ACTIfi FOOD ATM IXISTRATOR WARNS DICK HUNTERS ASH OTHERS. Word was received at the of fice of Acting Food Administra tor Newell yesterday to the ef fect that 60 sacks of first-class wheat had been left on Sauvies Island for duck-hunting pre serves there by men who, be cause they are financially able, appear to be defying the plans of the Nation to conserve grain. "We have requested that no grain be used for hunting pre serves that is needed for food," commented Mr. Newell, "and un less this request is respected and this misuse of food grains is dis continued at once, we shall pub lish the names of those who are doing this thing." HUSTLER NO. 4 APPEARS SEWSBOTS' MAGAZINE BRIGHT AND INTERESTING. Sugar conservation has eet in throughout the state and much has al ready been done along this line, but yesterday Acting Federal Food Ad ministrator Newell dispatched orders to all confectioners in Oregon to cut their use of this product 50 per cent forthwith. It may be said, however, that the fact that an order has gone forth in no way Implies that such was required to bring the desired results, as it was declared at the office of the administrator that the confectioners have been very pa triotic concerning this big sacrifice, for such it is. Portland men engaged in the candy-making business have pledged their loyal support in the move and have agreed to curtail their out put as set by Herbert C. Hoover, Fed eral food administrator. This will entail the necessity of eliminating certain lines of the busi ness to a marked extent and will ne cessitate the substitution of other forms of sweets, such as fruits, worked into what may become popularly known as "conservation candies," and in which eyrups and molasses will be the chief sweetening ingredient, these not being limited as to quantity. Mr. Newell's order, sent to all Oregon confectioners yesterday, is as follows: Instructions have been issued from the Federal food administration at Washington that all candy manufacturers have been re stricted to 60 per cent of their normal sugar requirement during the present sugar short age, and I wish to call your attention to this order so that you may conduct your business In accordance with It. You will be required to make & definite statement to the wholesaler or refiner from whom you purchase your suyar that what ever supply you are asking for is only 50 per cent of your normal supply. Your dealer will be required to ask this statement from you for his protection, and if you' are found violating this rule the wholesaler will be forbidden to sell you any further supplies of sugar. Results of the food pledge campaign, both in the state at large and the city of Portland, have been excellent. Arthur M. Churchill, manager of the etlte cam paign, yesterday wired Heover to the effect that "slackers" are very few in Oregon. Everett Ames, city manager, said yesterday he believed the Portland per cent , will run as high as 98. The closing week is being used to clear up cases not previously satisfactory.

IRE INTEREST ASKED FIRST LIBERTY BONDS MAY BE EX CHANGED FOR LATER ISSUE. SALUTE'S ORIGIN FOUND Hand First Put to Brow to Protect Eyes From Queen's Radiance. Officers of the local naval recruiting station have taken the trouble to look up the origin of the military salute made familiar to civilians since the outbreak of the war. They trace it hack to the days of chivalry and say it had its origin in a. tribute to the ladies fair for whom the knights Jousted at the tournaments. At these gatherings a queen of beau ty was chosen to preside. The knights and their esquires, and all who took part in the tourney, on presenting themselves before the queen lifted each one a hand level with the brows, as though dazzled by the light of her pres ence. This same salute is still used as a recognition of a superior military rank, although formerly an acknowledgment of a higher social state and a tribute to feminine beauty.

( Another District Court jury yester day kept up the Almost unbroken run of acquittals when it returned a verdict of not guilty against K. Sato, proprie tor of a Japanese hotel, on a charge of bootleg-King-. Deputy Sheriffs found 10 cases, of whisky in the basement of his hotel at Front and Salmon streets, but his defense convinced the six ju rors that he had nothing- to do with the liquor. As in the other Japanese bootlegging: cases tried recently, the entire blame was placed on the shoulders of a mys terious Japanese known as Takahashi, who has never yet been under arrest, but who is supposed to have shipped a large quantity of whisky to Portland and distributed it around to various Japanese of this city. FREE RIDES CONTINUED COUNCIL DEFEATS MOTION TO MAKE CITV EMPLOYES PAY, Car Company Denied Relief Proposed by Public Service Commission, Only Aid City Could Give. The Portland Railway, Light & Power Company is to receive no relief from taxation burdens at the hands of the City Council. The question of elim inating the franchise provision requir ing the company to carry firemen, po licemen and certain other city employes free of charge was decided yesterday by the Council against the company. Aid along this line was the only re lief the Council has power to give. Rec ommendation that it be granted was made by the Public Service Commission, along with other recommendations which only the voters could decide. City Commissioner Mann made a mo tion at the Council meeting yesterday Instructing the City Attorney to pre pare an ordinance eliminating free rides. Commissioner Kellaher seconded it. Commissioner Bigelow then moved to amend the motion by placing the company's request on nie. uommis- Requeat for Conversion Must Be Signed ky Bond Holder and Sent to San , Francisco tor Approval. "iVhether or not to convert bonds of the first liberty loan issue, bearing 3',-j per cent, to those of the second loan, bearing 4 per cent, is now question that is .. being considered thoughtfully by purchasers of the first liberty securities. The process of con version is rather involved and 6ome bankers are suggesting that it will be as well if the holder of the earlier bonds sells at the market and buys the new 4a. Bonds of the first issue are converti ble to bonds of a later issue bearing a higher interest rate and if they are ex changed for 4s the latter may not again be exchanged for later issues that may bear still higher rates. But if the 3VaS are sold and 4s bought, the 4s may again be exchanged for a later and more productive issue if the Gov ernment decides to bring out such se curities. Pamphlets directing how the original bonds may be converted into bonds of the second loan are being received by local banks. A request for conversion -must be signed by the bond holder anxious to make the change and his bond must be sent to San Francisco by registered mail or express and the new bond returned in the same way. at the expense of the holder. Bond houses figure that if one sells an original bond at the present market he will lose perhaps 35 cents for each $100, but if he buys the new 4s and is thereby enabled later to convert them into a new issue bearing 4 per cent interest, if such securities are decided upon, he will not suffer loss, but will come out ahead on the deal. Of course one may hold his 3s and convert them later to a still higher is sue if it is forthcoming. CITY OFFICIAL PAROLED Fred Stadter Charged With Violat ing Traffic Regulations. Deputy City Attorney Fred Stadter was "hoist by his own petard" yester day morning, when he found a card in his auto notifying him that he was under arrest. He had left the machine standing on Morrison street, between Sixth street and Broadway, where autos are not allowed to stand, and Patrolman O'Brien had "tagged" it. Stadter duly presented the card at police headquarters and was paroled by Captain Moore. He promised not to repeat the offense. SPOUSE HELD PERJURER FALSE CLAIMS FOR DRAFT EX EMPTION ARE ALLEGED. M.

All Food No Waste! sioner Barbur seconded this motion and it was adopted. "I feel," said Commissioner Mann in explaining his recommendation in favor of the company, "that policemen and firemen are being given increased sal aries and they can afford to pay car fare." Commissioner Bigelow declared that free rides are included in the company's franchise. "Hold the company to its contract," he said. FLOORING FUMD STARTED Eugene Subscribes $150 for Tent Wood for O. A. C. Companies. EUGENE, Or., Nov. 7. (Special.) The members of the Second and Third companies of the Oregon Coast Artil lery, stationed at Fort Stevens, will soon have dry flooring for their tents. Charles S. Williams came home after a visit at the fort and reported that the boys were "going to bed at night and getting up in the morning in the mud." He declared that the construction of wooden barracks had been ordered, but that construction probably would take six months' time. At a meeting in the Chamber of Commerce last night $150 toward a fund of $250 necessary for the purchase of flooring for the tents occupied by the boys of the two com panies was subscribed. Arrangements were made today to complete the fund. ARTILLERY EN NEEDED RECRUITS WANTED FOR OREGON FORT ORGANIZATIONS.
