VALLEY MILL COMPLAINS CAR SHQRTAG SUPPORTED BY FRANK CAMPEAU AND EILEEN PERCY PIOXEER OF JH47 PASSES AT CARL'ro.V. Woodfourn Lumber & Logging Com pany Vnabl to Pay Workmen's Compensation Insurance Because of Losses. SALEM, Or., Oct. 13. (Special.) AVith every indication that the car shortage situation is becoming more acute in the Pacific Northwest. Public K?rvice Commissioner Buchtel today telegraphed Chairman Miller of the Commission, who will be In Washing ton soon,' to take the matter up with Ihe Interstate Commerce Commission directly, and ascertain if steps cannot be taken to remedy conditions. Commissioner Buchtel returned from Portland today, and while there in vestigated conditions. He said the car shortage will not attain anything like the proportions of last year, when gen eral complaints were received from all over the Northwest, but from the pres ent outlook It is likely to be serious enough, he says. SurpluM Is 'Wiped Out. The effort which has been made to secure a transfer of cars from the O.-W. R. & N. to the Southern Pacific Is likely to fail for the reason that, apparently, the O.-W. R. & N. has not the caw to transfer. An official of that company told Commissioner Buch tel that not long ago 1000 cars were transferred from the O.-W. R. & N. line to the Southern Pacific, and that what surplus existed on the latter lines a few weeks ago has virtually been wiped out. The Commission today received a complaint from A. R. Jobes, of the Jobes Milling Company, of Portland, as to the shortage of cars on the South ern Pacific. He said the plans of the Government for bettering food supply conditions may be seriously hampered. Commissioner Buchtel expressed the belief that by the time shipments of flour are to be made this Winter the Government will commandeer cars necessary for handling such shipments, and give them right of way over other shipments. The fact that the Govern ment will probably take a hand In handling shipments of this nature will no doubt relieve the tension in the Northwest as far as the flour mills are concerned, he said. Lumber mills and other classes of business are to be taken into consideration in the han dling of the freight traffic, and nu merous complaints have been received from them. Shortage I Expensive. - The Woodburn Lumber &- Logging Company has made complaint to the Industrial Accident Commission, that It has not made its recent payments on workmen's compensation insurance be cause of the heavy losses which have been inflicted on it by failure to re ceive cars, and asserts that a continued car shortage may eventually - mean shutting down its mills. It will be urged upon Chairman Miller that he take every possible step while In Washington to secure active co-operation from the Interstate Com merce Commission in meeting condi tions which have arisen in the West. WOOD EXPERTS WANTED Government Desires Men to Select Timber for Airplanes. BERKELEY. Cal., Oct. 13.

Thirty additional names of men for service on the Federal Court jury panel K ACTIVE WITH A GLASS OF SALTS Must flush your Kidneys occasion ally if you eat meat regularly. Noted authority tells what causes Backache and Bladder weakness. No man or woman who eats meat reg ularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood then you get sick. iVearly all rheuma tism, headaches, liver trouble, nervous- i ness, constipation, dizziness, sleepless ness, bladder disorders come from slug eish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at tended by a sensation of scalding get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kid neys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder disor- - ders. Jad Salts Is inexpensive and can not injure; makes a delightful effer vescent lithia-water drink, which all regular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoiding se rioua kidney complications.

X - r IE Vt I BOOKEXALTSTEUTQN Sixth Grade in Washington Given Pro-German Lore. PARENT MAKES OBJECTION Xida's "Dawn of American History in Europe" Sets Forth Glow ingly Alleged Virtues of Na tion's Present Enemies. RIDGEFIELD. Wash., Oct. 12. (To the Editor.) When I read the article in The Oregonian of September 27 rel ative to the German textbook being used in the Portland, high schools it struck me as queer because I had that morning instructed my little daughter, who is in the sixth grade," to bring home her history that I might look it over. The books are furnished by this dis trict and I had not inquired as to what were being used, but when she began repeating her history lessons at home, telling me "the Teuton or German race is the greatest in the history of the world. They have done more for lib erty, learning and all lines of im provement than any other," I thought, in the light of present conditions, it would be well for me to read her his tory for myself. I found that the sixth grade hereis studying "The Dawn of American His tory in. Europe," by William L. Nida. The author, in chapter one, goes back many hundreds of years and intro duces to the pupil "Our German .Fore fathers," and requests the child to think kindly of these fierce bar barians. From the first page to the last there runs through the text, unobstrusively. it is true, bu,t still there nevertheless, respect bordering on reverence, for all things Teutonic. Teuton mental and physical attainments, when compared with other peoples, bring out sharply the supposed superiority of said. Teu tons. Their bravery Is contrasted to Roman cowardice, and the opinion of these old Germans had of the Romans reads almost like Kaiser "Bill's" opin ion of the people of the United States. In chapter 23, "Columbjiis and the New World," one paragraph" reads: "Was Columbus a Teuton? Colum bus was tall and powerfully built. He had a ruddy face, red hair and blue eyes. We know that most Italians are dark; so it is likely that Columbus de scended from some barbarian tribe that settled in Italy, and that he was, after all, a Teuton and a distant kinsman of ours," On page 53 the author speaks of "our Germans" when telling who were the best soldiers the Romans could hire after the Romans had become too cow ardly and lazy to fight. In the conclusion the author sums up the reasons for success or failure of the Spanish, French and English in settling America. Spain is supposed to have failed be cause, while claiming Teutonic blood, "they had lost the spirit of liberty and all other virtues of the Teutons." Th-e DRINK&DRUG HABITS QUICKLY CURED Thousands of men and women drink to excess who would g-ladly take treatment if they were sure they would -be free from the craving and necessity for drink. There is a way to again become masters of yourselves. If you will Investigate the Neal Drink Habit Treatment which is a safe, sure vege table remedy that removes the crav ing for drink in three days without the use of hypodermic injections you will find hundreds of drinking- men and women from Portland and vicinity have been successfully treated at the insti tute or at their own homes during the past six years. Now, if you are a drinking man, or want to $top the use of drugs, write for free book or call at the NEL INSTITUTE 304 Twelfth Street. Portland, Or.

K - I l C U jt' . 4 IN A story of Wyoming, that country between the Big and the Little Laramie, where the far-reaching plains meet the foothills of the Medicine Bow Ranch. fTtirr-Milifc nni rriM 13 ADMISSION CHILDREN French, although having "much more Teutonic blood than the Spaniards." failed, because "at the time of settling America they had strayed far from the spirit of their Teutonic forefathers." The English, according to the teach ing of this author, had kept the Teu tonic spirit to a very great degree, therefore : "America was -destined for the na tion who knew best how to settle the wilderness, to build It up, and to rule over it: and that nation proved to be the Teutonic Anglo-Saxons." Thus the child is taught a nation or a people succeed or fall In proportion to the purity of its Teutonic blood and Teutonic spirit. A people so unfortu nate as to have none of this Teutonic blood is doomed to begin with. Old German brutality'ia indulgently winked at by the author, but to the reader who' does not-revere all things Teutonic it srfows the 20th century Germans running true to blood, and tradition. Personajly. I've heard and read enough slush in the past about the wonderful Teuton. Seems to me we can find something more worth while to teach our children and not turn our schools into a source of German prop aganda, no matter how cunningly cov ered it may be. Respect for German traditions . and ideals, insidiously In stilled in the minds of our children of the- lower grades, makes the task of boldly teaching admiration and love of all things German in the higher grades easy. The soil has already been prop erly prepared. Jt is time for American parents to get busy and know, personally, what is being taught to their children. ADA C. CLEMENT. General Greene Churelt Speaker.
