whether she is willing to use
baking powder made of inf or

One kind is easily distin-
guiShed from the other, since
the laws Of vario Gus States require
the ingredients to be printed
upon the label. If anyone is in

full, it is worth while to ask the
family doctor. Then decide.
And when once decision is

1t is not question Of few

Prominent Women Plead
for School for Girls

State Capitol, Salem ~ Declaring
that there was real need for the insti-
tuition and that it was the duty Of the
state, which it should not attempt to
shirk, to take care of and educate its
wayward girls, IL women, represent
ing various clubs, appeared before the
joint ways and means committee this
week and protested against the pro-
posed recommendation to the legisla-
ture that the Industrial School for
Girls be abolished.
Representatives of the women's
clubs spoke frankly, as did members
of the committee, and it is believed a
plan will be agreed upon that will be
satisfactory to all concerned. Mrs. S.
M. Blumauer, representing the Coun-
Gil Of Jewish Women, said it would be
unjust and unwise at this time to dis
continue the school. 1t was not mer-
cenary question, she urged, but an
economical one, and duty that should
be performed. The fact that only a
comparatively few girls had been
taken care Of was no reason for doing
away with the school, she said.

State Capitol, Salem = Permanent

duced by the joint committee on judi

House Passes Bill to Re-
peal Many Appropriations

State Capitol, Salem-Friends of the
Oregon National guard made an effort
in the house to save the $4,000 con-
tinuing appropriation provided for that
organization before the Schuebel bill,
providing for a general repeal Of all
continuing appropriations, was passed
and sent over to the senate.
Although it was plain from the start
that the National guard fund, as a
continuing appropriation, would be
wiped out if the Schuebel bill carried,
members Of the guard made no protest
against the measure until just before
it was placed on its final reading.
Then Representative Allen, of Marion
county, who is member of the guard,
appealed to the house to save the item
out of the bill. His pleas fell on deaf
ears.
He pointed out that the National
guard fund had been placed on con-
tinuing basis for the purpose of taking
the guard out of politics and urged
that by passing the measure in its
present form it would be necessary for
the officers of the guard to come be-
fore the legislature every two years
and ask for money to carry on their
work.

Pastor Uses Doll in Talk.

Baltimore-Dr. Weston Bruner sur.
prised worshippers at st. Fuller Bap-
tist church Sunday when in the course
of his sermon against fashionable dress
ing he produced doll. He then pro
ceeded, the while using the doll to
illustrate his subject, to condemn the
irregularities Of modern feminine ap-
parel. The doll was dressed and un-
dressed several times, was adorned
with jewelry and then stripped and
clad again in modest clothing which
took place Of the slit skirt, etc. In
emphatic terms the speaker denounced
many forms of modern dress, remark
ing on the beauty Of modesty and that
while clothes do not make the man,
without exception they depict the
character of woman.

7Uo British Vessels Sunk
off West Coast of England

London-A German submarine, the
2l, made raid off the west coast Of
England Monday. At least two Brit.
ish vessels were sunk.
The Ben Cruachen, q small steamer
on her way from Cardiff to Liverpool,
was hailed off Liverpool, and sent tc
the bottom after her crew had beer
warned they would have only 10 min
utes to escape. The other vessel was
the Linda Blanche, steam trawler or
her way from Manchester to Belfast.
The crews of both vessels reached
land safely, that Of the Ben Cruachen
at Fleetwood and that Of the Linda
Blanche at Liverpool.
The captain Of the Ben Cruachen
says he was overtaken by the sub
marine and ordered to leave his ship
within ten minutes. Hardly had the
crew got into the boats when a tor
pedo was fired, and the steamer went
down.
The Ben Cruachen, which was Of
1878 tons register and belonged to the
Morrison Shipping company, was on a
voyage from Cardiff to Liverpool with
cargo of 5000 tons of coal.
Fleetwood is one of the principal
fishing and shipping ports and water
ing places on the west coast.
The steamer Graphic, with passen-
gers, Belfast to Liverpool, the paper
says, passed wreckage, and soon after
wards saw the Ben Crauchen sunk.
The Graphic was chased, but eluded
pursuit and reached the Mersey safely.
The Linda Blanche was on its way
from Manchester to Belfast when the
submarine suddenly appeared along
side. Officers came aboard, and, in
perfect English, ordered the crew to
leave the steamer. As soon as the
men of the Linda Blanche were in
their boats the Germans attached a
mine to the bridge and another to the
forecastle. The mines were then ex-
ploded, destroying the vessel.

Rich NeU York Man
Kills Three, Then Self

New York-Armed with magazine
rife, equipped with an automatic 81
lencer, Herman Auesbach, a wealthy
real estate operator who had become
Respondent because of financial re-
verses, Sunday shot and killed his wife
and two daughters as they slept and
then, returning to his own bed, killed
himself.
His son, Lester, high school stu
dent, was the only member Of the
family left alive.
So completely did the device muffie
the reports Of the weapon that the
tragedy was not discovered until
several hours later, when the son
found note from his father. The
quadruple killing took place in an
apartment house on Central Park
West.
Coroner Feinbery said that Auerbach
evidently had been planning the trag-
edy for several days. The dead mans
son informed the coroner that his
father had taken the rifle home nine
days ago. The coroner expressed the
belief that the mans despon-
dency was due to recent depreciation
in value Of mortgages and securities
which he held.
The boy found under his door note
in his fathers writing which read:
when you wake up telephone
Uncles Leopold and Joe Levy and
grandpa" i"
The boy went to his fathers room,
where he found his father and mother
dead in their beds, between which lay
the rifle. Dashing into the room Of
his sister he found Beatrice, aged 18,
and Daisy, 2 years old, dead also, with
the bedclothing tucked about them ant
drawn over their heads
