At 8 o'clock this morning the regis-i tration headquarters will be opened in the Rosarian room of the Chamber of Commerce. It will be found con venient to the elevator on the fifth floor. Registration will be In charge of E. N. Weinbaum. "It' is significant that rot a single declination of an invitation has been received from men who were dissatis fied with their participation in Buy ers' Week last year," said M. E. Smead, secretary, yesterday. "On the other hand, the merchants who came to Portland in 1915 have called on other merchants in their home towns and have urged them to come this year. Merchants Acknowledge Aid. "In some places newspapers have been unfriendly to Buyers' Week. The editors regarded it as a move to '.hog business for Portland. Our merchant friends have in many instances been able to change that opinion. They have called on the editor and explained that Buyers' Week is helpful t& them and that they get the benefit of consulta tions with expert and skillful men in every line of trade, whether they buy a nickel's worth or not. "It hae been made plain that Port land Jobbers and manufacturers are handling this event on a broad plan, and as a result there seems to be a better feeling everywhere." The secretary for the committee would not make any prediction as to the number of attendants, except to say that he believed it would exceed last year, when B89 were registered. Anyway Portland jobbers and manu facturers are ready this morning for 500 or 5000 visitors. Instead of being required to yank the latchstring, visiting merchants will find the door wide open at every place their inclination leads them to visit. 900 Factories Opt-n to Visitors. More than 900 factories o Portland will have the floors swept and be on the lookout for the men who want to "see the wheels go 'round." I The manufacturers believe that'when they can get their trade to investigate the plants, they are making progress. The up-state retailer at once compre hends the problems that the factory must work out. If it is an article of food, the dealer can see it made and know what to say to his customer about its cleanliness and nutrition. -If it is an article for wear, he secures first-hand information as to its make up. He knows how and where it is made, and can explain the proeess if necessary. "It will be surprising to many of our friends when they find that Port land Is making many articles which they have thought could be supplied only by Eastern firms," said David M. Dunne, one of the pioneers of Oregon manufacturing. "The Chamber of Commerce informa tion deck will tell them how and where to find any plant they inquire for." Kuril! rare Firm to Be Hoat. A side line of entertainment Is to be offered all visiting furniture dealers by the Doernbecher Manufacturing Company, one of the largest furniture manufacturing concerns in the West. F. S.

Portland is destined, in the minds of many persons, to become the great est furniture manufacturing center in the world, and it is the purpose of the plants now operating here to interest all dealers to the extent of having them inspect their 'factories. Yesterday's arrivals were from re mote points. Dealers from nearby towns will begin to reach this city this morning. Receipts for railroad tickets will be validated at-th'e Chamber of Commerce, fifth floor. DANISH OPPOSITION GROWS Majority of Rigsdag, However, Be lieved to Favor Islands Sale. COPENHAGEN, via. London, Aug. 6. While the belief still seems to prevail that a majority of ,the Rlgsdag ap proves the sale of the Danish West Indies to the United States, the agita tion against thus disposing of tha is lands appears to be growing through out the country, influential provincial papers strongly denouncing the pro posal. An open meeting of the Rlgsdag to discuye reaffirmation of the transfer was set for next Thursday. The con cession by the United States in agree- ng to recognize Denmark'3 supremacy over the-whole of Greenland generally is approved. Should the Rlgsdag ratify the sale of the islands the traasfer will be ar ranged rpeedily.

FIRST STIFFNESS IS GONE Two Evenings Weekly and Sunday Morning Club of Hard-Working Men Gatliers to XTse Equip ment and Take Exercise. No longer need Dad pine to be-a boy. so he can get out and play leap frog. yard-off or orop-the-hanokerchief, or any of the games of heydey youth. Working men in Portland have taken advantage of the extensive playground system in Portland and one of the new est evidences Is the establishment of the "Vasa Order of America." an ath letic club of Swedish workingmen, who, during -the week after 6 o clock and on Sunday mornlnsrs utilize the Dublic playground at the Forestry building at Twenty-eighth and Lpshur streets. Here 25 or more, tailors, mill hands, chaffeurs labor of various de scriptions, gather for their frolic when the office or shop Is not calling. A few weeks of the club has shown that tight tendons and stiff muscles soon answer the call of 'the playground. It' is proposed to increase the mem bership of the club to 50 and Clarence Toung, one of the instructors at the Forestry playground, hew the work In charge. He expects to develop some promising athletes out of the working- men available, and Miss Doty, instruc tor for girls at the playground, has plans for interesting the mothers In a similar activity. The men now are us ing the track and apparatus each Wednesday and Friday night and Sun day morning. They go through the paces in pole vaulting, shot put. high and broad jump, parallel bars and what not. Wrestling and boxing hav an in nlng now and then, too, with good re suits. The men. who all are hard-working men, at jobs requiring both skill and brawn, have gone into the club serious ly. They have met at the call of Fred Holmes and elected the following offi cers: Peter Olsen, president; N. IJahl strom. vice-president; John Ericsen, secretary; Magnus Ulin, treasurer, and G. Qvarnstrom, manager. John Hell strom was appointed instructor, and lie. Holmes field captain. Antoist in Crash Is Cut. Carl Oetxen, 67 years old. of 1665 East Burnside street, was cut about the face and hands by flying glass last night in a collision between an autoi. obile In -which Mr. Oetzen was riding and one driven by Ed Schmidt, 45S East Twentieth street, at East Thirty -ninth and Multnomah streets. Patrolman Myers escorted the injured man to the office of- Dr. William R. Laidlaw, who attended him. Mr. Oetzen was riding with E. Oet zen. 1119 East Eighteenth street North, and Mr. Schmidt was accompanied by his family. DrjvLaw Meeting Called. The Woman's Prohibition Club will hold its regular monthly meeting this afternoon In room A of the Central Library at 2:30 o'clock.

Mrs. Ada Wallace Unruh. president of the club, who has just returned from the Prohibition convention at St. Paul, will make her report and outline plans for the campaign. WAR BOOKS LOSE VOGUE AT LIBRARY Summer Taste in Reading Declared Variable ancT Opposes All Rules. Is 'HIGHBROW" TOMES IDLE Mr. Solid Business Man Slyly Snatches Wildest Detective Sto ries, "While VouUb Demands Poetry in Woods. PORTLAND'S TREND VS SUM MER READING. Sex novels rapidly falling? into discard. Mexican history little wanted. Books dealing with hero wor ship stay on library shelves. Business men caugrht reading" detective stories with avidity.. . Boys for once turn to standard authors. "Highbrows" often caught with "frothy trash" (so far as frothy trash ever Is found on Publio Library shelves). Summer vacationists turn to .books of romance. Society girls taking up English and French modern philosophers and novelists. European war books less in de mand than six months ago. Observation at the Publio Library the last week has revealed that war books have failed to hold public interest, that Mexican history is of little concern to anyone, .that the sex novels . are quite passe, and that "highbrows," so called, often take their afternoon li brary siestas in a corner, deeply con cerned with what close friends of good books would call "frothy trash." The ubiquitous small boy, with a penchant for dime novels and top strings, is not an infrequent visitor and browser along the standard au thors' shelf in the library reading room, but men whose brows have been ruffled up with care or whose temples have faded white In the wake of a career are often caught nibbling with avidity at detective stories such as are available in the Public Library. "Hero worship" is a lost art among the readers, if the observations at the public book storehouse can be relied on. There have been so many heroes the last two years that stories of their adventures have failed to hold public interest, or have failed to attain heights not heretofore mounted in the nctionist's imagination. - Riley Poems la Demand. Library attaches say the death of James Whltcomb Riley, humorist and poet, goes to prove once more that an author's greatest popularity follows his funeral. Although the perusal of histories pertaining to the European countries involved In the great war was given decided Impetus at the commence ment of the conflict, library statistics show that the demand for such works has dropped back to normal. For sev eral months after the opening of hos tilities the rush for such volumes was unprecedented, and at times the call for the productions of standard authors was greater than the supply. I cannot say that the decrease In the demand for European histories shows any abatement of local interest in the countries Involved in the strug gle." said Assistant Librarian M. Louis Hunt. "People are probably following the events of the titanic struggle with the same keenness as ever, but, they are probably using the newspapers and magazines more. Despite the rumors of war with Mex lco ana the National uuards presence on the Mexican border, there is but little demand for histories of the stormy sister republic south of the Rio Grande. In fact, the books covering the career of that nation do not seem to have any better circulation than the paper currency Issued by each sue ceeding governmental regime down there. Although the call for works of his tory has dropped to normal, the de mand for that sort of literature still continues to rank next to the call for Action. The latter still leads in popu lar fancy, despite the dark war clouds, and approximately 50 per cent of the books taken from the public libraries 'here are of the latter class. Just what style of fiction predoml nates in the call of the publio cannot beascertained in a statistical way, but the impression among attaches of the library is that the novels dealing with the sex problem that had such a vogue a short time ago are rapidly going into the literary discard. Averaae Demand Strans- "How the average demand runs In fiction," said an attache of the library, is a hard question to answer, espe cially during the Summer season, and we keep no statistics to guide us In answering such a query. Whether It Is cs.used by the heat or not, is some thing which I cannot say, but in the vacation season the literary Ideas of the general public run in strange grooves. For instance, last Saturday a small boy came In here and took a book by a standard author, which is considered one- of the best of the classics and he wanted It for his own perusal. "Within two hours a well-known citizen, procured a detective story that was" almost as wild and woolly as the old Nick Carter nickel detective stories that the boys used to read In years gone by. That's the way It runs. The demand is oftentimes for a frothy story, where you would expect to see a substantial work of fiction asked for, and a request for- something on the highbrow order from an individual that one would expect to read nothing but the most frivolous tales." SOCIETY SOCIETY enjoyed motor rides and"tn formal family outings yesterday. Several luncheons were served in shady nooks near the highways. Other groups had their luncheons and din-- ners served at Crown Point Chalet. Re cent visitors there were Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Reed. Mr. and Mrs. Phil "Mets chari, A. S. Benson. J. B. Yeon.

(WHIG RECORD SET TOtTNQ MCT SCALES THRE) MOUX TAIIf PEAKS IS ONE DAY. Three Members of Mohawk Athedlal Club Reach Summits of Mounts Chlnldere, Defiance, Greem Point. Chester Treichel. Dean Van Zandt and Clement Elkney, three members of the Mohawk Athedlal Club, yesterday hung up a new record In mountain climbing, scaling three peaks on a 16- mlle bike. There was rough country to be crossed for a portion of the dis tance, and an absence of trails some of the way. Mount Chlnldere.

THROAT BOTHERS BISHOP Iter. Mr. Hughes Itefralns From Speaking Engagements. Bishop Matthew Simpson Hughes, of the Methodist Church, will not nil any engagements until his throat is better. The bishop contracted a severe cold while attending the general conference in Saratoga, N.' T., last May. when he was elected bishop of the Northwest, and since that time his throat has been exceedingly painful at times, and. according to the statement of his phy sician, rest is the only cure. The bishop is acknowledged to be one ot the greatest orators of his de nomination, and there are many calls upon him for addresses and sermons, but all of these have been set aside of necessity, for the bishop is anxious to a:et his voice in good condition to do duty In the high office to which he recently has been called.
