Expert Says Columbia Span Is
Most Important Link in
Pacific Coast Road.
GREAT SAVING PREDICTED

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..

"Upon the home and the observance

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.

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

all of the homes, but it is possible for
the Sunday schools to reach them alL

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.
"The Big Boss." the Gaumont Weekly
and a Keystone comic were offered at
the Sunnyslde Theater. "As in a Look
ing Glass," a three-reel special, was
at the Tlvoli, and a clever show was
on at the Crystal, all on the .East Side,

Norwegians Raise $200 to Go To

The natal day celebration of the Nor
wegians at the White Temple last night
began with the singing of the Norwe
gian national air and ended with the
American National air. More than $200
was cleared by the entertainment, and
this fund will be the foundation of the
money to be sent from Portland to
Norway next year toward establishing
a centennial monument by American
ized Norwegians. The Norwegians in
the United States contemplate sending
$500,000 for this purpose.
Endre M. Cederbergh. Norwegian
VIce-Consul, opened the entertainment
with a few remarks, and the address
of the evening was a summary of the
history of Norway, since 1814. by the
Rev. Ellas GJerding. H. J. Langoe ex
plained what would be done with the
1500,000 to be raised for a memorial of
the Norwegian constitution. Bardi G.
Skulason praised the United States as
the adopted country, and told what
Norwegians bad accomplished for this
country since coming here, saying that
though they brought no large amount
of money, they had been pioneers In

motion of "better baby" shows. 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

'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.
