NIGHT SCHOOLS READY
MAXY COURSES ARE OFFERED AT
11XCOLX AMD JEFERSON- HIGH.
Clannrn Open to All, Irrespective of
Arc or Xativlty Scope of
Study Is Brood.
To correct a wrong impression of
the character and scope of the work
done in the Portland night schools,
that will begin their Winter activities
October 4, a statement of the studies
offered is urpred by school authorities.
In the Lincoln High, where the major
ity of the night students register, a
full commercial course will be offered.
In which bookkeeping, accounting,
typewriting: and business law will be
piven. Of the lanpuagres, French, Span
ish, English. German and Latin will be
in the curriculum, and college entrance
credits may be gained by, taking the
courses offered. Besides the languages
and commercial course, most of the
studies that are taught in the day high
schools will be offered. Physics, chem
istry and mathematics through trigo
nometry will be taught. Mechanical
drawing, navigation and perhaps do
mestic science will complete the
courses.
According to John C. Veatch, prin
cipal of Lincoln High night school,
160 men and women were enrolled in
night courses in that school last year,
most of them being clerks and business
men. "An idea is prevalent that the
courses are open only to those of high
school age and to foreigners." said Mr.
Veatch, "but age and nativity are not
considerations. The schools are for the
lise of the general public."
Work will also be offered in the Jef
ferson High School, and the School of
Trades for both the Voys and the girls
will reopen. A number of elementary
schools will have night classes, beside
Ladd, but no final decision has been
reached as to what ones will be used.
It is understood that Albina Homestead
nnd probably Vernon and Kenton will
he among those chosen.
PLAN TO AID IDLE URGED
Land Offers Solution, Says J. If.
Joyce, of Chamber f Commerce.
J. If. Joyce launched a movement in
the members' council of the Chamber
of Commerce yesterday to provide
means of placing the unemployed on
the idle lands of Oregon, so that they
may have an opportunity of working
out their own economic independence.
"If we can bring together the idle
land, the idle man and idle money,
the problem of unemployment will
solve itself." Mr. Joyce maintained.
He proposed a resolution for appoint
ment of a committee of 10 to work out
a definite plan.
The meeting of the members' council
next week will be devoted wholly to a
debate of the question prior to a vote
on the resolution. Speakers will be Mi.
Joyce. H. B. Miller, C. W. Hodson and
City Commissioner Baker.

CITY THANKS PARK DONOR
'Multnomah Fails'' Ultt Brings Tes
timonial to S. Benson.
. In behalf of the City Council, City
Attorney LaKoche yesterday sent a let
ter to S. Benson, thanking him for his
gift to the city of Multnomah Falls
and adjacent property for park pur
poses. The present was made to the
city by Mr. Benson last week, after he
closed a deal for the purchase of the
tract.
The Council accepted the gift and in
structed City Attorney LaRoche to pre
pare a letter to Mr. Benson, thanking
him in behalf of the city and the pub
lic. Mr. LaRoche's letter of thanks
reads as follows: -
The Council has directed me to notify you
of its action of the 17th in accepting on
behalf ot the people of the City of Portland
your generous gift of the property known
as "Multnomah Falls," and to acknowledge
thanks therefor.
This sift is not only for today but for
the future generations, and its real value
and the full measure of your public-spirited-ness
and generosity will be better judged
and appreciated -7 years from now than
at the present time. You have given lav
ishly of your time and money that the
natural beauty spots that seem rightfully
to belong to the people of this city, shall
be conserved to them, and their thanks
will be an ever increasing harvest of grati
tude to be garnered to your name and mem
ory through the decades to come. I feel
that words are too feeble to express the full
appreciation that time alone can give of your
action, therefore I ask you now, on behalf of
the people and the Council of the City of
Portland, simply to accept their deepest
and most sincere thanks. i
MILITARY PLAN OPPOSED
WOMEN IP IN ARMS OVER PRO
POSED SCHOOL. TRAINING.
Big Delegation to Be on Hand To.
night When Patriotic Organiza
tions Prevent Plea.
Storma of protest will confront the
representatives of the different patri
otic organizations when they argue the
advisibility of establishing voluntary
military training in the Portland high
schools tonight before the teachers'
committee of the School Board. The
clubwomen of the city have issued a
hurry call and indications point to the
possibility of a lively fight before the
issue is decided.
The clubwomen of this city kept the
telephones busy yesterday In an en
deavor io get a big delegation to be
present tonight when the teachers'
committee and the patriotic delega
tion meet.
Mrs. Alva Lee Stephens, president of
the Parent-Teacher Association, yes
terday declared that if she thought the
School Board members were entertain
ing any serious thought of allowing
the establishment of military training
in the Portland high schools she would
call a meeting of all the Parent
Teacher associations in the city.
Members of the School Board are
anxious to discover the sentiment of
the public before any definite action Is
taken. Members of the School- Board
are of the opinion that the question is
for the opposing factions to decide. It
is not for them to force the issue.
Beside the members of the various
women's clubs that intend to be present
at tonight's meeting patriotic organ
izations urging adoption of military
training will be represented as follows:
A. XV. Orton, United Spanish AV'ar Vet
erans; G. F. Blair, Oregon Naval
Militia; Colonel C. B. Hausdorf, Loyal
Legion; W. M. Hendershott, Grand
Army of the Republic; Dr. Kmmett

James Jackson. Sons of the American
Revolution; H. B. Millard, Junior
Militia. ,

The New Fall Coatings
JfQur )ress Qoods -Jadn't geen Qrdered geforethe ar
Curtailed shipments, it would be utterly impossible to sell at the prices we're now quoting. Wool is becom
ing scarcer every day great quantities are being woven into blankets for the soldiers. Mills that formerly
turned out novelty materials are now making blankets as fast as possible.
Dye stuffs, too, are complicating matters. Dyes that formerly came from France and Germany in quantities have almost disappeared
so altogether good woolen materials become rarer and rarer and prices are advancing almost every day.
We offer these exceptionally good materials many of them ordered before the war at "before-the-war" prices. See them today in our big
daylight section on the second floor!
