SAVAGE WOMEN HEALTHY

The savage lives in the open, eats

plenty of sleep and exercise and is
perfectly healthy and strong, but the

rundown, nervous and physically
unfit to be a companion or wife.

This Frees Your Skin
From Hair or Fuzz
(Toilet Tips)

The method here suggested for the
removal of superfluous hair is quick
and certain and unless the growth is
extremely stubborn, a single applica-
tion does the work. Make a stiff
paste with some powdered delatone
and water; apply this to the hairy
surface and after about minutes rub
it off, wash the skin and the hairs are
gone. To avoid disappointment, be
sure your druggist sells you delatone.

Solving Western Mysteries.

Can any Of your older readers, or
descendants of the early pioneers, tell
me about the mysterious savior of the
Merrill train? It was long train of
OK teams on the Santa Fe trail in the
sixties, crowded with the women and
children Of hardy pioneers. Attacked
by an overwhelming force Of Indians,
the train was miraculously preserved.
For years have been trying to col
lect the evidence Of the survivors of
what otherwise would have been a
tragedy outrivaling the Mountain
Meadow massacre. These people went
on West. Some of them must still be
living, or told the story to their de-
scendants. II any such read these
lines, will they kindly write me? Any
other sidelights upon pioneer days will
be welcome from participants therein.
The secret and unrecorded side Of NE
when the West was new - its trane1
dies, heroisms, crimes, events-thrilla
with human interest, and should be
noted down by the actors therein be-
fore they pass on. Collecting such
original data is my recreation in the
interludes of busy life, which some
time may prove useful in working up
the unwritten history Of the Vest

English House Of Commons Makes
Another Big War Appropriation

London-The house of commons ad-
journed Wednesday after unanimously
giving first reading to the bill pro-
viding the new Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, Reginald McKenna, with a
blank check which may amount, at a
maximum, to 81, 900, 900, 900 ($5, 000,-
000,000.)
The vote of credit for $3.50, 900, 900
Isl, $50, 900, 000), PASSED last week
by the house, simply authorized the
government to spend that much for
war purposes, but did not provide for
the manner in which this sum should
be raised. Wednesdays enactment
was in the form Of resolution which
empowers the government to raise not
only the $3.50, 00O,0 900 deemed neces-
sary to pay the cost Of the war, at the
rate of CO, 900, 900 sterling daily, for Q
limited period, but as much more as
may be needed.
The chancellor of exchequer made 8
long explanation Of the proposed loan,
and in closing said that on the tech
nical question as to the limit Of the
new loan it would be dangerous to dis
close the necessity for not fixing any
definite sum, and he added that the
only figures he could put in the bill
would be a maximum which woult
cover all requirements of the new loan

OREGON NEWS OF GENERAL INTEREST
Boys Go To College.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-For the third time number Of
boys Of the grade schools Of Oregon
are taking the short course in agri-
culture at the State college. As in
previous years the boys enjoy the work
as well as profit by it. The preceding
sessions were successful from the
standpoint of all concerned. Regular
hours were observed and the customary
boys rules enforced. The big brother
idea was worked out by assigning each
group Of ten boys to student in
structor who became responsible for
their conduct and general welfare.
The boys show great interest in
their work and while there are as
usual few cases of inconsistencies
among the smaller boys, they are in
variably glad they came and are sorry
to leave at the end Of the term. Aside
from the value Of the work in the reg
|ular courses there are many advan-
tages in the trip to the college town,
the experience Of being away from
home and living on college campus.
"While any boy in the state is elig-
ible," says Director E. d. Ressler,
.'care should be exercised in approval.
Boys Of good habits, trustworthy anc
eager to learn are especially desired
There is no room for the cigarette
smoker or the loafer, but wide awake
up-to-date American boy is lively
animal and is not expected to be al
dignified as college professor. There
are plenty Of good lively sports ant

ing off excess animal spirits.
'The object of the course is to fur
nish the boys interesting information

Immediately, and give them apprecia
tion of the vast extent of their sub
jects and encourage them to pursu
their investigations further"

heartbreaking in its intensity was en-
acted before their eyes.

in direct peril by the pounding surf,
herding them into deep "slre" run
ming seaward from the Strand at Chel-
sea avenue.

young woman, are missing and may
have met the same fate.

FAILURE TO AID IN WEST IS NOT LIKED

London Conscription propaganda is
making great headway in Great Brit
ain. Depsite the cautious assurances
Of Premier Asquith and Mr.. Lloyd
George that compulsion is not contem-
plated, it is we'll known in Fleet street
that new factor has recently been
introduced into this, the most serious
of the controversies raised by the war.
Britain's allies are pressing her to
adopt forthwith sweeping measure
of national military service. The de-
mapd is particularly strong from Rus
sia. Emperor Nicholas and his minis
ters feel that Engalnd's failure to
bring more men to the firing line on
the west during the period Of Russian
sensational advance in Galicia has
proved to be more demoralizing in
fluence on the fortunes Of war than
Winston Spencer Churchill's fiasco in
the first Dardanelles assault.
Pressure from her allies, according
to Mr.. Asquith, led England to change
her party cabinet into a national gov
ernment, and the Saturday Review
declares that "just as the Radical Pre-
mier gave up his lifelong convictions
on coalition ministries at the behest Of
Paris and Rome, 50 he is being stead,
