Mid-Summer Election to Be Held to Fill Vacancies Caused by Ex piration of Two Terms. Early in the season for school can didates, but hustled forward at the insistence of various women's organi zations of the city, Frank L. Schull, manager of the Globe Grain &. Milling company, has announced his candi dacy for the post of school director at the mid-summer school election. Two vacancies in the board will be caused by the expiration of the terms of Directors Plummer and Sommer. Some weeks ago local clubwomen. notably members of the Portland Woman's club, sought Mr. Schull and informed him that he was under con sideration as' their candidate. They have since made exhaustive inquiry of many prominent citizens and taxpay ers, with the result that Mr. Schull has been informed that he has their indorsement. Other women's organi zations are said to have assured him support. Mr. Schull never has held public office. 'My platform is simple," said Mr. Schull yesterday, "and there isn't a pre-election promise in it. I believe that the schools are a business propo sition and that their afairs should be administered by men of business abil ity and training. I believe that the millions of dollars that are expended for public school systems should be handled as the successful, conserva tive business man would handle his own affairs -not overlooking the de mands of progress, but . yielding no single point to fads or extravagance. "I may say, as an illuminating prin ciple, that the millage measure for elementary schools on the ballot of the coming election, as well as other educational proposals of sound merit. have my hearty support and represent the sort of educational reform through progress that is demanded by the times." Mr. Schull was for many years sales manager of the Portland Flouring mills and assumed his present position with the Globe Grain & Milling com pany three years ago. He has been a resident of Portland for 18 years and has three children one about to enter the primary grades, one in grammar school and one attending high school. rators include Oscar Kilborn, Peter Iverson and O.

FOR USE OF AD STAMP BEGINS VISIT CRATER LAKE" IS IX- SCRIBED OX LETTERS. Cancellation Mark to Advertise Oregon; Authorized Through Work of Portland Women. Largely as a result of efforts put forth by the Women's Ad club of the city the Portland postoffice yester day began the use of a cancellation stamp bearing the inscription, "Visit Crater Lake." The inscription is looked upon as being one of the finest advertising arrangements yet ar ranged, for carrying to the general public word of the great Oregon scenic wonder, as over 100,000 letters will leave the city every day directed to points practically throughout the world, bearing the inscription. Authority to use the Crater Lake cancellation was granted by the postal authorities after several months of effort by the Women's Ad club, aided by local postal authorities. Miss Con stance Mattingly was chairman of the committee and was aided by Mrs W. P. Strandborg. After word was re ceived that the, stamp had been al lowed the matter was presented to the Chamber of Commerce and the cham ber bore the expense of having the stamps prepared. At the same time that permission was granted to use the Crater lake stamp, authority " also was given to have a "See Columbia Highway" stamp prepared and after the Crater lake stamp has been in use for several months the Columbia highway stamp will be substituted. Warnings Hereafter Xot'to Suffice, Reads Ruling by Fire Marshal. Inspectors Get Instructions. Blockade of fire escapes with mer chandise or material will lead to the immediate arrest of persons respon sible, according to instructions issued to fire inspectors yesterday by Fire Ma'rshal Grenfell. In the past, fire inspectors finding fire escapes blockaded, issued warn ings and later made an inspection to see that the escapes were cleared. Because of the disasterous results of the fire in Healey Bros.' warehouse Tuesday morning, where firemen found the fire escapes blocked, no such warnings will be issued here after, but immediate arrests will be the rule. In the case of Healey Bros, it is said that furniture placed on a balcony fell and blocked the fire escapes and that all such exits were clear on the day before the fire. 'The city ordinance is specific con cerning blocking fire escapes," said Fire Marshal Grenfell. VV arnings were issued in the past, but the fire on Tuesday clearly demonstrates that warnings will not suffice. All in spectors of the fire bureau are in structed to arrest any person or per sons responsible for blocking fire escapes." JOHNSON ADVOCATES BUSY Marion County Club Listens to Senator's Supporters.
