PROHIBITION IS SUCCESS, SAYS CHUEjCH WORKER That , prohibition is a success, that the movies are morally a .failure though possessed of great potentiali ties for good, and that the divorce evil would be largely met through un iform national laws, was the opinion voiced by Dr. W- J- Johnson, in a lec ture at the Presbyterian church Thursday night. Dr. Johnson who is a member of the Presbyterian Board of Temperance and Moral Welfare is making a several months' tour of the northwest, and his lecture here is one of a series being delivered throughout the Pacific coast states. -Branding the publicity given to ex tensive violations of the prohibition amendment a3 "wet propaganda," Dr. Johnson stated that if the question were put to a national vote, 75 per cent of the people would cast their ballots for a continuation of the pre sent laws. "But the man who buys liquor is as bad as the bootlegger," he said. "The 'reputable citizen,' who buys hi3 moonshine should be classed with the I. W. W. and the an narchist, as should any man who is violating the nation's laws. This type of action serves to tear down the structure of constitution and its men ace is great"- Though voicing faith in the success of the Volstead act in general he pointed out the need for closer enforcement and for general I public approval of efforts to provide improved conditions. The solution of the movie question, the doctor said, lies 'in their improve ment, and their extended use along educational lines. "Morally," he said, "they are a failure, and are rapidly becoming more and more a messenger of vice and corruption. National cen-1 sorship should be provided to care for those cases where the people cannot be their own censors. Wider use of the motion picture in the school and the church will do much to stimulat its progressive development." The greatest step toward improve ment of domestic relationships, the doctor said, is the enactment of na-1 tional marriage and divorce laws, thus giving the uniformity so sadly j lacking under state supervision, There are, in America, forty-four causes for divorce. Under a uniform j statute, this, he said could be reduced to four with better result. One trouble, he pointed out, is that the general public condones, to a certain degree, unfaithfulness in martial re lations. "The deserter of a wife and children, "he stated," is guilty of the blackest crime. He should become an outcase along with the deserter from the army who is shunned by his fellows and one unworthy of their association. Laws dealing: with de sertion should be strict, not as mea sures of retaliation, but in the nature Of prevention." There are. he point ed out, more than a half million child ren in the United States, deserted by either one or two of their parents. The movement, under which Dr. Johnson spoke Friday night, is one being conducted over the entire na tion by the Presbyterian church. The work, he said, is primarily of an edu cational nature. Since the adoption of prohibition, the activities have been extended to include other moral questions, and the board has, for the past three years, used its influence in a diversified field. touching upon many pressing national morality pro lems. 10 HOURS CUT FROM TIME FOR SHASTA RUN On February 12 faster train sched ules will be put into effect on the Southern Pacific lines which will cut the runninsr time considerably be tween Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Some of the passenger trainn will be operated as fast or faster than duirng the pre-war days. The Shasta train again will become the Shasta limited and will make the run between Portland and San Fran cisco in 28 hours instead of 30 hours, which will still be an hour slower than the old Shasta's schedule. It will leave Portland at 4 p. m., as at present, arriving at San Francisco at 8:30 the following evening. The same schedule northbound will be fol lowed. Train 14 will leave San Francisco at 9:20 a. m. instead of 10:20, and ar rive Portland at 8:20 p. m., one hour earlier than now. One hour wil lbe cut off the sched ule of the Seashore express between San Francisco and Los Angeles. H. C. L. DOWN 1 CENT WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.

Oregon City, Ore. Something is the matter with the economic conditions of Oregon. The state was first to be settled in the west and last to match up with the progress of its sister states. Washington state has a population of 1,500,000. California enjoys a popu lation of 3,500,000. Oregon is trailing along with less than 800,000 people and a fixed overhead, better named taxes, that calls for some remedy to adjust. Men well versed in the art of adver tising; those having a vision for cap italizing new resources; industrial leaders who are familiar with the needs of trade and the unemployment situation, have sele"ted the principal of a national advertising program as the means by which to lift Oregon out of the mud and place the state in the path of progress. Analysizing the needs of the farm ing districts; counting the importance of opening new avenues of trade; plac ing Oregon's scenic charms before the traveling public, and discounting the theories advanced that Oregon would advance on account of its national re sources, has all been weighed and found in need of one big thing ad vertising. 1925 Held Opportune Just how to reach the great mass of people to set before them the mighty possibilities of the west, came like a flash of light when the Exposition ap peared on the horizen. The idea soon crystal ized when the plan was found feasible. A small group of industrial captains found a few obstacles in the way for holding an exposition. They quickly remov ed all conflicting dates; set about to gain national recognition by act of congress; tied in the support of the states west of the Rocky mountains that were in the path of travel by means of the many highways leading across the American continent, and behold, the preliminary work was done. The state is committed to the nation to present the first great peace demonstration since the close of the war, and what promises to be the most brilliant undertaking of its kind is accepted for Oregon In 1925. The financial scheme adopted calls for raising $6,000,000. Of this sum $1,- 000,000 is to be subscribed directly from from large corporations and firms directly benefitting; $3,000,000 from the state at large by means of a one mill tax over a period of three ye'ars, and $2,000,000 by a 2 -S mill levy on the property in the city of Portland covering a three year period. The financial plan means that Port- land will provide $4,000,000 of the sum total and the state at large $2,00'0,000, because Portland participates in the state election in addition to the city election thereby paying one third of the state tax on account of its dense population. The state tax is a nominal one con sidering the resultant benefits. The one mill levy on the assessable pro perty of the state means that a farm assessed at $1,000 will be called upon to pay $1 per year or $3 for the three years. On an assessment of $5,000 the tax levy is graduated at $5 or $15 for the three year period, payable in six installments. The first tax will fall due on April 5, 1923; the second in 1924 and the third in 1925. Care has been exercised to guard the taxpayers interests. A commission of represen tative men from the state will be se- lected to dispense the funds, and should there h a balance on hand at the close of the Exposition, the money will be returned to the treasury of the tax payers in proportion to the tax paid. It is planned to hold the state election at the primaries in May 1922. What Will the Exposition Bring. The natural question arising at this j tune win ne tne Denetus or a worm exposition in the state at this time? The answer is: Will it profit the farmer, the home owner, the merchant, the transportation line, the manufac turer, to invite the world to come to his community. The answer is obvi ous. Its the only way to lower taxes by inviting more people . to settle among us and pay them. More people is the only remedy to increase pro perty values. The tourist is the pioneer of develop ment. With thousands of miles of new highways leading into Oregon; with 12,000,000 automobiles having a great objective in the west to draw them, what will the harvest be from this re source alone? It simply means that mil lions of dollars wil lbe spent in tour ing the state by auto. Transportation lions of dollars will be spent in tour lines will inaugurate reduced rates, gon's great harbor and the marts of the world, bringing people to the state that otherwise Would never be induced to come. In short the Exposition plans, is nothing more than a great national advertising program that has for it3 object to advance the state's growth during the exposition period fully 25 years over its normal advancement. It is estimated by men knowing the value of advertising that Oregon will profit not only in financial gain, but increas- GAS BUGGIES Explaining the heavy demand for closed YOU GO OVEf? AND If Af?

Oregon's Farm Lands Fertile James -J. Hill, the great empire builder, said that ten acres of land apywhere in Oregon was equal to 160 acres in the Dakotas in point, of pro duction. This being the case why not capitalize the 3,500,000 acres of tillable land in the irrigated districts. Why not place the 15,000,000 acres of good idle land in the hands of th.e tiller? By adding 20,000 families on the lands of Oregon a conservative figure would place their annual crop returns to the state at $100,000,000. Would this not increase the taxable wealth and lower taxes? The $50,000,000 expended by the peo ple of Oregon in paving its 550 miles of hard surfaced highways will be returned to the state by the tourists attracted to the west during he pre exposition period. Long before the ex position open, the result of the ad ertising during the construction period will bring enough new wealth into the state to return the capital the taxpay ers provide. Solve Unemployment Problem The Exposition as a business and in vestment getter has no equal. The money provided by the people to fin ance the Exposition will be returned directly by the employment of labor and the purchase of material. The millions of dollars brought into the state from foreign countries will reach every branch of industry. The partici pation of the United States in build ings and exhibits will add additional millions, which total will reach $45, 000,000 as a direct investment. This coupled with the expenditure of those who will come by auto, train, steamers and airplanes, including dele- gates to various national conventions already planning to spending their va cation in Oregon during 1925, will reach up to $150,000,000, thus making the Exposition an investment, not a liability. The educational advantages to tne state and the Northwest is immeasur able . The 1925 Exposition will multi ply many times the effort put forth in 1905 when the Lewis and Clark fail was held. The outstanding feature of the 1905 fair proved that the state of Oregon had the vision, the ability and the hospitality to entertain and attract One feature ot the Lewis and ClarK fair alone was worth millions to the aatural resources of Oregon-its timber wealth. Not until the investors of the east were made acquainted with Ore gon's virgin forests by means of the famous Oregon Forestry Building (which still stands) did the people of the west realize what its standing tim ber resource was worth. The result of the Forestry Building alone brought capital into the state which is difficult to compute. Again the late James J. Hill saw a vision. When he visited the Lewis and Clark fair near its close he wandered thru the Forestry Build- I ing and was amazed at its proportions. When told it was representative of the hills of Oregon contained in end less quantity, that grand old man au thorized a concrete foundation placed beneath the building that it might bt preserved for all mankind to hold and enjoy, lie paid the bill for this work and the state of Oregon can thank j this empire builder, and the Forestry Building, for having unfolded to its eyes a new source of wealth from the primeval forest for the time. The ben efits seem to be good, at least for the present generations. In 1925 Oregon may look forward to j greater benefits thru its commerce by land and sea. With a vast empire of 225.000 snnarf mites hv tVio mightv Columbia river, the seventh ,.,,, j ti, nrH with an incom parable harbor and shipping facilities, what will the harvest be when direct steamship lines traverse the sea lanes between the mouth of the Columbia and Europe. The distance thru the Panama canal between the old world and the new has been reduced 8,000 miles making possible to ship the pro ducts from the farm and field by wa ter to new markets at a cost no great er than by rail over the United States. This is Oregon's opportunity This generation will never have a similar chance at international advertising. The state cannot afford to stand still. God has provided every resource. The rest remains in the hands of the peo ple. The spirit that prompted the pio neers to blaze the first trail of western civilization should be the clarion call to make the Exposition in 1925 worthy of the name and frame of Old Oregon. STEAMER SAID SUNK BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 23. T h e steamer Centennial State reported by radio last night that the new Norwe gian freight steamer Mod had sunk in mid-oceam. The message said that survivors were on board the steamer Melmore Head, but did not indicate whether any members of the crew were lost.

OPEN DOORS m BUSINESS Professional Housecleaners. New times and new conditions bring new business opportunities. Among these ia the business of Pro fessional Housecleaning. It is done by cleaners who visit their patrons regu larly and go over their house at so much an hour. They come with their own tools and vacuum cleaners, wash windows, wipe up the floors, clean the rugs and do all that is necessary to leave the house neat and clean. They will visit weekly or whenever called and have regular patrons. This business will probaly-increase as more women take part in business and are less at home to do their own housework. Domestic help, too, grows more scarce and, as all other occupa tions are being specialized, so with the weekly housecleaning. In cities, offices and apartment buildings are daily cleaned by professionals. The income from this work depends on the skill of the workers, the cla3 of people they serve, and the outfit required to, do their work well. It ranges from forty cents per "hand" 'o ssventy-five cents. The work is some times contracted for by a manager who brings her own help and pays them at terms arranged between them selves. In such, cases the manager makes something for the work, of her helpers besides her own labor. For the energetic and businesslike woman who is able to do such work there is better income in this occupa tion than in almost any other kind of housework. It may bs enlarged un til quite a business is built up. Finicky Appetites Parents who, as children, had hearty appetites cannot understand why children of today sit listlessly at table and don't like this, or won't eat that, and ask "Do we HAVH to "eat breakfast?" Perhaps the main cause of their food revolt is that we supply our tables too lavishly and with too much variety so that nothing is a treat any more. Persons who work in a bakery or at candy or ice-cream counters seldom taste the dainties they serve.

I A friend told me recently of being at a party of society women where the most delicious refreshments wers served 4ieavy salads with whipped cream and rich cakes and confections. Every one of those women was over heavy to begin with but they ate the whole menu and afterward some of them actually panted. I visited once a wealthy home where the scientific mother had consulted a child specialist about the food needs of her children and lived scrupulously No thieving finger iches For the litle I have left. I have no super-sense nor wit To dole out of my kind. The consciousnes of being IT Is not upon mind. No blue blood, running in my veins, Demands my artisocracy; But I can live without that pains In sociable democracy. No particular code nor patent creed Is shouldered onto me; But I can think as fits my need From entanglements quite free. And though you may not value much The negatives I boast, My small endowment is just such As really suits me most. by his directions. She fed her four rosy little ones at a table by them selves and the meal I saw them eat consisted solely of creamed peas on toast. They rolicked all the meal thru and ther was no coaxing and no complaint. The plan seemed to me a bit stern and unsociable on the part of the parents, but the sturdy children were proof of the wisdom of it. Long enough abstinence between meals will make the simplest food delectable. I had vainly tried to get my youngest child to eat lettuce on acount of the vitamines therein, but she would have none of it, until once, after missing two meals with a slight illness, a dish of merely salted head lettucg was brought 4o her with the caution to eat it slowly as that was all there was of it. Never had food seem ed more choice to her and now she asks for a generous serving whenever it appears on the table. I, myself, have the pleasantest recollections, of deli cious potato soup or mush-and-milk on chilly nights camping in the north woods. WTiat would happen in our house holds if we served simpler meals, mostly fruit, until our families got back to hearty appetites; and then kept the menu very frugal and whole some after that? Wouldn't it save a lot of time, and money, and diabetes and gout? The Efficient Mrs. Guild Simple, substantial, capable is Mrs. H. A. Guild, of Phoenix, Arizona, the first woman head of a State Depart ment,, being recently apopinted to supervise Child Welfare in her state. A wife, a mother, a club woman, a farmer, and a State officer, she has yet time to cultivate roses, a vast pro usion of them just for fun. Her lit tle farm of ten acres, Mrs. Guild manages, doing much of the actual work herself, while her husband and son attend to their work in the city. Six annlal crops of alfalfa, two each of strawberries and peaches, grapes in numerous varieties, butter and cream, contribute to the income Mrs. Guild extracts from her small farm. The soil is intensively cutlivated and Vi-ops so arranged that each month brings its own peculiar harvest and distributes the rush season so that the ; work may be managed with little out- sj,je help. WOMAM-I-TORIALS S Q Q g y 5 s A Honored For Service The Four women names, recently inscribed in the Hall of Fame, are ot women who have contributed gener ously toward the welfare or happiness of their generation. They are: Har riet Beecher Stowe, so influential in freeing the slaves; Frances E. Wil lard, the great temperence leader, Alice Freeman Palmer, educator and Charlotte Cushman, actress. Other such names, dear for the service they i cars. COPYRIGHTED have rendered, are Madame Curie, the discoverer of radiirm, and Julia Lath rop, who served for years quietly but efectively in the United Staes Chil dren's Bureau. Miss Ida Verdon, working her way up, first as tsenographer, then private secretary, has now been made manag ing editor of the Cosmospolitan maga zine.

Dr. Valeria Parker, a woman special ist on social hygient, has been chosen to make speeches at the various Health Institutes which will be held each for a week, in the leading cities of the United States during the next five months. THE WOMAN CITIZEN Investigating First Some women's Clubs are doing a fine thing in making visiting tours to factories and public utilities to knew conditions thoroughly before they lay out any program of welfare work. Wel afre work is needed; and they are noble souls who give time and effort to it. Equally benevolent and intelli gent persons often differ on methods and means and even what is and what is not "betterment." It is well to base all our enterprise on statistics and surveys, plus the personal touch, and common sense. Who was it said "Be SURE you are right, then go ahead?" After Independent Citizenship. The National League of Women Voters is about to concentrate on an effort to obtain independent citizen ship for women in the United States. Mrs. Richard Edwards is enthusiastic for this reform, having recently won out with it in her own state of Indiana. At present a wife takes the citizen ship of her husband. If he is an American citizen, she is! if an alien, then she is-an alien. Women feel that this is unjust and that every woman should be an American or ajien by her own birth or naturalization, regardless of the citizenship of her husband. Since the cause is based on fairness and backed by more than two million women, it is a safe guess that it will speedily suceed. ?
