Salem A i tor removing the names of 51 Oregon soldiers and sauo which he found erroneously includ ed in the government's official list of local draft deserters, Ceori.e A. White, adjulant-gcroral of tho suite, has telegraphed tho federal author ities at Washington for sanction to proceed with a state-wfile roundup of established draft dodgers. If, after a reasonable delay for checking purposes, the government takes no action, Colonel White indi cated that he would favor action by the various states in rounding up the thousands of slackers and turning them over to the nearest military posts as dosoorters. County sheriffs, acting in conjunc tion with ex-service men's orpraniza-! j tions and patriotic bodies, could mskei short work of locating those still iv. j the eonvt'y, he sr.ggostcd. I Opposition to publication of the j net- l:nil iv.w! lwmr, Uiiroii . : ;i I T , men who were in service during the war and who erroneously were re ported by draft boards, was tele graphed by the adjutant-general 'o the national commander of the Amer ican Legion who has demanded the immediate release of the wikko list to the pv. s? of the country. Colonel White --ailed Commander GalbnvthN attention to the wholesale errors found in Oregon in the governtnonn's list, and asked his co-ppera'ion ir expediting corrections and in with holding the names until the list s corm-t ed. 'Once a man has been her-U-;-J publicly as a draft dodger it wil: be difficult, if not impossble for ,'. n to explain," Sir. White said. "Men who did not report to the draft board because of having enlitpd and rone to the front never should be put in that position. "At the same time this need not prevent or halt the roundup of draft dodgers the country over. Lists of draft deserters in each county can be reported to the local authorities, with requests for their arrest, as rap idly as the lists are cleared of ex service men. . "In all but 12 counties of Oreson the lists of Oregon draft deserters I could be turned over to the auth orities now for action. These lists have been revised in every county excepting If, where, county clerks have failed to give proper co-operation in checking the lists. Other means of covering these counties will be adopted." There are two lists of draft desert ers at Washington, Colonel White ox plained. One contains 175,000 names of wilful draft deserters. These are men who failed or refused to rosponn. It was from this list, as applying to Oregon, that the 51 ex-service men were removed. The other list is made up of 1S1.000 names of men charged as draft dodgers for technical rea sons, and whose records the govern ment has stated, can be cleared. These men are not listed for prosecu tion, as are the liS.imu. "Military courts are charged with the trial of all men apprehended," said Colonel White. "The procedure is to turn the deserters over to the nearest military post. It is a deplor- ame met unit praciujuiy iiuuui'k na? been done by the government since the war ended to round up these of- j fenders. The whole problem should have been dealt with long ago, as it is difficult to see any other obstacle to a roundup than a set disinclination to act." ' xmk hundred and sixty-three mn't now remain on the Oregon slacker list, after deducting tho l names of soldiers and sailors. Of these Mult-rc-mah ynurty contributed Sltl, lor nearly half. Clatsop county stands second on the li.-.t with 5 t. But three j counties returned a clean slate i Wheeler, Lincoln and Benton not a sntgle draft deserter appearing in any ; of these counties. Of the 51 names removed by Col onel White from the official list, 17 were overseas soldiers, 3 were kil led in the war and their names ap pear on the state's honor roll. 15 served in the navy and the others served in the army in the United States.

Faulty Chimneys Cause Fire. A summary of the various causes of Are shows that those attributable to chimneys annually amount to from 10 to 20 per cent of the total number, while 1n winter the percentage has reached an hlf,'h as 50. This is l(,TiIf Icant when it is reullzed that most of these fires result from carelessness and could be avoided by proper attention. In cities and towns with nroner fire protection many fires are arrested without serious loss. It is evident that In rural districts where there are no organized fire-fighting agencies, and where a fire usually results in a total loss, builders should j;lve more atten tion to making the construction of all new chimneys as nearly fireproof as possible.

Painless Parker The Famous Dentist i ,EOPLE livlnfl a hundred miles or more away come to my offices to have their teeth fixed up. I make it a rule that those from a distance shall be waited upon immediately and their work be completed first, so they can go Lack home as soon as possible. Years ago I discovered how to extract and lix teeth with out hurting, and was so successful that people called me "Painless" Parker. iMy practice has grown until I now have (fe) 81 VSYSTEM twenty-eight offices, and all my associ ates in these offices have been taught how to practice painless dentistry as well as I can do it myself. We have fixed up the teeth of over a million people, and call our way of nracticine "the E. R. Parker System." If your teeth are bothering you, and you went them put in good shape without hurt ing and wjthout pay ing a fancy price, come to our nearest office, which you will find located at Future Belongs to Small City. It would be rash to conclude from the census figures that the problem of a belter distribution of population Is unsolvable. The fact that the small cities show the greatest gains is sig nificant. These obviously permit freer living conditions than Die largo cities and at the same time nre free from the isolation of the village or the widely scattered homesteads. The small city in these days prides itself upon Its "metropolitan" aspect. It Is conspicouously up-to-date and pro vides comfortable living. The tenden cy of Industrial enterprises to seek lo cations at a distance from the centers of population ha had much tn iln with the upbuilding of cities of this type. j Antiquity of Peat. j The use of IH source of heat goes back beyond the historical r,(.r( In the ancient history of the earlv tribes In northern flermanv. p!ny, (he Ifornan naturalist, gives us possibly "ie ursi indication of the use of peat He reports that , the Teutons o the border of the north sea dried and burned mud, what we now would call peat.
