LIE SAVING SUIT! IS DESIGNED TO KEEP ONE IN PERIL WARM L. A. Lamar of Portland Is Inventor of Unique Device Made of Heavy Duck, - . , TO HOLD I UP 500 POUNDS MS guard Trom Death by Exposure Za Mala Object Songfct by the Inventor of Co&trlTaae. Before a crowd i of several thousand spectators, who filled every toot of space on Morrison street bridge from which a glimpse of the demonstrators could be had. a test of the life savin's suit invented by I A. Lamar of this city wai given yesterday afternoon beneath that I bridge. Four persons, one a 14-year-old ; girl, paddled aboiit in .the water Tor over 20 minutes, emerging from the river as dry as when they Jumped from the float. The task of! donning; the swit was ac complished in 86 seconds. Two mov ing picture machines clicked merrily as the demonstrators donned their ap parel, and also chronicled some of their queer actions In the water. The test was made from a barge, The' suit ii built of heavy due. waterproofed With a preparation which the inventor declares will last for years. Buoyancy is obtained through a , belt of small aluminum cans sur- fleient to float a combined; weight of COO pounds. Jt fits closely about the legs but loosely, about the shoulders and is drawn about the face with a drawstring attachment. The 'inventor asserts that lie can make the suits for only a trifle more than the cost! of the usual cork life preservers. ! ! The principle upon which: the lnven tor believes that death from exposure would- be next to impossible Is that 'owing to the j waterproof construction what water as did in time seep through the opening 'aibout the face would e warmed by the heat -f the body and except for th discomfort would cause little actual, suffering. ' Sufficient room exists about the shoulders for1 the wearer of one of these suits to feed himself or to drink from a flask carried in the pockets. Lamar, who has triad e lengthly tests in . Columbia slough, when the water was icy cold, asserts that' be was able with, only a little exertion to work up a .perspiration even after he had ben in the water for two hours. "Even though a man' did float about in the ocean for , several days and eventually die; of starvation, has body would float and could be picked up. the. valuables removed and taken to his relatives, and a. decent burial giv en," said Lamar, in discussing his in vention. "Th aluminum tanks with which buoyaniy is obtained are Inde structible. The duCk with which the suits are made wilt last for years and an application of the: same water proof ing makes the! suit as good as new. "I can't helpj but. believe that if gen erally adopted! by ; steamship owners, that some large portion of the im mense loss of life could be done away with. With the present efficiency 'of rescue work due to coast guard sta tions and the Wireless telegraph, I don't see how a man could die Without at least an even.' chance of rescue were he to.be equipped with such a suit." WOULD DEEPEN SLOUGH. Promoters of Coal Bunker Project Make Application, i. That . seagoing vessels . might be taken to a bunker they plan on build ing in North Portland harbor the Pen insula Industrial company, represented by S. S. Brown and Lowther Ferris, yesterday petitioned! the Port 'of Port land commission to keep the channel Into ;that harbor open. The company Is to bring its: coal from Nanaimo and other British Columbia ports. - The action lf the Port of Portland commission will be determined at - a postponed meeting to be heta this afternoon. Tj&e question which con fronts the commission is whether the maintenance of the waterway is prac tical. ;t EAST SIDE! DOCK COMPLETED. ) .. j , i Dedication Will Take Place Tomor ;. row Afternoon.

Had they carried through the scheme at the time they had set they would have stood a chance of securing- $7000, it Is said. ' Last night Postal Inspector Morse swore to complaints against -Carl Mack, held in Detroit as one of the robbers, and Bruce Granville, a barber, who is nw under arrest in Seattle, as the second. Both will be brought to Portland s for trial. Granvill will be given a preliminary hearing in Seattle today, and the government will ask $25,000 biil. His arrest, which occurred an hour after his return from the east, was due ,to a chance remark j of Marion Douville, Mack's' consort sin Detroit that she had met Mack through "a barber named Granville. From that time on the inspectors had very little trouble in unraveling evidence that they say points to their- guilt. REPETITION OF CHARGE A warrant for the arrest of Clyde Jenkins, a bartender at Fourth and Kverett, on the charge of giving liquor to Bessie Peet, an Indian, was issued by the district attorney's office today.

GOVERNMENT TABLED Council Postpones Action on North Portland Document; Pointed- Questions Asked, No vote will be taken in June on the question of returning to the old coun cilmanic form of government for the council this morning, by unanimous vote, indefinitely postponed action on the proposal of the committee, of North Portland residents to submit the Ques tion. This ends the matter so far as the council Is' concerned, and it will refuse to recognize a petition of any size asking for the submission of the question. The commissioners were of the opln ion that the time Is too short to inform the public of the amendments for the June election. The matter was submitted by a com mlttee consisting of George S, Shep herd. W. M. Klllingsworth. C. . U. Mc- Kenna, H. A. Ruble and W. T. Vaughn. Mr. Shepherd outlined the features of the amendments. ' "Was the charter prepared 'by you? Commissioner Daly asked Shepherd. "It was prepared by the committee,' replied Shepherd. v "Who are those interested In ,this thing? Who appointed the committee? What is the object of it?" were some of the questions Daly asked. "We need -not prolong the agony any longer," said Commissioner Brewster. "It Is an insult to the public .to ask that a vote be taken on it in June. I am against submitting measures of this kind which the people do not -petl- I tion for. I move the matter be in definitely postponed. . j "If the question was submitted In j the regular order I might conajder It, but never for the June election, said Commissioner Daly. "The time la too short to Inform the people." Commissioner Dieck seconded Brew. ster's motion and It was unanimously approved hy the council, t It is said .that the attempt to return to the old form of government was made because the city council refused to appropriate $3000 to dredge the Columbia slough that It might be used for a sewer outlet. The appointment of the committee was - the result of i meetings held in the North Portland library to protest against the action ox the oity commission in refusing to appropriate the money.

Smith of Gresbam, a retired steamship engineer, who was stricken with paralysis at First and Stark streets last night while carrying a valise filled with valuable deeds, died fat St. Vincent's hospital this after noon at 12:33 o'clock.

Sunshine and fresh air she considers more valuable as complexion preservers than . nos trums and-cosmetics. , The chief objection to cosmetics is that at best thay only temporarily cover up defects. There - are , certain true aids to Nature, which may be applied with directly opposite effect-- Ordi nary mercollzed wax, for Instance, act ually removes a bad or oldish com plexion by gradually. - almost imperceptibly,- peeling off the worn out scarf skin. Just one ounce, procurable at any drugstore, will soon unveil an en tirely new and natural ' complexion. with an exquisite girlish color.
