He used to say. 'I can either beat you or not beat you, just 1 as I please.' Now, I can either try this case or not try it, and I'm not going to try it. I don't think you should be too quick to foreclose." - LAW AIMS AT "SPOTTERS" Mr. IMeck's Measure to license Chimneysweeps Before Council. Ousting of burglars and sneak thieves who "spot" houses by getting work as chimneysweeps is the purpose of the proposed new license ordinance aimed at the chimneysweep business, according to City Commissioner Blge low, author of the proposed measure which is now before the Council. He For Nelt Year, Total of $56 6 7 Ex pected to Be Available Financial Dealings Are Detailed In Final Report to Chamber. It required $36,917.87 to conduct the annual Rose Festival last June, and after paying this sum and absorbing a deficit of $1414.59 in the 1914 festival fund, the board of managers was able to report last night a surplus of $2889.92 to apply on next year's festival. Respite the fact that the 1915 fes tival has been conceded the best of the series of nine annual events, it is estimated that the cost this year was the lowest of all. ' Besides the actual cash surplus of $2889.92, the festival managers have available a balance of $2778.05 from the fund guaranteed by the Chamber of Commerce. At the time of the Chamber of Commerce - Commercial Club consolidation the Rose Festival managers had a promise of a minimum of $35,000 for the 1915 entertainment, but only $32,221.95 was used. It is ex pected that the $2778.05 balance will be applied on next year's fund. May Be Available Kext Year. In this event an aggregate of fo67.97 will be available next year. The festival managers met last night, closed up the year's business and pre pared their final report for submission to the Chamber of Commerce. The board consisted of Emery Olmstead, president; John F. Carroll, vice-president; Charles F. Berg, secretary; S. C. Pier. O. M. Hummer, George L. Baker, Jacob Ii Kanzler, J. Fred Larson, S. D. Vincent, Fi W. Hild, H. I Corbett and Ira F. Powers. Phil S. Bates was the managing di rector in active charge of the prelimi nary arrangements. Financial Statement Detailed. After submitting a detailed financial statement of the year's transactions, the firm of Whitfield & Whltcomb, cer tified public accountants, who made a professional survey of the association's books, made the following comment: "From a close and continuous obser vation of all transactions of your asso ciation from the date of its organiza tion to the present time, we have been Impressed with the efficient and eco nomical handling of its affairs, which factors, combined with a considerable amount of hard work by your presi dent, secretary and board members, re sulted in such unqualified success for the 1915 festival." In presenting their final report last night to the Chamber of Commerce, the Festival managers recommended the following plan for conducting the Fes tival of 1916: The 54 more or less civic and fraternal organizations that named the 12 governors of this year's event, to name only nine of the 12 governors, school Representation iTrged. . In view of the fact that the Cham ber of Commerce has guaranteed $25, 000 a year, the governing board of the members' council of the Chamber saould be permitted to name one mem ber of the board of Festival governors. On account of the prominent part taken by the school children, the Port land School Board should be permitted to name one member. Because the City of Portland has supported the enterprise liberally, the Mayor and City Commissioners should be empowered to appoint the 12th member of the board. It is proposed, however, that on ac count of the Chamber" of Commerce's heavy financial support, the secretary of the civic bureau of the Chamber phall be the business manager of the Festival. The Chamber of Commerce has not yet acted on these suggestions, but it in understood that they will be brought tip at an early meeting of the directors. The detailed report of the public ac countants shows that the total receipts of the Festival Association this year Irom all sources were $41,222.38, includ in. $4.14. 8S net proceeds from the op eration, of grandstands.

Action Is Deemed Too llasty and Trial Is Kefused. "Tou people are too hotheaded, too Impulsive. Tou should drink ice water," was the advice of Circuit Judge Mc Ginn to some litigants yesterday morn lng. S. Barbagellata had sued R- G. Busse and others to foreclose a $1500 mort gage. Judge McGinn didn't think Busse bad had enough time in which to pay. "I'm going to put this case over for a while. Give them time to pay up, said the judge. "If courts decide like this, what will become of the credit business of the country? protested Albert Ferrera, at . torney for Barbagellata.

NOTED R0SEGR0WER HERE Indiana Expert Advises Heavier Pruning and Iauds Portland. K. G. Hill, a celebrated rose grower of Richmond, lnd., originator of the famous Richmond rose, visited Port land yesterday. It was his first trip to Portland for 12 years. I have only one suggestion to maice to Portland rose growers," he said. "Although there are many people here who understand every feature of rose culture, a great many hushes could be improved by heavier pruning. "Rose growers all over the East know of Portland's roses growing on the street curbs, something" that Is seen nowhere else." SUPERFLUOUS HAIR REMOVERS ARE DAN Don't Use Poisonous So-Called Superfluous Hair Removers. You may escape permanent injury if you use so-called hair removers, but you cannot escap an increased growth because after each removal the hair is bound to rrow out more bristly and in time it will become so coarse that nothing will remove it but a razor. The only safe way to remove hair is to devitalize it. It is useless to use pastes or rub-on preparations because thev only remove hair from the surface of the skin. DeMiracle the original liquid depilatory, devitalizes hair by at tacking it under the skin as well as on the skin. Imitations of DeMlracle are as worth less as pastes and rub-on preparations because they lack certain ingredients that DeMiracle alone contains which give it the power to rob hair of its vi tality. Remember DeMiracle is the only depilatory that has a binding guarantee in each package 'which entitles you to vour monev if it fails. Insist on the genuine DeMiracle and you will get the original liquid hair remover. Others are worthless Imitations refuse them. DeMiracle is sold in J1.00 and $2.00 bottles. The larger size is the most economical for dermatologists and large users to buy. If your dealer will not supply you. order direct from us.
