TEACHERS ARE TO RELEARM NATIVES REFUSE TO TALK 0 GONE Tendency Is to Revive Picturesque Z Customs of Vore and to Prevent Children Moping During Recreation Periods. r SALEM, Or.. March 28. (Special.) Play and education, equipment, types" f school buildings, fames of various iinds, festivals and special days, ath letic meets and athletiq badge tests, field meets and other forms of exercise are topics discussed in a pamphle which Superintendent of Public Instruc tion Churchill is distributing among the schools of the state. Mr. Churchilll's idea is to teach the children how to play wholesome games and have re cesses devoted to such instead of leav ing the children standing about base ments and schoolgrounds, when they should bo getting needed exercise. Mr. Churchill was assisted in the preparation of the booklet by L. H Weir and Mrs. Stella W. Durham, Port land secretaries of the National Play ground Association. The pamphlet is entitled "Practical Recreation Manual or Schools." ; The booklet is beautifully illustrated ;with photographs of playgrounds from ;every section of Oregon. These show that in each section there are a few schools which are keeping the play grounds abreast of modern thought on the playground movement. The pur- pose of the bulletin is to show what may be done In ail schools with little expense. A photograph from District JSo. 6, Benton County, shows a play ground well equipped with simple ar laratus, and dozens of children wit! -happy, smiling faces. '. Play Knowledge Lacking. - it has Deen louml that in many schools the children do not know how -to play wholesome games that were played years ago and tnat many of the tteacbers do not remember them well :enough to teach them. This bulletin "gives a large list of games suitable for the various grades, carefully classified, with full directions how to play each game. Among the games for the pri mary division are: Cat and mouse, rab bit's nest, blind man's buff, simple tag ;'sames and a number of singing games, -.such as mulDerry bush, London bridge ;and farmer in the dell. For the inter mediate division are found shinney, ;Kuth and Jacob, rabbit's nest, prison er's base, blaekman and many others. :Kor the advanced grades, volley ball, ;baseball, handball, tennis, soccer, fox :and geese, blackman, follow the leader. . One chapter is given to the equip -nient and the preparation of the school 'grounds. At the beginning teachers ;are reminded that "A great deal of .trouble and poor results come from the "fact that too much attention s paid to apparatus and not enough tq the vital points of the playground, such as ispaee, surfacing, beauty and especially ;the play leader or leaders." All over Oregon new schoolhouses are being built and the Directors are anxious to get information as to how mucn ground they should buy for the school site and how it should be arranged. ;The bulletin gives them suggestions as .to the extent of the grounds, grading, surfacing and drainage. I Festa Occasions Provided Par. One chapter is devoted to festivals .and special days, Including the patriot lie holidays. Arbor day. May day, Hal loween, Thanksgiving day and even -Valentine's day is not overlooked, 'kittle children are always anxious to observe valentine's day and suggestions are given to the teachers as to how ;some literary and historic value may ;be given to the day's exereises. , I Everywhere there is a tendency to Revive the picturesque customs of May ,'day. Last year 6000 little girls ; danced the May pole dance in Central Park, New York City. How to carry out the day'3 exercises are told in this, bulletin, with illustrations from the -May day exercises held last year at Baker, Superintendent Churchill's home. All the schools in the vicinity of Baker were closed and 1200 children from tho Baker schools attended the exercises and 6000 people watched the children as they gave the May pole dance. Under the chapter for field meets contests are given for both boys and girls. The athletic badge test is given. The badges stand for physical efficiency and are worn by boys and girls in all parts of the United States. Importance la Emphasized. I "For the beterment of ehildhood, I both as to morals and as to health, there is no other work being under taken so important as the playground movement." said Mr. Churchill. "In many of our towns and villages the good effect of lessons of ir.dustry and morality, which are being taught in the publie schools, is destroyed by allow- j ing the boys and girls to be idle dur ing the recess periods and after school closes for the day, Teachers all over the state have, been asking for helps as to how to organise their playgrounds and directions for teaching the chil dren new games. The great importance of this bulletin is expressed in one par agraph of the introduction: 'While there is much to be said of the value of, play in the development of mental power, there is still more to be said for the moral value of it. Where -.here i 88108111655 and dishonesty play tannot continue. The child who chests becomes an outcast. Tre. rules of i-lean sport are the precepts of right living." "To give dares nd t- taka risks, to strive with all his mignt to win a goal. Oevelou a boy's will power, wnilo at the same time the restraint that he must exert not to play out of his turn, not to start bt-fore the signal and not to take an unfair advantage of his oppo nent, must needs develop self-control." RQWE PIGNEERJS HONORED 3Iny Guests ttend Birthday Fes " tivlties for Two. ROWE, Or.. March 28. (Special.) A birthday party was given at La Casa Monte last Saturday in honor of Mil dred Faueioij and Steve Mitchell. Music and games were x the diversion of the early everiins. and a dance followed the serving of refreshments. Purple, and white was the color scheme used in decorating. The guests Included Mr. and Mrs. Warren M. Cooper, of Hood River; Al len Emily, ef Sandy: Mrs. J. Gee, or California; Miss Hazel Mitchell, of Sandy; C. M. Miller, Charles Leady.

PASADENA, Cal.. March 2SFred- erick Weyerhaeuser, the aged million aire lumberman, who is ill of a severe cold at his Oak Knoll home, was re ported improved today. He was rest- ins; comfortably, but his physician said his advanced age made recovery a slow process. Mr. Weyerhaeuser was born in Ger many in 184. and came to America in 1852. Ha settled first in Pennsylvania, removing later to Illinois, and in 1891 St. Paul, Minn., got the then future 'lumber king." besides being probably the richest timberman in the United States. Mr. Weyerhaeuser is interested in many business enterprises throughout the country, in Minnesota particularly and in the Northwest generally. Besides being a stockholder and director in St. Paul and other Minnesota banks, he is the president of two railroads in upper Minnesota running into the rich coal country near the border line. He is vice-president of the National Ger mans-American Bank of St. Paul. Other than his beautiful Winter home here Mr. Weyerhaeuser has one of the most handsome homes on Summit ave nue, the aristocratic street of the Saint ly City, and is a close neighbor to James J. Hill. The Weyerhaeuser family, recognised the past few years as probably one of the richest In America, is noted for eschewing society and society's de mands in the general meaning of the word. They have been content to dwell n richness yet not foolish luxury, and the faet that Mr. Weyerhaeuser is seri ously ill has led to the receipt here of thousands of telegrams on the part of friends and relatives. TOLLS FILIBUSTER LIKELY (Continued From Flrat Page.) I introduced two weeks ago. It he does not take it up promptly I can say this much that delay will serve no useful purpose. "Senator O'Gorman seems to take the view that this controversy is a party asset instead of a party liability. I think the result of the vote in the House yesterday will have some effect. Inasmuch as it shows where the big majority of the party stands." The debate today in the House was spirited on both sides, party lines being disregarded. Representative Fitzgerald, chairman of the appropriations com mittee, who joined with Speaker Clark and Mr. Underwood in the revolt against the President, was loudly cheered when he advanced to the well of the House to attack the repeal. Fitzgerald asserted he had no sympathy for those who condemned the Presi dent for his views, but declared his firm conviction that toll exemption for American ships was essential "to pro vide effective competition with the transcontinental railroads, to increase the efficiency of our naval forces and to prevent the control of an isthmian canal by a European power." . Minority Leaders Conferring. Leaders of the present minority on the repeal issue, Democrats.' Republic ans and Progressives, already have be bun consideration of what course should be followed In the motion to recom mit the repeal bill. - Such a motion will afford the minority their only chance to get an amendment before the House. Several compromise proposals are under oonsideratfon, but not yet agreed on. The motion to recommit" will be made Just prior to the final vote on the repeal bill. Democratic leaders who met defeat yesterday were not at all cast down. They determined today to carry the fight to the end. and Speaker Clark is preparing to close the debate, probably next Tuesday, In opposition to the President's plea for repeal.. Represen tatives Adamson and Covington will :loee the discussion for the Administra tion forces. Senator Reed,of Missouri, injected a .icw phase into the situation late today by introducing a bill tq repeal tlie jolli sthool gardest. below la gra made: slide;. exemption on American ships, but pro viding further that foreign vessels might enter into coastwise trade. He sought, he said, to break up any exist ing American monopoly in coastwise shipping." BUI Admits Foreign Vessels. The bill provides that foreign owned vessels may enter the ports of the Unit ed States to the same extent and under the restrictions imposed upon vessels of the United States, the President to pre scribe and from time to time to change the tolls charged for the use of the Pan am a Canal by coastwise traffic. It is stipulated, however, that charges should aB nearly as possible equal the expense of transporting such vessels ithrough the canal, without seeking to cover any interest upon the investment or the United States in constructing the canal Senator Lewis also introduced a bill to give the President authority to sus pend tolls "whenever consistent with the interests of the United States." Representative Chandler. Progressive, of New York, who opposed the repeal, declaring' that the people in the 1912 election had indorsed the free tolls plank of the various platforms and that "for one man, no matter how high his station or how great his gifts, to now reverse that indorsement without an appeal to the people is not the way of our fathers who founded this Re public, but the way of a monarchy, a benevolent despotism." t lfr. Hswler Opposes Repeal. Representative Hawley, of Oregon, and Representative Curry, of Calrfor na. opposed repeal. Mr. Curry at tacked the Administration's foreign policy. "The policies and achievements of the President certainly cannot be viewed with satisfaction and commendation by his political adherents," lie said. "His experimental diplomacy has proved to be a failure. "The President is an exceedingly eru dite, well-meaning, kindly, polished gentleman, more highly educated and possessing more knowledge, if not more wisdom, than any of his predecessors. During the short time he has occupied the Presidential chair It has been dem onstrated conclusively that it was one of the most easy of intellectual feats for a scholastic Idealist to dream dreams, evolve theories and, in imag ination to govern the world from a philosopher's chair; but when it comes to dealing with flesh and blood, human nature, economio conditions and Nation al and international problems as they are, it is an entirely different propo sition."

Randall McCoy, nopogenarian and leader in the famous McCoy-Hatfield feud, died to day at the home of his grandson here of burns received last Fall. Twenty-seven years ago Randall Mo Coy's home was burned New Year's night and one daughter and two sons were killed by the Hatfield clan. He lost two brothers in a subsequent fight, but pursued the feud so relentlessly that he eventually forced his enemies Into hiding or out of the state.

CENSURE IS DISCUSSED Sharp- Division Exists Over Proposal to Condemn ex-Preniier and ex Finance Minister Cabi net Council Called. PARIS, March 28. Two members of the Chamber of Deputies which is In vestigating? the Rochette affair re signed today. They were Jules Dela haye and Georges Berry, who took the ground that a majority of the members of the committee were influenced to too great an extent by politicians. The resignations of the two deputies were presented at the end of a stormy ses sion of tha committee. The committeemen were divided Bharply in their views as to whether Ernest Monis, ex-Premier, and Joseph Caillaux. ex-Mlnister of Finance, should be censured. A Cabinet council was held today to discuss the delicate political situation brought about by the Henri Rochette scandal and the shooting of Gaston Calmette, editor of the Figaro. Mme. Caillaux. the assassin of M. Calmette, spent the day reading novels in baint Lazare- prison. At the inquiry before Magistrate Bouchart Into the killing' of M. Cal mette several . witnesses were heard, among; them Pierre Mortler. editor of Gil Bias. M. Mortier told of a conver sation he had with Mme. Caillaux over the telephone prior to the shooting. She expressed indignation at the pub lication of the "Thy Joe" letter and said it would end in the death of Cal mette. EXPORTS ARE CHANGING PROPORTION OF MANUFACTURED ARTICLES ON INCREASE. Agricultural Products, Forming Si Per Cent In 1S80 .Reduced to 49 Per Cent In 1913. WASHINGTON. March 28. The changing character of the commerce of the United States and the occupations of American people is indicated in a statement today by the Department of Commerce on the notable features of the import and export trade during the fiscal year 1913. compared with the trade of earlier years. It is shown that agricultural products in 1880 formed 84.3 per cent of the total do mestio exports, while in 1913 these were 48.1 per cent of the total. Exports of manufactures, exclusive of foodstuffs which were, in 1880, 14.78 per cent of the total, were in 1913, 48.8 per cent. According to the Department the transition of the United States from an exporter of natural products to an ex porter of manufactures has been a steady movement during the last third of a century. Crude foodstuffs which formed in 1880 32.3 per cent of the ex ports, gradually diminished and were in 1912 but 4.6 per cent of the total. In 1913, however, their percentage was slightly larger. 7.48 per cent, due to large wheat crop and unusually heavy exports of that commodity. Ferry Employes' Exempt In Haling, SALEM, Or.. March 28. (Special.) Attorney-General Crawford, in an opin ion today, informed Labor Commis sioner Hoff that men employed on the ferry operating between Marshfield and the East Side were not subject to the eight-hour law. He said that the men probably were on duty moae than eight hours, but did not work longer than eight hours. The opinion is In line with the recent decision of the Supreme Court In the case of the Portland police men and firemen. The ferry is owned by the county. Teachers' School Arranged For. ' OREGON CITY, Or.. March 28. (Spe cial.) Preliminary arrangements were made today by County School Superin tendent Calavan for the annual teach ers' training school, which will be held during the last three weeks of Auguet. It is expected that about ISO teachers will be present to receive instruction. Five teachers probably will be engaged to carry, on the work. Explorer Endeavors to Continue He- search Along Religious Lines, bnt Fears ' Keep Eskimo From Telling Beliefs. (Continued From First Page.) of beliefs and practices, I find there are still important gaps In my Knowl edge, and these I am naturally eager to fill. There has recently spread among them the belief, however, that it is a grievous sin in the eyes of God to express in words or to pass on to others their old beliefs wnicn tney still thoroughly believe, as our an cestors believed In the devil and witch craft, but which, like our ancestors again, they consider wicked, There are probably today few peo pie on earth to whoso mind's eye tn rewards and punishments of the future world are so vividly real as they are to the Eskimo, and no one can be more firmly convinced than they are that It does not profit a man, though he gain the whole world, if he lose his soul. It is therefore only from a few of my oldest and most especial friends I can this year get any information at all. and they tell me things with the intention (sometimes expressed and always I am sure at the back of their minds) of repenting of what they have done as soon as convenient after I am gone, and securing tnrougn prayer forgiveness of the sin. Eskimos Profess Ignorance. As It will probably become more difficult each passing year to get in formation regarding the things and the times of old. I am this year let ting few opportunities slip. In the Mackenzie Delta, where the religious ferver is at the highest pitch, I am unable now to get anything but pro testations of absolute ignorance certain things from the very men who told me them three years ago; others will admit they told these things then, but say that no consideration would induce them to repeat them again and that they told them before In ignor ance of the serious offense they were committing. When we got to Cape Halkett, late in jSoveniber. we found there en camped and trapping foxes a family which had been near Point Tangent the first week of October last. The head of this family, Angupkani known to the whalers as "The Stam merer" told me that during tho first week of October he saw one day shin offshore in the ice. With his deer-stalking telescope he could make the shin out plainly, even to her ropes. Her bridge was visible, but the decks were obscured by high ice. Had this high ice not been in the way he could have seen men on the deck, but no one mounted the bridge through a period of three or four hours, at tho end of which a fog closed down that did not let up for three days. Though he saw no men, ho knew men were on board, for all the parts of the ship that were visible to him were covered with hoarfrost except the smokestack, which showed that it must have been kept warm by banking fires below, although no smoke was seen. The vessel was tno ivariua., which, as is known, Angupkanna had a dozen times identified with his glasses when she was a member of the whal ing fleet that came to Barrow every year since 1S89 until mree years ago, when the whaling Industry in these waters practically ceased. The nar row Eskimos all have good telescopes and can identify the ships they know with certainty as far away as any sailor could with simlliar glasses. There Is therefore no doubt this vessel was the Karluk. Karluk Again Disappears. Angupanna said he could have board ed her easily had be bad three men more to help htm with his skin boat, but there were in the camp at the time only himself and six or eight deecripit persons and children, who had been left in his charge while the rest of the party hauled provisions forward to the trapping grounds near Halkett. When after three days, the fog lift ed', the Karluk had disappeared; northeast breeze had been blowing these three' days and the wind had no doubt carried the vessel beyond Bar row to tho west. I had previously learned that a vessel, without smoke stacks, yards, or bowsprit, had been seen by several Eskimos about 10 miles East of Barrow the first week In October. Wo are at a loss to guess what vessel this may have been, for so far as la known up here, no such vessel Is accounted for, unless, indeed. this is some ship lost some years ago that has happened to be set'fast in a particularly solid and safe cake of ice and has drifted about In tno eddy which whalers believe to exist north west of Barrow a sort of icy Bar gossa Sea. When wo left Barrow November s, the sea from the point south, so far as we could bear, and no doubt all the way to Point Hope and Kotsebuo Sound, was as free of Ice within sight of land as it could be at any season. The steady northeast winds were the cause of this, driving all ice to tho westward off the land. I had strong hopes, therefore, that tho Karluk might have been freed from tho ice by the wave action breaking' it into small cakes west of Barrow, In which case I hoped sho would be able to pro ceed safely south to some such port as Unalaska or Port Clarenoe, to come north again next year. Surveyor Found Alone. As we ashore were in no position to do anything: beyond what had already been dona that could affect in any way tho fortunes . of the Karluk, we moved on eastward slowly as before, and reached Flaxman Island the sec ond week of December. Hero we found E. de K. Leffingwell wintering alone, except that he had for neighbors one family of Eskimos who bad a house 100 yards away. Mr. Leffingwell had come north with our schooner Mary Sachs, intending to finish near I laxman Island some survey work he had under way from year before, and to go, after he finished the work, to Barrow by a small boat and by a whaler thence to Nome or San Francisco. The early freeze-up had not only prevented his return, but also tho doing of the task for which he came. Ho was therefore wintering, expecting to do the work next Spring, otherwise he could have left the country by dog Bled. We lett Mr. Leiiingweirs camp tne morning of December 14, and that even ing we reached the Winter headquar ters of our party at Collinson Point, 30 miles to the eastward. The establishment at our arrival was in the charge of Mr. Chipman, our chief topographer, in the absence; E-r Till 6 -A J.

"Lost Health" write: "Sadly I con fess that I am In need of a doctor's ad vice, and, believing you can help one in my condition. I give herewith my symptoms: A general breaking down of my nervous system has left me weak, nervous, despondent, trembling, dizzy spells, bad headache and a stiff ening" of the muscles and lieamenta. causing an infirmity which is not due at my age." Answer: Eat tho most nourishing foods, omit alcoholic drinks and take three-grain cadomene tablets regularly! of Dr. Anderson, who was gone east ward to the wintering place of the trading ship Belvedere, near Icy Reef. some 70 miles east of Collinson Point. learned from Mr. Chipman that tho Winter patrol of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police would leave Dawson on January 1 this year, instead of in November, as they did some years ago. to reach Fort Macpherson, near the head of the Mackenzie delta, In Febru ary, There was, therefore, still oppor tunity to send out mall, and Dr. Ander son had gone to take ours to the Bel vedere, which would, in turn, forward it with her own to the mounted police barracks at Herschel Island, from which a detachment of police would take it to Macpherson to meet the Dawson patrol. I was anxious to see Dr. Anderson as soon as possible, for, although I learned from Mr. Chipman and the others of our party that everything was in good condition, and all the men in the best of spirits, and, al though Mr. Chipman gave me an out line of a satisfactory programme of work, as they had- outlined it for themselves before my coming, it was necessary to seo Dr. Anderson at once to discuss and begin preparations for the somewhat more extensive pro gramme made possible by the coming of our party with Its 18 dogs and three jleds. I had left Mr. Jenness. one. of our ethnologists, behind near Cape Hal kett. with some Eskimos for the pur poses of study, but my other compan- ions. McConnell and Wilkins, and my NOTED AUTHORITY M Joseph Murphy, of the Call, Knocks Out Old Enemy Witn Akoz. From a condition where he was forced to give un work and seek re lief at the springs because of a severe attack of rheumatism, Joseph Murphy of the sporting department of the San Francisco Call, and one of the oeal- nown handicanpors on the Coast has fully regained his health tnrougn tan ne Akos. tho wonaeriui uauiornia medicinal mineral discovered by J. D. Mackenzie. I suffered many months from in flammatory rheumatism and tried many remedies, which failed to relieve me," said Mr. Murphy In discussing his case. "My physicians ordered me to tho springs, and I spent a couple of months seeking relief. I returned to San Francisco after spending a month at one of ,the springs and was some what discouraged, but hoperul that 1 would nnd. a remedy that would cure me. "Fortunately. I was advised by a friend to try Akoz, which I did. I took it internally, and, after a few days, I noticed a remarkable .change in my condition. I continued taking it for about two weeks, when I concluded I was well. Up to the time I took the remark able remedy I had been compelled to give un my work and the physicians seemed unable to give mo any relief. It more than a year sinoe I used Akoz and apparently the ailment' has entire ly left my system. From my own experience witn vna wonderful curative powers of Akoz, J am only too glad to advise all persons suffering from rheumatism to use Akoz and thus promptly end their dis tress." Akos is equally effective In the treat. ment of stomach, kidney and bladder for a month or two. Get the tablets in original sealed tube, with directions inclosed. Miss Belva asks: "I am sorely af flicted and want your best advice, I am troubled with goiter and too much flesh and fat. How can I overcome tho one and reduce the other?" Answer: Many cases of goiter com ing under my attention have yielded to treatment and disappeared almost to tally. The ingredients in 6-grain ax bolone tablets are used both to reduce goiter and to remove superfluous fat on the human body. I advise you to obtain a sealed tube, with directions accompanying. "Valeria" writes: "I am suffering with biliousness, stomach and kidjiey troubles. I am getting worse all the time. What shall I take?" Answer: For the troubles you men tion, the best remedy to purify tho blood and act on the liver and kidneys is: Three-grain sulpherb tablets (not sulphur tablets). Get those from your druggist in sealed tube, with full di rections. These act pleasantly, and if taken regularly they will gradually effect relief. By purifying the blood your biliousness will disappear. If you are dyspeptic you should take tablets trlopeptine with the sulpherb tablets. "Children" Your children should be given the following to correct them of bed-wetting: Tincture cubebs. 1 dram; tincture rhua aromatic, 3 drams; comp. fluid balmwort. 1 oz. Give 10 to 15 drops in water one hour before meals. This is good for young and old. Doctor: "I should bo very grateful for a remedy for catarrh. I have suf fered a great deal for the past year with bad breath, pain in my head and throat. Please tell in a what to do." Answer: I have found antiseptic Vilano powder to be tha best rumedy for catarrh of the head and throat. Many letters are received from people who are thankful to be cured of this dreadful disease. Go to any well stocked drugstore and purchase a two ounce original package of antiseptic V'ilane powder. Cleanse the nostrils thoroughly by snuffing from the palm of the hand a wash made by mixing one-half teaspoonful of the powder to a pint of water. Use this two or three times a day. In addition to this u-i the following balm in the nostrils daily: One teaspoonful of Vilane pow der and one ounce of lard or vaseline. Use this treatment at intervals to pre vent a return. "Anxious Mabel" writes: "My hair is falling out so rapidly that 1 am very much afraid that I shall soon be bald. I have also a great deal of dandruff, which causes my scalp to itch." Answer: You can stop your hair from falling, stop dandruff and make your hair soft and fluffy if you will purchase a 4-oz. jar of plain yellow minyol and use according to directions. It will promote a healthy head of hair and brings back the intense natural color. "C. R. C." writes: "I suffor with kidney and bladder trouble, have large fiuffs under eyes, swelling of ankles, rregular painful urination, with head ache, fever, chills, loss of appetite, etc." Answer: The symptoms you mention are present when tha function of the kidneys are abnormal, and I would recommend that you begin taking at onco balmwort tablets, sold onlv in sealed tubes, with full directions. -Adv. self, with the dogs and sleds of which here had previously beep a shortage, made reinforcements for the Collinson Point party which nearly doubled their resources, and this necessitated an expansion of tho plants for the work of the rest of the Winter. After two days at Collinson Point spent in getting a new traveling outfit ready. Captain Beneard. of the Mary Sachs, and I started east along the coast, meeting Dr. Anderson's return ing party about 80 miles from Collin son Point Our two parties spent the night together in the trapping camp of one of our engineers, Crawford, of the Sachs, about SO miles east of Col linson Point, after which I continued east with Louis Olsen for companion.
