12 THE SUNDAY OREGOTIAX, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 4, 1917. DIVDRC :es laid to MODERN. SEX PLAYS Sensational Literature Also Declared Cause of Un happiness in Homes. BIBLICAL FORECAST CITED -' ': Evangelist Hayward Says Coming of Lord Is Indicated With Closing Days of World Ijec- ' tures Are to Continue. Sex plavs and sensational literature were ascribed last nlgrht by Evangelist Hayward as toe cause for unhappy homes and divorces. Mr. Hayward spoke at Arcanum Hall. Thirteenth and Washington streets. He announced his subject as "Moral and Financial Cesspools" and said: "The Bible points out the moral degeneracy and financial protligacy of our times Just as clearly as it foretells other conditions obtaining- in the world. "Modern styles in dress also must come in for their share of blame. The mad competition in social functions is largely responsible for many of the extreme and immodest styles." High Living Costly. He also referred to the high cost of living, styling it the "cost of high liv ing." 'In this day when the gospel of Jesus Christ is needed more than ever before, men are slighting it," he said. "Even many religious men are garb ing it in robes of philosophy.wThe Bible Is no longer regarded as an authoritive statement by an infinite God. Infidelity and higher criticism have undermined all moral restraint and the basest pas sions of the human heart run riot as though there would never be a day of accounting. Last Days Are Hinted. "The Scriptures speak of this time as a time when men shal be Movers of pleasure more than lovers of God, hav ing a form of godliness, but denying the power thereol, and this is aeeiarea to.be the condition that will exist in the last days. Can they be much worse? Trutly fhey are signs of the coming Lord and the closing day- of earth's history." The subject for tonight's lecture is "Signs of the Timos," by Evangelist IJart. There will be no lecture Mon day and Tuesday evenings, but Evan pelist Hayward will speak again Wednesday on "Smashing the Last Great World Umpire." and the lectures will continue throughout the week.

Nrvr Scale Proposed Cutting Time of Srrvlte to five Minutes Likely to Bring Trouble. Jitneys have run up against the snag of patrons demanding that they oper ate off their routes and, accordingly, a change was announced yesterday in rates. ITp to this time they have been giving a 15-minute ride for 5 cents. This is to be cut down to a five-minute ride for 5 cents. New rate cards appeared yesterday and were submitted to Commissioner Dieck. A few were approved before a joker was found in the schedule and Issuance of further requests were de nied and those that had been issued were . recalled. The joker was in the form of a higher rate for a ride of 40 or 50 minutes than the rate for one hour. The jitneys, to escape the City Coun cil's regulations, established themselves as 6-ceut taxicabs. They-posted rates of 5-cent fare for a 15-mlnute ride. This has enabled patrons to take a jit ney in any part of the city and demand a ride in any direction for 5 cents. And many patrons have taken advantage so many, in fait, that the jitneys now want to shorten the length of time given for 5 cents. It is said the five-minute ride will get the jitneye into trouble, because they cannot make the full run to the end of their present routes In five min utes and the taxlcab ordinance prohib its the charging of more or less than the rate as set forth on the rate cards in the machine.

If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps . and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and Is very harmful. Just plain mulsifled cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless) is much better thaii the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly Injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance, of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. Tou can get mulsifled cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone In the family for months. Adv. ST. JOHNS FAMILY HAS FOUR GENERATIONS. f &lf s . y ! I L : wwtni . ""t-.- .. ;.y'"iji- fit ,Mltt,, .
