I 2 5 i By unanimous vote the City Council yesterday passed the new traffic ordi nance which has been under considera tion for about a month past and which, makes a number of important changes in tiaffic conditions. The measure was passed with an emergency clause at tached, making it effective October 1. Various changes are made in the parking provisions, both as regards the parking districts and the methods of parking. Provision is made for a "pro hibited district" in which machines or other vehicles may stop during the daytime only long enough to take on or discharge necessary passengers or freight. Provision is made also for a "restricted district." where vehicles may not stop longer than 30 minutes within any two hours during the day time, unless the driver stays in the oar. Cnra May fiot Parle Here. The prohibited district In which parking is prohibited between 9 A. M. and 7 P. M. includes the following streets: Washington from Third to Tenth; Morrison from the west ap proach of the bridge to Third: north one-half of Tamhill from Fifth to Broadway; west one-half of Fifth from Washington to Stark; Broadway, Wash ington to Stark; Park, Washington to Stark: Park, Yamhill to Stark and West Park from Yamhill to Stark. The restricted district, in which cars may be stopped for not more than 30 minutes in any two hours between 9 A. M. and 7 P. M., inc4udes Alder from First to Tenth; First and Second from Stark to Yamhill: Third and Fourth from Pine to Yamhill; east one-half of Fifth from Washington to Stark; Fifth from Pine to Yamhill, except the west one-half between Washington and Stark: Sixth from Pine to Yamhill; Broadway from Washington to Yam hill: Stark from Third to Broadway; Washington from Third to First; Morri son from Third to Tenth. Longer stops may be made in this district it the driver remains in the car. Front "Wheel AiealnBt Curb. - The ordinance provides that vehicles parked shall be so placed that the front right-hand wheel shall be against the curb and the rear right-hand wheel not more than seven feet from the curb. This is Just the opposite to the present parking system. Carrying or moving of transparen cies, or signs larger han 36 inches square is prohibited in the "prohibited district." Vehicles are prohibited, while mov ing in the same direction, from passing at intersections. Also, all vehicles are prohibited from passing streetcars either to the right or left, when the cars are stopped to take on or dis charge passengers. At present they are permitted to go to the left. Under the new ordinance, no machine may re verse its direction except at an inter section. Vehicles lined up at corners, where traffic policemen are stationed, must have at least six feet between the vehicles. . Cars Stop on Neir Side. On all paved streets, streetcars are required to stop on the near side of intersections Instead of on the far side as at present. Persons under the age of 17 years are prohibited from driving automo biles. Persons are prohibited from posting signs designating where ve hicles may or may not be parked. Hitching -of sleds or wagons to auto mobiles or other vehicles is prohibited. All vehicles, including bicycles, are re quired to have lights, white on front and red on rear. The lights must be' so arranged that they will cast a ray at least 200 feet ahead, yet will not cast rays higher than 42 inches above 'the ground at a distance of 60 feet ahead. LAW IS NO RESPECTER Man Arrested for Parking Auto Be fore Employer's Building.

RESfME OX FIRST OF OCTOBER. Demand for Product, Declare Sale Manager, Makes Inroads Upon Supply on Hand. "We have not slowed down a bit In our selling activities, and do not in tend to," said J. E. Moore, assistant sales manager of the Oregon Portland Cement Company, yesterday In com bating the prevalent impression that the big- plant at Oswego would be closed down indefinitely as a result of the recent suit filed in the Federal Court charging the formation of a "cement trust." in which certain offi cials of the company are Involved. "Because we had a large surplus of material on hand, we did close down a part of the mill on September 1, but. in view of the renewed orders which are coming in daily, we have decided today to reopen the mill full blast on the first of next month. At the pres ent time we have 40,000 barrels of cement on hand. "The first car of cement did not leave our factory until June 9, yet we shipped 43 cars before the end of that month, over 6000 barrels, and we took future orders for 25,000 barrels more. In July the sales ran to more than 11.000 barrels, and In August to 20,136 barrels. Future contracts on hand at present call for 34.081 barrels."

Their Resources Gone, They Apply to Women's Protective Bureau for Employment., "We want work not- charity." This is the declaration of a mother who came to the Women's Protective Bureau yesterday afternoon. . With her is her daughter, a young woman of 20 years. From Des Moines. Ia., mother and daughter began the journey to their land of heart's desire, the West, more than three months ago. At the outset of the Journey, even, their funds were scanty, but their pluck more than rec ompensed. They literally worked their way across the continent, finding a few days' employment in a laundry at one place, or temporary positions In a hotel at some other. Always their objective was the Pacific Coast. Finally they came to Hood River. They were - given employment there, but only for a short time. Within a week or two their savings vanished. Undaunted, they set out to walk to Portland. They traveled by foot to Cascade Locks?- A kindly motorist overtook the resolute wayfarers. He took them out of the dust and they rode into this city. They could not find work. But when they entered the offices of the Women's Protective Bureau, there was no trace of travel or dismay in their manner. Neatly dressed, as though the dusty miles of the Cascade Locks road were powerless against innate cleanliness, they stated their case. The mother is a cook. The daughter wants work as dishwasher in the same establishment that employs her moth er. Or they will take work in a laun dry. Persons having situations to of fer are asked to telephone or other wise communicate with the Women's Protective Bureau. PASTOR BACK FROM TRIP Dr. John II. Boyd Travels by Auto Through Two States. Dr. John If. Boyd, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, has re turned from a six weeks' vacation passed in an automobile trip through out Oregon and Washington. Dr. Boyd said on his return: "What impressed me most of all was the fact that there is so much unoccupied space. In Lane County only 5 per cent of the land is under cultivation, according to a re cent survey. There is room here for many, many more people. Dr. Boyd enjoyed the outing and fished in several streams. After the Oregon trip he went to Washington, preached In the Stadium at Tacoma. visited Port Angeles, Victoria, B. C, and other points. The Olympic High way received high praise from Dr. Boyd. As a result of his observations he will preach on Sunday morning on. the subject "Why the People of Oregon Should Be Religious." Dr. Boyd will preside at the mid-week service in the church tonight. Forest Guards Laid Off. WALLA WALLA. Wash., Sept. 6. (Special.)
