Sunny Sunday Is Dazzling; In Spots W ith ltichocheted Rayw From Smil ing Sol. faC TRAW Hat day" and "Moving O day," which are supposed to come simultaneously May 1, appear to be irresponsible dates in Oregon, and the latter date not only Irresponsible but ecarcely well enough known to the general public to be popular. Straw hats bloomed out on the streets yesterday with preoocious de fiance of the almanac date for their appearance, which is not due for a couple of weeks. They did not, of course, appear as an epidemic, nor dot the landscape like a field of daffodils, but here and there in squads or pla toons under the soft April sun, one might observe the early straw hat, blossoming in all the splendor or a re furbishing or glowing with the luster of shop newness. May 1 may see the formal observance of Straw Hat day, but it will be a hol low glory, for the hardy Oregon straw has mushroomed out two weeks ahead of time and beaten the date makers to it. As for "Moving day," it appears that "every day is moving day" in Portland, for those who desire to move. "It isn't like It is in the East at all," said C. O. Pick, manager of one of the big transfer concerns of the city, yesterday. "May first and moving day meant a big rush of business in those sections. Here, however, people move whenever they feel like it, un restricted by weather conditions, and so the moving van's business holds pretty steady throughout the year. "In the East, Winter prevents them from moving for many months and when May 1 comes, with Spring, they are ready to burst out all at once and fly to new nests, leaving their ac cumulated Winter's garbage behind them." So with "Straw Hat day" robbed of its distinctiveness and "Moving day" an unknown feature in the sunny West, about the best that can be done for ex. citement a week from Saturday will be to squabble over who's to be queen of the May. SUBSTITUTEF0R OPIUM In the Treatment of Diabetes. A number of medical writers agree that opium (codeln) is their only agent to reduce sugar in diabetes. But due to Its inhibitions, it cannot be given in large doses or long enough and failure is the rule. We announce to physicians that Fulton's Diabetic Compound is more definite in its action on the sugar of diabetes than ODlum I and without any of the faults of the latter, having this distinct advantage it does not suppress but assimilates the sugar, and containing no poison or habit-forming attributes, can be given in sufficient doses and for a suffi cient time to get physiological results, viz.: complete absorption of the sugar in many cases. This gives the physi cian a free hand to aid it any way his judgment suggests. In people over 50 the disappearance of the sugar is com monly followed by .the gradual dis appearance of the thirst, weakness and painful, objective symptoms, recov eries being reported in many cases as a natural consequence. Substance of the formula surrounds each bottle. So mild that children take it. Thoroughly digested and assimilated. No cumula tive or after-effects. At all prescrip tion druggists. Literature mailed. John J. Fulton Co., 88 First street, San Francisco. Some analytical results can usually be looked for the third week. Adv. FILM THRILLS KEEN "A Man and His Mate" Is Of fering at Sunset. 'SNOBS" IS AT PEOPLES The Devil" at Columbia Great, Star Pictures Are Grim, Xational Plot Allegorical and Flays at Majestic Well Blended. With Henrv Woodruff, the famous star of "Brown of Harvard." playing the leading role In the Mutual master picture, "A Man and His Mate," and a special two-act Keystone comedy, Gussle's Day of Rest," providing fun a-plenty, an exceptionally attractive bill opened at the Sunset Theater yes terday. It will remain there for sev eral days. Mr. Woodruff is a great hit in the part of Harry Ogden. the varsity foot ball star, who gets Into bad ways and goes West to "straighten up." He steals1 a prominent citizen's horoe, the citizen and a posse give chase and prepare for a lynching bee. How it is averted, how Woodruff meets a beau tiful and charming young woman in the person of Gladys Brockwell, and how she first saves him and then makes him brace up makes a most de lightful and interesting photo-play. "Gussle s Day of Rest, a Keystone comedy, proved extraordinarily funny. The Mutual Weekly is especially good. 'SXOBS" IS PEOPLE'S LAUGH Effect of Sudden Prosperity Is Amusingly Told in Film. Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like Victor Moore in "Snobs," the new Paramount photo drama. ' founded on the play of the same name by George Bronson-Howard, that opened at the Peoples Theater yesterday for a four-day run. Imagine a poor milkman, used to getting up at 3 o'clock in the morning to deliver bottles of milk, all of a sudden finding he is the Duke of Wal shire with an income of 120,000,000. This is the ludicrous yet pathetic character Moore portrays in a manner that kept everyone on the eteady laugh yesterday. "Snobs" is also an Indictment of snobbery, yet, at the same time, it will be found one of the most delightful photo-plays seen here. Added to the programme are travel pictures of Seringham, British India; the Pathe Weekly, showing the Stanford-Washington boat race, and a car toon comedy. "The Police Dog." "THE DEVIL" THRILLIXG FTL3I Columbia Bill Is Balanced With Drama and Fun Maker. "The Devil," one of the most cen sured and at the same time most praised photo-play productions of the season, proved ' a great drawing-card yesterday at the Columbia. The play derives its title from its most conspicuous character. He en ters the lives of a group of people, an artist and his former sweetheart, now married to an elderly man. and the artist's model, whose lives are already in a precarious state, and before he leaves he has utterly ruined the tempted artist and the weak-willed wife. Bessie Bariscale. one of the most beautiful women on the stage, is seen as the deluded wife. Rhea Mitchell, the Portland girl, is the model, an other appealing character. The title part is taken by Edward Connelly. Arthur Maude plays the artist. Kathryn Osterman, the famous co medienne, is in a satire on hotel and rooming-house life, "Housekeeping Un der Cover." ' This bill will run until Thursday. STAR HAS ' STRANGE PLOT "The Whirling Disk" Grim Play of Several Gripping Situations. If you want to see' something eerie, something grim and out of the ordi nary, don't fail to drop in at the Star for the "Whirling Disk," a photo-drama Involving hypnotism, reincarnation and other weird happenings. A Great Dane hound becomes a man, a lovely girl (Cleo Madison) is terror ized almost to death, while an audience cannot help being gripped. In "The Girl of the Night." Pauline Bush, as a girl of the East Side under world, proves her' gratitude to her ben efactor. . yhose who lik to "see wheels go round" will appreciate the views of the opening of Universal City, the only town in the world devoted exclusively to the movies. Pictures are shown in the making. "Around the World in Ten Minutes" is a side-splitting cartoon-comedy, and "The Streets of Make-Belleve," a com edy of the powers of imagination, close the bill, which will run until Wednes day. - PATHOS AND LAUGHS DIVIDE Majestic Has "Anna Karenina" and "Officer 6 6 6" on Bill. . - Seldom has such a rare combination of drama and comedy been on the same bill as is seen in "Anna Karenina" and "Officer 666" at the Majestic Theater. Betty Nansen. the celebrated European emotional actress, appears in the drama, This is by far superior both in theme and acting to The Celebrated Scandal" in which Miss Nansen was seen here some time ago. Miss Nansen exceeds her own towering success as the wife and mother who was tempted and yielded in this play. Beautiful subtle emotionalism, such as only Miss Nansen is worthy of, makes this play stand out as unique. If "Anna Karenina" is drama, just as surely is "Officer 666" comedy. It is the crisp, decided sort of fun that has not a draggy 'minute and keeps the audience in laughter from the first reel to the last. Complications of the most laugh-provoking, gloom-defying sort permeate this farce. ALLEGORICAL PLAY ATTRACTS National's Programme Divided by Serious and Fun Films. Presenting a well-balanced 'bill yes terday, the National Theater played to large and enthusiastic houses. Head ing the bill is "The Story of the Blood Red Rose," an allegorical tale of the middle' 17th century, accounting for the blood red rose. "The Love Whip," a comedy based upon jealousy of a young married couple, pictures the extent to which Imagination may ruin married happi ness. "Ham at the Harem is a really clever farce comedy, and pictures that inimitable pair of rogues loose in the Sultan's harem. "A Night in the Jungle" was pic turesque and of splendid, photographic character. Joe Roberts, banjoist, as usual, was recalled often for encores. Today's programme is headed by "The n An Evening to Be To Business Men You owe II it Tsjpfer'r ISoon Lunch Unexcelled at 40c i 1 1 II V Ye Oregon Grille Hotel Orecom Broadway at Stark. Chas. Wright. Pres. M. When in Seattle stop at p a a White Mask," a three-act Lubin drama. Another good drama is "The Great Ex periment," a Selig feature in two acta A George Ade fable completes the pic ture bill, while Joe Roberts, banjoist, and amateur night round out tne pro gramme. CHAMBER REPAIRS BEGUN Work Being Rushed on Quarters in Commercial Club Building. Remodeling of the Commercial Club building to accommodate the offices and club quarters of the new Chamber of Commerce was begun Saturday after noon, immediately after the adoption of the plans submitted by Louis I. Thomp son, the architect. The staircase from the sixth to the eighth floor is to be relocated in the air court west of the elevators, and thus will make available much more floor space in which the office rooms may be grouped. On the eighth floor the court will be floored over and the banquet hall will be enlarged so that it can accommodate 650 persons. The office of the business manager and managers of the various bureaus will be on the seventh floor. The exhibits and Oregon development department will be maintained on the first floor. The checkrooms on the upper floors are to be rearranged so that the crowds may be handled with less congestion and delay when larger gatherings are held there. The remodeling will cost about $10.- 000. The contract has been given to McHolland Bros., and the work will be rushed so that the remodeling may be nearly completed by the time the reorganization of the Chamber is com pleted. TWO MOUNTAINS CLIMBED Mazamas, 0 6 Strong, Scale Cape Horn and Biddle's Butte. Cape Horn and Biddle's Butte were ascended by the Mazamas yesterday, a party of 96 making the climb under the leadership of L. W. Waldorf. Owing to the clearness of the atmo sphere a splendid view was obtained. The party left Portland at 8:30 yes terday morning on the North Bank line. Lunch was taken at the camp on the H. J. Biddle estate. The party reports that Mr. Biddle re cently completed a winding automobile road to the summit of Biddle's Butte so that cars can now make that trip. He has also encircled thJ top of the peak with a rock wall. 111 fcv Unmatched Record of QMnIife Of all death claims paid by us there has never been one case of mis understanding, dispute or delay.

PALACE LAUNDRY East 1030 Phones B 2113 DANGEHALL HELD EVIL MINISTER TELLS OF FLAXS FOR . COMMUNITY DANCES. Rev. F. K. Howard la Talk to First Presbyterian Church Class Out lines Committee's Proposal. That the dancehall had been com mercialized and that immorality has followed as a result was charged by Rev. Frederick K. Howard, chaplain of the Good Samaritan Hospital, in his address delivered at the meeting of the Current Events class of the First Presbyterian Church yesterday. The speaker told of the plans which had been formulated by a committee rep resenting the 'various women's clubs and similar organizations in tho city to establish community dances. The plan, he said, would do away with the commercialism and with the evil of total strangers meeting and dancing with one another. Rev. Mr. Howard said that the com mittee, of which he is chairman, hopes to procure from the School Board the use of one or more of the school build ings to try out the plan. "The conducting of the dances," he said, "we will put either in the hands of the Parent-Teacher Association or a epecial committee of residents." Rev. Mr. Howard scored the modern dances as being a step toward im morality. Speaking of the class of amusements which were now commanding the in terest of the American people. Rev. Mr. Howard said that we as a people were In danger of "spectatoritis." "Our amusements have become largely professionalized," he said, "and the great majority of us have become merely spectators. The result is that people are amused, but they do not secure recreation." RAILWAY PUSHING WORK Construction on Portland & Oregon City Line Progressing. m Construction on the Portland & Ore gon City Railway is going forward rapidly with several crews of men. The track has been laid through Milwaukie from the south side to Witte's Park on the north side. From Milwaukie to ward Portland considerable grading has been done.

FEDERAL AID IS SOUGHT State Health OfHcer Seeks Help to Kradloate Oregon Coyote. In a communication to the United States Biological Survey Saturday, Dr. Calvin S. White, State Health Officer, urged that department to expend a por tion of Its available funds In extermin ating the coyote in Kastern Oregon which is doing such deadly work In the snreading of rabies. The Biolog ical Survey will have an appropriation of 1240,000 available In July for use in the destruction of predatory animals, and Dr. White is of the opinion that a portion of this amount could not be more profitably spent than in exterm inating the coyotes of this state. "In order to put an end to the rabies our only hope is apparently in the erad ication of the coyote," said Dr. White In his communication. "The state has raised the bounty on coyotes to $3 and the State Board of Health has been doing what it could in an educational way, but apparently the problem Is too big for us to solve alone."

Fire Marshal's Objection to lur of Chairs In Halls Likely to Hold i p Equipment I'lircbsne. An opinion of Fire Marshal Stevens that the placing of chairs In assembly rooms of schools for public meetings is unsafe may result in the Scnool Board refusing to adhere to tho recently-enacted state law, which makes school houses civic centers for community meetings. Tho School Board has ap propriated money to purchase chairs for the buildings, but may withhold ths expenditure in the face of the objec tions of Marshal Stevens. The Legislature, convinced that the schoolhouses will make Ideal places for civic community meetings, papsed tl) law providing for their use. Ths School Board thereupon proposed to remove the desks from the assembly rooms and Install chairs or to provide for chairs in other parts of the bulldlnus. The proposition was put up to Firs Marshal Stevens, who declared that It Is unsafe because of the loose chairs. He pays that in case of a panic per sons would get tangled up In the chairs and there would be serious troublf. With stationary benches or seats, he says the danger would be less. The civic center Idea has been dis cussed in Portland many years. In many districts the residents have no other place than the schoolhouses to hold community meetings.
