AUTO RIDE BIG FEATURE Over 100 Machines Are Provided and Trip About City Follows. Games and Luncheon on At tractive Park Blocks. The annual public opening of the Children Playgrounds on Park street, between Davis and Everett, which took place yesterday under the auspices of the People's Institute, was a signal mireess. and the day will be a long-to-be-remembered one for over 600 boys and girls. The afTalr was given by the women who have charge of the activi ties of the Juvenile department of the People's Institute, and recorded the formal opening of the public play grounds In the park blocks, an instl- iunun inaugurated three years ago. The appointed hour for the festivi ties to begin was 10 o'clock, but long before 9 the greensward -was teeming with hosts of animated children, and the shady plaza blocks rang with the ong and shout of unrestrained activi ties. No favoritism whatever was evi denced, and the color line had evidently never been drawn. Children of all ages, colors, size and condition romped merrily through a grand succession of events that must have made for them a red-letter day. Each section had Innumerable pleas ure possibilities. There were giant ewings. of the old-fashioned rope va riety, miniature merry-go-rounds, on which even the smallest child could pedal out his share of dizzy-joy; flying swings, mere modern "whirling jin nies," hurdles for the embryo athlete, tag, leapfrog, running, jumping, hurdl ing, feats of skill and daring In flving trapeze and horizontal bars, stllt walking, never-to-be-forgotten see saws, and small "teeters" for the younger ones, vaulting grounds, sprint ing courses and last, but not least, great sand piles where hosts of the wee little ones played happily. A fountain In the center of the block was well patronized at all times of the day's eventB. and the larger girls were little mothers In providing drinks for the youngsters too short to reach the faucet. Every possible contrivance and feature had been prepared for the chil dren and these informal delights were allotted to the two blocks between Pavls and Flanders streets. Girls Join in Races. The girls occupied the rose-banked block between Couch and Davis, where a riotous, happy day was spent in sports, handball, potato races, basketball, run ning, jumping and gymnastics. The boys played baseball and participated in vari ous other athletic sports. The names and exercises of the morn ing were in charge of a committee head ed hy Miss MUdr-ed Raab. assisted by Miss MllHe Schloth, Frank E. Watkins and Krtgar Frank, of the Multnomah Athletic t'luh. The playground committee which managed the festival consisted of Mrs. Charles E. Ijldd. Mrs. W. B. Ayres, Mrs. William Blddle, Mrs. Henry Iadd Cor bett. MIrs Mary F. Failing and Miss Val entine Prltchard. Various institutions contributed a share of the guests for the day, among which were the children of the People's Insti tute, including newsboys, kindergarten members, as well as the older children of this Institution; several from the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society, the Detention Home, the Juvenile Court, Jewish Neigh borhood House. Associated Charities, Vis iting Nurses' Association and the Fruit and Flower Mission. Because there is an epidemic of measles at the Children's Home, the youngsters from that insti tution were unable to participate In the festivities. Attracting unusual attention were the chariot races, in which amateur Ben Hurs, in red sashes, drove their fiery steeds, who were other lads with sprlnt- ' ing powers. The course was around one of the big blocks, and the race was highly ' exciting. Not least In Importance was the refreshment booth, gay with flags and bunting, where in plain sight stood a long row of yellow tubs, holding In all B0 gal lons of ice cream. This, with the addi tion of thousands of small cakes and sandwiches of all sorts, formed the dainty noon repast and the hungry children crowded about, their appetites whetted by the strenuous events of the morning, and did more than ample justice to the fare. Mrs. II. S. Butteriield and Miss Mabel Wetdler were in charge of this feature, with nearly a score of young wo men from the Flower Mission as assist ants. Ttand Plays All Afternoon. One of the Important features was the music, donated by a band from the Mu sicians' Mutual Association. ' All after noon, gay strains and lively tunes emanated from the bunch of melody dispensers on the bandstand and the chil dren, especially the masculine portion, hung In droves about that section of the ground, whistling or s'.ngtng accompani ments In shrill falsetto. Hut the piece de resistance of the gala day was the big treat of an automobile ride for all the children. At 2:30 o'clock over I machines, donated by private in titviduals and public concerns throughout the city, were on hand. On either side of the block the children were lined up an eager, shouting throng, waving flags and enthusiastically awaiting their turn. As fast as one machine was filled and started on its way with Its load of smil ing. singing young.'tcns, another big car would dash up, Uie patronesses would rapidly and systematically single out the next in line and the car would be filled in snort oracr. rue ride consisted of a lour or an tne prominent streets and a long glorious spin through the park be fore returning to the playgrounds. Everv child enjoyed this treat, many for the nrst time In their young lives as was at tested by the shrill gurgles of excited laughter and bits of conversation heard on nil sides. Many of the youngsters were accom panied by their elders, and a large crowd or on-lookers lii.ed all sides of the screened park blocks. The festivities stretched out until nearly 6 o'clock, and it was almost dusk when some of the older participants bade good-bye to the fcenes or a truly royal romp in Boy and vriri una.

At this point the river came up .3 foot. At points above and below there was a decided fall. At Portland the Willamette Is slowly falling. In the basements along Front street there is from 18 to 40 inches of water and this is already sending forth odors which are unmistakable. The .fall in the Wil lamette will be gradual. i Dorsey B. Smith, general agent of -the Open River Transportation Company an nounced yesterday that the Steamer J. N.

That all this is invented Is a greater miracle than stilling a tempest or hushing & wave. The independence of treatment of . .wrlter of the .four gospels indicate. that they are not copyists Each narrative has its own character, but the writers make a picture of Jesus which the ages delight to admire and revere. The four copies of the portrait vary In expression. The writers cannot be called Inaccurate, for they do not aim to be complete, but content themselves in select ing facts to relate, and axe not burdened by chronology. They have something to say. unlike many writers who write well enough but pathetically they have nothing to say. They picture the same tenderness, the same sympathy, the same eagerness to help the IenT is harmony. He who cannot find harmony in what he calls contradic tions of expression will bore into them with his little gimlet, and he will not fling awav his gimlet while he can bore The record of the miracles need not trouble us. for miracles are merely con trary to ordinary experience. I would soon er believe that Jesus rose from the dead than that the story of his resurrection started in illusion. What Jesus said Is of more worth than what he la said to have done In mighty works, and because his mir acles are subordinate to doctrine, and point to the mercy, the expansion, the errand of a kingdom of love, they are creditable The recorded miracles ot Jesus had more' worth to the day they were performed than they have now with us. After we become ac quainted with persons, we do not read their letters of Introduction and recommendation. The miracles Introduce and recommend at the start. The transforming power of Jesus Christ upon history Is the supreme miracle of time, all unbllnded eyes may see. B. J. HOADLET.

Until traffic be The very groat majority of persons need a tonic in the Spring or earlv Summer. The system undergoes a change at this season and the entire physical machinery is disturbed. The general bodily weakness, a tired, worn-out feeling, fickle appetite, poor digestion, a half sick feelinir and a general run-down condition of the system, show that the blood is weak or anaemic, and a blood purifying tonic is needed to build up the deranged system and enrich the blood. The use of S. S. S. at this time mar save you from a long spell of sickness, and it will certainly prepare you for the long, hot Summer. Many people have put off using a tonic until the system became so weakened and depleted it could not successfully throw off disease germs, and have paid for the neglect with a spell of fever, malaria or some other debilitating sickness. S. S. S. is Nature's ideal tonic. It is a composition of the extracts and juices of roots, herbs and barks which science and experience have proven are best fitted for a tonic to the human system. It contains no minerals of any kind and is therefore perfectly safe for persons of any age. S. S. S. tones up the stomach and digestion, rids the system of that tired, worn-out feeling, and imparts vigor and strength to every part of the body. It purifies and enriches the blood, stimulates the secreting and excreting members to better action, quiets the over strained nerves, and makes one feel better in every way.

Mysterious Robert Strahorn and his equally mysterious North Coast Rail road have resumed operations. From Zlllah to Parker, small towns south of North Yakima, grading operations have been' commenced and the contract let for 16 miles of work. Parker is one of the points at which the North Coast road comes In conflict with the Northern Pacific and there were several suits threatened regarding contesting claims for rights of way. Apparently these have been settled amicably. Strahorn and his backers have evidently some idea of surmounting the Cascades by electric power, for water power rights have been obtained on the Cowlitz River and flumes are now being built that will give the water a drop of 800 feet, generating 30.000 horse power, which is amply sufficient to haul the heaviest trains over the severe grades en countered. Following the recent suits at which Mr. Strahorn has been an unwilling wit ness, railroad men are Inclined to believe that these two actions indicate some pos sibility of continuous progress on the building of tne line.
