Myr6n E. Adams Telegraphs Cap
ital In Regard to Obtaining
. Xew Hospital Site.
Cirftent recommendation for the
transfer of Fort Stevens, Or., from the
jurisdiction of the war department
to that of the United States Veterans'
bureau, and its utilization as a train
lngr center for neuro-psychiatriccasee
among- ex-service men has been made
by Myron E. Adams, executive secre
tary of the national rehabilitation
committee of the American Legion,
according to an announcement made
daring his brief stay in this city
yesterday.
Mr. Adams arrived in Portland after
a thorough investigation of conditions
In the Pacific northwest district,
which convinced him of the necessity
for niacins a training center for treat
ment of nerve cases at Fort Stevens,
as has been urged repeatedly by
Clatsop post of the legion at Astoria
Room for 1500 Found.
Fort Stevens can accommodate be
tween 1400 and 1500 single men and
60 men with families in the barracks
now there, according to information
on file with the publicity divieion of
State headquarters of the legion, ana
. can be made in readiness for oc
cupancy at an initial expenditure of
not more than $25,000. These figures
are from the report of an investiga
tion by C. A. Murphy, commander of
the Astoria post of the legion.
"District rehabilitation committee
of which Major George R. Drever of
Seattle is chairman, after investigat
ing reports on Fort Stevens as traln
irg center for neuro-psychiatric cases,
requests you expedite transfer of post
from war department to veterans bu
reau and opening of badly needed
center there," telegraphed Mr. Adams
yesterday to his chief. Colonel Albert
K. Sprague of Chicago, chairman of
the national rehabilitation committee
of the legion.
Conference la Held.
After a conference with Lane
Goodell, department commander, and
Harry E. Nelson, department adju
tant, Mr. Adams left on a tfip over
the Columbia River highway, return
ing in time to take the Shasta limited
for California. He expects to be in
Chicago within ten days and will go
from there to Washington, D. C.
where he promised local veterans he
will do his utmost for the Fort Stev
ens project.
Just before Mr. Adams departure
he was met by a delegation from the
Astoria post of the legion and re
newed to them his promises of sup
port for the Fort Stevens project.
Those coming from Astoria to take
the subject up with him were C. A.
Murphy, commander; J. A. Buchanan,
vice-commander; C R. Carlton and
John Smith.
Mr. Adams has been investigating
the tubercular hospital situation in
the Pacific northwest and reported
that he found it very bad.
"The treasury department allocated
money for the reconstruction of the
interior of the old brick barracks at
Walla Walla, Wash., so that they
could be used for hospital purposes,
on April 21, 1921," he said, "The plans
for this work were- changed four
times by supervising architects before
September, 1921. There is no prospect
now of the work being completed be
fore July 1. Yet I am reliably in
formed that! all the work easily could
have been completed within six
months from the time the construc
tion was ordered.
Boise Work Lag's.
"There also appears to have been
nothing done with the furnishing of
an addition to the tubercular wards
of the hospital at Boise for which
$75,000 was appropriated last year."
Mr. Adams' pointed out that because
of the remoteness of Oregon and
Washington from Washington, D. C,
it was necessary for the district re
habilitation committee to act defi
nitely and quickly on matters being
carried out here. He asserted that
there have been too many contract
hospitals and not enojigh government
supervision, which has made it im
possible to obtain the best care.
His committee in Washington, D. C,
is seeking an amendment to the Sweet
bill, he said, permitting men Buffer
ing from nervous disorders to receive
compensation and treatment from the
government for a period of five years
instead of two, as it now stands.

M1BLLE FOR CHANGE'1
TOWN QUITS OPPOSITION TO
MEMORIAL HIGHWAY PljAN,
Chamber of Commerce Takes New
View on Explanation That
Old Name Stands Also.
McMionville, which has been oppos
ing the designation of t&e name Ore
gon Memorial highway to th-e west
side loop road from Portland through
Hlllsboro and Forest Grove to Mc
Minnville and thence back to Portland
via Dayton And Newberg, has changed
its position and will back the pro
posed memorial road, according to ac
tion taken by the McMinnville cham
ber of commerce, through its board of
directors, at a meeting Monday. News
of the action of the club was brought
to Portland yesterday by B. O. Gar
rett, secretary of the organization.
It has been largely through a miS'
understanding that McMinnville has
been opposed to the formation of the
Memorial highway, Mr. Garrett ex
plained.
It was at first thought that the
naming of this route in this way
would do away with the name West
Side Pacific highway, which "the Mc
Minnville people feel has important
commercial value as designating a
main route north and south across the
state and which will become vastly
more important when pavement of
this route is completed. It was ex
plained, however, that the two names
would not be in competition, ths
Memorial highway representing the
entire loop from Portland, and the
West Side Pacific highway designat
ing the route from Portland through
Newberg and Lafayette to McMinn-
viUo and thence south rto its juncture
with the main Pacific highway at
Junction City. It was upon this basis
that the movement to establish the
Oregon Memorial highway was given
hearty indorsement by the McMinn
ville club.

CliATSOP POST BACKS MOVE
Room for 2500 Patients Declared
A vuilable at Port Stevens.
ASTORIA. Or..March 14. (Special.)
Members of Clatsop post. American
legion, have launched a vigorous cam
paign to have Fort Stevens desig
nated as the site for the rehabilitation
center and vocational training area
which the government proposes to
establish at some point in the north
west. This afternoon a committee of
five representing the post and headed
by Charles A. Murphy, commander,
left for Portland to confer with a rep
resentative of the national rehabili
tation council.
The local proponents of the Fort
Stevens site urged that it would cost
the government at least $500,000 to
establish the rehabilitation center
elsewhere in the northwest, while by
using the splendid buildings already
erected at Fort Stevens the center
could be constructed for J25.000 or
less. The Fort Stevens buildings
could accommodate 2S00 men if nec
essary, while a splendid fully-equipped
hospital is located there.
jHE gown which Princess Mary
wore on the occasion of her wed
ding to Viscount Lascelles in
London February 28 was declared to
have been one of the most wonder
ful productions ever designed by the
dressmaker's art. The creation was
symbolic of the entire British empire,
and was the work of weeks.
Naturally, the robe for so notable
bride and so significant an occa
sion was evolved only wnn me ex
nenditure of much time and pains-
t.ikinsr effort not to mention real
genius. It was made by the firm o
Reville. Ltd., 15 Hanover square
West, and Mr. Reville brought to bear
upon the problem all his experience
of years of work and study of fashion
and his knowledge of the truly Deau
tiful and fitting.
Princess Mary was the first "Brit
ish empire" bride, and that was re
fleeted in her gown, which was an
'All-British" creation. That the fin
iKhed nroduct was worthy of its
wearer already has been dwelt upon
In renorts of the wedding, so, now
for more detailed description.
Silver Cloth Foundation.
First of all, there was the foun
da tion a straight robe of silver
cloth, cut with a square decolletage
and Just reaching the ankles. Then
came an overdress of marquisette of
cobweb fineness, distinguished by a
V-shaped decolletage and falling
atralerht from the shoulders. The
overdress was covered with rose and
foliaire embroidery in lattice design
carried out by means of thousands of
seed and baroque pearls, tiny dia
monds and silver bullion. That work
alone required the skill and patience
of many skilled workers for weeks.
But the effect was fairylike, for tne

quarter length sleeves with their bell

Princess Mary's train was a tri
umph of British workmanship. It
was specially woven in England to
the creator's own instructions, great
emphasis being laid on the pearly
whiteness of the silk to be employed.
The result was a duchess satin of
which the exquisite lustrous surface
was shot with the finest of silver
thread, subtly interwoven with the
silken warp, forming a pattern sym
bolical in character. .Where the train
was fastened to the shoulders was
draped collar fashion some beauti
ful lace the gift of the queen which
also formed cascading draperies at
each side. -
. The beauty of the satin was en
hanced by embroidery in Delhi silver,
silver bullion, pearls and diamonds
that emphasized the character of the
designer just referred to. Here and
there, too, were glimpses of pale blue
velvet introduced in the heart of a
silver rose for the "something blue"
that every bride must wear.
The symbolical design of the satin
woven for the "British empire" bride
presented the rose, the shamrock and
thistle; alBO the lotus of India, the
wattle of Australia, the maple leaf of
Canada, the tree fern of New Zea
land and other emblems representing
outlying portions of the empire. But
so happily and lightly combined were
they all that the effect was that of
a wonderful work of art. The veil
fell from a simple tiara of priceless
pearls, and was the one worn by
Queen Mary at her wedding. The
wedding wreath was trimmed with
orange blossoms and an orange
blossom spray which hung from side
of girdle.

VANCOUVER, B. C, March 14.
(Special.) Because Canadian boats
do not have to declare their cargoes
when going coastwise, numerous
boats have taken this means of leav
ing the port well stocked with liquor.
These boats fly the Canadian flag
and give a port, in many instances,
a long distance from where they in
tend to transfer their freight. Some
where on the Gulf of Georgia or near
some of the gulf islands the Canadian
boats are met by United States craft
and the transfer is made without dif
ficulty.
Canadian rum-runners have notified
all United States rum-runners that
they will not be welcome in this port
and will find themselves in the hands
of the customs officials if they do not
remain in United States territory. fl?he
Canadian boats will in future carry
11 the liquors that go out of the
port and the - business must all be
done through the rum-runners' ex
ecutive here. Custom officials are
paying no attention to Canadian boats
going out with liquor, but every
United States boat is rounded up and
her cargo seized.
Bootleggers here said they had the
protection of the Canadian govern
ment through the liquor vendors' ex
ecutive. The vendors buy liquor on
which the government gets a heavy
duty. The vendors sell it to the boot
leggers, and in order that the boot

doing much to combat.
In every Northwest town there's a "live" Pacific States

a public service quite as important in its way as that of
your banker. '
Consult with him regarding fire risks; he will gladly

SPRING DEBILITY
Loss of Appetite, That Tired Feel
ing and Sometime Eruptions.
Thousands take Hood's Sarsapa
rilla as a spring medicine for that
tired feeling, nervous weakness,
impure blood and say it makes
them feel better, eat and sleep bet
ter, and "makes food taste good."
Spring debility is a condition in
which it is especially hard to com
bat disease germs, which invade
the system here, there and every
where. The white blood corpuscles,
sometimes called "the little soldiers
in the blood," because it is their
duty to fight disease germs, are too
weak to do good service.
Hood's Sarsaparilla strengthens
the "little soldiers" and enables
them to repel germs of grip. Influ

relieves catarrh and rheumatism.
It has given satisfaction to three
generations. Get it today, and for
