PROHIBITION'S HELP NOTED Plea Made for Cottage for Older Girls With Hospital and Receiv ing Facilities Xev Heating Plant Also Is Wanted. The Boys' and Girls' Aid Society of Oregon rendered assistance In some form to 1032 children for the year end ing April 80. 1917. according to the report of R. E. Arne. superintendent of the society, delivered at the annual meeting of the organization yesterday at the Central Library. The annual business of the society was transacted and officers elected In addition to the hearing of reports. Mr. Arne's report showed that the total number of children assisted In cluded not only those helped in the Receiving Home, but also those visited In family homes, and those who had been aided through special Investiga tions as a phase of the field work of the society. The Receiving home aocommodated 840 children this year, Mr. Arne re ported. Of this number 62 were placed In family homes for the first time; 154 were replaced In family homes; 45 were restored to their natural parents; 27 were replaced in the homes of rel atives; 19 were sent to other institu tions: four were returned to the County Courts, and two became of legal age. Good of Prohibition Noted. "The decrease in the number of chll- ren permanently committed to our in stitution, the corresponding number for the year 1916 having been 119, as against 96 for this year, is noteworthy of comment for two reasons," Mr. Arne said. "It indicates that the society is olng more effective social work in solving family difficulties, without the ecesslty of removing the children. It Indicates. In addition, that prohibition is already a factor in stabilizing the home." The society had 646 children In fam ily homes throughout the state during the past year, Mr. Arne's report shows, an increase of 88 over the preceding year. Mr. Arne reported that the society Is hampered in its activities by the lack of funds. 'We need especially a cottage for older girls, a cottage with hospital and receiving facilities, and a new eating plant," he said. "We need suf ficient funds to be able to place cer tain types of children in boarding homes. Two field workers would greatly increase the efficiency of the outside work. Change la Reported. As a step toward receiving these esired objects we have converted one of our field workers Into a financial ecretary, replacing him by a worker from the receiving home." W. F. Woodward, treasurer of the organization. touched on the $700 deficit, which the society Is now suf. ferlng. He expressed the belief, how- ver, that the present campaign would bring in sufficient funds to more than make up this deficit. Mrs. C. K. Templeton, secretary of the Women's Advisory Board, touched upon the work of the receiving home In her report. She said that the home was satisfactorily managed, and the children well cared for. W. B. Gilbert was re-elected presi dent, and F. E. Beach was re-elected secretary of the society. W. F. Wood ward, who had been treasurer for seven years, resigned, and F. I. Fuller was elected to take his place. LAW LIBRARY PROBLEM RENEWAL OF TEN-YEAR CONTRACT VP TO COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. Economy May Cause Establishment as Branch of Public Library Stock Value Is Question. Commissioners of Multnomah County today will consider the question of granting another ten-year con tract to the Multnomah Law Library for maintenance of a legal library at the Courthouse. In four years past the income of the association from the county has totaled approximately $25,000 and whereas It was organized originally with no intention of making money and purely on a self-sustaining basis, a question now arises as to whether or not the privately owned stock is be coming of much pecuniary value. The county Is under no obligation of law to renew the contract should it be Miles and True Blue Serge Suits Men who buy their clothes with the same judgment and care with which they buy thing's for their business, buy Browns ville $15.00 suits They come in smart business mixtures snappy stripes and, most important of all, in the famous True Blue Serge. These suits are made for work and wear as well as looks the materials were purchased before the increase hence the present low price.

' County Clerk Beveridge is required to charge a library fee of $1 In addi tion to the regular fees for the filing of every complaint in the Circuit Court and for the initial filing of estates in probate. On answers filed a fee of 60 cents is exacted for the association. At torneys of the city pay dues of $2 a year for the privilege of using the li brary.
