HUPP? CHILDREN
GET HIGHWAY TRIP
Calanthe Pythian Lodge Is
Host to 240 Youngsters
at Auto Party.
PICNIC LUNCH FURNISHED
Little Ones See Multnomah Falls,
Frolic at Bonneville, and Inspect
the Fish Hatchery Use of
Cars Is Donated.
Bobbins ourls, smiles and yells of
eostacy plus about 85 automobiles full
of cheer and youngsters, highway
bound, proclaimed yesterday morning
that it wasn't half bad to be Just a
"kid." For Calanthe Lodge No. 21.
Knights of Pythias, was host at a Co
lumbia Highway party to Bonneville, at
which little folks who haven't automo
biles were guests.
Approximately 340 children, not only
from the community but from various
sections of the city, gathered at the
temple, at Klllingsworth and Alblna
avenue, at 9, and after the line of
automobiles, donated by citizens of the
community, had been filled, the happy
procession left for the scenlo trip.
There were in that happy lot little
ones whose automobile rides were
about as frequent as Christmas; little
ones who never even expected to see
the Columbia River Highway, and some
little tots to whom the jitney was an
unusual luxury. The mothers were In
vited to come, too. They chaperoned
the little ones. Several mothers had
babes in arms besides a flock of lively
children. An attempt was made to put
families into the machines In groups.
Colored Children Happy.
One of the happiest groups in the
whole party was comfortably lounged
In the car of Captain C. E. Baty. Every
one of them were little colored folk,
and their happiness was shown by ear-to-car
smiles. Drake Jackson drove
the car, and the little ones were cared
for by the mother of one of them.
Captain Baty stayed till all were safely
off then followed in his runabout.
Preparations had been made to take
about 200 children, but so many more
came that the lodge had to order four
more cars to take them alL. The Flske
service car was donated to accompany
the party, and even that was pressed
into service as a regular passenger
car. Comfortable seats were brought
from the lodgerooms and placed in the
car, and six boys rode "behind the
bars." H. L. Anson and R. Davis had
charge of the machine.
Rev. G. C. Love, a visiting Congre
gational minister from Los Angeles,
came in his big machine and filled it
with little tots. There were ever so
many "good fellows" of the lodge and
community who came to the front for
the youngsters. Miss- Pearle Harnols,
daughter of A. D. Harnols, drove her
father's car with seven children In it,
and had the honor of being the only
woman who drove.
Ride Variously joyed.
The long string of autos swung out
on the highway, accompanied with
shouts of excited children. Some loved
the sound of the motor, others went
Into spasms of rejoicing over the
scenery, and still others sank back In
blase enjoyment of the luxury of the
big "machines" and pretended that they
were millionaires. Counts or Queens,
who had nothing In tho world to do
but enjoy the Columbia Highway and
automobile rides. And. in the words
of one enthuslastlo little boy, "It was
sure some boat and a ride for life."
Of course, they stopped at Multnomah
falls. They they climbed under the
falls and stopped long enough for the
little ones to Impress upon their minds
one of the most beautiful sights they
had ever seen. When they arrived
finally at Bonneville they were unani
mous in a vote for food.
The Townsend Creamery had sent a
truck early in the morning with ice
cream and cream, and laden also with
all the other food that had been do
nated by various merchants and pre
pared by the women of the families of
the Knights of Pythias and the Pythian
Sisters. Picnic style, the mothers and
youngsters nocked about the "spread"
and enjoyed a wonderful picnic dinner,
at which various prominent Pythians
and the wives acted as chefs and
waiters.
Mothers Enjoy Rest.
During the afternoon the children
played games and visited the fish
hatchery. Many of the mothers who
came with their children entrusted the
little ones completely to the Knights
of Pythias, and,, while the youngsters
were in search of knowledge at the fish
hatchery, or fun In the woods, the
mothers enjoyed a" genuine "close to
nature" rest in the grove.
Ideal weather, as bright as the
youngsters themselves, favored the
event, and the ioe cream and good
things to eat were not amiss. At the
close of the merriest day the little
ones, dirty and thrilled, were put Into
the same automobiles as they came out
In, by a system of numbers, and the
drive to town began. Not an accident
nor an unhappy occurenoe marred the
day. The Knights of Pythias were
royal hosts to the children, who can
scarcely fail to remember the men with
the white hats with striped bands as
any less than the great Santa Claus.
Returning, another brief stop was
made at Multnomah falls. The picnick
ers arrived home at about 6:30 o'clock.
The day had been a great success.
There were many who assisted in mak
ing it so, not only the women who
arranged for the families and children
to go, but the merchants and others
who donated foods and supplies and the
oar owners.

John Zacky and Frank Miller were

the basement of a house at 210 Sheri

tenant overhead, was dying of tubercu
losis. The police say that discussion
of Russian fortunes on the battlefield
was the cause of the quarrel.
The two men are said to have been
drinking and eating watermelon when
the row started. They rose, clenched,
swayed backwards and forwards, and
then crashed to the floor. Zacky was
underneath. He folded his arms around
Miller. Miller seized his opponent by
the shirt. Zacky's head rested com
fortably on the corner .of a mattress.
Without relinquishing his hold he fell

asleep. Miller was unaDle to loosen
the other's grasp, so, despite the fact
that he was on top, he began to call
for help.
Meantime Mr. Wiseman had died.
During his last moments his relatives
did not notice the disturbance beneath,
but when they lighted candles and
gathered about the, deathbed for prayer
the shouts below were distinct.
Patrolmen Russell, Gouldstone and
Crane were sent to quell the row. They
dragged the combatants apart. Glanc
ing about the barren basement, an oil
lamp at each end shed a faint light, the
police saw several empty bottles, some
dirty dishes and the remnants of a
watermelon.
Miller was Jerked to his feet. Zacky,
with perspiration streaming from his
face, slept undisturbed. Miller stood
swaying for a moment. He collapsed
on the floor suddenly and he, too, slept
like a tired child.
The police selected a bottle to take
for evidence against the combatants,
and then woke the now peaceful
gladiators. Zacky asked for a towel to
wipe his face.
"I've been working hard, I tell you,"
he insisted.
The family overhead finished their
interrupted prayer and began prepar
ing the body for burial. The police au
tomobile departed for headquarters
with the prisoners, and peace settled
once more over the neighborhood.

fell from his rowboat in Coos Riven
four days ago, came to the surface to

was drowned. The tide ebbs and flows
in Coos River, and the finding of the
body above where the drowning oc
curred was due to that action.

PERSONAL WORK NEEDED
W. C. T. U. OFFICER URGES HELP
IN PROHIBITION CAMPAIGN.
Flfty Thousand Votes Not Rea-Utered.
Many Misunderstand Brewers' Meas
ure, Say Mrs. Andrews.
"The people who are genuinely eager
to see prohibition successful In the com
ing election must get out and do more
personal work among tho voters than
they are doing now," said Mrs. E. B.
Andrews, of Oregon City, secretary of
the W. C. T. U. of Clackamas County, at
the Prohibition rally at the Library yes
terday. "There are some 50,000 unregistered
voters in the state: there are 4000 in
Clackamas alone, and there Is a wide
spread misunderstanding of the true
intent of the brewers amendment, she
said. "I should like to see you out mak
ing house-to-house canvasses, encour
aging the voters who are not registered
to remedy their shortcoming and en
lightening those who are not fully in
formed on the nature of the brewers'
bill, which we are fighting."
J. P. Newell, state chairman of the
Prohibition central committee, discussed
the so-called brewers' amendment and
said that, while one might not doubt
that the motives of those who fostered
the measure might have been good, the
text of the measure contains too many
loopholes in its wording, through which
abuses can creep in and the whole work
of prohibition in the state be undone.
"It is too full of flaws for the people
of the state to dare to take the risk of
lettfng such a measure go through," he
said.
The Rev. Edith M. Mlnchen was an
other speaker. She Is secretary of the
W. C. T. U. In Yamhill County. Mrs.
M. TX Russell, state secretary of the W.
C. T. U.. presided.
A supper will be held at the T. M.
C. A. tonight at 6:15 to which every
worker in the Oregon dry campaign is
invited. A. C . Newell, of the Civic
League, will be the speaker of the even

CLOSIfJG FOUND IN FAVOR
SENTIMENT FOR LAW GROWS, SAYS
REV. MB, TUFTS, AFTER TOUR.
Amendments to Be Proposed to Legis
lature If Repeal Is Defeated at
November Election.
A growing Interest In the question of
repealing the Sunday law at the No
vember election has been evidenced
throughout the state, according to Dr.
G. L. Tufts, state superintendent of the
Weekly Rest Day League, who has Just
returned from an extended trip through
southern Oregon.
Dr. Tufts says: "I find that the
vast majority of merchants believe in
Sunday closing and want a law to
keep their competitors closed.
"If the repeal of the law is defeated,
the friends of the Sunday Rest will
request the state Legislature to amend
the law so as to remove all unjust
discrimination and make it a sane,
sensible, workable measure. A few
changes will make It a splendid law
and a great benefit to the business In
terests of the state.
"The people of Oregon may learn
a lesson from the example of the Japa
nese in closing their business houses
on the Sabbath. All civilized nations
have Sunday laws. Emerson declares
Sunday observance to be the 'core of
civilization. "

HEATING SYSTEM WORKS
The Rector Heating System is simplicity itself. All
that is required is a radiator in each room, a small
electric fan in the basement and connecting pipes. The
fan draws the vitiated air from the room through the
burner in the center of the radiator. Here it is raised
to a high temperature, then passed through the coils
of the radiator, which transmits its heat to the room,
and is finally discharged, together with all fumes and
odor, into the chimney.
The starting or stopping of the electric fan also
starts or stops the flow of gas to the radiators and
all that is necessary to operate the system is to press
the button which controls the motor. The motor can
be operated by a clutch if desired, and the heat auto
matically turned on at any predetermined time.
You can thus have a comfortably warmed house
on rising in the morning or on returning from busi
ness or a visit without any attention and with no
waste of fuel.-
The cost of operation of a Rector System com
pares favorably with that of any system burning solid
fuel and the cost of installation is about the same. The
payments will be arranged to suit your convenience.
Let us take your heating troubles on our shoulders
and phone us for further particulars now.

Of Tom Dobson, who is to sing at the
Masonic Temple tonight, and whose
smooth and satisfying interpretation of
songs has been approved emphatically
by the most unimpressionable class in j
American society, the New York music
critics, many eulogiums have been pro
nounce'!! in public and in private. One
of these critics, who has since become
well acquainted with the young artist,
describes the occasion on which he first
heard his songs, thus:
"By chance. Tom Dobson was an
nounced at an affair which I attended
last Spring in the home of some prom
inent musical people. It was after two
or three rather dull numbers that Dob
son was announced. People were re
arranging their seats, and those stand
ing were coming a little closer. A few
preliminary bars swept across the key
board, and then Tom began one of his
gay chansonettes. often heard sung in
Paris, and seldom anywhere else.
"A short pause, a few bursts of laugh
ter, a score of appeals, and Tom com
menced anew. For a while he lingered
with German lieder. then, with a change
of mood, began a series of his "chan
sons intimes." of which before him
only Mayol knew the secret. Then,
when the pulse of life had been quick
ened, and all of us had begun to feel
like ourselves again, Tom grew somber.
His audience waited.
"He began this time with an Italian
song, and a long, long song It was,
rare and impressive, colored In tho
softest shades like an old Italian tapes
try. I remember the almost inexplica
ble effect of the last lines, so often
repeated, "la bella Lucia, la bella
Lucia, est morte. est morte." Few songs
had been depressing with such real
and such pure sentiment. We awaited
the end rather breathlessly, for ther,

was a tense uneasiness that seemed
especially communicable.
"Now I know why he sings songs
that other singers avoid. For by se
lecting songs that he has made, him
self, or songs that he obtains from
Carpenter, he has avoided every un
pleasant classification, and commands
an art that is all his own."
