ST. JOHNS REVIEW VOLUME 17 ST. JOHNS, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY 29, 1921. NUMBER 38 House Cleaning Time .There ia a good old text that reads: Set thine house in order. As a boy I was somewhat pre jtidiced against it as it alwayB suggested house cleaning. You know what I mean by that word. There is something almost un canny about it. House cleaning! The very word has a grating, ter rifying sound, an ominous echo that seems to chime in with memories of measles, hazel switches and everything disa Sreeable. He is a brave man who oes not feel like hiding at the thought of it. In every well rec ulatcd homo it is that periodical upheaval, or domestic earthquake that usually occurs twice a year in the spring and fall. It al ways comes too soon and lasts too long. It is the time when the old adage, 'A place for every thing and everything in its place." is reversed. There is no place for anything and nothing is in its place. With all guileless nu33 you walk in some day for your luncheon. In dismay you look nbout you. Hall trees and hat-racks are dismantled. You will probably find your overcoat in the kitchen and your books in the backyard. Your neckties are on the hot water tank and your collars in the wastebasket. Your writing desk is being used for u Btcplaader and your knife for a screwdriver. Hold on to your Panama hat or they'll get it for a dust pun I You fcol ''The Call of the Wild." You have a day dream of cooling brooks and speckled trout, but it is all in vain. You would gladly go any whore just anywhoro for u va cation, but you are needed at home. In fact your presence was never so greatly appreciated as now. You recall that for several days your wife has been telling you what a particularly nice man you are. And then you daro not I leave anyway. If you did, when you returned you would find her in the hospital and that would be about the only one of your be longings you could find. O yes, you may hire a man, and think you will let George do it; but you will be disallusioned all too soon. If you attempt to go to your own work, n weary, pleading voice reminds you that you are the only one who knows how to fix the jigger-jiggers for the curtain poles; and anyway, George can never lift the book cases alone. No, my brother, your proper title is Dennis ana you are in for it. In time youj will como to look upon house- cleaning as a necessary evil and a big lesson in tho school of pa tience. 1 fancy I can see a touch of tenderness on your face an. for the fourth time you readjust a motto on the wall and console yourself with its message, "What can't be cured must bo endured." The scene changes and you are in tho backyard face to face with an array of rugs formidable enough to throw Polar bear into a cold sweat. You meekly obey orders. I can hear the heavy thud of a broomhandle us it falls unceasingly like the tolling bells of time and you keep up courage by whistling, "My W fo's Gono to the Court try," but she hasn't. Kev. W. S.

H. Loth rop of the Portland Traffic and Transportation bureau to bring about unification of all railroad tcr tninals in the city has met with the hearty approval of Manager Ii. JL. Hudson of Portland Traffic Bureau. Hudson in a report Thursday to the Port of Portland commisssion said that such plan would result in many eliminations of heavy switch ing charges, and unless these elimi nations were made, commerce and industry of the port would be throttled. Instead of having the terminal yards of the various rail roads located in Guild's Lake or Muck's bottom, he suggested that they be placed at Hast St. Johns on the Peninsula where trains may be broken up and those designed for the cast side sent through the O. W. R. & N. tunnel utid those for the west side over the S. P. & S. bridge across the Willamette. All the railroads entering the city can be served by such a terminal but the Southern Pacific, and he ex pressed the belief that arrangements can be made whereby this road can be served by this terminal. This plan, he said, would leave the Guild's lake and Mock's bottom districts for the expansion of in dustries. The port commission took no action, but will await develop, incuts relative to the dredging of the west channel nt Swan Island Daily Abstract.

Tho Oregon Pine, Oregon Fir and the Undaunted are tied up at the dock waiting for charters. Chief Engineer Schefhouser is erecting a new residence and will soon be resting, as it were, "beneath his own vine and fig tree." Calkers are at work on tho five big pontoons at the dock. The pontoons will be ready for tho Port of Portland early in September. Last Friday evening the "housewarming" at tho resi dence of Superintendent Mc Millan was ono of, the most pleasing events of the season. About 80 guests wore present. Devotees of Terpslcore were more than pleased: duinty re freshments were served and the guests wended their way home ward, loud in praise of the hosl and hostess. Hundreds of thousands of bushels of grain are lost to con sumption each year on American farms because of improper ad justment and lack of efficiency , in the operation of threshing ma- cnines, uccoraing iu uiu uupuri ment of agriculture which has given considerable attention to this loss, with a view to ascer taining how far improved meth ods can be economically intro duced to adjust the waste.
