I be lieve the elimination of the redlight distrirt was a wise step. It hasn't brought an end to Immorality, but it has lessened the practice and I be lieve has given the unfortunate women a much better chance of reform than they could possibly have had If they remained in a segregated district." Mayor Phillips believes that the Mayor of a city of Aberdeen's size should receive a salary sufficiently large to Justify a man of ability spending all his time at city affairs. He said he was going to start .a cam paign to have the people of the city pay his successor at least $1800 a year for his work. The present salary of the Mayor of Aberdeen Is only $500 a year.

SOME TEACHERS RESIGN Betterment Funds Are Expected to , Be Seriously Crippled by Iate Spring and Shortage of Men to Handle Crops. SALEM', Or., May 3. (Special.) "Witlr labor scarce, appropriations ma terially decreased and demands for wages soaring, state Institutions con front a diecidedi serious situation, according- to reports made to the State Board of Control today by practically very one of the heads of such Insti tutions. In a number of the Institutions im portant places have been left vacant by resignations and it has been neces sary to plan makeshift arrangements to keep them on a running basis. At the Oregon School for the Deaf, it was reported by Superintendent Til linghast, the farmer, dairyman and en gineer, all experienced and picked men, left their places for better wages; one of the teachers In an important post has left and others are threatening to go. Insane Hospital Also Short. An entire readjustment of the teach ing force at that school was askedi for, and permission for such readjustment was given by the board. Superintend-ent-.Tlllingfc.st said that this could be done without increasing the salary list, although it will probably require some cramping. At the Eastern Oregon State Hos pital the labor conditions were re ported by Superintendent McNary to be bad. Enlistments have called away a large number of the employes, ad vances in wages are being demanded, and he says that it may be necessary there to prepare for a general readi Justment of the salary lists. The board, however, refused to give him carte blanche privileges In this respect, requiring him to make writ ten application for every salary in crease proposed. Late Spring: Troubles. Other institutional heads offered the same kind, of reports and the outlook eems to be far from encouraging. Another feature that developed at the board meeting also was the re ports on the late Spring, bad weather, and difficulty encountered with sow ing and planting. These conditions augur ill for a duplication of the re markable record made the last two years by the institutions in large crops pid big returns for the betterment lands.

Robert Burns, the West Roseburg rancher who disappeared from his home here under mysterious circumstances a few months ago, returned here last night and today resumed work on' his fruit tract as if nothing had happened. Although Mr. Burns refused to dis cuss the details of his disappearance, his wife said he left here with $10 in his pockets and went as far north as Alaska. As to his object in undertak ing the journey, Mrs. Burns is of the opinion that he was " Impelled to visit the scenes of his former operations, through some mental stimulus, which was.. induced probably by a blood clot of the brain.

WEATHER REPORTED FINE Much Planting Already Done In Vicinity and Air of Prosper ity in City Is Noted New Industries Are Thriving. ') BY ADDISON BENNETT. ALBANY, Or., May 3. (Special.) The Southern Pacific-Oregon Agricul tural College food preparedness train has been in Albany all day, and It has been a mighty busy one for the lec turers. The meetings began at 9 o'clock and continued almost uninter ruptedly throughout the day. The first meeting was at the Assembly High School, where Miss Cowglll gave a can ning demonstration and Miss Turley spoke on the preparation and conser vation of food; practically at the same time Professor Brown gave a lecture on market gardening and Professor Lamb gave a lecture on the poultry In dustry, at the high school auditorium. These were followed at the Junior High School with practically the same lec tures and demonstrations by the same speakers. At 2:30 o'clock, a large audience was gathered at the Armory, where Miss TJrley started the programme with a talk on food preparedness, etc., and Miss CowgiU gave a canning demon stration. Then the meetings opened in the cars and practically the same pro gramme was carried out there. It was found by Professor Brown that a great deal of planting had al ready been done on the vacant spaces about town, and Professor Lamb found many of the students Interested in the poultry Industry, many having little chicks already hatched. It is pretty hard to get a start in anything worth while ahead of the Albany folks. They are recognized leaders and not follow ers. . Albany looks mighty prosperous. The many industries in operation here all seem to be thriving, and whenever one comes here there always seems to be some new enterprise to chronicle. What is new to me today is the fur niture factory, promoted by Fletcher Linn, of Portland. Just now this plant is busy manufacturing tables, of which. I was told, they are turning out about 600 a month. The Brown loganberry juice factory Is busy turning out and shipping its product, which has a good sale In a large territory. The train leaves here at 8:30 tomor row morning and halts at Jefferson, where meetings will be held from 9 A. M. until noon, when we leave for Sa lem for the remainder of the day. The weather continues beautiful and the vegetation is coming along rapidly. If this state of affairs continues for a couple of weeks we will forget about the alleged backward Spring.

If there is disease in the neighborhood the germs will be in the air and will be carried into the home just as dust is. In the cracks and seams of woodwork the germs are lodged until sweeping or dusting whirls them into the air to be breathed into nostrils and throats, the entrances for contagious disease. Even- if the sweeper escapes disease, there is a strong likelihood that some other person will be in fected through breathing the germ-laden air. Brooms and dust rags are also carriers of disease germs. Disease germs can be killed in the home before sweeping or the romping of children stirs them into the air. Soap-and-water does not kill all germs, but Lysol does.
