either murder. manslaughter or care
less shooting has been committed.
If any reasonable man would know
upon the facts and circumstances
presented, that death could not in
yolve any of these crimes, then there
is no justification for an investiga-
ton or autopsy by the medical ex-
an1iner. and if he presumes to act,
his bill should not be paid when pre-
sented-
This should not discourage medi-
cal examiners. They are officers OF
the State, performing an important
function. and must assume a proper
responsibility, exercise judgment
and. above all. act in good faith.
This is not more than is expected of
all public officials, and is no hard
ship on the efficient, faithful and
honest medical examiner but is as
intended, a check and safeguard
against the depredations upon the
county treasures Of INSCRIPTIONS,
money seeking men who hold the Of
fee.
IF medical examiner should de-
termine or the person finding or the
official taking charge should deter
mine that there was nothing to indi-
cate murder, manslaughter or care
less shooting, and no investigation or
autopsy should be held. nevertheless.
the attorney general or the county
attorney can intervene, and direct
the medical examiner to make an in.
vestigation and perform an autopsy.
The decision of the medical examiner
that no investigate is necessary is
not therefore final. but is subject to
the judgment and discretion of the
county attorney and attorney gen
eral and there is. therefore, no
chance of failure to make an in
vestigation if in fact it should prove
to be necessary"

MEDICAL EXAMINERS
AND THEIR DUTIES

Attorney General Guy H. Stureis
OF Portland in a communication sent
out Tuesday says that the act of the
last Legislature restricts the activi
ties of medical examiners and fur
nlshes a check upon the abuse of the
office as practised by some examiners
in the past, but it does not, however,
prevent or discourage medical ex-
aminers from acting in proper cases
and under proper circumstances.
Medical examiners have no au-
thority to act in their official capacity
unless they receive notice from a
person finding body or the official
taking charge thereof that such per-
son or official supposes that the de-
ceased came to his death by violence
or unlawful act, the committing of
which is murder. manslaughter or the
careless shooting of human being
while engaged in huntirg,"l says At

Furthermore, If the medical ex-
amlner. from the facts stated. and
information given. as reasonable
man, knows that the death does not
involve and cannot involve murder

he has no right to make the investi-
cation and autopsy.

He believes the Allies will receive no

The revolution which led to the de-

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkal, which is very injurious, as it
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil. for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats the most ex-
rensive soaps or anything else all to
pieces. You can get this at any drug
store. and few ounces will last the
whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub IL in. about a teaspoonful Is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cieanses thoroughly. and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly. and is soft, fresh looking,
bright. fluffy. wavy and easy to
handle. Besides. it loosens and takes
out every particle Of dust, dirt and
aandrutt.-Adv. .----
