This is Fire Prevention day in Portland and old man Vulcan . is due for an awful wallop somewhere be tween the tip of the chin and the top of the head. Plans of celebration indicate that the city will take its longest step toward eradicating the causes of fires. The celebration is looked upon as doubly important this year because of the element of conservation which is being drilled into the public by the Federal Government and which will be a big feature of today's celebration. As far as the public generally is concerned the big event of the day is the fire prevention parade slated to move through the streets at 12:30 o'clock. All kinds of interesting features, military, civic, patriotic, com mercial and industrial, will be seen. As far as immediate elimination of fire hazards is concerned the big events will be inspections to be made by school children and business men. The city will swarm with inspectors. AddrfisM to Be Made. At each school In the city a speaker and a fireman will talk on fire preven tion to all classes above the -fourth and every child will be appointed deputy fire marshal with special jurisdiction over his or her home. Each child will be given an inspection blank to take home and fill out blank spaces indicating the status of the home as far as fire hazards are concerned. These inspection reports, some 20,000 in number, will be returned to the school and forwarded to Fire Marshal Toung who will have regular fire in spectors check upon some of them and rate the schools on the correctness of the reports made. The blank forms given the children contain all kinds of information which children will absorb showing just what constitutes fire hazards. The children by knowing that these dangers exist in their homes will see that they are corrected. It is intended that the children will be so well informed in fire prevention that they will be in spectors on duty at their own homes all the time. Business Men Are Inspector. Forty committees of business men named by various civic organizations will inspect business houses, factories and other places not listed as- homes. They will make reports on conditions and suggestions for changes essential to better fire protection and decreased fire danger. Hundreds of attractive floats will be In the parade at noon. Committees working on the parade reported in to Chairman Frank, of the parade com mittee, last night that they have had unqualified success. Floats of every description will be out in force. Each float and each automobile and other vehicle in the parade will bear a fire prevention slogan giving some informa tion or advice. The parade will be headed by a mili tary band and a section of soldiers from Vancouver Barracks. There will be four sections in the. line, each headed by a marshal. Governor Withy combe mounted on his pet horse will he grand marshal with Fire Marshal Young and the Hunt Club as official - escorts. This first section will in clude displays by W. B. Ayer, food ad ministrator for Oregon; city officials, features by the Public Safety Comms sion and interesting floats and dis plays. Apparatus to Be Shown. The second section will be made up of the city's fire fighting units. There will follow in succession the fire machines in the order in which they have been installed in Portland, start ing from the old hand-drawn pumpers pulled by some of the veteran fire fighters and ending with the high power gasoline pumpers of today. The United States Forest Service will have an attractive exhibit of its forest fire fghting machinery. The Oregon Forest Fire Association will have a large truck with a log three feet in diameter arranged into a float representing the state's timber and lumber resources. F. A. Elliott, state forester, also will participate. V The third section will be made up of floats and automobiles entered by civic clubs and organizations. The fourth section will take in floats entered by business establishments. There will be hundreds of them of every conceivable design, but all having to do with fire prevention.

BOYS' PATRIOTISM LAUDED Charge Against Man Who Toole Po tatoes From Own Lot Dismissed. Actuated by patriotic motives, Del bert Day and Russell Meyer, two high school lads, obtained permission . from Samuel Buckles, whom they thought had the authority, to cultivate two va cant lots in St. Johns. They accord ingly had the lots prepared and planted them to potatoes. Recently the real owner of the premises, .Frank Van Bibber, harvested the crop from one of the lots, taking one-third of the yield. 350 pounds, . for his. share. The boys had him arrested on a charge of tres pass. Judge Bell yesterday dismissed the charge against Van Bibber, holding that the complainants neglected to se cure permission to use the. lots direct from the owner himself. However, he commended the patriotism of the high school lads. Testifying for the prosecution, Mr. Buckles said that Mr. Van Bibber told him he could, either plant the lots or could dispose of that privilege. The defendant said he could not recall giv ing this permission. Kelso licague Elects Officers. KEL80, Wash.. Oct. 8. (Special.)
