The Rev. Willlnm McCnrty, now 06
yenrs old, wna culled xipon two weeks
ago to preach at the funeral of a no
torious sinner, a relative of Mrs. Levy
Laird. The Row Mr. MrCnrty preach
ed frankly on the sins of the deceased
man and, instead of nssuxinR the
mourners that ho was going to Hea
ven, boldly stated that lie would go
to a much hotter place. He exhorted
the younger people to live riphteously
leat they go there too. The stuff that
the Rev. Mr. MrCnrty wns putting on
her dead relative grew too hot for
Mrs. Laird. She renehrd out and
snatched nt the preacher. When he
ducked, she pursued him, and ilimlly
was successful in tearing most of his
clothes, smashing hit hat. and
scratching him up so viciously that
he had to see a physician. He had
Mrs. Laird arrested. She was fined
and sentenced to a term In the work
house for disturbing public worship.

Highway Retrenchment
'T'HE coming legislature, it mny be conceded as certain, will
make a revision of motor vehicle license schedules down
ward. It will not be a nominal nor even a moderate cut, but
a cut that will go deeply. If the gasoline tax is increased, there
will be less of future highway department revenues than of
present ones. The public demand is not to be denied and we
may as well resign ourselves to some lean years in highway
affairs.
That being true, the highway commission is wise in starting
now to cut its pattern according to its cloth. It cannot hope
to have funds for major construction projects. The unmistak
able demand of the hour is for stringent economy and against
free spending. The highway commission must keep its budget
in balance and the income under that budget is going down.
FULFILLMENT under this program is going to carry with it
disappointments to communities and districts desiring new
roads. Communities and districts whose projects have been
definitely mapped and for which the commission has made
commitments, are likely not only to feel disappointment but
anger or resentment also. Wilson river, Wolf creek and Siski
you projects are in this category. All these the highway com
mission has just postponed. There will be repercussions.
SISKIYOU represents an important improvement in the Pa
nifin iiiorhwav. hut the nresent nroiect is but a link which, to
come into usefulness, would have to be supplemented by further
extensive and expensive work for which no funds are in sight.
Wolf creek represents Portland's
the northern beach resorts. It can well wait. Wilson river is
primarily a local project for the city of Tillamook, but the
people of that city have long sought it and campaigned for it
skillfully and persistently. No organization in behalf of any
other road project in Oregon has fought so valiantly as have the
Tillamook group for the Wilson
to tuke the postponement kindly nor to remain quiet about it.
The fact that the road to Tillamook via Sheridan is in beUer
condition now than ever before and can easily be driven in less
than three hours will not be likely to make much difference.
THE highway commissioners know how far they were com
mittor! tn Kiskivnn. Wolf creek and Wilson river beginnings.
Apparently they felt that the commission was not obligated to
any of the projects beyond recall in the face of new necessities.
If so the commission is justified fully in postponing work on all
them. It will not be justified in beginning on any new
projects until the revision downward in highway revenues that
now looms shall be completed and the situation crystallizes so
that we may know how much highway money, if any, we are
to have after sinking fund and maintenance are provided for.
We are in an era of necessary, not optional retrenchment.
The highways will have to take their share of it. Oregonian.

SEIIOLD ANTISEPTIC
that way, I believe boric acid Is the
best agent we have for the purpose,
Indeed, boric acid is the essential, If
nob the only real antiseptic ingredi
ent of many a fancy preparation
which is highly extolled for this pur
pose. The strength of the solution for
spraying the nasal passages or for
gargling or mouth washing should be
a rounded or heaping teaspoonful of
boric acid to the pint of boiled water.
The same solution, by the way, Is
satisfactory as an eye wash or for
eye drops.
Always have the solution lukewarm,
or about the warmth of the body,
especially when using it in the nose,
or in the eye. Be sure the water has
boiled at least five minutes. Tap
water Is all right, but distilled water
or rain water or snow water is better.
If swallowed in large quantity boric
acid is somewhat poisonous, but not
in the amount one uses In a gargle
or spray or mouthwash. No harm If
some of lt is accidentally swallowed.
Another of my notions is that boric
acid Is particularly efficacious against
the Pneumococcus.

Answer I advise you not to read
such stuff.
Feather Bed.
Somewhere I have read that sleep
ing on a feather bed, that Is, a tick
stuffed with feathers on top of the
regular mattress, is bad for health,
as the feathers are non-conductors
of electricity. Is there any truth In
this? C. R. K.
Answer I suppose dry feathers are
non-conductors of electricity, but
that would never make me hesitate
to dive Into a nice feather bed on
a cold night.
You Just Imagine It's Clear.
Does applying menthol ointment
inside the nose to keep it clear, once
or twice a day, do any real harm?
G. O. F.

Just makes lt feel that way. Can't
say It does any serious harm, but

TR1-STATE SALES
TAX HAN AGREED
SALEM, Dec. 29 (AP) Representa
tives of Idaho and Washington In at
tendance at the trl-state tax confer
ence held here yesterday, left for
their homes in Boise and Olympla
last night with the Intention of hav
ing Introduced in their legislatures
similar sales tax measures, as will be
Introduced at the special session In
Oregon next week.
While no definite conclusion or uni
form tax proposal was reached at the
conference, it was announced after
the all-day session that sales tax bills,
alike In the major essentials, would
be given to the legislatures of the
three states for consideration. Views
on various- revenue-raising measures,
featuring sales taxes and Income taxes,
were exchanged at the conference.
Since Oregon must act first because
of the special session starting Janu
ary 8 for the purpose of enacting some
measure to relieve the real property
tax, Its plan was given the most con
sideration. What the legislature does
will be another matter, lt was pointed
out, but further exchange of views
and legislative proposals will follow
by correspondence, it was announced.
The Oregon plan would call for a
2 per cent tax on retail sales and
expenditure for labor for a period of
26 months. No exemptions are pro
vided in the proposal, nor would there
be an Increase In the tax on selective
goods. This proposal will be one of
several, it was declared, which will
be presented to the special session of
the Oregon legislature.
