Na tlonal Junior vice-president of the or sanitation, with a reception tomorrow afternoon. Members of the corps will meet at Dawley Hall, East Thirty-fifth nd Yamhill streets, at 2 o clock to greet the visitor. September flowers In the air that made the dir one of pare delight. For an opening day the eshiWts were nearer in complete order than I ever before saw at any fair on any grounds. Surely It took work of the first order under direction far ahead of the aver age to round up the exhibits and whip (he exhibitors into line as naa oeeu done there this year. It never hap pened that way before during the dosen years the show has been given there, and it will take mighty good work te ever have it happen again. Portland ITrareal Attei There is sure to be but one thing lacklna- at this fair this year attend ance. It has seemed a mystery to me year after year to note the apathy with which the Portland people look upon this fair. The state sets aside a goodly mm each year for this Multnomah Conntv Fair, and surely Portland is in Multnomah County. There ought to be pride enough in the Portland people to swell the crowd of visitors up to at least a dosen thousand on the three last days of this fair.. More than that number frequently go to Salem on the Portland day of the State Fair, and at a cost of time and money sevenfold rreater than to attend the Gresham Fair. And what a delightful trip It is to be sure from Portland to Gresham. Whether you go by auto or by rail you pass through one of the finest farming sections or tne west, at a time or tne year when "the frost Is on the punkln and the corn is in the shock, or in other words when farm scenery Is at Its best. If you go by auto you will have the choice of three of the best roads in Oregon. The distance Is 18 miles, the time of the trip Is but little over half an hour. A at Trip la EtelightfaL By train, from First and Alder streets, the fare Is 25 cents for the round trip, the time consumed by the trip is 55 minutes, and there is practl cally a train each way every hour. So there Is not much excuse for the Port' land people neglecting their own fair, save the lack of inclination to attend. The management this year has again been fortunate In getting Campbell's American Band. Percy A. Campbell, leader, 'with Miss Dorothy Lewis, soloist, and Litha Kennedy, classic dancer. This band plays nearly all the afternoon on the bandstand and during the evenings at the ampitheater in the Beautiful grove adjoining, or a part of the fairgrounds. For those wishing for an evening's dance to fine music and under model conditions no better place can be found during fair week than on the Gresham fairgrounds. One of the great features of the f W0MEN5 H PatrioticService R ED CROSS workers at the Salvage cannot use tin cans of any sort at the present time. So large a number have come In. both of the salable ones, with lids, and the unsalable, from which the lids have been pried off. that the market Is temporarily glutted. At the Red Cross Shop, 106 Fifth street, sales for September already have passed the 81000 mark. Winter coats and many suits cut in styles suitable for vouns? men are In stock. Several 10-pound sacks of potato flour and rolled oats, several oil paintings, a re frigerator and a porch' screen are among; the most interesting recent gifts. The bookshelves show-a well bound three-volume history of Port land, by Joseph Gaston, Including -biographies of the many well-known Ore Eon pioneers.

The president of the Parent-Teach ers' Council called a meeting yesterday afternoon at the Central Library of the presidents of all the Parent-Teach era Associations, about. 25 of these be ins represented. They were addressed by Miss Emily Louise Plumley, repre senting the Government programme for social hygiene.

Arrangements have been made at the Red Cross Balvage shop, on the north east corner of Second and Oak streets, to take care of peach, pits, which are needed by the Government. Anyone having peach pits is asked first to dry thCm and then bring them to the sal vage store. Dr. Esther Clayson Lovejoy left Mon day night for Washington. D. C, after which she will enter upon an extended speaking tour for the war council of the American Red Cross. Dr. Lovejoy is to inform the people on the great need for a liberal support of the Ameri can Red Cross in its overseas work and on the completion of her speaking tour, probably -about Christmas, she J expects agin to sail for France. Now that Portland's gigantic house building machine has been assembled. its parts adjusted and found flawless. it only , remains for the great war Winning agency to be put into opera tion. Mayor Baker, master mechanic gave this approval to the assembled product yesterday afternoon and an nounced that arrangements had been made for placing it in operation at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon. At that hour, Portland's house building programme, which has been under serious consideration for the last week, is scheduled to be thrown into nigh," with no diminution of speed until 2000 or more cosy cottages, for use of shipyards workers, are com pleted and ready for occupancy. People Are Behind the Move. Monday night's mass meeting, held in Lincoln High School auditorium, dem onstrated the fact that the-people of Portland 'are behind the Interests that are taking an active part, in solving the problem, hourly becoming more se rious. The personnel of he committee appointed by Chairman Woodward met with the whole-hearted approval of Portland residents, and in order that these men may start actual operations, perfect permanent organization and se lect sub-committees. Mayor Baker yes terday issued a call for a meeting to be held' in his office at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon. The Mayor has taken the position that not a moment is to be lost if Port land's house-building machine is to ac complish those things assigned to It. And as he must go to Pendleton tonight in the interest of the liberty loan, to be absent from the city several days. he wants to have the satisfaction of knowinar that the war work here at home is not being neglected, nor in terest waning. . . Until forty years ago very little attention was paid to the proper fitting; of frames. The Columbian, starting in 1893, was one of the first optical companies to emphasise the import- ( ance of correct adjusting. ' and to offer to do it with out charge. Today we make more adjustments probably than any other optical com pany in America because our customers have been taught the habit of drop ping in frequently to have their glasses kept in perfect alignment. It costs nothing and it means much greater comfort for their eyes. COLUMBIAN Optical Company 145 Sixth St. Floyd F. Brower, Mgr. Multnomah County Fair Is its grange exhibits. Always .President Lewis and his assistant directors have endea vored to make -this one of the great features of the fair and to that end they have offered large prixes for com petition. Usually they have had four. or five granges in competition, but this year there are seven, livening Star, Rockwood. . Fairvlew, " Russellville, Gresham, Lents and Multnomah. There are. two other granges In the county. Powell Valley and Columbia. Both of these were expected to compete but in the finality they were unable to get the reauislte help to get the exhibits igether and installed. ' , Grange Exhibits Wonderful. It can be said without fear or favor that the granges exhibiting are to be congratulated beyond stint, for the ixhibita are simply wonderful. There will no doubt be great .exhibits at the State Fair, but do not for a moment think Salem will throw - Gresham in the shade. . These exhibits alone are weU worth a trip to Gresham to view and any agricultural county in the United States might well feel proud of them and of the progressive granges that prepared them. You need not take your lunch along If you go for you can get a fine meal, cafeteria style, at the refreshment booth. Tou will find as usual Mrs. F. H. Crane in charge and as usual every thing is well cooked and well served. while the prices are astonishingly low. As this is a sort of volunteer, "for the good of the order" business, I will give the names of Mrs. Crane's assistants Mrs. Peter Burgess, Mrs. George Stock ton. Mrs. Edward Camp; Mrs. Carrie Coupland.' Misses Helen Johnson, Flor ence Johnson, . Ethel Calkins. Helen Bliss. Bertha Albel and Margaret Shomtin. I am Just touching the high spots here and there, for The Oregonian will be telling of the fair all the week. But let me say that something really worth going out there to see, forenoons at 10:30 and afternoons at 3:30, is the teams of young women, from 12 to IS years old. in their canning competi tions, working In teams of threes. They will each put up a can of tomatoes and can of prunes and the team doing the most perfect work, everything con sldered and time being an important factor, will have all expenses paid for trip to the State Fair next week, where they will compete for the state championship with like teams from every county In the state. TWO INJURED IN CRASH AUTO OVERTURES WHILE ROUND. I-N'G CURVE ON HIGHWAY. - I Mrs. 'The Hun -Within ALL NATIONS PLEDGE-HELP International Committee Formed ' With S. Benson as Head.

Homes of Vital Importance. The Mayor feels that the addition of 20ffO " cottages to Portland's residence districts is of such vital' importance that other matters should be lost sight. of, . temporarily, in showing the Fed eral Government that Portland is in earnest in her efforts to make good the pledge that the Rose CJty -will house the thousands of men in the shipyards. - Other members of the committee ap pointed by Chairman Woodward, of the State Council of Defense, were consid erin various phases of the problem yes terday. The subject has been dis cussed, privately and In public, from almost every possible angle, bur ai ways the same conclusion is reached Portland must build these zouo cot tastes.. t Mayor Baker expressed the hope yes terday that every member of he hous ing committee would put forth every effort to be present at the meeting this afternoon, for more important business may not come up during the I entire campaign than is on the pro- gramme for today. At the mass meeting .nonaay nignt. Mayor Baker made it plain, to those present that rent profiteering in this city would not be tolerated and the appraisements made by the committee to have charge of that detail of the housing campaign, will be final.
