JUST FOR HUMANITY One of the best bills passed at this session, from a purely humanitarian viewpoint, is senate bill 105 intro duced by Senator Huston. It provides for the sending of children under sixteen who are deformed and whose de formities can probably be remedied, or who are suffering from some malady that there is reasonable hope of cur ing, may be sent to the medical college of the University of Oregon for treatment, the expense to be borne by the counties. The bill provides every safeguard provid ing that there must be an examination of the case by a physician, and a hearing before the county judge before the patient can be sent to the hospital. It provides also for the removing from the hospital at the wish of the child's parents and also for sending the patient to some j other hospital under certain conditions. The bill also : provides that no patient shall be used for the purpose of experimentation, or treated for other ailment than that Some Little Stories and Gossip of the Legislatures Four Alleged Conspirators Lroyd-George Held One of the moat annoying things President Moser has to contend with if the lack of attention of tho senutors during roll call.

The weakness of the Polk county position lies in the fact that they lack the money to pay for their share of a concrete bridge. They have no money for that purpose in the treasury and the levy of this year does not include provision for it. The officials of the county are aware of this fact and would be compelled to recede from then position if the Marion county court were to take them at their word and agree to sign up for a concrete bridge. They are simply fighting for delay and one excuse is as good as another just so they gain this point. Marion county, on the other hand, has been preparing for this emergency and has fully $200,000 with which to build the new bridge; it could pay the entire cost of the best type of steel bridge without adding a dollar to the burden of the taxpayers. The money has already been provided for. There is one of two things to do build a new bridge, or decide not to build and maintain a permanent ferry. The Marion county court may do either, or they may con tinue to drift aimlessly while the Polk county court plays politics with them for a few years more. A majority of the people of Polk county want a bridge but a little gang w hich controls the county court, mostly in Dallas, do not, and they will be in control at least un til the next election when the pr esent appointed judge will be succeeded by a judge elected by the people When the people of Polk county have an opportunity to be heard they will declare for a bridge but that time is almost two years away. Until that time it is a waste of words to talk about" building any kind of a bridge with the court of Polk county because the members are insincere in all their declarations and positively will reach no agreement on the subject, even though all the demands tney aie making are complied with. Why not go ahead and build when there is ample money in the treasury with whici- to pay for it? Why bother with the Dallas politicians at all? It is noticed that the legislatui'.' does more work from three o'clock to six than it does during the rest of the day. Legislators seeing a lot of work on the calendar that is going to make them late to dinner, get a move on, and bills are allowed to go through without a flow of oratory. The nearer it gets to meal time the more rapid the dis posal of bills. Now that the session is nearing its end and a tremendous amount of work remains to be done it might be a good plan for the lawmakers to adopt a rule allowing themselves but two meals a day. Getting hungry they would turn on "high" and speed up. For once this country and the allies are agreed. They say they do not want the United States to enter the war, and this country is just as anxious to avoid it as the allies can be to have us do so. ' brevet smokes to take heart of grace. The anti-cigarette bill, if the editorial in the Oregonian is as effective as the one just mentioned, will be sterilized and made to apply only to minors. We've made our jail so snug and warm, im pervious to cold and storm, that Richard Roe is glad to dwell all winter in his cozy cell. We've cleaned the walls and scrubbed the floors, and whitewashed ceilings, bars and doors, till sanitation cranks declare there are no harmful microbes there. The jail's inspected now and then by uplift dames and faddish men, who anaylze the forks and spoons and push their noses in the prunes.

It asks why the legislature: should be better qualified to fix the pay of a county of ficial than the people of the county through their county court or by vote. As a matter of fact it is not so quali fied. Instead, the member of the legislature from the county comes down to Salem with instructions as to the salary the people want the official to have and the legis lature wastes time it could put to better purpose telling these people they can have what they want. At the same time this being admitted would it not end lots of other legislative interference with purely local affairs? Sen ator Vinton a few days ago arguing against the "certifi cate of necessity" bill which would prevent competition between public utilities, took the stand that McMinnville knew better than any public service commission whether 't wanted another telephone line or another electric light plant.

LADD & BUSH, Bankers Established 1868 CAPITAL $500,000.00 Transact a General Banking Business Safetv Deposit Boxes .SAVINGS DEPARTMENT Under the terms of the federal good roads law, almost half a million dollars will be spent in this state this year if the state raises a like sum. There would be no trouble in having the state raise her portion, if the legislators could agree as to where the money should be spent. Naturally every section would like to see some of the money spent in it, and Portland wants it all spent in two or three main highways ending in Portland. - If this can be arranged the money may be forth coming. a. The time is past to discuss the issues between the United States and Germany. The situation has passed that stage, and every American man and woman is back of the government, prepared to support the decision of the president without a question. The time has come to subscribe to the gallant. Decatur's toast: "My Country, May She Always Be Right, but right or wrong My Country!" Representative Charles A. Small, one of the active members of the legislature, has a splendid idea if he can get it adopted. It is embodied in a resolution prohibiting the submission of single tax measures to the people under the initiative more frequently than once in eight years. If Mr Small succeeds in securing anything of this nature, it will be one of the most beneficial legislative enactments of the session. The trouble with the inter-county bridge is that the county officials across the river are too "Polk-y."

CARELESS USE OF SOAP SPOILS THE HAIR ajesfcslsjJlislJ-'jsjesisslsJleijcslesjtsle Soap should he used very earefulrr; if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle) and ruins it. The beat thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsit'ied eoeoanut oil (which is pure and grcasc'less), and is better than the most expensive soap or any thing else you can use. One or two tcaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and sculp thoroughly. Simply moisten tho hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust. dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the fair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy und easy to manage. You can get mulsified eoeoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. Y. M. C. A. Membership Contest 1 1 00 Members I 11 00 Hours!
