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. You 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. OUCH!

HOUSE POLICY IS UNCHANGED Salary of Corporation Commissioner Increased to $3 60 0. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 12. (Special.) Xo change was made in the policy of the house today as to salary bnie, and it passed a meas ure by Representative Graham of Lane increasing the salary of the cor poration commissioner from $3000 to $3600 a year. An effort by Represent ative Lewis to have the referendum clause tacked onto the bill failed, as did a move to have the bill sent to the ways and means committee by the same member. Representative Dodd, chairman of the salaries committee, stated that, all told, ealary increases granted amounted to but $8050 a year. Representative Smith of Baker re sented imputations that the house was attempting to put over "salary grabs." declaring that any increases offered were based on merit solely, and de clared the legislators would be dis playing cowardice to refer the salary bills. The senate is sending all salary bills to the ways and means commit tee. The house also passed a. bill by Representative Burdick increasing the state engineer's salary from $3000 to $3600 a year. AUTO THIEF PAROLES CURBED Senate Passes Farrcll Measure by Vote of 17 to 12. STATK CAPITOL. Salem, Or.. Feb. 12. (Special.) Unexpected opposition to Senator Farrell's bill to prohibit the granting of paroles to persons convict ed for the second time of stealing au tomobiles almost caused the defeat of the measure when it came before the senate on final passage today. After an extended debate in which Senator Orton fought the measure on the as sumption that it is a slap at Juvenile Judge Tazwell at Portland, the bill was passed by a vote of 17 to 12. Senator Huston asserted that the judges of Oregon look .upon automo bile thefts lightly and he advocated the passage of the bill, which compels jurists to send second offenders to prison. "About all the punishment automo bile thieves get now is for the judge to tell them they are naughty boys and threaten to slap them on the wrist if they do it again," he argued. The bill was transmitted to the house this afternoon for consideration by the lower branch of the assembly. PARTY TICKET ADVOCATED Bill Re-establishing Straight Ballot Passes House. STATK CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Feb. 12. (Special.) Provision for re-establishment of the straight Australian bal lot system in the state, with party can didates segregated on the ballot and the voter given the right to vote a straight ticket by checking the circle at the top of the ballot over the party of his choice, is made in a bill by Representative Lewis which passed the house today. Party lines were drawn both in de bate and the voting, democrats hold ing out against a change in the ballot as now framed which snows no regard to party lines as far as arrangement of the names on the ballot is con cerned. . . Frantic efforts of the handful of house democrats to impress the repub licans as to their reasons for opposing the measure fell on unlistening ears. Friends of the measure say it has a good chance of passing the senate. ELMORE BILL RECONSIDERED Regulation of Social Evil Again Re ferred to Committee. STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or., Feb. 12. (Special.) The house today voted to reconsider the Elmore bill providing for the regulation of social evils along the lines of the war department and sent it to committee for working over in an effort to meet objections raised in the house. John McCourt of Portland was here in connection with the move to pull the bill from the bone-pile and inject some new life into it. An effort by Repre sentative Gallagher to secure indefinite postponement of the measure failed to gain sanction of the house. ROGUE FISH BILL DEBATED House to Give Further Consideration to Measure Today. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 1 (Special.) The pet skeleton of the Oregon legislative closet rattled its bones and stuck its head through the door this afternoon, when the house received a majority and minority re port on the Rogue-river fish bill. The majority favor its passage to close the river. The appearance of the bill started off fire of oratory this afternoon, but it threatened to clog the proceedings, and as a result further debate will be held tomorrow. TEACHER PAY RISE LOOMS Delegation Agrees to Report Favor ably on Multnomah Measure. STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or., Feb. 12. (Special.)

The bill will be presented tomorrow and placed on the calendar for final passage. Meat Inspection Bill Defeated. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 12. (Special.) Representative Thrift's bill to provide for county meat inspec tors only received 28 affirmative votes from the house today and failed to pass. The measure was backed by livestock men and by the state vet erinarian. Opposition developed on the ground that the state veterinarian now could send deputies to the coun ties for making inspections. Few Favor Richards Bill. STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or., Feb. 12. (Special.) Only 26 house mem bers favored passage of a bill by Rep resentative Richards which would ex tend the time for an employe injured under the factory inspection act in giving notice of contemplated action for damages.

Officers Still Maintain 'mat Jeal ousy and Xot Robbery Was Motive for Slaying. Police inspectors say they are on the trail of the ex-convict suspected Of the murder of Mrs. Lulu Duwell. whose body was found in the Gordon hotel Sunday, but though hinting at an early arrest they deny that either Al Schrieber, now in jail, or Roy Fitz Patrick, being sought, is the man. Schrieber is an acquaintance of the murdered woman, who was arrested Monday night on his arrival from Bellingham, Wash. FitzPatrlck, who lived at the An sonia hotel. Is said to have known Mrs. Duwell intimately and to have disap peared last Thursday with $150 in cash and the same amount in liberty bonds belonging to Hans Hartowuer, his partner in ownership of the Ideal res taurant. 122 Fourteenth street. FitzPatrick left hurriedly, taking only the clothing he wore. One theory is that if FitzPatrick took the money from the restaurant man he placed it in Mrs. Duwell's .hands for safe keep ing and the real murderer killed her to get it. Little credence is placed on that theory, however. A suggested motive which has not been abandoned is that of jealousy, but it has not been substantiated by inves tigation. The inquest will be held by Coroner Smith at 8:30 tonight in room 446 Courthouse. The coroners jury was selected yesterday and viewed the re mains. The body was sent last night from the Holman undertaking parlors to Pendleton in care of the brother of Mrs. Duwell, James Hines. The mother of the murdered woman lives in Pen dleton also. SCOUTS WOULD SAVE LAKE Kesol(ions Are Adopted Indorsing House Measure Xo. 3 7 6. If the Boy Scouts of Portland have their enthusiastic young way about it the lakes of Malheur and Harney will be set aside forever as refuges for the winged wanderers ducks, geese, crane and other aquatic fowl which seek them each season. For the Portland council of the organization has by reso lution voiced its approval of house bill 376, which provides that Oregon relin quish its right to those waters, grant ing perpetual suzerainty to the United States. The resolutions adopted at a recent meeting and in which every Boy Scout in Oregon will be invited to concur strongly indorse the measure submitted by Representative McFarland, which provides "that the state of Oregon re linquish to the United States any pos sible rights and jurisdiction over the waters and land of lakes Malheur and Harney, that the same be kept as a pre serve and protection for the breeding, feeding and resting places of native birds." Sidelights of Legislature. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb 12. (Special.) Representative Wright, who has been a more or less silent member in the session, turned loose with a couple of speeches today which gave the house an idea of why he was elected. He proved to be a regular talker. "Jim" Stewart and D. C. Lewis are running neck and neck for first place among the house wags. Today Mrs. Thompson took a fling at Lewis in regard to some remarks he' had made during the 1917 session. "I don't remember what I said during the 1917 session," remarked Lewis. "But whatever it was I am sure it was full of sound, sensible remarks." Jay Upton of Prineville. president of the Oregon irrigation congress, is stick ing around the lobby a bit this year. In the 1913 session Upton was a mem ber of the house and had control of one of the most famous house organi zations in Oregon's legislative history. George Chenoweth, the silent non voting member from Coos and Curry, sitting for Representative Stannnard, deceased, almost made a speech today. He got as far as "Mr. Speaker." but the speaker didn't hear him. Then GRAY'S 9 les irioe opportunity to secure Jones of Lincoln and Polk asked unani mous consent that he be heard. The Rogue river fish bill was under dis cussion, and when that consent was obtained someone else moved to put the whole matter over until tomorrow. At that time Mr. Chenoweth will make his maiden speech. ROBBERY IS CONFESSED Jacob Adler, of Portland, Arrested -for Crime at Oregon City. OREGON CITY. Or.. Feb. 12. (Spe cial.)

WHY MAKE THE STRUGGLE Nature Gives a Cry for Help That S. S. S. CanAnswer With the Right Treatment. This is the season when the damp. cold, changing weather of winter in tensifies the pains and other disagree able symptoms of Rheumatism. Rheumatism never comes by acci dent. It is in the blood and system be fore pain is felt. The symptoms of this Cisease are almost unnoticed at first, so insidiously do they steal over the body; gradually the little pains and stiffness increase until they develop great inconvenience day by day, and if neglected or im properly treated will become chronic. Not only is rheumatism the mOBt painful of all diseases, with Us swollen, Btiff joints, throbbing muscles, and stinging nerves, but it is a formidable and dangerous trouble. t.very day the poison remains in the system the disease gets a firmer hold and the patient is eoo.. left a helpless cripple.
