Fighting Blazes. CANVASS OF CITY IS BEGUN Ijunclieon at Chamber on Saturday "IVlir Close Movement to Spread Safety Efficiency and Drills Even Into Factories. QtTESTIOXS TO BE ANSWERED BY PtPILS IN SCHOOLS. Has your chimney been cleaned this year? Has your home been Inspected by the fire marshal? Have you complied with all recommendations made by the fire marshal? t)o you keep ashes in metal can? Do you use safety matches only? If not. are they kept out of reach of children? Is your basement kept free from rubbish? Is any gasoline kept inside the house? Has moss been removed from your roof? Has Winter's wood been piled too close to furnace?.. Name 10 most common causes of fire in the home and school. A movement was started yesterday in the public schools to bring the ele ments of fire prevention to the at tention of the pupils, as one of the effective means for "cleaning up'" the city of Portland and reducing the fire hazards. Each of the pupils will receive a list f 10 questions to be answered, dealing with important points in fire preven tion, and the 800 teachers above the fourth grade will receive textbooks on fire prevention. During the com ing week Superintendent Alderman will request daily recitations concerning some of the important preventatives. The course of instruction ranges from a series of "don'ts" to practical edu cation in keeping down fires in the big timber of the state. It sets forth precautions against fire and how to fight one after it has started. fire Drills Reveal Efficiency. Fire drills are being held in the Schools that reveal an almost mar velous efficiency. The Ockley Green school of 700 children under high school grades yesterday was emptied without confusion in 57 seconds. The Jefferson High sent its 1500 students out of the building in one minute and seven seconds. During the rest of the week fire in spections will be carried on in all the down-town districts, as well as in the residence sections of the city. Inspectors were at work yesterday, and were going from home to home of fering their services to busy mothers and housewives. "It is hoped that the people of Portland will ask questions of these inspectors," said J. A. Jamie son, chairman of the fire prevention committee for the Credit Men's As sociation. Factory Fire Drills Sonsbt. In making inspections of down-town establishments the committee of busi ness men will endeavor to interest all factory employers in holding fire drills. "I recently inspected one factory where a large number of girls are em ployed, and it is true that only two women in the ' entire place knew where the fire escapes were located," said Fire Marshal Stevens yesterday. "That is one reason why we are ask ing the co-operation of employers this week in the fire prevention cleanup. "We want to make it possible for every employe to get out in safety in case of fire, and we believe the employers will be just as anxious to co-operate when they know the facts." On Saturday the cleanup movement will come to an end with a big luncheon at the Chamber of Commerce. A parade is being planned. It will start from the City Hall, with three or four bands in the lineup, and ac companied by several thousand schoolboys.

SCHOOL PROTEST PLAN MEETING CALLED TO I'HGB EARLY ERECTION OF BUILDIXG. CLASSES ARE URGE AT NIGHT SCHOOLS Attendance Already BOO and Addition to Proposed Unit la Being Advocated. Parents who reside in the district that will be served by the new Frank lin High School have been asked to at tend a meeting that has been called for today at 2:30 o'clock in the Creston School, which is the temporary quarters of Franklin High. The announced pur pose of the meeting is to protest against delay in the erection of the new Franklin building. That the pro posed building will not be large enough to accommodate the growing district for any length of time is another con tention that will be made at the meet ing, which is called by Mrs. Alva Lee Stephens, president of the Portland Parent-Teacher Association. City Commissioner Baker and Super intendent of Schools Alderman have been invited to speak. Following these addresses1 there will be an open dis cussion of the needs of the district as related to the new high school. It is also proposed that the gather ing form a permanent Parent-Teacher Association. It is said that this will be the first organization of its kind in Portland among, the parents of high school pupils, and that probably there is not a similar society in the state. 'More room will be needed at the Franklin High School," said Superin tendent Alderman last night. "That section of the city is growing rapidly and'there are already 600 pupils being cared for at the Creston School. By the time the new building is finished, there may be 750 to be housed."

He is expected to recover Dandruff Soon Ruins the Hair Glrl If you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for It will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't. It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff Is to dis solve 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. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. Tou can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails Adv. .-v-..
