ENGLISH BEAUTY TELLS
COMPLEXION SECRETS
("Elise" in American Home.)
Through a fortunate meeting with an
English lady, noted for her dazzling
complexion, I recently learned the full
meaning of that, old adage, "Beauty
is but skin deep." She taught me how
to remove my muddy, old skin, reveal
ing the young find beautiful skin under
nenth. The process is so simple, harm
less and inexpensive, I'm sure you'll
be glad to know about it. Just get an
ounce of ordinary mercolized wax at
any drugstore and apply nightly, like
cold cream, for a week or so. Every
morning in wanking off the wax, tiny
particles of worn-out cuticule como off,
too. The action is so gentle and grad
ual, there's no discomfort. It's a won
derful treatment, as it not only peels
off the faded or discolored skin, but
all of its defects, as chaps, roughness,
freckles, pimples, blotches, blackheads.
I am indebted to the same lady for a
remarkable wrinklo-removin-g formula.
One ounce powdered saxolite is dis
solved in a half pint witch hazel, t'sod
as a face bath, this is so effective that
just one application causes the finer
lines to disappear, and soon even the
deeper ones go.
CHURCHILL ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER CHILDREN'S CONGBESS
Superintendent of Public Instruction
Churchill announced yesterday that he
wim urging a boys' and girls' indus
trial congress as one of the features of
the Panama-Pacific exposition. Mr.

'Such a congress," said Mr,
Churchill, "would furnish each mem
ber an opportunity for an exchange of
Ideas and a wider acquaintance with the
industrial work.'

CLABBY WINS SECOND
BOUT WITH PETROSKEY
Sailor Keeps Up Even Fight Until
Twelfth Bound, Although Clabby
Is Favorite,
DISTRESSED WHEN FIGHT
BEACHES TWENTIETH BOUND
Both Men Fight Viciously and Fre
quently Forget All Thought of Sci
ence and Defense.
OMITED PRESS LEASED WIRE.
Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 13. Jimm;'
Clabby, Indiana middleweight, defeated
Sailor Ed. Petroskey yesterday after
noon in 20 rounds of fighting at Ver
non arena. It was Clabby 's second vic
tory over the ex-bluejacket, and he went
into the ring a big favorite, but bis
chances were no more than even by the
time the 12th round was reached. He
could not stop the Bailor, and stand off
and box as he desired, and Petroskey,
landing an occasional smash or swing,
badly damaged Clabby 's month and
eyes.
Clabby regained the lead after the
12th, and seemed to have the sailor a
trifle distressed in the 20th.
Both men fought viciously, and fre
quently lost adl thought of science or
defense to clinch snd whang away at
each other. Clabby at the beginning re
moved his front teeth, to Bave a golden
dental bridge from damage, and went
into battle with his lower lip close up
under his nose.
Petroskey bore a few of the scarB of
battle out of the ring, but the decision
went against him purely on points
scored by his cleverer opponent.
Small Crowd Drawn. v
Even tho lure of a perfect California
winter day failed to draw a fair crowd
Tho higher priced scats were well fillod
but the gallery birds' attendance was
slim. Only the shady side of the bleach
crs was filled.
A hot Bun blistered tho canvas in the
arena and coats were, doffed generally
throughout the house.
Stove Dalton and Ben Hart, light
weights, were tho first preliminary boys
to appear. Hart was a joke and went
out early in tho second round from
right to tho jaw.
Jimmy Lastro then took a four round
decision from Fighting Lee. They are
bantams.
Harry Atwood and Babe Sherman
featherweights, then tried to cntortuin
the crowd.
Betting Quickly Lengthens,
(Hubby's admirers offered to ba
their judgment to such an extent that
the' betting at ringsido quickly length
enod to 10 to 4. A fan Francisco dolO'
gntion snapped up practically all that
was offered at that figure.
It was announced before the fight
that Promoter McCarey would give
Clabby, if ho won, a belt emblematic of
the world's middleweight championship,
condition being attached that the
holder must defend it against all corn
ers at 148 pounds ringside. If Petroskey
wins, said McCarey, the belt will be
withheld, said McCarey holding that the
sailor is not a real middleweight, and
thorcforo cannot hold tho title.

"Tho big league maiinales don't

CRITICISES THE CRITICS,
Editor Capital Journal: In the
"Daily Oregon Journal" of January
23, there appeared an editorial, in
which it was stated that the estimated
cost of present Oregon roads was twenty-four
thousand dollars per mile.
I wonder where such editor secured
hig information, and if such statistical
estimates can be secured by the general
public f Any person who would make
such an estimate is a, fit subject for
Attno liinntiA oavlllm. nf "ftnart"
either a lunatic asylum or "onery
membership in an Ananias club; and,
any editor, who would considor such an
absurd estimate worthy of favorable
editorial mention, belongs to the Bame
class. ,
Oregon seems to be afflicted with a
bunch of disgruntled, road-knockers,
miscalled road-boosters, who apparently
aro Ignoramuses, individually endowed
with some mental vacuum that develops
periodical brain storm fits, during the
rainy season, makiug them mentally
Incapable of grasping any roal concep
tion of past road conditions, circum
stances, expenditures, efforts and re
sults; or they are unprincipled mon,
endeavoring to carry out their selfish
aims and policies through docoptlon,
misrepresentation and hypocritical ills
honorablonoss. For illustration, lot us analyze the
estimate tat the roads of Oregon cost
twenyt-four thousand dollars per mile.
According to estimates socured from
tho office of State Highway Engineer
Bowlby, there are about thirty-six
thousand miles of roads in Oregon,
Taking the sum of twenty-four thousand
dollars and multiplying it by thirty-six
thousand, tho result Is the Btnpendooui
sum of eight hundred and sixty-four
million dollars. The principal of such
a sum would provide a fund of twenty
one million six hundred thousand dol
lars, annually for forty yoarB; or it
would provido a fund of two million
five hundred thousand dollars annually
which is thij approximate amount ex
pended upon Oregon roads during the
year 1010, for ovor three hundred and
forty five years. I wonder if the edi
tor of the "Oregon Journal" Intonded
to convoy any such Idens or did ho
presume that his readers were Buch
numbskulls, that they would accopt
such Aiiaunis dope, through dull, ig
norant, blind-faith t
In tho "Sunday Oregonian" of Jan
uary 25, thoro appeared a spociul report
of a road meeting held nt Independence,
to consider bonds In Polk county for
road improvement, and in such rcprt
Thomas McCusker is quoted as follows:
"It is estimated, that tho roads of
Oregon cost twenty-four thousand dol-
With Oar New
Equipment
Marlie
lars per mile. Eighteen million dollars
has been spent npon Oregon roads, and
of this amount seventeen million dol
lars has been wasted."
A more absurd misstatement of act
ual past affairs and results could hard
ly be made. For proof let us analyze
these figures. Taking eighteen million
dollars as the total estimated expendi
ture, and dividing it by twenty-four
thousand, the estimated cost per mile,
we secure the sum of seven hundred
and fifty, to represent the total road
mileage of the state. Did Mr, McCusker

ence pok co such numb.

skulls, that they could not analyze
such figures, or were mentally too in
dolent to do sot
Without donying that Oregon needs
better roads, and refraining from pub
licly taking sidos In regard to issuing
road bonds, I sny most emphatically,
that our state has more pressing need,
of a better type of citizenship, that
does not stoop to deception, misrepre
sentation snd hypocritical dishonorable-
nesB, In ordor to promote, develop and
carry to completion, private or public
aims and policies.
Paved roads are not worth the price
of pursuing such a course of unprin
cipled manhood; and men of such char
acter or typo, should be publicly re
buked, evon though it should prove
necessary to travel over mud roads for
generations to come, in order to ef
fectively administer such a rebuke.
All good citizens should stand ever
roady to denounce unprincipled men,
who Intentionally distrot public facts,
conditions, expenditures and results, in
an effort to docoive and mislead the
general public, regardloss of their politi
cal faith, or thoir support or opposition
to any public policy; for it is only
through 'higher character development
that our civilization can advance, a no
wheuover tho time comes that commer
cialized thought, continuously predomin
ates in the minds of the masses, over
higher character thought, then our civ
ilization will bo doomed to follow that
of Home and Orceco. The value of
roads Is not comparable to that of char
acter. GKOKGE C. M1TTY.
