POOL HALL LOSES LICENSE
Admission of Minors and Throwing
Balls at Policemen Is Charged.
The oft-enjoyed pastime of throwing
billiard balls at policemen is no longer
to be enjoyed by Jake Ooldstone, a pool-,
ball proprietor at 665 First street. He
was put out of business by the City
Council yesterday for being too handy
and too good a marksman with the
billiard balls and for allowing minors
to frequent his place of business.
Policemen reported that upon many
occasions they had seen minors In the
poolhall. Upon several occasions trouble
has been had with the proprietor. It
was declared that his usual reply to
police interference was a shower of pool
or billiard balls. His license was re
voked. OAKS' FIREWORKS TONIGHT

Don't bo alarmed If. in the next
few days, you, see whole squads of
men sauntering up and down the
streets with funny-looking red capi
about the shape of a woman's sewing
thimble, and not much larger, perched
upon the back of their heads.
They will not be members of the
Turkish army but merely soldiers in
the army of Shriners now headed for
Seattle where the annual conclave of
their order will be held, beginning
Monday.
Inasmuch as nearly every Shrlner
who goes to Seattle will want to go
to San Francisco too. Portland will be
the rendezvous for thousands of
nobles both before and after the con
vention.
It is estimated that more than 1000
Shriners will be in Portland tomorrow
alone. The Portland members have
worked long and faithfully to provide
entertainment for the guests. Chief
among the numerous attractive Items
on the programme are the automo
bile rides In and about the city.
Machines Needed for Trips.
The committee will need a corre
sponding number of machines to en
tertaln the 1000 visitors tomorrow.

HIS ENERGY FINDS A NEW OUTLET
No. 9 of a aeries
With mind intent on honest gain,
To swell his bank account still more,
He tackles now, with might and main,
That woodpile in the yard next door.
Money in bank, earned by honest, health-giving work is a
great blessing to anyone. People aren't so careless with money
when it comes with real effort. On the other hand, effort has
its compensations when frequent entries in the bank book are
witnesses of the rewards. And yet again, those bank book entries
are a lasting source of satisfaction to the money earner who sees
others fritter away their earnings. There is every argument for
Thrifty Alexander's system.
