To the Parents:
Two many things are lost, all
causing trouble.
Money,
books,
skates, knives, lunches, umbrellas,
overshoes, hats, coats, combs, pins,
etc.
Please tell your children to be
careful. When possible to do so,
mark plainly all articles with the
pupils name,
Have children call at the principal’s
office where all lost articles should
be brought.
We want you to warn your chil
dren to keep out of danger of autos,
wagons, street-cars, etc. We warn
them constantly.
Have them come directly home
from school. We do not want the
children to idle on the street«, in
the stores, at the picture show or at
the station.
Please tell tlp-m to pass quietly
on the opposite side of the street
when there is a funeral.
Not to play in the mud and water.
Promptly report to the teachers
any bad conduct.
Pupils should not ride bicycles to
school.
Lunches should not be brought ex
cept by pupils living a long distance
from the school or in extremely bad
weather. Walking is a good exercise.
The health of the children is much
benefited by going home for lunch.
A. F. HERSHNER, Principal.
the city commissioner« that there is
a certain prejudice among Landlords
of this city against renting to dis
charged soldiers and sailors rooms
in apartment houses where the fam
ily consists of more than man and
wife. Mrs. A. E. Richards, of the
housing bureau, has made the com
plaint and intends to go before the
local clubs and start a movement to
secure home« for the service men.
Commissioner Bigelow says “that if
fathers and mothers are barred from
homes in Portland because they hap
pen to have children there would be
'little incentive for young people to
get married." It is very probable
that the city council will be com
pelled to take some definite action in
regard to this matter and assist the
landlords in devising ways and
means of housing families with chil
dren.
The city council will act upon the
recommendation of • Commissioner
Perkins' resolution increasing the ap
propriation of the Rose Festival from
$2500 to $5000 this week, This is
on account of the nature of the cel-
ebration, it being held at a time
when the city should give the re-
turned soldiers and Bailors a hearty
and cheerful welcome, and at the
same time to Bhow the appreciation
of Portland’s citizens.
Commissioner Mann wants a geo
logical survey made of Bull Run
lake, but he has not as yet made up
his mind to ask for an appropriation
from the council to pay the expenses
of a noted government geologist, Mr.
John Diller. The purpose of the
survey is to insure a lasting water
storage.
Commissioner Perkins has drafted
an ordinance compelling every police
officer to act as a deputy license in
spector. Under this plan the police
officers on their respective beats
will ascertain if licenses have been
secured and report to the officials
at the license bureau. Commissioner
Perkins states that in this manner
the whole city will be covered at
hardly any expense to the city.and
will increase the revenue by thou
sands of dollars which has hereto
fore been lost. Commissioner Per
kins is now installing new furniture
in the license bureau and by the
time everything is in shape it will
be of immense benefit not only to
the employes but also in the ac-
commodation of the public.

a tax of 5 per cent upon the sales of
al) articles commonly or commercial
ly known as jewelry, including pre
cious metals or imitations thereof,
and ivory, watches, clocks and opera
glasses. This tax is to be collected
by the dealer upon such goods when
sold to the user, and every store in
Lents handling any of these lines
must collect this tax upon all sales
made commencing April 1. In order
that a complete list of dealers in
these goods may be compiled, all
such dealers should send their names
to the collector at Portland, stating
the business engaged in.
On and after May 1, 1919, there
will be a tax collected from the pur
chaser of ice cream, soda water, and
such other refreshments of this kind
as are served at soda fountains and
similar places of business. Owners
of soda fountains and ice cream par
lors should be sure to have their
names listed with the collector at
once.
On and after May 1. 1919, the lux
ury tax will be effective, Thia pro
vides that a tax of 10 per cent «hall
be collected by the dealer from the
pu i chaser on carpets and rugs aell-

men’s jackets and neckwear, silk
stockings or hose, women’s silk stock
ings or hose, men’s shirts and men’s
and women’s pajamas, nightgowns
and underwear, kimonas. petticoats
and waists. Virtually every store in
Oregon will be affected by this tax,
which will apply to all that part of
the price for which the goods are
sold in excess of the price stipulated
in the act.
On and after May 1, 1919, per
fumes, essences and extracts, denti
frices and similar articles, as well as
pills, tablets, powders and other me
dicinal preparations, will be subject
to a tax of one cent on each 25
cents, or fraction thereof. This tax
will be paid by stamps affixed to
the goods by the seller.
The taxpayer is supposed to ascer
tain his liability, and ignorance of
the law is not held by the courts to
be a valid reason for not complying
with the law. Collector Miller will
be pleased to furnish all information
upon request, but obviously has no
means of reaching everyone affected
by the act and notifying them indi
vidually of their liability.

With the acceptance of an invita

11, 12 and 13, it is assured that
Portland’s harbor will be the haven
for a good-sized fleet of Uncle Sam’s
fighting craft while the festival is
under way.
Recently the directors took up the
matter of having warships in the
harbor while the Festival was being
held and the navy department indi
cated that such request would be ful
filled. Following this, an invitation
was extended to Admiral Fullam at
San Diego, where he commands the
Pacific division, and he accepted this
