor to a minor. Mayor Albee will discharge Kailey today. Mr. Warren has obtained affidavits from Mrs. Jennie M. Daly, of 181 Kast Thirty-third street, mother of the boy, in which she declares that Patrolman Bailey tried to get her to swear falsely as to the age of the boy, and from the boy himself in which he says that the patrolman got him to give his age as 21. Woman Makes Charge. Mrs. Daly said the policeman ap peared at her , home April 13 with a warrant for the arrest or her son on a charge of disorderly condui t She said he told her at that time that she had better give his age as 21 because It would go easier with him. The boy was not at home so he arranged to call later, she said. He called and took the boy to the Police Station Mrs. Daly said t.ie policeman returned later and met her at 933 Belmont street and called her aside. Mrs. Daly said the patrolman told her she had better give the boy's age as 21. She said she, refused absolutely to do this because it was known that she had not been married 21 years. In the affidavit signed by the boy, he said that while he and another boy. named Lee Cain, were in jail, the po liceman approached them and asked them to say they got the liquor "over town." He Is quoted as saying "If you don't it might go hard with ." giv ing the name of a druggist. " Bailey Is Third to Go. The suspension of Patrolman Bailey was the third discharge recently, since Mayor Albee announced his determina tion to "clean up" the Police Bureau. Patrolmen Murphy and Kellogg were forced to turn over their stars two months ago on charges of immoral -con. duct. Ex-Patrolman Bailey is 29 years old and married. He entered the police force June" 30, 1913, and had been in constant service since on Captain Ins keep's relief. He was reputed to be a good officer, but was on the carpet once for alleged misconduct, although the charges were dropped on account of his wife. Bailey is best known to many as a member of the Portland police quar tet. He possesses an excellent tenor voice and has sung at many festivities in which the police participated during the past year and a half.

School Garden Story Interests. An article on . the city beautiful movement and the school gardening in Portland by E. N. Welnbaum, which Was printed in the April number of Town Development, a New York maga zine, attracted so much attention in the Kast that the Portland Chamber of Commerce was in receipt of letters of inquiry from various Eastern cities almost before the magazine had reached here.

The letters asked de tails of the plan and suggestions as to how it might be applied In other cities. You Can't Brush or Wash Out Dandruff 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 appli cations will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dan druff you may have. You will find, too, 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. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store It la Inexpensive and never fails to do the work. Adv.
