WILEY READS RUIN
IN FARM iiEGLECTi
All Industry Depends on Soil,
Says Food Expert.
STATE PLEASURES RAPPED
Doctor In Community Where Pub
lic Votes on Health Mat
ters First Time.
"If you do not back up the agricul
tural Industry there is no use promot
ing any other industry on the coast,
because agriculture Is a basic industry
and the country's prosperity depends
on it. No man is normal who ia not in
touch with the soil." So said Dr. Har
vey XV. Wi4;y, formerly head of the
government's pure food bureau and
known as the "father of the pure food
laws." in an address before the mem
bers' forum at the Chamber of Com
merce yesterday.
Dr. Wiley departed far afield from
hia usual stamping grounds in regard
to pure food, health and long life, and
became an able champion of the tillers
of the soil, declaring that he himself
was a farmer "and a good one." In
the course of his instructive and en
tertaining lecture the noted pure food
expert sarcastically referred to sev
eral measures to be voted 0:1 by the
people of Oregon at the coming elec
tion. Antl-Vacclnatloa Hit.
Speaking of the anti-vaccination
measure, which had previously been
assailed in no uncertain terms by Dr.
Alexander Kleischner, assistant secre
tary of the Metropolitan Life Insur
ance company. Dr. Wiley declared that
the title of the bill was a misnomer
end that it should be called "a bill for
the Increase in mortality in children."
"Never before have I been in a com
munity where matters pertaining to
public health have been taken out of
ihe hands of experts and put to a vote
before the people," declared Dr. Wiley.
"I do not think that a parent in this
fctate who has children of school age
wil' vote for this measure, because it
means that the school children will
not be protected against contagious
diseases."
But the subject that evidently lay
nearest the speaker's heart was the
problem confronting the agricultural
industry as a whole throughout the
country the problem of organization,
co that a just return could be guaran
teed the farmer for the capital in
vested. "The farmer himself has never been
able to set the price for his product,"
declared Dr. Wiley. "It has always
been set by someone higher up. A
good example can be found in the food
administration of the late war. The
manufacturers, the millers and the
middlemen were guaranteed a cer
tain return on their product: the
farmer was guaranteed a minimum
for his wheat. This so-called min
imum turned out to be a maximum,
with the result that the farmer was
left in the lurch, aa usual.
"I am not in favor of any organiza
tion that will take the individuality
away from the individual, but I am
in favor of a union of farmers where
by a reasonable return for his prod
uct is insured and an increased pro
ductivity will follow."
After a summary of his position In
regard to agriculture. In which he
pointed out that every census return
showed an increased congestion in
the large cities and reaffirmed his
belief that the answer lay in a pol
icy of educating the people to keep
in touch with the soil. Dr. Wiley
turned his attention to the present
monetary system, declaring that he
believed he had discovered a medium
of exchange that would prove invari
able under all economic changes.
Unchanging Standard IS ceiled.
"We need a standard of value that
does not change," he said. "Gold, our
present standard, has changed con
siderably during the last two or three
years, because gold is cheaper now
in that it will buy only half as much
as formerly. We need a standard of
value that is invariable.
"I believe that I have found such
a standard, and I am the only person
in the world who advocates this prin
ciple. I refer to a standard which I
have named Valdex, which is noth
ing more nor less than the value of
the amount of food necessary to sup
port an average man for a period of
one day. This unit of value has been
and always will be the same."
In a parting shot at some of the
"freak" measures before the people
at the coming election, the noted
pure food expert, declared that the
idea of interest rates being fixed by
vote or the people was "ridiculous
except for measures which protect
the people against URury." Interest
rates will Tlx themselves automatic
ally through the law of supply and
Jcmand. he said.

At the Theaters.
Pantages.
TWO headline acts are on "the new
Pantages bill. One Is the three
Kuhn brothers and theother Is an
original revue of Dixie days before
the Civil war. The Kuhn boys are
billed as "three white Kuhns." They
are clean-cut, nice-appearing men,
who sing in delightful unison, fea
turing their own original melodies
that have swing and rhythm. One
of them, Charlie, tinkles away on a
steel guitar. Eddie has a banjo and
the third brother, Rob, is an excel
lent comedian. He adds fun by
dragging around a mobster cello,
from which he extracts only groans
and flivver noises.
The act is further embellished when
an attractive Woman from the audi
ence sings one of their songs. They
introduce her as mamma, and Jolly
her unmercifully, to the delight of
the audience. They had a dozen en
cores. The Dixie revue i called "Mam
my's Birthday," and a clever woman
dancer and singer plays the role of
a happy old southern mammy. A
dozen talented girls give her a party
and each contributes a specialty. One
very clever little dancer Is a sensa
tion in two widely varying dances,
another is a violinist, another a pi
anist and One little maid gives a fine
imitation of Frances White, even to
the point of resembling her.
Pat Grant adds tome nimble eteps,
one pretty girl sings and they all
step and chatter delightfully. The
scene, a southern colonial mansion,
with the belles in party frocks of 60
years ago. Is impressive and artistic.
Lew Welch is a good Hebrew di
alectician and Character impersona
tor, whose work is well known and
admired along the coast. He returns
as a "prodigal father." who wants
his lawyer son to revoke a divorce
recently granted him from Rosie, his
wife for 30 years. The human appeal
is real and the comedy sets It off
admirably. A capable company as
sists Mr. Welch.
Will Rogers, not the lariat twirler.
but a clever comedian of natural
ways, is half of a skit called "The
League of Relations," in which he is
aided by Mary Rogers. They meet as
a once-wedded pair and proceed to
reminisce, weighing the past fun and
the trouble. They agree to try it
again, and It's so real the audience
sits happily applauding.
Lady Alice's pets open the bill in
a series of clever and cunning ca
pers. Cats, dogs, and even tiny mice
and rats, make up the performers.
"The Lost City" is in episode No.
9, and is thrilling to the limit.
Most of the automobiles imported
to Japan in 1918 were of American
origin.

TIMELY BEAUTY HINTS
Society women wash their own
hair, not because it is a fad, but
because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and be
sure they are not using anything
harmful. They have found that in
washing the hair It is never wise to
use a makeshift, but is always ad
visable. to use a preparation made for
shampooing only. Many of our
friends say they get the best results
from a simple home-made canthrox
mixture. Tou can use this at a cost
of about 3 cents a shampoo by get
ting some canthrox from your drug
gist and dissolving a teaspoonful In
a cup of hot water. This makes
enough shampoo liquid to apply to
all the hair instead of just the top
of the head, as with most prepara
tions. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt
are dissolved and entirely disappear
In the rinsing water. Tour hair will
be so fluffy that It will look much
heavier than It la. Its luster and
softness will also delight you. Adv.
