THOUSANDS VIEW
CHRISTMAS ARRAY
40,000 Shoppers in One Day
Throng Stores to Select
Yuletide Gifts.
COSTLY TOYS POPULAR
Holiday Rush on. but Appeal to
Buy Early to Save Clerks Is
Unheeded This Year
Excels Last.
With elbow-room becoming at a pre
mium, hundreds of additions being
added to the sales forces of the vari
ous stores and all the Christmas finery
the city can boast now on the display
counters, the Christmas shopping rush
Is on in earnest.
There were from 30,000 to 40,000
shoppers about yesterday, and while a
laiT?e percentage of them .had not yet
passed through what the sales people de
scribe as the "rubbering stage, yet .trad
ing: was unusually brisk. The average
shopper seemed to have plenty of money
and was not loath to part with it.
Yet. up to this time, the humanitarian
cry of "Do your Christmas shopping early
and save the overworked clerks." does
not seem to be productive of marked re
sults. The male population of Portland
has not even commenced shopping. Of the
great rush of holiday shoppers about the
various stores yesterday It is a safe
estimate to put the percentage of women
at flu. 9. Now and then there was a man
to be met with, his arms burdened by
bundles, but it was a most unusual spec
tacle. Those of optimistic tendencies are
still hoping, however, that the men of
the city will get about the trying task
by the early part of next week. There
are others, shopkeepers at that, who say
they hardly look for any deviation from
the old rule of procrastination which
means that several thousand clerks will
' be far too badly exhausted on Christmas
day to enjoy the occasion to any consid
erable degree.
Costly Toys Popular.
The feature of the shopping, shopkeep
ers say. is the unprecedented demand for
costly toys. Toyland has undergone a
marked evolution even .within the last
year, so that the jumping"-jack and
wooden hobby-horse no longer suffice.
There are clever bewildering designs by
the hundreds, ranging from singing dolls
to electric cars, cars propelled by elec
tricity from the electric currents in the
house. While tops can be had as cheaply
as ever, the expensive ones have grown
more expensive.
The Yuletide idea now predominates
everywhere and the shopkeepers will
make only one more partial rearrange
ment of'their wares before Christmas eve.
This will be done Sunday, in many of
the stores, or after closing hours, for
there Is no longer a moment of relaxation
throughout the business hours of the day.
Just how much money Portland will
spend on its Christmas this year is a
problem hard to gauge at this date, but
shopkeepers, who have their fingers on
the pulse of business, say the expendi
ture will be from '20 to 50 per cent greater
than ever before. This is partly because
most everyone has more money in these
prosperous days, and mostly because the
lure of the more costly presents has be
come Irresistible. Anyone going out to
buy a specific article Is certain to run
tn to something just a little more desir
able and costing only a dollar or two
more. In the aggregate this spirit will
run into the thousands of dollars. And
it's not a- part of human nature, the
store people say. for those going after
presents to drop to cheaper ones.
At that the rush In toys has hardly yet
commenced, possibly for the reason that
toys are not difficult to select. It is In
presents for grown-ups that the traffic
Is heaviest. Only patience and some little
physical endurance can take the shopper
through the alluring mazes of the jewelry,
wearing apparel and novelty departments
of any of the big stores.
Array Is Puzzling.
"Where on earth did all the.i? toys,
novelties and things come from?" is a
question the shopper cannot get away
from in making the rounds of the stores.
The gathering of them was a more com
plicated process than the public is like
ly to imagine, the business people ex
plain. Toy experts, representing the big
ger stores, scoured Kurope earlier in the
year seeking novelties and new ideas In
toys. Buyers likewise visited all the big
cities of the Kast in the selection of the
Christmas luxuries.
One blic house reports the expenditure
of $100,000 In toys alone, the bulk of the
expensive ones coming from Europe; Ger
many in particular. These toys will be
pretty well cleared out by the end of the
holidays, the same firm predicts and the
big purchase was made on that predic
tion. Other big firms have put out large
sums of money on toys, while the cost of
Christmas specialties secured for this
especial season will run high up into the
thousands.
Good things for the Christmas dinner
are beginning to flood the public mar
kets. Turkeys and other fowl, great va
rieties of the finest fruits and vegetables,
young firs for Christmas trees and many
kinds of greens for decorative purposes
all prevail at the markets.
Many are getting ready for the Sunday
sojourn to the neighboring woods for se
lection and cutting of Christmas trees.
Thousands of Portlanders have for years
. made a practice of cutting their own
trees, and while the rapid spread of the
suburbs has made the pilgrimage a
lengthy one yet fine young firs are com
paratively easy of access, especially on
the hlltx west of the city.
While persons iipon whom fortune has
smiled in various degrees of warmth
are thus going ahead with their own
plans and shopping for the big day of
good cheer, scores of goodly workers are
in the midst of planning a merry Christ
mas for the city's poor. While the plans
have not yet matured it is certain that
toys will be provided for every poor child
whose address can be learned and there
will be baskets of food for poor fajnilies.
Christmas trees for poor children are
being planned, notably by the Salvation
Army, the various public homes for
children and by charitable societies.

HOTEL STARTS BOOSTING
Nortonia Contracts for 10,000
Copies of Rose Festival Souvenirs.
Contract for 10,000 copies of a colored
photographic souvenir booklet advertis
ing the Rose Festival was signed by the
Nortonia Hotel yesterday through Mrs.
Harry A. Hogue, proprietor. This is the
first order for hotel publicity which is
being developed by the Festival man
agement. Mrs. Hogue signed a check for
$1000 in payment of the brochure which
she expects to distribute not only among
all the leading resorts in this country
but she has arranged to have the souve
nirs on display at all the principal foreign
wateringijplaces and European resorts em
braced in' the usual itineraries of Ameri
cans abroad.
Other leading hotels have been nego
tiating for some time with a view of
getting out attractive literature for the
big show, next June, but just what it is
to be has not been determined.
"The publicity work of the Nortonia
Hotel," "said President Hoyt of the Fes
tival last night, "is in addition to the
cash contribution which will be given.
Every hotel in the city ought to do some
thing in the way of spreading abroad
advertising matter, and we earnestly hope
that a great many of them will do so."

EAT WHAT
YOU LIKE
If Your Digestion Is Good You'll
Enjoy It. If You Don't Enjoy
It, Take a Little Kodol.- It
Digests All Food You Eat.
We mean any kind of food. It makes
no difference what you may eat no
matter how difficult of digestion your
food may be for the stomach, a little
of Kodol will digest it. A tablespoon
ful will digest 24 pounds of food
easily and naturally, just as a healthy
stomach does. That is why Kodol is so
sure to prevent dyspepsia and the many
other serious ailments which result
from undigested food remaining In the
stomach. Indigestion and dyspesia
are always caused by food not properly
digesting in your stomach. When your
stomach cannot properly digest food,
of itself, it needs a little assistance
and this assistance is readily supplied
by Kodol. Kodol assists the stomach,
by temporarily digesting all of the food
in the stomach, so that the stomach
may rest and recuperate. Kodol is
really a very excellent preparation for
any digestive disorder. Our guarantee
Get a dollar bottle of Kodol. If you
are not benefited the druggist will at
once return your money. Don't hesi
tate; any druggist will sell you Kodol
on these terms. The dollar bottle con
tains 2Vz times as much as the 50c
bottle. Kodol is prepared in the lab
