1913. 1913 1857 FOUR GENERATIONS OF BISHOP FAMILY HOLD REUNION Expert Says Columbia Span Is Most Important Link in Pacific Coast Road. GREAT SAVING PREDICTED s OKEGONIAN, MONDAY, MAY Build Structure as Toll Proposition and Let States Take Charge and Abolish Fee Is Plan Sug gested by Samuel Hill. VANCOUVER. Wash.. May IS. (Spe cial.) "The building of the bridge be tn Vancouver and Portland I re- Cird as the most Important link In the Pacific Highway." said Samuel Hill president of the American Road Build ers" Association and known as "Father of Good Roads In Washington," when here last night. When asked whether he would favor a free or a toll bridge, Mr. Hill said "I would say that a bridge is a part of the highway. I do not believe in a state owning toll bridges or toll cul verts." However. Mr. Hill intimated that he was In favor of building the Pacific Highway bridge as a toll bridge, end then asking the two states to take the structure over and make of It a free bridge. Orcajoa Officials View Roads. Mr. Hill was en route to Maryhlll. Wash., where he accompanied Governor West. Secretary Olcott and State Treas urer Kay, of Oregon, over the 10 miles of the various kinds of roads he has built there, to demonstrate road-bulld-lnp. Continuing in his views on the Pa cific Highway bridge, Mr. Hill said: "The people as a whole do not real ize the tremendous Importance of this. They have been without it so long that they fail to realize what this coming link would be not between Vancouver and Portland alone, or between Wash ington and Oregon, but between British Columbia on the north and California and Mexico on the south. "The people of Clark County are en titled to the greatest possible credit for the interest, enthusiasm and Intelli gence with which they have approached this question. The bridge should be built as a toll bridge, and then the two states should take it over and make of It a free bridge. Large Areas to Benefit. "The country served by this bridge and by the Pacific Highway will be opened up and be among the most pro ductive orens In Oregon or Washington. "Out of Seattle and Tacomat are now operated motor trucks. Supplies are carried out to the farmers and produce of all kinds Is brought back and dis tributed to the door of the consumer. The distribution cost today is the rreatest tax on the consumer. We f:gwred out at the White River Grange, In King County, of which I am a mem ber, that in this 12-mile haul to Seat tle we save one-half cent per gallon on milk. "A road built Into this farming com munity pays for Itself every year In the saving to farmers alone, and saved an almost equal amount to the con sumers in the city.. V &x I LEFT TO RIGHT REV. W. R.

Bennett Lays Stress on Sunday Observance. HOMES SHOULD BE VISITED Multnomah County Sunday School Holds Its Annual Convention. Singing of Sunnyslde Method ist Church Is Feature. "Upon the home and the observance f the Sabbath ' depends the present Ivillzation of the world," declared the Rev. J. H. Bennett, in his address at in- opening of the Multnomah County unday School Association convention .tri.k ... ivi.j - ,v.. .m.uiinn '-'Uiiaay scnooi Association convenuun "VUth one-lh'rd ' the tpa" : yesterday In First Methodist Episcopal of Oregon In Portland that city soon thurcn ,.The duty of th8 church , will get top heavy. The line up the Columbia River on the Oregon side will be built this year and Eastern Oregon will be made tributary to Port land. The line of highway down the Willamette Valley should be hard-surfaced In order that the people may not be marooned on the farms during the Winter months. Tolls Are 'ot Favored. "About whether the Pacific Highway bridge to span the Columbia at Van couver should be a toll bridge or free bridge. I would say the bridge Is a part of a highway. I do not believe In a state's owning toll bridges or toll culverts. The old robber barons on the Rhine collected toll at every rocky promontory, but that time Is now passed." Mr. Hill Is highly enthusiastic about the future of the Pacific Northwest, and especially this region. With the building of the Pacific Highway bridge here and the extension of electric lines from Portland out through the country, even as far north as Tacoma and Seat tle, he says, more people will be In duced to return to the land and bew out homes from the forest and from the logged-off lands, which will be made fertile and highly productive. There Is enough land here now to support a population 100 times greater than It now has, and with the opening of the Panama Canal and the building of the Pacific Highway bridge, great progress Is in store for this country, and plans thonld be under way now to care for It when it comes, Mr. Hill said.

Bishop Scad ding will preside throughout the ses sion, i to see that Into every home la carried the idea of systematic family worship and Sabbath observance. If the civlllza tlon of the world Is to continue. Too much stress has been laid recently upon the Idea of rest upon the Sabbath. While It is a day of physical rest, it is fundamentally a day of- worship. The man who plays all through the day Is just as much a Sabbath-breaker as the man who plows all day." Church Attendance Vrged. Mr. Bennett urged that a campaign be begun this year by the Sunday school association to visit every home In the city and urge upon the people attendance at some church or Sunday school. The pastors of the churches in large cities, he said, cannot visit all of the homes, but it is possible for the Sunday schools to reach them alL The feature of the musical programme at the opening of the convention was the singing of the vested ehoir of the Sunnyside Methodist Episcopal Church, under the direction of Jasper Dean Mac Fall.

FAMILY SKELETON FILMED "In the Wake of a Brain Storm" Is Offering at People's. A skeleton In the family closet has been responsible for many a domestic tragedy, but none more graphic nor realistic than befell the husband In a photo-play at the People's Theater yes terday produced under the title of "In the Wake of a Brain Storm." A woman marries a man without revealing to him that she had a brother who had disgraced the family. The latter, after years of absence, returns redeemed. The husband mistakes him for his wife's clandestine admirer. The Jealous man plots a hideous revenge. When he be holds the almost lifeless form of his wife as a result of his criminal folly, he repents when It is almost too late. The plot Is interesting and the acting admirable. The "Great Harmony" and two Keystone comedies, with the Ad Club quartet and Mile. Inez Costello, a new mezzo, contributed to the enter tainment. Wednesday will bo Mabel Norman day at the People's The man agement will put on a Norman comedy and will give away pictorial souvenirs to patrons. More than 6000 people took advan tage yesterday of the Star's new policy of Summer prices. There was no les sening of the quality of the show, which consisted of three fine reels, a multiple attraction, a comedy, good piano and organ music and a lot of beautiful hana-colored slides of the world's noted beauty spots. The pro gramme will be changed Tuesday and Friday. An intermingling of pathos and com edy is seen in "The Old Sea Dog," a two-reel Bronco featured yesterday at the Arcade Theater. It told of an old sailor and a little boy and how an un feeling father tried to separate them. Two other good films, one 1000-foot comedy, and Cy Confer completed a performance which was well attended throughout the day.

A toothbrush drill and a lesson in the proper chewing of food are featured in the film, comedy situations enlivening the picture.

Rec ords show, however, that as far back as 1908 the Idea of a scientific baby show originated with Mrs. Frank De Garmo, of Shreveport, La., and in the Fall of that year she prepared a spe cial chart for the scientific examina tion of babies at the state fair, which was arranged to cover normal, physical and mental standards for different age groups, and the contestants or entries were graded accordingly. This scien tific contest was held In a "model home" which was erected on the fair grounds In connetcion with a "model school" through the effort and at the expense of the Louisiana state branch of the Congress of Mothers. Like many pioneer movements this, the first baby eugenic contest at a state fair, was In advance of the times and received lit tle publicity, but now the awakening has come, research Is being made, and a complete report will bB published in an early issue of the Woman's Home Companion, which Is devoting so much space and so many dollars to cash prizes for "better babies," giving Mrs. De Garmo and the State of Louisiana due but deferred credit. There is a probability that the 1915 convention of the National Congress of Mothers will be held in Portland, cele brating the tenth anniversary of the organization of state branches of Ore gon. Washington and Idaho by the Na tional president, Mrs. Frederick Schotf, who visited the Coast in 1905 for that purpose.

"" - - - Ara. i Alicrit Vi "Thirty-Six" (4 Cyl-, 36 h. p.) $1950 'Tirst-Class" That's How You Travel When You Ride in Chalmers Car Thousands and thousands of peo ple every day pay extra money to travel "first class" on ships and trains. "First class" means that you have the roomiest and, most comfortable berth, or that you ride in the strongest and smoothest running train. A "first class" ticket also means that every pre caution has been taken for your safe delivery at your destination. You travel "first class" when you ride in your Chalmers. You can buy a cheaper car than the Chalmers. But it won't have the features of comfort, beauty, convenience and mechanical excel lence which make the Chalmers "first class." The "first class" Chalmers has big, roomy bodies with Turkish cushions and 11-inch upholstery. It has extra large wheels and tires. It has a smooth running, powerful long stroke motor. It has a four- forward speed transmission with" ground gears of the finest steel. It has long, flexible springs. It has axles of nickel steel, and brakes twenty-five times as large in pro portion to weight as those of a loco motive. It has all controls centered on the cowl dash. It is fully equipped. These are the things you cannot get below the Chalmers price. These are the features which make the Chalmers "first class." You may "save" $300 to $500 on the original purchase price of your car. but you will lose many times that amount by missing the satisfactory service, the comfort, convenience, the pride of ownership, which you get in a Chalmers. It is a genuine quality car at a medium price. It costs less to travel in the "first class "Chalmers than in any other car approaching it in quality. H. L. Keats Auto Co., Burnside St. and Broadway.
