FROSTED GLOBES
ARE GOOD Thing
Question of Brightness of Auto
Headlights Likely 70 Be
Finally Adjusted

Supervisor William Larsen VIII to
night introduce On amendment to his
ordinance for the dinming OF auto
mobile lights, the amendment to pro
vide frosted globe may he used to
lessen the light instead of the ground
glass that the ordinance first reQuir
ed.
Mr.. Larsen says that he is not re-
tracing from the stand he first took
in regard TO the good qualities OF the
ground glass, but that he has come
TO the conclusion that the frosted
globe, because of its ease of adjust.
ment, is good feature.
Either method" says Mr. Larsen,
will cut the lights down about 30
per cent in brilliance, and will be a
remedy for some of the fast driving
about the city"
Section of Ordinance So in the city
laws states as follows:
AT night no person shall operate
or drive any automobile, motorcycle,
or other similar vehicle along any
public highway or place at such a
rate of speed that such vehicle can
not be brought to a complete stop
within the distance ahead that the
driver or operator can see an object
the size. OF an adult person with the
aid of the lights of such vehicle In
connection with the light from other
sources
By this it is evident that an auto
mobile by putting on powerful
searchlight, the faster may the auto
mobile go. As Mr.. Larsen says, "A
rachine could practically fly, and
still come within the limits of the ord
nance"
II is the idea OF the supervisor that
hts "dimming" ordinance and the am
endment to it will have a direct In
fmence on this other ordinance.
For second reading tonight several
resolutions will be presented Among
these are the resolution for the addi-I
tional appropriation of $3.50 to the po-
lice station, the resolution which pro-
vides for $113702 to balance the
books OF the waterworks department,
and resolution making amendments
to the six months appropriation bill

ing. as is likewise the ordinance by

Supervisor Larsen's ordinance pro
viding for the placing Of the water
under one general head
will be amended tonight to state cer-
tain privileges and limitations of the
manager in the performance Of his dd.
ties.

A HOME REMEDY
FOR DYSPEPSIA

In view of the well known fact that
probably over 80 per cent of all stom.
ach trouble, dyspepsia, indigestion,
flatulence, ETC., is either directly or
indirectly due to acidity, or as it is
commonly called sour stomach" II
is evident that correction and pre-.
Fention depends almost entirely On
Reutralizing the acid and stopping the
fermentation. For this purpose there
is nothing better than teaspoonfAi
of ordinary bisurated magnesia in a
little water Immediately after eating
or whenever pain is felt This imme-
Giately neutralizes the acid, stops the
fermentation and permits the stom-
ach to proceed with its work under
normal conditions Owing to the wide
spread use of bisurated magnesia by
physicians and in the hospitals and
for greater convenience in carrying,
most druggists now supply it in 8
grain tablets, 2 of which are equiva-
lent to a teaspoonful of the ordinary
powder form. For sale by Benson,

WASHINGTON. d. C.-Submarines
and swift running torpedo boat de-
stroyers will be brought to Washing
ton by the Navy Department to add a
special feature TO the series OF events
which are to take place at the nation
al capital In connection with the forth
coming encampment Of the Grand

trast with those which we're in use a
half century ago the progress which
has been made since the days when
the Grand Army men and their broth

The fact Is appreciated that because
Of its successful operation in European
waters at the present time the sub
marine Is the most talked OF weapon
OF present day warfare. yet few OF the
veterans Of the Civil War have ever

The suggestion was at first made
that the department should bring to
Washington the old Hollands which
was the first underwater craft of oIfla
navy and from which the successful
boats of today have been developed.
and place beside 1t one OF the recently
constructed submarines. The fact that
this vessel has been sold 10 q private
concern will preclude that possibility,
and accordingly 1t has been planned
to bring here one OF, the earlier types
and also one Of the modern subnia-
rines to illustrate the progress made
in construction. An effort is also be-
ing made to have one or more hydro
planes brought here for exhibition pur-
poses.
It is also the intention Of the de-

ford, now at Charleston, s. c., restored
to the appearance she bore in the days
of the Civil War when she was the
flagship OF Admiral Farragut
The Navy and the Marine Corps Will
also be represented by their enlisted

FINANCING THE WAR.


How VIII some of the belligerents
pay for the enormous war supplies
bought in the. United States? This is
the problem of the future in Ameri-

received already aggregate over one
billion of dollars, and hundreds. of mil
lions more are practically sure to
follow; for peace is not yet in sight,
and the war has by no means reach
ed its greatest intensity. Prognosti-
cations are futile; yet it is more than
probable that the problem of financ-
Ing the war has not reached the real

COMPANY
IS ADVISED TO
TRY PUBLICITY

At the close of the investigation by
the public utilities commission last
night, in regard to the alleged high
telephone rates which are to go into
effect soon IN Hawaii, Chairman
Charles R. Forbes of the commission
suggested to the company that 1t
should place before the complaining
citizens the same facts that had been
given to the members of the commits
sion.
So plainly had the situation been
stated to Mr.. Forbes and the members
of his commission that he evidently
felt the citizens had no cause for COM
plant, and his suggestion, though not
a formal order, Is practically the same
es mandatory.
The explanation was given by Fred
erick G. Hummel. general manager
and John A. Balch, treasurer of the
Mutual Telephone Company, which re-
Gently took over the system OF the
Hawaii Telephone Company and re-
built II. They showed that an old
and WORKOUT plant which had been.
giving poor service had been replaced
by a new and up-todate one, at an
expenditure of $4,000.
Subscribers at the present time are
paying on a flat rate basis, with var
ions prices according to the distance
of the phone from the central office.
Under the new system, every long
distance call will have to. be paid for,
though the high flat rates for distant
subscribers will be much decreased.
All of this, according to the testimo-
ny, will tend to balance the cost in a
fair manner.

A Story Of Salem In
January Cosmopolitan

Salem is mentioned in the January
Cosmopolitan. Not in the way of an
advertisement but from the fact that
the Wallack Company Players, under
the direction of Daniel Frohman,
played at the Reed Opera house some
time during the year 1885, and bust
ness was so bad that the six leading
members of the company had their
photographs taken here and sent it to
Frohman in Portland, with the in
scription, "From your nice little com
pany, waiting for its salary"
Thirty years ago, the opera house of
the city occupied the second and third
floors Of the building in which the
Meyers dry goods store is located, and
was known as Reed IS opera house. The
theatre was under the management of
Leo Willis, who was succeeded few
years later by the Patton Brothers.
Hal D. Patton and Il. Cooke Patton
managed the opera house until 1900,
when the Odd Fellows building was
erected, with its present arrangement
for an opera house.
Thirty years ago, when the Wallack
Company Players amost went broke,
the entrance to Reed IS opera house was
on Liberty street, up flight of stairs
to the second story. All stage scenery
was also obliged to take its way up
these front stairs. The third floor of
the building, now used as a lodge room,
in those lays, was used as gallery.
The building now known as the Nc
Cornack block, was built by c. A.
Reed of Portland.

NO MORE BACKACHE
NO MORE MISERY

Hundreds of people have been reliev-
ed of the agonies caused by weak, dis
eased or clogged-up kidneys by using
Solvax, the new remedy that quickly
reaches the source of all kidney com
plants.
If you suffer with pains in your back
and sides or have any signs of kidney
or bladder trouble such as rheumatic
pains, puffy swellings under the eyes
or in the feet and ankles, if syou are
nervous, tired and rundown, or bother
ed with urinary disorders, Solvax will
quickly and surely relieve you of your
misery.
Solvax is probably the most potent
remedy yet devised for ridding the sys-
tenn of uric acid and driving out all
the poisonous impurities which cause
such troubles. 1t neutralizes, dissolves
and makes the kidneys sift out all the
uric acid and poisons left by the blood,
and renders the kidneys and urinary
organs clean, vigorous and healthy.
Many of the best druggists say that
no medicine ought to be paid for un-
less it does the user some good. Solvax
therefore sells under a positive guar
antee to quickly relieve the worst cases
of kidney trouble or your money re-
funded. Try Solvax today and if you
cannot see and feel decided change
for the better just 90 to the druggist
from whom you bought it and tell him
you want your money back and he will
return it without question. This is the
strongest argument that can be offered
in behalf Of any medicine. Solvax is
sold in Salem and vicinity by Daniel j..
Fry and other leading dealers.

Misplaced Christmas
Spirit Ruins Trees

Saturday night and Sunday night
vandals ruined three molly trees on the
state capital grounds evidently taking
the foliage for Christmas decorations
and left the prints of women's shoes
around the base of the trees. 1t is
the annual raid upon the holly trees
at the state house grounds that has be-
gun and Secretary of State Olcott as
custodian of the building and grounds
has offered a reward of $25 for the
arrest and conviction of any persons
who ruthlessly breaks branches from
the holly trees.
1t is stated that the vandals break
off whole limbs and the trees are Of
ten ruined entirely, it taking years
for them to grow out again, they being
very slow growers.
Last year nightwatchman was
kept on the grounds for several weeks
before Christmas.
