Howard l.. Simons, poultry dealer
i'm Riggs Market was accidentally
asphyxiated in the kitchen of his
apartment on the second floor of 1925
Florida avenue northeast, at an early
hour this morning. Mrs. Elsie Simons.
his wife. and mother of a four-year-
old child, had narrow escape. as an
explosion occurred when she went to
the kitchen TO look after him
Two burners of the gas stove were
lit when Mrs Smons went To the
kitchen. but gas enough had escaped
from an open burner 10 asphyXiate the
husband and make conditions In the
small room dangerous when the wife
went there and attempted TO light the
gas.
The gas in the room ignited and
caused an explosion the instant Mrs
Simons tried to light the gas. the 1orce
of the explosion having been great
enough to displace big skylight and
do other damage to the building.
Mrs. Simons' quick action In throwing
off her kimono. 1T is thought. saved her
from being burned to death Her hair

Explosion Alarms Neighbors.
Many neighbors heard the report of the
exnlosion and rushed to the street to
learn what had caused it, a number OF
them later going to the Simons apartment
and offering their assistance. Mr.. Cau-
LOFT extinguished the fire SO quickly that
n was not necessary to call out the fire
department.
When the blaze had been eXtinSuished
and the smoke disappeared Mr.. CauioH
and his daughter quickly realized what
had happened TO the young man. who
was married only about fifteen months
ago. His limp and lifeless form was
found on a chair near the stove. copy
of a newspaper having fallen TO the floor
beside him.
Simons. it is stated had been unable
to get the required amount of sleep dur
ing recent weeks and had several times
gone to the kitchen to read until he felt
he could retire and go TO sleep Last
night before going to the kitchen he COM
planned of having felt chilly and ii Is
thought he lit the gas range in order to
warm himself.
Unfortunately, all the burners did not
light, and sleep probably was induced by
the escaping gas without having at
tracted the attention of the young man,
who was tired out.
1t was about o'clock when the eX-
plosion occurred. A neighboring physician
was summoned and he said Mr.. Simons
had been dead some time. Coroner hewitt
later made an investigation and gave
certificate OF accidental death.

ly to decide upon what class of pave.
ment should be adopted, and the result
was the hard surface paving companies
and the asphalt paving firms clashed,
The final up.shot of the whole affair
was, the firm of Arenz & Sons Paving
Company, of Salem, has offered to
post n satisfactory surety bond which
will guarantee its class of pavement tc

pavement contract records on file at the
city hall, this is the longest guar

this city. The unsual surety of the

the close Of an argument on the part
of the asphalt bidders with the con
crete men, one of the former guaran
teeing his work to last for five years
The Arenz people base their ability
to lay hard surface pavement on the

prove their faith in their pavement

SKIN PEELING NATURES
AID TO NEW COMPLEXION
LFrom Woman 8 Trihnne.

Mercolized wax is a natural beauti.
fier. By flaking off the devitalized
surface skin, it merely hastens Ma
ture's work. The second skin layer,
brought gradually to view, exhibits the
healthy, youthful color produced by
capillary circulation. This because the
capillaries are thus brought nearer the
surface; also because the new skin is
unsoiled by dust and dirt This wax,
to be had at any drug store (an ounce
will do) is put on nightly like cold
cream, washed off mornings with warm
water. Its work usually is completed
in from seven to ten days, long enough
not to show too marked results from
day to day, or cause pain or detention
indoors.
A face bath to remove wrinkles,
made by dissolving an ounce of saxolite
in half pint witch hazel, is another
natural beautifier, since its astringent
and tonic effects smooth out the wrin.
kles in accordance with Natures s own
process.

CALIFORNIA WILL
PERMIT FIGHTING
Legislators Are Generally Opposed tt
Proposition to Abolish the Arena
Fights.

State Capitol, Sacramento, Cal,
March 19,-Apparently the fight fans
Of California need entertain no serious
fears that the game will be killed by
two bills now before the legislature.
Chairman Nelson, of the public NOR.
ais committee of the assembly and
Bohnett, another prominent member of
the body, refused proffers to introduce
the anti-fight bill later submitted by
Brown, Of San Mateo. Canepa, of San
Francisco, and other members of the
committee are also openly opposed to
the abolishment of arena fights, and
predictions were freely made about the
capitol today that the Brown measure
would find almost no support when it
comes up for passing tomorrow after
noon.
Senator Brown has introduced a bill
in the upper house permitting four,
round boxing matches, which is less
drastic than the assembly bill. A hear,
ing on the former will be held before
the senate committee next Monday.
The police committee of the San
Francisco board of supervisors, in an
open letter to Assemblyman Canepa,
declared that they "believe the sport
is now conducted in manner which is
neither inimical to good morals nor de
grading in any respect"
