Post Road Established
MT. Angel -WOOdbarn

Mt. Angel, Or, Dec. Through
the determined efforts of the Mt. An
gel Commercial club and cooperation
of the Woodburn Retail Merchant IS as
sociation the establishing of the road
between this place, and Woodburn as a
"Post Road" with prospects of hav-
ing it extended to within l IL miles Of
Silverton, seems to be an assured fact.
Steps 1--we been taken by the County
Court of Marion county and apprOpria-
tions allowed toward improving this unit
Of road as soon as the state highway
commission shall decide to commence
work on this as fPost Road" With
the cunty appropriation toward grading
and draining, the liberal tax levies
recently voted in all of the road dis
tricts through which this portion OF
,the road extends, besides the state
and federal aid there is good prospect
of this road soon being of permanent
construction.

win save the revenue law from being
entirely rebuilt is that business would
be thrown off it's stride by too radical
action following legislation to which
it has not yet adjusted itself.
Representative Kitchin, chairman of
the house ways and means committee,
today definitely refused to endorse Me-
Adoo's program of financing 1918 and
1919 by bends alone. Kitchin declared
there must be tax legislation.
Senator Simmons, senate finance
committee chairman, said:
:" 1t is too carly to say whether we
can carry through this year and next
on bonds. -
Wealth conscriptionists in both
houses are maturing plans to demand
higher levies on war profits and more
drastic provisions to prevent evasions
Of the excess profits tax.
Evasion appears to me the only
cause for fear that the law viii not
produce much more than we had hoped
from it, said Simmons.
The effect of the revenue law on the
oil industry was cited by a congress-
man as an example Of conditions he
believes must be remedied. Com
plants are reaching the senate finance
committee, that the heavy tax upon oil
producers profits is interfering with
war output. Development work has
stopped, it is claimed, threatening to
deplete the country Is oil reserve stock.

When we got into the war, we com

''After that, we had to- explain to

Profit Bases of Contracts
Most of the artillery and rifle con-
tracts have been made on the basis of
cost plus certain percentages of profit
because manufacturers refused to take
contracts at a fixed price.
This was due to fluctuations in Ia
Dor and material costs, Crozier state1.

made at cost plus ten per cent"

that shrapnel was more important than

informed on this early enough in the
war so that we made our contracts for
more high explosive shells than shrap.

TO KEEP SKIN HEALTHY
YOUTHFUL, WRINKLELESS
x x K X x 4 4 < x 4 4 4 !

Now that the social season is here,
be especially careful to keep your skin
in fine condition. You know how con-
spicuous complexion defects appear un-
der the bright light of the drawing or
ball room. Also how very evident are
some makeups when similarly illumin-
atel. have myself discarded cosmet-
les entirely, using a process which
gives far better results, and which
leaves no trace on the skin. At night
/ smear on a thin coat of ordinary mer-
colized wax, washing it off next morn
ing. This gradually absorbs the devital-
lied particles of surface skin; just as
gradually the more youthful skin be-
meath comes forth providing a COM
plexion as clear, smooth and delicately
tinted as a young girls. Get an ounce
of mercolized wax at your druggist 5
and try this remarkable treatment.
Remember, too, that wrinkles, even
the finer lines, are not easily conceal
ed in a brilliantly lighted room. You
can quickly oblitcrate these hateful
marks by bathing your face in solu-
tion of powdered saxolite, one ounce,
dissolved in witch hazel, one half pint.
And your face won't look sticky, as
after using pastes.--Aunt Sarah in Wo-
man s Realm.
