False Report Regarding Con
sumption of Foods by
Brewers Corrected.
DRY MOVEMENT IS BLAMED
Oregon I'ood Conservation Chair
man Quotes Letters From Her
bert Hoover Challenging Truth
fulness of Reports.
To set. aright the misinformation that
vast quantities of sugar and wheat are
being: used by brewers for the manufac
ture of beer while housewives and res
taurant men are being urged to con
serve the supply for the allies, Arthur
51. Churchill, state food conservation
-halrman. of the Unitel States food ad
ministration, lias investigated the sub
ject to get definite information on the
amount of sugar consumed by brewers.
"To make sure that there had been no
mistake in my original advices in re
tard to this matter, 1 telegraphed Mr.
Hoover for the facts," said Mr.
Churchill. "My statements had been
contradicted by an offhand remark in
a speech by Representative Randall, of
California, who said that millions of
pounds of sugar were used in brewing
beer. Mr. Hoover's reply was definite.
"He said: 'Statistics show that no
cane or beet sugar is used In brewing.
Any brewer will verify this. Our pres
ent food administration distribution
plan makes no provision for sugar for
brewers and no request has come from
any brewer for sugar under this plan.
All eo-called sugar used by brewers in
beer is glucose or grape sugar. They
are identical. This is not a sweetening
Ingredient, but is used solely for start
ing yeast fermentation and only a small
amount of glucose is used for this pur
pose.' Glucose Favorite Product.
"I think it is not difficult to see
where Mr. Randall, in possibly a hasty
preparation for debate, has gone
estray," continued Air. Churchill.
"Somewhere he has seen & statement
that some grape sugar was used in
brewing certain kinds of beers and ales
and has not stopped to realize that
grape sugar is not sugar in the sense
the food Administration uses the term.
Grape sugar in commerce is powdered
or evaporated glucose. Glucose is corn
syrup, it has much less sweetening
power than sugar and is not exportable
to our allies for the same purposes. It
is not scarce. Indeed, there Is a large
surplus of it. Most of this year's corn
crop was soft and fit to be turned into
only such products as glucose. So far
as asking that it be especially con
served, the Food Administration has
unceasingly urged that it be used as
a substitute for sugar.
"The sugar of commrece, the only
product that is generally called sugar,
and the only article of its kind the
Food Administration is asking the
people to stint themselves on, is can
and beet sugar.. None of this is used
In beer.
Hoover Letter Is Quoted.
"This mistake about the sugar used
In brewing is much like the mistake
that people thoughtlessly make about
the grain used in beer. There is no
"wheat used in beer and wheat is the
only grain the Government is trying
to restrict.
"Within the past week Mr. Hoover's
statement has made the issue very
clear. . Some barley and a little corn,
broken rice and glucose are used in
beer. The loss in foodstuffs is but a
very small part of the total crops of
these cereals about 1 per cent. Isone
of these grains are essential or scarce
foods.
"In a letter to Morris Sheffield, of
Texas, the Senate prohibition leader,
Mr. Hoover said:
" 'It needs no comment from me from
a food point of view that I should favor
the saving of this amount of grain. But
it does seem to me that there are tem
perance issues involved of 6uch tre
mendous moment that they outweigh
the use of the reduced amount of food
stuff in brewing. If brewing were
stopped today, beer would disappear
from the liquor trade within one or two
months, and the whole country be put
practically on a whisky, brandy and gin
basis, with some supplies of wine.
ISry Movement Scented.
"The saloons would be left open and
upon a basis of selling drinks carry
ing 40 to 50 per cent alcohol, with
pome small supplies of wine, instead
. -of a large proportion of their customers
being served with a drink 2 9i per cent
alcoholic and from a temperance view
point much less harmful. It raises the
very serious moral problem as to
whether infinitely more damage will
not result from such action than a con
tinuation of the use of a limited
amount of foodstuffs in brewing.
"Meanwhile, Senator Jones, of Wash
lngton. Has introduced a bill to pro
hibit the sale, transportation and im
portation of liquor of all kinds during
the war, This will stop the sale of
the three-year supply of whisky now
in bond (though its manufacture was
Mopped last year), over which the
Food Administration has no control

"Tarzan of the Apes." the second of
a series of unusual productions coming
to the- Liberty Theater, is the great
est screen novelty of the year. In its
original form the story by Edgar Rice
Burroughs really created one of those
'sensations" which producers so often
claim as resulting from their offer-
ng, but which so seldom occur at all.
And in its unusualness, its plot so
widely different in conception from
anything except Kipling's "Jungle
Books," makes it a real treat for the
film millions.
Burroughs' story is a weird tale that
cannot help but hold the interest.
Thrill follows thrill, there is not a
moment when the action is not fast, and
audiences will find themselves follow
ing the history of Tarzan so closely
that nothing else will matter for the
time being. With a story constructed
about the theft of a child from his
parents by a band of apes and brought
up in the jungle by them until he be
comes a man, naturally the realism
depends upon the jungle scenes, and
the degree of the primitive with which
the players temper their performances.
The apes, in all instances but one hu
mans skilfully covered with skins, are
well in the atmosphere of the jungles
save for a few closeups. And the jungle
stuff, which includes mazes of tangled
underbrush, trees shooting off parallel
to the earth and varieties of tropical
vegetation, is remarkable to the point
of being amazing.
It is Tarzan's adventures that are
of chief interest. Aa the boy his time
s occupied solely with the apes until
the lost sailor, Binns, finds him, and
teaches him the rudiments of the Eng
lish language. His realization that
he is other than an ape, his discovery
of the hut of his parents, how he uses
knife on the enemy of his foster-
mother, the gorilla; his nimble escape
from a lion; these and various other
episodes of his life are brought out
with irresistible f ascinatioh. Grown
to manhood, his life consists of fight
ing the blacks, the enemies of the
apes, and learning the ways of the Eng
lish when he is rescued. All this, com
bined with the parallel story of the
Greytokes in England, usually played
in comedy and always lightly, lorms a
two-hour show of fine entertainment.
Elmo Lincoln, a giant in size, gives
wonderful interpretation of Tarzan.
Enid Marker is attractive as the Eng
lish girl, while other players are George
French. True Boardman. Kathleen
Kirkham and Thomas Jefferson.

Elliott Dexter, who has the role of
Charles Murdock, is one of the screen's
most talented and versatile leading
men.
Theodore Roberts portrays the role
of Berkeley, the voluptuary. He is a
veteran of the stage and screen and
will be remembered for innumerable
fine characterizations.
Sylvia Ashton is seen as the wife who

is gone, becomes a veritable slattern
and loses her husband's respect and
love.

It is fitting that the role chosen to
introduce Mary Garden to the silent
drama should have been that which

Massenet's opera. For she is natur
ally quite at home in the part, splend
idly sensuous, tigerish and tragic by
turns, employing all of the resources
of her art, if the vocal lure be ex

an extremely elaborate version of the
love story of the wanton and the holy
man. who converted her and Imper

striking, royally magnificent, and con
vey a vivid Impression of the pomp,
luxury and festal life of the vanished
age. in which Thais is supposed to
have queened it over many and ador

The story has to do with the love
affair of Paphnutlus, a. young blade of
Alexandria, and Thais. He becomes a
Christian, turns monk, retires to the
desert, and then returns to Alexandria
burning with the holy ambition to con
vert Thais. He accomplishes this in
the end and she turns nun, but he
falls madly in love with the beauty
and almost forets his vows.

first screen venture.
BIG LOAN IS APPROVED

Industrial Advancement of Portland
Recognised In Recent Action of
War Finance Corporation.
Recognition of the industrial ad
vancement of Portland is evidenced In
the authorization by the War Finance
Corporation of the first loan to be mad
under the act approved April 5, 1918,
to the Northwestern Electric Company
This loan of tl.000,000 was asked by
the Northwestern Electric to complete
the construction of Us big steam plan
to generate electricity being built nea
the mill of the Portland Lumber Com
pany. The plant win utilize waste from
the sawmill for fuel and will operate
a 10,000-kilowat power generatin
plant.
Development of the uses of electric
power in Portland during the past yea
has been so rapid as to tax the abilit
of the electricy companies to compl
with demands for electric:.! power. 1
was this situation that induced th
Northwestern to decide upon a steam
generating plant as a speedy means of
increasing current for immediate needs.
The plant, which will supply shipyards
and industrial plants, is to be ready
for supplying current to consumers
some time this Fall.
The loan was authorized at a meet
ing of the directors in Washington May
22. It is to run for two years and will
be made under section 7 of the act
through two large banking houses of
the Pacific Coast, on the notes of the
banks secured by first-mortgage bonds
of the company, supported by other
collateral. It will bear 6 per cent in
terest. It is presumed that the Anglo
and London-Paris National Bank will
be one of the institutions handling the
loan,' but this' is not yet announced.

BUNKER HILLHAS LESSON
War Today Expansion of Revolu
tion, Says Rev. E. Constant.
June 17 being the anniversary of the
battle of Bunker Hill, the Rev. Edward
Constant took occasion last night at
the Highland Congregational Church
to draw some lessons for today from
that event.
'Let us see to it that our democratic
terms do not degenerate into political
cant or jargon," he said. "We must
not allow ourselves to fall from the
high estate of the founders of our
Republic. America must be true to
herself or she will perish. The sol
diers of France hear the call of Joan
of Arc. We must listen to the call
of the men of Bunker Hill. The shades
of the fathers fall around us, and
like those sires of our National life
we must show ourselves to be patient
and courageous, faithful to our prin
ciples and unswerving in our trust in
Almighty God.
"Our work today is an expansion of
that of the Revolution. It is broader
and deeper, in keeping with the larger
ideas of the twentieth century. It is
both offensive and defensive. We
make war upon usurpation and tyranny
that we may preserve 'the rights of
men and nations. For freedom we
draw the sword, not for avarice and
aggression. In the language of Words
worth:
We munt be free or die. who apeak the
tongue
That Shakeipeare spoke.
"We stand for freedom for ourselves
and all the world. Men and nations
must be drawn together by goodwill,
so that we may have a federation of
states for the peace of the world."
BROTHERLY LOVE IS SUBJECT
Rev. Charles II. Johnston Speaks at
"The Little Brown Church."
Rev. Charles H. Johnston, pastor of
the University Park Church, known as
The Little Brown Church," preached
yesterday on brotherly love, taking as
his text:
"He that loveth not his brother.
whom he hath seen, how can be love
God, whom he hath not seen?"
Rev. Mr. Johnston said:
"Those slender, pointed spires, so
common a feature of our landscape, are
supposed to be typical of the function
of the church Itself in pointing away
from the earth to God and Heaven.

Mr., Mrs.,
Our text, however, establishes a very
close relationship between God and the
earth. In fact, my brethren, the finger
is pointed the other way. not to Heaven,
but to the brother we have seen, and
It Is through knowing and loving this
brother' that we are to know and love
the unseen God, and when we know
and love this brother God will no
longer be unseen.
"Beings whose eyes are centered in
the skies cannot see the things about
them. Star gazers are not men gazers,
and if we cannot see our brother we
lean neither know him nor love him.
neither can we know or love God. How
close the relationship between the un
seen God and my brother is, I am not
prepared to say now, but this I know
that should my mind lapse so far as to
forget to think of the unseen God and
devote Itself altogether to the welfare
and love of my brother that He (God)
will take that love and devotion as
bestowed upon Him."
