Free Motion Pictures Are to Be Exhibited in Auditorium v Next Monday Night. .TriEr Quality; Sto f or- pobtlahd J Some of the Reasons Why We'll Have 540 Busy Minutes Today COMMISSION TO EXPLAIN 20 J -j Government Agents, Here to Buy Millions of Feet of Spruce for . Airplanes, Want to Awaken. Western Public. What, doubtless, will be one of the befit motion picture exhibitions ever presented in Portland will be produced at the Municipal Auditorium next Mon day night. It will be free. Everybody Is invited. It will be offered by the airplane committee of the National Council of Defense, and will include a series of wonderfully thrilling pictures of aerial maneuvers on the battle fronts in France. A group of men prominent in the work of preparing for the Govern ment's extensive participation in the future aerial conduct of the war, will be in Portland on Sunday and Monday next, primarily to investigate the local spruce and fir supplies available for aircraft construction, and incidentally to acquaint the public at large with the prominent part that airships now are taking in the big war. Seattle Knt hunlantlc Over Picture. So far as the general public is con cerned the latter detail of the pro gramme is of greater interest. The pictures were shown at Seattle on Tuesday night, and a crowd of 5000 persons watched and applauded. It was one of the most wonderful exhibi tions ever given in Seattle. Now, if Portland wants to make as Rood a showing of patriotic spirit and loyalty as its neighbor, Seattle, it will be necessary to get a record crowd out to the Auditorium. Mayor Baker has consented to pre side at the meeting. A member of the commission will explain the pictures as they are thrown upon the screen. The commission, which is making a tour of the spruce-producing territory of the Pacific Coast, was in Seattle on Tuesday, in Taeoma yesterday, and will pass today in Mount Rainier National Park. It will be in Grays Harbor to morrow and AVillapa Harbor on Satur day. It is due to arrive in Portland on Sunday, and if convenient to the visitors will be taken on a trip over the Highway. Manufacturers Are to Confer. At noon Monday they will speak at the weekly luncheon of the members' council of the Chamber of Commerce. A series of conferences with spruce manufacturers is scheduled for various times on Monday. The Government is in the market for 100,000,000 feet of spruce that can pass the severe tests for airship uses and 40,000,000 feet must be delivered within the next two or three months. The native spruce of Western Ore gon and Western Washington has been used by the aircraft builders of Eng land and France for the last few years. It is well understood that it will be extensively used by this Gov ernment as well. Recently a series of tests have been etarted to determine the availability of Douglas fir for airships in connec tion with spruce. Students of fir tex ture believe that the wood will stand the test. E. T. Allen, of Portland, who Is a member of the lumber committee of the National Council of Defense, is member of the party. Other members are Lieutenant-Colonel L. W. B. Rees, of the British Royal Flying Corps: Major B. Perfetti, of the Italian army: Captain Henry Dourif, of the French mission: William Chadeayne, represent ing the aircraft manufacturers, and Howard E. Jayne and F. A. Douty, rep resentatives of the spruce lumbermen. 75c Table Damask, Yard 60c A Good quality mercerized table damask in A short lengths that range from 2 to 3 yards. Zk 70 inches wide.
