ging Arrests Expected.
The farther away the first of Janu
ary, 1916. the greater the demand of
thirsty Oregon for that which quenches
and exhilarates.
March already shows an Increase of
100 per cent over February in the Mult
nomah County demand for liquor from
outside the state, and February showed
in a similar period a 600 per cent in
crease over January. In the first 11
days of thi3 montn, express companies
have used 2400 liquor affidavits for cus
tomers. For the same period in Feb
ruary there were -needed but 1200. and
in January but 200.
Final statistics for February, com
pleted yesterday by Deputy County
Clerk Gleason. show that the demand
for liquor that month resulted in the
issuance of 3317 "booze" affidavits, of
which number approximately 3000 were
used for whisky shipments and 317 for
beer shipments. This would mean, in
round numbers, that during the month
6000 quarts of whisky had entered
Multnomah County, and 443 quarts of
beer. Beer shipments are expected to
increase rapidly with the advent of
warm weather.
Alaohol Uelkvrd Drunk.
Officers investigates the matter say
that an abnormal demand for pure al
cohol at drug stores indicates that an
astonishing quantity of the drug is
being usel in the county in beverages,
ljuring February, druggists issued 5S56
affidavits to customers desiring the al
cohol, they said on oath, for external
use. In tlie same period, only 72 pre
scriptions were presented by those ad
mitting that it was lor internal use.
Under the law, only the alcohol pur
chased on physicians' perscripttons can
be taken internally. All that which is
secured on affidavits must be used ex
ternally, says the law, and a violation
of this prevision, which entails the
breaking of an oath, is subject to a
penalty of from two to five years'
imprisonment.
It is said there is no doubt that a
frreat quantity of the alcohol purchased
for "external" use is mixed with bev
erages, for tho police court has seen
numerous cases of "alcohol drunks."
Two quarts a month are allowed those
desiring alcohol for external purposes.
Of the 585G alcohol affidavits, tha
average was used to .secure half a
quart.
Several DrnRgrlnts Suspected.
Several Portland drusgists are under
suspicion ot violating provisions of
me dry law and an investigation be
gun last week by District Attorney
Kvans i.s expected to bi mg returns in
the shape of indictments shortly.
The prosecution of the proprietors of
"Ambrew." a beer that is shipped in
powdered form and is advertised as not
being barred by the- prohibition law,
will be conducted by the Federal offi
cials, to whom District Attorney Evans
has turned over his evidence. Such a
concoction is expressly forbidden by
the dry law. and advertising to the
contrary, circulated through the me
dium of letters, constitutes a use of
the mails to defraud, the District At
torney holds, and that is the charge to
be brought against the Kastern con
cern. The bootlegging situation Is quiet
for the present, but several investiga
tions are under way, and Sheriff Hurl
burt expects to turn up some more of
fenders whose operations have been on
a big scale.
The trial of George Schults, proprie
tor of the Perkins temperance bar,
will come before Circuit Judge Morrow
on appeal early this week. He was
found guilty by a Jury in the District
Court and sentenced to 90 days' impris
onment by Judge Dayton.
NEED OF LEADERS FELT
PLACE OF" POWER IX SENATE IS EX
PECTED FOR Sin. HUMPHREY.
Longer Is Withdrawal Hraa House
for Election to Higher Post a
Mistake, Says Writer.
WASHINGTON. D. C. March II. (To
the Editor.) Ten years, or even five
years ago, it would have been a mistake
for a man who had attained the promi
nence that Representative William E.
Humphrey has attained in the House,
with high committee assignments and
possibly the speakership in alrht tn
leave the House in order to stand for
election to the Senate. Such is not
true today. Burton left the chairman
ship of the Committee on Rivers and
Harbors to be a. candidate for the Ben
ate. Henry, of Texas, chairman of the
Committee on Rules, is a candidate for
the Senate.
The position of floor leader of the
majority is the most influential place
in the House of Representatives, ex
cepting only that of speaker, and in
many respects it is equal to that of
the speaker. Yet Mr. Underwood gave
up this place, that would have been his
without contest as long as his party
was in power, and made a. fight for
the Senate.
These are but a few recent Illustra
tions of prominent men quitting the
House for the Senate. The reason for
their action is that conditions In the
Senate have changed since Senators
are elected by the people. Never be
The Easiest Way
to End Dandruff
Thera Is one sura way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely,
and that Is to dissolve it. This destroys
it entirely. To do this. Just get about
four ounees of plain, ordinary liquid
arvon; apply It at night when retiring;
use enough to moisten tha scalp and
rub it in gently with the XJnger tips.
By morning, most, if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every sin
gle sign and trace of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that ali Itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
Instantly, and your hair will be fluffy
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times batter.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. It i8 inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This aim
Pie remedy has never been known to
fall. Adv.
fore has a man with a notable record
in the House had so good a ehanao of
speedily reaching a place of power la
me oenaie.
The old leaders are nassing. New
leaders are needed. When Mr. Hum
phrey goes to the Senate he will find
that many of that body are men mat
he knew and served with in the House.
He will have a. large acquaintance in
both branches.
It Is interesting to note tha service
In the House of the members of the
Senate. Bankhead and Underwood
served 20 years in the House; Brous
sard served IS years; Williams, Bur
ton and Burleigh, 16 years: Ransdell,
Smith of Michigan, ' Sheppard "and

On March 4, 1917, 58 out of 96 sen
ators will have served less than four
years. Thirty-eight out of the 96 will
have served only two years. Conse
quently, good committee assignments
and places of Influence must go to new
men.

Senator Chamberlain, during his first
term, became chairman of the powerful
committee on Military Affairs; while
Senator Kern, another first-termer, is
the acknowledged Democratic leader of
the Senate, and James Hamilton Lewis,
with two years' service, is tho whip of
the Senate and the voice of the admin
istration in some important legisla
tion.
These illustrations tell why so many
prominent men in the House are seek
ing election to the Senate.
On the Republican side. Burton. Bo
rah and AVeeks are conspicuous ex
amples of first-termers who achieved
leadership.
It is true that the time was when the
new Senator, even if he had distin.
guished himself in the House, had to
hold his peace for the first few years
in the Senate, but such is not the case
today.. Seniority In the Senate is not
the great asset it once was nor will it
be hereafter. You can count on your
fingers the prominent Republicans in
the Senate. When the Republican party
again comeB into power, many of the
oio leaders will not be there.
The fact is that Mr. Humphrey has
just as good chances in the Senate as
he has in the House and better. In fact.
for more of the Republican leaders have
returned to the House than to the Sen
ate. The Republican side in the Sen
ate has too few good speakers. Two
of their best. Root and Burton, are
gone. There Is a great opportunity on
the floor for a man of Mr. Humphrey's
ability and experience as a debater.'
Mr. Humphrey will take with him all
his experience and knowledge gained
by 14 years' service in the House and
when he reaches the Senate he will re
tain his friendship with the members
of the House and will find that many
of the Senators are old acquaintances
that he knew in the House of Repre
sentatives.
In the Senate, !n point of power and
Influence, when the Republicans aealn
taxe cnarge, air. jiumpnrey will be
among the first half dozen. Just as he
would bo in the House. But there are
435 members of the House and onlv 96
members of the Senate. Humphrey, in
the eotn congress, will have more In
fluence and opportunity and greater
power in tne Eenate than he would have
in the House.

T HOSTS birds of passage, the genus

the family of A. B. Carlock, who lives
at SOB Thompson street.
For some time It has been the cus

to the back door.
Friday afternoon one of the cult
called and asked for fod. It was given
to him by Mr. Carlock's daughter. The
man bowed his thanks and departed.
But at the front gate he paused and
penciled the cryptic symbol
"M B l."
The Carlocs want to know what it
means, and they have asked the de
tectivo oureau to investigate.
It is conjectured that the sign may
read In the road code somewhat as did

The Importance of

In the removal ot waste material
from the body, the kidneys are called

The failure of these marvelous and del-
