Tee teafMas te Be neteraalaeseV The city engineer and Sir. Brown will probably meet today for the purpose of ueciding upon the third engineer to so into me question. The council has out ImeH the following two questions to be arvauy determined: "First Is It or Is It not a feasible proposition to dig the proposed chan ncl and. utilise the Columbia river siooita for a sewer outfall, and will It, ir constructed, make it a cafe nroced tire from a s in 1 lar y standpoint to util ise the slouah below the outlet of the new channel aa a sewer outfall?

Should the report of the outside en rlneer be adverse to the plaa of City Jr.nglneer laarxurd. the city will pay j-.ngineer nmwn loon for his services, but should Knpineer Laurgaard be sus tained tn his views the city will not be obliged to give Kngineer Brown any compensation, under the terms of the agreement made. Under Mr. aurgaard's plans the city proposed to construct a channel be tween the Columbia river and the slough at an approximate cost of $250,000. and later construct lateral sewers, as they are required, emptying into the Columbia river slough at vari ous points below the channel. Should this plan prove to be Imprac ticable it la stated that the only other means of providing sewer facilities is by construction of a main trunk sewer extending to the Columbia river which would cost millions of dollars. MILLlOr.AIREJS CONVICTED II. C Merrill, lined for Hoarding I'ood, to Appeal. IJOS ANGELES. The numeral five will hereafter be. a hoodoo in the life of Hulett C Merritt, the Pasadena millionaire, convicted of hoarding sugar io violation of the food conservation law. by a Jury in Uulted States District Judce Trippett's court. He was fined $5000 and given five months in the county JalL Kive sacks of sugar, or 500 pounds, wre involved. There were five attorneys In the case, three for Merritt. and two for tbe government. The original bond, of the accused waa $j000. Tbe new bond was fixed at $15, 0. three trmea free. The latter instrument had to be made Vefore United States Commissioner Stephen G. Long by E o'clock last evening. Judge Trippet denied the motion for a new trial and arrest of judgment after arguments of Edwin A. Meserve. for the defense, and Assistant United Mates nisrrict Attorney W. Fleet Calmer for the eovernment-. Notice will not fail, that no careless cook can spoil it, and that her guests shall finish their dinner with the tang of excellence. G.

When the matter of fixing the bond pending the appeal came up. Assistant United States District Attorney Lyndol L. Young auggested that the new bond be fixed at 125,000, but the "court placed the amount at $15,000. In passing J udgrnent. Judge Trip pet said that to only fine Merritt the limit provided by law, $j0u0. would cot be sufficient, as the payment would mean nothing to a man of the financial standing of Merritt. It would not mean as mush to him as the payment of $1 by some men. The court said he was convicted that Merritt was guilty . aa 'charged. and that the jury's verdict waa a right eous one. When sentence was pronounced. neither Merritt nor his wife gave any sign of distress. It was evident that they had steeled themselves for the expected shock. When Edwin A. Meserve was arguing for a new trial Merritt showed some feeling, but he Immediately straightened up. The financial standing of Merritt came up when Assistant United States District Attorney M. Kleet Palmer made the statement that Mer ritt had claimed he was worth $60. 000.000, and that he had alleged that he had accumulated money at the rate or $1,000,000 a year ever since he had reached the age of 34 years. in support or tne motion for a new trial Edwin A. Meserve followed closely the lines of- his address to the Jury that convicted Merritt. claiming that the evidence connecting his client ith a guilty knowledge of the pres"- ence of the 500 pounds of sugar at 407 Olcoft place. Pasadena, was not pro duced, and that the testimony furnish ed by Miss Anna Hare, the cook, waa hardly to be relied on nnder the cir cumstances of the case. Mr Palmer said that In his judg ment -Merritt was convicted bv the Jury without the testimony of Miss Hare, and he spoke at some lene-th of the various points made by the government as set before the jury by his associate, Mr. Toung, and himself. ?no ruing or an appeal will mat. pone the actual carryinir out of the judgement of the court from six to nine months at least, provided the case not revised by the United States circuit court or appeal. ....... tfS2 Carnation Milk Bread Serif Mix together 1 cup Carnation Muk, 2 tahlespocmfuls shortening. 1 table spoonful uar, and 2 tabieapoonfala Mil.

"Europe is suffering from an epiaemic or Dataness. i nis startling announcement was made by a well-known hair specialist. He attributes It partly to war con ditions and partly to a universal ten dency due to the advance of civiliza tion. 'During the last year, and espe cially since the armistice he said. "I have been surprised by the large num bers of young men, even youths, who are completely losing their hair. "Investigation shows this phenome non to have at least three causes: "Worry resulting from the war. "The injury caused to the hair roota and blood vessels of the head by tight fitting army caps and heavy shell hel mets. ".Vor Is the baldnes confined to Brit ain; It la preValent In most countries In Europe where war conditions have prevailed. "it Is affecting not only young men, but women although not to so great an extent. "But the primary cause lies In the advance of civilization. "If commerce, with all the romnetl- tlon, travel and hustle It entails, con tinues to advance so rapidly It is within reason that In two or three centuries Europeans will have entirely discard ed hair, thta rella of the brute stage, la plaee of It they will develop thicker seal pa.

SEIZED LIQUOR IN DEMAND Sheriff Has Many Friends AVben Confiscation Is Known. PARIS. Mo. Friends of Sheriff Nolen of this city were under the Impression the other day that he had a great secret that he was particularly anxious to keep to himself, as he was approached a score of times by persons who were soon engaged in earnest conversation with him on the streets, but to all of the importunities be was seen to hake hla head. It waa not learned until day or two later that the official had been approached to let his friends in on a ack of. liquor that the sheriff had taken from a negro and which -v stolen from a saloon in Hannibal. The insistence of those who were "dry" finally became so strong that the sher. iff locked himself in his office and hung out the nothing-doing" sign. "That whisky was "Old Crow and 'Old Wood pecker,' both bottled in sond and about tbe best that can be secured here abouts," vouchsafed the sheriff In dis cussing the Incident later, "and it was strange how thoset fellows who but tonholed me would have been willing to 'caw a little and 'peck a little at the slightest provocation. Tou would have thought they had Just come in from a long trip across the Sahara des sert; they were so dry. CANTEEN WORKERS LAUDED Army Officer Keplies to Criticisms of Y. M. C. A. SAN" FRANCISCO. "I have seen T. M. tj. A. canteen workers crawl on their bellies under the most devilish fire the Germans ever sent over. I have seen them die. I have watched these men mingle with the boys in the front line distributing chocolate, cigar ettes and tobacco. Never. have I seen Y. M. C. A. man charge any man holding a front line a nickel." In a few terse sentences. Major X W. Woolrldge of the 38th Infantry, who arrived at Letterman hospital at San "Francisco recently to recover from wounds received at the front, took a decided stand against the criticism of the association work In France, which the said was most unjust. "A few Inefficiencies can he charged to the exigencies of the war." said Major Woolridge, "but the T. M. O. A. men never failed by reason of their own negligence or desire. They cared for ninety-odd per cent of the army who were well- Their work was not mited to the wounded. They stretched their resources to the utmost. The criticism directed against this wonder ful organization la unwarranted. ' Mjor Woolrldge paid a splendid tribute to the boys nnder his com mand, who he said were the finest young men America ever produced. PALESTINE MAY BE ISSUE Kahn'g Fight on Zionism May Cost O. O. P. Votes of Jews. CHICAGO. The next national elec tion may find an issue in far-off Palestine. A warning has been Issued to the republican leaders by Habbt Hudolph L. Coffae of Tempi Judea. Unless the republicans induce Julius Kanu of the house military committee to cease his opposition to Zionism, the demo crats may secure SO per cent of the votes of Jews in America, Rabbi Coffee said. The Chicago rabbi .returned recently from California, where he had been visiting his motherless children and relatives. They reside In Congressman Kahn'n district. Dr. Coffee spent a week there and he says the Jews of San Francisco are bitter against Kaan'l attitude. The feeling had become so intense, be said, that indignation meet ings, were planned, but cooler heads prevailed and the meetings were aban doned. - Congressman Kahn has been justly credited with vigorous action in con nection with America's participation in the war. President Wilson declared his aid in rushing the selective draft measure through congress was Inval uable. His argument against Jews of America favoring colonisation of Pal estine is that they will hus be living under two flags. '"There Is only one flag for American Jews," he says, "and that is ths Stars .nd Stripes." This phrase of the congrepsmar, Rabbi Coffee said, "may be fine rhet oric but is poor logic Were we less devoted to our stars and stripes be cause we -went o the aid of Buffeting Cuba So years afo?

Swift & Company, XJi S. A. 1 ' ; ' ' hi energy on behalf of down-trodden l-eopli-. "His criticism of divided loyalty Is too late. The Jews in this war have proven their devotion by deathless deeds. Their valor in the Argonne forest last September as members of the "lost battalion" will live forever "The British government views with favor the return of thousands of Jews to the Holy Land. President Wilson holds a similar view and the peace conference, now in session at Ver sailles, seems to favor a British pro tectorate for Palestine under which favorable auspices Jews. especially from eastern Europe, may settle In Pelestine and have a homelanl. "I hope Congressman Kahn en second thought will retract. His view repre sent less than 10 per cent of the people throughout the country, and even still lefs of his constituents.
