Yesterday was such a Sunday as none
ave June is tamed for, adding fresh
laurels to tne monumental pile before
that remarkably pertinent query of the
poet "What is so rare as a day in
June?"
No, Jasper, the answer is not beef
steak. It is to De presumed that your
pale pun, sprung: soon after the death
less line was penned, had much to do
with hastening the end of the hapless
poet. His inquiry has remained with
out legitimate answer, for nothing is
so serenely and satisfactorily beautiful
as a June day.
When Spring first stretched her
wand to the wild flowers, the chill of
a tardy welcome lay upon the land, so
that the first days of really clement
weather were celebrated in the city by
promenade and park. But yesterday
was a different damosel who danced to
a golden sun under the bluest of skies,
with a light breeze blowing happily
from nowhere-in-particular which is
a far land and lovely. And people re
membered that it was high season, in
deed, fittingly to frolic with Summer.
River Calls Mamy.
The river called 'em. When the river
calls those who have heard her call
before, there is little use for resistance.
She greets the white arc of the diver
with a grateful, cool caress, and she
cradles a canoe as gently as the light
est leaf cast to her current, and she
throws a wreath of foam before the
viking prow of the motorboat. She's
some little old river, as any of them
will tell you.
All was not in concord on the river,
however. Little cared the swimmer, or
the motorboat or the canoe for the
eteady upward lift of the rising stream.
But those squatters of the wooded
waterfront, the folk of the houseboat
colonies, turned wearily away to the
quest of planking for walks that might
take them ashore dryshod. And the
carp came in to the sod, where yester
day the children hunted four-leaved
clovers, and rooted diligently after
their own fashion, caring little for ex
act numbers.
The launches that ply the river on
short excursions grew important with
prosperity. "Koom for one more!" was
the skipper's sternly voiced instruction.
Ah, but a few brief days agone he was
pleading with the passerby to tarry
and fare forth at so much per fare
reduced. Overnight, aided, abetted,
and altogether providentially pampered
by the weather, he became dictatorial
as any seadog of the days of Drake.
Hundreds Inspect Shipyards.
The shipyards were inspected by hun
dreds of Portland people who had read
about their prodigies of growth, and
believed in being conversant with one's
own city, so that the next casually met
stranger should not catch them nap
ping with an observation about some
thing they never knew was in town.
Yes, yesterday was distinctly dedi
cated to the wide, rambling Willam
ette. They rent a few thousand ham
sandwiches on her, green banks and
tore the tin from many a festal can of
pork and beans, and sent smoke in
cense skyward from the fire which
boiled the coffee just before the pot
tipped over.
Some day. Indeed!
FLAG STATION GIVES $400
AVoodland, In Cowlitz, Already Has
Oversubscribed Quota.
CHEHALIS, Or., June 17. (Special.)
Carrolton, Cowllts County, a flag
tation on the Northern Pacific main
line, with two stores and a rural pop
ulation, today started Washington's
Red Cross campaign off in whirlwind
style by subscribing $400 in less than
10 minutes' time, following an address
by N. B. Coffman, of Chehalis, district
manager for Southwest Washington.
A. H. Imus, of Kalama, president, and
L. N. Plamandon, of AVoodland, also
were present.
One merchant gave J50, five men J25
each, four $20 each, the rest came fast,
30 people making the total.
At Woodland, Cowlita County, where
$1000 had been allotted as the sum to
be raised the coming week, this after
noon more than $1000 was raised in
short order, and the week's campaign
is yet to follow. The pace set for the
balance of the state of Washington
and Oregon by Carrolton and Wood
land would indicate the oversubscrip
tion of the total by an immense sum.
PORTLAND MAN WOUNDED

OTTAWA, Ont, June 17. Today's
casualty list records as wounded E.
R. Lohcamp, Portland, Or.
E. R. Lohcamp ts E. R. Lohkamp, an
expressman, whose residence is at 487
Falling street.
Mr. Lohkamp left for Canada to en
list in February this year and a few
weeks ago Mrs. Lohkamp received a
letter from him saying he expected to
be back in Portland for Christmas din
ner. Last week she received a tele
gram saying he had been wounded.
Mrs. Lohkamp was formerly Miss Lena
Holweter and married Mr. Lohkamp
about nine years ago. They have three
children, aged 7, 5 and 2. respectively.
SISTERS HOLD REUNION
Daughters of Portland Family Do
Xot Meet for 3 7 Years.
Mrs. Elizabeth Lane, of Tacoma, and
Mrs. Mary M. Koets. of San Francisco,
sisters, met in Portland last week for
the first time in 37 years. Both women
were former Portland girls, daughters
of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hickman. Mrs.
Lana was married early in 180 and
Mrs. Koets married in 183. The du
ties of maintaining a home so keDt
them in different parts of the country
inai tney never could chance to be to
gether at any of the family visits or
reunions.
They have corresponded, however,
and last year promised each other to
make a concerted effort to have a re
union in Portland.

"The Unbridled Tongue."

"THE UNBRIDLED TONGUE."
Out of the same mouth pro
ceedeth blessing and cursing. My
brethren, these things ought not
so to be. James III, xz.
And thus, if the lips one day
bless and the next day curse, the
source of neither can be genuine.
Dr. Beaven.
Behold, how great a forest a
little fire kindleth! James III, v.
And behold further, how great
a gathering of friendship and
unity can be laid waste by a care
less word! Dr. Beaven.
Rev. Wesley J. Beaven delivered an
interesting and convincing sermon yes
terday morning at the Third Baptist
Church on "The Sin of an Unbridled
Tongue." The pastor chose as his text
the tenth verse of the third chapter of
James: "Out of the same mouth pro-
ceedeth blessing and cursing. My
brethren, these things ought not so to
be."
People were cautioned to bridle their
tongues. Man. the speaker said, had
patiently tamed the wolf and made of
it the shepherd dog; he had tamed the
tiger and made of It the gentle house
cat; but he never had and neve could
tame his own tongue. Always must
watch it and keep guard over it, for it
was the one thing that could do him
the greatest good or the most lasting
damage.
Dr. Beaven's sermon was marked by
rich comparisons. One of these was of
an incident which recently occurred out
of the Columbia Highway. A single
engine, pulling a long string of heavy
freights up the grade, was moving un
der forced draft. As the train neared
the top of the hill the heavy draft
caused live coals to scatter over the
right-of-way. A number of small fires
were Instantly started in the dry grass.
Fortunately laborers working on the
track nearby saw the blazes and beat
them but before they were able to
gather headway and work injury to the
surrounding foliage.
The parallel which the speaker drew
was to the effect that any man or
woman, tired and overburdened, was
apt to let drop sharp words that, if not
trampled out at their inception, might
cause deep and lasting damage.
"The moving finger writes.
And, having writ, moves on;
Xor all your piety nor wit
Can lure it back to cancel half a line."
AL1 SIX CARRIES PENALTY
"Someone Must Pay for Wrong,"
Says Rev. H. F. Given.
"Someone has to pay every time a sin
is committed," said Rev. Hugh Fraser
Given, pastor of the United Presby
terian Church, yesterday morning in
his sermon on "Who Pays the Debt
When Sin Is Concealed."
The message was a warning to young
people and a charge to all to appreciate
the sacrifices of the mothers and the
fathers and to confess their sins to
Christ and receive his love and forgive
ness. The sermon was given preparatory to
the celebration of the holy communion.
"We can never- repay the debts we
owe our parents," said Dr. Given, "but
we can make amends for many of our
faults by being kind to them and caring
for them in their old age. A sin once
committed cannot be undone. But we
can try to make atonement and can do
better next time.
"It is an easy thing for us to say over
the Lord's prayer and repeat 'Forgive
us our debts, but do we stop to tntnK
who pavs those debts? Every time you
are destructive or do a wrong or hurt
someone or say some mean thing, some
one has to pay. Often it is the innocent
who pay in heartaches and In sorrow
for your fault. Is that Just? Is that
as you would have It? No, I am sure
you do not wish this to be. Look unto
Christ and make your lives better,"
urged the pastor, "and there won't be
so many debts to pay."
To brine his arguments home. Dr.
Given used a number of anecdotes and
illustrations, telling of the boys who
smoked in the barn and burned it to
ashes; of the small girls who broke the
pipe organ trying to see where the
sound came from, and of the lad who
plays ball and breaks the window.
"In each case there is disobedience,
repentance and forgiveness, but some
one has to pay. Just so through life,
your deeds may be ever so well con
cealed, but someone pays," said the
speaker.
SrFFERIXG GLORIFIES MEN
"Harshness May Best Arouse Hu
manity," Says Dr. Eldridge.
"God's method of glorifying us
through suffering Is not an expert
merit, but a demonstration of his lov
ing care," declared Dr. E. Olin Eldridge
yesterday in his sermon at Mount Tabor
Methodist Church. His topio was "Con
quest of the Disagreeable."
Of the troubles and tribulations to
which mankind is heir Dr. Eldridge
Scenes of Yesterday Along the River,
as Sketched by a Staff Artist of The
Oregonfan.
said: "Deep feeling, noble art, true pity
and abiding character come through
the gateway of trial and difficulty. It
Is for the making of such priceless
values that God keeps the old earth
turning on Its axis. A man who Is In
capable of suffering would be a
monstrosity.
"Suffering Is a daily reality by which
God gives the soul enrichment," con
tinued Dr. Eldridge. "Suffering Is the
shadow that tempers the sunshine of
our prosperity. The world's progress
and development have come by its Cal
varys and Gethsemanes. Lives free
from pain are loveless lives. To suffer
much Is to love much."
As a warning to those who are indo
lent and whose hearts are not tuned
to share the suffering of humanity. Dr.
Eldridge said: "Our best friend is the
one who arouses us from fatal drowsi
ness, even though the means by which
it Is done may seem harsh and severe.
God cares for universal humanity
hence the calamity that is upon us
now. God wants us to care for unU.
versal humanity, also."

Dr. W. G. Eliot Talks of Proper
Uses of Money to Church.
PLEA MADE FOR RED CROSS
Questions Put to Consciences of
Hearers and Advice Given to Re
Honest With Themselves; Ex
travagant Dress Discussed.
Warnings and advice that made men
stop and think was given yesterday
morning In the Unitarian Church.
It wasn't a tirade on extravagance,
nor was it a lecture full of statistics
and tabulated lists of what mankind
should spend on the necessities of life,
but these were unnecessary, for when
Dr. W. G. Eliot, Jr., preached on "Prin
ciples and Standards of the Spending
of Money," he put it right straight to
his congregation as a matter of per
sonal conscience.
And when Dr. Eliot had presented the
problem in this manner, he made a stir
ring, eloquent appeal for the Red
Cross.
"Give to the point of hazard," advised
Dr. Eliot. "The cause Is one that should
.appeal to every heart and mind."
An additional plea for the Red Cross
was made by ex-Governor West, who
explained the workings of the society,
its broad, humanitarian worth, its pow
er to mitigate suffering and to do the
work that no other agency can do. He
asked his hearers to give liberally to
protect and save the boys who are
"giving their all to protect us In this
war between autocracy and democ
racy." In his suggestions regarding the
spending of money. Dr. Eliot advised
that some be Invested in pleasure,
"For," he said, "one cannot be normal
without some pleasure." He also de
clared that people should dress in be
coming garments and not make them
selves conspicuous, or appear to be
"cranks." "However, are we sure that
in our pleasures and in our dress we
are not trying to 'show off?" asked the
pastor.
"Are we sure we haven't gone beyond
the mark and become extravagant in
the matter of clothes? Are we sure we
haven't gone in for social affairs that
are beyond our means and are for show
and have exposed ourselves to the
charge of social climbers? Are we sure
we are not giving Just enough to silence
the beggar? Are we giving to freak
pleas to make ourselves spectacular?"
These were some of the questions that
Dr. Eliot put to the consciences of his
people, and then he advised: "Give con
sistently and with honor. Determine
what you should spend on yourself,
your family and your business; what
you should invest in consideration of
your health and your further efficiency.
Be honest. Face the test and put the
question to yourselves. Woe to the
person who In the name of conscience
tries to fool his conscience!"
FINITE GOD WS HEED
"MR. BRITLIXG SEES IT THROUGH"
SERMON TOPIC.
H. G. Wells' Book Is Praised by
Dr. John Boyd, as Snbllme
TCple of Times.
Not a metaphysical God, far removed
and aloof from the world and Its af
fairs, who moves with the ruthless
precision of a juggernaut, but a finite
God, human, and near to the heart in
an hour of bitter trial, a friend, a
comforter, such is the need of humanity
as delineated last night by Dr. John
H. Boyd, of First Presbyterian Church,
in his sermon, "The Religion of Mr.
Britling."
"I believe that H. G. Wells, In "Mr.
Britling Sees It Through,' has given to
us altogether the strongest book of the
war period," declared Dr. Boyd. "It is,
indeed, a sublime epic of the times
which we are passing through." '
Mr. Britling, as the type of middle
class Briton, sees his well-loved son,
Hugh, go away to the war. When the
word of Hugh's death is received, the
universe crashes about the desolated
father. If God b responsible for such
sn end, the fstri declares, if the deity
is the fountalnhead of such suffering,
while omniscient, then will he have
none of such a God; an experience. Dr.
Boyd reminded his hearers, that is
common enough today in warring Eu
rope. "And In that hour of desolation there
arises inevitably the thought, 'Is there
anything worth while? Is there any
meaning to life?"
Mr. Brltllng's first conception of God.
said Dr. Boyd, was of a metaphysical
God. who could not be reached, who
was callous to human tribulation.
Metaphysics, he argued, had wrought
a God so remote that the aim and in
tent of such religion was to pattern
itself after that sublime unconcern and
so achieve calm.
Mr. Britling, however, sought for a
finite, a companionable God and found
surcease.
"The only Ood that will satisfy the
heart is a finite God," pursued Dr.
Boyd, "not a little God. but a God that
men .can come near to and associafa
with, and that's the God that the human
heart needs."
Dr. Boyd quoted from Mr. Brltllng's
discovery. "God is no abstraction, no
trick of words, no infinite he is as
real as a bayonet thrust or an embrace?"
Investigations Show Table Scraps in
Quantity Come From Apartment
House and Larger Residen
tial Districts of City.
The waste of edible food in Portland
ts estimated at 4.65 tons a day, or 1689
tons a year. The waste of non-edible
food is put at 6.96 tons a day, in a re
port made by City Health Officer Abele.
in compliance with requests of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture. Scraps of bread alone in the
waste of the city will amount to 425
tons a year, according: to lr. Abele's
estimates. These estimates were made
from quantities of garbage hauled to
the city incinerator, which does not in
clude waste from the restaurants.
Detailed analyses were made at the
incinerator by City Chemist Calloway
and by Superintendent Hilber and
others. The report signed by Dr. Abele
is as follows:
In general, I have found that there la a
very amall percentage of food waste In gar
bage ai present as compared with the waste
two years ago. There la not the wholesale
dumping of food stuffs that there used to
be. Rarely, if ever, do you see a whole loaf
of bread, or a whole beefsteak of half a
roast of beef, or lev of lamb. The boys at
the incinerator complain that It Is hard to
pick out enough good meat for the cat. as
the garbage wagons are being dumped.
Waste Cornea by Districts.
In general, the majority of waste as it
stands at present comes from family tables
In certain sections of the city. These sec
tions are residence district of the West
Side, f especially apartment houses). Nob
Hill. Portland Heights. Sunnyalde. Mount
Tabor, Irvlngton, and Rose City. Such dis
tricts as Peninsula. Alblna. Wood lawn, Mon
tavilla. Lents, Woodstock. Sell wood. South
Portland, and Fulton have very little table
scrap ln their garbage.
It Is very probable that most of the table
scraps In these sections are being used as
feeding stuff for chickens. In most of the
downtown restaurants, hotels, markets and
stores the wet garbage Is sold to the hog
feeders Any garbage used as feeding stuff
for hogs or chickens Is not lost. But If it is
sent to the Incinerator It Is not only lost, but
It costs the city about 3-4 cents a ton to
burn It up.
A representative sample of resident and
apartment houe garbage showed the fol
lowing composition;

I made an estimate of 64 loads of garbage
weighing 14A.200 lbs., to arrive at the ap
proximate per cent Of table scrap in the
garbage. According to my estimate these
64 loads ran about 19 per cent table scrap
of the average composition hereinbefore set
1UI l It.
William Helber, superintendent of the In
clnerator, estimates that about Si tons of
residence and apartment house garbage
comes in each day and that on an average
It will run to an per cent table scrap by
weight. This would Indicate that my esti-
iuaLe is very conservative, indeed.
Wastage Is 1689 Tons a Year.
This would mean that 11. R9 tons of table
scraps are being wasted every day. Of this
.na tons was gooa to eat. This would be
1689 tons in a year. It represents tha tnaA
that we cook but do not eat. 6.&0 tons a day
or 2540 tons a year represents that part of
ur vii scraps mat are not rit to eat, the
moat of which has a feeding value for chick
ens and pigs. The heels of the loaves and
pieces of bread that we throw into the gar
bage can amounts to 4J5 tons In a year. How
many .Belgians win tnat feed ?
If we eat this bread, we will hv
This mans that much bread for the other
fellow who is facing starvation. I saw whole
pies, whole cakes, whole pans of snails and
sweet cakes and biscuits, fed to the flame

otic, we will
Eat less, because 1-5 of the food we eat
Is surplus cargo and never makes bone,
blood and muscle for our bodies:
Buy less food because we are wasting part
of the food we do buy;
Buy perishable foods which will leave the
stable foods to feed the armies and hungry
folks In other lands.
I have started analysis of the wet garbage
to find Its value as a feeding stuff. I will

$65 PURSE THEFT CHARGED
Police Say Suspect Served One Term
for Forgery.
Robert A. Morgan, alias Paul Will
iams, was arrested last night by Detec
tives Tichenor and Maloney and charged
with stealing a purse containing $o5
from W. II. Susbauer, proprietor of the
Northwest Coffee House at Third and
Burnslde streets. The police say Mor
gan is an ex-convict, and served a term
for forgery in the Oregon penitentiary
under the name of Williams.
The purse was stolen from a pair of
trousers left hanging in the kitchen.

When Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound was first introduced its cur
ative powers were doubted and had to
be proved. But the pi-oof came, and
gradually the use of it spread over the
whole country. Now that hundreds of
thousands of women have experienced
the most beneficial effects from its use
its value has become generally recog
nized and it is now the standard medi
cine for women's ills.
The following letter is only one of the
thousands on our files.
Denniion, Texas. "I cannot feel
that I have done my duty until I tell
what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has done for me. I suh'ered
from female troubles so I could hardly
drag around and do my work. I was
very nervous, and had dizzy spells, heat
flashes, and headaches until life was a
burden- My husband brought me a bot
tle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and I soon began to improve
I continued its U9e and am now free
from all pains and aches that made life
a burden. You may use this letter in
any way you like for I want the world
to Know what a gTand medicine Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is."
