TILERE'S a chap coming to town next week, who Is the original provoker of mirth, without ex cepting Bill Nye, Solomon, Joe Miller or any other man history tells about. He's the one and only, and his name Is Dal las WXlford. Not so very long- ago had anyone mentioned that name to you, you'd have scratched your head, stood on one foot a. moment and finally wound up by admitting you were not "wise." But old Dame Fortune has a way of tapping now and then on one's door to let him In on a good thing, and this Is exactly what .happened to the public. It' was only a few years ago that Dal las Welford was a plain, ordinary barn stormer, and a barnstormer In Kngland at that. "Audiences are funny things, don't you know." said the funny man. "Every part of the world has a certain kind of a play patron and each takes Its humor In a different way. English audiences are hard to play to, for It is seldom you hear a roar of spontaneous mirth . go up from all over the house as you do In this country. You do or say a funny thing, and It takes a moment or two be fore It has a chance to percolate, and consequently the laugh comes In over the footlights in dribs.

We'll just remark that I first saw the light of day in England, and my family had the 'oldest son' ambition for me to become a barrister, a minister, in fact everything which did not suit me. and consequently I kicked over the ropes and tried the newspaper game. From that I worried my way Into a theater as press agent. The life was too strenuous, and I resigned. But I had got a taste of calcium dust, and when one once gets a good mouthful it's goodnight to any other following. I barnstormed Great Britain for a while and by careful engineering worked my way to Lunnon Town. After a few years tTiere, James K. Hackett brought me to America to play the role of 'Mr. Ilopkinson' in the New York production. "I played Hopkinson continuously until last season, when I spent a short time with 'Twenty Days in the Shade.' a scream along Broadway but a failure on the road, which goes to prove my contention a moment ago.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. 27. The aw authorizing the taking the 13th census next year makes no provision whatever for the compilation of statistics and data on irrigation development in the West, beyond a mere summary of the acreage under irrigation, and the total value of crops from Irrigated lands. Whether this came through oversight or design, the fact remains that a very important part of the census work, which was featured 10 years ago, will have to be omitted from the next census, un less the omission is remedied. Senator Heyburn, of Idaho, whose at tention has been called to the short coming of the census act, has prepared and will introduce next month a bill requiring the collection of very ex tensive data with reference to Irriga tion development in all parts of the West. Not only will his bill call for statistics on Government projects, but on private projects as well, and will provide for a very thorough examina tion and report. He wants everything that can be of material interest with reference to the subject. Senator Heyburn takes the position that if irrigation was an Important subject 10 years ago, it is many times more important now, in view of the tremendous activity since the last census was taken. His bill will have strong support from all Western and many Eastern Senators and Repre sentatives, for the data is of direct interest in the East, whence comes most of the money with which private projects are built. . MAN DIES INJTAKING BATH Chicagoan I'ses Vibrator Machine and Is Electrocuted. CHICAGO. Nov. 2T. Electrocution whill bathing was the late of Joseph P. Mc Inerney, a nephew of Alderman Mc Inerney. of the Thirtieth Ward, in his home last night. A current of 110 volts, the ordinary voltage of the commercial current supplied for incandescent lights, caused the young man's death. The shock was received when, in using an electric vibrating machine during his bath he leaned against the metal faucet of the bathtub, completing a connection which sent the charge through his heart. The victim was 21 years old. His father, Joseph P. Mclnerney. a South Side un dertaker, is just recovering from a stroke of paralveis. It was feared last night that the tragedy would cause his death.

Fritz Kreisler is not. alone in his opinion of the marked superiority of the fianola. The world's greatest composers, the fore most living virtuosi, the most distinguished musical critics and musical authorities every where have unreservedly praised the marvelous Pianola.

Cora S.: As you have so much trouble to make vour hair stay up and look neat, try shampooing it twice a month with a teasooonful of canthroj. dis solved in a cup of hot water. This shampoo is Hie one generally used by the best hair-Jressers. It produces an abundant" lather, dries quickly and not only cleans the hair and scalp well, but stop all irritation and gives the scalp a feeling of pleasing freshness. Canthrox makes a delightful shampoo snd will make your hair soft and fluffy? You will have little trouble then to make your hair look nice. Never use soap for shampooing, as it makes the hair brittle, harsh and takes away the glossy look. Mrs U E. : No doubt glasses spoil your looks. Probably you would have no need to wear glasses if you would use a ood eye tonic. Get an ounce of crystos from your druggist and dissolve it in a pint of water. Drop one or two drops in each eve once or twice a day. This is wonderfully strengthening to the eyes and will not mart or burn but raake dull-looking eyes bright and clear is just fine for dull, tired inflamed or weak eyes and for granulated eye-lids.

What you need is some ?ntSg to whiten and beautify your skin and take away that dark, coarse look The finest thing 1 have ever seen for this Is a lotion made from 4 ounces of spurmax. a half-pint of hot water and 2 ieaspoonfuls of glycerine.

In some of our previous "Talks on Teeth" we have considered the "bridge" and shown why it is at best a make shift. Now let us consider that other makeshift the "partial plate." There have been cases where such a plate, having anywhere from two to h dozen teeth on it, would stick up in the roof of the mouth or would be on the lower jaw, depending on which plale it was (upper or lower), with fairly good success WHEN NEW. But not for long. The constant shrinking of the gums changes the shape of the inouth and soon a little air is admitted under the plate, spoiling the suction, and down it conies, and the constant wobble up and down brings canker sores on the roof of the mouth and gums, so the man takes to wearing his partial plate in his pocket most of the time. If you have ever worn one you will agree thnt these statements are true. Tiie partial plate is a delusion and a snare, and no man or woman would wear one for a moment if he or she knew of a better way of supplying the vacancy in the mouth caused by the missing teeth. The Alveolar Method (Teeth WITHOUT Pl.ATKS OR BRIDGE! is the better way. If you have two or more teeth left in either jaw, tight or loose ones, we will supplv WTTHOl'T USING A PLATE Oi: BRIDGE WOII K the missing teeth and tighten the loose ones. (We abso lutelv cure Pyorrhoea.) This wonderful news to victims o poor teeth and poor dentistry. We not only supply the teeth that have been lost, but we cure the cause of the loose teeth which are left, and make them strong, tight and healthy. Then with the Alveolar method we put a full set of teeth in your mouth that are beautiful to look at; that you can use with tne same enjoyment you would get from nature's teeth, and that will last as long as you last. In comparison with the Alveolar Method of supplying teeth the partial plate and brldgework bear the same relation that a tallow candid dip bears to an arc light. WPJ CAN REFER TO AN ARMY OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD OUR WORK DONE. AND THAT IS THE BEST SORT OK PROOF. We have risen to a point where we no longer need to ask you to take this work on faith. We show the actual results. Are you a partial plate victim? Don't you want to throw the plate away? Come to our offices for a diag nosis and examination. If that is not possible right now. send for our book. "ALVEOLAR DENTISTRY." which will tell vou all about this work. The read ing of that book will bring you, if you need teeth, no matter where you live. IT IS SENT FREE. REMEMBER, please, that cheap den tistry is the most expensive in the end. Most of our business comes from those who have learned this from sad experi ence. Dtintal work should be artistic and beautiful as well as serviceable and lasting.
