When finish reading this copy of The Saturday Eening Post, place a United States 1-cent stamp on this notice, hand same to. any United States postal employe, and it wll be placed in the hands of our soldiers and sailors at the front. No wrapping, no address. A. S. Burleson. Postmaster General." "And that is all there is to it." said Postmaster Huckestein yester day when a man appeared at his window with half a dozen back copies of The Saturday Evening Post to be mailed to the boys in France. Th following standard magazines can be mailed to soldiers, under the same conditions: The Saturday Eening Post, Collier's Weekly. Les lie's Weekly, Popular Mechanics. World s Work.. Harpers. Century. Il lustrated World. Literary Digest and The Countrv Centleman. All other standard magazines not bearing -the postmaster general's no tice will ba mailed to soldiers or sai lors in training camps in the United States. I Postmaster Huckestein says that he is daily sending out magazines to soldiers and sailors bv the hundred, and the army officers are asking that all fathers and mothers, or other relaties of soldiers and sailors "keep the home fires burning" in this man ner, as it Is desirable that all soldiers and sailors be kept, in first class relatives of. soldiers and sailors"keep monish the people at home, that only up to date magazines of recent Issues are desired. The soldiers are espe cially fond of good books of a scien tific nature, as well as fine fiction, either in magazine shape or in book form. Subscriptions by the year may be taken, the weekly copies being mailed through the United States ex peditionary force, by way of New York or Chicago, and the Y. M. C. A. war secretaries will see that they reach their destination. CONSTRUCTION FASTER First Launching Strengthens Belief Concrete Can Be Depended On ALL NEW PICTURE PROGRAM f &!2r, THEATRE Two Fatalities Reported to Commission for Week Two fatalities out of a total of 497 accidents were reported to the state industrial accident commission for the week ending March 14. The men who lost thear lives were George Merchant, a sawmill worker of Sher idan, and J. Burgstadt, an employe fn a shipbuilding yard at Portland. Of the total number of accidents 4 61 were--subject to the precisions of the compensation act. WASHINGTON. March 15. Rein forced concrete ships apparently were about to take a lar?e place in the solution of the shirbuilding dif ficulty which lirs across the path to vi':ory over Germany. Chairman Ilurlev o- the shipping board telegraphed the builders of i- . . - n , - . 1 ... V. I Vi I III? juuv-iuu ruiKiric v 1 niiuu was launched on the Pacific coast yesterday, to report immediately w is a i r frrx. " j e down additional hulls and what time would be required. An early test of the new ship "was requested, to set tle questions as to her strength and behavior n a heavy sea. A report on the launching said that the belief had been strengthened that concrete construction could be depended up on. An important question remain ing ttf be decided before concrete ships will b approved by govern ment officials is what will be the effect of salt rn the concrete and on the Iron reinforcing. Four concrete shins of 3500 tons each have been authorized by the hionfn board as an experiment and designs for them are bein? complet ed. One will be hnilt at Brunswick. Ca., one at San Francisco and the the-s a vards to be selected later, ff the 5000-ton vessel, which was constructed for private owners. nr"ves successful, the smaller size win be abandoned !n the future by th shipping bord and perhaps even a 7500-ton craft constructed. Many advantages have been found by the shipping board In concrete construction, the most important be ng that after the forms are laid down, hulls can be turned out in six tv days or less, as compare, with ix months for wooden ships of the same size. The cost of concrete is onlv 60 per cent of steel and the weight of the hnl Is about the same as of wood. The Pacific coast ship already launched weighs 2600 tons. It will be ready to proceed under its own steam by Jnne 1. Material used" in concrete ships is not used in the other styles of ships. The iron is of different shane from that used in steel Rhips. while the lumber used in the forms ts of small er size than ship timbers and is ob tained as a by-product in the cutting of the latter. , Sand and cement is obtainable anywhere so that trans portation is saved. While approxi mlately 1100 tons oT steel shapes are used in a steel ship of 35 00 tons capacity, a concrete ship of the same size requires only 500 tons. I Twn' rufej The ymW&m 1 jfcrTj Washing .

FIVE GIRLS Light Company Objects to Serving Salem Petitioners HUNDREDS OF FIRES ARE SET Federal Forestry Department Estimates Incendiary Cases in Oregon Of the 7.814 fires which were fought on the national forests in 1917 all but 2,132 set by lightning were caused by human agencies and could have been prevented. There were 9;2 incendiary fires, which oc curred for the most part in Oregon California and Arkansas. Careless campers were responsible for 1,288. Railroads, partly through failure to comply with the law and use spark arresters, set 1.003. T!i? remainder were caused bv various forms of carelessness on the part of settlers and other users of the na tional forests. Effort is being made by the forest service to impress upon the public the necessity of keeping fire out of the woods, especially now that the country needs its man-power so bad ly for other purposes than fightins .inneeessary fires. The campa'gn'o education against carelessness anI Indifference which has been waged forers through fire-warnings, po:; ters. talks and lectures, "movies," and in other wayst it is asserted, wil' therefore be pressed with renewed energy the coming season. FOUR HUNDRED ARE ENROLLED Second Junior Rainbow Reg iment Is Rapidly Approach ing Completion State School Superintendent Churchill yesterday enrolled the fourth hundred names for his second Junior Rainbow vegiment, composed of Oregon school children who sell at least $50 worth of thrift stamps each.

J NEW YORK LIGHT LIFE PLAYING TO CAPACITY COME EARLY LIBERTY PACIFIC LOSES TO YTLLAMEHE Affirmative Debating Team Takes Decision of All ' Three Judges The affirmative team of Willam ette university won the debate from Pacific university last night at Will amette charel by a unanimous de cision fX the judges. The Willam ette negative team debated the Pa cific affirmative team at Forest Grove, but up to a late hour the re sult had not been made known here. The subject debated was "Re solved, That the United States should adopt the essential features of the New Zealand system of arbitration for labor disputes." The Willamette affirmative team was Otto Paulus. Myrtle Mason, and the Pacific team was Carl Peterson and Clyde Davis. The judges were J. A. Churchill, Carl Sox and Hop kins Jenkins. Professor J. T. Mat thews presided. schools of the state. August Huck estein spoke for the Red Cross and Mrs. E. E. Fisher, chairman of uie membership committee of Willam ette chapter, organized the auxiliary. The women of Englewood served refreshments. Red Cross Auxiliary Is Organized at Englewood A Red Cross auxiliary was organ ized Thursday night at the Engle wood school with the election of the following temporary officers: Pres ident, Mary J. GUes; secretary, Mrs. Albert Fnestman; treasurer, J. J; Nunn. For permanent organization a meeting will be held at 'the home of Mrs. Giles next Thursday after noon and all the women of the En glewood vicinity are invited to at tend. At-the meeting Thursday night L. P. Harrington was present and spoke on industrial work in the Bible Student Association Gathers in Its Belongings Members of the International Bible Students' association in Salem received orders from Portland yes terday, presumably from their own organization, to stop the sale of any of the association literature In Sa lem. It was hastily gathered In. The association has been suppressed in several towns of the state because of its unhealthful sentiment relative to the war. and apparently the ac tion taken here has some connection with the suppression. Officials here he.ve not received Instructions to take any action against the associa tion. . ' Axel Peterson Is Sent : to Hospital for Insane DALLAS. Or., March 15. (Spe cial to The Statesman.) -Axel Peter son, a stranger who has been stop ping at the local 'hotels for the past several weeks, was committed to the Kate insane asylum at Salem this week by County Judge Kirkpatrlck. Peterson had been acting queerly for several days and when the hotel man got suspicious of his movements and asked for his board money, the man told him he had no money and seem ed to give little Information as to his relatives, where he came from or any past history. The county author ities were notified and the hearing followed. An attendant , from the hospital had him in his care a few hours after the hearing. him mi ectiDts lei? "MEN! ME.! MEN!" SEE CLASSIFIED AW The "professional" way of doing' dentistry is to let one's patient run bills. It's polite. There isn't any rude commercialism about it. Vulgar money doesn't intrude into the atmos phere of the secret sanctum of the tooth-twister. Foryou know refined people like doctors and lawyers and dentists, shudder at the mere suggestion of grabing for the change. The Painless Parker organization is doing dentistry in a ' business way. There are no "bills collectable-" generally "non-collectable." People who have their dental work done by us get the cost of that work explained to them at the outset, and, when the work begins, the settlement of the bill begins, too. As the work progresses, additional payments are made, and, when the job is finished, the last installment is in the till. A sort of C. 0. D. P. A. Y. E. method of delivering tooth-carpentry. It seems very cold-blooded and mercenery. Perhaps it is. At all events, it saves a lot of hard feelings all around. It puts the relations between dentists and patient on a sound, common-sense basis But there is a greater advantage. The dentists who let their patients run up bills have the task of collecting them, and having let these patients charge the work so politely, they must needs go about collecting politely. There must be no rough work. The result is that the majority of dentists have a desk full of bills they will never collect, and thejr have another isheaf of bills which' they can collect only through a tedious and expensive process; ma3the.fift7 per cent that lt takes mak these collections? You do- if you patronize the dentist who runs his practice in this ityle. What!he can't collect from the other fel low, ne quietly and of course, politely tacks on your bill. Somebody must- pay the piper. You have to be the goat. Make no mistake about that. The reason why Painless Parker can furnish first class dentistry at such astonishingly reason able prices is that he doesn't have to make any allowances for bill-collectors. You are saved that tax. Each patient's case stands alone, and you are not helping to pay the" dental bills of your shirking brother. Unjust method, isn't it? Not traditionally profes sional but mighty much like business.
