Conservation of gasoline by the stopping of ali engines'in automobiles when such vehicles are not in motion was urged yesterday by Julius L.

RELIEF PLEDGED ASTORIA BAPTISTS HEAR S. J. REIO WILLAMETTE DISTRICT COX VEXES AT H1LLSBORO. Wliolc of Oregon Affected; Oppo nent of Tctt Repeal Urges Temporary Suspension. ' i The announced policy of Governor Oicott and State Treasurer Hoff, whereby concerns selling gasoline will be allowed to ship in and cell in Oregon a grade of gasoline used in California and Washington during the present shortage, will be transmitted to the president of the Standard Oil company today, according to J. E. Ealsley, sales manager of the com pany in Orrgon. It is expected that a reply will be received from the San Krancisco of fice, with proper instructions late today. If the officials of the Stand ard Oil company decide to accept the policy outlined by the state officials, it is probable that Washington gaso line now held in storage in Portland immediately will be released and that sasoline of 4he same grade will be shipped into Oregon at once. Oil Steamer Coming. Reports that the steamship 1S1 Se gundo of the Standard Oil fleet had cleared from San Pedro for Portland were received in Portland yesterday. No information concerning this ship ment had been received by Standard Oil officials in Portland and it was believed that the steamer was headed for Portland via Richmond and prob ably would not reach Portland for 18 days. Assurance was given Astoria can norymen and fishermen yesterday that at least 40,000 gallons of gasoline would bo shipped this week to As toria by the Standard Oil company, in order to insure continuance of opera tion of the fish industry and can neries. So acute is the situation in As toria, it is said, that cannerymen yes terday telephoned Governor Oicott of fering to stand the expense of a spe cial session or tne legislature to con sider the repeal of the' gravity test law. Available Supply 123,000 Gallons. The Astoria gasoline must be shipped today or tomorrow, from the present storage supply of the Stan dard Oil company in Portland, which totals 123,000 gallons. This would leave but 83,000 gallons of 56 degree gasoline on hand for use in the state, and unless relief is gained, would mean the immediate refusal of the company to furnish gasoline to pas senger and pleasure vehicles. An order was issued yesterday by J, K. Balsley, sales manager of the Standard Oil copany, allowing com mercial automobile trucks 100 per cent tank capacity in gasoline. This was done because of the effort to supply all industry and commercial concerns with sufficient gasoline, but will make a heavy drain on the supply. Two Town Hard; Hit. v La Grande and Baker have been hard hit by the gasoline shortage and according to a message by W. A. Ualziel, deputy stae sealer of weights and measures, the gasoline stocks in these two towns and the surrounding country are virtually depicted. State Senator Strayer of Baker who was one of the principal opponents to the repeal of the specific gravity test law at the last session of the state legislation yesterday sent a telegram to Governor Oicott advising him of the acute shortage of gasoline in Baker. Senator Strayer's telegram said that the Baker Automobile association fa vors the temporary repeal of the gravity law and that unless speedy relief is granted, the agriculture sit uation in around Baker will be come extremely serious. Whole State Affected. Virtually every part of the state has been affected by the shortage. Only in a few points were the Associ ated. Union and Shell companies have servic e stations is sufficient gasoline available. Ilt-prescntatt ves of these companies have said that although they have not as yet placed restric tions on the sale, they will be able to supply only the needs of their own customers. Gasoline stocks in Prairie City, John Uaj, Bandon, Alarshfield and other towns arc practically exhausted, according to reports received yesterday. Itcsol nitons urging conservation of gasoline by all users, and also urging the governor, attorney-general and state treasurer to take such action as would permit the sale of Washington and California gasoline were adopted yesterday by the board of directors of the state chamber of commerce, in session at Portland The resolu tion was as follows: rtrsoKed, That in iew of the extreme emerjrem'y that rxlula with reference to the gasoline supply' for Industrial and rnotor purposes, the board of directors ot the fcHate Chamber of Commerce strongly urse the Rovernor. attorney-Kcneral. state boater of weights and measures and other constituted authorities to take such action as wilt make, possible the use of jrasoline of same prrade us is used in California and Washington until such time as the crisis is past.

In order that the industries of this state shall suffer as little injury as possible under this condition. It be conies necessary for the weights and measures department to suspend prosecutions where the law governing the test of gasoline is violated until this situation is relieved." rorkrri Plead for Relief. During the conference Mr. Hoff in formed Governor Oicott that he had received a telephone message from Joseph Roman, Astoria banker, and member of the Oregon legislature, to the effeot that the fishing interests of the lower Columbia river would gladly pay all expenses attached to a special session of the law-making bodies in order that the gasoline gravity law might be repealed or amended to relieve emergencies such as confronts the people of the- state at the present time. Governor Oicott replied that the legislators had the gasoline bill be fore them last January, but that they took no action to relieve the situ ation. "What assurance have we?" queried Governor Oicott, "that the law would be repealed or amended even if a special session of the legislature were calleu. A telegram received from Senator Strayer of Baker was one of the in teresting exhibits at the conference. Baker Supply Nearly Out. In his message Mr. Strayer said that the gasoline supply at Baker was practically exhausted and that unless relief was forthcoming im mediately . many tractors would be forced to suspend operation and num erous industries would be compelled to close down. It was brought out at the conference that Senator Strayer was one of the senators who voted against the repeal of the gasoline gravity law at the special session of the legislature. Senator Norblad of Astoria, whp is interested In the fishing industry Astoria, where conditions are said to be serious as a result of the gaso line shortage, also cast his vote against repeal of the gasoline act. The house voted to repeal the gaso line law by unanimous vote while in the senate it was kept on the statute books by a majority of one vote.

'by all Astoria bankers and salmon packers has been sent to Governor Oicott-urging him to discontinue the enforcement of the existing grasoline gravity law. The telegram said: "Important you act immediately on gasoline shortage by discontinuing enforcement of gaso line gravity law until the legislature meets in January. Astoria has less than five-days' supply on hand. The enforcement of the law means that fishing and canning will stop on. the river by tieing up abojit 3000 fish boats and all cannery tenders. We ask your immediate action to relieve the situation so that we can use same grade as Washington and other coast states. Representative J. E. Roman tele graphed the state authorities today that he and Representative K. N.

' HOOD RIVER GIVEN SUPPLY Preference )n Distribution of Fuel Goes to Orchardlsts. HOOD RIVER. Or. May 11. (Spe cial.) While a carload of gasoline ar rived here today, officials of the Standard Oil company declared that it must last for the next two weeks and the fuel is being rationed to garages and service stations. - Dealers are re ceiving onl;- about a third of their usual supply. Preference is being given ranchers, who demand gasoline for operation of spray rigs and trac tors. The oil company, however, is demanding that these machines sub stitute kerosene wherever it . is pos sible. In order to conserve fuel for spray rigs, which must.be operated for the next three weeks, the Apple Growers' association is urging conservation of gasoline. : The merchants' association has been asked to limit deliveries to one trip' daily. Qrchardists are urged to pool their trips to town. - Many local business men who are accus tomed to motor from suburban homes each day have temporarily put their cars in garages and are now walking. GASOLINE RATION PROPOSED Washington Auto Secretary Sees Strict Conservation. S13ATTLK, Wash.. May 11. Douglas Shelor, secretary of the Automobile club of western Washington, ex presses the belief that automobile drivers would be placed on a gaso line card ration basis before tire sum mer is over. District or div'sion man agers of the three oil companies oper ating in Seattle predicted a rationing system during the months of June, July and August, saying pleasure ve hicles will have to be confined to the amount of gasoline used last year. Physicians and others requiring cars for public protection probably will be given first rights to gasoline. Mr. Shelor stated, and pleasure-car owners restricted to a certain quan tity weekly. Conservation of gaso line all over the Pacific coast for the summer months will be essential, he declared. Corvallis Club Opposes Test Law. CORVALLIS, Or., May. 11. (Spe cial.)

DIItKCTIOXS , The ointment should be applied Just before retiring, rubbing in well at the roots of the hair, but care should be taken not to injure the scalp by a too brisk massaging In the morning the KREAM should be re moved, using warm water and as lit tle soap s is necessary to dean the scalp. This procedure should be fol lowed every other night for three or four treatments. After this a very small portion of the ointment may be applied to the scalp twice a week Just to keep it moist and stimulate n n.tnrgl ha ir trnwth At u 1 1 Hf.in-- ' iats. ii and 50 cents. Adv. Soap should be used very carefully if you want to keep your hair looking Us best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle and ruins it. The best thing for steady usa is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo, which is pure and greaseless, and is better than anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sim ply 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. You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo at any pharmacy. It's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. Adv. To Make Hairs Vanish From Face, Neck or Arms Forest Grovo, Union, Kstacada, Mor row, Lebanon and Corvallis.

After 2 or 3 min utes rub off. wash the skin and it will be entirely free from hair or blemish. This simple treatment is unfailing, but care should be exercised to be sure and get genuine delatone. other wise you- may be disappointed. Adv. HAS NO PAIN NOW What Lydia E. Pinkham' Vegetable Compound Did for Mrs. Warner. Onalaskft, Wis. "Every month I had such pains in my back and lower rart ot stomach could not lie in bed. I suffered so it seemed as though I would die and I was not regular either. I suffered for s year and was unfit to do my housework, could only wash dishes once in a while. I read an adrer- tisement of what Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound had done for other women and decided to try it. It surely did wonders for me. I have no pains now and I can do my house work without any trouble at all. I will always praise your medicine as I do not believe there is a doctor that can do as much good in female weak ness, and you may use these facts as a. testimonial." Mrs. !Lestek E. War KDt. R. 1, Box 69, Onalaska, Wis. The reason women write such letter" to the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. and tell their friends howthey axe help ed is that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound has brought health and happiness into their lives. Freed from their illness they want to pass the good news along to other suffering women that they also may be relieved. - more entries will be received today, believes A. Tt. Nicholas, manager.
