14 TlllS MORNING OREGONIAX, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1917. IDAHO'S SENATOR WOULD PAY PRESS Effort Made to Use Part of Ap i propriation for Selling Bonds in Newspaper Advertising. BUSINESS METHODS URGED Amount Proposed to Be Spent in Liberty Loan Campaign Would Have Been Less Than $5,000,000. THE OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, "CTahTngton, Oct. 8. (Special.) Sen ator Brady, ot Idaho, made an unsuc cessful figrht for an amendment to the new bond issue bill which would have authorized the Secretary of the Treas ury to pay newspapers for advertising end giving publicity to the second lib erty loan. The Senator made a strong- defense of his amendment and maintained that if American bankers are to be paid for their work in connection with floating this loan the newspapers, whose pub licity is worth quite as much as the personal effort of bankers, should be compensated also. The Senate was giv en to understand, however, that Secre tary SIcAdoo finally had objected to paying for newspaper space, and on this showing the Brady amendment was defeated. In pressing and explaining his amend ment Senator Brady said: "The Secretary of the Treasury said before the finance committee: I have felt all along: I am perfectly frank to say. that if the Government entered upon a campaign of advertising in the newspapers it ought to pay for it at rea sonable rates, because the only commodity the newspapers have is advertising, and we 'Ught not to ask them to give it for noth ing, any more than to ask the steel mills to give their product for nothing or the farmers to give thfir produce to the Gov ernment for the purposes of the war. We dirt not enter upon a paid campaign of ad vertising. Kverything of that sort was done by voluntary subscription and voluntary ef fort. "Those who have carefully studied the liberty bond advertising compute that $5,000,000 in advertising was uratuitously contributed." Senator Brady then offered this amendment: Provided, that one-fourth on the one fourth of 1 per cent herein provided shall le used under the control and direction of the Secretary of the Treasury for purchas ing space in the newspapers and other periodicals of the United States for the pur pose of advertising the bonds authorized under this act. "The Secretary of the Treasury is going to use newspaper space in adver tising, and we might as well have it done under our authority and direction as to have him do it voluntarily, for he certainly says in his statement that that is what he is going to do. If that be so, I want to say further that this money should be used fairly and equit ably In all the papers, without regard to their political affiliations or Influ ence in the political world; and if there can be any safeguard of that kind thrown around this matter I should be only too glad to have it done, and I know the newspapers of this country leel the same way. "We are authorizing the payment' of one-fourth of 1 per cent for the selling of these bonds. We are authorizing it on the entire ?7,000.000,000, and we have already marketed $2,000,000,000 of bonds, with an oversubscription of over a. billion dollars. That being the case," it demonstrates that we have marketed these bonds for less than one-fifth of 1 per cent. In my judgment, the bank ers of this country would feel that they had received a good commission if they could receive one-fourth of 1 per cent for marketing $7,000,000,000 of bonds. Business Methods Urged. "Every paper in this country during the sale of the last issue of bonds con tributed space free of clmrge, wrote editorials favoring the bonds in every way possible, gave space, many of them, for advertising without a cent of remuneration; and why not let us, if we are going to spend one-fourth of 1 per cent, spend one-fourth of that amount for advertising in the newspapers? It will make a smaller amount than $5, 000,000 and it will be distributed fairly throughout all the United States; and it seems to me that it is only just and fair that we should sell these bonds in accordance with regular business meth ods. If any banker or trust company or large concern were going to sell these bonds they would not hesitate a moment to use the space in the news papers for advertising purposes. Then why should not the Government do the same?" MILL MEN ASK TROOPS Governor Lister Requested to Leave Guar dat Raymond. OLYMPIA, Wash., Oct. 11. (Special.) Kred A. Hart, legislative representa tive from Pacific County: C. Ij- Lewis, W. H. Turner and other prominent mill men today requested Governor Lister to recommend retention of small bodies of troops for guard duty about Ray mond to prevent any possible inter ference with the cutting of airplane spruce for war use.

All sorts of garb were in evidence. those in evening attire representing late arrivals from early functions, the Cherniavsky concert and the Dooly- Jones wedding, as well as numerous little dinner parties many of which were held in the Arcadian Gardens as a prelude to. the delightful concert in the lobby. Both the ballroom and as sembly hall on the mezzanine floor were used for the merrymakers and the overflow danced in the lobby, where an orchestra took the place of the Elks Band, the latter giving the big and charming concert earlier in the even ing. At convenient corners in the ballroom and the lobby, punch tables were placed and on each was a box for voluntary donations for the soldiers, in lieu of a regular fee for the punch. Receiving the vast throng of guests were the president of the euxiliary, E. v. Hauser; vice-president, Andrew R. Porter; treasurer, J. Bowland; secre tary. Miss Catherine O'Sullivan; as sistant secretary, M. Hoffman, chair man of the entertainment of the com mittee, H. H. Cloutier.

T seems as if there was a peculiar magnetism to Jim." said his mother, "the way dirt clings to him." "Yes." his father acknowledged, "he gathers dirt as a puppy does burdocks." And still the psychologists say that children have "an instinct for cleanli ncss. They point to tne fact that even a 2-year-old will brush off mud or gum if you stick it to the back of his hand. What must it be that hinders this Im pulse, which has been proverbially said to be next to godliness? One difficulty is that there happen to be other instincts that are stronger, that collide with this one. The play impulse is one of them. Almost no play that is worth while can be pursued successfully without getting into dirt Baseball, shinny, marbles, paddling rafts, cooking in the woods, as exam ples. Then how can any boy play with his dog without getting dirty? "It Is as difficult. says Edward Puller, "to find a sanitary son as a prophylactic pup." Hunger also competes with cleanli ness. When a boy is famished it is a good deal to ask -that he should wash clear round his neck. There are compensations. A per fectly sanitary child is usually a sissy. Sun sanitates dirt, and better it is for a child to play in the air and the dirt than to sit in the shadow of a. white collar. The dirt from play is, on the whole, "clean dirt." They Don't Notice Dirt. Boys are not supersensitive. They are not roused by smells. They feel no dismay when they find, they have used the wrong toothbrush. It does not trouble them to apply the hairbrush to their shoes. One handkerchief will last a boy a long time, and for many services. When washing it is easier to wipe first. The dirt in football moleskins is regarded as honorable as dints in coats-of-mail. Parents are often unreasonable in the way they dress their children for play. A mother dons an apron when she is about to engage in a soiling task, but some mothers dress their lads in white when they send them out to Friday and Saturday Dresses and Coats THE COATS!

It Is a good deal to expect that a live boy will remain as immaculate as a trained nurse. If you make cleanliness convenient, most boys will keep reasonably clean. Why make washing up uncomfortable? A boy objects to having his ears washed, not merely because he cannot see the dirt, but because it hurts. Kvery doctor will tell you that you ought never to put Into a hoy's ear anything smaller than your elbow. Boys come out of the school or Y. M. C. A. gymnasium sleek and shining, chiefly on account of the handy show ers. I know a boy who took the trou ble to Invent a shower bath by punc turing a pan with holes and fitting the inlet with a stopcock and putting the contrivance over his bathtub. You can buy something much better for a dol lar. liar Will Come. Associate cleanliness with a boy's athletics. Make it a daily and not a company custom. Have the apparatus handy, and time will do the rest. There will come a day when, without any urging on your part, your son will wash the "spotless till it glows, shave the invisible till it hurts, and comb the combative till it flattens. Why? Wherefore? As well try to unscrew the inscrutable. To the Editor: How shall I treat lft hanriednesa in my boy of , who la Jut be ginning to learn to write? ANXIETY. Don't "treat" it- The condition is natural and in no way disturbing. In such a case the left measurements are often distinctly greater than the right. W. Franklin Jones cites a boy whose left humerus was a quarter Inch longer, and whose length of left hand, circumference of left arm and peri meter of left hand were distinctly greater than of the right. It would be a crime to neglect these splendid pos sibilities only to develop the meager possibilities of the right hand. One finely developed left arm would mean much more to a surgeon, for example, than two imperfectly developed arms. Moreover, it often is serious to thwart nature. The right arm is con trolled by the left side of the brain, and vice versa. If we try to get the We Do Not Use Cunning Signs or Sale Names , THE NEW 288 MORRISON ST., CORBETT BLDG.
