IS THE MORNING OREGOTflAN. FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 1915. E (HI IS HOPE Visiting Nurse Head Urges Ef fort at Annual Meeting. WORK SHOWS BIG INCREASE More raUents Aided in 1914 With Smaller Force Than in 1913, Fund Shortage Working Hard ship, Says Officer's Report. To mark the close of a year of effi cient -work, tho Visiting Nurse Asso ciation held its annual meeting yes terday in the library. Mrs. Robert Dieck, president, presided. Tho mem bers elected to fill expired terms on tho board of directors were: Mrs. C. XL Gantenbein, Mrs. S. S. Montague, Mrs. A. A. Morrison. Mrs. Robert Dleck nd Miss Valentine Prichard. The elec tion of officers will be held May 3. The following reports, all showing: splendid achievement by the associa tion, were read: Secretary, Mrs. James I. Honey man: head nurse. Miss Emma Grlttlnger: treasurer, Mrs. S. Frank; tuberculosis committee, Mrs. Thomas Jloneyman; supply, Mrs. Kate B. Mather; nurse committee, Mrs. S, S. Montague; "One Day of a Visiting Nurse's Work," Miss N. J. Lackland, and nominating: committee, Mrs. R. J. Marsh. The president gpavo in her re port an outline of what had been ac complished along all of the lines in which tho association is working. Faithful Nnrsril Credited. ' The nurses to whom credit for un tirlnc faithfulness was given are Miss Grlttinger, Miss Lackland, Miss J. A. Kenney, Miss Josephine A. Sullivan, Miss Jennie M. Gassner, Miss J. An drews and Miss Stella Wilson. Miss Gassner Is paid by the Epworth League and Mies Kenney by the city, but both work in conjunction with the associa tion. Mrs. Thomas Honeyman said la her report of the tuberculosis work: "The last Legislature's policy of economy has worked a hardship on uh nnd the whole state, for it is quite contrary to our policy of education nlong lines of care and prevention to turn these tubercular people back on any community to be a possible source of infection. This we are often forced to do, having no other recourse." In her report the president eald In part: "We had hoped to raise enough money to enable us to enlarge our force of nurses as the growing needs of the city required. The abnormal year of 1D14, however, made it neces sary to reduce the force in order to conserve the funds. . TOO Pay Yearly Dnn. ' ' "There are 700 persons who pay yearly dues as members oV the asso ciation. They support the work. "The only organized work against tuberculosis In Portland is done by the Visiting Nurse Association. "We have on record for last year 9310 visits and 1817 patients, as against 1052 visits and 1396 patients for 1913, showing an increase of work in 1914, with a smaller nursing force. "An endowment fund would remove the danger at any time of having to restrict the work. It should be the duty of the board to aim toward such a fund." TAG SALE IS TOMORROW More Than 100 Girls to Solicit Red Cross Relief Funds. "Look for the Red Cross tag," says Miss Eva Ancion, originator of the Bel gian Red Cross .Tag day. More than 100 girls will be in the field tomorrow afternoon to sell tags for the relief of the wounded. Miss Henrietta Failing will be in charge of the funds. Miss Ancion is a Belgian. She will meet the workers today at 4 o'clock at the Rltz Hotel to give them their sta tions.

Mrs. J. G. Edwards, Mrs. James Laidi law. Mrs. Julius Loulsson, Mrs. W. Orelle. Mrs. William MacMaster, Mrs. .1. N. Teal, Miss E. Grellc, and Mrs. G. A.. Warren. PARKS ARE T0JJE GUARDED Public TJrged to Help Suppress Van dalism in. Flower Destruction. . . Steps are to be taken at once to suppress vandalism in the city parks. City Commissioner Brewster complained yesterday to the City Council that many Mowers and shrubs have been destroyed in Sellwood Park, Laurelhurst Park nnd In Hillside Parkway by persons either for the fun of destroying the plants or to get the blossoms. Mr. Brewster, in addition to arrang ing for the services of officers in the parks, has asked the public to co-operate to the extent of reporting cases of vandalism and assisting in the arrest and conviction of the miscreants. JOG SOON IS TO BE CUT Washington-Street Proceedings to Be Started Xcxt Week. The "additional method" of extend ing and widening streets Is to be used to bring about the widening of Wash ington street at Sixteenth street to eliminate a projection in the street. Proceedings for this will be started by the City Council next week. It is proposed to take a triangular tli-lp out of the street. The triangle at its widest point will be 10 feet. This will be at the Washington-street fire station. It will narrow down from this point to the first street east and west of the fire station. THREE FINED FOR GAMBLING Cases - of Three Patronizing Cigar Stand Are Continued. E. Goldsmith., arrested on a charge of keeping a gambling device at his establishment. Sixth and Alder streets, was fined $5 by Municipal Judge Stev enson yesterday. Goldsmith is said to have been operating a punch board. William Johnson and P. Bokish, ar rested on a charge of gambling, were fined $5 each. William Van Heusden, C. W. Carrlere and J. Carriero plead guilty to the same charge and their cases were continued for sentence. nomah County, at proposed by the road-bond issue of Jl.250,000, should be so worded that permanent residents of tho county would be given work, as far as possible, was the unanimous sentiment of the Montavilla Board of Trade at its meeting Wednesday night. A resolution was adopted to the effect that the County .Court be asked to insert this requirement in the con tracts. W. H. Hamilton. A. N. Searle. Burdette Thayer, Ham Rasmussen, Dr. William DeVeny, A. M. Humphrey, H. B. Dickinson. H. A, Lewis, T. B. Young, J. E. Adams and J. Thompson were ap pointed 'to wait on the County Com missioners and present the resolution. A special committee was appointed to take up the matter of paving East Gllsan street, between East Sixtieth and East Seventy-fourth streets, where the contract for hard-surface was let some time ago, but on. whieh nothing has been done. The committee will urge that the work be done at once. RIVER HIGHWAY LAUDED AOTEU THAVELEB CI.ASSKS ROAD WITH FAMOUS ONES. A. K. Bailey, After Trip as Guest of Mr. Benson, Smjn Scenery A Inns . Drive la America'! Greatest. There are four or five famous drives in the world, says A. E. Bailey, the traveler and lecturer, who is in Port land for a brief engagement, and one other that deserves to be famous. This one other is the Columbia River Highway between Portland and Bonne ville. Mr. Bailey took a trip over the new highway the other day as the guest of Amos Benson. Promptly he conclud ed that it belongs in the category with the famous boulevard between Nice and Minton in France, the boule vards along the Rhine in Germany, the famous Roman roads, the roads along the Nile in Egypt and the drive be tween Rawal Pindi and Kashmir in India. "While I know it would be pleasant to say that there is no scenery - on earth like that along the Columbia River Highway," said Mr. Bailey yes terday, "that statement would' not be true. But I know of nothing of equal beauty in America. "The Columbia River road belongs with the really great roads of the world. It is sure to become famous because of its natural attractions, but it deserves to be noted for its histori cal value as well." Mr. Bailey contends that the people of Portland and of Oregon should em phasise more forcibly than they do the association of Lewis and Clark and other historical characters with the Columbia Klver route. The Indian legends of the locality should be brought Into prominence, he says. Thus the road will frain a place in history and doubtless in fiction. That will make it popular with the tourists. Even now, Mr. Bailey reports, East ern tourist agencies are making ar rangements to send travelers over the road. The trip Is to be included in many of the sightseeing excursions organized in the East. Mr. Bailey himself expects to use descriptive ref erences to the highway in his future lectures.

Following the example set by Port land in rose culture, leading women of Cincinnati are back of a campalgrn to make Cincinnati the "City of PinJc Roses." Referring to the movement the Cincinnati Times-Star says: " "Can anyone imagine a prettier ef fect than street after street of pink roses, climbing over porches, fences and posts?' asked Mrs. Albert Krippen dorf. who, with Miss Ethel Wright, is leading- this work. "The iiea Is not ex actly a new one,' said Mrs. Krippemiorf. "We are following the plan which has made Portland, Or., a wonderful city of floral beauty. We have selected the pink rambler because a uniform color is desirable and we think it the most beautiful of the climbing roses. We are not asking the people to clean up, but we are asking them to plant.' " POUND CHANGE IS. SOUGHT Mayor to Propose in Council That Humane Society Have Charge. Submission to the voters at the June election of a charter amendment mak ing it possible for the City Council to turn the dog pound over to the Ore gon Humane Society is to be proposed by Mayor Albee in the Council this morning. It was proposed some time ago to have the city give up management of the pound, but the plan was dropped when City Attorney La Roche ruled that it could not be done legally. The measure which has been prepared by Mayor Albee provides that the Coun cil may enter into a contract whereby an organization which has been in business for at least 10 years may take over the pound, collect dog license fees, exert the police authority vested in the present dog pound and take complete charge of the pound.
