REFERENDUM MAY BE USED Service VYi'l Start In 60 Days Unless Legal Fight Is Made Permits for Two Additional Lines Are Requested. A franchise to operate lines of motor buses in the Southeastern part of the city was granted by the City Council yesterday morning to Stephen Car ver, under the name of the Portland Trackless Car Company. This is the first of three franchises asked for by Mr. Carver whereby ho contemplates a city-wide Jitney service. The franchise will go into effect in SO days unless the referendum is in voked to block it. The Jitney Drivers' Union has foug-ht the issuing- of any franchise to Mr. Carver, who is presi dent of the Portland & Oregon City Hallway, and it is thought likely that It may attempt to refer the franchise to the people. A duration of three years is pro vided 'for the franchise, which also makes provision for a B-cent fare, and the privilege of transfer, not only on other buses of the same system, but also on cars of the Portland & Oregon City Railway. -he concern must put up a bond of (10,000.

An ordinance providing for Increas ing the salaries of some of the men who are to be employed ir the con struction work on the Tanner Creek sewer and also providing for five In spectors at-not to exceed $4 a day, in troduced by Commissioner Dieck of the Department of Public Works, was turned down by the City Council yes terday. The increase in salaries provided for by the ordinance would mean an addi tional outlay of probably $1000 in the cost of the sewer, according to Mr. Dieck. He Bald the work' would be un usually difficult, including tunnel work and piling, requiring the most skilled workmen. The sewer will be about 7000 feet long and will cost approximately J300.000.

Keep Horlick's Always on Hand Quick Lunch; Home or Office. Herbert Johnson, at Session in Y. M. C. A. Ball ding, Says Soul Saving Is Duty of All, 3Vot Alone That of . Ministers. The work deemed necessary to the expansion of the Christian Church was outlined at the sessions of the Lay men's Missionary Movement, which convened yesterday at the Y. M. C. A. William E. Doughty, of New York, editor of "Men and Missions," a prin cipal speaker on the afternoon's pro gramme, said that tne tjnnstian Church should become more cosmopoli tan, and more intensely social. "The church should enlarge its views and Its methods to take In the whole world," said Mr. Doughty. "We must make the city a new instrument of re demption, and as Tom Johnson ex pressed It, "We must carry about tne vision of the city in our souls." "To strengthen Christianity we must have a great crusade with a new ob jective, an additional motive. lr all Christianity were to be eliminated we should have established a sufficient missionary force to re-create it," Increased Membership Tinted. Denominational conferences . were conducted between 2 and 3 P. M.. after which the general meeting of the In stitute was opened. Herbert Spencer Johnson delivered an address. The in stitute was conducted by William E. Doughty. In the address delivered before the morning session by Rev. Frederick A. Agar, of New York, it was urged that greater numbers of people attending church be brought into membership. An important responsibility of the church member, according to Ker. Mr. Aear. is to support the church. "The cheapest thing that I know of Is church membership," he said. He explained that every other organiza tion distributes its responsibilities in the same proportion as its benefits. "The religion of Christ is either the greatest fact or else It is the greatest fraud there is," he said. "If it is the greatest fact, then It should be sup ported, not with the leavings of a man's purse, but with the first fruits of the increase, as Ood has demanded. Greater Lay Activity H.eld Xecd. The necessity of greater lay activity as the proper assistance to a pastor was pointed out by Herbert S. Johnson. taking the place of W. E. Doughty, who was scheduled to speak on "Missionary Education." With a thume drawn from the 29th chapter of Job, Mr. Johnson showed that soul saving was as much the work of individuals in the church as of the pastor. The advisability of establishing a sep arate West Coast department in charge of a West Coast secretary for the lay men"s missionary movement was dis cussed in an executive session held be fore the opening of yesterday's -open meeting: Conferences to be held in 10 of the principal Oregon and Washing ton towns were also proposed. All three of the visiting speakers were heard again last night at the decennial dinner served at the First jJethodist Episcopal Church. Mr. John son pointed out that for Christians liv ing today, a number of supreme oppor tunities were at hand. "The -age in which we are living has at least five crises which would be Im possible In any other age of the world." he said. Among the great fields for missionary work open for the worker today, he mentioned South America and India. "A thousand dollars given to missions will be worth more than $100, 000 given a few years hence." he de clared. As an illustration of "The laxity which has come over mission work, he related that a recent attempt to raise a fund had failed, although the amount desired was only enough to purchase a postage stamp for every member of the church subscribing. j.ne inainerence of the average American in his religious actlvltlnn wno also pointeu out by Mr. Agar, Bpeaking on the subject. "Mobilizing the Chris- nan r orces. we said that only a Bu,a.i vruimrupn ot cnurcn members were really careful about their churclf oDiigations. Mr. Doughty spoke on "The Cost of the World Conquest." The final meeting of the campaign will take place at the First Baptist Church tonight at :30, Mr. Doughty and Mr. Johnson, being scheduled as speakers. STRAND HAS GOOD BILL BOB CAMPBELL, CONCERTINA TIH. TCOSO, IJ. HEADLI5KR. Training The Child by William Byron Forbush. PhD Russian Dancers, lUrtman Sisters, SaUor and Lady, Presented With Bluebird Photoplay. Bob Campbell, concertina virtuoso, with a concertina that Is broken to feed out of his dexterous-hand, is one of the first high lights in the new bill which opened at the Strand Theater yesterday arternoon. Campbell, as his -name Indicates, is a Scotchman, and, just to keep true to type, he plays some excellent ha. pipe solos on his concertina, after wnicn he gives an mutation of a dIdb- organ, playing "The Rosary" 'way up among the vox humana stops. He also has an underdone concertina, not much bigger than a large tobacco worm, but it seems to have all the necessary notes, and he twiddles a repertory of tunes out of it quite as efficiently as he does with the larger instrument. Rull and Rull are a man and woman who offer a whirlwind act in Russian dancing. Interspersed with singing and wmstung arna pretty costume changes. The Hartman Sisters are also striking in tne costume stunt and present a series of popular songs, old and new, in attractive setting and rendition. Edwards and Ward are a comedy sailor and a dashingly pretty lady, with a sparkling line of singing, .dan cing and patter. The motion-picture feature that closes the bill is the Bluebird photoplay, "The Man Who Took a Chance," featuring Franklyn Farnum. Posing as an English nobleman, he visits the estate of the millionaire, whose daughter he loves and wins her, but not until she has put TiiTn through a hair-raising test, to be sure that she is marrying a "real man" in spite of the title she thinks he possesses. German Bill 60,000,000,000 Marks LONDON", Feb. 14. Germany's war costs to date have reached the total of 60,000.000,000 marks, says a telegram from Berlin forwarded by the corre spondent at Amsterdam of Reuter's Telegram Company. (Copyright, 1917.) To the Editor: I want -advice for a trlrl of 18 who Is Kiddy. She enters sll sorts of frolics, fre quents the streets a good deal and avoids only the Immoral relations with boys. Ths mother Is a widow with little strength of character. The slrl has the advantages and disadvantages of living In a small place. HIS healthy, normal girl is some- JL what unguided and Is subject to the cruel criticisms of a little town. The girl is probably at heart splendid and has, if she can get the right friends, a splendid future. Let me enumerate certain tralt.1 of sweet 1 that will help determine what this girl shall become, according as we utilize or neglect them. She Has a Merry Heart, She wants a srood time. This Is part ly because she is vigorous and partly because she is Intense. She wants something doing" all the time, which makes it hard for quieter middle-aged people like her mother to keep up with her. Such a girl Is ready and quick In the expression of her emotions and hence Is often misjudged. She probably has a scorn of shams, which makes her enemies, particularly among the unco' guid. She 'does not stand around the postoffice giggling because she Is lazy, but because she Is hungry for adven ture. She puts herself In compromis ing situations because sh ffoes wher ever fun awaits. All this means aim ply the desire for joy, with a youthful lack of discretion In seeking It. In this very tendency are possibilities for good. Give' Her Girlish Play. This girl's exuberance can be satis fied by letting her play basketball. Join the Camp-Fir" Girls and amp out. She does not need boys particularly, but -nobody but boys In the village have or ganized any fun. But let the ecnooi, the church or the friend of girls start a girls' club and she wlil have very lit tle use for boys. Your town needs more wholesome places and occasions where boys and iris -an get together. The greatest moral need of the small town often aris from the fact that all its recreations are either commercial or else -re managed by the -ung people themselves. Why don't you start a community club, an eany evening dan cing class or a dramatic society? One reason this girl gets her .name associated with young men is because they will spend money on her. A girl whose recreations depend upon money spent for her by another Is always In danger. You can suggest that she now needs or deserves a larger allowance, or you ca.n help, her vO earn money for her own wants. 4 She Wants to Be Master. This sturdy iirl likes to 'o things for herself. Here Is the best way for her salvation, ' o inspire such a girl with the seal for a fine body, a con trolling mind or to get out of her nar row circle some day in the larger world of college or woman's work will re mjve her from many temptations. If you can get her interested in some kind of handiwork you will leave her few hours for strolling the streets in gay clothing. To take part In dramatics, to be a leader in some society, to work with older people has helped many a girl who needed only a big task and the appreciation of others to make her a fine woman. Make Her Queenly. The other thing your girl friend needs is learn Is the magic of Quality. Just now she is probably pleased to have a crowd of boys flocking around her, but It Is possible to show such a girl that to be o queenly as to com mand the respect of the best is worth more than to be surrounded by a herd of the common. To tell her this, , you have to be her true friend. But this I know you are willing to be. One word ere I close. Many girls today are misjudged because of their clothes. You do not care for the dic tum of a man on dress. But so long aj mothers encourage or allow their daughters to dress in such a . .anner as many of them do there will be persons, well-meaning or 111-meanine. who will criticise them. Such criticism often starts a girl who is high-spirited In the direction toward which gossip has ac credited her. Part of the secret of a good name is modesty of dress and de meanor. Young Cigarette Smoker. To the Editor: My boy of 10 has been a cigarette smoker for two years. We live in a small town. The father does not care, and my remon strances have proved Ineffective. Can any thing be done to cure him of the habit? MRS. There are two main and very differ ent ' uses for taking up the cigarette habit. One is the example of men and older boys. There Is abundant evidence that the first- use of tobacco, which is disagreeable. Is suggested by the desire to appear manly. 1 heard O. H. Benson, who Is at the head of half a million boys and girls in the Government achievement clubs, say the other day that it is hopeless to prevent toys from smoking so long as men about them whom they admire continue to smoke. This is the very real difficulty. The best antidote to this idea of "manliness" Is to substitute a better one. The athletic ideal has in many cases proven Just the remedy needed. Of course, i.o boy can win big games or make great records who has weakened his heart and his stamina. Therefore push this boy into such training and contests as soon as possible. Generally the Boy Scou's have stood arainst the use of cigarettes among their troops. and, while yo :r son cannot become a member for a year or two, you can surely : find a scout master who will take your son. under his wing as a pro bationer. Somewhere you must find a manly fellow who will win this boy's confi dence and without preaching show him how seriously he may be defrauding nimseii. it may oe tne lavorite teach er, the family doctor, the young man Just home from college. If your boy were poisoned you would succeed in finding somebody who could relieve him. It is not harder to find a friend tha.n It, is aoctor for a boy who is be lng poisoned more slowly by tobacco. Such a man will win conviction where the same facts stated by a, mother will not be heeded. Much can be done by providing a boy. who smokes partly because he Is Idle. with tools and toys at home, with pets to care for and- with profit-making work that he may do. The boy who does not si j. today that cic rettes are not a business asset will find out for himself later when he applies at cer tain places for a job and finds that his yelhjw fingers disqualify him. Any motive that will lead a boy to thrift, su as the desire to save up for a trip. will tend to lower his expen. ror to bacco. The essential cure is gained whei the boy gets hold of himself. After all, the real cure is self-cure. A boy as young as this one can be exposed, in a Y. M. C. A. Summer camp or a Win ter boys' onfereace or in connection with hi3 church, to religious influences that wi'l establish within him more I manly and self -controlling Ideals. The other cause for taking up the habit is personal defect. It is Just as true that defective boys smoke as that smoking makes boys defective. In a case so young I should suspect abnor mal weakn ea or nervousness, and l would have the boy looked over care fully by the best physician. Very likely he will suggest some alteration of diet, more care of the bowels, tonic bt-ths, more open air life and certain regula tions which -iiemselves involve giving up or muc'v restricting the habit. A wise physician with steady( treatment can alternately scare anti 'inspire to good results. Jealous of the Baby. To the Kdltor How can I prevent my boy of 5 from being Jealous of his new-born Daoy Bister 7 Naturally, i nave to aiviae rfiy attentions now. and the baby requires more care than he does. HILDA VAN S. I know a mother who "gave" the baby to the older child. From th- be ginning he called it "his baby." An other mother, similarly, took brother Into eve detail of baby's care, such as letting him help prepare the bt.th and the bed, warm the baby's clothes, etc It Is good to tell the older child many stori 4 cbout his own cuteness when he was little, so that he won't vet so tired of hearing "how cute" this baby is. Mothers who reveal x.he approach ing advent of the little stranger get an opportunity ,j do so in a way to forestall jealousy, by talking about the helplessness and dependence of new babies and winning expectant sympa thy and love. pssisiswjm issii ni. .in iasissMisj RAVERY It takes bravery of the highest' type to sacrifice profits in daily transac tions in order to serve faithfully. The grocer who sends you the large wrapped loaf of liPLSUM when you ask for "bread" is serving you faithfully, for he cannot send you any that is bet ' ter. Be faithful to him he de serves it.
