"I got the best of results,
thank you," is quoted from a
letter signed by Charles Mc
Haney, of Canby, who ran a lit
tla ad in The Oregonian under
the .heading, "Help Wanted
Female."
It probably is nobody's busi
ness outside of the McHaney
family, but the manager of the
want ad department is just a
little curious as to which one of
his women readers grabbed this
opportunity to embrace the sim
ple life. He has them in all
shapes and sizes, but unanimous
as to complexions. This Sum
mer in Oregon has put a bronze
on very cheek.
That letter also shows this
man McHaney to be an appre
ciative chap, and life around
the mouth of the "Molallie" is
a pleasant chapter. So congrat
ulations to Mabel, or Maude, or
Mary, or whoever it was who
went where Hooverizing is a
real war issue.
It makes Mr. Want Ad Man
feel real good behind his vest
buttons to know that his page
is read by thousands of Port
landers each day, and that he is
daily bringing happiness and
satisfaction to hi people.

Following Conference With Pres

tee, Informs Men of Prob
able Early Ruling.
Streetcar men of the city voted last
night to await the decision of the Pub
lic Service Commission, as requested by
President Griffith, of the Portland Rail
way, Light & Power Company, before
calling a strike or taking any further
steps te obtain desired increase in the
salary schedules recently petitioned.
The report of the Commission is ex
pected any day. It Is not expected to
be delayed longer than this week.
Meanwhile the men will work, but they
are determined to obtain the advance
in salaries.
After a conference with President
Griffith yesterday the executive coun
cil of the local union reported to a
meeting of carmen that packed Arion
Halt to -its utmost capacity last night.
Fully 1000 men were present. Action
was harmonious and unanimous in de
ciding to await the verdict of the Com
mission. flights Are Ket Waived.
"A strike can be called in 24 hours,"
said a member of the executive coun

an v of our rights in waiting.
"We are certain to get the increase;

There was no strike prediction made.
It has been the avowed intent of the
men to adjust the situation peacefully.
and they have been met fully half way
by President Griffith.
He told the executive council mem
bers yesterday that if the cars of the
city system are tied up by a strike they
will not run, but will stay in the barns.
'We will bring no strike breakers
here," he Is quoted as having stated.
Way Oat Believed Possible.
Ways are open for the Public Service
Commission to grant the company
revenues sufficient to pay the 600,000
yearly additional that will be necessary
to meet the wage schedules, as asked
by the men, it is declared by officers
of the union, without putting into ef
fect the 6-cent fare. It is presumed
this would be by the curtailment of
service and the granting of the 1-cent
charge for transfers on city lines.
The request of the local union, formed
here a few weeks ago, was for a basie
eight-hour day and an advance of from
28 to 34 cents per hour to a scale rang

MEANS IS ACCUSED
Murder Charge Laid Against
Mrs. King's Agent.
PR0BADLE CAUSE SHOWN
Pefense Argues Woman May Have
Fired Revolver With Thumb,
Since Wound Was Inflicted
in Back of Read.
SALISBURY, N. C, Sept. SS. As
sistant District Attorney John Dooling,
of New York, announced here tonight
that additional arrests "probably will
be made" in connection with the case
arising -from the death of Mrs. Maude
King.
COKOORD, N. C, Sept. 25. Gaston
Means was bound over to the grand
jury here late today by Magistrate
Pitts on the charge of the murder of
the wealthy widow, Mrs. Maude A.
King, after Means consented to waive
further examination and the showing
of probable cause. Means was Mrs.
King's business manager.
The theory of the experts that Mrs.
King could not have brought the pistol
muzzle to bear on the spot where she
was shot in the back of the head rests
upon the supposition that when the
weapon was discharged she held it in
her right hand and fired it in the usual
manner, said Frank Osborne, attorney
for the defense. He contended that
she could have held the weapon and
fired It with her thumb:' Mr. Osborne
argued that Mrs. King did not deliber
ately shoot herself. "No one seekins
to commit suicide," he said, "would
shoot themselves in the back of the
head, but would fire at the front of the
head."
On the same grounds, he contended
that if Means had determined to kill
the woman, lie would have shot her in
such a manner as would enable him to
claim she shot and killed herself pur
posely. "

JUST EAT,SLEEP AND WORK
That Is all that some people do.
They are deprived of all the higher
things in life, all the pleasures and Joys
of existence because ill health has
robbed them pf their efficiency and
ordinary duties now take so much time
that there is no opportunity for relax
ation and social pleasures.
Are you like that? If you are. look
into your own case and see if worry is
not responsible for much of your
trouble. See If you do not fret ever
little things and scold when you could
just as well be pleasant.
The disorder which causes Its victims
to worry whether they have anything
to worry about or not Is neurasthenia.
It is the great American disease.
The patient is usually pale, shewing
that the blood is thin, and the first
thing tp do is to build up the blood
because anything that builds up the
general health helps to correct the
neurasthenic condition.
