SATURDAY, MARCH
SIFT WELCOME
IS CHALLENGE
OF ALDERMAN
Alderman W. H. Dancy, who Is
chairman of the lire department
committee of the Salem city conn
cil. not only welcomes and urges an
Investigation ol his department, but
offers his assistance in making the
probe.
Dancy has Just returned from a
Six weeks trip, and the move to In
Vestigate the department was made
lit the city council while he was
away, Aldermen Watson Townsend.
H. H. Vandevort and David O'Hara
being named as the investigators.
t'pon his return, Dancy said Friday,
he voluntarily called up Vandevort
and offered his services. He said
lie would be glad to turn all of the
department records over to the
committee for examination.
As Is now generally known, the
Investigation grew out of the fact
that a check lor $46.'.5 was mailed
bv the city to the Seagravcs com
pany, manufacturers of lire appa
ratus. In payment lor servicing one
of the city' pumpers. The service
statement received from the com
pany, on which the $46.25 was
shown, also carried the notation,
'Policy replacement. No charge to
the city.
It afterwards developed tliat this
was to inform the city officials that
the service was free and no pay
ment expected, but Dancy admits
that he did not understand this at
the time the statement was received
and that the notation might not
necessarily -have applied to the fig
ures. The company, however,
without any protest from the city,
returned the check.
"No one has lost a cent and no
one has made a cent out of the
trivial affair," Dancy said. He
adds that Alderman O'Hara's at
tempt to hold up the payment was
not because of the notation on the
statement, but because O'Hara
thought the charge excessive.
Dancy says he, assuming that a
charge was to be made, did not
consider It excessive in view of
charges that are ordinarily made
lor motor vehicle repairs.
After the Investigation was ord
ered Alderman E. S. Purvine asked
City Recorder Poulsen for the
statement, so the investigating
commute was unable to get hold of
It. He kept It until the council
last Monday night ordered him to
return It. He did so and it was
then mailed by Pousen to Alderman
Townsend who now has It.
The lire department committee
Is now wrestling with a larRC
number c bias ror a new pumper
that were opened at the Monday
night meeting. Dancy said the
committee had not yet decided what
Its recommendation will be to the
council as to acceptance of a bid.
since it is not yet definitely known
whether the council will favor a
150 gallon or a 1000 gallon pumper.
Dancy Is inclined to favor the
smaller capacity, having found
them in general use in the large
cities of the east.
Dancy expects, at the adjourned
meeting Monday night,, to take a
.stand in favor of a definite offer
to the Oregon-Washington Water
Service company lor tne saiem wa
ter plant. He believes the company
will accept the Si.100.000 offer
which the utilities committee has
recommended, notwithstanding1 the
fact that E. C. Elliott, president of
the company, has stated that not
less than $1,150,000 would be ac
cepted. A definite offer, which, If
accepted, would go to the people
for approval or rejection. Dancy
believes is tlie proper solution of
the water difficulty.
CANNIBALS FOUND
WHITE MAN SALTY

In America who the girls consider

ment about this.
Kakoal. one of the last remain

much cared for white men because
thev were "too salty."

But according to him, while the

Similar to Today's
Frankfort-on-the-Main, UP
The chemical - pharmaceutical In

analysed brown and white face
paints found In the vanity box of
the old Roman settlement ot Nlda,

The analysis showed that the In
gredients of the cosmetics were al
most exactly the 6ame as that of
similar cosmetics of today, the only
difference being that the Roman
material contained some particles
of metal which have since been
found to be harmful to the skin.

FAIRS DECREASE
IN POPULARITY
L Madison, Wis. (IP) County fairs
belong to the horse and buggy era,
in the opinion of Archie Putnam
president of the Wisconsin Associa
tion of Fairs.
Fairs must show progress, with re
gional fairs replacing the county
affairs, Putnam indicated.
"In the present day it is nothing
for a patron to travel 100 miles to
a fair," Putnam pointed out.
Wisconsin has 71 counties and 76
fairs. Nine of these exhibitions are
outstanding, advantageously locat
ed, and could serve the entire state.
he explained.
These nine fairs have shown an
increase in attendance over a period
of years, while the smaller fairs
have suffered decreases. The out'
standing nine had approximately
40 per cent of the total patronage
of all fairs In the state, but they
received only 20 per cent of the fl
nancial aid supplied by the state.
The state of Wisconsin gave one
of these small fairs last year, S3 SO
for every paid admission, while one
of the larger fairs received nine
cents per person on a comparison
of its total admissions and its state
aid.

where a stop was scheduled. The
large Boeing ship was equipped
with two radio sets, one bringing to
the Dlkt department of commerce
information and the other keeping
him In direct communication witn
the P. A. T. Interests. Sullivan had
only one criticism to make ot the
municipal airport and that was the
absence of a permanent marker for
tlie center ot the fieid. He had dif
ficulty in determining the location
of the field and where to land, he
told Lee U. Eyerly. superintendent,
who recommends a four-foot con
crete walk circle, to be kept painted
white, for the convenience and safe

Have Sky Limit As
Divorce Made Easier
By EARL H. LEIF
Carson City, Nev. (UP) With the signing 0f a "wide
open'' gambling bill and a six-weeks divorce law by Governor
Fred B. Balzar, the Nevada state legislature Friday ncared
wtiipiciiuii ut a session mac proD-
ably will go down in American law
making history as one of -the most
amazing In two decades
The cowpunchers, miners, ranch
ers, divorce lawyers, businessmen
and a scattering of professional
men who comprise tlie legislature
established a new record for liber
ality that, in many respects, never
has been equalled by any other
state legislature.
Of the hundreds of measures pro
posed, not one bill was Introduced,
much less passed, that In any man
ner provided restrictions on the per
sonal liberties while scores of meas
ures were enacted that gave the
people ot Nevada greater freedom of
conduct.
The lawmakers did their share
towards maintaining Nevada's un
official nickname, "the last fron
tier state of the Union."
Outstanding among the liberalis
ing measures were the gambling
and divorce bills, made laws Wed
nesday by Governor Balzar. Al
though gambling has been a felony
in Nevada since 1910, the "unwrit
ten code" of the state has been to
permit gambling In all forms but
to keen out "fly-by-nlght" oper
ators.
But gambllnlg was. nevertheless.

We
the
and
an uncertain Investment In the
past due to the possibility of
"grudge closing" or tlie election of
new officials who concluded It their
duty to close all gambling In ac
cordance with the law.
But the new gambling bill fixed
all that and the lid Is now off, the
sky is the limit, and Investors can
feel safe to place their money In
high class gambling casinos. There
may be keen rivalry between Reno
and Las Vegas for the title, "Monte
Carlo of America."
The six-weeks divorce bill has In
spired a new wrinkle a 40-day tour
of the state In automobile caravans,
with divorces awaiting the tourists
in Reno at the end of their wander
ings. The senate passed and the assem
bly was expected to favor the meas
ure removing tlie speed limit from
open highways In the state. A dozen
other measures of minor nature
liberalizing the statutes also were
enacted. A prohibition bill, spon
sored by the Nevada W. C. T. U. re
ceived no consideration whatever.
No legislator could be found to In
troduce the measure.

DNEMPLOYED SEEK
REFUGE ON FARMS
Unemployment has established tlie
farm as a refuge.
For the first time In 10 years, tlie
number ot persons living on farms
has shown an Increase. A federal
report reaching the state house
shows that In all parts of the coun
try the farms have gained In the
numbers of persons living on them.
This situation Is believed remark,
able when the present plight of the
farmer Is considered and when the
climate conditions ot 1830 are re-.'
viewed. The indication would be
that as bad as conditions were on
the farm, they looked more lavor
able to the unemployed In the cities
than did the future In their present
surroundings. Whereas the farmer
used to leave for the cities to make
his fortune, those In the cities are
moving to farms, hopeful ol a more
satisfactory occupation.
