Straw Hat Fudges Two
Weeks on Almanac.
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.

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.

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

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."

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."

CIVIC CENTERS IN DOUBT
SCHOOLS 31 .IV NOT BE ISED KOIl
fOllMUXITV MEETINGS.
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.
