BY DEAN COT.T.TNS.
A high lorehead, delicate aristocratic
features, soft, introspective black eyes,
a crown of gray-touched hair and a
long, thin beard ting-ed with. gray.
Blender artistic fingers, a figure tall
and majestic in the flowing robes of
the Far East this is an impression of
Blr Rabindranath Tagore. poet, dra
matist, leader of modern thought and
literature in the vast and teeming
country of Bengal.
Rabindranath Tagore arrived in
Portland from Seattle yesterday on the
first stretch of the Western portion of
his second American lecture tour. This
is his first visit to the Racific Coaet,
although he was in the Middle West
about four years ago.
Humanity Discerned In Features.
Since the award of the Nobel prize
for literature to him in 1913, which
made him a figure of International
prominence, Rabindranath Tagore has
been the object of a great deal of
myth making among the hero-worshiping
Americans. Viewed face to face,
he Is reassuringly human, albeit there
is a gracious majesty about his bear
ing that inclines one Immediately to
an attitude of semi-reverential re-
6PHe" is typically the man of medita
tion In his conversation he seems for
the most part almost unconscious of
his listener, and appears to be rather
reducing his ideas to the clearest pos
sible English for his own benefit. Ana
when the audience is ended, and with
gracious courtesy he has taken leave
of his visitor, he seems to sink, almost
instantly, quietly back into the re
cesses of his own profound medita
tions. Language Played With Skill.
His English Is perfect, true to the
accent of the cultured man o Great
Britain, although his slightly treble
voice gives to his conversation a
strange flavor of foreignness. There
is a charm about his conversation,
chiefly due, apparently, to his mar
velous choice of words and his keen
ear for the music of the English lan
guage that inclines the interviewer to
stay on and on, listening to his delight
ful conversation.
That is probably why W. W. Pear
son, who is traveling with him, em
phasizes, as the interviewer goes in,
that the Interview is to be "for a few
minutes only." and, after the time has
been far run over, comes into the room
with a courteous reminder that the
visitor has sat long enough at the
feet of the master. Mr. Pearson is an
Englishman connected with the great
school which Rabindranath Tagore con
dlcts on his estate in Bengal.
American Farming Discnsxed.
What does Tagore talk about? Any
thing; and he talks about it in a thor
oughly practical manner that dissipates
the idea of the average occidental that
the famous Bengali master is a new
species of mystic with his head forever
in the clouds.
For instance, he discussed the possi
bilities of effective establishment of
the wholesale machine methods of
farming that are used in the United
States, in the fertile farmlands of
Bengal.
"The experiment offers numerous
the probability that it might create
a labor problem. The only method that
suggests itself as feasible is the instal
lation of these methods in co-operative
farming communities."
Engineering, he intimated, is the
study that the American schools offer
which promises to be of most 'use to
students from India. "The agricul
tural colleges here," he said, "do not
teach the student to deal with the con
ditions in Bengal and the graduates of
an American agricultural college must
learn over again from the native culti
vators when he returns to .his home."
Strength of English in Prose.
His own son, by the way, is a stu
dent in the University of Illinois, be
ginning first in an agricultural course,
but since changing his course.
From agriculture the conversation
was switched through the feminist
movement and the characteristics of
American culture, and ended on a dis
cussion of the merits of Bengalese and
English as media of poetical expres
sion. While Rabindranath Tagore is not
the apostle of the free verse school
which the modernists would have us
believe him, he declared that he be
lieved the strength of the English lan
guage lay in its prose possibilities.
Language Fonnd Musical.
"I believe that all the requirements
of the ear for music can be met in the
use of English in prose. It has seemed
to me that when metrical form was
' followed too rigidly in English, there
was a tendency to weakening, but in
prose I have found it an intensely mu
sical language." "
In the course of the interview, by the
way, it appeared, from the lips of Mr.
Pearson and others, that the master's
name is pronounced to rhyme with
"more," which no doubt will clear up
a hftUntiri? rifUlht that line linir.pail n
the mind of many an American since

HUMANITY IS PUT FIRST
To Regain a Healthy
Girlish Complexion
If you wtfuld have a clear, fresh, girlish
complexion, one ounce of ordinary mercollzed
wax will aid you in this direction more than
shelves full of cosmetics. It produces a
natural beauty. This wax, procurable at any
drug store, completely absorbs a bad com
plexion, revealing the healthy young skin
'underneath. Its work Is done so gradually,
day by day, that no inconvenience is caused.
The wax is applied at night, like cold cream,
and removed in the morning with soap and
water.
Another valuable rejuvenating treatment

Bengal Writer Declares Ambition
for Material Advancemnet Is
Doomed Alter War Audi
ence Is Held In Spell.
Out of the wisdom of BO centuries.
India weighed in the balance the na
tional Ideals of the Occident and found
them wanting, in the lecture of Rabin
dranath Tagore on "The Cult of the
New Nationalism," at the Lincoln High
School last night, under the auspices of
the Drama League.
Inhuman, mechanical, destructive of
the best and truest qualities of the
human soul, was found the system of
national development exemplified in
the nroeress of the Western world, by
the great Bengali master, who brought
himself before his audience as the
spokesman of "the people of no na
tion" to the people of nations.
The characteristic of nationalism as
opposed to the realization of the univer
sal brotherhood of man, he declared to
be the characteristics of barbarism.
"The principle of barbarism is iso
lation and distrust-; the principle of
civilization Is unity In the recognition
of a common humanity. Humanity must
at the same time be many and
one, in the fullest extent. India has
for 50 centuries been striving to solve
the problem of human life by social
regulation on the one hand and spir
itual recognition of human equality
on the other.
'A nation is a thing in which society
is organized for a mechanical purpose.
"When society allows itself to be
turned into a complete organization of
mere power it loses its qualities of
humanity, and the forces of the human
heart are entangled in the forces of
the automoton and destroyed.
"A nation is the organized self in
terest of a whole people, where it is
most selfish and least human. It is
a cruel epidemic that is sweeping the
people of the world and sapping their
vitality.
"It is the continuous pressure of the
dead human upon . the living human
that is destroying humanity, for the
organization of power in the 'form of
a nation is impersonal and mechanical
and not vital and human.
"In spite of all, the nation cannot
hide the fact that a nation is the great
est enemy of nations. Hence each nay
tion views with fear the emergence
of a new nation into the world, for
this means rivalry in the struggle for
the extension of power.
"Because every nation has its own
diplomatic history of thieving and lies
and hate there can be only suspicion
between them."
In the great war in Europe, Rabin
dranath Tagore prophesied the end of
nationalism as a controlling ideal in
the human race. True, he said, there
would be, after the war, many efforts
to restore the old systems and patch
the old broken parts of the machine.
but ultimately the ideal of organized
selfish power and material advance
ment is doomed.
"The European war of nations is a
war of retribution. Man has realized
the terrible absurdity of the thing
called a nation and must protect him
self against the piling up of things
inhuman and monstrous. In the flame
of the European war is the destruction
of the machine of nationalism.
'Those who have any love for hu
manity cannot but hope that this war
means the end of this monster of na
tionalism, of machine organization
which is all stomach and no heart:
that it is going, never to be restored,
and that humanity in its true freedom
and its recognitlontof the truth is com
ing to its own."
The attendance7 at the lecture com
pletely . filled the auditorium at the
Lincoln High School and took up all
avaiiaoie standing room. The in
tensity of the spell under which the
audience was held was indicated by
the breathless silence that followed the
regal chant of his poem of peace, with
which Rabindranath Tagore closed hi
lecture a silence that continued, it
seemed, for minutes before the snell
was broken in the burst of applause

CHURCH IS 30 YEARS OLD
Pastor and ex-Pastors of Fourth
Presbyterian Are Heard.
Early days were recalled and old
time friendships were revived la the
meeting last night that marked, the be
ginning of the celebration of the 30th
anniversary of the founding of the
Fourth Presbyterian Church.
Rev. Henry G. Hanson, the pastor,
gave an interesting outline of the his
tory of the church. Greetings were
read from Rev. Thomas Boyd, of
Fresno, Cal.; Rev. M. D. McClelland, of
East Butler, Pa., and Rev. J. R. Welch,
of Reedvllle, Or., all of whom are for
mer pastors. Rev. Donald MacKLenzie.
of Dallas, Or., gave an address. Rev.
H. N. Mount gave greetings for the
Portland Presbytery. Excellent music

United States Senator J. HamiltonU
"wis, of Illinois, replied here tonight
in an address at the State Armory to
attacks by Charles E. Hughes on the
Adamson eight-hour bill. Denying that
passage of the bill was forced upon
Congress by railway men, Senator
Lewis asserted that the only force put
upon congress in connection with the
bill was "the force of the railroads to
force more money from the people."
"Judge Hughes," said Senator Lewis,
"has not a word to say as to the rail
roads, who demanded that a law in
creasing their rates be passed by Con
gress to offset what they claimed
would be their loss if they paid the
Increased eight-hour wages. This law,
immediately to increase their returns,
was the only force that was put upon
Congress the force of the railroads to
force more money from the people."
"It is a crime," continued Senator
Lewis, "for Congress to be 'forced' by
railroad workmen to give them justice,
but the Judge has no word to describe

This sign is reported to
hang: in the office of a live

Anyway, it is a big busi
ness message in a nutshell.
Turned into everyday
English, it means that what
a retailer makes depends
very largely upon how often
he turns his stock and how
much business he can do on
the least amount of capital.
Turning stock an extra
time is like finding money,
because it does not take ad
ditional investment to make
the extra profit. The money
already invested simply
works faster and produces
accordingly.
Overbuying and slow
sellers are the greatest ene
mies of turnover. They tie
up profits on the shelves or
in the warehouse and often
absorb the net gains pro
d u c e d by quick-moving
lines.
The answer is to stock
quick-moving lines in quan
tities just large enough to
take care of the trade and
then get behind them with
all the sales energy possible.
Quick sales at small prof
its and minimum investment
is the big idea in modern
business.
What has all this to do
with banking? Our busi
ness is not essentially dif
ferent from others. We
have much the same prob
lems to solve, but in many
cases have better facilities
for gathering helpful ideas.
We would not be living up
to our idea of helpful serv
ice to business in general if
we did not emphasize those
ideas that have a direct
bearing on commercial suc
cess. We believe we help
ourselves by helping others.
For this reason we have
made it a point to study bus
iness conditions and prob
lems. The results of this
study are yours for the ask
ing. If you are interested,
we will be glad to talk over
these matters with you at
any time.

The Council heaved a aigh of relief
Monday when the ordinance was passed
closing up the city's woodpile deal.
It has been the source of trouble frr
more than a year. The principal grief
has come since it was found that 1000
cords of wood which the city actually
paid for cutting had disappeared. An
Investigation by Auditor Barbur finally
disclosed the fact that much wood had
been delivered under the Hart contract
and the money never turned over to the
city.
Mr. Hart got into the affair so deeply
that he had to forfeit his contract. HU
bondsmen, the New Amsterdam Cas
ualty Company, took over, the affairs
and agreed to the settlement adopted
by the Council after long negotiations
with Commissioner Bigelow. The com
pany agreed to take care of about
$2600 in labor claims which Mr. Hart
had failed to meet.

City Auditor Barbur yesterday re
fused to approve a claim passed by the
City Council Monday settling the tan- ,
gle which baa arisen from the sale of
cordwood cut at the unemployment
camps two Winters ago. taking the
position that the city cannot, or at least
should not, pay for service never per
formed. Mr.. Barbur says he will not
Dnrovt the deal unless instructed so to
do by City Attorney LaRoche.
Under the settlement which was
worked up by Commissioner Bigelow,
Charles R. Hart, who had tne contract
for hauling the wood, is given $699 in
anticipated profits. These proms con
sisted of 75 cents a cord for hauling
about 1000 cords of wood, which disap
peared mysteriously from tne wooa
camp, either having been stolen or
never produced. It was Mr. BIgelow's
contention that Mr. Hart took the con
tract to haul an approximate amount
of wood and when the amount was
found to be about 1000 cords less than
the approximate total specified he was
entitled to "anticipated profits," having
made an investment based on the prob
able profit of hauling the entire
amount.
Mr. Hart in the settlement was
charged 3 a cord for 140 corda of
wood which was sold by Mr. Hart or his
men and the money pocketed instead of
being paid to the city. The 140 H cords
was part of the missing 1000 cords and
was all that was traced directly to
theft.
' "The settlement." said Auditor Bar
bur yesterday, "means that the city
charges Mr. Hart for 14014 cords
of wood which it was shown conclu
sively was stolen somewhere-along the
line and then pays him a profit on the

CUT THIS OUT
OLD KNOT.ISH RECITE FOR CATARRHAL
DEAFNESS AND HEAD TsOlSfcS.
If you know someone who la troubled with
head nolaes. or Catarrhal Deafness, cut out
this formula, and hand It to them, and you
will have been the' means of savins some
ooor sufferer perhaps from total deafness.
Recent experiments have proved conclusively
that Catarrhal Deafness, head noises, etc,
were the direct euseof constitutional dis
ease, and that calves, sprays. Inhalers, etc.
merely temporize with the complaint and
seldom. If ever, effect a permanent cure.
This being so, much time and money has
been scent of late by a noted specialist in
perfecting; a pure, gentle, yet effective tonic
that would quickly dispel all traces of the
catarrhal poison from the system. The ef
fective prescription which was eventually
formulated, and which has aroused the be
lief that deafness will soon be extinct. Is
given below in understandable form, so that
anyone can treat themselves In their own
home at little expense

The first dose should begin to relieve the
distressing head noises, headache, dullness,
cloudy thinking, etc, while the hearing rap-
Idly returns as the system is invigorated by
the tonic action of the treatment. Loss of
smell and mucus dropping In the back of the
throat, are other symptoms that show the
presence of catarrhal poison, and which are
often entirely overcome by this efficacious
treatment. Nearly 00 per cent of all ear
troubles are directly caused by catarrh
therefore, there must be many people whose
hearing can be restored by this simple home
treatment.
Every person who Is troubled with head
