Eugene. July 4. (Spl) The
entire male population of Eu
gene Is unshaven at present, and
will remain that way until July
26, but It Is not because Eugen
cans are uncivilized The no-
thavlng decree Is part of the
preparation for Eugene's famed
Oregon Trail Pageant, July z
25 and 26.
The pageant, presented trlen-
nially, commemorates settling
of the Oregon country and the
old west by the doughty pio
neers of the 1800's, and the
beards are a necessary part of
the re-creating process. A black'
ahirted band of "Whlskalantes"
sees that no man shaves for six
weeks prior to the outstanding
celebration, with swift punish'
ment dealt to violators of the
ordinance.
Arrival of Doris Smith, direc
tor of the pageant since Its In
ception In 1926, Initiated activ
ity some two weeks ago In all
departments connected with the
pageant
A huge stage where the three
nightly shows will be presented
Is being constructed at the Lane
county fairgrounds under direc
tion of Horace Robinson, co
director of the pageant. The
cast of 2300 dancers and singers
Is being organized under direc
tion of Mildred LeCompte
Moore and John Stark Evans,
respectively.
Script for the panoramic epic
has been completed by W. F.
G. Thacher, professor of jour
nalism at the University of Ore
gon, who has authorized the
pageant show since it began.
Ruler of this mythical west
ern three-day kingdom will be
Queen Susannah V, who will be
selected from six eligible con
testants already chosen. The
' sextet represents the various
civic and fraternal organizations
In Lane county, and from it will
be chosen a beautiful and ma
jestic queen to represent the
spirit of the old west that reign
ed supreme In the 1800 s.

Spokane, July 4. (JP) L. L.
Smith of Gold Hill, Ore., for
mer chief chemist of the Har
rison Engineering company lab
oratories in Denver, testified in
federal court here Thursday he
never did know whether assays
he made showed values of prec
ious metals indicated In the as
say reports.
George Harrison, owner of
the engineering company and
more recently chemist In De
troit, Is on trial on an Indict
ment charging him with using
the malls to defraud western
mining men of $70,000 through
false claims regarding his secret
formula for precipitating min
eral values from ore.
Smith, who said he was
bound by oath not to reveal the
technical details of the Harrison
formula, testified he received
ore samples from the office and
conducted the assays by using
the secret solution, agitating It
and then weighing the precipi
tate. He said he never knew where
the samples were obtained and
turned figures on the precipi
tates over to Mrs. G. H. Dol
mage, Harrison's secretary, who
figured the weight per ton.

ment of senior officers of the
fighting services and the for
eign office to the ministry of
information to expedite censor
ship was announced today and
promptly accepted by Minister
of Information Alfred uuii
Coooer.
Duff Cooper, who is rumored
to have offered to resign over
criticism of his ministry, said
in the house of commons that
"the arrangement now arrived
at If one which I believe can
be made to work satisfactorily."
He said that "on the home
front," news releases had been
little criticized but he added it
had been "suggested that we
should do more to bring home
to the people of the United
States the seriousness of the
situation."
"There Is always danger of
exaggerating and there are two
schools of thought fighting
against us in the United States.
"At the head of one la Lind
bergh who says it's no good
helping Britain because she's
defeated already while others
say that It's unnecessary to cor
voy ships because the battle of
the Atlantic is practically won
and that British losses are very
light.
"The truth Is the right answer,
namely, that the position Is still
very serious but that it's slowly
Improving. The more readily
American assistance is given to
us the shorter will be the dura
tion of the war."
