SUDDEN AND VIOLENT DEATHS SHOW DECREASE Sudden and violent deaths in Mult nomah county for the year just pass­ ed reached a total of 334, according to the annual report of Coroner ■Smith, issued recently. This is 83 less than the figures for 1919, when the total deaths reached 417. Sudden deaths from accidents and nautrnl causes reached a total of 278. In addition there were eight murders nnd -18 suicides. These figures are in striking contrast to the figures for the preceding year, when there were 18 miirderii, 73 suicides and 326 sud­ den deaths. 1500 LENTS STATION, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1921 Subscription, $1.50 the Year (’Ian-nee O’Neil. 963?

Guaranteed Circulation The l-ents school entertainment, held in the assembly hall on the af- temoon nnd evenig of January 21. was a great success, At both per- formaneis the hall was filled, every seat being taken. The program was run off without a hitch and «very number was presented in a most cred­ itable manner. i’he dramatization of “Three Little I-1 ". n»“ by some of the lttll<- ones in M*ss Osborne’s room was a good starter and everyone was amused at the antics of the kittens and charmed with thrir costumes. The little maids from Miss Da- mon’a room who gave a Japanese song and drill were also most heart- They ilv received by the audience, were very fetching in their dainty ki­ monos, and made a delightful picture aa they danced around the stage, each carrying her fan and parasol. "Mother Goose Up-toDate” was the number given by Miss Wolverton’s and Miss l.awrenson’s rooms. As character aftsr character came forth from the pages of the big Mother Goose book In the center of the stage the audience indeed felt itself back in Mother Goose land. All our favorites wore there—Humpiy Dumpty, Little Miss Muffet, Georgie Porgie, Mistress Mary. Tom the Piper's Son, Jack Hor­ ner. and all the others, even the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe and ev­ ery last one of her children. Another v< ry pleasing feature of the enter­ tainment was the hoop drill given by white-clad maidens from Miss Bing­ ham’s room. A popular number was Anita Henry’s dance of "The High­ land Hing.” Mias MuncuFs pupils gave a dia­ logue song which was well sung and well received. Three girls, Virginia Sibley, Irene Sunderland and Madon­ na Bradbury added variety to the program with tiy-ir recitations. One of the most ambitious and de­ lightful feature of the entire program was the butterfly dance given by Miss Michel’s pupils. The fluttering of th* butterflies, the elaborate ]>oses, the dances under the colored lights »nd the accompanying song, all com­ bined to make it a most popular num­ ber. “Lining Songs in Living Pictures” by pupils from Miss Steinberge's and Mrs. Chick’s rooms concluded the program. This number was also par- tieulnrly good The quaint pictures nnd the songs that went along with them made a great hit The entire performance was one that reflected much credit upon both 1 pupils and teachers. HIGHWAY TRIP BEAUTIFUL EVEN IN WINTER MONTHS The Herald reporter was one of a party making the trip over the Col­ umbia Highway Sunday, and the trip was well worth the taking, even in the winter months. The scenic fea­ tures were wonderful; to a lover of nature beautiful beyond description, in the party were eastern people, who were loud in their praises of Oregon’s premier attraction. They expressed the opinion that if the highway was situated close to Chicago or any of the other large cities, it would have been commeiTialized to the limit, de­ tracting greatly from its attractive­ ness. At Crown Point, a high gale drove all who stopped to admire the view into the Vista House for shelter. The top of one car was blown into strips, and the occupants loet their headpieces while trying to hold the damaged top. | Soccer Team of Diploma ta in Washington hL í Ths English game of soccer fnvaded WssMugtoB dSTtai, the holidays with the result thul bruises and sore mus­ cles sre bring nuiseil along diplomatic row.

Barton, alleged to be prominent members of the wholesale liquor ring supplying tha Portland trade with illicit liquor, were arrested late last week, charged with unlawfully distilling moonshine at an establishment conducted by Wetzel at 2724 74th street Two Large copper stills were taken by the police. Barton and a taxi driver named Tindall were alleged to have been dickering over the price if Mime of th-s product of Wetzel’» still when interrupted by the police The two prisoners were taken to the station, «here they are reported to have ad­ mitted that they stole the whiskey from Wetzel. When the latter’» place was raided the machinery for making the liuuor was found, the pol­ ice said, together with a fresh supply of po'ato and hop mash to the extent of oeventy gallons. One report had it that the liquor waa to have been disponed of under the guise of five-year old rye, guar­ anteed matured five years in the wood. The still taken is raid to have been of twenty gallons capacity. PARENT-TEACHERS HOSTS FOR JAN.-JUNE GRADUATES The Lents Parent-Teacher associa­ tion entertained the January and June graduates with a joint class party on Wednesday evening in the school aud­ itorium. About 70 or 80 graduates were present. An invitation was ex­ tended to the parents of the pupils to attend and they responded most heartily. A large number of the old­ er people were present and joined in the ganu-s and stunts with the pupils. After the games and races of all kinds had been indulged in to the sat­ isfaction of all, the committee on re­ freshments announced that the tables were just groaning with all kinds of cake and plenty of punch. This an­ nounced was received with applause and all fell in line and marched to the lunch room. Needless to say, they did full justice to all the things provided. 15 ng artificial flowers were effec­ tively employed in the decorative scheme. All enjoyed a good time and were reluctant to go home. The even­ ing will be long remembered by both classes. Miss Alton has the January and Mrs. Absher the June class. Mrs. F. 0. McGrew, the president, thanked the committee and teachers for their efforts and support in mak­ ing the affair such a decided success. BURGLARS RANSACK SAFE OF COPELAND LUMBER CO. After carefully removing a pane of glass from the office window, prowl­ ers entered the Copeland Lumber Co. office in Lents Monday night and ran­ sacked the place. The outer door of the safe had been left open, but the inner door was locked. The intruders jimmied open the inner door and ex­ amined al' the papers carefully. No valuables had been left in the safe. Papers were found strewn about the floor when the office force arrived in the morning.

School Needs Parents’ Help The following communication from B. A. Thaxter, principal of the Lenta school, is self-explanatory: To the Patrons of the Lenta School: I know that all the good people of l-«nts are interested in the school that their boys and girls attend, and I feel sure that they are willing to do any­ thing within their power to make the school more efficient. We, into whose hands are commit­ ted the welfare of your children for a number of hours every school day, sincerely desire to help our pupils H every way possible. We are eager to --ec them make real progress, both in their studies and in their character­ building. We are anxious to have the co-operation of the parents in this, and we feel very grateful to those who have so unmistakably shown us that we can count on their assistance at home. I plead for one thing now. While 1 have not seen the figures from the other schools, I fear that Lenta has mode a very unenviable lveord for itself th s term in the number of cases of tardiness. I fee) sure that in many instances those have been unnecessary and that concerted action on the part of us all, parents and teachers, can do much to cut down the large total. School begins at 8:45 in the morning and 1:00 p. m. in the afternoon. Will you not kindly see that your boys and girls leave home early enough to reach the schoolhouse at least five minutes before hours for beginning? It will help us all here at school and above all it will inculcate in each child the habit of punctuality. B. A. THAXTER. Principal. Subscribe for the Herald, $1.50. CITY PAVING PLANT HAS REMARKABLE RECORD The most remarkable record of a municipal activity for the year 1920 was made public Saturday, when the report of the city’s new paving p'ant was filed with Commissioner Barbur of the public works department by Superintendent Robert S. Dulin. The report shows that the Portland paving plant bid in open competition with private contractors on nineteen major projects during the fiscal yaer and won them all. The difference be­ tween the lowest private bid and the price for which the city plant com­ pleted the job attained a total of $68,- 419.80. "This represents a direct saving to property owners along the newly paved streets," Commissioner Barbur said. “Had not the city plant been in the field to break up the paving monopoly the property owners would have had to pay over $68,000 more for their paving, or gone without it.” In addition to putting down pave­ ment at record low cost, the city plant paid all its own operating expenses and in addition turned into the city general fund a profit of $11,824.9.5. This sum is available for public use. replacing in part the tax revenues heretofore necessitated. A total of 156.875 square yards of dulinite pavement, equal to seven and one-half miles of city street, was put down by the Portland paving plant during the fiscal year. This was a larger amount than the total work done by al) private contracting cor­ porations combined. In addition to completing new street improvements, the city plant nude a total of 3483 cuts, with sub­ sequent repairs, for utility companies A son was bom to Mr. and Mrs Harold Pound of 5902 86th street Jan­ uary 13. HAPPENINGS ¿n (he BIG CITIES Moose, Grizzly and Unknown Tenderfoot ANCOUVER, B. C.—Few big game hunters In the Yukon are as well V known as Mrs. W. W. Dickenson, middle-aged woman who has hunted moose, deer, caribou, mountain goats ami bears for many yrtirs In Immense stretches of territory which are still marked “unexplored” on recent maps of the Far North, She has Just returned after a se­ ries of exciting adventures In the Tes- lln Lake country, where she spent some time hunting moose and grls- slles. To avoid being frosen In, Mrs. Dick- enson had to make a flying trip out of the country, with plenty of provi­ sions, but only a leaky 32-foot boat and a white guide. For nine days she and her companion battled with the turbulent waters of the Hootslln- qua river, said to be the wildest stream In the Yukon, frequently hav­ ing to rush for the shore and bale out the boat to avoid sinking. E.ery morn­ ing the boat had to be chopped free of Ice before It could be launched. While Mrs. Dickenson failed in her objective, bagging only game of aver­ age site, she did see the skin of what she believed to be the biggest grizzly ever shot In the Yukon. It was shot, curiously enough, by a tenderfoot from Chicago. The tender­ a foot and his guide came across the partly eaten carcass of a splendid moose, evidently killed only a few hours before. For half an acre the ground was torn up, showing a terrific fight had raged. The guide was confident the moose had been attacked and killed by a griz­ zly, and that only a bear of extraor­ dinary size could have overpowered the big moose. Knowing the grizzly would return later to finish his feast, the two men wafted until evening. The Chicago hunter got his game. Tbs moose head, which had a spread of five feet, was taken to Chi­ cago. Who Is the Chicago tenderfoot No­ body seems to know. Live, Newsy Items from Arleta District Business Men Enjoy Banquet Tuesday evening, January 25, at 6:15, the Arleta Business Men’s elub enjnjed a banquet in the vextrj room of the Arleta Baptist church. Follow­ ing the dinner, an open meeting was held, to which men and women were invited. A goodly crowd of around 60 were present. A short musical pro­ gram opened the meeting. Rev. Owen Day followed with a short talk in which the surprising fact was pre­ sented, that unless something was done, moneys’ to the total of 5,000,000 daily for the fiscal year would lie ap­ propriated by the armament bill^md not one dollar has been raised yer for the enforcement of the Volstead act. It looks as though some one should get busy. Rev. Day presented a set of resolutions to be sent to Repre­ sentative McArthur. The resolutions were accepted by the elub. Mr. Spiers, principal of Arleta school, gave a very able address on the school situation. All present seemed to be very much alive and in­ terested discussions followed his talk. The fact foremost in the minds of those present is the need, the urgent, crying need, of an active, concentra­ ted, united effort on the part of par­ ents, churches, school and the gen­ eral community to rectify the very apparent, very flagrant, evils that exist in our midst. The problem la an immense one, and it will take the thoughtful, earnest work of many to get the desired results. But results se must get and quickly. Arleta school is the largest grammar school in the city. Necessarily the problems are many and diversified. More about this matter will appear in the Herald during the coming weeks. Watch for it and be ready to do your bit. Woodmere School A special assembly of the children was held Tuesday morning at which time Mr. Coffin, of the traffic depart­ ment of the city, delivered an address on the importance and need of “safe­ ty first.” Carelessness in crossing streets, boarding street ears, riding steels and skating often result in the permanent injury of someone. Mr. Coffin is making a campaign in favor of “safety first” all through the city schools. A bit out of the ordinary will be the celebration of the graduating class this term. Instead of the usual exercises, the class will go on two exeursiors. They will visit the Ore­ gon Historical Musetun and the Cir­ cuit Court and the Portland central library. At the library Miss Rock­ wood, head of the reference depart­ ment, will guide the class. Some of the things of especial interest they will examine will be books on Oregon, Audoubon bird books and the Curtis Indian pictures Miaa Julia Spooner will accompany the students of their excursions. Miss Gertrude Thontson, who has be-en with the Woodmere school for over two years, will leave to teach next semester at Stephens school, which is hearer her home. Ansbcl Presbyterian Chnreh Rev. F.
