Portland Industries.
Industrial floats -will bo admitted to
the fraternal. military and civic pa
geant, the morning- feature of June 9.
closing day of the Tenth Annual Rose
Iesti-val.
When plans for this event were first
made it was decided to eliminate in
dustrial features from the parade.
Prizes will not be awarded to firms
or business houses entering this di
vision. There have been so many inquiries
lately regarding this feature of the
parade that the festival management
has decided to admit industrial floats
in the pageant. These floats will have
a. prominent part in the feature.
However, the entries must be built
in an attractive manner and highly
representative of the company or firm
taking part in the parade. The dis
tribution of advertising matter or sou
venirs will not be permitted and no
firm will be allowed to enter a string
of wagons with some simple decora
tion. Some business houses have submitted
plans for floats that will prove attrac
tive additions to the big parade. In
each instance the floats represent orig
inality and weeks of planning.
Portlaj d business houses look on
this event in the annual festival as the
rreat moving shop window of the
year, for thousands of people are
crowded along the line of march with
their attention directed to parade fea
tures. The result is that the story of
the city's industrial life, as depicted
by the various industrial floats, is told
to multitudes, including both local and
Visiting shoppers.
"We have Lad so many inquiries re
garding this division of the parade that
wo have decided to admit the indus
trial floats," said Dr. A. K. Higgs. di
rector of the event. "The floats must
represent the firm or corporation en
tering thtm," he continued, "or they
will not pass the board of censors.
"This parade offers an excellent op
7ortunity for Portland firms to enter
floats depicting their activities, but
these floats must be up to standard.
Long string of wagons will not find a
place in the parade. Each entry will
be inspected and must be attractive,
unique and represent a sincere effort
to provide something of interest to the
thousands of people who will view this
leature of the show.
HYGIENELUNGHEQNSEND
SERIES CLOSES AT CHAMBEIt WITH
APPEAL FOR SUPPORT.
Boalntu Men Asked to Aid Klght
Against Plague Which Costa
State Much Money.
The last of a series of three lunch
eons for business men was held at the
Chamber of Commerce yesterday noon
under the auspices of the Oregon So
cial Hygiene Society. W. F. Wood
ward presided Monday. Adolphe Wolfe
presided Tuesday and E. B. McNaugh-
ton presided yesterday.
The aims and methods of the society
were carefully explained. Among the
epeakers was Dr. W. D. McNary, su
perintendent of the Eastern Oregon
fitate Hospital for Insane. Dr. McNary
tsaid that, according to the most con
tservatlve estimates, venereal diseases
were costing the state in the care spent
upon the unfit $200,000 a year. This
estimate, he said, does not include the
money spent in county and city insti
tutions; it aoes not include doctors'
bills and hospital fees, to say nothing
or trie economic loss to the individual.
He said that the state must provide
proper sex Instruction for the young.
Dr. Calvin S. White also spoke, de
ecribing the work of this society.
Among the guests were: S. B. Hus
ton, Lloyd Bates, John Pearson. W. M.
Ladd. Robert Livingstone, Vincent
Cook. A. H. Averill, Henry Teal, Hor
ace D. Ramsdell, James Mcl. Wood, Da
vid S. Stearns, A. Feldenheimer, George
Lawrence, Jr.. J. C. Bayer. W. W. Cot
ton, W. P. Olds. George W. Joseph,
Julius Meier, F. C. Malpas, F. I. Fuller,
Amadee M. Smith, M. E. Crumpaclter,
B. C. Ball. It. S. Howard, Dan J.
Malarkey, J. P. Rasmussen, H. L. Raf
ferty and George L Baker.
Mr. MacNaughton explained that the
society was doing a work of conserva
tion far more important than the con
servation of trees, minerals and live
stock. Mr. Wolfe appealed strongly for
the moral support of business men in
the fight the society is making against
one of the most serious plagues af
fllcting mankind.

The last ballot or the last cent for
the purchase of ballots in the contest
for Rose festival Wueen must.be in
at the headquarters tomorrow night
by midnight, for the contest closes at
that hour and the final count will be
commenced.
Supporters of out-of-town contes
tants may telegraph or telephone their
final ballots or funds in to the head
quarters, but ballots that are mailed
and reach Portland after midnight
Friday night will not be counted.
Two judges are to be named to can
vass the votes. They will be selected
from outside of Portland.
The campaign win . probably wax
hotter today and tomorrow than
any previous time, for only those two
days remain in which to cast ballots
and the contest is still doubtful, with
a chance for almost any one in the
field to win out in the last day.
Six of the contestants now record
more than 1.000.000 votes. Mrs. Maud
Gilman, of the Grand Army of the Re
public, having jumped into the million
class yesterday, when she took sec
ond place in the race.
Mildred Pegg, the Vancouver candi
date, was first in the last count yes
terday, and Lillian Hendrickson, can
didate of the Foresters of America,
dropped to third. !
The committee handling the cam
paign of Miss Louise Taylor will hold
a final dance tonight at Murlock Hal,
at Twenty-third and Washington
streets.
Other local candidates are planning
special means to bring in funds for
votes on the closing day and the bal
lot for the winner may run to two or
three million at the end of the con
test. Many candidates are holding
back ballots to cast in a lump on the
last day and this is likely to produce
a startling readjustment of standings.

Rural Carrier Forced to Return to Uae
of Hone and Realdenta Are
- . Up In Anna.
VANCOUVER. Wash., May 17. (Spe
cial.) Owners of private cars who de
sire to take home a package, a sack of
oats, or sugar, or anything except a
human being, must take out a license
for a truck, or run the risk of going to
jail and in the end investing in the
higher-priced license.
As a result of the visit of a deputy
from tbe State Auditor's office, a storm
of procest has been aroused against the
technical enforcement of the laws re
lating to automobiles.
Several of the rural carriers have
light machines -which they have been
using to deliver the mail instead of
using horses. By doing this they are
able to deliver their mail in half the
time and as a result the farmers along
the route are able to get their morning
papers before dinner.
Along comes a deputv and stops all
of this by demanding that the owners
take out licenses for trucks, which "ill
cost them, $10.
Bennett McGreevey. a rural carrier,
desired to take home a sack of oats
to feed his cow, but not having the
proper license, was compelled to drive
a mile to his home, harness a horse
and drive to the store after the oats.
Nor -Is this the worst. He had been
completing his route by about noon and
the patrons were much pleased with the
service, but he had to return to the use
of his horse, and it is now 4:30 to 6
o'clock before he reaches the end of his
route.
