AVIATION SITES ASKED, TOO Reports Regarding Remainder of Pacific Coast Are to Be Submit ted to Secretary of Navy De partment at Later Date. vVASHINGTON. Feb. 13. Establish ment of a submarine training base in Los Angeles harbor and of a submarine war operating base at San Diego is recommended in a report of the spe cial Navy Commission, headed by Rear Admiral Helm, made public today by the Navy Department. The commission recommends accep tance of "site No. 1," offered free of cost to the Government by the city of Los Angeles. The plant there, the re port says, should be used permanently as a training base for at least 18 sub marines and for operations in time of war. For the San Diego base the commission proposes setting aside a portion of the existing naval reservation as a site. The report deals with the necessity for establishing aviation bases on the Pacific Coast and finds that the North Islands in San Diego offer the best cite for a training and experimental station In Southern California. Legislation is recommended to per mit the Secretary of the Navy to ac quire aviation sites at both Los An geles and San Diego. Appropriations of $300,000 for development of the submarine bases and $500,000 for pur chase and development of the aviation bases are proposed. Today's report is the third submitted Iby the Helm Commission, previous recommendations having concerned the establishment of additional naval sta tions on the Pacific Coast. Report No. 3 deals exclusively -with the subma rine requirements for the Southern California coast. Later reports will submit recommendations of a similar nature for the remainder of the Pacific Coast, the Atlantic Coast, the Gulf Coast and the insular possessions. EARLY REPORT IS ASTCKD Decision on Proposed Columbia River Wanted. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Feb. 13. Representative Haw ley, fearing that delays may v.estroy what chance there is of getting an ap propriation this session for a rubmarine base on the Columbia River, today tele graphed Admiral Helm urginr that he expedite the report of the board that twice has visited the mouth of the Columbia, Because no report had been received from the Helm uoard the House naval committee would consider no amend ment to the naval appropriation bill providing for a. submarine base at the mouth of the river and no such legis latlon will be approved by the Senate committee unless a favorable report Is received from the- Helm board before the naval bill Is reported to the Senate. IIr. Hawley concludes from the ear lier reports of the board that it Intends to recommend a submarine and per haps an aviation base at the mouth of tho Columbia and is hopeful that rec ommendation may be received in Wash ington in time to permit of an appro priation amendment being attached to the Navy bill. The Navy bill having passed the House, any provision for the better protection of the mouth of the Colum bia must be added to the measure by me benate. VOTE OF PEOPLE IS NECESSARY Proposed Los Angeles Site Is Pro tected by Fort. LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13. Site No. 1. which the special Navy commission recommended today the Government accept as a place for a submarine training base In Los Angeles harbor, embraces 166 acres. Is situated on, the west side of the harbor beneath the protecting guns of Fort MacArthur. If the Government accepts the city's offer of the site free of cost, it will be necessary to have the transfer ap proved by a vote of the people at a special or regular municipal election. i MARINE INTELLIGENCE.

PORT TO PROVIDE DREDGE GERARD'S COUSIN ANXIOUS Business Interests Represented at Session When Plea Is Made for Work Property Owners to Dispose of Material. Unless the June freshet Is prolonged and tho stage such that digging can not be carried on, the prospects are that the task of opening the west chan nel alongside Swan Island will be un dertaken this Summer by the Port of Portland.

Moores, chairman of the Commission of Public Docks; Wilson Clark, of the Clark & Wilson Lumber Company, and others, were on hand. J. B. Zeigler had the floor for a time. speaking of the need of conserving the waterfront property for public pur poses and suggesting that steps be taken to prevent exorbitant values being placed on the land, should it be required later by the municipality for maritime purposes.

Sea, smooth; channel hazy wind, north, four miles. In xjecture Before Woman's Club Mrs. J. D. Spencer Tells How Rice, Macaroni and Similar Products Can Be Used. Now that the lowly "spud" and the sturdy onion have developed wings and have followed the high cost of living, look for spaghetti and macaroni and kindred devices in your daily meals provided your wife Is one who runs her house on a scientific clan and knows all about starches and pro- telds and calories and all those other elements that make modern eating such a complex affair. Mrs. J. D. Spencer devoted the major part of her fourth lecture on cooking economy under the auspices of the Woman's Club at the Central Library yesterday to a consideration of the substitution of other starchy foods of less cost, such as rice and macaroni and similar products, instead of the costlv potato. "The housewife today hardly realizes that she is handling money when she is handling provisions, and she should go as carefully about her kitchen work as a banker goes about his banking business. Why, with a 90-cent roll of butter nowadays one can simply see the nickels and dimes rattle off It every time they put their knife In It to spread a piece of toast. Speaking of the high cost of butter, Mrs. Spencer suggested flank suet as a substitute for butter in cooking and for the other cooking oils. "While lard has doubled and every other kind of oil has soared up in price, flank suet has remained the same, 10 cents a pound. I have found that if one procures It and tries it out care fully the oil Is the most satisfactory cooking medium. I find it an excellent substitute for butter in making cake, also, and believe that it will be found to meet practically all the require ments for which other and more ex pensive lards and oils are used. The soft flank suet is what one must get however, for the kidney suet Is too hard to try out satisfactorily." In the vegetable market Mrs. Spen eer Indicated cabbage as about the only vegetable that has remained rea sonable in price, although even cab bage has risen noticeably. To obtain best results In cooking cabbage and imilar vegetables she recommended that they should be cooked in an open utensil, as otherwise the oils that are released through cooking would be re absorbed into the vegetable and make It strongly flavored and less pala table. Mrs. Lee Davenport presented to the women who attended the lecture a shopping list of the places where spe cial rates on various kinds of pro visions are offered.

So he issued a eubpena for that attorney. ' 'Who got that check forselllng liquor," he demanded of the lawyer. Id rather not answer," replied the attorney. So the prosecutor Indulged in a little casual chat, which struggled back to the question in which he was interested as though by accident. Better be a good fellow and tell who It was." suggested Mr. Evans, Nope. Can t do it, was tha positive reply of the attorney. 'Of course. I might lay the matter before the grand jury, and If you re fused to testify you might be liable for contempt of court," commented Mr. Evans. But. as said before, the attorney had been a judge and he knew what's what when it came to law. "You can't do that," said he.' "I claim privilege, aa It was the assertion of a client to a lawyer, and a confi dence which I am permitted by law to keep." "All right, John, answered the Dis trict Attorney. "Have a cigar?" HAZEPiS ON PROBATION PRIVILEGES DENIED VANCOUVER HIGH STUDENTS. Score of Upperelassmeai Allowed to Re. turn Pending Good Behavior. Hasina- to Be Taboo. VANCOUVER. "Wash.; Feb. 13. (Spe clal.) About 20 upperclassmen of the Vancouver High School are to be "on probation" for an indefinite period, as a. result of their participation in hazing embers of the freshmen class recent ly. Just before a party to be given in the high school the freshmen were in duced to take rides In automobiles. which were driven seven miles into the country. The freshmen then were compelled to get out and walk back. The exercise whetted their appetite, though they did not enjoy the long wallf. in the dark. A conference was held today by Pro fessor De Garls Reeves, principal of the high school, and Professor C.
