The first band of the pageant was that of the flagship Minneapolis, marching in trim formation, while they cent lively airs forth to time the step, just before the flower-embroidered car that bore the goddess of victory and her maids. Chief of Police Joel Warren of Seat tle, with officers of his department, ap peared in the parade, as did also the crack police band of the Fuget sound metropolis. Victory Theme Carried Oat. With an escort of 60 soldiers and sailors marching on each side of the car, the goddess of liberty greeted the throngs along the line of march from a beautifully decorated automobile. The victory theme of the celebration was worked out through the appearance of three personal escorts on the regal car, one representing the United States army, another the navy and the other the United States marines. In two machines following the royal bearer rode the maids of honor, six representing welfare organizations which played a prominent part in the world conflict and six representing Portland rosebuds. Salem Well Represented. The largest out-of-town display was made by the Salem Cherrians led by King Bins, who in ordinary life is F. K. Fullcrton. a business man of the capital city. Sixty men, representing the- business and industrial life of Salem, marched in the parade in white uniforms in command of Joe McAllister, who recently returned from France, where he was attached to an artillery regiment. Dr. H. C. Epley was drum major for the- Cherrian band. A wonderful creation was the Salem float, which was entirely covered with blue starry gauze, the outer fringes held up by small girls dressed in fluffy white dresses. The float carried a treat strand of flags, with a jackie and soldier occupying a prominent place, and placards telling the story of Marion county's participation in the world war. A total of J18;,534.43 was contributed by this county for war work, the placards said, and 1660 men and two ycomcnettes left Marion coun'y to serve in the world war. Line County Represented. Lane county's float, decorated at the eleventh hour by K. W. Merrell and Stanley Stevenson, of Eugene, was one vl the most striking bits of the parade, depicting a fisherman's camp, set in a bower of larches with the angler and his kiddie3 ready to fry trout, and all in outing togs. Clatsop and Clackamas counties had floral floats and cars bearing placards that set forth their splendid war rec ords, and were well to the fore in the civic section. Led by the Salvation Army band, came a snowy float of the world-famed organization, with enameled cribs from which several bright-eyed little .oungsters smiled at the crowds an insistent reminder of the devotional tasks that the army assumes. A model airplane, its engine running and its propeller turning in a blur, set above a truck concealed in spruce fronds, was the entry of the United States Spruce Productive corporation, supervised by Lieutenant-Colonel C. P. ttearns. The wings of the plane were fringed with pink rosea. Ad Club In Line. Next in line marched the Portland Ad club and delegations from the Pa cific Coast Advertising Men's associa tion, joint participators. in the parade, with cars bearing local and inter-state officials of the organization. Reminder that the war has not yet been concluded and that important work Hill remains undone was made in the entry of the United States army re cruiting station. A painting of""The Watch on the Rhine" with the words The Flag That Won Still Needs You" wps the pertinent note of this displav. Two pretty maidens busily engage".! in "cleaning house" demonstrated the usefulness of Mab cleanser, a product of Salt Lake City, which was woven into the industrial parade in a float which showed originality and clever ness. Spokane Ad Club Has Float. "Friendliest Greetings From Spo kane" was the wish expressed on the float entered by the Ad club of that city a float typically aboriginal in character and depicting an Indian en campent, with tepeo erected. H. A. Lamb of the Inland Empire city, clad in the trappings of a Sioux chief the actual regalia ot the warpath, even to the eagle-feather bonnet accompanied the float. The Tacoma float, another civic en try, was a dream conception of sea waves, tossing huge water lilies, while a little girl in a carven boat of shell drove three gilded swans. The wee maid was Evelyn Florence Ruder, whose 'papa Just happened to be in town," and she tossed flowers and miles along the line.

Whether on the btach, in the play house or on a float, the shapely girl clad in naught but a tight-fitting bath ing suit attracts the attention of all. And in the industrial parade the sen sation without question was the ap pearance of a bevy of girls in Jantien knit bathing suits, who vied with any of the professional bathing beauties featured in the movies. "Them girls are apt to break up thia got durned, parade," said Colonel Bosh of Bull Run, who gave Grand Marshal Campbell aid in the formation of the parade. The colonel's prediction vir tually ran true for from the start to the finish of the parade the "bathing beauties" were applauded and cheered and in return gaily sang songs and cast flowers to the admiring hosts. Scotch Kilties In Line. An excellent showing was made by the negro steel workers of the city, who stood by the side of anvil and bellows and demonstrated the work performed daily during the world struggle which turned out ships and made possible victory. A delegation of members of the negro Oddfellows lodge of Portland with a band composed of their own members preceded the steel workers' float. The picturesque Scotch kilties drew applause with their pipes and drums and the Knights and Ladies of Se curity made a wonderful ehowing with a team of blue-dressed marchers. The smallest ponies in the world made youthful hearts gladsome, this entry being from the Lane 'O Laughter, the pleasure avenue on the South Park blocks. Greeks and Italians Vie. The Women's Ad club of Portland, with cars bearinsr its delegation of members, presented a beautiful float. Ldressed with blue lupine and greenery. and featuring a giant globe with a sunny little girl perched way up on ton of it. The entry of the Portland Flouring Mills company. jiympia products, de picted a harvest field, with a brawny young granger holding two sheafs of ripe grain against a background of golden field and blue lake. Oasps of sheer admiration went out to the Greek and Italian entries, for these were distinctly rival spectacles of the parade, vicing with one another in their prodigality of beauty and sig nificance. The Greeks carried their flags gal- tConcluded on Pass 12, Column 1.) Quite tha most important feature ot the parade yesterday was the abear ance of the lovely goddess of victory. mrs. buy Kobert Porter, and her IS attendants, equally lovely and all prom inent socially in Portland. The tri-color was cleverly and artistically worked out in garbing the attractive and gracious goddess, the scheme being a distinct deviation from former methods of combining the patriotic red, white urn clue. She was statuesque and charming in l simply designed gown of soft white georgette, embellished with blue squares . worKea in yarn and an outline of the yarn at the neck and hem. Her girdle, made of the blue squares, and her cape, pelated to the shoulders and held in place with tiny red rosebuds, was of shimmering white satin, edged with a triple band of squares, the entire flow ing cape being lined with deen red ATTENTION.

ELDER THOUGHT IN GJUIADA SEARCH IS MADE FOR MISSING BOILERMAKERS' OFFICIAL. Police Inquiry Rctcals Secretary Treasurer Spent All ot Month ly Salary Except $10. That H. A. Elder, missing secretary treasurer of the boilcrraakers' union, has fled to Canada, Is the theory of po- tce inspectors who are conducting the search. Mr. Elder disappeared Sunday night, leaving his bank deposits and an automobile which he had purchased on the installment plan. Police learned that the secretary had cashed a union check for about X500 a short time before his disappearance, and Deputy District Attorney Deich referred the matter to the grand jury. The grand jury will return a secret indictment if it takes any action in the matter. Inspector Smith, who checked up on Mr. Elder's known expenditures, said that his room rent, payments on his car, the allowance he paid his wife, and his garage rent, used up all of his sal ary of $200 a month except 10. Po lice say the secretary-treasurer lived at a fast pace, and believe that he could not have paid all his expenses on his salary Farm Bureau Organlied. PASCO, Wash.. June 11.
