Portland mills in buying' supplies. He
said the practice Is to get doors and
other work from outside points.
Labor Qae.tlon Revived
Or. Drake said he favored using;
Portland-made materials and he also
favors giving preference, to Portland
labor, although the board, acting upon
a recommendation of the Chamber of
Commerce recently, had eliminated a
clause to that effect from a resolution
which was adopted. The matter was
referred to the building committee for
recommendation.
P. W. Horn, an educational expert,
superintendent of the schools of Hous
ton. Tex., was employed to make a
rapid survey of the Portland schools
with reference to changes that have
been made since the survey of 1913.
Work will be begun April 10.
The school calendar was changed yes
terday so that there will be school on
June 6, 7 and 8. School will end on
June 13 Instead of June IS, thus mak
ing up for the former three days. The
change was made because of the
change In Rose Festival dates.
The Judiciary committee reported to
the board yesterday that the court had
sustained the position of the board in
respect to the suit of Beatrice P. Can
nady over use of the school swim
ming tanks. It was also reported that
so far as the board is concerned, the
Alexander case is officially ended.
Yesterday's meeting of the School
Board might well be called a patriotic
session. Numerous things of a pa
triotic nature were accomplished, and
on the wall behind the chairs of the
board members was hung a big, new
flag, the first In years to grace the
meeting room of the directors.
Teachers in the city school system
not naturalized citizens were asked to
become citizens at once. This will be
promulgated to alien teachers as the
Wish of the board.
Permission was given to establish
cadet corps of students in the high
schoools and to use school equipment
for drills and other forms of training
for military purposes, provided this
does not interfere with regular school
work. The step was taken upon a
resolution adopted by the high school
principals asking this permission, and
it was presented to the board by F. S.
Ball, principal of Franklin High School.
He also read a resolution adopted by
the Interscholastlo Athletic Association
to the effect that since a state of war
will soon prevail, beyond doubt, that
athletics fostered by this organization
be given up. Military training, it was
thought by the directors, would offer
a good substitute.
Collated Students Favored.
Superintendent Alderman recommend
ed that a number of high school stu
dents who have enlisted be allowed to
rrsiluntii with their classes in June.
credits for the remaining work being
given. He said he had gone over the
grades of the students in question and
the board agreed to this procedure.
The following were assured of grad
uation credits:

Georgo D. Graves, Charles Parsons, Robert
VlaU Donald Bates, Earl Burton.

A first-aid course may be established
in the high schools for girl students,
the matter having been suggested yes
terday and referred to the committee
on educational affairs for further con
sideration. Case of Disloyalty Pumsles.
The case of Earl Boyd, a 9-year-old
child attending, the Clinton - Kelly
School, who refused to salute the flag
with the other children, puzzled the
Board yesterday. He has been us
pended by I A. Reed, principal of the
school, and it is felt that he Cannot
be forced to resume his classes -under
the truancy law.
The lad refused the salute upon In
structions from his father, L, Q. Boyd,
736 Tlbbetta street, who is a Socialist
in political belief and who wrote to
the principal expressing the belief that
to salute a flag Is on a par with the
practice of the children of Israel In
setting up Images and bowing down be
fore them.- The subject was referred
to the Judicial committee to find out
what legal steps may be taken.
A resolution favoring the immediate
establishment of a parental school by
the district, as autnorized by recent
act of the Legislature, was read, tell
ing of the need for such a school and
stating there are SO children now
eligible for this school. It was stated
that 100 acres of the old County Farm
mav be had from the County Commis
sioners for this purpose. The matter
was referred to the committee on edu
cational affairs and will be acted upon
finally when the entire Board is pres
ent, as there were only three directors
at TGtcrHflv's meetincr. Meanwhile.
Board members will inspect the tract
available.
Milk Supply Topic.
Milk distribution at the Ladd School,
a subject which has vexed C. M. Klg-.
gins, principal, was brought up by
that official. He said enthusiastic
women had spread the report that a
largo percentage of pupils in that
school were suffering from malnutri
tion and they want milk sold at the
school for lunches, while children not
able to purchase are to be given sup
plies without cost, rfe asked if the
Board wants this work undertaken
there and if he is authorized to incur
a deficit in this direction.
He gave it as his opinion, however,
that bad teeth, infected tonsils and
adenoids were more often the cause
of poor health of the children than
malnutrition.
Dr. J. Francis Drake said that in
one school it had been found that 93
per cent of the children had Imperfect
teeth and it was the general opinion
that teeth of the school children need
ed attention. The matter was deferred
pending the working out of a satisfac
tory plan.
A. Neppach, chairman of a commit
tee from the Oregon Planing Mills
Association, asked the Board to favor

Detective Rees Said to Have Been on
Boat When Invaders Reached the
Dock at Everett for Battle.
SEATTLE, Wash, April 6. George
Reese, a detective, was employed by
the Snohomish County authorities to
spy out and inform about Industrial
Workers of the World activities, for
some time previous to November 6, be
cause of the authorities' fear that seri
ous trouble with the organization would
develop. This was the testimony today
of Phillip K. Ahearn. general manager
or a detective agency here. Ahearn'a
testimony was in confirmation of a
statement previously made bv Jake
Michel, secretary of the Everett Trades
Council.
The testimony was offered at the
trial of Thomas H. Tracy, charged with
the murder of Jefferson Beard, a Sno
homish County deputy Sheriff, who was
killed November 6, in a clash at the
Everett city dock between Snohomish
County authorities and a boatload of
Industrial Workers of the World, who
had come there on a free speech trip.
Tracy was one of the men aboard the
boat.
Two or three weeks ago, during the
presentation of the state's case, a wit
ness testified that Reese was aboard
the steamer which carried the I. W. W.
members to Everett, was arrested with
the others when the boat returned to
Seattle and was later released by order
of the Seattle police chief.

Amendment Declared to Allow Leigis
latnre to Make, Issue to Care for
Dependents of Soldiers.
, SALEM, Or.. April 6, (Special.)
Should a special session of the Legis
lature be called by Governor Withy
combe to make provision for dependent
families of soldiers called into service,
the 6 per cent limitation amendment
will have no binding effect on any
bond issue that might be provided, ac
cording to lawyers .here who have
studied the situation.
The question had been raised not as
to whether the Legislature could Issue
bonds, but whether provision could be
made for paying the interest and re
tiring such bonds, should such interest
and sinking fund cause succeeding lev
ies to be in excess of the amount that
would be allowed under the terms of
the amendment.
The limitation amendment Itself al
lows the Issuance of bonds and the
payment of interest thereon. Section
7 of Article XI inhibits the lending of
the credit of the state at the hands of
the Legislative Assembly in any
amount to exceed $56,000, except "In
case of war, or to repel invasion or
suppress insurrection, or to build and
maintain permanent roads."

rVTLilZATION, the Thomas H.
Ince 'spectacle on exhibition at
the Star Theater; is causing no end of
comment these days. This multiple
reel production, with its "trailer" of
endorsement from President Wilson, is
war on war, a denunciation of war and
its horrors, and a plea for peace.
So some assert that it advocates
peace peace at any price and la argu
ment for the ultra-pacifist.
But Thomas H. Ince, while a peace
advocate of so pronounced tendencies
that some of his friends linked his
name with the Nobel peace prize soon
afte the appearance of "Civilization,"
declares that no one is going right
fully to accuse him of being unpatri
otic, and that he in no way favors any
act of subserviency bordering on loss
of National honor. Down at Culver
City, CaL, where the Ince studios are
located, the Ince forces are preparing
to do their "bit" in case of war. And
Ince enthusiastically sanctions and aids
such action.
"My picture is an attack on war, the
kind of war waged at the whim of au
tocrats," Ince is quoted as saying. "The
time has come in the history of the
world when war must no longer devas
tate countries because a ruler or a
small ruling class - sees in war some
possible advantage."
However, "Civilization" speaks for
Itself when it comes to the portrayal
of ruthless warfare, and particularly
of the submarine variety. The sinking
of passenger ships by torpedoes, an in
novation of warfare of the most highly
civilized day, is presented graphically
in the picture. . Then, too, aerial con
flict, trench warfare, artillery duels
and cavalry charges are a part of the
spectacular creations of Ince.

Marie Doro's picturesque charm was
never more forcibly or charmingly pre
sented on the screen than in "Castles
for Two" a pleasant mixture of Amer
ican heiress, poverty-stricken young
Irish lord, Irish peasant life, an heiress
In a kitchen and fairies. It Is a pic
ture that will prove attractive to nearly
fveryone, and with the elimination of
ertaln parts that have proved offen
sive to the Hiberlan societies, is a film
magnet that draws their enthusiastic
approval.
The wealthy American girl who dis
covers a lord incognito ana tne gin

chen maid are not new characters in
literature or on the screen, but the
picturing of the fairies about her as
she enjoys the green woods or tne
Emerald Isle gives "Castles for Two"
a touch that places it in the exceptional
class.

There she finds her fairies, and a real
lord, and when she has made him love
her even as a kitchen maid, real happi
ness Is theirs. Brian's mother has never
really wished the marriage for money
alone that her sisters demanded of
him, and the sudden transformation of
the girl she even accepted as a kitchen
maid into a brllllantly-gowned heiress
is a fitting climax to her loyalty to her
