may turn the voters from a man

have been imbued with his un-

nothing to prove against Parker
that will lose votes for him, they

~
1908, throws some lurid light on
iIfew Of the dark places In the
Oregon State Senate concerning
lib operations in connection with
the Title Guarantee and Trust
Co.. the Savings Bank that last
iall made the worst failure in the
history of the State, which but
for the generosity of WINS Ladd
would have made thousands Of
well-to-do persons penniless, de-
pleted the State School fund
several thousands of dollars, and
reduced many poor widows and
orphans to o state of want.
The 0regonian says, Many Of
the crooked works of the Ross
bank, while offenses against the
people and the good-faith rules
u legitimate banks. are not pun
ishable as crimes against the
peace and dignity of the state;
such, for example. as keeping a
secret paid lobby at the Legis-
lature to fight hostile" legisla-
ton; presenting to the public as
aboost to crooked bank business,
false statements of finances;
using depositors' funds to carry

This lobby had a secret code of

Revision of Laws and Judiciary,
% which all the banking legis-
htion wanted by the defunct
bank was referred; and it is a
matter of common record that
the Trust company got laws pas
sed or defeated just about as it
wanted them. One of the laws
in which the said bank was inter-
ested was the Review" bill-a
bill introduced with the object of
reviewing the suit for the possess
sion Of the Marquam Theater
property in Portland, which the
now defunct bank had managed
to Flaw" the real owner out of.
After this bill passed the House,

busy" A cipher message was
sent to Ross by Atty. Kollock, one
Of the banks lobbyists, stating
that the Haines bank bill was
well watched" and that the
bill for the control of state de-
posits was gaining ground. +"
This scared Ross who added to
his lobby and had wired to Kol-
lock, Provide room for Munly;

vigilantly". The next day the
bill appeared in the Senate, and,
on Bowerman's motion, was re-

Heat Tests OF Clothing.

An interesting experiment made in
June by physician, proved conclu-
sively that for the sake of GOODNESS
only white should be worn in hot
weather.
The physician spread out in an
intense sunshine large piece OF
white cloth, another of dark yellow.
another of light green, another OF
dark green, another of blue and an
other of black.
Then, with the help of six Their
mometers, he made the following
table of the various heats which each
color received from the sunlight:
White, 100 degrees; dark yellow, lao
degrees; light green, 155 degrees;
dark green, 16S degrees; blue, 1913
degrees; black, EOS degrees.
Thus the physician proved that in
July or August the man in white is
little less than twice as cool as
the man in blue, and little more
than twice as cool as the man in
black.

Arithmetic BY Color.

A wonderful calculating girl, Mile.
Diamandi, has just been presented
to the Society of Anthropology in
Paris.
In the presence of many eminent
mathematicians she performed sew
eral remarkable feats, such as work
ing out almost instantly and by men
tai process only the square of 25
figures, subtractions of sums of IL
figures, the square root of from s
to IL figures, and the cube root OF
from to 10 figures.
Another feat of mental arithmetic
she performed in less than a minute
was to give the number of seconds
within period of 25 years.
Mile Diamandi, who is only 20
years old and of Greek origin, says
that every figure presents itself to
her minds eye in different color.
Thus, 1 is always black, 2 yellow, 3
pink, and so on. The color vision
is constant, and is entirely dependent
of her own volition.

BANISHED
Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cof-
fee even after they know it is doing
them harm is puZzler. But 1t is an
easy matter to give 1t up for good,
when Postum Food Coffee is proper
ly made and used instead.
A girl writes: Mother had been
suffering with nervous headaches for
seven weary years, but kept drinking
coffee.
Zone day asked her why she did
not give up coffee. as cousin of
mine had done who had taken to
Postum. But mother was such a
slave to coffee she thought it would
be terrible to give it up.
Finally, one day, she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morn
ing while she was drinking Postum
SO freely and with such relish asked
for taste.
THAT started me on Postum, and
l now drink 1t more freely than did
coffee. which never comes into our
house now.
"a girl friend of mine, one day,
saw me drinking Postum and asked
If it was coffee. / told her 1t was
Postum, and gave her some to take
home. but forgot to tell her how to
make 1t.
1.-THE next day she said shs did not
see how ! could drink Postum. i
found she had made it like ordinary
coffee. So told her how to make 1t
right, and gave her a cupful made,
after boiling 1t fifteen minutes. She
said she never drank any coffee that
tasted as good. and now coffee is BAN
ished from both our homes" Name

Several more steel plants have re-
sumed and others will start up next

much reduced until orders come Tor

determine upon the wage scale.
Prices have declined to an extent
that necessitates plans for lowering
costs of production.
