14 THE MORXIKG OREGONIAN. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1917. PORTUUID DAY SETS HEW FAIR RECORD Salem Is Smiling Hostess to 45,000 Happy Visitors, Who Come Frcm All Points. CHILDREN'S AWARDS MADE Only Sweepstakes Prize in State II for licht Arrangement and Wee orations and ' Is Captured by Clackamas County. SALEM, Or.. Sept. 27. (Special.) Tortland and the Klks turned a trick today which will long bo remembered In State Fair history. "While it wasn't exactly a Portland crowd that did it, nevertheless it was Portland day that saw the attendance soar high above anything in history, and it is believed that between 40,000 nnd 45.000 people saw the monster Btate Fair here today. : From every direction of the compass they came in automobiles, wagons, on bicycles, in baby cabs and on foot. Tcsterday was hailed as the banner day In history, but Miss Salem day smil ingly took off its hat to Portland today. It is a mark that probably will hold for some time when it comes to attend ance, and the main beauty of it was that everyone seemed to be satisfied. Special Brings 350. No attempt has been made to esti mate just how many Portland visitors came to the fair today. Up to noon trainload after trainload had been de posited by the two roads, and they were still coming. The Chamber of Commerce and Klks special brought 350 pepole. and that probably was the least among them as far as the crowded condition of the trains were concerned. Final awards were made in the chil dren's department today for the coun ties. No sweepstakes prizes were of fered for the state, save one for the best arrangement and decorations, this prize going to Clackamas County. Marlon Children Do Beat. In the general judging of children's exhibits by counties the awards went as follows: First or "Western District Marlon, 87.5, first; Polk. 83, second: Jackson, 78, third; Douglas, 68, fourth, and Clackamas, 67. fifth. Second or Eastern Oregon District "Wasco, 78. first; Malheur, 61, second; Morrow. 38, third. Judging of these exhibits was based on field products, garden products, do mestic science and arrangements. Low percentages of the Eastern Oregon counties must not tell against the value of their exhibits, judges de clared, as the long shipments mili tated against them in the number of products. The blue ribbon that went to Miss Beatrice Angus, of Mood River County, for the best canning display among the children, was regarded as one of the most merited awards at the fair. Miss Angus, a 16-year-old girl, had 720 quarts of vegetables and fruits of her own canning in one display, which is causing as much comment as any in dividual exhibit shown at the fair. T 1 j , . . ... iic j uugea aay tne cniicren'a ex hibits score higher at the fair this year than last, when they were several degrees higher than before. Cos Moser tm Speaker. The afternoon exercises were ad- oressea oy senator Gus C. Moser, of Portland. Senator Moser's address was patriotic and in concluding he declared: "And so in this greatest of wars In which we are engaged, we are still fighting for the protection of the lives, llDerty and the nnrmlt happiness of our own people as well as all the people of the world. "We do not know when the end shall come God speed the day but may it not do so until liberty shall have en shrined itself in the homes and fire sides of every civilized nation, and Old Glory shall come untarnished and unsullied from the field of strife, and a new civilization shall be born unto the world, the proud child of a noble ancestry. Uncle Sam." Mrs. Jane Burns Albert, of Portland, sang solos today, both afternoon and evening, singing at the banquet of the livestock men at night. Mrs. George McMath, of Portland, spoke today on conservation. The livestock parade, which -was to have been held today, was postponed until tomorrow at 2 o'clock, owing to the magnificent display of stock which has held up the judges from finish ing as soon as they expected. Gambling Charges Refuted. Reports made by members of the Purebred Livestock Association to the effect that there was gambling on the grounds were denied by Secretary Lea and- Chief of Police Carpenter today. "If there is gambling at the State Fair I know nothing of it and. can find nothing of it," declared Chief Car penter. Attention was directed to a number of concessions with fortune wheels and other paraphernalia In which chances are taken for prizes, but in each of, these it is reouired bv the management that a prize be given for every chance taken, which removes all elements of chance, Mr. Lea and Mr. Carpenter assert.

A aummary of the wprk of the Cham ber of- Commerce was mlmeojcraphed yesterday to send out to members so that all will bo Informed of the work being; carried on for the good of the city and state' by this body. In the statement TV. D. B.- Dodson, executive secretary, calls attention to the activities that might be overlooked by the community generally if not brought to attention in this way. Secretary Dodson pays In his report that the Chamber is an organization of business men, working to help busi ness, commerce. Industry and state de velopment. In this work the co-operation of every man and woman who believes in business is needed. Less destructive criticism and more loyalty to community interests. It is declared, will make for more rapid progress in the Chamber's work and state progress. Secretary Dodson points out that Oregon firms have today ship con struction contracts that aggregate in value about $100,000,000. More than half this total is for wooden ships and nearly all of the wooden ship contracts are for the Government. Private firms also are bidding on from 112,000,000 to $14,000,000 in added con tracts. Ship Construction Boosted. In securing steel contracts the Cham ber rendered help wherever oppor tunity presented. In addition to push ing the general programme of ship construction, the Chamber, it is said. ha3 been instrumental in bringing to Portland one or two of the. largest companies, brought the investors and management of another together for successful work, has directly' aided in securing several contracts for firms and could fairly be credited with having secured two contracts single handed. Secretary Dodson's report continues: "One of the greatest works of the Chamber is for a larger industrial payroll. Aside from the great gains made through shipbuilding which has already brought to the state about 14.000 laborers and will need rrom iuuu to 10,000 more by the close of the year. the Chamber is struggling to help every factory enterprise. Factories Are Canvassed. "For guidance of the Shipping Board in placing contracts lor snip parts here and to stimulate local companies in bidding on the same, a careiui canvass was maae oi tne tiv.ii.j local factories. This work has resuitea In helping to secure for home plants several hundred thousand aoiiars oi business. "The current month the Chamber, irnrkinir with local public-spirited citizens, placed here one of the largest soap companies of the country, the Portland factory being for manufactur ing cocoanut oil. This plant win nave an initial capacity as enlarged of 1500 tons per month of copra, and will prob ably be increased to 3000 or 4000 tons per month. This is one of the all-lm--t.,f industries for the city, as It takes return cargo for ships conveying lnnl nrrtHiirt SI outbound. "The Chamber has hired a special representative for the city and state at Washington, i. c, salary " mint a trtrretratinir about 475UU a year. This man s sole duties will be to work in the Government depart ments, aid the Congressional delegation in presenting state problems, seek new inj.,uro and RhiDDtng in Eastern cen- .H in e-eneral become an alert, aggressive business force for the com- iK o v-onr aero the Chamber was in debt above $30,000 on current liabili ties, was a month behind in payment of all its bills and faced serious financial difficulties. All these obligations have been paid off." " JAPANESE H HEW YORK ISHII atti his ASSOCIATES ARE WELCOMED, Official Greeting Is Clothed in All Dig nity Due to Envoys of Great Nation.

If Yon Mad Eyes Like a Microscope If your eyes magnified objects a thousand times, the way microscopes do, you would see in your own home the constant menace of disease in the form of minute germs. You would see these germs in many places sinks where grease has collected, drain-pipes, defective plumbing, toilets, garbage cans, and the cracks and crevices of floors and woodwork. You would also see how a small cluster of germs breed into thousands, and even millions, in an incred ibly short time. Then you would be able to picture the beginning of a terrible epidemic, starting from one little germ -group, and striking down whole families and communities. If, while watching a wriggling mass of germs under the microscope, you should touch them with a drop of Lysol, you would see all movement stop immedi ately, each germ become motionless, dead. Then you would know, as doctors know, how the spread of contagion is stopped, how homes are safeguarded from the ravages of disease, by the use of Lysol. It takes only a 25c bottle of Lysol to make two gal lons of reliable disinfectant which will clear the whole home of disease germs; a 50c bottle makes five gallons, JTunm sizes t 25c, SOe and Sold eoerytohttm Lysol Toilet Soap Lysol Toilet Soap contains Lysol, and therefore protects the skin from germ infection It is refreshingly soothing and healing and helpful for improv ing- the flcin.
