ST. JOHNS REVIEW VOLUME 18 ST. JOHNS, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1922. NUMBER 24 St. Johns Community Club . Tlio St. Johns Community Club dini'il nt the new Pioneer Metho dist church Tuesday evening, mid did full justice to the splendid meal served by the Gleaners' class and Ladies' Aid of the church. Through the cooperation of Mr. AVnll of the Peninsula Electric Co.,the dinner was cook ed on an electric range by Mrs. I la I ley, demonstrator for thu P. II. -L. & P. Co., who also made n Tew interesting remarks relative to the merits of the electric range and its advantages over others. After the dinner had been skil fully served and taken care of an interesting program was ren dered. Judge Kossmau was the principal speaker of the evening, and his interesting discoursu was listened to witfl appreciative at tention, lie told incidents con nected with his nearly five years of service as municipal judge, during which time almost 100,- 000 eases had came before him, and last year a daily average of a cases, or better than an aver age of one ease to every ten per sons in the city. lie incidentally remarked that he had purchased recently a couple of lots hero and might make St. Johns his home at some future date, tile gave a brief resume of uussell II. ( oil' well's fanious lecture, "Acres of Diamonds, where one is told that if he possessed a hand ful of diamonds lie would become imeuscly wealthy. The man was previously quite content with his lot but his avarice became arous ed. He sold bis farm and wan dered afar in search of the pre cious stones, which always, how ever, eluded his discovery. In the end, after he had lost all he possessed in his vain search, he committed suicide. Meaiiwhile the man to whom be had sold his farm discovered a diamond mine right on the place the searcher had sold him, which eventually became one of the world's great est diamond fields. The thought he brought out was that one should make the best of and try to dcvelopc the oportuuities that surround him instead of chasing rainbows that so seldom are caught up with. The Judge is a pleasing speaker as well as inter ing one, and before he concluded he touched on the menace that confronts the country from nar cotic addicts. Mrs. O. W. Overstreet rendered two very pleasing solos, as did also J. II. Horry. Miss Laura Karl gave a couple of whistling selections that pleased the audi, enue immensely. They were ac companied on the niauo bv Mrs. l' P. Sohult.e. John Oliver, ac- companied by Randolph Howard, j favored the assemblage with two fine and splendidly executed vio- 1 in solos, mid Mrs. Geo. M. Hall gave two readings that wore heartily enjoyed. Rev. W. K. ICIoster, A. K. Jones and J. O. Bailey made neat little talks. Judge Rossman was made an honorary member of the club and Air. and Mrs. Ransom, who have recently located in St.Johns were introduced to the Club by Pres ident Mouahan. Mr. Ransom is in charge of Municipal Terminal No. 4. Communications were read from Commissioner of Pub lic Works Harbur, the Public Dock Commission and County Coiiimisioners relative to street repair work. The lormcr stated that no part of the cost of re dressing Jersey street had been paid by the city, but by the prop erty owners entirely, and there fore the city could not consist ently or justly assume any share of the cost in redressing the street from Baltimore to Catlin. The Public Dock Commission nl so declined to aid in the expense of such work, asserting that the Commission bud already spent money on Jersey street repair be tween (.'at lin and Nt. .lolins ave nue. Tiie County Commission ers, however, promised to repair Richmond and Oswego streets as mww as they could get around to it. A rising vote of thanks was tei' lered the ladies of the church for the line repast and entertain incut provided. '! he next meeting of the Club will be held the first Tuesday ev ening in May, and the place will be announced in the next issue.

All of the services are greatly improved by the use of our new hymn books. Sunday school will begin at l):lii next Sunday. We are hoping that our superintend ent, Mr. MoMnhon, will be able to be present. He has been una ble to attend because of .Mrs. Me Million's illness.

The man of the house comes home some of theseApril days and finds all his customary pos sessions removed from their ap pointed places, and his comforta ble churns covered with dust cloths, and he complains of the spirit of desolation. It seems to him a needless upheaval and he gets sour and cross over the din ner tabic. The hoiiseeleaniug spirit, however, is the product of good old fashioned housewifery. It is the inheritance of a time when women scrubbed and swept long hours in the attempt to make their homes sweet and clean. It is this patient, war against dirt that makes a well kept dwelling so mucli more healthful than one in the slums of the cities. These well cleaned homes give their inmates protec tion against the perils that al ways lurk where dirt accumu lates. Jlefore getting cross at the annual spring scrimmage, the man of the house should rollout on the dangers he has escaped through his wife's standards of clean living. On Thursday of last week oc curred the death of Leonard Shaw.son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Shaw, on South Jersey street, ag ed 18 years, 7 mouths and '2 days.

Decision to move forward at once with definite plans for the 1!)LTj exposition unless there comes front thcpeoplo of Oregon a "mandate to surrender" was made Wednesday by the execu tive committee of the exposition organization. The committee made explicit announcement that the big project hits not been abandoned. It expressed "com plete faith" in the undertaking. Outlining policies and purposes, the committee made plain that it expects no mandate to drop the exposition project. On the other hand it cites the mandate of Portland's voters in favoring the fair. In conformance with the prior vote of Portland citizens, the committee announced that it will ask that they reauthorize a tax levy of W.OOO.OOO for the fair, to be collected over a three year period. . In addition the an nouncement was made of plans to raise 1, 000,000 in Portland thru public subscription. Participa tion by the state at large in u mincing the exposition will be left to citizens of the state them selves. Popular subscriptions will be sought, particularly in communities contiguous to the great tourist highways, but no counties or communities will be confronted with specific ipiotas or requests. It was made plain that no spccillc sum will be as signed to the state at largo. COAL STRIKE CANNOT AF FECT PORTLAND At least as long as the Gas Coin pany's production of Gasco Bri duets keeps up. This company produces millions of pounds of the best fuel that is made, as it is almost entirely carbon. People buying Gasco Bricpicts do not spend their money for ashes. As the coal strike was announ ced, the news also appeared in the papers that Gosco Rricpiets had been reduced to $14.75 for delivery at the Company's con venience during the Summer. This enables them to keep their organized crews intact, thus saving the extra cost of crowding Jill deliveries into n few months in the Fall. This saving is passed on to the public, and last year those that bought at the Special Summer price saved themselves a total of over $2:1,000.00 adv. MULTNOMAH An interesting birthday party was given in the honor of Mrs. Myrtle Orronson at her hoino.fi'JS Hast Charleston street Kaster Sunday, April 10, at 11 o'clock, also celebrating her brother's birthday which comes on the same day.
