In a peculiar accident early yester day morning at Broadway and Oak street two automobiles were dragged 150 feet by a street car, one at each end of a tow line. The machines were only slightly damaged following the unusual experience. With a 20-foot cable utilized as a tow line an automobile belonging to C. Keegan, 4 North Twentieth street, was towing a machine owned by D. E. Tesser of the Railway Exchange building. After crossing the car tracks at Broadway and Oak street the engine of the leading machine stalled, leaving one on each side of the track. Not noticing the cable a street car driven by R. R. Buyers, motorman, struck the line and carried the auto mobile nearly a block before the mo torman became aware of what had happened and slackened speed. Men Admit Victory for All De mands Not Expected; Operators Say Conditions 'Destructive. TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 1. Peace en veloped the coal mining towns In Pierce county today, the first day of the nation-wide strike. At Fairfax, Carbonado, Wilkeson, Burnett and Morristown the men quit work, but there was no trouble or suggestion of it. Here and there striking miners gathered idly to watch Incoming au tomobile stages or willingly volunteer general information to the visitor, but for the most part the streets were deserted. Approximately 1000 men are affect ed in these towns, and at Carbonado, where the largest mine is operated, and the town owned by. the mining company, it was stated that all em ployes had paid their rent for a month in Bdvanefl and that all had their own ' coal supply to last for two months. Admissions from some of the strik ers that they did not expect to get all they asked for, but thought they "ought to have something," was bal anced by declarations of operators that it would mean the end of the Washington coal industry to meet the conditions of the six-hour day "from bank to bank." five days a week and 60 per cent increase In wages. CAMPAIGN GETS RESULTS SMALL- DONATIONS COMING TO .ROOSEVELT FUND. IN Aie We Soon to Become a Race of Baldheaded Men? Ilk Rural Chairmen Are Yet to Report on Their Proceeds and Quota Will Be Subscribed. A strong determination to see that Oregon's quota is fully subscribed in the campaign for a memorial to Theo dore Roosevelt was expressed yester day by Dr. Henry Waldo Coe, chair man of the state executive committee of the Roosevelt Memorial associa tion. The interest aroused throughout the state by meetings which were held in numerous communities in celebra tion of Roosevelt's birthday, October 27, has been reflected by the volume of contributions which continues to flow to the county treasurers, and has been reassuring, the committee states. PROF. JOHN H. AUSTIN Bacteriologist, Hair and Scalp Specialist of Chicago, Talks Most Interestingly About the Hair. He says that baldness is increasing rapidly among men. and points out some of the reasons. Professor Austin eays dandruff causes 70 per cent of the cases of premature falling out of the hair. Prior to Investigations and discov eries of the past few years dandruff was considered simply a collection of scales of the outer cell tissues of the scalp combined with an oily matter. From these careful investigations it has been found that dandruff is a par asitic disease of the scalp called "se borrhoea eczema." The parasites that produce this disease grow down Into the cylinder-shaped depressions at the roots of the hairs, destroying the hair cells. Seborrhoea Is "Catching." By careful experiments seborrhoea was found to be contagious. An oint ment was made of vaseline and the scales from a man's head -and then rubbed into the backs of guinea pigs. The pigs contracted the disease and becamebald. Likewise the disease has been contracted by man and wife, either wife or husband being free from it before marriage. Ypu should have the roots of your hair examined with a powerful micro scope. ind out Just what is the trou ble with your hair. The cure is then a comparatively easy matter.

Church of Jeaun Christ of Latter-day Salntai Salt Lake City, Utah. Notes For free copies ot other articles of this series, send request to the author. The Divine decree against the -wickedness of mankind has pone forth, and who shall escape? Judgment has been pronounced asrainet men and nations who refuse to heed the warninn call to repentance. Angels oearing: tne golden vials, filled with the wrath of God, are abroad In the earth (see Rev. chaps. 15 and 18): for these days are the days of wickedness and venge ance, which the prophets have fore told. (Pearl of Great Frice, p. 1 n word of God cannot return unto Htm void, but must and shall accomplish His holy purpose. (See Isa. 55:11). Vital Questions touching every soul are these: Has the day of possible es cape already passed? Is there no way of averting the impending piagu and destruction? One of the attributes of God is His unchangeableness. for with Him there 'is no variableness, neither shadow of turnlner." (James 1 :1 "). Kor I am the ijird. I rkiise mot." (Mai. 3:6). ia not a man. that he should liei neith er the son of man, that Be snouia rr nenti hath he aald. and shall he not do itt or hath he apoliea. and shall he not make it noodf (.Num. zj:i. -tus paths are straight, and his eonraa la one eternal round." (Book of Mor mon, Alma 37:12). And In accordance with His immuta bility of purpose. His unchangeable justice. His ever-present mercy. God both decrees and revokes: and every pronouncement, whether of proffered salvation or threatened condemnation, la conditioned upon the state of right eousness or transgression. He decreed the destruction of Nine veh, whose abominations were not longer to be tolerated. A prophet was sent, who cried aloud through the streets of the great and wicked city: "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown." The people heard and were awakened to a realization of their guilt. From the king on his throne to the beggar in the streets, all turned from their evil ways. They fasted and prayed, and withal, re formed. Jonah, having delivered his message, posted himself in a position from which he expected to witness the destruction of the city. But no catas trophe befell. He was ancry, for seem ingly his word had failed. Then the Lord reasoned with him, not without rebuke, and showed that the city, once condemned, was spared because of the repentance and reformation of her people. Such is the Lord's unchange ableness: for he is a God of justice who hears the prayers of the sinner and requites repentanace with mercy. Amidst the awe-inspiring glories of Sinai. Jehovah decreed that the sins of the fathers should be visited upon the children (Exo. 20:5). Heredity demonstrates to this day the actuality of Ui condition specified. But Israel inorantly misinterpreted and wilful ly misapplied that word of the Lord. They gave to It a meaning wholly foreign to the IMvlne intent, and as sumed to find therein excuse, if not Justification, for their sins. Indeed, they hailed it as a very comfortable doctrine; for in their evil eyes it ap peared to explain away their own de fects as inherited weaknesses, for which they were not answerable and from which they could not escape. They crystallized It into a proverb thus: "The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge." But they were Sternly rebuked: Aa I live, aalth the Lord (od, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb tn Israel. Behold, all souls are mine; as the aoal of the father, so also the aoul of the Mon ia mines the aoul that slnneta, it shall die." And further: "The son shall not hear the Iniquity of the father, neither shall the father hear the Iniquity of the son." (Read Ezek. chap IS). Did the Lord thus change His pur pose and nullify the avowal in the Decalog? Verily, no! Far above the natural operation of heredity, which at most is tendency not ' compulsion, stands eternal and unchanging justice, which assures to every soul his deserts. "Wherefore. I. the Lord, command and revoke, as It seemeth me stood." (Doctrine & Covenants 56:4). "I com mand and a man obeys not, I revoke find they receive not the blesnlns;. Then they say in their hearts, this ia not the work of the lrd. for h is promises are not fulfilled. But wo unto such, for their reward Inrketta beneath, and not from above." (5S:32, 33). Yes. there is a was by which the judgments of these days may be avert ed: and that way is the way of the Lord, whereby men through faith, re pentance and baptism may receive the Holy Ghost, who shall lead them in righteousness. God will not destroy an upright soul, nor a righteous na tion. As in the meridian dispensa tion, so now and for the last time, tho Divine command Is promulgated: The time ia fulfilled, and the kingdom of God Is at hand: Repent ye and believe the gospel." (Mark 1:15).- -Hot heboid. If the tnhabltanta of the earth shall repent of their wick edness and abominations, they shall not be destroyed, salth the Lord of Hosts." (Book of Mormon. 2 Nephi 28:17).
