TAKE OFF EVERYTHING
EXCEPT WRIST WATCHES

ATLANTA, Ga, April ATLANTA
women take off everything when they
get in the bath tub except their wrist
watches, and these they leave on their
wrists under the mistaken idea that
water doesn't hurt the movements,
according to an Atlanta jeweler, who
claims to spend about half his time
cleaning the rust out of watches that
have been immersed in this fashion.
There's no use to argue with a
woman" says this jeweler. eff she has
her watch cleaned out today she will
&C right home and drop it on her bu-
reau and spill face powder all over it,
and, six months hence she'll come
back and demand that we clean it out
again for nothing.
But face powder, bad as it is on
watch movements, is a cinch compar-
ed to rust in wrist watches. A woman
will come in and take off her wrist
watch and ask why it refuses to run.

Leaves Jimmy"
AS Signal Of
Burglars Trip

ATLANTA, Ca, April IA young
Atlanta married man who is fond OF
society and late hours went home the
other night, or rather the other morn
ing, for it was bordering on the day.
light hours, in a condition which he
was very anxious to conceal from his
wife who is wearer of the white
ribbon and prohibitionist of the stern
Puritanical mould that grows to per-
lection in Kansas and other deserts of
earth.
Hubby managed to get into the house
and into the bed without attracting
more than usual attention, and con-
graduated himself on escaping the
wrath of his W. c. T. U. spouse. The
next morning she was up and stirring
before he awoke, and presently re-
turned to his room with heavy iron
bar in her hand and look of anxiety
on her face.
Darling" she said, you had a mar
row escape when you came home last
night. Suppose you had come into the
house while the burglar was here. He
would have killed you with this terri
BILE thing" and she exhibited a real
mans size Jimmy" and told her bib
uious spouse that she had found it on
the front porch and that she supposed
the burglar had left it there when he
went away. 1t did not occur to the
wife to look through the house for
signs of a burglar, and it goes with
out saying that the husband did not
call her attention to the oversight.
But that night at the club the hus-
band told his friends that one of the
best things in the world to take home
with you when you go in late is

carelessly dropped on the front
porch.

ASQUTTA REPEATS
HIS 2. PEACE .CE Terms
Socialist Member Precipi.
tates Discussion in House
of Commons.

LONDON, Feb. 24-Phillip snowden,
Socialist member for Blackburn, took
advantage Of the discussion Of the
governments consolidated fund bill in
the House Of Commons to raise the
question of conditions under which it
would be possible to bring the war to
an end with the object for which the
allies were fighting realized.
The speaker declared that all the
nations, and especially Germany, were
being driven to.accept;the evidence Of
this war OF the futfllty of milttarism,
and the time was thereforeif ripe for
making movement in the direction
Of peace. Inspartfcular Mr.. Snowden
maintained that the German Social
lists were sstolidly> in favor OF. peace,
now that it had been proved that Ger
many was invulnerahle from external
attack. .,.,
Premier Asquith welcomed Mr..
Snowden's admission that the country
was at one and would remain of one
mind in demanding that the condition
of peace should be such as to secure
the permanent attainment Of the ma
tional aim.
"There is absolutely unity in coun-
try" he continued.
The real gist of Mr.. Snowden's
speech, added the Premier was the
contention that a genuine desire for
peace existed in Germany. AS evidence
OF this there was the report of the de.
bate in the Retchstag and the Chancel-
lors speech in which he said he would
welcome approaches from any quar-
ter, but did not say he was prepared
to make approaches himself.
Mr. Asquith concluded as follows,
his words evoking applause from every
corner OF the house:
What / said November 8, 1914, /
repeat now: "We shall never sheathe
the sword which we have not lightly
drawn until Belgium and, will add,
Serbia, recover in full measure all and
more than they have sacrificed; until
France is adequately, secured against
aggression; until the rights Of the
small nations of Europe are based on
an unassailable;f foundation, and until
the military domination Of Prussia is
wholly and finally destroyed. = ,,I9

SALEM AND ST. HELENS
CLASH TOMORROW IN
THE INTER-CITY LEAGUE
Seberts viii Twirl for Salem
---Keene and Reinhart
Added to Lineup

Ade Sieberts will ascend the hillock
tomorrow when the umpire whispers
"Play Ball" aud Hauser crouches
down behind his pneumatic breastworks
and sings out ''Let's get the first
one" Roy Keene and Bill Reinhart
arrived in Salem last night at II O'Clock
and were given a regular welcome by
the baseball bugs Both Keene and
Reinhart will decorate Il Salem uniform
tomorrow in the game with st. Helens
in the InterCity league. Keene and
Reinhart are hard hitters and both are
IN excellent playing condition and will
fit into the Senatorial lineup in good
shape.
Reinhart played first base this year
in the east and Keene also first base
man as well as a heavist and their speed
and hitting will be a substantial boost
to the Salem stock. The double head
er that was first announced with st.
Helens has been called off and both
teams will put all Of their pepper into
one game.
The battery for the visitors has not
been announced but all of the Inter
City league teams have strengthened
their twirling staffs since the season
opened and Salem was particularly
fortunate in securing the services Of
Wayne Barham to get the jump on the
other teams while they were working
into shape. The loss of Barham was a
severe blow but the arrival of Keene
will brighten the chances in the box.
Gieberts who. will twirl tomorrow, was
the mainstay in the box for the Oregon
Agricultural college this season though
he is a regular infielder He has plenty
af speed and good control and has de-
veloped into reliable twirler.
The remainder Of the Salem lineup
will be the same as in previous games
The game viii be called at 3 O'Clock.

LaFOlette Seaman's Law
Proves Benefit to Own
erS and Men --Redfield

Washington, June l0.-Uncle Sam.
employment agent, is putting into real
effect, to the benefit of employers and
seamen alike, the new federal seamen 5
law, Secretary of Commerce Redfield
declared today.
Under the law, ships cannot put to
sea from an American port without the
requisite number of registered seamen
Objections were made to the law be-
cause it was claimed it would work a
hardship on trading vessel operators in
that they could not readily secure re-
gistered seamen in some ports, this diff.
ficulty tending to hold up their ship
ping.
''Here is a good illustration Of how
the scamen's law is operating" " Secre-
tary Rcdfield said. 1--WE received a
few days ago a telegram from the cap
tain of a schooner at Boothbay, Maine,
saying that he could not find the re-
.puired number of registered seamen at
the port, and asking for permission to
clear with what help he could employ.
1.-THE port officials had refused him
clearance because he did not have the
required quota of registered seamen.
The department immediately mott
fled the port officials to make an inves,
tigation, asked the department of labor
to notify through its representative at
Bath and other nearby ports any regis
tered seamen there and send them to
Boothbay, and gave assurance to the
captain that the government was look
ing out for HIM
" Within u remarkably short time a
sufficient number Of able seamen TO
man his vessel arrived at Boothbay. idle
men were given employment, and he
was able to sail with competent
crew"
" a similar case was cited at Jack.
sonville, Florida. A steamboat captain
appealed to the department for permis-
SION to sail with unregistered seamcn.
Within short time the department Of
labor s agent, by cooperation with the
department of commerce placed at tbo
disposal Of the captain q sufficient crew
Of ableseamen.
Frequently the department has found
captains Of vesselus lacking in dill
Sence in their efforts to live up to the
requirements Of law, and such captains
are under the suspicious eyes of watch
ful agents Of the department. the see,
retary said.
