NATIONAL THEATER
AMAZES THRONGS
Magnificent New Moving Pic
ture House Opened Infor
mally for. Inspection.
COLOR SCHEME BEAUTIFUL
Playhouse Is Crowded to Doors, Two
, Shows Being Required to Accom
modate . All Spectacle "Amer
ica." Is Presented.
The National Theater was crowded to
capacity Wednesday night when it was
opened informally to the friends of the
management. Fully 4000 persons saw
the programme, a second show being
required to accommodate the throngs.
From the standpoint of equipment
the- theater is unsurpassed by any mo
tion picture house in Portland, and
probably there is not a better moving
picture theater on the Coast. It is all
in .ivory white, buff and blue. The
colors blend into each other and the
result is a harmonious hue most rest
ful to the eyes. Over the arch is
wonderful painting representing peace
and liberty. The draperies, curtains
and carpets are all a soft, dull blue
and the chairs have the same shade.
The willow seats in the boxes are of
Ivory white.
Promenade la Popular.
The promenade on the balcony is a
new idea and was made the most of
last night when the guests rested in
the big, soft, comfortable chairs and
davenports between the performances.
The balcony, too, is in blue and buff.
Tha women's dressing-room and the
men's smoking-room in the balcony
are provided with every modern equip
ment A maid is in attendance in the
women's room.
A feature of the new theater is its
ventilating system. There are three
separate ventilating systems in the
theater, all of which are in use con
stantly, keeping the air fresh from the
screen to the highest point in the bal
cony. Another feature of the National Is
the "kiddies' " playground in the base
ment. There are dolls, Teddy bears
and dogs, toy dishes, sandpiles with
spades and rakes and shovels, swings,
chutes, hobby horses and countless
other playground essentials in place
for the youngsters.
Kids Enjoy Themselves.
Two maids are in attendance here,
BO that mothers may enjoy the show
and know that their babies are safe.
Dozens of children, who attended the
ehow last night with their parents,
were scampering toward the basement
as soon as they were turned loose.
(Shrieks of joy issued from the "lower
regions" and smiles spread over the
faces of the elders, who heard and
saw. In five minutes gaiety reigned
supreme. Sand was scattered to the
four corners and wheels, chutes and
everything else in the playground were
tried out by the youngsters.
The theater throughout was decorat
ed with big baskets of chrysanthe
mums, yellow and lavender and white.
They were artistically caught up with
fluffy bows of tulle that poised like
butterflies against the shaggy blos
soms. Great Picture Presented.
The programme began at 8 o'clock.
It opened with a short address by
Ueneral Manager Melvin G. Winstock,
who expressed his -appreciation of
Portlanders' hearty response to the in
vitation to inspect the theater.
Dr. R. M. Emerson followed with a
vocal selection which was received
heartily. Then the picture offering.
"America," came. This film was taken
In the big New York Hippodrome and
represents the largest axtravaganza
ever staged. More than 1000 persons
were employed in the making of the
picture. It is in 15 episodes, each sep
arate in plot and action from the oth
ers. Hundreds of pretty, clever danc
ing girls appear in the picture. Farm
scenes are so real that the spectators
almost forgot they were in a picture
playhouse, horses, cows and chickens
appearing like "regular" actors in the
marvelous photodrama.
V Swimming; Girls Amaze.
The world-famous Hippodrome swim
ming girls went down under water
right before the eyes of the astonished
tpectators and stayed there for what
seemed to be hours. Then they popped
up dripping and singing.
A comedy drama in one reel, "The
Peacemaker," with Vitagraph's pretti
est girls featured, was shown.
Miss Eva De V.urna, an attractive
sorano, sang two selections and won
an ovation.
The "National Trio" sang with '
frreat unity and ease. They were ap
plauded vociferously. "In the Candle
Litrht" was especially well sung.
The theater will be opened to the
I'ortland" public formally tonight.
ROBBERS IN, PAIRS BEAT 2
tsoutli Portland and Fourteenth, and
Irving Aro Holdup Scenes.
Two men were beaten and robbed
Wednesday night, each by two "strong
arm" men, who used the same methods,
but whose descriptions are not the
same.
C. A. Abramson, second- mate on the
Norwegian bark Urania, was set upon
by two men in South Portland late last
night, 1-adly beaten, kicked about th
head and robbed of $27. He was taken
to the police emergency hospital,
Joseph Yoacum reported to the police
that two men attacked him at Four
teenth and Irving streets, knocked
him down, choked him and robbed him
of J5. Both pairs of robbers were re
ported to be young men and unmasked.
MOTHER AND GIRL HELD UP
Two Highwaymen Force Woman to
Hand Over Her Purse.
Two younsr highwaymen held up
Mrs. C H Lasey and her daughter,
Maude, Wednesday night at the corner of
Twenty-sixth and Tibbets streets, or
dering Mrs. La-)ey to turn over to
them a silver mesh bag containing
about 12. The highwaymen were

ELEPHANT SPOILS TRIP
Anliuul Torments Trainer and Pas
sengers With Vnceasing Hubbub.
NEW YORK. Oct. 24. Charles. Mor
tyn, animal trainer, slipped ashore
from the steamship Mlnnewaska. which
arrived from Liverpool recently, just
as guiltily as though 'he had been
caught without an opinion upon the
causes of the war. He was hollow
eyed from want of sleep and when he
stepped from the gangplank ran to
the . office of the nearest truckman
and made arrangements to have a crate
which reposed on the after deck trans
ferred ashore at once. In the crate
was a baby elephant 15 months old.
Mortyn had a most unhappy trip.
The baby wouldn't permit him to leave
her side for a moment without making
trouble. If he did slip away to bolt
some food there came from the crate
elephantine bellows of displeasure.
The -custodian found himself socially
ostracized because the elephant in
sisted upon sobbing in the upper reg
ister through the dark watches of the
night. -It was shiverlngly cold In one's
pajamas on deck after midnight, so
Mortyn decided to remain in his berth
after the first few nights much to
the passengers' discomfort.
The climax came on Kniiriav -
tyn had found .himself so frownea
upon that he decided to attend church
.Z I "e thought it might soften
Liie uearts oi nis fellow travelers when
they saw that he was all right despite
his charge. So he patted the baby
and succeeded in quieting it. Then

until tne Rev. E. Seton Pat-
Then the elephant also started. No

Days Frolic for Guests.
ORCHESTRA PLAYS IN LOFT
Cnlque Costumes Bring Back Life
In Country, "Tones" Once Popu
lar Are Heard and Antics of
Rural Fetes Performed.
The harvest dinner dance given at
the Commercial Club Wednesday night
showed how much "city folks" enjoy a
good time served up in country style.
There were 300 middle-aged men and
women present, and the pranks that
they played or cheered would make the
average school boy envious.
The decorations and costumes were
features. The large dining-room of the
club was fixed up In Halloween re
galia and called Horace Ramsdell's
barn. Sawdust covered the floors; in
one corner was a boxstall; above, in
the loft, was an orchestra dressed in
blue jeans. They had to use a ladder
to reach the loft. Oil lanterns. Jack-o'-lanterns
of pumpkins, black cats'
heads, yellow corn, vegetables, hay,
straw, cornstalks and numerous signs
were suspended.
The tables were decorated appro
priately with Halloween crepe paper,
vegetables, flowers in tin cans and
nick-nacks. Bach person had a red
hatchet and a small flatiron to crack
nuts with and used them to beat time
with the orchestra.
Unique costumes were worn by W. J.
Hofmann. I. F. Powers, J. Fred Lar
sen, O. C. Bortzroeyer. Guy T. Ketch
nott, W. A. Cadwell. A. C. McMicken.
Thomas Swivel and W. J. Carkeek.
Each, with the exception of Mr. Swivel,
who was a dairymaid, was -dressed as
a farmer.
The women were not in the back
ground any minute.
The lighting was beautiful, especially
when moonlight dances were given.
bven the music entered into the spirit
of the evening and played out of tune
and in discord when some dances im
ported by memory from old days - on
the farm were attempted.
Mechanical toys danced the houche-
kouche in the middle of the floor, ac
companied by the orchestra. This was
followed by an old-fashioned quadrille
in "alum-and-left" style, William Cad
well calling the dance.
A prize waltz caused lots of merri
ment. Mesdames Frederick Jacobs,
Bert Farrell, Roy Fields and John H.
Hall were the judges. . Mr. Banford
Lowengart and Miss Florence Wolfe
won the prize.
W. J. Hofmann, chairman: I. Powers
and J. Fred Larsen were the commit
tee responsible for the evening's en
tertainment.
REGIMENT IS DESTROYED
CROIVX PRINCE'S FORMER TROOPS
WIPED OUT BY AFRICANS.
Withering; Fire Awolti Prussians mm
Force Approaches and Last Man
Drops Before Bullet Rain. ;
PARIS, Oct. 27. How a battalion, of
African light infantry practically wiped
out a regiment of the Prussian Guard,
the regiment which the German Crown
Prince used to command, is one of to
day's battle stories. At daybreak the
advance posts of the African battalion
had been suddenly retired on a couple
of villages which, naturally, must be
nameless.
Profiting by a thick fog. the advanc
ing Prussians had actually come into
contact with the African sentries be
fore their presence became known. As
the villages lay in an open plain, void
of all natural defenses, the Prussians
obviously looked forward to an easy
task. They were quite unaware that
for three days the occupying troops
had been so hard at work that the
place now fairly bristled with trenches,
barbed wire entanglements and other
obstacles to an enemy's approach.
jjeceived by the absolute silence of
the defenders, who lay in their
trenches, their fingers itching on the
triggers of their rifles, the Prussians
came on gayly. Their sappers were lust
about to cut the first lines of wire
wnen tne Africans opened a hot fusil
lade. The foremost rank of the enemy
dropped as one man. the second swayed,
the entire body were badly shaken by
the suddenness and unexpectedness of
the fire that greeted them.
According to the story, the Prussians
were shot down as they came, until
first only a company and then only a
section of that company remained.
Finally, there came the time when but
one man was left a sub-Lieutenant,
revolver in hand, monocle in eye. Pres
ently he also felL The attack had
failed; those who had essayed it had
been sacrificed to a man.
POSTMASTER WOULD QUIT
Colton Office's Parcel Post Korces
Store Out for Mail.
COLTON, Utah. Oct. 24. Lyman H.
Marble, merchant and postmaster here,
has retained an attorney in an en
deavor to be released from his official
position. His term expired more than
a year ago, but the Government has
failed to appoint a successor or to re
lease him or his bondsmen. The in
crease in mail matter since the parcel
post was established has caused him
serious losses. Marble says, and he has
been compelled to place his own goods
outside his store to make room inside
for mail matter.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. Postal offi
cials declared recently that Lyman
Marble need not bother to proceed un
der his counsel's advice in an effort to
get rid of his Government Job, because
his successor already has been ap
pointed. She is Mrs. Myrna Dangford
and as soon as she completes her bond
she will be authorized to take over the
Colton postoffice. Delay in relieving
Marble of his post, it was Baid. proba
bly resulted from a lack of candidates
and the inadvisability of closing -the
Colton postoffice.
PARIS DIGNITY LAX IN AID
All Fashions Go and Aristocrats Join
In Care for Wounded.
PARIS, Oct. 27. Parisians in general
are having rather a pleasant moment
of respite from the duties that fashion
imposes, and if it were not that many
of them have a sort of shame of en
joyirg such leisure and security while
their brethren are in the trenches and
exposed to all the horrors of an earthly
inferno, they would confess that they
had never spent so glorious a Summer.
We are no longer . obliged to attend
the theaters and be seen at the opera
and comedy on fixed days. If now and
again we enter a kinema it is our own
free will and pleasure, as in any other
ixuviucmi town.
Nobody "dresses" any more, to speak
of we get up and go to bed early and
!?? truly virtuous and patriarchal
life. The grandest and most fastidious
men and women rub shoulders anony
mously in public-spirited cares for the
poor, the sick and the wounded, and
new traits of character develop where
least expected. I met a man today, an
excellent good fellow "out of the
best" you would call him but who was
usually looked upon as an exquisite
who never needed to put himself to the
Dubu.cai inconvenience.
He is now a "brancadier on rcn.
lar duty for so many hours a dav and
night. "I have Just come from the Ritz,"
he said, "and, with another chap, had
to carry a heavy artilleryman upstairs
on a stretcher. His head was swollen
to twice its size and black. It was like
carrying a dead horse. I am no good
at dressing, so all I can do is stretcher
work and sweeping out the rooms. It is
all well for the other fellows to laugh
at me, but somebody must do these
Jobs."

I .OS DON". Oct 29. The correspon
dent of the Dally Mail in northern
France, dealing with the enormous
sacrifice and the devoted courage of
the Belgians, says:
"More than 10,000 have been killed
or wounded, which Is a . quarter of
their whole force operating in the last
battle. They have been defending a
slip of territory from Dixmude to
Nieuport, a region hardly bigger than
a big German farm.
"Nearly all their wounded have been
wounded In the back, but never were
wounds more honorable as the bullets
and shrapnel hit them as they ley
prone under the bail of the steel vol
cano. Their fate is the tragedy of
this war."

German's Allegiance to Vnited States

NEW YORK, Oct. 2,2. Because he
felt unable to serve Germany as a sol
dier, as he had sworn allegiance to the
United States, Albert Munding, a driver,
hanged himself in the vacant house at
94 Cedar street, Brooklyn. - where he
was found by Joseph Heiberger, a
friend.
Mundlng was 60 years old and had
been caretaker of the building where
he was found. Heiberger says Mund

his oath to Uncle Sam prevented him
fighting for his native land. He did
not appear among friends Friday or

LIGHTS TO CALL POLICE
Suburbanites of Baltimore Asked to
Put Red Globes in Homes.
BALTIMORE, Oct 22. Residents of
Walbrook and West Forest Park will
be asked to co-operate with the police
department if the motorcycle squad is
made a permanent arm of the depart
ment. The Board of Police Commissioners,
Marshal Carter and Deputy Marshal
House, are now working on a plan to
organize a motorcycle squad for the
Northwestern district.
The residents will be asked to allow
the use of their telephones and to place
a light on their homes. It has been
pointed out that with the private tele
phone and light system the police can
be greatly aided in their work in the
outlying districts.
Persons with electric lights in their
homes will be asked to allow a red
light to be placed In some position
where it can be seen by the officer on
the beat. The police station or resi
dent who wants an officer at short
notice will call up this house and leave
the call for the officer, with directions
as to where he is wanted and the na
ture of the case. The person who re
sides in the "resident station" will turn
on the red light. After the officer calls
the light will be turned out.
It Is proposed to ask the co-operation
of several residents on each post
to help work out the scheme. Drug
stores and places of business will be
asked to help. It is said that the light
scheme may be extended to other sec
tions of the city to places where
watchmen are employed or at allnight
drugstores.
Marshal Carter and Deputy Marshal
House are ready to receive the names
of persons who are willing to co-operate.
OVERCHARGE IS ADMITTED
Chicago Schools Pay Too Much for
Books, Is Brought Out.
CHICAGO, Oct. 23. A number of
book companies admitted recently at
tne nrst meeting of tne committee In
vestigating the prices on text-books
that they had overcharged the Board of
Education. One company, Scott, Fores
man & Co., sent a check to the Board
for 142.46. represeivtlng the overcharge
on xibbi.ss worth of books sold since
last October.
Superintendent Ella Flagg Young
proposed that in the future the Board
refuse to discriminate between the
"open" and "closed" lists, which have
caused most of the trouble. Nearly
all of the companies which admitted
they sold books cheaper in other states
than in Chicago excused themselves on
the grounds that the "closed" list pre
vailed in the other city, and that when
the book was once adopted it was
adopted without choice for a period of
years.
It was learned also that in some
cases where the Board is paying more
for books than is paid by the boards in
states other than Illinois the price to
Chicago was lower at the time the
contract was drawn. Since then, how
ever, a still lower price has been offered
to boards in other cities.
Ralph C. Otis, chairman of the com
mittee, recommended that all old con
tracts permitting this be renewed, with
a clause which forbids a future lower
sale in another city without lowering
the price in Chicago to correspond.
Dr. John Seath, Superintendent of
Education of Ontario, Canada, visited
the Chicago schools during the day.
RELIC TELLS OF WATERLOO
Ancient Papers Report Kali of Napo

NEW YORK. Oct. 23. O. G. Wood, of
Butte, has in his possession a number
of interesting' old papers almost 100
years old, says the Butte Daily Post.
One of them, a copy of the Inquirer,
was, in fact, published, at Richmond,
Va., on October 31, 1809. It Is a curious
old sheer, yellow with age, but well
preserved. Among1 the interesting: an

SCROFULA AND ALL
HUMORS GIVE WAY
There are many things learned from
experience and observation that the
older generation should impress upon
the younger. Among them is the fact
that scrofula and other humors, which
produce eczema, boils, pimples and
other eruptions, can be most success
fully treated with Hood's Sarsaparilla.
This great medicine is a peculiar
combination of remarkably effective
blood-purifying and health-giving roots,
barks and herbs, which are gathered
especially for it.
Hood's Sarsaparilla has stood the test
of forty years.

state-authorized lottery for the benefit
of the Baltimore Hospital. Through the
lottery it was proposed to distribute
$160,000 in prizes.
Chief of interest among these old
papers, however, is a copy of the New
York Evening Post printed August 2,
1815, and containing the first account
published in this city of the battle of
Waterloo. The story of the battle Is
prefaced with the following announce
ment: "We received from our corre
spondent at Boston by this morning's
mall the following important news,
which we hasten to lay before our
readers." The letter from Boston bore
date of July 31, 1815. It contained a
brief account of the battle, in which
Napoleon met his downfall, the news
having come over from England in a
ship just arrived at that port. It stated
that Napoleon had attacked the allies
on June 15, and that he had been over
whelmingly defeated on the 17th. News
traveled slowly In those days, and there
wasn't a great deal of it.
Mr. Wood has about 20 copies of the
New York Evening Post published in
181o. All of them are In good state of
preservation, and each is a curiosity.
Each contains four pages with a way
of presenting the notvs that would
seem strange indeed to the modern
newspaper reader. Among the an
nouncements of one paper published on
June 30, 1815, is an advertisement of
the steamboat Fulton, which invited
the public to go on several excursions
planned for July 4. These trips were
to extend over three hours each, and
each passenger's fare was $1. The
steamboat was a curiosity then, and
attracted great attention. The Fulton
was the pioneer of steam craft.
Each one of the old papers In Mr
Wood's collection Is an Interesting relic
of newspaper publishing long since
passed. Their owner prizes them high
ly, and has taken steps to Insure their
continued preservation.

Reader, Imagine yourself In a railroad
carriage, traveling over the 120 miles
or so that separate Ghent from Ostend.
In the train with you are some 200 or
3U0 women and children, with a scatter
i."?01 old men- There is a mother,
holding her baby to her breast and
starir.g with wide eyes ahead of her.
She is thinking of the child of 7. who
was ill of scarlet fever when the sol
diers came to their little town, and who
died of fright at the sight. So quick
was the flight that the little body had
to be left unburied in the cottage.
But it is not there now, for the cot
tage and the village are alike In ashes.
Children are nervous because they
inherit a tendency to nervousness, be
cause they overstudy or overwork, or
because they are run down physically.
Whatever the cause, nervous children
need careful management. Scolding
does no good and most forms of pun
ishment are harmful. See that the
patient does not overwork or over
study, give good nourishing food, suffi
cient out-of-door exercise and a safe,
non - alcoholic tonic Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills are the tonic for such cases,
harmless, sugar-coated and easy to
take- As the tonic treatment builds up
the child's nervous strength there will
be less demands on your temper, less
temptation to scold. When nervous
children get In "tantrums" put them
to bed. whatever the hour of the day.
If the paroxysm continues, glvo the
child a warm bath and return it to bed.
And persist in the tonic treatment
with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, the
nourishing food and the exercise. It Is
surprising how many nervous dis
orders are corrected by building up
the blood. Even St. Vitus" dance will
yield if you are faithful.
A book on Nervous Disorders will be
sent free on request by the Dr.
Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady.
