Plan to Commercialize Terwir

TVith but one exception, every mem

-Association present at a. meeting- in the
cnattucK school last night voted
against the proposed opening of Ter
williger boulevard to commercial traf
fic. J. B. Laber expressed the only dis
senting opinion, and his was a. neutral
attitude, as he did not vote at all. He
eaidt he had not heard sufficient argu
ment to make up his mind one way or
the other.
Mayor Baker, upon whose recommen
dation the City Council now Is Investi
gating the proposal to convert the
parkway into an avenue of commercial
traffic connecting up with the Slavin
road and the Bertha-Beaverton system,
presented his side of the case at the
opening of the meeting and left before
the session had advanced far.
j ravinjee JVeed Shown.
He explained, that his reasons for
"bringing up the issue at this time are
to provide a fund of approximately
$40,000 for paving it, placing sidewalks
and lights and to keep in this manner
the terms of the contract between the
city and the TerwjlMger heirs: also to
eliminate the Bureau of Parks from
criticism for not properly caring for
the boulevard. The money is not avail
able from city appropriations, he said,
and he expressed doubt that it would
be at the coming budget session.
The Mayor declared his position to be
purely that of a public official, charged
with the responsibility of administer
ing city affairs capably and intelligent
ly, and said that he had no fixed per
sonal views, neither did he have any
quarrel with any individual or set of
individuals over this or any other sub
ject: he considered himself too big. he
said, to permit criticism to involve him
in petty things, and asked that the
people of the district co-operate with
him and lay their wishes before himself
ana tne city Commissioners frankly,
and then they will be discussed openly
and a conclusion reached.
Speakers Voice Opposition.
Speakers who voiced the sentiments
of the community strongly opposed to
the proposal to commercialize the
boulevard included George B. Thomas,
Burt C. Jones. H. P. Ross and Mrs. E.
U. Frazelle, the latter being a resident
of Multnomah Station. She said she
spoke for the farmers, and contended
that the county should improve Slavin
road and that the Terwilliger parkway
should never become a part of a system
for heavy traffic.
Mr. Laber expressed no view of his
own, but set forth some of the reasons
Rufus C. Holman, chairman of the
Board of County Commissioners, had
friven to him for the proposition to use
the boulevard. .Among these were that
it would form an excellent connecting
link with the country roads and would
provide a good roadway to the pro-
posed new medical hospital, to be situ
ated on the hill, and peKhaps would
enable the county to give the present
hospital site over as a part of the
playground that is to be .installed in
Marquam Gulch when a levy is made
for that purpose, as authorized by the
people last June.
Emil T. Mische, who was superin-
. icnuciH ui parAa wnen tne Douievaru
was laid out and improved, expressed
the opinion that it should- be retained
for exclusive park purposes, and said
It should connect up with a boulevard
chain that was planned during the
Simon administration, designed to
encircle the entire city and become a'
magnificent feature of the city's park,
playground and boulevard system.
At the close of the discussions, the
Vote was taken.
Club Officers Re-elected.
As a token of their appreciation of
the excellent work done by the officers
of the association during the year just
closed, the members, upon motion of
Mr. Jones, unanimously re-elected the
officers, who are as follows:
President, A. Rosenstein; vice-president,
Mrs. J. F. Kelly; second vice
president, J. C. Smith; secretary, Mrs.
K. L. Benedict.
Members of the advisory committee,
all of" whom received much praise for
the year's work, are W. C. Dunlway,
Frank Sheeland, J. D. Flnnigan, J. C.
Luckle. J C. Smith, David Foulkes,
"William Wright, J. B. Laber, George
B. Thomas.
A. R. Draper, late principal of Shat
tuck School, who died during the year,
was spoken of in the highest regard by
Mrs. Kelly, who extolled him as a man
of many virtues, whose Judgment and
untiring zeal had assisted greatly In
the labors of the year, which Included
the campaign for the playground In
the gulch.
All were reappointed on the board.

Cocoanut Oil Fine .
For Washing Hair
If you want to keep your hair In
good condition, be careful what you
wash It with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and Is
very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (which is pure and en
tirely greaseless) Is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaBpoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses
out easily and removes every particle
of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly,
and it leaves it fine and silky, bright,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. It is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months.

Leave Canadians "Within
t 300 Yards of Lens.
PARIS, Sept. 4. A dispatch to the
Havas Agency from Hazebrouck says:
"Western Flanders is being evacu
ated as far as the line of Courtrai
Thourout (this line running to the east,
respectively, of Ypres and Dixmude).
It is learned today that many refugees
are being cared for at GGhent. large
numbers of them arriving from Roulers
(northeast of Ypres). which the Eng
lish are bombarding ceaselessly.
"The population of Courtral has been
authorized by the German military of
ticials to leave if they desire, and a
majority of them have departed. Refu
gees from Northern France and Flan
ders are going to Limbourg."

CANADIAN AR5IY HEADQUARTERS
IN FRANCE. Sept. 4. North of Lens a
most successful minor operation was
carried out early this morning which
resulted in the penetration of the en
emy's line and communication trenches
on a front of about 600 yards, the es
tablishing of a new outpost line well in
advance of those formerly occupied,
and the killing and wounding of many
of the enemy. A number of prisoners
were taken belonging to the Second
Guard reserve regiment.
A result of the operation, which was
carried out by men of Manitoba and
Alberta battalions with little loss, is
that in the region north of Lens our
outpost line has . been advanced some
250 yards nearer the city and is in a
more favorable position ' for observa
tion. While this operation was in
progress,' another party of our men
advanced eastward a considerable dis
tance along the enemy's communica
tion trenches on the north of Lens.
Heavy shelling by our artillery in the
Lens sector has compelled the Germans
to abandon their first line defense and
use shell holes instead.
Several large explosions occurred In
Lens last night and this morning.
LONDON, Sept. 4. The Reuter cor
respondent at British headquarters in
France sends the following:
"To the -north of Lens there Is now
in same places less than 300 yards open
ground between the Canadian positions
and the buildings of the city proper."
"The enemy's artillery showed great
activity during the night northeast of
Ypres," says today's official state
ment. "We advanced our lines slightly
northwest of St. Julien."
PARIS, Sept. 4. Attacks were made
by the Germans last night on the
French lines in the Hurtebise region
on the Aisne front, and east of the
Meuse in the Verdun sector. The War
Office announced today that both were
checked by the French fire.
During various raiding expeditions
on points behind the German lines, 15,
000 kilos (33,000 pounds) of projectiles
were thrown down hy French airmen.

advantage of the best points of both
the French-and British tactics. It is
considered probable that many of the
British officers selected for this as
signment will be Americans who have
been serving in the British or French
divisions.
American soldiers on Wednesday will
see men advance under artillery bar

course, be only a practice barrage, but

those who came last night kept at a
very high altitude, and while their ma
chines could be heard, they could not
be seen. Nevertheless British, airplanes
went up in pursuit.
After dropping bombs over a wide
area, many falling into fields or the
sea, thu raiders departed as quickly as
they came.
In addition to the naval casualties
one civilian was killed and six were
injured. The Secretary of the Admir
alty reports that in the course of the
air raid, last night the following cas
ualties were caused to naval ratings:

A dispatch to the Star from Chatham

last night's air raid, this causing se
rious loss of life. The Chatham dock

caped damage.

LONDON. Sept. 4. Continuing their

count of these operations was givea
out today:

at midnight Sunday on the docks, sub

Bruges. Bombs were observed to ex
plode over the objectives and fire was
caused adjacent to the lock gates of
the Ecluse Canal.
"A raid also was made early Mon
day morning on the airdrome at Vars
senaere miles southwest of
Bruges). Bombs were seen to explode
among the sheds. One of our machines

BOND BILL TO PASS
Adoption as ; Reported - by
Committee. Probable.
NO OPPOSITION APPARENT
Provision Is for $11,538,045,460
and President Desires No Check
hy Congress New Loan to
Allies Under Discussion.
WASHINGTON. Sept. -4.Fassage' of
the $11,538,945,460 war bond and cer
tificate bill by the House in virtually the
form it was reported from committee
seemed assured tonight, after four
hours of general debate on the meas
ure. All parties are united in support
ing the general features of the bill,
and a fight by Representative Moore,
of Pennsylvania, for his proposed
amendment to create a war expendi
tures committee probably will not delay
the vote beyond late tomorrow.
President Wilson let it be known at
the White House today that he still
opposed any. Congressional war com
mittee, and Administration leaders im
mediately laid plans to strike out the
Moore proposal on a point of order.
Mr. Moore then introduced it as a sepa
rate bill, so if it is defeated as an
amendment he still will have another
chance to bring it up.
Mr. Moore devoted much of a long
speech on the bond measure to his
amendment, declaring that Congress
was in the dark on much of the Ad
ministration's financial transactions.
By questioning he also drew from Rep
resentative Fordney, of Michigan, rank
ing Republican member of the ways
and means committee, a statement that
he favored a war expenditures com
mittee. House Leaders) Agree.
Both Democratic Leader KItchin and
Representative Fordney presented the
bond bill to the House, urging that if
the United States is to remain in the
war. Congress must vote the bonds, as
the necessary money cannot be raised
by taxation.
The question of making a new $4,000,
000 loan to the allies is the only real
one before the House, Mr. Kitchin in
sisted. Their cause and the cause of
the United States are one, he added,
and the United States is - obliged to
make the loan. -
Mr. Kitchin was before the House for
more than an hour, replying much of
the time to a running fire of good
natured questions. No serious opposi
tion to the bill appeared, but he was
asked to explain its "many intricate
points. One of his statements in reply
to a query was that about 80 or SO
per cent of the money already loaned
the allies had been expended in this
country, and that he thought 75 per
cent of the newly proposed loan also
would be spent here.
Speaker Favors Taxation.
After indorsing the bill generally and
declaring that he intended to support
it if it could not be amended, Mr. Ford
ney went on record as opposing both
the proposed taxation of bonds and
the failure to put a limit on their con
vertibility. Four per cent, Mr. Fordney
said, was as high a rate of interest as
the Government should be compelled
to pay.' and more probably will have
to be paid on the bonds now being au
thorized if they are made convertible.
Speaker Clark interrupted Mr. Ford
ney to . say. that he favored paying
more of the war debt by taxation than
the bill contemplates.
"I understand you to say." the
Speaker said, "that we should carry
on this war principally by the issue of
bonds instead of levying ' taxes. That
ends this way: The men who survive
the fighting will come back and help
pay this very war debt."
"That is true," replied Mr. Fordney.
The Speaker then -added - that he
thought the debt might be divided
