TAFT SEATTLE MAX HOPES EX-PRESIDENT AYILL RO AGAIX. IMany Northwest Representatives to Attend League of Nations Convention in City. There is a man in Seattle who re prrets that the burden of his years for bids his attendance at the Northwest ern convention for a league of nations convention in Portland, February 16 and 17. He is John M. Kurascy, of 325 Park Place. Seattle. "I -was born a Daniel Webster Whig," reads the note of regret re ceived by the Oregon Branch of the League to Enforce Peace, yesterday. "I carried a torch for Lincoln in 1858. I voted for Lincoln in 1860. 1 left Chi cago with the Chicago State Artillery, April 21, 1861. I have voted for Taft fvery opportunity and hope to vote for Taft in 1920." While ex-President Taft has no an nounced intention of seeking again to be the chief executive of the United States, and while the mission which will bring him to Portland to address the league of nations convention is so non-partisan that Mr. Taft is in agree ment with President Wilson, it is thought the quaint note will please the ex-President and it will be shown to him when he reaches Portland. In addition to large numbers of prominent people who have already registered as delegates for the conven tion which will be held at the Munici- Careless Use of So&p Spoils the Hair Soap should be used very carefully. If you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, end ruins it. The best thing for steady use Is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or any' thing else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. Tou can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months.

MEN LEAD JV1ENTAL TESTS Average Equal to Tliat Required by Major-General in Army. If the "goof" psychological test of the mental ability of the group of per sons taken last Friday evening at the Lincoln High School by Dr. S. C. Kohs, of Reed College, is to be relied on. Portland's women are mentally in ferior to Portland's men. The average socre of the women was 122 while that of the men was 32 points higher. The entire average would show, ac cording to the Army standard, that the combined mentality of the little group is equal to that required by a Major-General of the Army. The aver age score was 131.6, based on a pos sible 212 points. Another test will be given by Dr. Kohs on February 21, to which the public is invited. Dr. Kohs has offered to' give the test to any group or organization that would be interested in testing: the mental ability of its members. Areo Squadron Man Home. HOOD RIVER, Or., Feb. 4 (Special.) Ralph Sherrieb. who was & member of the 495th Aero Squadron, arrived this morning from the East, having been mustered out of the service. He Drought with him a German rifle which he had picked up in the Ar gonne forest, and also a French cav alry sword, which he had found. While not engaged in. actual fighting, his squadron was near the front at all times, at hard work. He also brought two German bayonets, a long and a short one. The German rifles are sim ilar to the American guns, and the French sword has been somewhat rusted by its use, and also contains some nicks on the long, curved blade. INTERVENTION IS FAVORED RESULT OP CLASH BETWEEN CAPITAL, LABOR FEARED. George Rolph, Salt Lake, Tells Ro tary Club Early- Solution to Problems Paramount Need. The average business man the inno cent bystander must step into the fight between labor and capital before any permanent solution can be worked out, George Rolph, Salt Lake hotel man, told members of the Rotary Club at the weekly luncheon yesterday. "The tense situation In Seattle and other gathering clouds show us that the question of Bolshevism, labor unionism, capital and the high cost of living must be solved before we can proceed on the even tenor of our ways," he de clared. "We all know that labor has its just grievances that capital is not al ways in the right. We average busi ness men know that until a few years ago factory workers were made mere automatons, railroad employes were underpaid and that working hours were far too long. We would be most af fected by a strike such as is now im pending on Puget Sound, yet we let the extremes of capitalism and labor parley while we calmly and confidently await the result." Mr. Rolph referred to the Mooney case in California. "Mooney may not have been guilty, but he was capable of such a deed that I know from a threatening, venge ful letter written to Governor Spry with reference to I. W. W. trouble in Utah," said Mr. Rolph. "I can't under stand the motives of Governor Stephens In interfering with the march of jus tice in the Mooney case he has settled it for neither side." County Commissioner Holman ap peared in behalf of the proposed road encircling Mount Hood and connecting with the Columbia Highway at Hood River.

MARCH EXPLAINED. Provost Marshal-General Imagined , "Call Down," According to Secretary Baker's Ruling. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. Discussion at the Capitol of reports that Provost Marshal-General Crowder had been reprimanded by General March, chief of staff, led the War Department to au thorize a statement today that General Crowde.r's entire military record was unmarred and to disclose the origin of the reprimand story. It was stated that when the second draft was being planned. General March and General Crowder differed over the provision for medical exami nations and exchanged letters on the subject. The language of a brief abstract of General March's letter which went to division headquarters in the course of departmental routine waa construed by General Crowder as implying a reprimand and he took the matter up with Secretary Baker. The secretary wrote in reply that he found ' no reprimand was intended, but that to make this clear, he had had the language to which the general objected altered. Dr. Willard "Will Speak.

"It was generally talked among mv friends that I was In bad condition and no doubt I would have been if It had not been for Tanlac. but now I am as happy as a schoolboy, and am perfectly well In every may." said A.

"Why. do you know, I have actually picked up twenty-seven pounds since I began tak ing It. and it has not only restored my health, but my wife, who has been in a run-down condition for a long time, has gained sixteen pounds by taking it and is now like a different woman. "Some years ago I began suffering with indigestion and other troubles and commenced to go down hill. The gas on my stomach would bloat me up some thing awful and make my heart beat so fast that It was alarming. My less would swell bsdly during the day and on getting up In the mornings my face would be swollen almost twice its nat ural size. I could not sleep at all some nights and got so weak I couldn't even lift a bucket of water. The least exer tion would exhaust me and 1 couldn't walk a block without stopping to rest, and the perrplration would roll off of me In great beads. No one seemed to know what to do for me and I got ro bad off my wife was afraid to leavo me alone. My strength and energy were all gone and I was really a useless man and felt that I was a burden to my fam ily as well as to myself. Nothing gavo me a moment's relier and 1 had about given up In despair. "Same wonderful things happen In this world, and my recovery Is one of them. About September the" first I got me some Tanlac. little thinking it would do me any good, but the first bottle helped me and, to make my story short.

I never have the least trouble now with my stomach not a sign of gas. palpitation or Hhortness of breath and all the swellinar is gone, too. I am now strong and vigorous and can lift anything around two humircd pounds and carry it upstairs. Thanks to Tanlac, it has made new peopie. of both myself and wife and I can't help prais ing it."
