If sla-ned by the Mayor, will prohibit men and women under the are of 21 from entering ynll rooms or cafes where liquor Is sold, unless accom panied by one or both parents or In the rase of a woman, by her husband. The ordinance Is aimed at a number of cheap grills and restaurants which are eald to bo wide open to you no; people. Tho measure met no resistance during consideration and passed by unani mous vote. Public service corporations were at tacked by Councilman Joy for their negligence In maktna; service exten sions to city suburbs. Mr. Joy sup ported an ordinance which he Intro duced requiring the telephone, gas and electric light companies to extend their aervlco at the rain of one block every ten days In districts where the service In required and requested. He declared the telephone companies especially are negligent In making extensions. This proposed ordinance was offset by the adoption of a measure by the Council authorising the Mayor to ap point a speclttl committee to draft a general ordinance for the regulation f public utility corporations. The committee will be appointed by th Mayor this week and an effort will be made to have an ordinance ready for the Council at Its next meeting. Ity Jnakela Reoamc. . The practice of appropriating city money for the Junketing of city offi cials was revived by the Council yes terday after a lapse of several years, when an appropriation of f 0o was mad to cover the expense of sending City KnalneiT Hurlhurt and Mayor Rushltaht to New Orleans to attetut the annual meeting of the Association for Standardizing raving FpeclnVntions. Since the Council was declared re cently to be the proper' city pardoning board, pardons for city prisoners have been numerous. In n:any casts par dona mere granted without proper In vestigation, It is said. An ordinance was pasaeU which will require every application for pardon to be accom panied by recommendations from the Municipal Juuge and City Attorney. At the request of Councilman Monks the oil storage ordinance which was up for passage was referred back to tne health and police committee. Councilman Monks said the committee desired a reconsiders t ton. The proposed reduction In city water rates for 1912, as recommended by the Water Board, was adopted by the Council.

Calf Make Lonf Trip Alone. 4VHITK SALMON". WaaJu. Dto. 17. 1 Special.) A little S-months-old calf THE LAND0F BOYHOOD Speculations About IU Hidden Mjr tertea and Won't-Tell Folk. So man young or old know what 1 ' j .,.. w W - Oni. Ijl . urj . nuitu. -.,,.- " - - he was familiar with the ritual, free of tho fellowship, understood the degrees and administered thorn to others. Sud- . denly he was expelled and he ha never barn abi, to get back In again. Hl , mind ruthlaly deprived of the mem- , ory of paesword, and grip, and obser vances, seeks In vain to recall them. Though he beat forever on the door It never will he opened to him. Nothing; Is more remote from the mind of the grown-up person than the apparently simple matter of the division of a boy's year. Phllnsophers have studied ami guessed, but they never have been able to explain why at one time boys play at marbles, at another time spin tops and at still another time fly kites, and why In every part of the world they abandon one pastime In a body and take up another. The boys know. They all know. But the rlsrorou freemasons won't tell. Are they bound by some frlBhtful oath not to reveal the se crets of their caste? Do traitors and Informers among- them suffer dread ful penalties? Is It possible that the sad little boys who are sometimes seen gloomily treading; their way through the Winter streets, wearing low socks and Trench berets or the velvet clothes of little Lord Fauntleroys with curls hanging down their lace collars is It possible that these are the Morgans of . this freemasonry, that this Is their fats i because they have communicated the , secrets ft their order? It must be true for no mother In her right mind would so punish her offspring. He wears the uniform of the outcast. Kvery boy's hand la raised against him. But If It is a punishment the punishment Is ex- cessive. No boy could. If h. would. communicate i : i 1 - ture. It would be more difficult for a boy of 10 to explain what he knous and thinks to a man of 40 than It would be for a Thibetan priest to elu cidate in his own language the mys teries of esoteric Buddhism to a Wall street broker at a quick-lunch counter. CHINESE HEADS MISSION rrrsbytcry Appoints Yonns Canton Man Ordination May Follow. N Mod Bo. a young Chinese from Canton, has bn ngaaed by the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyter ian Church to take chare. of the. Chin ese Mlxslon at First street. He applied to the I'rwsbytery yoeterday for ordination, and probably will either be licensed or ordained as soon as tha necessary credentials arrive from Can ton. Th ne-xt meotlng of the Presby tery will bs held th first Tuesday in March. It Is the belief of those In charge of the Presbytery foreign mis- j sion work that native. Chine can 1 work to be)tter advantage for their j countrymen than Americana j A Christmas entertainment, provided by the Third Presbyterian Church, was given at the. mission last night. The Hundsy School children of tha First Presbyterian Church had thalr Christ mas entertainment yesterday after noon, when the superlnte.nde.nt. J. F. Kwlng. entnrtalnd them with th ster eoptltMin.

JAIL FOOD INQUIRY BEGUN Marshal to Ascertain Whether Sheriff Charge Too Mnch. j To ascertain whether It costs too much to feed Federal prisoners in the County Jail Is the object of an Inquiry being made by the United 6tates Treasury lepartment after the an nouncement that Sheriff Stovens Is and has been receiving mors than his rlphtful pay for that service. Through several administrations the regular pay for feeding Federal prls soners by the county has been 60 cents a day and this was continued without question until a member of the Treas ury department found that Multnomah County was paying only 15 H cents a miil for Its prisoners, or i:.62V a week. This would make almost a dif ference of 1 a week and as during the present quarter the amount totals about 11000 for feeding the Federal prisoners In Multnomah County, It will mean considerable to Sheriff Stevens. I nited Slates Marshal Scott, to whom the Treasury Department referred the subject, has requested I'nlted States IMstrlct Attorney McCourt to Investi gates Mr. McCourt will consult with John V. Loiian. attorney for Sheriff Stevens. The contention of Sheriff Stevens Is that in addition to the meals la In cluded the use of the Jail. Its conven iences and care exercised for the safe keeping of the prisoners. , AGREEMENT TO BE TRIED City mnd Streetcar Company Officials to Meet Tuceda).
