SPEED TRAP VIEW
E
Gold Hill's fuctlnnul and auto traffic
troubles aro aKaln given wide publi
cation through a InliK Interview
published In the Portland Orei?onlnn
of Wednesday with .Martin Howers,
which appeurs prominently on the
editorial pane as rollows:
"The speed trap at Hold Hill, Ore.,
which has Klven that community nn
unenviable reputation nntom; motor
ists, is a sore spot with the mer
chants. They realize that tourists,
warned that the speed trap is main
tained, do not stop in the town to
spend a nickel if it cau be avoided,
and the money left in towns along
the highways by motor tourists hns
become a valuable source of revenue.
'The merchants,' says .M. I). Howers,
drtiKKist, who is registered at the Im
perial, 'are opposed to the spef'd trap.
We have been flKhtlng local condi
tions, but so fur without much sue
cess. Thero are many men In dole!
Hill who ore not In bu-lness, and they
have wives, and they vote, and each
election when wo try to clean out the
administration responsible for our
plight, we Ret licked by a narrow
mnrgin of IB votes or so. The people i
who clean us up in the elections are'
not particularly Interested In the wel
fare of the town. Its growth or pros
perity, and these are matters which,
naturally, concern every bhslnesB man.
However, the situation will work it-r
self out it has to. for such things
cannot go on without end.' Guardians
of the motoring public havo picketed
the town. They had banners painted ,
announcing that a speed cop was on !
duty; there wore men with red flags
during the day and red lanterns at (
night to stop and warn the tourists.
Some California toiulsls felt so grate
ful that they tipped tho guardians and
one lud pocketed $!l in ono duy for
his services." ,

WASHINGTON, June 11. (By the
Associated Press.) President Cool
Idge has suggested to the shipping
board that it delegate completely to
'negotiating sales of ships and lines,
reserving to itself final approval or
rejection of the contracts. ,
i While no action has been taken by
'the board. Indications are that the
suggestion will be approved when
Chairman O'Connor returns next week
from a trip to Florida.
The board has been sharply divided
in considering ninny sales, the most
recent case being on June 5, the day
the president wrote his letter, when
it rejected proposals for the sn'e of,
freight ships and lines In the north'
Atlantic. In that case one plan was
recommended by the fleet coriioratlon
and another by the sh'ii sales com
mittee of the board. The final vote
was against both proposals.
In his letter President Coolldge
said he was greatly Impressed with
the "great difficulties" In the negotia
tion of sales contracts.
"I have the strong feeling," he
added, "that such complex negotia
tions cannot be competently carried
out by the Independent discussions of
buyers with the several members of
the shilling board.
"Furthermore, there is nn unwilling
ncps on- tho part of some of our
shipping men to enter such an In
volved scene of negotiations.
"In order that we should make a
vigorous attempt to carry out the pur
pose of the merchant marine net
thnt is the disposal of tho merchant
marine Into private hands on enult
able terms, it seems to me vital that
these negotiations should lie placed In
single hnnds reserving to the shipping
board tho final voice in the accept
ance or rejection of each specific con
tract. -'
"I would like to suggest to the
linurd that all negotiations of every
chnracter for the disposal of shlos or
linos should Vest In tho hands of
Admlrul Palmer (president of the
fleet corporation), that the members
of tho board should refuse to see or
discuss these questions with any In
dividual during the course of such
negotiations; that Admiral Palmer
should bo authorized to sign such con
tracts subject to the upproval of the
hoard. The hoard will then be in a
iMisltion to exercise Its proper func
tion In the acceptance or repection of
tho contracts."

University of Sciences how to slay the
youth und had obtained the necessary
germs from Charles C. Fit i man for u

WASHINGTON, June 11. (A. P.)
Roy A. ilaynes today completed
his fourth year as prohibition com
missioner and administrator of the
Harrison narcotic act and he ob
served the anniversary with an opti
mistic statement of prospects for
ultimate and complete defeat of the
rum and drug bootlegger.
, . It bus been a hard fight, said
the commissioner, who took office
1 X months after national prohibition
1 became effective, and while many
'obstacles to successful enforcement
have been overcome, be found others
still bobbing up to present new haz
ards. "The big bootleg operator," Mr.
Haynes declared, is making bis last
stand as sources of Illicit liquor are
being closed to him." Ileal whiskey,
wine, gin und brandy, he said, are
"practically unobtainable now for
beverage use." I
Progress in enforcement during tho'
past four years, he described as
"really remarkable," considering the
obstacles which have had to be
overcome. I
"This is a national law," he added J
"nnd In various localities thero is
strong opposition therefore In such
localities wnere local assistance has
uoi oeen given, of course, conditions
aro not what they should be, but
everywhere they are so Improved
over four years ugo that there Is ul
moflt no comparison."
Against tho Inroads of the drug
peddler whose customers today are
estimated at between 1 10.000 nndj
1 1". 0,0110 nddlcts, tho government is
making progress, said the commis
sioner, due to the "strict account
ability," now required of Importers,
manufacturers, producers and whole
sale dealers.
IN SCHOOL FIGHT
MONK FOUND GUILTY
. OF
LIXCOLN. Neb., June 11. (By the
Associated Press ) If all the school
textbooks In use In Nebraska which
describe the processes of fermentation,
the production of alcohol and the
manufacture of Intoxicating liquors
are to be discarded, nearly every cur
rent work on physiology, chemistry
and physics will have to so, according
to opinions expressed by several per
sons connected with the state depart
ment of education.
State Superintendent Matzen Is in
receipt of a letter from Elmer E.
Thomas of Omaha, federal prohibition
director for Nebraska, which encloses
a complaint from A. 1- Shamblin,
superintendent of schools for Ulaine
county, relative to illustrations of a
distilling apparatus and information
as to the method by which malt and
spiritous liquors are niade, contained
in a physiology being, used there.
The prohibition director Bold he did
not know whether this was an actual
violation of the state prohibition law
which forbids advertising any recipe
or formula for the manufacture of
liquor, but he thought It contrary to I
the spirit of the law nnd believed
anything of the kind should be discouraged.
Although the Blaine county official
was said to be horrified that any
school book should portray how In
toxicants are made, the laws of i
Nebraska made It compulsory to teach
In all schools supported by public
money or under state control, the ef
fects o( alcoholic drinks and other
stimulants and narcotics upon the
human system. Textbooks treatsles
on how alcohol Is distilled are thought
to be a part of this Instruction.

The city council of Jacksonville at
its meeting this week took action
which it is hoped will start a local,
county, slate and nation-wide move
ment In the interest. Of nutting more
gold In circulation.
I This action was the passage of a
resolution urging the merchants and
people of the Jacksonville community
to use gold as much as possible in all
business transactions, rather than
paper currency, the object being to
stimulate the circulation of gold and
thus help out the mines of the Pacific
coast section, from which it is safd
much of the present output of gold
comes.
The Jacksonville council will send
a copy of this resolution to other city
councils of Oregon and ask them to
adopt similar action in favor of gold
circulation.

The first application of Howard's

It creates beauty almost like magic.
The most wonderful thing about it
is the fact that whilst it turns the
dullest, most lifeless, complexion to
radiant beauty ' and makes red or
rough hands or arms snowy white,
yet there Is not the slightest sign of
Its use after application. It actually
vanishes from sight and the mosti
heated atmosphere will not produce
the least shininess or greasiness of '
the skin. I
No matter whether you are troubj
led with a poor complexion, wrinkles,
puffiness around the eyes, freckles,
crows feet or lines around the mouth,
ugly finger nails, or Just a simple
roughness of tho face, hands or arms
caused by wind or sun, you will find '
that any or all of theso troubles will
quickly disappear with the use of
Howard's Buttermilk Cream.
To prove this to your complete
satisfaction, get a smnll quantity to

counter with the understanding that
they will freely return tho purchase
