CHICAGO CAR STRIKE TO
BREAK SATURDAY, BELIEF
VOLUNTEERS ASKED TO
GIVE SKIN TO RELIEVE
AGONY OF LITTLE GIRL

There is little ll-year-oid girl ly-
ing at the willamette Sanitorium who
was most severely burned and, as u
result, has lost almost all the skin on
both arms, on her right side and on her
right thigh. Unless there are some
young folks and others who viii give
an ieh or so Of skim it will be monsss
and months before the girl will be able
to be removed from the hospital.
Her name is Erma King. On July 2,
while camping out berry picking about
20 miles east Of Salem, she WIS helping
prepare the dinner when the pipe Of the
camp stove blew down and her dress
caught fire. As she ran, the flames com
pletely enveloped the child. A son Of
Mr.. fung who was near attempted ~
smother the flames by wrapping her In
blanket but before the fire was en-.
tirely out, the girl was severely burned.
Now in the cause of humanity, there
is a call for those who will contribute
little skin for the suffering girl. 1t
can be taken from any part of the body
and can be made painless. After one
has given the skin, the spot from which
1t has been reAloved can be antiseptieal-
ly dressed and it will heal within q
week.
Those who are willing TO aid the little
| girl are asked 10 telephone the william.

member Of the economic commission
of the peace conference, told the SEN

But the real significance Of today 5

of many senators, is that it sweeps
aside the senate's traditional policy of

guarded. No European chancellory took
greater pains TO keep its state secrets
than did the senate.
Open Session-No Leaks
Now, without debate, without q dis.
senting voice, simply by common con
sent, this custom has been abandoned.
Open consideration of the treaty in

The reason for the open sessions,
well informed members of the foreign
relations committee said today, is bas-
ed on the knowledge that secrecy ere.
ates "leaks;" that the way to insure
both the opponents and advocates of
tho treaty against distortion of their
views, as expressed in committee OF
the senate, is to open the doors and al.
dow the public to get the views of
both sides at first hand.
Indemnities Discussed
No final decision has vet been
reached on whether the United States

MUNICIPAL DOCK FOR
SALEM TALKED AGAIN
Possibility Of Securing River
Steamers Opens Old
Proposition.

Now that the city owns the river
front at Court street extending north
to the big bridge, there is a faint pros
peet that il may again become inter
ested in a municipal dock, especially
as Captain A. b. Graham has written
the Commercial club calling attention
to the fact that an opportunity is Of
fered of buying the steamers Graha-
mona, Pomona or Oregona.
Tho municipal dock proposition s
an old one in Salem. During the al.
ministration of Louis llachmund as
mayor, the question was agitated, but
no action was taken. Again when Har.
ley o. White was mayor, there was
talk Of municipal dock, but no pro
vision was ever made i'm budget.
The question came up again while
Walter +. Kcyes was mayor when the
Oregon City Transportation company
pulled off its steamer service on the
river. But again no action was taken,
although Salem and the country north
had no river service.
A few months ago a private com'
pany put on the Pomona between Sa.
lem and Portland but due to the time
of year and not a sufficient amount Of
freight going from Salem to Portland,
the boat was pulled off, notwithstand
ing the great advantage il was to 5a-
lem merchants.
The letter written 10 the Commercial
club by Captain Graham is as follows:
Your city and the valley towns
have been without river transportation
for some fourteen months and now
with the largest crop the Willamette
valley has had in a good many years
what special provision If any has been
made to handle this bumper cropi
In former years the whole valley
has suffered for the lack of adequate
transportation. l believe that now is
the time that the citizens of Salem
should get busy and protect Themselves
by having a boat line of their own
You can no longer depend on the Ore
gon City Transportation company foi
ii has gone out Of business absolutely
Here is a chance 10 buy one, two
or three Of its steamers, the Graha
mona, Pomona or Oregona. These boati
were built especially for the william
cite river trade and the only boats II
Portland built especially for shallow
water. The whole plant can be had fol
less than the cost Of building any sin
