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

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

"Oregon has only started as a woolen

"and the - Impressive thing about the
Industry at this time is that we are not
working on war orders; in fact, we are
turning them down. Ourbuslness and
largely that of other manufacturers in

new equipment which our concern and
the Portland concern bought at Marys

the W8r, but stocks were low prior to
1914 and when the call came from
abroad the shelves were soon emptied.
Then the mills were started at work
with renewed vigor, confidence was re
stored and a normal pulse character
ized the woolen industry.

"In the West the mills have pre

THE years have limned the counte
nance of Rev. T. W. Lane with a
stransre. vet not unnleaslng. stern
ness. 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

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

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.
The event of distinct interest of the
service was the singing of the Veteran

it was at the conclusion of the "cloud

when Elijah's prophecy of an abun

cup of discouragement.

fear of Jezebel's wrath, was likened

forces of righteousness and the forces

This phenomenon he exampled bv jmir-

the dart he punctured slander with.
He followed with an assault unon ma

He warned his attentive listeners
against the fallacy of a belief in lonely

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

uplifted hand, and in a clear and com

"In view of all that Is being accom

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

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

of this Nation from the landing of the

out that it was conceived in sacrifices.

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?"

PI ERRE, S. May IS. The mis

who areln Turkey have, since that
country engaged in war, been obliged
to leave many of the posts where they

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

American board, but many of them
refused to come and are doing what
they can there to help, looking for

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

grasshopper, which, when In good
health, consumes In a day ten times
Its weight In vegetation. No wonder
that whole districts are devastated by
