MAYOR FAVORS DAY DAHLIAS 12 Varieties of Oregon Raised Dahlias, While Any Remain, Each 10c-3 for 25c" Meier & Frank's Mail Order Service Renders Splendid Satisfaction H. R. Albee in Sympathy With , Go-to-Church Sunday. THREE SPEAKERS ARE TOLD Rapid Strides Being Made in the Remova Theaters, Merchants, Professional Men and Women Continue to Vol unteer Assistance Everyone Is Taking Xotlce. 20 Sale "I am in hearty sympathy with the purposes of the 'Go-to-Church Sunday.' The city will reap general profit in the form of better citizenship, in my Judg ment, if the present plan brings about a system 'of regular attendance for any number of people, resulting, as it will, in a better understanding of our neigh bor. Certainly no harm can come to one in going, and it is my positive conviction that it will be the exact op posite. I sincerely hope that everyone who is able to do so will attend. The move is in the right direction and de serves every encouragement." These are Mayor Albee's sentiments regarding the much-talked-of Sunday. Mrs. Frederick Eggert, president of the Portland Woman's Club, is among the enthusiastio supporters of the "Go-to-Church Sunday" movement. Mrs. Kggert said: "We were in Denverwhen the day was celebrated there, and from our hotel window could see the throngs going to church. The interest was in tense. The. results were most gratify ing, and the good influence of the cam paign has. I hear, been felt ever since. 3 think church-going is a good habit. Those who go will find some message, some inspiration, some help. I heartily indorse the movement." Good Manic Promised. "We always have good music and jrood sermons," said Dr. R. N. McLean, pastor of Anabel Church, "and - next Sunday will be as good an opportunity as any for our friends to see how well we manage our church services. We will make them welcome. -We hope they will like us and come again." The presence of some distinguished speakers in the city will attract the attention of many who will be espe cially interested in their addresses. Dan Crawford, an independent Afri can missionary, commonly called "the Apostolic Successor to Livingston," will be heard -in Portland at three services on Sunday. In the morning at 11 o'clock he will speak at the White Temple; in the evening at 7:45 at the First Con gregational Church, and in the after noon at the Young Men's Christian As sociation, t Mr. Crawford will tell of his experi ences in Africa, where he has been sta tioned for the past 22 years. These services will be some of the big "Go-to-Church Sunday" attractions. Mr. Crawford is a brilliant and elo quent speaker and he has an interest ing message to tell. He interprets to the American people the problems of the African. Author-Missionary to Speak. As an author Mr. Crawford is well known through his book, "The Think ing Black." He has translated the New Testament into one of the African lan guages after reducing that language to written form. His American tour has attracted wide attention. He will speak in Salem and probably in Albany on Monday and at Pacific University on Tuesday. Another celebrity to appear in Port land on Sunday will be Mrs. Catherine Booth-Clibborn, who will speak at the White Temple on Sunday night. She is an evangelist of international fame. As the daughter of General Booth, of the Salvation Army, she inherits many of the splendid characteristics of her world-famed father. Out in the suburbs, a mile and a half south of Lents, the Battin Sunday school, which was started a short time ago, has arranged to have special serv ices with a good speaker for "Go-to-Church Sunday." The theaters, merchants, professional men and women continue to volunteer assistance. "Go-to-Church Sunday" is making every one take notice.

DOG MUZZLING TO COME UP Majority of City Commissioners Said to Favor Ordinance. Dog muzzling may be required, in Portland after tomorrow. At the re quest of the City Health Officer,. Com missioner Dieck will introduce an or dinance tomorrow providing muzzling all dogs In the city. It is considered certain the measure will have suffi cient backing to be passed, although Mayor Albee is opposed to it. The question was up for considera tion yesterday and the attitude- of fitate Health Officer White in regard to furnishing treatment to persons bitten by rabid dogs was attacked by Com missioner Bigelow. The City Health Officer said Dr. White had announced no serum would be furnished city pa tients unless the city enforces the dog muzzling ordinance. Mayor Albee says his opposition is .based on the fact ! that it has been impossible up to this time to get a iatieractory muzzle and the fact that Dr. White has said the state would furnish no serum unless the city passed the muzzling ordinance. He says he considers this a threat which Dr. White cannot enforce.
