An account of the splendid work of the association In caring for the needy tick in Portland, a work carried on by the organization, even though han dicapped through the lack of funds. vsih given by A. J.,. Mills. During the epidemic of influenza which has been Paging in Portland during the last three months, Mr. Mills said that not one call to the nurses had gone unanswered, Jior hiid one case handled by the or ganization been neglected. Women Kik Lives. "These blue clad angels of mercy, who, without a murmur of complaint, i.re constantly, day after day, working iimong the people of our city who have not the means of securing proper at tention, are worthy of our support,-' he declared. "We willingly rallied to the support of the brave nurses who "worked on the battlefields of France and just as willingly should we sup port these women who are risking their iives working among people af flicted with contagious diseases in Portland." A fund of at least $20,000 for the Visiting Nurse Association, to be placed in the hands of a trustee and used as needed, is the plan now being carried into action by the Ad Club committee, according to Mr. Mills. Complete detail of one day's work of H nurse employed by the Visiting Nurse Association during the present emer gency by Miss Marlon Crowe, superin 'tendjint of the organization, revealed that aid and attention are given to a large number of families daily. In i tome instances the call. are to homes . where the entire family is stricken with influenza and in these cases suit able persons are provided to give care required. Preventive Measures Taught. In other cases it is where individual members are afflicted with the disease, and in such cases not only is attention given to the patient, but in addition well members of the family are taught preventive measures to afford im munity, from the disease. Many per sons suffering from diseases of long standing are attended, although the luck of funds has made it impossible to expand the force and also impos sible to give the attention desired to uch cases during the present emer gency.

Alex Lindsey, of lone. Or., who was a visitor in Portland last week, be lieves he. has found a doctor who can cure influenza patients. The secret of the remedy, he says, is to keep the patient from bathing. .Mr. Lindsay's physician is Dr. Chick, of lone and Heppner. who has handled i. nd cured most of the people stricken "with influenza in those two places. Only two of his patients died and those two, according to Mr. Lindsay, bathed, con trary to Dr. Chick's orders. None of the patients who was cured bathed. Dr. Chick's theory is that many of the ieaths from Influenza are caused by doctors' orders to take hot baths. BOND MARKET REGULATED Treasury Makes Purcliuses to Keep 24 ice Nearer Par.

BUTTER SEEKING MARKET Groeer.vinen Urged to Feature Ore Eon's Dairy Product. As a result of the state convention of Oregon dairymen, held last week in Hillsboro, grocerymen In Hlllsboro. Forest Grove and Tillamook and other localities in which dairying is a lead ing industry, are being "urgently re quested" to feature butter and not the so-called substitutes. A committee from the Oregon Dairymen's Association has been delegated to call on all the deal ers in these localities. M. S. Schrock, secretary of the Ore gon Dairyman's League, is co-operating with the association members In en couraging the use of butter. The Ore gon Dairy Council, the central bureau for all the dairy interests, is lending its aid by spreading information re garding the food value of milk and all dairy products. .Mr. Schrock reported to the council yesterday that great progress is being made and that a great demand for dairy products is being noticed. "The necessity of gb'Ing mill butter to 'f lu' Tiatients ilk and good fresh is being empha sized." said Mr. Schrock. RECEIVER'S ORDER OPPOSED Public Service Rody Doer.

COURT IS ADVOCATED Probate Judge Has Little Time for Other Work. DENVER COURT IS MODEL Juvenile Problem Has Grown Witli the Pitft Few Year- and I Constantly Increasing. When a judge spends a uood part of 13 months in hearing; one legal matter the Paling- will case, for Instance and has the usual run of probate court matters to attend to in addition, Junt what portion of his lime can be de voted to the very important problems which face the authorities dealing with juveniles? "Small, indeed." is the answer, an answer given by County Judge Tax well, who as County and. Juvenile Judge is faced with Just that problem. Perhaps the answer came reluctantly, perhaps rrot. The fact remains that Judge Tazwell does not desire to be quoted as favoring or as not favoring the bill for the establishment of a Court of Domestic Relations. Introduced in Salem by Senator Hutlon. The rea son, from all surface indications. Is no reflection against the merit of the bill. Munition Clearly Seen. Several years ago in fact, shortly after Judge Taxwell's accession to his present post the Judge saw the situa tion clearly and advocated the change of the Juvenile Court into a Court of Domestic Relations. Again, last Spring. Judge Tazwell spoke to the City Fed eration of Women's Clufes. and Is quoted as saying" at that time that the solu tion of difficulties then arising" was a court similar to that now proposed. Miss Harriet Thayer, president of the Portland Grade Teachers' Association, which fostered the bill before the Leg islature, explained yesterday why Judge Tazwell was now on the fence. 'After the bill was framed, " she said. Judge Tazwell admitted that he could not sponsor the bill or such a pro posal until his term of office was up He felt that the success of the bill would make it appear to the general public that his political power was waning." Domestic Relations ( onrl Needed. Supporters of the Huston bill assert that a cursory investigation of mat ters as they now stand is sufficient fo establish the need of a Court of Domes tic Relations, patterned, as is the one proposed, on the famous Juvenile Court of Denver. At the present time deputies whose salaries range from $100 to S150 a month act with a great deal of Inde pendence in matters pertaining" to ju veniles and call upon Judge Tazwell only when an affair imperatively de mands his attention. This situation can not be helped so long as the Juvenile Court Judge is burdened with the pro bate matters of a county the size of Multnomah. What the bill proposes is to relieve the County Judge from the many de mands of the Juvenile Court and to place all such matters before a Judge who shall give them his undivided at tention. This Judge would be paid the same as a Circuit Court Judge $4000 a year but he would be in charge of a court which now spends about $100,000 year, and it Is figurecl tnat Ills per- .-onal direction ot allatrs would save he county his salary and more. Lawyer ot eceamary. This Judge would not of necessity be a lawyer. "One purpose of the bill as It is ramed," said Miss Thayer yesterday. 'Is to permit the appointment of a mnu whose sympathies and experience with oung tolk would make him an Ideal arbiter, irrespective of his knowledge of law. in other words, he would not have to be a lawyer. He might be. .robably would be, but it would not be essential." The child welfare committee of the feachers' Association, of which Miss Julia A. Spooner is chairman, has been ery active in the support of the bill. which had its inception there a year ago. The measure has suffered a slight but unavoidable change from the origi nal idea of the committee. it was intended that the Domestic Relations Court would be patterned after the court of that name In Chicago. Which heard all divorce cases and all attempts to prevent divorces, as well as wife and child desertion, delinquency and dependency of minors, violation of child labor laws. etc. That court was established in 1311 and was followed n 1914 by Columbus. Ohio, with a verv similar court, which idea later spread o Cleveland. Jersey City. Philadelphia and New York. But the mothers of the bill in Oregon, while hoping for Its eventual jurisdiction similar to that of he court In Chicago, now fear that the nam "Court of Domestic Relations" Is a slight misnomer for the reason that the judge presiding cannot handle di vorce cases. (.rest Importance Pointed Oat. Originally it was planned that the judge would either hear the divorce cases himself or would sit in at the hearings in the Circuit t'ourt In an advisory capacity. This being denied him, the court Is more directly compar able with Judge Ben Llndsey's noted Juvenile Court in Denver, says Miss Thayer. "we feel very strongly the need ot this court," asserted Miss Thayer, yes terday, speaking for the Grade Teach ers' Association. "It would be of vital importance. If a judge had more time to Invest In the work, serious cases could be cured before they haDDcned. The court would aim at correction in the home, particularly. A child would seldom be brought before the court for stealing. Instead, the father of that child would be summoned and would be given to understand the responsi bility of a parent whose child goes astray and every possible effort would oe made to work through the delin quent's home before the last resort, detention of the child, would be reached." George A. Thacher, criminologist, has made a long study of juvenile delin quency and Is of the firm belief that a Court of Domestic Relations would greatly strengthen the Judicial struc ture of Multnomah County. Further, it would be a businefcs-like arrange ment and would reduce expenses he believes. Juvenile Problem Grow. The Juvenile problem has grown with the past few years and Is constantly increasing as new factors are develop Ins in SOQtal life. The automobile and the motorcycle are two things which have been found ty Investigators to contribute largely to delinquency among girls. There are many phases of tho juvenile quettion which should not. It is generally agreed, be handled in any way except with the utmost efficiency, knowledge and sympathy being brousht to bear. That that ran be done ja a better way In a court such as is proposed Is the conviction among workers along social lines, as can be seen by the unqualified indorsement of civic organizations. Among them may be named: Orcsoa Federation of Women's Clubs (ei- ecutlve board). Oregon Congresa of Moth era. State Teachers' Association Council. Oregon Civic League. Women's Legislative Council of Oregon. City federation of Wom en's Clubs iJ rluba). Portland Parent Teacher Council (43 circles). Portland Coun cil of Jewish Women. Catholic Woman's League, Women's Clubs of the First Pres byterian Church (three). The Consumers' League. Portland Woman's Club, Social Workers' Club. Harmony Public Improve ment Society. The Overlook flub. Portland Grade Teachers' Association. Portland High School Woman's Club, Oregon Social Service League. BELGIUM IN NEED OF FOOD Corree at $5 a Pound Is Sample or Prlcs at Brussels. BRUSSELS. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Conditions here and elsewhere in Belgium generally are very hard. The prices of food have reached a distressing height. Coffee costs the equivalent of about $S a pound: meat and butter. $2.60: sugar. S-c; eggs. 40c each. Men's suits of poor quality cost from $100 to $120. Men's shoes are about the same as clothing. A moderate meal in a restaurant costs the equiva lent of about $5. The streets of Brussels are filled with promenading crowds from morning to night because scarcely anybody does any arork. The shops, many of which indeed are closed, sell next to nothing for two reasons: In the first place, be cause they have very little to sell and. secondly, because the prices are so high that the public cannot possibly afford to pay them. The people have been very much disappointed about prices. They atways hoped that as soon as the war was over and the armistice was signed the necessaries of life would be procurable at normal prices. Their anticipation has been far from being realised. In fact, people have to pay nowadays quite as much as when the Germans were in Brussels. The number of places of amusement, dancing houses and the like has in creased to a great extent. Another grave economic difficulty arises out of what is called the un employment fund. This was created during the war to aid workmen, em ployes and others to enable them to subsist without having to be depend ent upon the Germans. In the first instance this fund worked advan tageously out after a while a different state of things arose. A workman who was being fed gratuitously by the re lief organisations received from the un employment fund regular pay of about 100 francs a month for doing nothing and numbers of these workmen, well content with their lot. refuse to return to work. The railways, telephones and tele graphs In Belgium have been for prac tical purposes destroyed. The Belgians are doing their best to restore them but It will take a long time before the ante bellum condition is re-established. Out of pure mischief the Germans destroyed all that they could. For instance, the rails on the line between Adenkerke to Bruges and Ghent were cut into pieces three or four yards in length and this was done in the most systematic man ner, a special machine being brought up to sever the rails one by one. The line is now being gradually restored but one can still see the short lengths of rail ranged in heaps along the track. Communication between one town and another is most difficult. In places where the lines are to some extent, but only temporarily, re-established one or two trains are run In the day but they go very slowly. taking many- hours over Journeys which formerly lasted from half an hour to an hour. Until the communication routes are re stored the re-provisioning of Belgium will be very difficult and prices cannot go down. PORT OF NOME REPORTS Business Not Far Behind Tliat of Other Yem- XOMK, Alaska. Business transacted by the port of Nome for the year in 18 was not far behind other, years, accord ing to the report of the Collector of , ... ,i,nlte the war and diffi culties of a poor season.
