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. Volunteers may either call Miss
Ancion on the telephone at Main 2808
or see her today when she meets the
workers.
The patronesses for the day are: Miss
Henrietta. Failing, Miss Isabelle Gauld.
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.

CINCINNATI WANTS ROSES
'City of Pink" Movement Is Pat
terned After Portland.
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.
