WOMEN EET TO pi am cnn qauiug yard in the country Is filled, either with previous Navy contracts or contracts awarded by the Shipping Board. , To take care of this situation Secre tary Daniels is going to Congress with the request for an appropriation large enough to finance the enlargement of numerous existing shipyard's In order that they may enter at once upon the building of destroyers. Notwithstanding this tieup and not withstanding the letting of more con tracts for wooden ships would relieve the strain on steel yards and afford opportunity for building destroyers, the Shipping Board has let it be known that it will stand pat on its determina tion to head off the expansion of the wood ship programme. Builders who have been In confer ence with the Shipping Board' are con vinced that unless strong pressure is brought to bear the Shipping " Board will not resume the building of wooden ships, but will confine all future con tracts to steel. gKHAKI HANDKERCHIEFS FOR SOLDIERS GOVERNMENT APPROVED -15 -MEN'S FURNISHINGS SHOP.

The- QjjClity Store of- Portland 8" Telling You in Part the Good News for Thursday EVERY HOUSETO BE VISITED City Will Be Districted and Com uiittee Selected for Each District to Itegister Every Housenife Before September 15. Several hundred women, representing SO different important organizations, assembled yesterday afternoon in Library Hall in answer to a call of Mrs. John F. Beaumont, chairman of the Portland division of the Oregon branch of the woman's committee of the Council of National Defense. Mrs. Beaumont presided and Mrs. Sadie Orr Uunbar was secretary. The women decided to district the city according to precincts and to put a woman in charge of each precinct. Assistants to these chairmen will be named and these will serve as a com mittee to call at each dwelling placa and distribute the registration cards that will be studied and marked by the women residents. September 15, named by Governor WTthycombe as registration day. the women will take these cards to a designated registra tion place in each precinct. One-Delivery System Discussed. In addition to planning for the reg istration there was an address by Charles F. Berg and a general dis cussion of the advantages of the one-delivery-a-day system for stores. Some women wanted to know who would get the money saved from cut ting down delivery expenses by carry ing home packages. Mr. Berg explained' the system as a means of general pa triotic co-operation that eventually was bound to be of advantage to cus tomers. Mrs. K. D. Inman suggested that if each woman would keep her delivery slips showing that the goods purchased had been carried home, she could, at the end of a few months, give practical demonstration that she had saved the merchants a. large sum of money. Patriotic Appeal Made. "Let' 3 have faith in our merchants; Jet's show how patriotic we can be. Portland has led in all other good movements; let us lead in this, and not only we but all the country shall reap the benefit," said Mrs. Inman. Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, board member of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, said: "Less delivery has been a hobby of mine for 10 years or more, and I know that increase of delivery has helped increase prices." Mrs. Kvans later entered a protest against "the way women's committees are treated regarding finances," and stated that "women ought to demand their rights and get some of the money to carry on the work." Mrs. J. F. Chapman was appointed to consult the men's committee with a view of getting funds to carry on the registration and other work the wom en's committee will be expected to do. THOUSANDS VIEW FILMS OREGON WIDELY ADVERTISED BY MOTION PICTURES. Photographer of Out-of-Door Scenes Is i. Even Better Results. Probably 200,000 persons In the United States see pictures of Oregon each day, according to Jesse G. Sill, the outdoor motion picture photog rapher, commenting on the number who visit theaters where reels of Oregon scenery are being shown. Mr. Sill is in the employ of the Edu cational Film Corporation, which is making Northwest scenic studies for distribution throughout the land. He has made about 14,000 feet this Summer, all of which, however, is in the North west outside of Oregon. From each negative about 23 ccpies will be made, so that the Northwest will get a lot more adve- .ising this Winter. While the work Mr. Sill is doing is entirely a private enterprise, he be lieves that if it can be done as such, the community certainly ought to be able to do it and cash in on the adver tising which it makts possible. "When war stops we will be duo for about the biggest siege of tourists ever known, and of course they will go where there seems to be the most op portunity to see sights that are inter esting," said Mr. Sill. REPAIR COSTS LOWERED SPECIAI TRICK Cl'TS STREET BILLS MORE THAN HALF. Commissioner Rarbur Is Ready to Re port on Experimental Work to City Council. So successful has an experiment In Ftreet repair work been that Commis sioner Barbur, of the Department of Public AV'orks, believes it has solved one of the most perplexing of municipal problems. It consists of a specially equipped truck, with a crew of three men and carrying materials sufficient for whatever needs may be required. Mr. Barbur has had the new experi mental rig and its crew out on repair work since July 15. Thus far, according to Mr. Barbur, It has been found possible to make re pairs to pavements at a cost of about t5 cents a square yard, as against $1.75 paid private contractors. In addition to the economical phase, he points out the rapidity with which patchwork may be done, and says it constitutes one of the best features of the plan. Mr. Barbur says it probably will be necessary to add another repair outfit before long. The entire expense of the equipment, he said, is about $400.

"Some time ago, when there was a condition prevailing which caused large numbers of laboring men to congregate in the city. Mayor Albee recommended to the Council that a spe- cial privilege be given to this place and to Blazier, as they were running large places, where it was thought that these men could remain and thereby be better off than, outside: that is, it would benefit the city in that way. We studied the matter and agreed with him. It was all right at the time to have done it. "We have now discovered, however," continued the Mayor, "that it has not been appreciated by the proprietors of Fritz & Russell, at least, for they have been gambling strong there, and we have the evidence.
