Extension or the activities of the sorority promises to be the really big topic to be tnreshed out here at the convention of the Kappa Alpha Theta. A debate on the question of whether or not the organization shall devote its efforts to the study of education of girls instead of undertaking work out side of college circles is the feature of the programme for tomorrow. At today's session, which was one crowded with actual business affairs of the sorority, Hope Davis, grand vice president and chairman of the exten sion committee, advocated strongly continuation of extension, apd ex pressed the opinion that many strong colleges would be benefited. She de clared that a college fraternity is a strong incentive to those engaged In its activities. The election of officers also will be an Interesting feature of the pro gramme tomorrow, but, so far as known, there have been no slates pre pared. Three Petitions Presented. The grand vice-president said that a splendid new chapter, the Alpha Chi, had recently been established at Fur due, Ind. Three more petitions have been brought for the consideration of the convention. They are: Pi Theta Ku, University of Pitts burg; Kappa Upsilon, Lawrence Col lege, Appleton, Wis.; Phi. Randolph Macon Woman's College, Virginia. The question of granting a charter to the university of Southern Califor nia was referred to the grand officers and probably will be acted on this Fall.

Lincoln, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New ifork, Omaha, Pullman, Pittsburg. Philadelphia Spokane, Topeka and To ronto. The report of tho scholarship fund committee, a fund for assisting girls In obtaining or finishing their college education, established In 1902 by Mrs. J. B. LIppincott, of Los Angeles, shows that 12 girls were assisted. A fund of $15,000 had been pledged for this purpose, and the interest on this money Is used for a scholarship fund. The first real thrill enjoyed by the 100 sorority maids and matrons came today Just before noon. Joe wasn't invited to addres sthe convention, yet he sprang through the open door of the auditorium and gaily doffed his brilliant red fez, while just outside an Italian's asthmatic music-box struck up the strain, "On the Road to Manda lay." That was all. The grinder got no further, for the outer guard, dismay written over her pretty face, hurdled the grinning monkey and frantically wigwagged the wandering minstrel into silence.

(Special.) That property owners in La Grande cannot be assessed for street improve ments already made when they were denied an opportunity to be heard was the decision of the Supreme Court to day. Justice Burnett writing the opin ion, in the case of Jennie Murray et al. against that city. The opinion of the lower court favArable to the city was reversed. The City Council, after the original ordinance making assessments for the street work had been declared invalid, passed another ordinance reassessing the property. It was alleged that a section of the charter provided that In cases of assessments being set aside by courts the Council could make a new one. The reassessments were made, however, after the pavement had been laid. Says the Supreme Court: "The charter plainly contemplates street work yet to be done. It has no retroactive language. When the im provement is already made it is Im possible to make reassessment 'In like manner for the same purpose' as re quired by the charter."

GRANT ACT IS OPPOSED mr, lafferty would let coitrt . dispose: of laxds. Audience at Library Is Told That Con. gress Should Not Act Concerning; Oregon A California Holdings. ;A. W. Lafferty, at a public meeting held in the Central Library last night to consider what action should be taken for disposing of the Oregon & California land grant under the re cent decision of the United States Su preme Court, gave as hia solution of the problem that Congress should take no action, but that the disposition of tne tract to actual settlers should be left to the United States District Court In Portland. "The Supreme Court gave Congress six months to take action If It desired to do so," said Mr. Lafferty, "but left it to the United States District Court to prescribe the rules under which the lands are to be disposed of, if Congress' does not take action. "My opinion, as one who Is thor oughly familiar with -the case, is that we should oppose any legislation by Congress whatsoever, unless It be a bill to aid the court to enforce the law. If Congress should appropriate $2. SO an acre for the 2,300,000 unsold acres in the grant and take over the lands for the Government, we would never get the lands back: ' Once Con gress takes title, it's good-night to the people of Oregon. This land should be opened for settlement by actual settlers, as Congress in its original grant intended it should be. "You might seek from now till doomsday for a better administrator of the grant than Judge Bean or Judge Wolvertpn, of the United States Dis trict Court here. It is up to these two men to prescribe rules under which the lands are to be disposed of if Congress does not take action."

Scott, General Passenger Agent, Portland, Or. 1 OREGON CITY IS EYED Prohibition Law Goes Into Ef fect Tomorrow. STATE ACT COPIED IN PART Carrying Liquor on Cars Into Town Is Prohibited and Amount Eacb Person May Receive in Stated Time Is Limited. OREGON CITY, Or., June 29. (Spe cial.) The entire state will watch with interest the workings of the Oregon City liquor ordinance, effective July 1, following in every detail the prohibi tion law which goes into effect on the first of next year. The ordinance was prepared two months ago by City Attorney C. Schue bel. who attended the last session of the State Legislature as a Representa tive. It will take the place of the less stringent ordinance now in effect. Mr. Schuebel followed the state law In every particular, many sections be ing nothing more nor less than a direct copy of corresponding sections of the state law. Under the terms of this measure, Oregon City will try out the law six months before any other part of the state. ' The ordinance provides that no more than two quarts of whisky, wine or brandy and 24 quarts of beer can be received in . the city by any individual or family in a period of four consecu tive weeks. A certificate, stating the contents of the package, the consignee, the consignor, fie name of the com mon carrier and the name and address of person receiving the liquor, must be made out by the person receiving the package. Liquor cannot be carried Into Oregon City from Portland on streetcars after the new ordinance goes into effect. The passage of this strict liquor or dinance was one of the pre-election promises of Mayor Jones last Fall. Ethyl alcohol can be purchased from the drugstores, but the purchaser must have either a prescription from a physician or must sign a statement de claring that the alcohol is to be used either for mechanical or scientific pur poses. Even with these restrictions, the ordinance further provides that only two quarts can be sold to one in dividual in a period of four consecu tive weeks. Mayor Jones said today that, contrary to his previous expectations, the ordi nance will not compel those now hav ing liquor in their possession to dis pose of it.

To Keep Skin, in Fine Condition All Summer It would be much better for the skin if little cream, powder or rouge were used during the heated term. Mixed with perspiration, dust and grime, these things are anything but beautify ing. Ordinarily mercolized wax will do more for the complexion, and without giving an oily, streaked, spotted or pasty appearance. It is the ideal ap plication for the season, as it not only keeps the pores clean, but daily re moves particles of scarf skin which have been soiled by dirt or weather. By constantly keeping the complexion clear, white, satiny. It does more to ward perpetuating a youthful coun tenance than any of the arts or ar tifices commonly employed. One ounce of mercolized -wax, obtainable at any drugstore, will completely renovate the worst complexion. It is applied at night like cold cream and washed off in the morning. i To keep the skin from sagging or wrinkling, or to overcome such condi tion, there's nothing better than a face bath made by dissolving 1 ounce pow dered saxolite in s pint witch hazel.
