HEALTH NEEDS TOLO PEDESTRIANS ARE COUNTRY BOYS AND GIRLS, PRIZEWINNERS AT STATE FAIR. AFFECTED BY BILL Prohibition of Crossing Streets Except at Intersections Is Proposed Law. LOWER SPEED IS PROVIDED Ordinance Urged on Commission by Automobile Club and Other Or ganizations, Would End Diag onal Travel at Corners. Provisions la the proposed new trai nee ordinance pertaining? to the regu lation of pedestrian traffic at street In tersections probably will cause consid erable fuss when the measure, as pre pared by Deputy City Attorney Myers at the instigation of the automobile club and other organizations, comes before the City Commission for adop tion this week it is expected that several of the Improvement organiza tions will register protests against the measure, the question having been taken up in several parts of the city already. In addition to prohibiting pedestrians from crossing diagonally over street intersections or from crossing at any nlnco oxcentlner at regular -crossinKS, the measure subjects pedestrian traffic to the whistle of traffic policemen. When traffic is moving north and south over an intersection pedestrians will be prohibited from crossing In an op posite direction. Persons waiting for streetcars must stand on the sidewalk and not in the street. These are said to be the most objectionable features of the measure. Pedestrians) Mar Be Fined. At present vehicles and streetcars alone are subject to the traffic whis tles, pedestrians being permitted to cross an intersection in any direction at any time or place. A penalty Is provided In the new ordinance for any person who proceeds across a street in a direction opposite to that in which traffic Is moving. This, "of course, is only during the hours that traffic po licemen are on the corners, which means practically the rush hours . of the morning and evening. The speed limit under the new meas ure wiil be cut down from 25 to 20 miles an hour in the districts outside the limits of what Is known as the "congested district." This has been in creased in size until it takes in prac tically all of the business districts on both- sides of the Willamette. Commencing at Madison and Front streets, the new district on the West Side extends north to Hoyt, west to Tenth, south to Burnside, west to Washington, southwest on Washington to Chapman, south to Yamhill, east to Broadway, south to Jefferson, east to Front and north to the point of begin ning, taking In all territory within those bounds. In addition It takes In Washington street to Twenty-third. All Bridges la District. On the East Side the district takes in all the streets within the district bounded by Hawthorne avenue on the south. Grand avenue on the east, Hol- laday from Grand avenue to Larrabee and Broadway from Larrabee to the bridge on the north and the river on the west. All bridges are included In the district. In these districts the speed limit is IS miles an hour and all the provisions of the ordinance pertaining to vehicles and pedestrians are applicable. Out side the districts the speed limit is 20 miles an hour, as at present. Both "congested districts" are larger than the distrlots provided In the present ordinance, . Private 'ambulances are subject to the regulations the same as all other vehicles. Exemptions are made only for vehicles of the ore and police de partments and of mall wagons. Vehi cles are prohibited from standing with in 10 feet of a fire hydrant or a mail box. The present traffic ordinance was adopted by the City Council early last Spring after a long Investigation and considerable controversy among mem bers of the Council. At the time the ordinance originally waa Introduced a provision subjecting pedestrians to regulation was killed. BAHAI MOVEMENT IS TOPIC Charles Mason Remey Delivers Ad dress at Eilers Hall. Charles Mason Remey, of Washing ton. T. C, gave an address last night at Eilers Hall on "The Bahai Move ment." Mr. Remey Is well known throughout the country. With George O. Latimer, he has just returned from an extended visit to Hawaii. Two years ago Mr. Remey was in Portland and on that occasion made many friends here for himself and the movement In which he is interested. Mr. Remey gave an outline of the work and teachings of Baha'o'llah, termed "The Promised One." Baba'o' llah's son, Abdul-Baha, was in this country last year and created a stir in religious circles. In last nlghfs talk, Mr. Remey said that the Bahai movement is for the es tablishment of universal peace, religion and brotherhood a means of uniting science- and religion by making har mony between the material and the spiritual. He spoke of the Kingdom of God as a "condition of the souL" FIVE-HOUR WALK 29 MILES Dan O'JLeary and Companions Go to Oregon City and Return.

ADDITION MADE TO STAFF OF .'LOCAL- ASSOCIATIOX. Sirs. Tboroman Will Have Charge of Social Service Department .and. Knno E. Arne Takes . Place. ' The Increasing scope of activities of the Associated Charities of ', Portland has made necessary an increase in its official staff.' ; Mrs. Margaret Thbro man, who has served for the past year as assistant secretary, is . to become secretary of the Social Service De partment. ' The position of assistant secretary is to be filled by Runo E. Arne, ' of Boise. Idaho.' Mrs. Thoroman was for two years engaged In . children's work in the Episcopal Orphanage . of St. Louis. Later she was graduated from the Chicago School of Philanthropy, and became one of the district superin tendents of the Chicago United Char ities. From 1910 to 1912 she was assistant secretary of ' the Associated Charities of Jacksonville and: from that city she came to Portland to the Associated Charities In October, 1912. Mrs. Thoroman supervised the fresh air work recently carried on by the society and her advancement Is a rec ognition of her excellent work in that capacity during the past Summer. The present year has been the most successful In the history of the -Associated Charities and the support from the public has been more liberal than in any year since its founding in 1889. This generous popular support has made possible the contemplated exten sion in Its activities. Mr. Arne is a graduate of Grinnell College, class of 1908, and of the Chi cago School of Philanthropy. For two years he was ' superintendent of ' the Douglas County Detention. School . at Omaha, Neb. In 1910 he was engaged in "welfare work for the Burlington Railwayi at the car Bhops at Burling ton.

DANGER DECLARED GREAT Dr. Marcellns Says Present Depart ment Inadequate to Portland's Demands and Force Is Cneqnal to Tasks. In support of his requests for addi tional appropriations for the health department In 1914. City Health Officer Marcellus yesterday outlined nts rea sons, saving he desires to build up his department to such an extent that it will be able to cope with the disease and sanitation problems of the city and to care for emergencies such as epi demics, which, he says, are apt to arise in any large city at any time. "While the figures of the increase sound rather imposing," said Dr. Mar cellus, "yet It must be taken into con sideration that we have not had In the past, and have not now, a modern health department, although the re quirements of a city the size of Port land demand such an organization. To keep in close touch with the health conditions of Portland requires organ ization and Intelligent effort. Delay, or a crippled health department, may be the cause of a serious epidemic. "One of the items asked for is to provide laboratory equipment. 'We now have nothing for bacteriological work, except a vacant room where eauipmcnt ought to be. This imposes a serious handicap in the important work of checking up on foods and in fections. In cases of rabies it is nec essary to refer the cases to the State Health Department, which, rortunateiy, is located in Portland. "As to the additional working force, more men are imperative. In every branch of the health department work a shortage of help is now felt. Take the schools, of which there are 61, with only four men to Inspect them. Each school is inspected about once a month, when there should be an inspection once a week. "As to the matter of pure milk the Inspectors now at work are unable to meet the provisions of the ordinance requiring the testing of all cows for tuberculosis once each year. About once every three years Is as often as the two inspectors can complete the round. In the past three years some 19,600 cows have been thrown out for tuberculosis. "At the presenttlme there is no in spection at slaughter houses. There is nothing to prevent slaughter houses from serving meat from diseased car casses. "Portland has outgrown Its health department It Is behind every other city of its class in . that respect. For some reason this fact has been over looked or neglected in the past, which explains the larger Requests for funds in the present budget, i do not reel that the safeguarding of health and sanitation in a great city Is the proper subject for petty crimping or false economy."

MOVIES ' DEPICT ROUNDUP Daring: Feats of Reckless Cowboys and Cowgirls Thrilling. "Let 'er buck!" If you would know the true significance of this expres sion, go to the Heillg and see the mo tion pictures of the Roundup at Pen dleton. These wonderful reproduc tions of this year s monstrous show will -be presented for three days more. To those who have never attenoea the Roundup they are a revelation; for those who have seen It they are dou bly enjoyable, for they bring back every thrilling moment vividly. There Is a wlldness, a ireecom in the bucking ponies and their daring riders that Is distinctively Western. The steer-roping contests are exciting. showing the mad determination or trie animal to remain unfettered and the final mastery of the cowboy. The Ro man standing races done by cowboys and cowgirls send thrills through the onlooker. The cowboys' "drunken" Tide and the trick and fancy riding of both men and girls, the cowgirls' bucking con test and the relay races all have fea tures, that, will cause the world to gasp: The Indians from the Umatilla, Wal la Walla and Cayuse reservations also have a large share in the glory of the Roundup.

REFERENDUM IS ASSAILED Rev. Delmer H. Trimble Pleads lor University in Sermon. The referendum against the. appro priation for the University of Oregon was assailed and the congregation -of the Centenary Methodist Church was urged to support tne state. Institution in the coming election, by their pas tor, the Rev. Delmer H. Trimble, In his sermon last night. "The referendum movement has been led." he said, "by H. J. Parkison, sec retary of the Oregon Higher Educa tional Institutions Betterment League, presumably In the lntterests of higher education, but really to sound out the electorate of the state as to the sen timent toward the university. His ultimate object. If the appropriation is defeated. Is to bring a measure before the people to unite the State Univer sity and the Agricultural College where and when? "This procedure Is interminable and the history of education In other states has shown it to be unwise. That there is neither merit, logic nor Justice In Mr. Parklson's purpose Is shown by the fact that he has submitted no argument in the pamphlet on meas ures provided the voters by the secre tary of state. "The Board of Higher Curricula reg ulates unnecessary duplication of work at Corvallis and Eugene. The present organization of the two schools lends Itself well to plans of co-operation. Being 40 miles apart and connected by electric road lecturers and. If need be, students can be interchanged." DR. HINSON SPEAKS TO MEN West Is Easy Place to Iose One's Religion Is His Comment.

Hinson, pastor of the White Temple, In a talk before the men of the Y. M. C. A yesterday afternoon.
