WATCH FOE OTJR ANNIVERSARY j $ WHO'S? mm urn OWNERSJN SESSION Flayer limit of Club Will Be Reduced and Schedule Shortened Chicago, Dec. 12. American league club owners, shortly before they for mally opened their annual meeting this afternoon, appeared to be a unit for a reduction of the player limit from 25 to 22. There has been some talk of making the player limit as low as 18, out this seemg to have been abandoned because of the unexpected additional heavy loss of players through enlist ment and tho draft before the season opens. Tho officials who particularly favor the 22 player limit are Colonel Eup pert, and Miler Huggins of the New York Yankees and President Ball of the St. Louis Browns- Kuppert and ' Huggins announced they were negotiating for a trade which would bring Derril Pratt of the Browns to New Y'ork. They said it would have to be a player deal, rather than a cash transaction, but declared they did net know which of their men they would consider as eligible to such a trade. The majority of club owners were jn favor of a 140 game schedule for next season as compared with the 154 game schedule of the past. Evejy official in attendance was in the market for players any player, at any price. They realize, some said, that the minor leagues are ' ' poor pick ing ' ' this, year because they 've al ready drafted the cream of the bunch, and Uncle Sam has drafted the best of tho remainder, Reduction of players' salaries had the approval of every one, but no one wanted to be quoted to that effect un til official action was taken.

Oumut. tk "WW ELECTION PRECINTS ARE BADLY MUDDLED District Attorney Gehlher Ad vises Delay In Putting Popular Law In Effect Declaring it impossible to -eomply with tho j. revisions of the constitution- al joint elections amendment sanctionel by the popular vote at tho last election, District Attorney MjK Gehlhar in an address today before the annual conven- tion of county judges and commission- ers in Portland, recommended that at-1 and city insisting on their present suo temps to re-establish precinct boundar- divisions, would create a dead-lock, and es and create joint election boards De refrained from until more, adequate ma chiuery for putting the amendment into jffeet can be secured. This would mean that the next regular tity and state elections would be held as in the past with the exception that both would take place on the same day, as the section of the amendment covering the date of holding elections is held to be self-executing. "If every county m the state will refrain from making new precincts," said Mr. Gehlhar, "except where requir - ed on account o the present size, until the legislature meets again, no harm can be accomplished. The cities tneni miyht hold their elections -as before with tiie exception of the time whieh must be on tha samo day. They will simply hold tho elections in the usual manner because it will be impossible to even at tempt to comply with tho constitutional amendment. "It appears certain to mo that if the county courts do make the precinct changes, causing the purchase of a lar ger number of additional ballot boxes and booths, and the disruption of the present permanent registration system and causing large expense in re-registration and in correcting the regfstration files by the county clerks, that the re sult would be so unsatisfactory to the public that an immediate repeal- of the amendment would follow. In that way, the public would have been caused un necessary amount of annoyance at con siderable expense, without any good be ing accomplished. But" by adopting the other course, on the assumption that the provision in regard to election' boards and precinct boundaries are not self executing, legislation can be provided at the next session to get all the good and avoid all the harm that might be con tained if taken literally." District Attorney Gehlhar is of the opinion ihat the immediate application of the aVendment to the smaller towns would wrk great hardship and incon venience.lle would have the provisions of tho new law applied to the larger cities of the state first and then grad ually extended to the smaller cities, as it was found to work out satisfactorily. The legislature coukl not of course, repeal the constitutional amendment, said Attorney Gehlhar, but on the as sumption that the provisions of it gov erning the establishment " of precinct boundaries and joint election boards were not self-executing, it could, by failiug to provide the necessary machin ery for holding joint -elections in cities aiid towns smaller than 4,000 or 5,000, defer the time of its actual going into effect as fas as such smaller cities and towns vfere concerned. "If the results obtained from such legislation proved satisfactory, the legis lature might, at a fnture session, in crease the number of cities holding joint-elections, by making it apply to cities of smaller population, for in stance, to cities of one thousand. This could be extended as rapidly as it was found that the plan was successful and met with the wishes of the people. By adopting this general plan, all the good could be obtained from holding joint elections in the larger cities from the stand point of convenience and econ omy, and all the harm following the application of it in the smaller incor- iporated towns m regard to inconven- :Avaeil HTHPtifl. could be iruic niiu - , avoided." The section of the amendment requir ing precinct boundaries to be the same has been held bv Attorney General Brown to be self -executing and county STUMEZE.

MISTER ' EXCUSED .OLD THING mtADTHAT v- 4 T 100K judges are thus authorized and empow ered to make every small incorporated city and town a scperate precinct. "If this is done", declares Attorney Gehlhar, "it is going to cost the state of Oregon, outside of Portland, from $15,000 to $20,000 in addition to causing a great inconvenience to the voter and to disrupting the present permanent reg istration files and causing great ex pense in the office of the county clerk in complying with the large number of changes in precinct boundaries. "As to what the obligation of the county court is in regard to the chang- u ,-,'rifi, in the lar.r itie. is a mat ter that i ju doubt. It is held by many,1 that the city is as much obligated to. I change its precincts to correspond witn I the county precincts as the county is to change its precincts to correspond with the city subdivision. Both county this condition of ltselr, indicates tnat the portion of the act is not self -exec ut ing. ' ' The question is, if the two elections next summer cannot be held with the same election board, what is the use of going to all the needless expense, and causing unnecessary inconvenience to the voter at the present time." Would Cost Marlon County $1000 Putting the amendment into effect in Marion county, counting only tne smaii ! towns that are a part of the larger ; election precincts and where the size of the precincts is such that it would not ' require a sub-division for a great many years, and maKing oniy one exira pio cinet in each case, would require the creation of eleven new precincts. As suming the average expense for each precinct for the pay of election boards, rent of polling places, light and heat, to be $4U, without regard to the size of the nrecinct. and adding the expen ses for delivery and return of the bal lot boxes, printing of ballots and pro viding ballot-boxes, envelopes and sup plies, the added expense to Marion coun ty alone would bo upwards of $1,000 the next year. COMBING WON'T BID HAIE OF DANDRUFF The only sure way to get rid of dand ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; applj it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. Do this tonight, and by morning, most if not all. of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more ap plications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sin and trace of it, no matter how much dand ruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work.
