IT'S THE GNATS THAT WORRY US There is hardly an auto race reported these clays that a death or two, or at least a serious accident is not record ed. The great crowds that gather to see these speed ex hibitions expect just these accidents and, the inference is fair, are pleased with the "thrill." If this is the result of some centuries of civilization since the old Roman days, wherein have we advanced over those who witnessed the gladiators strive for the mastery, and held their hands nnf. thnmhs down? Is it any less cruel or in any degree less wicked to hail the victor who leaves his rival dead in the ditch beside the track and to applaud his daring and courage that achieved victory, than it was to crown the successful gladiator who with the sword overcame his rival? In the latter case the victor left the fate of the conquered one with the onlookers and spared his foe it they so desired. In the speed contest the victim has not even this chance, but is butchered to make an American holiday. The hollow mockery of our sentimentalities and the shallow pretense of our morals makes us pass laws for bidding risking a dollar on the outcome of a horse race but at the same time we allow purses to be hung up to tempt men to risk, and lose their lives in a contest of machine speed. We have censors who will not allow a moving picture -ghown delineating a murder, but at the same time we put up our simoleons to see a speed contest which we have every reason to believe will result in death, and a death that borders closely on murder for which the community is responsible as accessory before the fact. We pass laws compelling stores to close on Sundays and fine the proprietors if they open their doors to sell needed food; but we permit the speed maniacs to race fcrY purses on that day and the gate keepers to gather in the shekels for the show. Is it a crime to sell a loaf of bread on Sunday and a lawful thing to sell tickets to a contest where men gamble with death and lose? Is a race be tween autos any more moral than a race belween horses? Is risking one's life on a race any more moral or less criminal than risking one's money? We raise our hands in horror at the Mexican matador who artistically butch ers a bull in the arena, and this while ourselves attending a speed contest where human lives are snuffed out as candles in the wind. We forbid prize fighting, where at thp most n hlnok eve and bloodv nose are the extent of the injuries; but why prolong the list of what Artemus Ward calls our damphoolishness, just take a few days off and continue the comparisons to the end. You will be forced then to the conclusion that as a people we swallow a camel, but gag at a gnat. Chile objects to an All-American treaty and advances some good reasons against it, and some that are utterly foolish. The main contention she advances that has any force, is, that if any of the governments desired to change their form after the agreement was reached they would not be permitted to do so by the signatory powers. She also calls attention to the fact that the United States recognized Carranza but now has troops in Mexico, that we benevolently assimilated Haiti to the extent of setting up a government there which we are supporting with our armies. The real reason of Chile's objection however is the fact that some thirty years ago she wrested from Peru the territories of Tacna and Arios, which are the principal source of the nitrate supply of the world, and which are also the source of Chile's wealth. She is afraid if she joins the movement these rich territories will be restored to Peru. That is what makes her so solicitious about the possible danger "to other countries" from the Pan-American agreement. Her ox would be gored. Louis W. Hill is evidently peeved at Oregon. In his trip up the valley recently he said the rumors about his building a line to the Santiam was without foundation. He is reported to have said that "there are enough rail roads in the Willamette valley now and we have trouble enough as it is without building any more roads south of here." He also said "the Cascades were too steep along the Santiam for a railroad and that his company would do no more toward colonizing Oregon until the people show a disposition to assist." Just what he meant by this he probably knows, but no one else does. One would think Oregon had been doing something to the Hills that made the head of the family sore. He should voice his troubles instead of pouting about them and tell us what is troub ling him. By the way what if anything have the Hills done for Oregon except exploit it? The allies are said to have purchased $:5,600,OOO worth of tinned milk in the northwest recently taking all the product of some fact ories. Oregon is a great dairy coun try naturally, and it is a pity there are not more dairy farms. With green grass the greater Dart of the vear and an abundance of ensilage easily prepared, there is every reason why there should be a dozen dairy ranchers Jl 1 1 ml . Ik. n wnere now mere is our, one. mat Jp.5,uuu,UU lor milk is about the first money received in Oregon on account of the war, for the tremendous transportation charges ab- orbed practically all the additional values of wheat and other cereals due to the war, and left the farmer but the average price. While the allies on the Belgian and French front are apparently making small gains daily, the Russians are advancing steadily and rapidly on all fronts where they are operating. Yesterday dispatches showed they had broken through Von Hindenberg's lines near Riga, and that the Austrians were forced to retreat still further and were being pursued into the Carpathian mountains. In Mesopotamia it was the same story. They were going ahead and the Turks giving up their towns to them. If the advances in Turkey are kept up it will not be long be fore the bear is within reaching distance of the Bosphorus. THE TATTLER ft James Whitcotnb Riley is dead, "(iooit bye, ,liin, take keer of yerself." Whether T. ti. Bligh caught any fish while he was gone or not. it is a safe bet that he brought home an idea or two. There are some spots in this town which certainly need n shave badlv. Seen during a ten-minute stroll on State street the other day: A P2-h. p. auto from Buffalo, X. V., 3 autos from California, 2 from Washington and one from lila ho. It. wasn't a very good day for visitors either. Did you ever notice that the average person is bored by figures pertaining to anything but dollars and cents? A small farmer was overheard to toll another man on State street Saturday that his little prune orchard was going to net him $20110 this year. Try that on your piano. Newport Reduced Fares FOR The report just made of the result of egg circles in augurated by the Oregon Agricultural college shows that the poulterer gets an average of about five cents a dozen more for the eggs he sells than under the old plan of sell ing in the open market. If this is correct the plan has proved itself and will grow. Anything that helps the farmer helps the whole community and five cents a dozen on eggs means about a 25 per cent raise on the price of his egg crop. A hot wave swept over the states west of the Missouri and some east of it yesterday. Chicago was literally in the swim, it; being estimated that half a million persons spent Sunday on. the lake or in it, and it-was the same yesterday so far as the heat was concerned. Fresno, California, held the record for heat, the mercury going to 108. There were more than 150 deaths due either directly or indirectly to the heat, among these being 64 from drowning. , England seems to be astonished that Americans should object to her opening their mail. She asserts that when any little thing of this kind was called to her attention she forwarded the mail as soon as possible thereafter. She also asserts that we should let her do what she pleases with our mails because she forwarded a lot of copper to Sweden that might be useful to the Germans. As an art ful dodger Johnny Bull is the limit. ; The dispatches lately have had nothing to say about what course Rumania is liable to take, from which it is fair to presume she is lying low and waiting to see how successful the Russians are. She has not yet forgotten how the Russians were driven back when their first drive was made, and she wants to know she is choosing the win ning side before she joins it. Jt seems that the unheralded nrrivnl of u train carrying three railway presi dents in n powerful stimulant to the imagination. Xow and then we find a cheerful individual who considers life to be amply worth the living if for no other reason than that he is not sensitive to the Into of fleas. I'p to noon yesterday the sale of tickets for "The Birth of a Nation" picture at the Grand amounted to up wards of $(0(. And it has been going strong ever since. The moral of which is: 1' ust get the right goods and then advertise them right. How far do you suppose this picture, great as it is, would have gone without the use of newspaper publicity! The ordinary man is like a shirt, for a number of reasons. One of them is that he has his off days. Help your self to the others. was The victory of the Lojus Sunday a juicy one. There is a man living in East Salem who sat on his front, porch last even ing nnd actually laughed as he read the hot weather stories from the east. It showed of course that he has n mean disposition, but can you blame him? TAN, RED 0 " n CKLED SKIN IS EASILY SHED A ..! RipplrttgRhuTnos A Walt Mason SMALL POTATOES To free your summer-soiled skin of its miuldiness, freckles, blotches or tnn the best thing to do is to free your- self of the skin itself. This is easily accomplished by the use of ordinary mercolized wax, which can be had at any drug Ktore. Cse at night as you use colit cream, washing it orr in uie morning. Immediate!-.' the offending surface skin begins to come off in fine powder-like "articles. Gradually the entire cuticle is absorbed, without pain or inconvenience. The second layer of skin now iu evidence presents n spot less whiteness and parkling beauty obtainable in no other way. If the heat tends to loosen nnd wrinkle your skin, there's an effective and harmless remedy you can readily make at home. Just let an ounce of powdered saxolite dissolve in a half pint of witch hazel and bathe your face, in the liquid. T'lis at once tight ens the skin and smooines out the lines, making yon look years younger. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS llnry E. Blncherby to Matthew Smalllot 7 Phelps add, Silverton. Rosa M.

State House News According to a stntemcnt received trom J. h. McBrien, school extension agent of the United States bureau of education, at the office of tho state superintendent of public instruction, Oregon ranks higher than nnv other state in the percentage of daily at tendance in the rural schools, with a wore of flO.li per cent. Connecticut is second with 88.4 per cent, and Massa chusetts third with a percentage of 811 per cent. The average daily attend ance "in the rural public schools of the I'uited States is 07.6 per cent. Articles of incorporation were filed yesterday at the office of the corpora tion commission by the Aberdeen com pany of Portland, with a capitaliza tion of $.1000, and by the Pacific Man ufacturing & Sales company qf Port land, also w-ith a capitalization of $, 000. The Kast Side Irrigation company Umatilla cotiuty "lias decreased its capital stock from ."iOoO to $2,100. The Kast Side Business Men 's club of Portland has dissolved as a stock cororatioii and reorganized as a non profit corporation. According to Percy Cupper, assistant state engineer, who accompanied the state land board on its recent trip to eastern Oregon, there are in the rim rocks of the coulees in Malheur aad Harney counties thousands of tons of rock containing free, almost pure, po- 'assinm nitrate one of the few places n tne world where the Biitistnnee is 'omul. Officials of the American Ni trate company demonstrated to the board ihe possibilities of another of Oregon's natural resources by mixing a little of the raw nitrate with sage brush ashes and applying a match to it. The board was convinced that the mixture made gunpowder. Governor Withycombe Is at Ft. Staves today, inspecting the coast artillery.

Collect Waste Paper to Give Girls Outing Portland. Or., July 2". With ttia triple purpose of fire prevention, get ting material for white paper and giv ing working girls an outing at. the sea shore, scores of Portland children to day carried bundles of waste paper to the fire department houses, where th rubbish was purchased for oo cents per hundred pounds. A paper factory ap propriated )2,ou0 for the. purjiose of making these purchase!,. Street cars carried the bundles free. The proveeds will go toward the girls' outing. HOW TO BE SLIM If you are too fat and want to reduce your weight 15 or 20 pounds, don't starve and weak en your system, or think you must always be laughed at on account of vour fat, but go to Central Pharmacy or any good druggist, and get a box of Oil of Korein capsules, take one after each meal and one before retiring at night. Weigh yourself once a week and note what a pleasant and reliable method this is for re moving superfluous fat from aay part of the body. It costs little, is absolutely harmless nnd a week's trial should convince anyone that it is unnecessary to be burdened with even a single pound of un sightly fat.
