Residents of South Portland reported
the case to the police and Captain

The sun will have no reason to com
plain that the clocks are In rebellion
against his time after next Sunday,
when timepieces will be officially set
back one hour, and the season of day
light saving, which began last April,
will be at an end. The National House
of Representatives passed a measure

ARE WARNED
Millers Who Do "ot Pay Farmers
Full Price to Be Punished.
Some millers of the United States
are profiteering through the process of
buying the farmer's wheat at an un
reasonably low price and, unless they
cease the practice, will suffer the fate
of having their licenses revoked.
This assertion is made in a message
from Washington, received by M. H.
Houser. xonal agent of the food admin
istration grain corporation. Mr. Houser
has issued & warning to all mills of his
jurisdiction, quoting the communica
tion sent to him. The quoted warning
is this:
Many complaints are belnff received that
soma mills are Insisting upon buying wheat
from farmer at an unreasonably low price.
ThlH. of course, can only result In unfair
competition to the mills who are paying the
equivalent of the full guaranteed price.
belntr done by the very large majority
of mili.
Please be advised, therefore, that the buy
Ins of wheat by mills at a lower price than
terminal guaranteed prices, lesa freight and
less a fair handling charge, will be consid
ered as an unfair practice and the cause for
revocation of license.

Red Cross Workers to Ptoc Moss.- NEW VANCOUVER TIMECARD
By special dispensation of the Mayor.

authority which you desire, as stated
In your telegram today.
Such was the message received yes
terday by Mayor Baker from A. Merritt
Taylor, director or housing ana trans-
Dortation of the Emergency Fleet Cot
poration, who was appealed to by the
Portland Housing Company to straight
en out the exasperating tangle that
has resulted In Washington, putting
stop to Portland's house-building pro
cramme. Mayor Baker expects furthei
word from Mr. Taylor tonight or early
tomorrow, to the effect that the pro'
gramme as outlined here will be ap
proved by the departmental heads in
w asningLon.
The message from Mr. Taylor was re
garded by Mayor Baker and other
members of the executive committee
who had conferred with the Housing
Director on the occasion of his visit to
Portland several weeks ago as an ex
cellent indication. They feel' certain
he will bring order out of the chaos
that resulted from the ruling received
last week to the effect that houses
erected in war-times must pe occupied
by bona fide workers in war Indus
tries. Mr. Taylor had made no euch
representations while here, and it was
the understanding of local interests
that any house designed to relieve Fort
land's congestion would be sanctioned
by the Government.
"It was their proposition," said Mayor
Baker yesterday, "and we accepted it.
Now we are all ready to ehoot, and are
held up by this unexpected ruling. It
would take us but a little time to get
results, now that our organization is
perfected and ready for work. We can
do nothing, however, until we receive
definite assurance from Washington
that the programme, as originally out
lined, will meet with the approval of
official Washington.
Erection of headquarters building- at
Fourth and Stark streets will be the
first activity in the building plan after
Portland a scheme is sanctioned, the
committee having made partial ar
rangement for the construction of this
building in a eingle day. as was done
with Liberty Temple. Flans and sped
fications for the office building have
been drawn but not acted upon by the
executive committee, owing to the de
lay caused by misunderstanding in
Washington.
NEED FOR NURSES GREAT
AIDES MUST RELEASE TRAINED
ATOJIEX FOR FRANCE.
Survey for Red Cross Is Being Made
by School Principals While
Census Is Taken.
Portland women and girls do not
realize the need their Government has
of them," said James F. Ewing, chair
man of the nursing survey which Is
being made for the Red Cross by the
school principals. Statistics for the
survey are being made at the came time
the annual school census Is being taken.
The Red Cross must have more
nurses and the Government has asked
for 34,000 by June 1," said Mn-Ewing.
Only women who have had training
can be used and there is no short cut
o that training now when the need is
so great and the supply so limited.
Nurses' aides must volunteer for civil
ian work so trained women may be
used by the Government.
Undoubtedly when Portland girls
were taking the nurses aide courses
they did not realize the full signifi
cance and responsibility that the train
ing would give them. Many of them
were interested simply because it was
fashionable to be doing some kind
of war work. Now it is up to those
girls who have taken advantage of the
hort courses and Instructors, supplied
to them at nominal cost by the Red
Cross, to back up this organization. It
may be a sacrifice, but it is war time.
and it has become their duty to make
sacrifices."
Mr. Ewing believes that fully half of
the girls who have taken the aide course
are in position to volunteer their serv-
ces and relieve trained women.
Through the Red Cross nurses will be
supplied to the Vancouver Barracks,
where, at present, there is great need
for the handling of Spanish influenza
patients, according to Mr. Ewing.

Iering places. He reports that there are
about 10 cases of Spanish influenza, in

"Responses from all over Oregon show
conclusively that our people have fall

"Hearty support and united action.
indicative of a fine, unified spirit of the
active workers and auguring well for
regular Oregon success in the drive is
apparent in all sections.
"Every county Is now fully organized.
Supplies have arrived from the various
headquarters and all is In readiness for
the actual campaign, now rapidly ap
proaching. From every corner of . the
state come expressions favorable to the
uniting of the seven organizations for
one drive. It Is becoming clearer all
the time that the President did a wise
thing in asking this, as It will obviate
the necessity of a number or drives,
thus saving much time and expense and
accomplishing the purpose.
There is only one phase of the situa
tion that is giving the state eomraittes
anxiety, and that Is the Influenza fea
ture. J. W. Day, chairman . et the
speakers and entertainers' bureau, has
been unable to make definite arrange
ments for any of his work, always so
necessary In a big campaign, but is
hoping for more cheerful developments
tn time to send out some speakers and
entertainers.
'We have made arrangements where
by excellent speakers and entertainers
will be available on comparatively
short notice, provided we are permit
ted later to hold any meetings," said
Mr. Day. "The situation at present is
not yery cheerful, but we are optimistic
and hope for a clearing up pf the epi

splendid talent in the drive."-

one of the novel sights in Portland.
An Appeal to the Public
As a result of war conditions
and the present epidemic of influ
enza there has been an abnormal
increase in local telephone traffic
Patrons will perform a patriotic
service by refraining from using
their telephones for local service;
except when absolutely necessary;
in order that the service of the Gov
ernment war industries and other
vitally important interests may not
suffer.

Dr. Parrish . will give his personal
supervision to the inspection, which is
designed to place Portland establish

regulations. Soldiers will not be per
mitted to patronize places not given the
required rating, and military oniciais
will co-operate In every way with local
health authorities to secure proper ven

lavatory facilities and adequate light

teachers, who are engaged by the day,
will receive no salary while not serv

held open for them. There are about
30 substitute teachers in the city and
while many of them are stationed per
manently at certain schools, they rank
as substitutes, not having been elected
by the School Board. Most of these
substitutes are soldiers' wives, em
ployed only for the war period.
"Supplementary work will be reduced
greatly in the coming terms, while
more emphasis will be given the essen
tials. Each principal will work out
his own methods of making up the re
quired work. War work has its regu
lar period and that will not be changed.
"We hope to be able to give students
and teachers three days' notice before
the- schools reopen, but all depends
upon the State Board of Health! Many
teachers and pupils are out of the cfty.
