Not only did the old gentleman of flowing whiskers, beaming countenance and portly fig ure lose the adornments with which he artists have been pleased to cari cature the figure, but he likewise was relieved of the old cravenetted linen cluster that has served to protect him from the soft mist of winter as well as the dust of summer months.

Barber Shop In Setting. For the historic occasion of chang ing interpretation of an idea, the committee, headed by W. K. Conk! in. arranged an elaborate setting that in volved a barber shop on a stage at one end of the crystal room. After the one-act comedy had been staged and the argument of Lieuten ant Rauch enthusiastically received, the assembly learned the new sugges tion, "Brother Portland." "Miss Port land" was characterized by Mrs. Ar nold Cohen, and "Sailor Portland" was impersonated by Harry Oakley of the Portland navy recruiting office Cartoonists of the daily newspaper.' who were guests of the club adopted all three as worthy of commendation. Members were asked to decide by ballot which should be the accepted figure. Tho result of the vote em phasized that tlie question is still an open one. for 19 votes were cast for "Brother," 19 for "Miss" and 12 for "Sailor" Portland. More than 100 covers were laid, so the members failing to register any choice allowed a minority to fail to reach a decision. The recall of Father Portland seems to have resulted in a vacancy that will call for the individual interpreta tion of the cartoonists to fill. Kiisrene I'nstor 1 Speaker. j Robert H. Mllligan. pastor of the Rose City Presbyterian church, was chairman of tile day for the topic, "Fighting the Devil With Advertis ing." The speaker of the day was Dr. E. V. Stivers, pastor of the First Christian church of Eugene, who is attracting attention because of adop tion of a programme of newspaper advertising for his church. Guests of honor were 1 r. .loshu.i Stansfield. Rev. W. B. Hinson, Dr. W. W. Willard and Dr. Edward H. Pence. Each of the pastors spoke briefly, expressing their conviction that the churches have goods worth advertising. Dr. Stivers said In part: "Church advertising is merely the introduction into the conduct of the business of the church of a principle recognized in progressive modern business methods. To my mind the best medium of advertising is. the newspaper, and the church should en deavor to use it with the same dis crimination that the merchant em ploys. It is a mistake to assume that everyone in the community knows the church is there and there fore it does not need publicity. Prob ably the public knows the store is there, also, but it advertises the char acter of its goods. It results in tre mendous interest, as is indicated by the letters that I am receiving from from every point of the compass as to my plan, requests for copies of the advertising and information. As a matter of fact it is a small begin ning and has received attention greater than is merited. Churph. Advertising; Commended. "But the church has something to advertise and should give it to the world. The message we bring to hu manity is the same that was given to the world 2000 years ago, but we must garb it in modern style. The preacher should meet the business man on the plane where he lives. Criticism of r.n advertising campaign for a church has come from the preachers. and without exception business men who have spoken to me about it have commended it as the right method of interesting the pub lic in the work of the church. "Newspaper advertising adds dig nity to the church. The church has never yet utilized its power. The church with which I am now con nected cost probably $100,000. but I doubt" if it has ever spent ?250 a year lor advertising." WOMEN CONTROL PRICES ECONOMIC EXPERT ASSERTS BCYERS HOLD REM 101) V.

"In this country as everywhere else," said Miss Ferguson, "the prob lem is in the hands of the woman. They may safely be trusted to take care of it. If they will do their own marketing and their own thinking. "Prices were affected In Porto Rico." she continued, "but we devised a method there by which women could intelligently study prices and their trend, and keep their fingers firmly on the pulse of the market. If the women here would do as the women of Porto Rico did make a seasonal chart of foods and their prices they would not have to wait upon the squabblings and delays of any legislature to regulate prices. If women would buy when foods are in . season they could accomplish definite results without radical reforms." h X I W --V J , t . f ;' - s. !?rO I - f; l A' " v t' fc ' , - . - ; 'i , - " - " v 7 .' - ' 1 It iTwt i c " t, ' - I POHTLAXD AO CUB STACKS COMEDY STC.XT IV Pt'RDl'AN'CE OK PLAN ADOPT NEW I.TERPRETATIOX OK CIVIC AUD1TDR1UM POLICY FIXED FREE USE AND CITY APPRO PRIATION REJECTED. Request of Mrs. G. T. Gcrlinger to Get Aid for Woman's Building Benefit Denied. If the city council hereafter desires to allow free use of the municipal au ditorium, it will be asked to appro priate the usual rental fee from the general fund of the city. Hal M. White, manager of the auditorium, has in formed the council that without such action an accurate account of the financial standing of the building cannot be maintained. Yesterday the city council denied the application or the Oregon wom en's building campaign committee for the use of the auditorium without cost, for a lecture by Krank Branch Kiley. The profits of the meeting were to go into the fund for the woman's building of the University of Oregon. Mrs George T. Gerlinger. regent of the university, 'who appeared before the council, explained that it was planned to invite school children to attend the lecture at a small admis sion fee of 25 cents and adults at 50 cents. She said that if the com mittee were forced to pay rental for the building, nothing could be earned. Free use of the building was urged. Mr. White suggested that if the members of the council desired to grant the request that an ordinance appropriating $200 for the rental of the building be passed. Commissioner Bigelow opposed either voting free use of the building or passage of an ordinance appropriat ing sufficient money to pay the rental, saying that such action would be a bad precedent. The cause represented by the committee, he admitted was meritorious, but upon his motion the council refused the application.

Fraternal Order to Help Defray Cost; Forester Announces Sale of Sttlslaw Timber. Plans for bringing eight or ten moose from Alaska to stock the Olym pic peninsula were announced yester day by R. L.

Climatic con ditions are said to be much the same in this part of Washington as in Alaska. The estimated cost Is 1200 per animal, and the forest service will be aided in the undertaking bv tli United States biological survey and by Moose lodges.

What part the soldier vote will play in the coming campaign Is drawing discussion in political circles. That there will be a number of former sol diers in the field in the primaries is taken as a foregone conclusion. The organization which Is gathering the service men together Is the American region ana mat is outside oi politics that Is. the legion Is neither demo cratic nor republican but It has cer tain alms to accomplish which will have to be achieved through men In office. For weeks past dozens of service men have been urged to run for of fice. There is not an office from United States Senator down to con stable that some service man has not been aeked to aspire to. Thus far there has been no definite boom for any of the ex-soldiers, sailors or ma rines for any particular nomination. The Idea is still in the suggestive stage. "You ought to run for senator (sec retary of state, sheriff,' or whatever the office may be)," Is the way some admirer of some returned soldier is approached. "You can get the soldier vote and that will elect you." in such manner Is the suggestion planted. Occasionally the admirer goes a step beyond and says that friends will be forthcoming with flnancies for a campaign. No Party Monopoly. Neither of the parties has a monop oly on the soldier material for a po litical ticket. Republicans and demo crats alike can fill a ballot with can didates possessing a war record. It is known that among the democratic leaders there Is a quiet movement on foot to Induce some of the former military men to enter the primaries. Democrats for years past have had trouble In putting a complete ticket in the field, but they depend on the soldiers to considerable degree to make a full ticket for the electorate. The wearing of service stripes, however, will not be sufficient for a candidate to "corner" the soldier vote solid. Among the men who have been "buck privates" the higher-ups are not all In the good graces of their former subordinates, so that the fact that a man has returned with a com mission does not make him a stronger candidate than some lesser light in the military service. Nor is there a disposition on the part of the majority of service men to want to see soldiers monopolize all the political jobs. Civilians will stand a better chance of election. In cer tain Instances, than soldiers, say service men. Civilians See Chance. Civilians who are anxious for office rather court having plenty of soldier opposition in the primaries, figuring that If two or three soldiers vie with a civilian for the nomination, the sol dier vote will be so split that the civilian can walk through and carry off the coveted nomination. In the old days of political party conven tions, there would be no such situa tion, but under the Oregon direct pri mary system, where every man and woman has the right to present his of her name for ifbmination. there is nothing to prevent a free-for-all scramble. Rummy Irishman Lost in Jew Synagogue Limit. Charles W. Mooney Gets Tiro More Harm When Judge Gets Facts. CHARLES W.

You who are afflicted with this most painful disease who know from experience Just how excruciating its pangs are get this fact fixed firmly In your mind, and it will aid you in findinsr a way to complete recovery. Ilbrumat I Mm cannot be rubbed iivay with liniments Its pains and pangs cannot be wiped out as if by magic A disease that is so full of torture and finally renders Its victims so helpless is a deep-aeated one; It is not on the surface, hence it cannot be reached by external, surface remedies. This is no theory, for your own experience doubtless has shown you that you can never expect to rid yourself of the disease in this way. For the chances are that you, like thousands of other sufferers, have been misled into the hope that lini ments, lotions and other applications would care your rheumatism. Hut what has been your experience? The pains possibly have been lessened for the time being, but have they not promptly returned, often with In creased severity, and are you really any nearer a cure than before? You certainly are not, and you never will be as long as you rely upon treatment that at best is merely a makeshift. See what Mr. J. J. Agnew of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, says of what S. S. S. did forahis rheumatism: "For ten years I was badly afflicted with Rheumatism, the pains in my knees, legs and an kles being almost unbearable. I tried various remedies without results, until a physician ad - vised me to use S. S- 8., stating that the disease was In the blood. After taking- a few bottles the pains rnd soreness were greatly lessened. I continued this medi cine until all -pain, soreness auJ Inflammation were gone, and I was completely cured." J. J.

John To hack drew 60 days, Ellen Wilson also got 60 days, of which 30 were sus pended, while Bob Lucas was fined $24 and given ten days for his part in the liquor festivities. Otto Blotter just got back from a voyage to China aboard one of the Portland-built ships, and he felt so jubilant that he took out his "bug" Tuesday night and speeded about the streets in a care-free manner. He was letting his exhaust back-fire and emitting reports like a rifle when Motorcycle Sergeant Ervin nabbed him on Fourth street. In view of the fact that it was the first time he had been ashore in several weeks and the first time he had had an opportunity to ride in his "bug" Judge Rossman let him go with a warning. Instructors Are Engaged. ROSEEUItO. Or., Sept. 24. (Spe- This is a typical case, and everyone who has had the slightest experience with rheumatism will continue to suf fer and grow worse until they are finally practically helpless, unless they realize that the disease must be combated at its source. Rheumatism Is often a diseased condition of the blood, the disease attacks the body through the blood, hence the system can be rid of its pains only after the blood has been cleansed of the germs of the disease. Lotions, liniments and ointments, applied to the surface may in some cases deaden the pain for the time being, but until you attack the dis ease at its foundation you are making no progress toward a cure, and you are permitting the trouble to get a firmer hold on your system every day. This is one reason why Rheumatism Is usually a permanent disease, stay ing with Its victims year after year. Getting rid of the disease Is merely a matter of treating it intelligently. Knowing that it cannot be cured by external applications. It is folly to rely upon such treatment. S. S. S. is without question the most thorough blood medicine ever made, and it cleanses the blood of every im purity and disease germ. That Is why i it seldom falls to K've satisfactory re sults in even the severest cases of Rheumatism. Being purely vegetable, without a particle of mineral or chem ical in its composition, it works by eliminating and forcing out of the blood all impurities, acting as a tonic to the entire system at the same time. It has been in use for more than fifty years and thousands of sufferers from rheumatism give it unstinted praise.
