RICHARDSON BILL IS
OPPOSED IN COUNCIL
Aldermen Are In Favor OF
Fight Against Bin---Mat-
ron Troubles.

Troubles of police matron and the
proposed Richardson bill occupied the
greater part of the time of the city
fathers at the session held last even
ing. Eight aldermen were present giv-
ing the required majority to do bust
ness.
The police matron discussion was
started when Mrs. S. j. Dorsey official
ly presented her resignation basing her
reason for quitting on the grounds that
when oil members Of the police force
were being given an advance in pay
the council failed to do anything for the
police matron. Her resignation was ac
cepted.
Mayor Keyes was Of the opinion that
the city should have police matron
and that one should be elected. Frank
Ward said that as chairman of the po
lice committee, the police matron ques
tion had brought him lot of grief
and that he was not quite sure whether
the city needed a police matron. Il
there was one elected, he thought she
would cooperate with the police an(
not serve mostly at the Oregon Elec
tric station. Alderman McClelland
thought Mrs Dorsey did not get a
square deal and that she should have
have raise in salary. Frank Ward
thought a police matron should give
attention to keeping young girls from
public dances and also keep them off
the streets 1t was finally agreed that
the committee on police and health
should fill the vacancy cooperating
with the mayor and chief of police.
AS the council was about to adjourn
Alderman West called attention to the
Richardson bill and the activities Of the
council in fighting the bill He. thought
the counciimen should refrain from
taking any part either for or against
the bill although he did not say how
he personally stood ON the matter. Otto
j. Wilson, Frank Ward, w. I. Buck
ner and N. d. Elliott were most EN-
phatic in declaring that it was part Of
the alderman 5 business to look after
the city's interest in fighting the pro-
posed amendment to the city charter
whereby the city should pay more than
million dollars for all paving done
since 1905.
When it came TO vote, seven Of the
aldermen present were in favor Of
fighting the bin and one was
against. 1t was stated in the discus
sion that the city had 80 miles of pay
ing and that rs miles Of the city were
Iunpaved and should the bill pass, pro.
perty abutting on the 75 miles of un-
paved street would partly pay for the
portion already paved. Also that should
the bill pass, taxes in the city would
be about doubled. Alderman Elliott
moved that the argument against the
Richardson bin should be printed in
the pamphlet and the motion was car
| ried
In the discussion, the assertion wai
made that those opposed to the bill
were playing up to the church people
but the opinion seemed to be that the
church people were deeply interested
in the bill even more than a lot Of
lofhpr folks

War curbs Suicide.

Sir Bernard MulIet, registrar gen.
eral of the British empire, announced
recently that suicide had fallen off
strikingly in England since the begin
ming of the war. The explanation Is
that the national unity of feeling, the
subordination Of self and the sharing
of sympathy on all sides makes the in
dividuals personal injuries less Inn
portant and induces him to forget his
own desperation. Personal indulgences
and excuses of immortality, causes of
insanity and melancholia, are curbed
and minimized naturally by the econ
omies enforced upon the populace.
Discipline in eating, dressing, working
has also beneficial effect In keeping
the mind sane and free from morbid
broodings.

GIVE CLEAN NEST MATERIAL
Hay, Straw, Excelsior, Leaves, Etc.,
Should Be Changed Often to
Prevent Disease.

The nest materials, such as hay.
straw, excelsior, leaves, ETC., should
be changed occasionally as foul ma
terial is a good breeding place for
germs Of diseases. Insects are also
likely to harbor in the old nests II the
materials are not changed from time
to time.
At this season Of the year attention
should be given to cleanliness All
rubbish such as old nest materials
should be burned or carefully fumi-
gated and thrown In the manure heap.
The nest should be renewed with
clean, sanitary materials. Those who
do not think 1t makes much difference
to hens are badly mistaken. Hens
are not likely to stay in foul unsani-
tary nests and often "steal their nest"
off where 1t is hard to find.
At this season Of the year the great
est care should be taken to clean up
and spray against insects and dis
eases. If care is taken now little dan.
ger will be met. But precautions
should be taken now If the fowls are
to have q chance.

Antiquity Of Jerusalem.

1Eae wonderful antiquity of Jerusa-
lem has only been appreciated In re-
cent years. Up to so years ago, OBJ
serves the Chicago Examiner, it was
thought that Jerusalem was of little
Importance as a city until 1t became
the Getty Of David" king Of Israel.
But with the discovery Of the Tel-el-
Amarna tablets in Egypt new light
was shed upon the history of the sa-
cred city. There were found six letters
written by the king of Jerusalem to
the Pharaoh of Egypt, dating from the
fifteenth century B. G. The name of
this king of Jerusalem was Abd-hiba,
or, as some scholars read the cunei-
form, Abd-sadak, and he writes to the
Pharaoh beseeching him to send SOL
diers, almost as the Turks must have
sent messages to Germany asking for
re-enforcements that they might save
the day.

Church Gives Every Man.

There is q little French church In
the heart of Philadelphia which has
given and given to the great world
strife, ever since the war began, life
blood and widows mites, and in the
face of poverty Is still giving, giving,
according to Philadelphia correspond
ent.
Not one man between seventeen and
fifty years old remains In the member

All are at the front, some are with
the French army, some are with the
United States forces, but oil have gone.
All are fighting for the same great
world ideal.
They have left mothers. wives and
little ones who do not complain, but
give to the last penny, not only for
those they love, but for the relief Of
all suffering.
Nearly all of them are working peo-
pie, but, In addition to the struggle
for bread and ruttsr. they have found
the way to adoI ind support four or
phans in France. In addition to the
incessant knitting and sewing for the
little war orphans here these brave
women have also found time to make
and send countless wooden comforts
and relief supplies to the war victims
in France and Belgium, the orphans
and the wounded. They also subscribed
to the starving Armenians.

made. Quite a number proved salts

desiring information of this kind
should not address the United States

USED STRING TO STIR ANGER
Irvine Swung in Air, London Busman
Explained Indicated Other Cab
by's Brother Was Hanged.

The conversation turned on the
wonderful pungency and power Of in
vective of the old-time London cabby

cabby and his horse had passed away.
The horse-drawn omnibus was no

was seated beside one of these old
time drivers going through a street
crowded with vehicles when bus
coming from the opposite direction
was in collision with our bus. The
wheels of the two locked and then the
highly ornate invective between the
two drivers began. 1t was the perfect
flower, yes, the full fruitage thought
of profanity and abuse.
"'But I was mistaken. There was
more and worse to come. When the
wheels had become unlocked and we
were slowly moving away, my friend,
the driver, drew from his pocket bit
Of string and holding it above his
head swung it slowly to and fro.
"'The other driver at once jumped
down from his bus and, whip IL hand,
struck ut the string The wealth
of epithet he then used showed that all
that had preceded 1t was as mild and
kindly as the softest baby chatter. Our
driver answered not word, but as he
drove slowly on continued the string
shaking.
az wondered what there could be in
this simple bit of dumb-show to make
the other busman so frantically angry.
Then my driver gave the explanation:
