Echwab, director-general of the Emer gency Fleet Corporation, and Charles Tiez, vice-president and general man iFcer. reached here this morning for a visit of three days. They come from California ports, where much has been lone toward bridging the Atlantic with ships and they know many of the spans Intended for that bridge are being as sembled here in the form of vessels. Portland and Oregon are in a most receptive mood as regards the message. Its importance is only guessed at and one of its features is fully expected to deal with the new plant of the North west Steel Company, which is to be lo cated on property south of that of the Coast Shipbuilding Company. I'Muncltlnsrs to Total 21.000 Tods. And to prove to the party that the owners and workers in yards of the Oregon district have not been idle, it is proposed to launch almost as many nhlps as were floated on the river July 4. when the entire United States com tiined in a ship launching demonstra tion. At least 20.000 shipworkers will be in tonights parade in honor of the party and by that time new ships will liave been floated, the combined ton liage of which will exceed the esti mated number of men to march. It expeciea to launcn zi.uuu tons of new chips during the day.

BT LEONE CASS BAER. mHE fluffy-ruffled, pink satin, ut terly senseless apron that Mar paret Anorlin thT-nws crelesslv across her chiffon-clad knees to hold her knitting in Billeted" served as something for us to talk about. Miss Anglin. you must know, is intensely patriotic and she says the pink apron which is quite un-Anglinish but which goes with the play, and the role of the frivolous, incompetent Betty, which she plays, reminds her of a lot of women she's been meeting since the war be gan. "They can't be called slackers." she says, "because on the surface they're busy as pots of tea. You've met the type, I'm sure, the ones who gurgle that they're so tenderly anxious to help win the war, and all that sort of thing, don't you know. They go round talk ing all the while about doing their bit. They work once in two weeks at the bandage-rolling room after they have gerrymandered their way into the one which most meets their ideas of social justice and possibilities. Grey Sock Never Gets Done. "She carries the ugly grey sock she is knitting for some soldier right in the same bag with the lovely robin's-egg blue slipover she is knitting for her self, and knits, of course In public, im partially on sock and sweater. Some how the sock never gets done, however, and the sweater does and another one is always being made. "She would write to some soldier, too, only she's such a poor correspondent, and she'd have joined the canning clubs only they always seem to meet on the day her bridge club meets. She works. In a picture hat and a modest corsage bouquet of orchids at the booths for various drives every time they give her a chance to be stationed in one of the smart restaurants and hotels. She learns every blessed word of "The Star Spangled Banner and then pretends she's never forgotten it since) she was a wee little girl. Learning the words alone," pines Miss Anglin, "is oftentimes enough in itself for a lot of the sisterhood, and I'm certainly in favor of all of us knowing the words, but why lie about it? If you've only lately learned them, admit It. If they're a memory herit age from early schooldays, so much the better; you deserve credit for remem bering them. wiiiimiiiimimmnii.iiiiMHHiiniiniiiMMiHHiiiiiiimm Considered Fuany, woman to me In my This Woman "The funniest collection is one who grows vegetables. dash or onions, four or five radishes and odds and ends of greens in her window boxes and on the balcony of the sleeping porch, and then eats eight lumps of sugar in her chocolate and buys flowers for her personal use, "Consistency's name certainly is woman, one is led to believe lneofar as some of our dear sex express it. x met one awfully funny person jaieiy. ne wore the most gorgeous sport clothes I've ever seen, and like every one else with a guilty conscience. kept excusing herself.

She said, 'It would be per recny ridiculous tor me not to wear smart, up-to-date clothes because my conversation doesn't sparkle and scin tillate like that of t.ie other girls In my set and I have to compete in one way or another." "So," said Miss Anglin, "she was out shining her sisters in clothes. "Mourners go about the street and write to the papers wailing about what seem to them vital matters. One woman howls because fountain dls pensers have advanced the price of sodawater from ten to fifteen cents, and a flock of women I know carry lumps of sugar around with them to add to the restaurant allotment. "Which do you think is most import ant, mat tne boys over there and our allies fighting in the trenches shall have sugar, or that the fat old girls and men who stay at home shall stuff themselves with sugar and sweetened carDonaiea water: inere Is so very mucn to Durden our hearts and sadden us these days, and so much we can do, without worrying over sodawater. I think we women should eat and drink what we have and do It with thankfulness that extends into the marrow of our bones. When this awful war is done the soda cooties can drink all they're able to pay for. But I do wish, she added plaintively, "that lot of soda hounds I know who whine in my presence about being denied their beverage would learn to drink water. The Lord will approve their motives and remember it in days that are to come. being made by Mr. Schwab, Mr. Pies and Dr. Eaton. The Sunday itinerary has not been definitely fixed, the party being al- owed time to themselves, with prob ably a trip over the Highway. Monday they will inspect the plant the Willamette Iron & Steel Works 9 o'clock, that of the Albina Engine Machine Works at 10 o'clock and the yard of the Supple-Ballin Shipbuilding Corporation at 11 o'clock. At noon the isitors will be guests of the wooden hipbuilders of the district, and there will be conferences with Emergency eet Corporation officials and their ssistants during the afternoon. At 7 ock Monday night they will be en- ertained at dinner at the Benson by the management of the steel shipbuild- ng establishments here, and they are to depart for Puget Sound at 11:30 'clock that night. 3 BOYS HELD FOR THEFT POLICE WAR OX YOUTHS WHO ARE STEALING AUTOMOBILES.

ATTORNEY TO GIVE OPINION Mayor Baker Seeks to Know I-cgal Status of Commissioners Bigelow and Kcllahcr and City Auditor Funk Aftc June 30, 1919. The question of the tenure of office of three city officials. City Commission ers Bigelow ana iveiianer ana tity Auditor Funk, has been referred to City Attorney LaRoche by Mayor Baker for an opinion. Different opinions have been offered from time to time as to the date when the incumbents must release their po sitions, one theory belnir that under the constitutional amendment adopted by the 1914 Lenlslature and referred to and approved by the voters will mnk an election next November necessary. commissioner Bigelow is serving: a term which expires June 30. 1919. Com missioner Kellaher was appointed to fill the unexpired term of Commission er Baker and Citv Auditor Funli was appointed to fill the unexpired term of Auditor. Barbur. Both of the latter terms of office expire June 30. 1919. The constitutional amendment re quires that city elections shall be held in conjunction -with Ktnfe nrt National elections, using; the same Judges and election machinery for both elections. The argument has been advanced that, should no election be equired this year, the Incumbents effected will con tinue to serve in tbeir present positions until their successors have been elected In the eener'l election in November. 1920. On the oher hand, the argument has been mad' that If the law is construed to optfonRl as to when the election must be held, the city will be forced to hold an election this Fall to select the men to hold the three offices for the term beginning July 1. 1919. City Attorney LaRoche and Deputy City Attorney lilndman are worklnp on a report covering tho various points, which will bo ready for the council early next week. More than 8.
