Is al most due to open, the preparations at the Festival headquarters are prac tically completed. The Imminence of the Festival will le borne In upon the people most forcibly when the decorations of the treats and Festival Center begin to go Into place next Sunday. Two days after that, on Tuesday Xilght, June 6, the electrical decora tions of Broadway will leap into light as Queen Muriel touches the master switch, and the Festival will be. on. The street decoration scheme this year will be more pretentious than any since the Elks Convention. Arrange ments have been made for a uniform garlanding of the streets in the busi ness center along the parade routes, and on Washington, Morrison and Alder. Big flower baskets will be in terspersed along the garlands, 20 to a block. ' Tho electrical decorations will cen ter on Broadway between Washington ana. Main, and the streets leading to the bridges and the Festival Center will be tied up with the principal buildings of the city in a general har monious scheme of illumination. Statues to Point Way. At Washington street, the entrance to the court leading up to the Festival Center, two great columns will be sur mounted by statues of Sacajawea pointing the way to the Festival Cen ter. At Main street, where the court turns off from Broadway to the en trance of the' Festival Center, two cor responding columns will bear replicas of the statue of the "Coming of the White Man." The columns will be Il luminated by a system of flood light ing. Across the. entrance of the Fes tival Center will hang a great electric al curtain, which at night will display a huge glowing rose. The Center itself will stretch along the Park blocks from Salmon to Clay. It will be in complete readiness to be opened on Tuesday night, June 6, for dedication, and for the coronation of Queen Muriel. The floral display in the Festival Center, more than 2.000,000 brilliant blossoms, will be grouped in the two blocks. Broadway will be closed to car and automobile traffic every night of the Festival, and the people will be per mitted to nossess the whole street from Washington clear up to Main. The Ualtee pageant on the closing night is intended to turn the whole Court of Honor between Washington and the Festival Center into a colossal ballroom for the costume dancing and festivities that have been planned. Queen Muriel and her court will make their headquarters at the Port land Hotel throughout the Festival, and a flotilla of floral ly decorated automobiles will be placed at her ser vice at all times to carry her about her realm during the festivities.

It is as though his determination to wage the fight to a final declaration of perfect peace had written indelibly of the will that wakes in his speech. Yet in that sternness of mien there is nothing fearsome for kindness of character stands behind it, like genii of gentleness Been through gaui- In the pulpit of his church, the .Cen tenary Methodist Episcopal, he preached yesterday morning on J'A. Lesson in Discouragement" a gray- haired, gray-eyed, Gideon lending heart 10 nis marsnaiea companies. From the 19th chapter of -the first book of Kings, Dr. Lane took the text that fitted his sermon like the gauntlet of -a mailed flgKting man. Israel had fallen in evil days, accord ing to the chronicler. The prophet Elijah had flouted King Ahab to his royal face, dared him with calamitous miracles and portentous prophecies. while the chosen people shuddered be neath the tyrannical reign and were much afraid. In the test of Elijah's powers with the host of false prophets, the prophet of the true God had won a victory that left the ministers of Baal stark in death. Jexebel Sands DefL By the fulfillment of Elijah's 'proph ecies, and the dread potency of his wrath. King Aha"b was driven close: to conversion Who has not heard of Jezebel, synonym of tigerish and lovely evel, who prevailed over the king, her consort? To Elijah the prophet she sent a. terse message, intimating that as he served the priests of Baal, so would she serve him. The threat was death, presumably In some wretchedly L-unwelcome form and Elijah knew Jez ebel for a woman of her word. The prophet lost his faith and dis couragement claimed- him. He fled, recounts the book of Kings, far from the court of Ahab and the vengeful vow of Jezebel. Prostrate beneath a juniper tree he asked for death to remedy his vast discouragement. "Elijah thought he was the only good man out of heaven," explained Rev. Dr. Lane. "But God said to him: "Get up and go about your business. I have 7000 in Israel who are as good as you; whose knees have not bowed to Idol atry, whose lips have not kissed Baair" Human Conditions Analysed. In the human cosmos there are two elements, the minister told his con gregation. They are clay and iron. One type of character is like the for mer, incapable of stress and easily broken. The other is strong, vigorous and independent, meeting the tests of life with resolute firmness. ' "A careful analysis would show that In all of us there is streak of clay." he informed his congregation with simple conviction, "however much there may be of iron. It manifested itself hi Elijah's discouragement when he went away to die. A prolific source of dis couragement is in a lack of faith, or a wavering faith. When a man's faith or a woman's faith, begins to waver or becomes .uncertain then they be Kin to lose strength." ' And as Elijah was weakened by the assurance that all Israel was an aban doned race, save he alone, so. Rev. Dr. Lane, argued, is experienced a loss of strength by all who doubt their fellow men. - Kaltn Declared 5fecesry. "You can set it down as a proposition that is true, beloved," he cast -at' them with fiery force, "that a man who loses faith In folk very soon loses faith in God!" Doubt ensues, and a growing cloud that eventually becomes discour agement. As for Elijah, so long as his faith endured, he was a good soldier, and fronted the wickedest king In Israel's long line of accomplished ty rants. "He flashed across the reign of Ahab Address Made by Wallace McCamant and Sonars Snngr by Q.nartet of Old Soldiers. i Memorial services at the Young Wo men's Christian Association were held yesterday at the vesper hour, 4:30 o'clock, with due form and a prevailing spirit of respect and honor for the men who had risked their lives In the Civil War. "They told us this was to be a pa triotic, rather than a religious service.' said Miss Jessie Burton, religious sec retary who presided; "but, I think It Is most religious, for true patriotism is a sacred thing and is Indeed religious.' Wallace McCamant gave the address In which he paid tribute to the veter ans of the war and urged his hearers to a broader and greater appreciation of the principles of patriotism. "The Civil War ended slavery, it established the matter of states" rights and was the means of opening up the field of constructive legislation that resulted in Industrial growth in this country,' said Mr. McCamant.

Dr. Lane, his gray eyes kindling with the splendor of that lone daring. "He was not afraid, although Baa sousnt nis lire Tor three years." The meeting on the plain, when the prophet fearlessly presented himself Derore the tyrant, was dialogued by the minister in modern parlance. Ahab, wiun an nis cnariots and spearmen, Elijah, with his gift of prophecy and his faiths dramatically posed before the congregation of Centenary Church. "Ah ha! You're the chap" that's been irouDiing isreal for a long time." the royal Ahab chortled In triumph. "Well, rwjs o (ui yuu now. Prophet Not Dismayed. The prophet yd not falter, or turn pale, or appear in the least discomfited. Rather, he spoke his mind to the op pressor. 'No, your majesty." was Elliah' re ply. "You're mistaken. You are the chap who Is troubling Israel!" He bowed the stiff-necked Ahab to his Will. it was at the conclusion of the "cloud as large as a man's hand" episode, when Elijah's prophecy of an abun dance of rain to the fevered land was luimiea, that Jezebel handed him the cup of discouragement. the, prophets establishment of . record in sustained flight, actuated by fear of Jezebel's wrath, was likened by the minister to the modern, man in the anecdote, who hid beneath" the bed to escape his wife's broom and to the command to come out renllorf "xr while there's a drop of manhood In me!" !

This phenomenon he exampled bv jmir- gesting that a drop of ink in . crystal glass of Bull Run water would uliv its purity, while several drops would render it unfit for use. "So th vii permeates the good," he asserted. Idle Gossip Assailed. "It is said that a lie will b im aiul leagues away before the truth gets its dooi3 on ana is ready to start, was the dart he punctured slander with. He followed with an assault unon ma licious gossip that left no question of his desire that the congregation take us memory to heart and home with them. He warned his attentive listeners against the fallacy of a belief in lonely self-righteousness, as it was with the discouraged Elijah beneath the juniper "Losing faith in God and the ultimate success or nis cause we become discour aged, said Rev. Mr. Lane, with depp certainty. 'But ir we calm our fears we win hear him say.

Belief In Better World Expressed. "The world Is better todav than vr before, and it will be better tomorrow than It Is today," was an expression of his own faith. For the first 90 years of missionary work in heathen fields, he declared, only 1,000,000 conversions were obtained; while only 23 years was required for the second 1,000.000; and today the conversion of heathen is going forward at the rate of 1.000.000 in every 12 years. Discouragement, he pointed out, was conquered to achieve this result. And he gave to his congregation his own formula for the maintenance of fnith gave it with the gesture of an uplifted hand, and in a clear and com pelling sincerity. "In view of all that Is being accom plished." concluded Rev. Mr. Lane, "the thing for us to do Is io put away our discouragement tajte courage, and thank God." Three Other Dignitaries Expected, and Subjects of Unnsnal Importance Are to Be Heard. Bishop William M. Bell, of Los An geles, Cal., is expected from Spokane, today or Tuesday, to open the Oregon conference of the United Brethren Church Wednesday morning In the Second United Brethren Church, East Twenty-seventh and Sumner streets. In the Vernon district. With him will come three important heads of that denomination Dr. S. K. Hough, gen eral secretary of the foreign mission board; Dr. C. Whitney, general secre tary of the home mission board, and Dr. A. S. Kiddell, of the church erection society, all of. whom will take part In conference proceedings. The Second Church,, of which' Rev. C. C. Bell is the pastor, will entertain ministers and lay delegates. The Chrls- Dajliglit Saving" Scheme Is Elec tive Tnder School Board Order. Matter Xow Is Taken Un der Consideration. Washington High School is the only one of the high schools in the city in which it has been definitely determined to adopt the "daylight saving" device of setting the clock ahead and opening school at 8 Instead of 9, according to the permission granted by the School Board. This rule will not go Into effect In Washington until Wednesday, since the students cannot be Informed of it until assembly this morning, and tomorrow will be a holiday. Princi pal H. H. Herdman said yesterday that it will most certainly be made effective Wednesday. Tho petition which resulted In the order from the School Board permit ting the high schools to adopt the daylight saving device, originated among the students and teachers of Washington, and in that school the sympathy with the movement is prac tically unanimous. j Jefferson High Delays. A year ago a similar plan was talked of in Jefferson High School, but was not put into effect.' There has been no agitation for it, particularly this year, and it will not be determined probably until after the assembly to day whether the Jefferson people will1 consider adopting the plan. Principal T. T. Davis.- of Lincoln, said that there had been no agitation on the matter in his school, and it will not be considered for adoption until definite information from the School Board is received. It is possible that no action will be taken on it before Wednesday, and it may not become ef fective. If adopted, until Thursday. Franklin High School, if it opens an hour earlier than it Is opening now, will have to commence its day's work at 7:30 each morning. Owing to the smaller : teaching forces, and limited room, it has been necessary in this school to have a day of eight periods Instead of elx, as in the other high schools. As a result of this arrange ment, the school has been opening at 8:15 every morning since the beginning of the present term. Plan Works Well. "The students have had no difficulty in getting there on time at that hour and it is quite possible that they will be in favor of putting It ahead another hour, in order to gain time on the other end of the day," said Principal S. S. Ball, yesterday. If the James John High School adopts the plan It will be In a modi fied form, according to Principal W. T. Fletcher. Owing to the long distances many of the students have to come to school. It is impracticable to' open at 8 lock, he said. It Is possible, how- that a system of opening at 8:30 ad of 9 may be Inaugurated. The "daylight saving" system au thorized by the School Board Is elective for the schools, and Washington High School Is theonly one in which a definite demand for the application of the system haa been apparent this sea son. Sermon Thoughts. "W1 E must deliver the goods,' said Rev. Alexander Beers, pastor of the First Methodist Church, in his sermon yesterday. He advised the church to be more practical and bus! nesslike If it would get results. His topic was "The Influence of the Per sonal Touch." The foundation for this sermon was taken from the s'tory of the Good Sa maritan. The following clauses were used as thetext: "But a certain Samaritan saw him had compassion on him. went to him and bound u his wounds, pouring In oil and wine." ' Rev. yMr. Beers said in part: "In. this age of theory and specula tion the practical is largely left out. Men will not be won to the church by platitudes or a mere system of re liKious philosophy or speculation. Effi ciency is one of the terms that is be ing wisely stressed at present. A com mercial phrase is "delivering the goods." "The church that will live tomorrow is the church that is practical and bust nesslike in Its operations today. We may sow In faith, but must reap In in duptry.

"Sowing in Tears and Reaping in Joy." was the oubject of the Memorial address yesterday morning by Rev. Wallace 11. Lee. president of Albany College, at Central Christian Church, in which he paid equal tribute to the blue and the gray. Dr. Lee drew a picture of this Nation from the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers on through the Revo lutionary and the Civil War, pointing out that it was conceived in sacrifices. suffering and death, but was reaping the reward in great joy. speaking of Memorial day Dr. Lee. said It had become more real, more significant and more important than ever before, and he believed that the Nation never can pay the debt it owes to the boys in blue and gray. They should receive the wreath now, those who live, from a grateful Nation, ha said. m m A lesson In loyalty to country, friends, kinsman, God and th right was given yesterday by the Rev. George Edward Lewis, pastor of the Highland Congre gational Church. Disloyalty, weakness, lack of patriotism and cowardice were censured by the pastor, who said in part: "David, the King, longed for a drink from his native spring, his soldiers to satisfy his thirst risked their lives to bring him a pitcher of water from the spring he loved: he realixed it was the price of blood, and so he poured It out upon the ground, saying, ?hall I drink the blood of these men? "Shall we drink the blood of Calvary? Deny Christ, lead hypocritical, selfish and un-Christlan lives, thus prostitut ing the living liquid that flowed out an eternal fountain for love-bound hu manity, after that centurion drew from the side of a Lord his Roman spear?" WOMEN IN TURKEY SUFFER Ietter Relates Hardships Kndured ly Missionaries. PI ERRE, S. May IS. The mis sionaries from the United States who areln Turkey have, since that country engaged in war, been obliged to leave many of the posts where they were carrying on their work and go to thev cities for safety. Miss Agness Fcwnea, a Yanktown college graduate, who had been sta- tioned in Mardin, was obliged to go to Slvas, together with other mission aries, and leave her Turkish girls' school In charge of others. Messages received here, though censored, show the suffering there. When war first broke out the mis sionaries were ordered home by the American board, but many of them refused to come and are doing what they can there to help, looking for ward to a return to ther duties. The school at Mardin. conducted by Miss Fenenga. makes .Turkish lace and sends the product to America Messages from Miss Fpn-nga have been received lately in this city, in reply to letters which took five months to reach her from Pierre. In her re ply she says in part: "It Is almost impo3iblo to get any thing from America now. I have much of the lace In Mardin and hope to get ' It to America some time. Five women are left In Mardin. Dr. Thom, who came with us, died here Dlcember 6. so Dr. Andrews and I feel very lonely. The long Journey and the thought of leaving Mardin were Very hard on Dr. Thorn. "Dr. Andrews and I long for per mission to return. ... I am putting In some time studying Turkish, and no one speaks or .understands Arabic here, so we cannot be of much use." In the same mail another letter from one of the five women left at Mardin. Miss Diantha L Dewey, was received here. This was written early In Janu ary, taking longer in transit than the Slvas message and says of the Mardin situation: "There is a great deal of sickness there and here. We are hav ing -an open winter." Some Hearty -Eaters. Tit-Blta. If a baby had the appetite of a young potato beetle it would eat from B0 to 100 pounds of food every Si hours. If a horse ate as much as a caterpillar, in proportion to its rise, it would consume a ton of hay every 24 hours. A caterpillar eats twice its weight of leaves every day: but a po tato beetle devour every day at least five times Its weight of foliage, every bit of which represents iust so much money to the farmer. The most de structive of all insects, however. Is the grasshopper, which, when In good health, consumes In a day ten times Its weight In vegetation. No wonder that whole districts are devastated by Its mulitudinous swarms. Blshoo William M. Bell, of United Brethren Chnrch.
