 Miss Dolly West, niece of James Fl. West, residing at 1SS Holcombe street narrowly escaped serious injury about 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon In an automobile accident which occurred on Holcombe street between Clayton and Mildred streets.
 MT. West and his two nieces were driving toward the city when the ma chine had slight collision with a trash wagon. Miss Dolly West, who was on the front seat with MT. West, became frightened and was jumping from the automobile when, just at the moment a street car bound for Washington Park, passed and struck Miss West. throw ing her to the pavement. There was only a very narrow space between the machine and the car and it was re- garded as very fortunate that Miss West was not struck a more terrific blow. She was only slightly bruised and after recovering from the nervous shook, walked to her home with assis- tance.
 The only damage to the automobile was the severance from the machine of mud guard.
 So slight were the. injuries Of Miss West that she was able to leave her home last evening.

Clmenceau will be able to maintain
their authority. This shows he
difference between the American and
the French temperament. Right
here in Oregon we have had an ecc-
nomic trouble as serious as that OF
the wine growers and that is the car
shortage of last Winter when the
sawmills of the state were crippled
in their output by lack of chipping
facilities. Now anyone who had pro-
posed that we quit paying taxes would
have been laughed to seorn. Then
Just think of some of our County
officials resigning because there were
not enough cars for lumber shipments.
Who ever heard Of an American office
holder ever resigning? They are not
built that way. We can hardly get
rid OF them after they are sentenced to
the penitentiary. So it might be.as
we'll II we could inject some Of the
French temperament and emotionalism
into our political life.

THE GREAT WHITE PLAGUE.

One Of the problems that worries q
great many people Is the fear that the
time win come when the earth will be
overpopulated and that some method
will have TO be devised for killing of
the surplus population. But il they
would only stop to consider they
would not need to worry for tubercu.
lssis seems TO be able to do its share
at the present time In reducing popu.
lstion. At the present time tubercu.
losis Is one Of the most battling di.
seases that confront the medical
fraternity. In the presence Of 1t.
they have to confess that they are
powerless. About the only advice
shat they can give is for the patient
to get ont in the open air and live
as near rs possible TO nature. Give
bis body a chance to perform its
natural functions. One thing that
has recently brought tuberculosis
especially to the notice of the public
Is the action OF :the Texas board Of
health in declaring quarantine
against it and placing it in the class
OF contagious diseases. There is bound
to be fierce legal struggle over this
action on the ground that IL is a re.
stralnt on personal liberty and the
right Of a citizen to travel from state
10 state. It is the most radical move
'ver taken by State board Of health.
There is no doubt that the fiooking of |
to the dry and hish alti.
udes of the United States is raising
serious problem for these localities.
Southern California. Colorado, Arizo-
Ia and now Teaxs, have been the
Mecca with the result that these
tstes are becoming inoculated with
he germs OF consumption and even
he strong and healthy native born are
'ecoming infected with the disease.
The physicians who can discover
ome method of successfully combat.
ng this disease will go down in his.
ory as one of the greatest saviors of
humanity.
