Officials of the Gordon Investment company, owners of the building on the southeast corner of Sixth and Stark streets, in a communication to the city council object to the erec tion of a comfort station on Sixth and Stark streets. Just prior to the reading of this communication an anonymous com munication was read, which directed city officialss' attention to the worn- out flag flying from a pole on the top of the building on the southeast corner of Sixth and Stark streets. The flag, according to the communica- I are tlon. "is a disgrace to the city." The protest against the erection of a comfort station was referred to City Commissioner Pier for consideration and the communication referring to the flag was referred to the mayor's office for investigation. FIRST BOY CONTRIBUTES The humble umbrella is no longer common property. It has been raised to the rank of luxuries, especially the variety covered with the closely woven silk, This is one of several interesting conclusions that Charles F. Berg Drings back from his six weeks so Journ with manufacturers and their representatives in New York, Chicago, Milwaukee and San Francisco. He also advises that the owner of an umbrella would do well to -hang It on his arm when it is not lifted to proT tect rrom the descending moisture. In the office of the largest manufac turer of silk umbrellas in New York there was not a single piece of the goods in stock when the Portland man was there. Mr. Berg made other observations regarding Bilk, cotton, leather, and the conditions that con front everyone interested from the ultimate consumer to the producer- of the raw material. Prices for Silks Rise. He said: "When the erstwhile modest silk worm realizes the. high price that has been paid for his product he may burst with pride and cut off the sup ply. I think we should keep it from the silk worm if possible, for so far as can be judged that is the only point at which there has not been in creased cost of production. The dealers in raw silk say it costs them more for their stocks, manufacturers paying the highest wares ever known with limitations on the prod uct at that. In silk mills of New England weavers are receiving as much a week as used to be paid a month. "There is no longer any substan tial basis for the claim that the Pa cific coast cannot manufacture in competition with the east because of difference in cost of labor.

NEGROES TURN TO COURT cud Between Publishers Culmi nates in $25,000 Suit. A long-standing foud between the Portland Advocate and the Portland Times, weekly newspapers published by negroes, has culminated in a 000 libel suit filed agaist the Times r. he circuit court yesterday by Mrs. Beatrice Cannady. editor of the Ad- ocate. based on an alleged slander us article published in the Times on October 4, 1919. The offensive article declares. mong other things which Mrs. Can- nadv asserts are veiled Insinuations of immorality, that she "can drink her whisky straight with any mem ber of the underworld and never bat an eye." It is headed "Two Vampires" and refers to Mrs. Cannady and her husband. The action Is filed against J. A. Merrlman. editor of the Times, and V. D. Allen. George P. Moore and J. Richardson, publishers. are able to do so Is being demon strated In woolen yarns and fabrics and In the products made from the woolen yarns. The Jantxen knitting mills is an example of what may be done in other lines. ' Production Coats Higher. "But there are diflculties all along the lines. The retailer can only buy In limited amounts because of the shortage of goods. Labor costs more and raw materials cost more, and these are the elements that go into determining what the manufacturers' price must be. It is no longer a case of the manufacturer trying to sell but of trying to satisfy his customer with what he has. "Prices of silk stockings are going to De nigner in the spring, and for that matter the same is true of cotton stockings. When I tell you that cape gloves is selling for 75 cents a foot that indicates that prices of gloves will be higher, too. "European women are clamoring for American silk hosiery. I went into the New York office of a man ufacturer of the finest grade of silk hosiery and he handed me my orders already made out, one each for the Portland and the Seattle store, and that was all I could get. Allotments cannot be exceeded. That is the situ ation today." Farm Instructor Arrives. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL H. E.
