I 1ST johni VOLUME 15 ST. JOHNS, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY 4, 1919. NUMBER 9i REVIEW Made a Good Record Dr. T. L. Porkins, whose term of office aa City Commissioner expired on the first of the month, was tho recipient of a letter of appreciation and grati tude from the employees in his department last Saturday. The letter was signed by every employee in all the different bureaus under his charge. Mr. Adams, tho City Treasurer, mado the presentation address and congratulated the Doctor in tho way he conducted his de partment and wished to bIiow him the respect and esteem that was due him and the efforts he mado in their behalf. The Doctor thanked them and appreciated it from the fact thut no hoped the eiiorts that he did make in the betterment of the service was not in vain. and that he had laid the founda tion for future developments which his successor was soon to carry to a successful con clusion. Dr. Perkins has made an able and efficient executive, and while his term in office was limited, ho constantly labored for the best interests of the city. Ilo has made many innovations townrds improving and tho bet terment of tho service in the vurious bureaus, especially in tho Treasurer's office, the License bureau and the municipal stores. Thcso bureaus arc now at the present time giving the public excellent service and in every respect mooting- tho wants of tho public. Uuslnoss is expedit ed in u more efficient and econ omical manner and in times when things have been rushing, there has been no trouble in doing tho work rapidly. While tho doctor mado himself very nomilar around thu City Hall. ho has mado many friends and) it in tho intention that they will urge him to bo a candi date again at tho next general election for City Commissioner. Are Not Worrying No worries cloud tho mental horizion of Western managers of woolen milla as to Eastern and Southern competition, ac cording to E. L. Thompson, of tho Portlnnd Woolen mills. Al though a GO hour week still pre vails in many parts of tho South and n 51 hour week in a largo number of Eastern centers, Ore gon, with its new '18 hour sched ule, can still deal somo telling blows in tho competitive field. 'Oregon's bettor climatic condi tions permits tho worker making a good living tho year round, whilo in tho East and South, tho summers aro too hot to permit intense labor during the day and afford no refreshment dur ing the torrid nights," said Thompson. "Wo have been on an oight hour basis since Janu ary 1 at our plant and if the M hour week could be brought into universal favor I would welcomo it here, "As most of our employes aro married women, they have stat ed their preference for Saturday afternoons off for shopping and household duties. Wo therefore allowed them to distribute their 48 hour week in such a manner as to permit this. They now get to work at 7:30 and are through at 5 o'clock. And under this schedule, many of the women earn from ?25 to $35 a week. Our workers are of a better and more educated class of people and the higher wages paid them permit better living conditions. Tho cool all year round climate allows them to acccomplish much more than the Eastern and Southern work ers." Tho Portland Woolen mills has 140 looms and employ about 450 people. They will be unaffect ed, however, by the new sched ule as to hours and wage as re commended by the industrial welfare commission, as they are already paid over the minimum fixed, $13.50, and are working on the 48 hour week basis. Telegram. A farm hand who had worked every day in he week, from dawn till late at night, finishing the chores by lantern light, went to the farmer at the end of the month and said: "I'm going to quit. You promised me steady job of work." "Well, haven't you got one?" was the i atnniahpf) rfnlv "NJr" sniH trifti worker.

St. Johns Chautauqua Tho coming Chautauqun pro gram is apparently well balanced in so far as music, lecturers, and entertainment is concerned. There is an abundance of good music, clean wholesome enter tainment and u notable list of lecturers. A lecture event of unusual importance is scheduled in the coming of Ida M. Torball ' on the fourth evening. Miss Tnrball is a national figure, known as America's greatest woman nuul c at. author nnd publicist, journalist, lor several months she has been in Pans reporting 'roughly estimated that $25,000 events at the Peace Table fori will bo needed to build tho n syndicate of metropolitan dailies. At Chautauqua she will tell of tho Peace Conference she has observed it. Edward F. Trefz, formerly Fielo Secretary of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce nnd As sistant to Herbert Hoover in Food Administration work, is unquestionably one of tho big gest men on the program. Mr. Trefz is one of the most elo quent men on the American platform. In the past eight years he has delivered almost 5000 addresses to prominent business men's organizations. Private Pout is tho hcadlinor on the sixth night. This rule Canadian is nationally famous because of his book, "Private Peat," his maguzino articles and his moving picture. Other prominent lecturers arc Dr. Joseph Clnre, tho "Pastor of Petrograd," who tells the thrill ing story of the Russian Revolu tion us ho saw it in the capital city; Dr. A. D. Carpenter, with n lecture ot nusorumg interest on "Celestial Mechanics;" Dr. Elliott A. Boyl, with an inspira tional address: W. L. Mellin- gcr, throwing light on mo iuoxi- an situation: Mrs. R. C. flic Credio and Miss R. Louise Fitch, speaking on reconstruc tion problems as they effect womankind, and Henri' Warren Poor with an Underwood and Undorwood illustrated lecture on the closing days of tho war and the dawn of poace over seas. Tho music of tho week looks particularly strong. Tho big feature of tho program is tho Czccho Slova Rand under the the direction of Jnroslnv Cim era. This nana o: uoneminn musicians is mnking its first tour of tho South and West and its coming is being eagerly anticipated every where. Other musical events of tho first im portnnco aro two concerts by the Lewis Military Quartet, four voices picked from forty thous and at Camp Lewis: Mary Adel Hnys, tho widely known New York Coloratura Soprano and her company of Recital Artists; tho Fillion Concert Party, fent uring Ferdinand HI lion tho French violinist, and l-ern ool trn. of Chicago Opera famo: the McD&nough Engleston Com pany, two gins in a snappy, first night program; tho Reg niers, talented musical enter tainers, and tho Apollo Concert Company, ono of tho big musi cal organizations of tho Lyceum and Chautauqua world. A big entertainment feature is provided in "Turn to tho Right" bv Edwin Whitney, of Uoaton. I he presentation or ths metropolitan success on the third night is one of the events of first' importance during the week. Another entertainer who will make a host of friends nt Chautauqua is Elsie Mao Gor don, tho prominent and talented artist from the Hoosier state. Her negro, Italian and child sketches have won an endur ing name for her on thu Ameri can platform. 'The German has a holy rev erence tor ruu-. anu regula tions," said Ad.iiiral Sims in a recent talk with a London writ er. "One of our Yankee de stroyers tcok a U-boat crew prisoner. Among them was a particularly squat a headed, lan tern jawed German, obviously a country bumpkin before he de generated into a pirate. A mid shipman thought he'd rag the Boche a bit -particularly as he discovered he could talk Eng lishand said to him: "So Fritz, I guess we're not going to do a thing jo you. You're going to be tarred, feathered, shot, hamstrung, and pitched over the side of the boat. That's all!' Fritz was not es pecially dazed by this program but evinced sufficient interest in it to inquire: "Did you say I vbb to be drowned in de vater also, yes?" "You've got me the first time kid," said the middy. "Veil, all right," said Fritz, re signedly, "vat ever is de rule." Listen! Good work shirts. 98c. ROGERS.

Fuller, vice-president of tho company, proposed in a letter to the com mission to operate the branch i for cost plus 15 per cent. It is (line. Tho company offers to furnish tho necessary cars for a time at least. According to Mr. Fuller, the company is not now making an adequate return on its physical valuation as plac ed by tho public scrvico commis sion nnd that this fact render it impossible for the company to undertake any new extensions. The offer was referred to City Attorr.ey LnRoche, who will pass upon the city's legal author ity to construct tho lino.

Private Peat to be Here Private Peat is declared to rank along with Hurry l.audor and ('barley Chttplin us a great mirth maker. Hut there are no slapstick methods about him. His lecture which is to bo given at Chautauqua on tho sixth night, is just packed with finu clean humor thut bub bles out spontaneously. Ho wus with tho Canadians who stood hotween the Germans and the Channel ports when the war was new ; he was gassed in the first gus attack at Vpros and was finally severely wounded, lying for two days in tho ojion before being rescued. Yot his story is ono of youthful optim ism and of dure deviltry and ho will make you laugh, but through it all is tho strong sprinkling of sober judgment of men and alfairs that has jilaced him in tho front ranks of tho wur lecturers. As a ono man entertainment, on the platform, he is without a poor. In tho past year ho has loctured in more than .'500 cities, includ-' ing London, Toronto.
