SALEM. Or, April 13. (Special.) J.
SI. Power. superintendent of the Salem
schools, submitted his resignation to
nlcht to the Board of Directors. His
resignation Is to bei-ome effective July
1. IJIJ. Arcomranylnc the resignation,
ha also personally submttted a resolu
tion by which the Roard "whitewashes"
blm. to all intents and purposes. His
resls-natton was accepted and the reso
lution was adopted unanimously.
This resignation. It is understood,
romes dlrett- as a result of school dif
ficulties which have been shaking Sa
lem High 8-hool. These difficulties
apparently are by no means ended, but
rsiher are Just starting.
While the resolution adopted by tha
Board declares that there has bean no
agreement 10 request the resignation
of Superintendent Power, that Powers
would undoubtedly have been dropped
fro... the list of school officials is
known. It was. however, tentatively
understood, aa predicted, that Powers
would be either dropped from the list,
requested lo reslgu or resign aa he
did.
Rrselstlos Is lalr4ared.
In addition to the resignation of Su
perintendent Powers, another dramatic
turn came tonight. when tMrector
Lalkr Introduced a resolution to abol
ish the associated student body of the
blah school. This wi'l be taken up at
the neit meeting of the Board, and It
now seems probable that It will he
acted upon favorably.
The resolution follows:
"Whereas, the affairs of the associ
ated student body of the Kalera High
t-hool have been seized upon by a
few who never have taken active part
In any student activities, and used as
weapona to Inflict upon some, who
hav been most active In advancing
such activities, the severest criticism
and censure for what at best seem only
to be Irregularities, and
"Whereas, this has been further used
.o keep the Higtk School In an uproar
is no otner cause whatever exists, and
"Whereas, a well defined opposition
to all stuxtent activities has thereby
been created among the taxpayers, and
"Wheeras. this will result In the
wlthdrawsl of hearty support and co
operation heertofore given by the cltl
lens of Salem.
Therefore, be It resolved that the
Associated Student Body of the Salem
High School be and Is hereby dis
banded and the officers thereof are
hereby directed to deliver all of their
books to the board and that from and
after the close ofthls school year all
student body activities as such cease
and terminate."
Aeressts Arc kss.
Just before the close of the meeting
Principal Kirk and J. C Moore, profea
sor of chemistry. Insisted that a state
ment In the summary of the recent
student body report, that Professor
Moore expended 1114 for which he could
make no report or account, be placed
open to refutation. In consequence
professor Moore submitted to the board
original requisitions and checks cover
ing the entire amount. No action was
taken on this move, as a resolution bad
been adopted asking for a full and com
plete Investigation of the student body
tffalra by the finance committee of the
school Board.
These requisitions and checks were
Identified by Treasurer Davis of the
student body, however, as being checks
snd requisitions, which bss been placed
In the bands of the Investigating com
mittee of the student body. Principal
Kirk, In a. letter to the Board, made a
demand for a full and complete Inves
tlgstlon of affairs of the body by the
Board, that he and Mr. Moore either
stand convicted or esoneratrd. and the
notion for the Investigation followed.
Etestratlss la Soaaat,
In the resolution whfi-h he submit
ted, along with his resignation. So
rr(ntenint Powera Incorporated the
following:
"Whereas. The report has been pub
lished sS coming from an authoritative
source: that a majority of this Board
has agreed to request the resignation
of itt Supertelndent. and farther, that
In the event such a request Is refused,
a majority of the Board would then
prefer charges against the Superin
tendent with a view to his dismissal
by the Board: therefore be It
"Resolved. That a majority of this
Board has never entered, and has
never -onempiated entering into any
su h agreement as has been reported;
t'.al such reports are untrue, having
no foundation in fact: that they were
.unauthorised by the Board and should
not have been published.
Be it further resolved. That this
ba'd appreciates at Its full value the
high character of the service rendereVl
to this s-hool district during the last
eight ytars by Superintendent J. M.
Powers, and sincerely regrets that any
report derogatory to this view should
have gained publicity.
"Ee It f.irther resolved. That the

CHILDREN MAKE HOME
Speculation aa to Some Causes for
Race Suicide.
Woman's Home Companion.
I think the man's Idea of "keeping up
appearances" has more to do with race
suicide than any other reason. Hus
bands nowadays would rather take
their wives to places of amusement
where they could meet and be seen by
"men higher up" In the business world,
than stay at home while their wives
minded babies. Let me tell you of an
absolutely true case to explain my
point.
A college man who had lived most of
his life. In New Tork. married a girl
from a small town In the South. Ha
brought her op to New York to live,
and established her In a down-town
hotel apartment.
"Now. dear. I'll show yott Just what a
good time little old New York can give
you." he told her. "I'll take you to
shows and games, and my friends
wives "will come and call on you, and
you ran Join their clubs: and we'll have
one long honeymoon." The girl realised
that she ought to feel very happy at
such a Joyous outlook, but somehow or
other It was not exactly the married life
she had planned. Instead, her dreams
had been of a little housekeeping flat.
And she had dreamed of sitting beside
him In the evening while he read his
paper and she mended and darned, and
eventually have dainty little white gar
ments to sew on, putting love In every
stitch. That was the dearest dream tf
all. However, a few months later tha
doctor told her one of her dreams wsa
to rome true. Never will she forget
the way her busband greeted the news.
She had dressed up In her prettiest
gown, and her happiness had made her
radiant. But when she had snuggled on
Jack's knee and had whispered tha
news, and waited for the Joyous ex
pression she felt must come. the waited
In vain. Instead, she felt his body stif
fen, and looking up she saw an ex
pression of horror and disappointment,
and hla Joyous words were. "Good
Heavens, not already V
If you looked Into their home today,
this is the picture you would see: A
man considered a "good fellow" by
everyone: a good husbsnd who takes j
his wife everywhere: son of 10. j
spoiled beyond endurance, educated at J
a fashionable school where every other
child is an "only child." and dlscon-

twice that amount of territory will be

THEATERS IN CHINA.
Spectators Smoke and Eat, Some
Remove Their Sandals.
The theater In China Is the great na
tional amusement. The Chinese will at
tend a play that lasts several days
without getting the least tired of It.
Figure yourself In a huge, dingy
barn crammed full of Chinese, mostly
of the coolie class, the men on one side
and the women on the other. Up above
is a huge gallery, also crammed with
men. women and children, smoking and
eating. Some have removed their
shoes and sit with their bare feet up
on the ledge In front of them.
As you push your way through the
crowd to your reserved pew, because
that Is what it Is like, you hear the
beating of tha tom-toms and the weird
squeak of the various fiddles. This Is
the orchestra, and tt plays throughout
the performance; there is no escape,
even for a minute.
The crash of cymbals and banging of
gongs never give you a moment's re
spite Through the dim. cloudy atmosphere
you catch sight of what Is happening
on the stage. There Is no scenery, no
drop curtain, no wings, and no foot
lights. The actors make their entrance
from doors at the back of the stage.
The whole play Is performed In Man
darin dialect. No actresses appear.
Although not actually forbidden. It Is
: considered extremely bad form for a
' woman to appear on the stage In China.
I All the women's parts have to be taken
by men, and the Impersonation Is abso
lutely perfect as to deportment, ges
ture, dress and figure, and, above all,
voice.
j Chinese actors are the lowest rank
' of all nearly, falling below the ordinary
coolie. The actor gets very little money.
The manager keeps him supplied with
chow, opium and cigarettes, and in the
brief moments when he Is not actually
acting he Is lesrnlng new parts, hun
dreds and hundreds of lines In blank
verse.

THree Sixes
There are three six-cylinder sizes to meet require
ments for moderate, intermediate or high power.
"38-Six" "48-Six" "60-Six"
Each motor possesses all "Six" characteristics and
advantages in the degree that has made Peerless
Motor Cars famous.
long- Stroke cMotors
The stroke in tho smooth-running, vibrationless
Peerless motors is unusually long. In the "48-Six,"
for instance, the stroke is y inch longer than in any
other American "Six" of similar rating. Peerless
motors, therefore, possess to an unusual, degree the
long stroke advantages flexibility, greater power
and smoother action at low speeds.
Cylinder dimensions: "M-Six", 4 xSW

Peerless "Bodies
The Peerless 1913 bodies are unequalled in beauty.

The discharge was so frequent and pain

to try Swamp-Root as the last resort,
which I did, and I was quickly relieved.
I continued taking Swamp-Root and
my weight has increased fifty pounds.
My health is of the best and I have told

A factor in the unapproached completeness of

Right selection of steels and proper heat treat

of a motor car, add to economy of maintenance, and
enhance the security of the passenger. The Peer

In the Peerless Motor Car you can ride all day
