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.

OFFICER LOSES STAR
Patrolman Bailey Accused of
Subornation of Perjury.-
PROTECTION IS CHARGED
Vouth Says He Was Urged to Swear
Falsely to Shield Druggist From
Trial for Alleged Sale of
Liquor to Minors.
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 Article contained
several illustrations from the school
garden work that has been carried on
In the city. 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.
