DAILY CAPITAL' JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1911. DISTRICT AT Injunction and Abatement Law Will Forever Remove Plague Spot Prom Capital of Nation. 'BED LIGHT" SECTION IS NOTORIOUS MANY YEARS Veiled Charges That Powerful Wash ington Sources Have Prevented Cleaning Up Of District, BY BURTON K. STANDISH. (Written for the United Press.) Washington Feb . 11. The National Capital's vice district is on the move. The new Kenyon 'injunction and abate' Blent" law will forover remove this sewer spot in the city. Because Wash ington is the first large eautorn city to adopt this "Iowa idea" the opera' tion of the new statute will be watched with interest all over the country. Too Kenyon measure in brief pro vides that any citizen may obtain an injunction against use of any property in the district for immoral purposes on showing that the property is thus used. Iowa cities adopted Buch a law half a dozen years ago and have succoedod in ridding their environs of the sogregutcd vice district. Washington's "red light" section haB Iteeu notorious for years. Up until ten years ago the cntiro vice section was quartered in half a dozen streets di teOy off Pennsylvania Avenue and bounded by Twelfth, D, E. and Fifteen tb streets. Police recognized the boon daries of this quarter, kopt track of its denizens, and preserved order thero. Indeed, it had long boon the boast of the Washington police department that Washington's tenderloin was "the saf est place in the city,'' and that boast was not baseless. It was a rare occasion for any of the unfortunates to bo takon into court, and arrests of habitues of the houses or of casual visitors were far from frequent. Recognized and Restricted, The Washington tenderloin has boon MMiii officially recognized and rigidly restricted on the theory that it meant that the residential sections would be kept absolutely "clean" and thoy bave been up to the present time, with mighty few exceptions. It was ln proved by the pollco that this semi official recognition and segre gation meant that Washington's streets by day or night wero absolutely free of street walkers. The women of the segregated districts woro known and 1, w . registered as such and they knew that "street walking" would mean exile from Washington. Persons who' have openly or secretly opposed the Kenyon measure have prophesied that stamping out of the tenderloin will mean that Washington's residential sections will suffer as a re sult;, that if some of the women that are chased out of the tenderloin will not spread to other sections, others will come into the city and manage to live as they uo in New York, Phila delphia and other cities where such un fortunates conduct small "establish ments" iu god neighborhoods. A vice crusade in 1fi04 forced a more restricted quarter for the vice section, and ft second " City of the Living Dead" sprang into being in the southeast sec tion of the city a scant three blocks from the capitol building. The older vice area was within a stone's throw of the post office build ing and the treasury department and withiu Bight of the white house, Wash ington monument, and the department of agriculture. Tho new red light dis trict did not supplant tho old, the police crusade suddenly dying, for some ob scure reason. Tight of Tea Years. Tho natsiu'C of tho Kenyon measure through the Senate and House marked the end of ten years' fight by civic reformers. Their pleas that tho na t.inn's canital known as one of the "cleanest" cities in tho world should permit organized vico to foster and grow in a part of tho city set aside for it had hithorto gone unheeuca. One other thing which it is expected that tho Kenyon measure will accom plish is to mako public the exact own ers of tho property in the "rod light" rltHfrict Veiled charges that powerful local sources have prnvoutcd its "cleaning up" because certain individuals owneu houses routed out to prostitutes, have horetoforo been heard. The Kenyon law is oxnoeted to forco appearance in court of tho actual owners ot tno prom ! airninst which an injunction is mil,t as well as of the tenants. That the law will result In a general clean- I. declared by proponents who point t that the measure not omy provmiM for a normanont injunction agiunm n nf such uroiierty for immoral pur poses, but also permits tho condemna tion ami salo of all fixtures and furni ture in such housos.

Thousands of people suffer from bald ness and falling hair who, having tried nearly every advertised hair-tonic and hair-grower without results, have re signed themselves to baldness and in atendant discomfort. Yet their case is not hopeless; the following simple home prescription has made hair grow after years of baldness ,and is also unequalled for restoring gray hair to its original color, stopping hair from falling out and destroying the dandruff germ. It will not make the hair greasy, and can be put up by any druggist: Bay rum. 0 ounces; Lavona de C'omposso, 2 ounces and Menthol Crystals, one-balf drachm. If you wish it perfumed, add 1 drachm of your favorite perfume. This prep aration is highly recommended by all physicians and specialists, and is abso lutely harmless, as it contains none of the poisonous wood nlchohol so fre fluently found in hair tonics.

This is what you "hould do to shed 3 bad complexion: Spread evenly over the face, covering every inch of skin, a thin layer of ordinary mcrcolized wax. Let this stay on over night, washing it off next morning. Repeat daily until your complexion is as clear, soft and beautiful as a young girl's. This result is inevitable, no matter how soiled or withered tho complexion, Tho wax lit erally absorbs the filmy surfaco skin, exposing the lovely young skin boncnth. The process is entirely harmless, bo lit tle of the old skin coming off at a time. Mercolized wax is obtainable at any drugstore; one ounce usually suffices. It's a veritable wonderworker for the rough, chapped, reddened, blotchy, pim pled, freckled or bbIIow skin. Pure powdered saxolite is excellont for a wrinkled skin. An ounce of it dissolved iu a half pint witch hazel makes a refreshing wash lotion.

R. N. MORRIS, Corner Morris Avenue nd Fairground Road. Phone Mala 1407, . Elimnation of the courses in civil engineering at both the Oregon Agri cultural College and the state univer sity as contemplated in the orders is sued by the Board of Higher Curricula on December 20 last and further sup plemented by another order last Sat urday is expected to terminate the long agitation about combining the two in stitutions. The action of the board, .it is stated, was taken in the interest of economy, as the dropping of this one course will save tho sate many thous ands of dollars. Provision is made whereby all students who matriculated in tho civil engineering department be foro the first order was issued will be allowed to complete their work and will bo awarded thoir bachelor degree, but no new students will bo accepted in these courses hereafter. The Oregon Agricultural College will, however, continue to give instruction in civil engineering so far as it may be required in other departments, such as forestry, agricultural engineering. highway, irrigation and mechanical en gineering, but such studies will not lead to a degree in civil engineering. The action of the board eliminates all engineering work from the preserib od courses at the university and leaves mining, mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering courses at the col- lego. To Transfer Departments. Saturday's action further consum mated the plan of the board initiated on December 24 to transfer the depart ments of architecture, music, economies, education and the graduato school to the stato univorsity when tho scope of the work in these courses was defined and tho extent to which allied studies might still be followed 'at tho Agricultural Collogo. C. E. Spence, of the State Grange, believes that tho action will remove for the present all agitation in favor of the consolidation of the two institu tions. "As tho arrnngemcnt now Btands," said Mr. Spence, "the engineering and other applied science courses aro con fined to the collogo and tho theoretical or puro science to the university. This was tho arrangement indorsed by the Orange at its last meeting. In our opinion thero would bo no definite set tlement of the mutter until tho sepa rate spheres of the two schools were clearly defined. It was this I had in mind when I told the Board of Higher Curricula that 1 believed, if the order of December 20, removing civil engi neering to the university wero to stand, thero would be an intiutivo movement for the consolidation of the two schools undertaken. "The effect of this order, while it does away with the formal degree to which a civil engineering course lends, leaves to the college a strong engineer ing department, in many of whose courses the principal features of civil ngineering are involved; and it makes a distinct line of demnrkation between the activities of the college and the uni versity and gets away from the dupli- iilion of courses which was the iniiiii cause of objections from the Orange. I think thai the li range will indorse the oiiler of the Hoard of Higher Curricula." EUminatos Duplication. 'The effect of this order," said Jo seph K. Hedges, of Oregon City, "is to eliminate positively duplication iu en gineering instructions ill tho two insti tutions by taking away from the Stnte I'niversity all engineering work. The engineering courses were the only cour ses in which there was any duplication which was positively unnecessary or ex pensive to the state. As the order stands, the Agricultural College cna still teach civil engineering so far as it may be required in the courses lead ing to degrees iu mechanical, chemical, electrical, Irrigation or other depart ments of engineering. The only actual limitation that is placed on the Agri cultural College by the order Is that it makes it net possible for a degree to be granted in civil engineering."

He learns to roll his own fresh, fragrant cigarettes from ripe, mellow "Bull" Durham tobacco. "Rolling his own" becomes a second nature with him. He takes the. keenest pleasure in fashioning his own cigarettes with his own hands, to his own liking, and is proud of his skill.
