H ASSIST ON FORGET-ME-NOT DAY, Good Roads Enthusiast May Act as Superintendent of Columbia River Highway Recommendations Submitted to County Board. John B. Teon resigned yesterday as roadmaster of Multnomah County. In asking that his resignation be accepted to take effect Immediately Mr. Yeon called attention to the fact that ha Is sow serving the Government In the production of spruce for airplanes, Which takes practically all of his time. 'Inasmuch as the Government work takes nearly all my time, I do not feel that I can do justice to the county, he said. "As the war is the most ln . portant at this time, I think it advis able for me to surrender the road- mastership and confine my efforts to the production of spruce for the Gov ernment. Resignation Is Unexpected. Although the resignation of Mr. Teon came unexpectedly to the County Com missioners they bowed to his wishes and accepted it without comment. It Is understood that the board will appoint no successor to Mr. Yeon, for the time being:, at least. It was intimated that the post might be offered to Superin tendent of Properties Eatchel. In view of Mr. Yeon's work in the construction and maintenance of the Columbia River Highway during his four years of Incumbency, and in view of the further fact that he recom mended that the highway be placed la charge of some person familiar with the work, the board appointed Mr. Yeon superintendent of the Columbia River Highway. It Is believed that Mr. Yeon will accept. Care of Highway Urged. In leaving the county employ after more than four years of service, with out one cent of pay, Mr. Yeon submitted to the board a number of recommenda tions relative to the maintenance and improvement of the highway. His recommendations follow: "I wish to recommend that the Co lumbia River Highway be handled by someone who would take the greatest care to keep the same as close to nature as possible in the way of pre serving all the shrubbery and unsightly signs from being erected along the road; also preventing cheap ice cream or cigar stands from being erected. "That a comfort station and drink ing water system be constructed at , Multnomah Falls, and a parking sys ' tern be obtained and improved to re lieve congested conditions of the high way. There are three or four good sites for this purpose which can be V, I . n V expensive to improve end have fine shade trees and running water. "The 40 acres which the Figure Eight runs through at Latourell should be obtained so as to hold same in its present natural state, preserving all the beautiful trees and shrubbery. Highway Held Great Asset. "Our highway is in a class by itself and should he maintained as such. It li the greatest advertising feature Fort land and Oregon has, and brings, joy and comfort to all the people who use it. It Is only in its infancy and every thing we can obtain, as above nen tioned, at this time will mean a great deal in the future. I sincerely hope that your honorable body will appre ciate the importance of our great high way and care for the same accordingly "I would further recommend that condemnation proceedings be started at once to acquire small pieces of ground at Crown Point as I have outlined to you, to be used for parking purposes, in this way, giving you full control of the whole point and enabling you to eliminate any unsightly buildings, such as ice cream or cigar stands, which would not be in keeping with the Vista House. NEW HATCHERY PLANNED BMPQUA RIVER. FISHERMEX TO FINANCE PROJECT. Plant When Completed May Be Under State Supervision Site for Estab ' llahment Selected. Fishermen of the Lower TJmpqua River are planning to establish a new hatchery for the propagation of silver- eide salmon, according to R. E. Clan ton, master flshwarden, who has just finished a five-day toui of the district. While in the district Mr. Clanton se lected a site for the hatchery which the river fishermen propose to build, without expense to the state. The new hatchery and its maintenance are to toe provided for by the .fishermen, who will levy a tonnage tax on the fish Ihey take from the river to cover the cost of the plant. "When their hatchery is ready for operation they wish it to be under su pervision of the flshwarden, and they will ask the state to supply a compe tent superintendent. The state Is already operating i hatchery for Chinook salmon above Roseburg with good results. This year the salmon catch in the river was the greatest ever known in the district.

Assistant Secretary of War Crowell has author ised the development of a plan of mili tary drill and health conservation for the thousands of girls and women em ployed in the War Department in Washington. Miss Susanna Cocroft, of Chicago, has been called to Washing ton to assist in this Important new work in co-operation with Captain J. I. Peyser, of the housing and health divi sion of the War Department, and Major George P. Ahern, president of the Gov ernment Recreation League. Under this plan military setting-up drill will be given to the girls ln-regu-lar company formation, similar to the drill that is building up the strength of our soldiers, but modified in some measures to make it particularly ap plicable to women. Other health and recreation activities, including tennis, boating, etc., will probably be Included in the work. This will be optional on the part of the girls, as well as se lective. These activities will be ar ranged so as to produce the maximum of wholesome result with a minimum of effort. It is also Intended to have the work of a social nature so that it will bring together the girls who are patriotically serving their country away from their homes in Washington war work. , , This new plan Is another example of the Administration to make the condi tions of employment in Washington ideal. Miss Cocroft 'commenced her work with a lecture at the Belasco Theater. Washington. Thursday after noon, July 18. This lecture was under the auspices of the War Department and was attended by over 2000 girls, The following -statement has been authorized by Miss Cocroft regarding this work: "These girls left their homes and came to Washington patriots, doing their share of the war work, and it seems logical to me that we should look after their health and recreation as we look after the com fort and health of our men in the can tonments. I'm sure the girls will be happier, more contented, more efficient, At least I'm going to do my best to make them and their mothers at home feel that the Administration here is their friend and the guardian of their welfare."

If we are very careful in hair washing, we will have virtually no hair troubles. An especially t fine shampoo for this weather, one that brings out all the natural beairty of the hair; that dissolves and entirely removes all dandruff, excess oil and dirt: can easily be used at trifling ex pense by simply dissolving a teaspoon- ful of Canthrox (which you can get at any druggist's) in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid enough so it Is easy to apply It to all the hair instead of Just the top of the head. This chemically dis solves all Impurities and creates a soothing. cooling lather. Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly clean,- soft and pliant, while the hair takes on the glossy richness of natural color, also a fldffiness which makes it seem much heavier than it Is. After Canthrox shampoo, arranging the hair Is a pleas ure. Adv. Society Women''J noted . Beauties 'of !
