Red Cross to
Move to New
Quarters Soon

Orders from the treasury depart
ment of the government have
forced the willamette chapter Of
the Red Cross to move to new
quarters located by the Methodist
parsonage on State street. Through
pressure, brought by Oregon con-
gressmen, the time for removal was
extended thirty days. Within the
next ten days, however, the chap
ter hopes to be fully settled in its
new location, according to an an
nouncement made by II. w. Myers
The new quarters will be the
health center of the organization 3
activities throughout the county. A
rest room is planned, and literature
on all subjects pertaining to better
health will be obtainable. II is also
planned that the welfare work will
be greatly extended by the move.

Fashions once Went
Up 0rDo7cn;: NO70 Go
Both Ways, Is CLAIM

Cincinnati, o., Mar. 18. - The
fashions of American women are
"colossally indecent and a vast ma
tion-wide joke" according to. the
Rev. Aaron l.. Watkins, 1920 can
didate for president on the pro-
hibition ticket and pastor of the
Linwood Methodist church here.
Men on our streets should not
be compelled to watch a mass Of
women who wiggle because their
clothes won't let them do anything
else," said the clergyman.
"The question often has been
asked: What is immodesty? Inn
modestY is anything that is intend
ed to be immodest. You can go
out on the street any warm day
and see women walking around
haif-dressed.
Partial concealment by wo-
man of her charms is more demor-
alizing than complete revelation.
Fashions used either to go up or
down, but now they go both ways
at once.
1T is said a man should be able
to walk through an art gallery
without being stirred to evil
thoughts. But the women he sees
on our streets are not statues,
though most of them are painted.
The speaker condemned tn
dual standard OF morality" say
ing women are responsible for it.
mo man will be better in his mo-
rails than woman demands him to
be-" he said. why should a Wo-
man condone in her brother OF
sweetheart the things she woult
condemn in her sister,"

Death Penalty Fails To
Reduced Crime; Records
Show Murders Gaining
BY Thomas wrgIey.

Ossining, Mar. 1S.-One hun
dred and eighty have gone the way
Of 'the chair" in Sing Sing prison.
Last year seventeen walked the
march of death through the little
green door" In the first two
months of this year, three more
have paid the extreme penalty, and
March was ushered in with an
other electrocution.
With the announcement Of these
figures, given in an interview to
The International News Service re-
Gently, Warden Lewis E. Lawes
stated that fear of electrocution no
longer exists in the criminal mind.
''Electrocution as at present car
ried out does not keep down the
number of murders" he said in
discussing the recent crime wave
which has swept the country and
has been attended by many wan
ton killings.
The list of murders has grown
appallingly all over the country.
Most of them have been commit
ted, not for some great or fancied
wrong. but in connection with
hold-ups and petty robberies, the
taking of life literally for a song.
Warden Lawes stated that possi-
bly, this is due to an after-the-war
condition. Certain it is that life is
held cheaply now and to many OF
criminal instincts life is a cheap
gamble and the electric chair is
no longer a specter to deter them
from capital crimes.
Odds With Murderer.
.'The odds are all with the MUIR
derer in this gamble" said Warden
Lawes. THE percentage of those
actually executed is so small COM
pared to the number of murders
committed that capital punish
ment fails as a deterrent.
Here is another astounding
fact" said Warden Lawes. The
majority of men who now occupy
the death house have not been pre-
viously confined in prison" Life,
indeed, has become a cheap gam
BILE,
In fact, there now exists sp1r-
1t of bravado such as never be-
fore has been manifest. A typical
instance of this was shown not so
long ago when five condemned
men were put to death at Sing Sing
In a space of little over an hour,
passing one after the other into
the death chamber.
"Give her the gas-turn on the
Juice" said one of the men as he
was strapped into the chair.

Eddie Anderson will tackle Kausler
of Bridgeport this evening on Rogers
Recreation alleys in the first meeting
of the pair this season in the Connecti-
cut duckpin tourney. Coming to this
city few days ago. Kausler created il
fine impression by his exhibition against

when he bowled q to 5 series with
Macs entry in the tourney.
While Anderson has not been coming
UP to the expectations of his many
rooters in this city so far this season,
there is a confidence that he will soon
get going, and when he does he will
again prove to be a sensation in the
league.
Andy's work has been featured by
some pretty tough breaks in past
games. He is up with the leaders in
high average, although he occupies the
14th position in the championship pur-
suit.
The fans are setting themselves for
the first appearance of the season in
