relating to sickness and to the rights
of the School Board to release a teacher
was left unchanged.
Hereafter in Western Oregon the sec

as Arbor day. For Eastern Oregon the
Several Changes Apply to Portland
Alone Directors Affected by Re
call, Tenure of Office and
r Extension of Suffrage.
SALEM Or. Feb. 24. (Special.)
Much additional school legislation was
enacted by the Legislature which Just
closed.
Among all of the laws passed at the
session Superintendent of Public In
struction Churchill considers the law
which provides for at least eight
months of school in a school year is
the most constructive.
"This law together with fhe high
school tuition fund law which was en
acted In 1915, insures to every child
in Oregon a high school education,"
declared Mr. Churchill in comment
ing upon the school laws to
day. "The high school tuition fund
law will bring to the high echools more
than 1000 children who are unable to
go further than the eighth grade, but
there are still many children in Oregon
who live in districts where only six
months of grade school are held each
year. This meant that it would re
quire 10 H years for children to com
plete the grade school, while in the
districts having eight and nine months
of school the children would complete
the course in eight years. On account
of the advanced age in completing the
eighth grade, the majority of these
children would not enter high school.
Greater Efficiency Predicted.
"The eight-months' minimum term
means that more than 12,000 children
will be able to attend school two
months longer each year. More than
750 teachers in the rural schools will
have an eight-months' term instead of
the six-months' term. This will mean
that the teachers in the rural schools
will be able to afford better training
for their work, as they will he assured
of 'better positions."
Many other bills of importance, how
aver, were enacted into laws.
Certain changes were made in the
school tenure law applicable to the
city of Portland only. It classifies the
teachers -as follows: First, super
visors; second, high school principals;
third, grade school principals: fourth,
assistant supervisors; fifth, heads of
departments In high schools; sixth,
high school instructors; seventh, grade
school teachers: eighth, special teach
ers. The bill further provides that a
teacher may, "before being transferred
to a branch of the service which posi
tion is of a lower rank or before be
ing dismissed, demand a hearing. This
shall be before a commission. The
members of the commission are to be
three disinterested persons appointed
on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in January of each year by the
presiding Judge of the Circuit Court.
Teachers' Coarse Increased.
The law requiring that no person
shall be entitled to a certificate by ex
amination before completing a term of
at least six weeks of professional train
ing was amended so that after Septem
ber 1, 1919, all such persons must have
completed a term of not less than 12
weeks of professional training. This
course may be given in any chartered
Institution, or in any standard high
school of the state. In the high schools
the course now runs through the 12th
year. When this law goes into effect
it will run through the 11th and 12th
years. -
A. law was provided for establishing
military training In the high schools of
the state, subject to such direction, su
pervision and inspection as the Gov
ernor of the state may order and di
rect. Credit - shall be given toward
graduation. The amount of such credit
shall be determined by the State Board
of Education.
The School Board of Portland was
Authorized to establish kindergartens.
The number was limited to three and a
limit placed upon the amount of money
to be expended tor eucn purpose..
Training Provision Made.
District school boards were author
laed to use their publio echools for
training school purposes. At present,
this will apply particularly to the city
of Independence. The School Board of
that district will contract with the Ore
gon State Normal School to use the
public schools of Independence as a
training school for tne normal.
The law defining the qualifications
of a legal school voter was amended
so that the property qualifications im
posed by this law shall not apply in the
election of school directors and school
clerks. Hereafter, any citizen of this
state who is 21 years of age and who
has resided in the school district for
SO days immediately preceding the
school election, shall be entitled to vote
for school directors or school clerks.
In districts of the first class, the di
rectors shall hereafter hold office for
three years instead of five years. In
1917 two directors shall be elected, in
1918 two directors shall be elected, and
in 1919 one director shall be elected.
The same order shall follow in the
succeeding years.
Parental Schools Issne.
Two new laws were enacted relative
to parental schools. One provides that
any School Board In the state may es
tablish parental schools for neglected
or delinquent children. The other-applies
only to the city of Portland and
requires that the question must be
submitted to the vote of the people.
The law providing that no high
school shall be entitled to receive tu
ition from the county high school fund,
unless the pupil holds an eighth grade
diploma was amended so that the
equivalent of an eighth grade diploma
may be accepted. This law will be of
particular benefit in cities having the
junior high schools. Pupils will not be
required to take the regular examina
tion at the end of each year.
The fourth Friday in October shall
hereafter be . known as Frances E.
Wlllard day, and a portion of the after
noon of such day 'shall be spent in
the public schools of the state in
instruction and exercises relative to the
life of Frances E. Willard.
Recall Provision Made.
Provision was made for the recall of
school directors. There must first be
filed with the clerk of the school dis
trict the petition of the legal voters
of such district equal in number to IS
per cent of the number of children of
school age in such district, isot more
than two directors shall be recalled
at one time, and the recall election may
tie held only at the time of the annual
school meeting.
In all school elections in districts of
the first class the polls shall remain
open until 7 P. M. Instead of 6 P. M,

Congestion at Mills and Cancellation
of Many Orders Are Pointed Out
to Show Need for Action.
SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 24. In an ef
fort to gain relief from the car short
age, which la declared, to be threaten
ing the lumber and shingle industry,
the West Coast Lumbermen's Asso
ciation, at Its meeting here today, au
thorized the trustees to request railroad
companies to Increase the supply of
cars at Western loading points, and If
this request fails to bring results the
Public Service Commissions of Oregon
and Washington and the Federal au
thorities will be urged to remedy the
situation.
Speakers at .the meeting said that
the car shortage not only had congested
mill storage with unshipped orders,
but had caused the cancellation of a
great deal of business by Eastern
buyers. Unshipped lumber, it was de
clared, was accumulating to Such an
extent at the mills that it was block
ing further operations and adding ma
terially to carrying charges.
The meeting authorized the sending
of telegrams to the Congressional del
egations of Oregon and Washington,
urging the enactment at this session of
Congress of the Webb bllL which pro

LABOR BILL IS KILLED
Only One Measure Dealing W3th
Workmen's Compensation Is Left
In Senate, and It May Pass, -but
Douse Action Cncertain.
BOISE. Idaho, Feb. 24. (Special.)
After one of the most bitter flKhts the
State Senate has seen since the Legis
lature opened, the House workmen's
compensation bill Introduced by Repre
sentatives Bates, Lohrbas and Orice
was killed tonight by being: definitely
postponed. The vote to kill stood 20 to
14. This measure was the so-called
labor bill and called for compulsory
workmen's compensation. Its defeat
leaves but one bill of the same nature
pending in the Legislature the Rock
well elective workmen's compensation
act. This bill is assured of passage as
it has the backing- of the Republicans
and a few Democratic Senators who re
fused to stand behind the Bates bill.
When it is sent to the House of Rep
resentatives a deadlock over its pas
sage may result.
The House of Representatives passed
the most important bill pending' in the
Legislature today when it approved the
11,000,000 bond issue act providing- for
the building of good roads in the state.
This act will make available for road
construction In Idaho during the next
two years a grand' total of 2,750,000,
of which Jl.000.000 will be raised by
the state, $1,250,000 by the counties.
$385,000 from the Federal Post road act
and $135,000 from the Forest Service. It
means the most promising era of good
road building In the history of Idaho.
The state bond issue is apportioned as
follows: Panhandle, $15,000; Bonner
and Boundary counties, $50,000: North
Pacific Highway. $75,000; North and
South Highway, $375,000; Idaho-Montana
Highway, $120,000; Idaho-Paclf lo
Highway, $160,000; Tellowstone High
way, $65,000; Idaho-Utah Highway,
$20,000.
The state created the tenth judlotal
district to be formed out of Nez Perce,
Idaho, and Lewis counties, by passing
House bill No. 18. by Giles, and at the
same time passed House bill No. 12, by
"Walsh, giving to the seventh Judicial
district an additional Judge. It is under
stood the Governor will approve both
bills.
The Clearwater dam and boom bill
by Senator Grant, which is said to give
relief to, small timber holders, was
passed by the House. - It passed the
Senate some time ago.

NORTH TAKXVTA. 'Wash.. Feb. 24.
(Special.) Samuel E. Craig, who died
here February 21, was a pioneer dairy
man of the state of Oregon, having
owned and operated the first creamery
in the state, so far as known. , This
he- established at Farmington in 1885

Prof. Hertzog Praises
This Perfect Laxative
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
an Ideal Remedy for
Constipation.
In every family there is more or less
occasion for a laxative remedy. It Is to
meet this need that Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin Is prepared, and that this
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin fulfills its purpose is
proven by its place in thousands of
American homes.
Prof. F. J. C. Hertzog. the well-known
linguist. 2341 North Orianna St., Phila
delphia, Pa., wrote to Dr. Caldwell that
he. has used Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin in his household with excellent re
sults and that he and his family con
sider It indeed a friend in need, and
always keep a bottle of it on hand.
Constipation is the direct cause of
much serious illness and is a condition
that should never be neglected. Harsh
cathartics and violent purgatives should
never be employed to relieve constipa
tion, because the very violence of their
action shocks the entire system. A mild
laxative, such as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, is far preferable, being mild
and gentle in its action, without grip
ing or other pain or discomfort; its
freedom from an opiate or narcotic
drugs makes it an ideal remedy for
children.

Hot Water for
Sick Headaches
Telia why everyone should drink
hot water with phosphate
In It before breakfast.
Headache of any kind is caused by
auto-intoxication which means self
polsontncr. Liver and bowel poisons
called toxins, sucked into the blood,
through the lymph ducts, excite the
heart, which pumps the blood so fast
that it congests in the smaller arteries'
and veins of the head, producing vio
lent, throbbing pain and distress, called
headache. You become nervous, de
spondent, sick, feverish and miserable,
your meals sour and almost nauseate
you. Then you resort to acetanllide.
ffspirln or the bromides which tempo-
rarily relieve but do not rid the blood
of these irritating toxins.
A glass of hot water with a teaspoon
ful of limestone phosphate in It. drank
before breakfast for a while, will not
only wash these poisons from your sys
tem and cure you ot headache, but will
cleanse, purify and freshen the entire
alimentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate. It is In- -expensive,
harmless as sugar, and al-
most tasteless, except for a sourish
twinge, which is not unpleasant.
If you aren't feeling your best, if
tongue is coated or you wake up with
bad taste, foul breath or have colds,
indigestion, biliousness, constipation or
sour, acid stomach, begin the phos
phated hot water cure to rid your sys
tem of toxins and poisons.
Results are quick and it is claimed
that those who continue to flush out
the stomach, liver and bowels every
morning never have any headache of
, know a miserable moment. adv,
