THE MORNING OREGONIAtf, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 1914. 13 OT ID" IS FUN Botarians Paddle Each Other "With Childlike Abandon." 'RECREATION DAY' ENJOYED tcrsoiml Demonstration of WorkTlia Playgrounds ot City Are Doing Given by Actual Example. Women Play Holes. Prominent business . men whooped Xvith delight a they watched their friends chuto the chutes or frolic with the medicine ball in the blue room of the Multnomah Hotel at the juncneon of the Rotary Club yesterday. They giggled like children as they walloped one another in a "slipper game," and nresldenta of Die concerns paddled prominent merchants with childlike abandon In modlned game or not hand." And the wives and sweethearts of these same prominent business men merrily danced and sang "Here We Go Round the Mulberry tiusn. lucaea their skirts about their ankles and squealed as they slid down the chute, or dragged the men into the circle to dance the folk dances that are popular in playgrounds of Portland. For yesterday was "Recreation day1 at the Rotary Club, and those who prepared the programme, deciding that one "learns to do by doing, aemon atrated the work that tbe playgrounds of the city are doing by actual ex ample. A huge hobby horse, a toy wagon, the chutes and other playthings were donated for the occasion by Meier &. Frank Company. The members of the club and the ladies threw themselves thoroughly into the spirit of the sport. Many came in costume of children, especially the women, who wore sunbonnets and had their hair braided down their backs. L. H. Weir, field secretary of the Playground and Recreation Association of America; L. R. Alderman, superin tendent of public schools, and Miss Elizabeth Woodbury were the speakers in the first part of the programme. Miss Woodbury read the "Pied Piper of Hamlin." Then Chairman R. W. Raymond declared a recess and Pro fessor Robert Krohn called all the "children" out to play. They were a bit slow at starting, but when a few had followed Mr. Krohn down the chutes and the basketball began, to fly from hand to hand, the play spirit came with a rush. "Please may we dance some folk dances?" asked Mr. Krohn, of Superin tendent Alderman. "I think I can let you do it this once," replied the superintendent. Professor Krohn became a member of the Rotary Club only yesterday, but his initiation into the club was suffi ciently strenuous, for throughout the "recess" ho was busy organizing new games and then in persuading the big boys to abandon them for something new. At the. beginning of the programme the members answered the rollcall by naming each his favorite form of recreation. tion will be held in the Central Chris tian Church, corner of East Salmon and East Twentieth streets, beginning Fri day night. Addresses will be given by Rev. F. W. . Emerson, president of the State Sunday School Association, upon "Evangelism" and by C. A. Phipps on the "Seven Sunday School Symptoms." The convention will continue three days, closing with a big meeting Sun day afternoon, when Dr. Delmer H. Trimble will speak upon "The Phil osophy of Thought"" and Mrs. E. C. Knapp on "A Child's Spiritual Growth." On Saturday there will be three ses sions. In the morning addresses will be given by Rev. J. H. Bennet. Mrs. S. W. Ormsby and Mrs. E. C. Knapp. At the afternoon session the Portland Graded Union will give a demonstra tion. In addition to this there will be conferences and addresses delivered by George T. Pratt and H. L. Sheldon. The girls' vested choir of Anabel Presby terian Church will sing at the convention. PREMIUM LIST DUE SOON Jlultnomali Fair Directors Arrange for Xext Exhibition. At the meeting of the directors of the Multnomah County Fair Associa tion Monday afternoon at Gresham it was decided to print the premium list in about two weeks. Special premiums of $250 are to be offered the schools of Portland and the county for vegeta bles, flowers and fruits. A special committee was appointed to elect O. M. Plummer as a director of the fair association, if he will accept the place. A special committee, of which H. A. Lewis, president of the fair associa tion, was made chairman, was au thorized to confer with the County Commissioners in regard to the pro posed exhibit at the State Fair. New superintendents named are: Horticulture, E. J. Jenne; milk test, R. P. Rasmussen; refreshments, F. H. Crane; agriculture, J. W. Townsend; floral, R. W. Gill; livestock, H. G.

AUDITORIUM SOON TO RISE Commission to Start Real Work on Market. EJock Site. In the absence of a suit to determine the right of the city to use the Market block as an auditorium site, the City Commission is planning to proceed with the construction. Commissioner Brew ster said yesterday that arrangements are being made for J. H. Freedlander, architect, to revise the plans for the building to cover one block instead of a block and a half, as planned orig inally. Preparations are being made for awarding contracts. Although it has been more than a week since the Commission finally se lected the Market block as a Bite, no one has come forward with an offer to bring suit to test title to the property. The Brayton Engineering Company is making an estimate of the cost of the building as planned by Architect Freedlander. As soon as this estimate is received, the Commission will know how much money is available. 10 OF 94 SCALES UNTRUE healer of Weights and Measures Re ports Results of Tests. Of 134 scales, weights and measures inspected and tested by County Sealer of Weights and Measures Tomasini. 120 were accurate, according to a re port submitted to the County Commis sioners yesterday. The tests made have teen confined to Linnton, St: Johns, Burlington and Holbrook. Because of demands made on his time by the Commissioners, Mr. Toma sini reported that he had been unable to mako any tests during January and February, but hopes to continue his tests this month and next until every scale, weight and measure in the county has been tested. The greatest inaccuracy was found, Mr. Tomasini reported, in the scales, where 84 of 94 inspected were true. Of L'3 weights tested 20 were accurate, and only one of 17 measures tested was inaccurate. CONVENTION OPENS FRIDAY Sunday School Workers' Meeting to Continue Three Days. The annual convention of the Mult nomah County Sunday School Associa- Bids by as many contractors as care to be heard, setting forth the nature of the hard-surface road they advocate and the cost of construction, were called for yesterday by the County Commissioners. The order of the board, as passed, called for bids for hard-surfacing the Base Line road from the city limits to the top of the hill west of the Sandy River, but the bids submitted will be considered in select ing material for all hard-surfacing to be done by the county. The Commissioners hope to have specifications submitted on every ma terial used in hard-surfacing' roads, including compositions of any nature, brick, wooden blocks and any other material. Along with the bids ana specifications, each contractor must advise the Commissioners for what period he will guarantee the road, in addition to the regular maintenance bond he would be required to give if he were awarded a contract. Maps of the assessment district for the Base Line road from the city limits to Ninety-second street to the Sandy River, the first unit of the Portland- Chanticleer road, have been completed by draughtsmen in Roadmaster Yeon's office, and it is probable that an order declaring it the intention of the Com missioners to hard-surface the road will be passed at an early date. Roadmaster Yeon left yesterday for Bridal Veil to complete arrangements for the installation of Camp No. 4, on I the Columbia River highway, which will be established at that point. Each of the four camps will employ about 100 men. Use ot Cruiser to Be Asked. A request is to be made to Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels by the Oregon Naval militia for the use of one of the United States cruisers for the annual cruise of the naval militia during the coming Summer. Adjutant General Finzer sent a telegram to Gov ernor West in Washington, D. C, yes terday asking him to confer with Sec retary Daniels on the subject.
