OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE. FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1921.
GERMANY HAS MANY
OUT OF WORK AND
Fl
Gradually increasing prices for food
in Berlin have caused a corresponding
increase in the demands of workmen
for higher wages and Btrikes, or the
threat of strikes, hand over virtuall
every business in the city.
Approximately 1,000,000 persons ar
reported unemployed in Germany, the
majority, some facing starvation. Foud
months ago 284,181 women were
seeking employment, according to the
tabor ministry's estimate, and it was
announced 300,000 persons shortly
would be out of work or on short-
time, the latter being unable to earn
enough to support themselves.
Nearly every municipality in Ger
many is occupied with the problem
providing work for unemployed and
and adjusting wage difficulties,' in an
effort to forestall the spread of
strike and further discontent.

NIGHT "COP"
-I
COUNCIL HOLDS
LAST SESSION
FOR YEAR 1920
Mayor Holman presided over the
last council meeting for the old coun
cil last Thursday evening in the city
hall. Matters that have been hanging
fire for some time were cleaned up,
and the decks of the administration

mayor.

Shannon; John Loder, recorder, sue
ceeded by Charles W. Kelly; George

O. D. Eby.
A resolution thanking the retiring
mayor, recorder and city attorney for
their good work during the past year,
was adopted by the council. After
the session, members of the council
were invited to a picture show as
guests of Mayor Holman at the Star
theater.
A shake-up in the police force
Oregon City took place the first
the year, and several new faces will
be seen on the force. Ward Clark
and Wm. Everett have been selected
to replace Ed. Surfus on the night
beat, and the extra policeman comes
under the budget for 1921, when
two night policemen were ordered by
the council. J. L. Bradley will suc
ceed E. W. Scott as chief-of-police, and
Scott has been appointed, street com
missioner. Officer Bain, appointed by the mer
chants between Eighth and Sixth
streets on Main, resigned, and E. T.
Mass, United States deputy marshall,
has been tendered the place, and is
now temporarily filling the job, al
though it is rumored that Mass has
not made up his mind whether he will
accept the position or not.
The merchants located on Main,
between Eighth and Sixth streets,
held a meeting yesterday afternoon,
and Al. Price was elected chairman
of a committee to secure a time clock
for the night merchants' police, and
to install boxes containing seperate
keys for each business house. These
keys will be used' by the policeman to
unlock the clock and punch in his
time at stated intervals, thereby keep
ing a record of his activities during
the night. Several new members
were taken in by the merchants pro

PHILLIPS WILL
IS UPHELD BY
COUNTY JUDGE
The final reading of an ordin
ance changing the grade of Twelfth
street betweenr Main -and Cente
occurred after the hour set
for taxpayers' remonstrances had
been passed. The street has already
teen graded, and the change in the
ordinance is to make the proper grale
conform. It was also decided by res
olution that residents along Seventh
street would be allowed to connect
with the new sewer on that street,
upon payment of $31 for each lot serv
ed. This sewer was originally in
tended for a water drain, and extends
from Molalla avenue to Main street,
but the present pipe has not p-oved
satisfactory.
Oscar D. Eby reported that the, A.
G. Long Fire Apparatus, company,
through which the city is purchasing
a new fire truck, may accept half o
the $15,000 bonds ordered sold to pay
for the truck. This would leave but
$7500 in bonds to be disposed of locally.
HILL CLIMBING
CONTEST WAS
A THRILLER
The hill climbing contest staged by
tha Rnso Oitv Moforcvcle olnh in i
this city yesterday afternoon on Mon
roe hill afforded many thrillers for
the large crowd of spectators. Al
though a fine mist was falling, which
made going rather slippery, neverthe
less, the riders performed many dar
ing and sensational feats. The only
machine which arrived at the top of
the big hill was a Harley-Davidson,
owned by a Salem man. When the
motorcycle got to the toy
the rear tire on the machine was
literally in threads. This was the
second contest held here by the as
sociatfon.
In the ametuer class, C. V. Hinshaw,
of Salem was first; Sam Hare, Ore
gon City, second; and a man by the
name of Kady, of Portland, third. The
prize for this division was a tropy
cup.
The First Baptist church of this
city, will be one of the beneficiaries
in the will left by the late Mrs. Rach
el Phillips, according to the decision
handed down by, the county judge
Friday afternoon. Mrs. Phillips left
an estate valued at $26,000 and be
queathed the money to the First Bap
tist church, of Oregon City; the Old
Folks Home, at Salem, and the Mult
nomah Normal school, to be equally
divided among these institutions.
Mrs. Rebecca Turney, sister of the
deceased, instituted proceedings to
contest the will, and the case came up
before Judge Anderson some time
ago, who took it under advisement.
The judge declared the will valid
last Friday afternoon. No mention of
the relatives in the will was recorded.
Livy Stipp and Wm. M. Stone were
tha attorneys for the benefeciaries,
and Gilbert L. Hedges attorney for
Mrs. Turney.
THE THEATRE TREASURER.
The Theatre Treasurer is responsi
ble for all the money taken in by that
theatre. It is an important position
and one which women are now filling
with satisfaction, although sometimes
it is more difficult for them, to make
the change accurately than for men
Many theaters have machines to make
the change and this is simple to man
age.
A theatre treasurer is usually un
der bonds, that is, a bonding company
insures the theater against los3
should any money be missing on a&
count of the treasurer. Sometimes
theatres pay the bonding company,
and sometimes the bond is paid for
by the treausrer.
As the job is responsible and re
quires skill, it pays in proportion. The
usual pay for a beginner is $20 a
week while an assistant, and about
$60 in high class vaudeville and the
legitimate theatres. In motion picture
houses and small theatres, the pay is
not so large. Exceptional treasurers
receive $100 a week.
The treasurer helps the manager
make up the pay-roll and often takes
charge of all the funds. Often there
are one of more assistants, and they
work two at a time, a long and a
short day, with one day a week off,
not always Sunday. Such hours are
from nine in the morning till twelve
and from six to ten one day, and from
twelve till six the second day, with
the third day off.
The theatre treasurer must be a
good accountant, honest, and must
know the theatre well, and how many
tickets are sold on an average each
evening, and must make his receipts
tally with the tickets taken in at the
door.
ed States, and based upon studies in
cities and towns in all parts of the
country. With such authority the wo
men of America may feel satisfied
that it will be a bill worthy of their
support and women citizens who wish
to serve in its interest will find op
portunity to do so by writing to their
Congressman both individually and as
Clubs and urging his support to thia
bill.
Two causes are found for deaths of
mothers and babies; first, absence of
trained care at childbirth owing to
long distance from a doctor or nurse,
or from such poverty as prevents hir
ing of one; and second, ignorance of
the personal hygiene which an expect
ant mother should observe. To com
bat these causes this bill plans that
the Government make a fifty-fifty
contribution to the states, as it does
in the case of education, good roads
and vocation work, on the condition
that proper machinery be set at work
to provide physician, hospital and
nurse facilities, and all such help as
is necessary that every woman shall '
have adequate care and instruction
when her baby arrives.

Before feeding, warm the food to

the temperature of the milk by put

Although the annual holidays
are full of joy they are always some
what of a trial for the mother of a
family. The house must be littered
from top to toe with all the new pos
sessions which 'twere cruel to put out
of sight promptly. Excitement runs
riot, also knick-knack eating. Dis
positions follow suit, and presently
the household machinery is quite dis
organized. The noise and confusion
have frazzled Mother's nerves and
happiness goes glimmering.
But with wisdom much may be reg
ulated and adjusted. Certain facts
must be recognized and the program
adapted accordingly.
It is well also to remember that
little stomachs overloaded with tho
Christmas confections will need plen
ty of ' fruit, orange juice, apples, or
even a 'mild cathartic to bridge the
time of stress.
The managed holiday may be joy-
ous but the un-safe-and-sane one is
bound to end in calamity.
