THE ' MOUSING OREGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1917.
EMBLEM IS ADOPTED
Plan to Observe Hoover Pledge
Is Made Simple.
MEATLESS DAYS REALITY
Proprietors of All Restaurants, Ho
tels, CaTes, Cafeterias and Other
Eat I rip Places AV111 Be Asked
to Show Their Colors.
All patriotic Portlanders, anxious to
give their loyal support to Herbert C.
Hoover and his plan to help win the
war by conserving food, will have the
way made easy for them, in the very
near firture, when it comes to the choice
of a place to cat.
Like a friendly sign pointing- the
way, the official emblem of the United
States Koud Administration, will be in
the window of every hotel, restaurant,
cafeteria or other eating place
where the proprietors have signed
tiie Hoover pledge and which is observ
ing the Hoover recommendations as to
meatless and wheatless days, avoiding
the unnecessary use of butter fats and
sugar, eliminating bacon or bits of
toast as garnitures and otherwise fol
lowing the Hoover plans.
Ilrt n tirnntit to Show Color.
"It will be very simple," said Chair
man Jl. W C'hiids, of the hotel and
restaurant men's committee appointed
by Federal Food Administrator W. li.
Ayer, last night. "The eating place
displaying the official emblem will be
the place that is supporting the United
States Kood Administration. The eat
ing place without the emblem will be
the one that' is refusing, or with
holding its support of the necessary
National food conservation movement.
For the true American there can be
but one choice."
The official emblems. State Fed
eral Food Administrator W. B. Ayer
was notified by telegram from Wash
ington yesterday, have already left
National headquarters and are now on
their way.
"They are due to arrive In Portland
within a few days," said Mr. Ayer, "and
as soon as we have them, they will
be distributed through the hotel and
restaurant men's executive committee
to the eating places that have signed up
the Hoover pledge and are . observing
the prescribed regulations. This will
mean that they will be immediately
displayed by practically all the lead
ing hotels, restaurants and cafeterias in
the city, as only a few have failed to
sign the Hoover pledge. These few
will, we feel sure, soon come under
the Hoover banner and sign up with
the rest."
Official Emblem Adopted.
The arrival of the official emblems
and their display in the windows of
the eating places that have signed the
pledge is expected by the local con
servation chief and his staff to great
ly stimulate the conservation move
ment. "Those who have been postponing
their pledge-signing, or turning a deaf
ear to our committee," said Mr. Childs,
"will then see that it is very Important
that all should sign up and adopt the
Hoover schedule. Proprietors of any
hotel, restaurant, cafeteria, boarding
house, or other establishment serving
food to the public, who wish to secure
a pledge or inquire as to any details,
should telephone or call on me at the
Hotel Portland. We should like to have
every public eating place in the city
signed up and entitled to an official
emblem for . display, as soon as the
emblems arrive."
POLICE WANT MORE PAY
INCREASE OF 23 PER CEXT AND
THREE-SHIFT SYSTEM SOUGHT.
Cbief Johnson Promise Early Consid
eration, So Matter Will Go Before
Council at Once.
With ultimatums and strikes the or
der of the day, 150 members of the
police bureau held a mass meeting in
the clubrooms at the station yesterday
morning to present to Chief Johnson
their petition for the changing of the
three-shift system and for an increase
of 25 per cent in salary, both to take
effect November 1.
Chief Johnson met the jaien and
promised early action on the matters.
He was unable, however, to make any
promises.
In past years it has been the custom
of the administration to keep the day
relief intact from month "to month,
compelling the night, men to work
either on the first or second' night re
lief. In spite of the fact that with inau
guration of the three-shift system they
would be compelled to work on the
first and second night reliefs two
months of every three. 43 members of
the day relief were present yesterday
morning and voted unanimously for the
adoption of the three-shift system.
If the demands of the men are grant
ed it will mean that not only will the
beat men be changed automatically
from the night to the day relief, but
that desk men,1 captains and traffic
officers will also be affected.
It is probable that Mayor Baker and
the City Commissioners will take early
action on the demands of the men.

Bay. Miss Fischer is a good swimmer.
but when . the heave of a big swell
capsized her small boat she became
entangled in one of the tholepins which
held her under water, despite her ut
most efforts to free herself. Jack
Mower, who plays Lord Raleigh in the
picture, was standing at the rail when
Miss Fischer s boat upset and he re
garded the incident as a good joke

pear after sinking. Then Mower took

great exertion got Miss Fischer out,
though not until she had lost con
sciousness.
