Colonel Davis Oregon Man. The Victory Rose Festival airplane flight is largely due to the erforts of Colonel Milton F. Davis, chief of staff of the air service of the United States army.

AD MEN CHEER HANSON FOUR DAYS' SESSION OPENS AT AUDITORIUM. Mayor Says Suppression of Reds Government's Duty 2 000 Dele gates Expected Today. (Continued From First Paffe. cast in the crook of his arm, elected to walk down town. He set his course down Third street, glimpsed the .Plaza blocks at an intersection and prompt ly halted. Mayor Visits Plaza Bloclca. "That's where they hold their meet ings, isn't it?" asked the mayor, by "they" he meant, without explanation, the disciples of unrest. Being assured that such was the fact, he pointed straight for the green clover of the blocks, where there were several hun dred Sunday-afternoon vacationists. "They" sat up and yelled at him. "Hello. Ole!" A youngish woman, in a - mannish suit, with a red necktie blazing, propped herself up from a lounging group be neath a tree. "Hello, Ole!" otoe bantered. "How's the revolution?" "The revolution's all right," called back Ole. "A lot of the revolutionists are in jail and the rest ought to be!" In his talk at the auditorium, where the ad men punctuated his remarks with cheers. Mayor Hanson asserted that no true citizen can "pass the buck" for existing conditions, that "the people are the government." and that "there are reds and radicals in business as well as in labor." "For America, strongest and most virile of all the nations, both in ma terial resource and in manhood, he predicted an unexampled cruise of progress, if labor and capital do but co-operate, settling down to take coun cil together. Class Role Held Myth. "It is not true that any one man or any class of men," shouted Ole, "can either save or make this country. You are the government. It is up to you. the rank and file of the people, and not to any class. You can go to the polls here in Portland or anywhere else, and if you don't like your mayor, your gov ernor. your representatives or your president, you tfan vote them out. Don't talk about the government. You are the government." Mayor Hanson paid his respects, scathingly, to the bolshevikl, but he touched scarcely, or not at all, upon the episode of the attempted general strike in Seattle, the suppresion of which thrust him Into national prominence overnight and earned for him the hatred of the reds. He declared that the parks and pub lic places are filled with speakers con tinually stressing the issue of "right," but that few arise to inform the citi zenry of its duties toward the govern ment. The bolshevik element, the radl calist following, he charged with being hopelesly In the minority, both here and in Russia, and veered to attack business men and capitalists who, by their attitude toward labor. Imperil the peace and prosperity of America. "They are 'reds' no less than the others!" he exclaimed. "They are rad calists who have got to be suppressed. The rule of the minority cannot en dure in the United States, whether the flag of the minority hangs over the labor temple or the chamber of com merce. They all look alike to me!

I've seen the citizens stand up and be counted!" Referring to the release of propagan dists arrested and held by the federal authorities at the time of the Seattle fiasco. Mayor Hanson elicited cheers by his declaration that the next elec tion, if such policies continue, should be marked by "a change of government at Washington," adding that personal politics entered not at all into the stand taken. He grew vehemently bitter when he spoke of the Seattle Union Record and 1 its editor. E. B. Ault, whose attitude during the general strike, and since, has clashed at every point with the mayor's conceptions of citizenship and loyalty. Record Editors Are Targrt. I demand of the United States gov ernment," exclaimed Ole Hanson, "that it throw in jail the publishers of the Seattle Union Record, and its editor, E. B. Ault!" He charged that the Record does not represent trade unionism, that It is the voice of organized I. W. W.-ism. that ts editor joyed and gloated, both pri vately and editorially, when Theodore Koosevelt took the long trail, and that its editorials uphold Ienine and Trotzky as "guardian saints" of Ameri can destinies. "It's your government," he told his hearers. "Yet half of you don t vote. A third of you are too lazy to register. You've got to get into politics, you de cent men in labor and in business. You can't afford to let the cootie crowd from the cheap lodging houses run the United States. You can't afford to let half a dozen men get together in the back room of a bank and run the country. You've got to do it. Musical Knmbers, Please. To employer and employe I would say: This lsn t the time lor strife and strikes, it Isn't the time to quarrel. It's the time when every man must be a member of the crew. It is the time when you should co-operate. Enforced Idleness is a national crime and idle ness by intent is premeditated poverty." The session was directed by Charles F. Berg, president of the Pacific Coast Advertising Men's association, and was opened with prayer by Rev. Edward H. Pence. "The Church in the New Era was the topic oi an inspirational ad dress by Rev. J. M. Skinner, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Stockton, CaL There were musical numbers by the Stockton Ad club quar tet, the Union County Ad club quartet. ar.d three beautiful aolos, one In Ital ian, by Miss Marguerite Carney, the blind soprano.

Today, exquisite silk under gar ments are in every American shop window Fashions in Egryp. 6000 years ago, were comparatively simple. Even th queens of Egypt had only one style of f:arment in their wardrobes a slip ike our chemise. Sometimes it just reached the bust, sometimes it waa carried up over the shoulder, and it waa tight at the bottom like a hcbble skirt! For two thousand years this com plicated costume was the only fraxment worn. Poor royalty with nothing but diamonds and rubies to shop fort Then one eventful day a particularly radical queen conceived the novel idea of wearing two chemises at once on over the other. And that is how that chemise first became underwear! Probably she was called queer by the Mrs. Grundys of Egypt but, being a queen, she had her way and underwear became popular at once. The most exclusive material was linen All this time wool and linen were th only fabrics known. No wonder their garments were so scanty! Small blame to them for wearing more jewels than clothes! Who would care to be wound round like a mummy-in linen or bound up to the neck in wool? Wool next to the skin. Ugh! It fairly gives you the creeps. Silk was not discovered until about 2640 B.C., when the Kmpress Si-Ling-Chi of China accidentally learned how to reel silk. After that you couldn't have persuaded the honorable ladies and gentlemen of the Chinese royal family to wear anything else. The penalty for revealing the secret of silk was death ! Only China knew the secret of weav ing the costly fabric, and only a select few in China knew that it was spun by a worm! To reveal the secret was death, so you can imagine that for a few centuries China had a very real control of the world's silk market. Grecian women loved the feel of silk next the skin The women of Greece and Rome were not satisfied with the heavy Bilks imported from China. This stiff mate rial, though it had a beautiful sheen, would not fall gracefully in the soft folds they loved. So v.ith great care they unravelled it and rewove it into m fine gossamer-like fabric that they de lighted to wear next the skin. Tl e new fab ric was literally worth its weight in gold, so that only women cf great wraith could afford it. We read that the Em peror Aurelian actually refused his Empress a silken garment for thia reason! just like any ordinary twen tieth century husband who refuses hii wife a Rolls-Royce. To the barbarians we owe our vests and knickers ! The last people in the world that we'd Imagine doing anything 60 civilized! It was the barbarian Gauls of the Dark Ages who introduced the first parmenta divided for legs. And with tl e drawer was worn a sort cf short shirt thst eventually became our undervest. Such was the humble origin cf our dainty knickers and vests of today. Luxurious silk underwear worn at the French levees By the time France came into her own as the leader of fashion, we find mention of almost every Bilk garment that we have today. In the early eight eenth century the lovely women of the court adopted the custom cf receiving In their boudoirs in the morning. On these ceremonious occasions they wore the most exquisite garments of silk to receive their friends and admirers. Colonial women as eager for silk as any of the spoiled ladies of the French court Po enamoured of silk were cur own colonial dames that the colonial fathers found it necessary to trovn on the in dulgence." Accordingly they pasted a law thst "no silke sniffs in garments or in pieces (except for whocda and scarisi should be imported." Another case of feminine intmct vs. msn'a law the woman wouid have their siik underwear; And not only did thev risk their Immortal soul for silk, but for pink silk! These frivolous par ments were mentioned in their will nd botjues thed as' important leneles to their nearest and iearesl friends! Today, thanks to American enter prise, exquisite silk underwear is not limited to the wives of the oil kincs and the daughters of the Four Hun dred. The sot'l. delirate "lta1in'' fabric is In every shop wiinlow at prices with in the reach of all. Jvery American woman today can enjoy what Cleopatra never dreamed of what she would have given rooms full of jewels and hundreds of slaves to possess!
