WAGE EFFORT INTERESTS .EV YORK EDITOR STOPS TO STUDY PORTLAND MOVEMENT. Cltixens' League Campaign to Get In creased Salaries for Teachers Attracts Attention. W. D. Lane, editor of The Survey of New York, passing through Portland yesterday en route from San Francisco to Seattlejias constrained to stop over when he read In The Oregonian of the organization of the Citizens' Educa tional league to direct the campaign In behalf of the teachers' salary measure that Is to be voted on May 10. Mr. Lane spent the day in conference with the leaders of the local cam paign and will make a study of the similar work In Seattle which was in strumental in bringing about the pas sage of the measure in that city last week. "The Survey is Interested in this par- ticularly as a citizens campaign, ne aald. "and looking into the situation here I find myself strongly for the measure itself as a matter of social Justice. "But the interesting thing in it ail to me is the fact that the citizens are taking care of the movement them selves. It is up to the community to do the work that means the welfare of the community, and If the Citizens' Educational league carries out Its cam paign on the lines it has laid out it will give Portland immense standing in other parts of the united States as a live and progressive community. The Grade Teachers association held a meeting at the library yesterday aft ernoon and made arrangements for it participation in the general campaign of the Citizens Educational league. The educational league formally opened Its headquarters at 514 Journal build ing yesterday morning and will direct Its campaign from there with Eugene Brookings as manager.

Tribute to the courage and efficiency of the men of the Slat division is con tained In a letter received today by Governor Olrott from Major-General William H. Johnston, commanding of fleer. "It has been a pleasure to command such men as composed this division he writes. "They have demonstrated that no better soldiers exist than can he made of young American citizens. They will return to their civil pur suits not only with the experience gained as soldiers, but will return bet ter citizens because or their service during this war. They have learned how to command and to obey, how to bear with fortitude the unavoidable in conveniences and even suffering of the campaign. They have not only Been their comrades die for the cause but have themselves offered their lives for the same cause. "Men who have acquired the virtues of obedience, fortitude and courage cannot fail, as citizens, to exhibit such virtues throughout their lives. I con gratulate you On the return of such men to the citizenship of your state." General Johnston informs Governor Olcott that a history of the 81st di vision has been written and will be printed soon. A copy of this history will be furnished to the nearest rela tlve of every officer and man of the division who. gave his life during the r. PROTECTION GIVEN BUYERS Interest on Liberty Loan Bonds In ducement to Keep Them. "Money Is worth 4.70 per cent as shown by the New Tork market quota tlona on liberty 4,s at '.!. 0 for a bond of the par value of $100." said ftate Manager Smith last night In dis cussing the value purchasers of the victory bonds acquire. "In view of this it Is plain that the Interest rale on victory bonds of 4i per cent was fixed with the purpose of giving assurance that the securities of this Issue should remain at par. afford ing protection to buyers against loss when obliged to sell, and making the strongest possible Inducement to hold bonds to maturity." .

It is most amazing to discover, from this new perspective, directly above it in a sweeping, graceful turn. that its tall smokestacks are less than matches fuming threads of vapor. It's the greatest pity in the world that all children cannot climb into an airplane and go cruising. High over Portland, in reaches tkat the giddy sparrow and the happy doves never dare to venture, they would glimpse the city of heart's desire a fairy bailiwick, complete to the last detail, ready-made for a day of make-believe. No squeamish thrill of insecurity, no tightening of the grip as when one peers over the cliff or down a seven story wall. But quite a lordly feeling of Joy and contentment, tempered a bit by the tugging wind, and a sense of possession that reaches out to the line where the sky drops down. , For the broad wings, though their wires and struts tremble and stutter and shriek, are rigidly outstretched and resolute mighty comforting affairs. Thev seem not to move, though the Curtiss is nosing ahead at 75 mile an hour, and the panorama of city and field and hill is leisurely unreeled for the convenience of the cruiser. Above the hum of flight and the irreat- steady thrumming of the en eine. one leans back to meet the alert, good-humored smile of the pilot and to shout at mm, win ne pieue pu her throus-h a stunt, anything, some thing. Just so it Is a stunt? He nods and turns her blurred nose into the wind. Propeller Suddenly Hnsaee. The Curtiss rolls deliberately on he side, noises thus, while you are pre sented with a down-the-well prospect of Portland: dips, wheels and rolls over with a long sough of utter con tent. You have the reverse view. Twice or thrice this is repeated, with the lone, easv motion of a boat riding high smooth waves. The propeller hushes its roar, at some mute command, and the plane hangs on the wind, in compar ative alienee. "How are you leeiingr' inquired mo solicitous pilot. "Isever felt better." There was tha sensation of the high-swing, the mem orable memory of the first merry-go-round ride, a eort of getting away from one's own physiology, but nothing to atter much. Will he give her another? He will. She rushes forward like a darting bird, turns her nose to tne .vault, or blue, heaven very, very blue, and not much farther away than is the good green earth, stands on her tall for the frightened fraction of a second and then rolls to the right with a crescendo snort of the motor. The captain said 15 minutes. we head toward Mock's field, still there, by all that's wonderful the tiniest patch of emerald beside a quiet river or few gallons capacity. Down goes her nose again, this time with the cer talntv of a bullet to its mark. For the first time the eensation of speed In trudes. The Curtiss tortures the wind with her passage. The wjrld leaps to erect the magnificent machine. In flash the dwellings and factories come into their own again, very creditable structures. Indeed. The field Is be neath, racing by In blurred rapidity. Plaae Drifts to Earth. The motor ceases its humming, the blade is no longer a noise. Its spokes are spinning, but visible. Swooping down in a great, graceful arc, the plane settles as lightly as a drifting feather. She trundles easily to a perfect pause. "What were those stunts you put her through? Or did you put her through anv at all?' "The 'falling leaf and the 'vertical reverse,' answered Lieutenant L. S. An drows. It's great to be one of the earth-born.

Base Vscd by Flying Circus. Throngs of prodigious size watched the afternoon field activities of the fliers, the starting and landing of the machines, from the vantage ground of the bluffs which mark the northern boundary of the Mock's bottom pasture. Thousands of automobllists journeyed to the vicinity of the field and Cars were packed in seemingly endless line along the streets In that portion of the city. A large corps of regular and spe cial traffic officers found it almost an impossible task tq keep the thorough fares clear and the traffic moving. The 11 flyers who took the air got away gracefully and without mishap or delay. The thrill of excitement ami anxiety came when inkling of the ac cident to Captain' Smith's machine spread as explanation of the fact that but 10 of the planes. returned to tne field aa the maneuvers ended. It was quickly learned through message from the city police department that Captain Smith had escaped injury after making his forced landing. Even before this in formation had been received an army truck had been dispatched by Captain Hoover, commander of the circus, to nick ub the plane. The battered Sped waa not returned to the field but was taken direct to the Union station ana there loaded on the circus special. The fivers began to flit back to tne landing field shortly after o'clock and by 2:20 all but the dlsaoiea -air ooai had returned. Then it was that the lit tle army of skilled mechanics got into action for a second time, plucking tne wings and attachments away much as ha housewife plucks me iaiiea iuwi. The naked bodies' of the planes were hen trundled up the causeways ana berthed In their cars, borne two to hree score little urchins, who Dy mis Ime had dodged their way on the field o oraDe in wonderment at the birdmen and their vehicles, had the fun of tug ging at the ropes by which the planes were wheeled from fieia to cars. The work of dismantling the ma chines was even more quickly accom plished than had been the Job of as sembling them. By 4 o clock everything waa back in Its place on tne circus pecial and the train was moved to tnei L'nlon station, there to await the Hour of departure for Tacoma, which was 11 o'clock last night. J.

It serves both as food and drink. Public opinion is now, ever was, and ever shall be strongly and emphatically in favor of coffee. It is approved by men and women everywhere by all classes by all America Coffee is the comfort and solace of the millions. It is. cheering, soothing, sustaining and satisfying. Who will deny its rare charm and rich flavor? Who can resist the aroma, the ''bouquet" of a fragrant cup of good coffee? Coffee is a man's drink. A comfy, chummy, clubby drink a social, convivial, "good fellow" drink. Wherever men meet to dine or deliberate there is coffee. So, naturally, coffee is en throned.
