a shock to Boston. When the

fair, Censor John McCasey put
his foot down on their legs, as it
were.
"Men' legs, or women's
legs," said he, "it make no
difference. Bare legs are shock-
ing, unless as part of a bagpipe
player. As women ' legs, men '
legs cannot appear. "

than 300 quart bottles of whiskey
packed in five barrels labeled "skid

Early Morning Fire
Causes Dress Rehearsal
Los Angeles, Cal., March 15 Eight
hundred guests of the exclusive Ross
lyn hotel fled into the streets thinly
clad early today as a result of a fire
discovered in the older part of the
establishment. The basement of the ho
tel and some of the business houses in
the hotel block were damaged. The loss
is estimated at $100,000.
Y. K. Lee, a Korean, was injured by
jumping from the third floor.
Confusion reigned as smoke swept
through the upper floors of the hotel
and for a time it was feared the panic
among the scantily clad men and wo
men would result in loss of life. How
ever, the majority of the people es
caped by the stairways, and elevators,,
and the rest were rescued from fire
escapes or their rooms by firemen, po
lice and hotel attendants.
The hostelry itself was not greatly
damaged. Small business houses in the
Rosslyn building facing on .Main street
were "badly damaged by both fire and
water.

WPtL BUILD CRUISERS
Washington, Mar. 15. Dissatisfac
tion with recent bids offered by Ameri
can ship builders for naval vessels has
virtually caused the navy department
to decide to construct four of its five
new battle cruisers on a cost basis, plus
a 10 per cent profit, to the private
builders.
Tho fifth ciuiscr will be constructed
in a government yard, according to pres
ent plans.

How to Prevent Croup
When the child is subject to attacks
of croup, see to it that he eats a light
evening meal, as an overloaded stoni
aeli may bring on an attack, also watch
for tho first symptom hoarseness, and
give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as
soon as the child becomes hoarse. Ob
tainable everywhere.
Higb School Notes
The baseball eitnatiea at the high
school is in a doubtful way. On acronnt
of lack of funds the student body can
not appropriate any money to this ac
tivity which in the past has been one
of the main athletic activities ot the1
school.
Manager Ro?s however las scheduled
jinnies with teams that will pay Sa
lem's war to their town bnt will not
demand a return game in Salem. These
towns are Amity, Woodburn, Silverton
and Monroe and are not expected to
put out good teams, so Salem will not
play any team of her own class as the
prospects are now.
If any funds are raised games will
be likelv to be scheduled with the
larger Willamette valley teams if these
teams have an open date.
M
Track season will soon begin. Coach
Fletcher will call a meeting Monday
for the purpose of lining up track pros
pects which from present indications
Iseein to be good.
Manager Hales has so tar scheduled
meets with Eugene, Lincoln high of
I'ortlitnd and, the ). A. V. freshman.
He has also scheduled a dual meet
hetween the Willamette vallev hih
Ischools sometime in May.
Many students have secured tickets
to attend the Cadman conceit given
Friday evening at the opera house. The
concert is under the direction of Miss
Mngers. of the singing department, and
many of her pupils will attend in a
body.
Rank Foolishness
You occasionally see it stated that
colds do not result from cold weather.
That is rank foolishness. Were it true
colds would be as prevalent in mid
summer as in midwinter. The microbe
that causes colds flourishes in damp,
cold weather. To get rid of a cold take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is ef
fectual and is highly recommended by
people who have used it for many
years as occasion required, and know
its real value. Obtainable everywhere.
