BOND SALES IFJ DAY
PASS MILLION MARK
Morris Bros.' Total Believed
Record for West.
FIRM'S RISE PHENOMENAL
Contrast AVltli Few Years -Ago Ret
murkable and Speaks 'Well for
Pacific Northwest.
"What is held to be a record in
western bond sales was made yester
day by the Portland bond firm of
Morris Bros., when the total of a sin
pic day's sales reached the sum of
$1,072, 387. OS In government and mu
nicipal bonds, marking- the third time
in less than a year that sales by the
firm have exceeded a daily total of
tl, 000, 000. Practically all of these
'sales were consummated In Oregon,
"Washington. Idaho and California.
"This daily sales total, the mark
of a phenomenal business growth,"
said John Etherldge. president of
the firm, "is equally indicative of the
fact that northwestern prosperity was
rooted far deeper than In the soil of
war conditions, and that investment
conditions were never more stable nor
prosperous."
Then and Now Compared.
Mr. Etherldge draws a significant
parallel between the amount or busi
ness now transacted by the firm and
that which was tho aoccpted rule
when he came to the Portland office
of the firm four years ago. -At that
time the largest record day held not
more than $100,000 f bond sales.
Now the business is on a strict basis
of municipal and government securi
ties. "We enlisted as many new custo
mers in 1919," said Mr. Ktheridge. "as
Morris Bros, hnd served for the en
tire period of 27 years prior to 1919.
Tho growth of the firm Is not only
proof of the sound prosperity of the
Pacific northwest, but testifies to the
faith that wo have had in the sub
stantial character of the resources of
Cirenon and tho northwestern sister
hood. "The gross business of Morris Bros,
exceeds that of any business, with the
exception of the banks, in the entire
Pacific northwest. The firm's busi
ness records for the past year show
more than $50,000,000 in sales of gov
ernment and municipal bonds to north
western investors.
Contrast Itemarkahlc One.
"Another indication of the magni
tude of this business the partial pay
ment business of our firm in Decem
ber, 1919. .exceeded the entire busi
ness of Morris Bros, for the corre
sponding December of 1916. And the
width of the prosperity indicated by
these and other facts is teslified to by
the record of approximately 14,400 cus
tomers last year. The average number
of people who walk through our doors
daily is 450. We have' a fondness for
exact facts, for they ehow us that our
faith and industry are bringing their
reward.
"Four years ago the office and
sales force of the firm totaled seven
people. Today Morris Bros, employ,
through their Portland and Seattle of
fices, a stuff of more than 100."
ALSACE WANTS DIALECT
School Teachers Petition Against
Immediate Compulsory French.
(Copyright by the New Tork World. Pub
lished by Arrangement.)
PARIS, Jan. 12. (Special Cable.)
Alsatian school teachers have peti
tioned the French minister of Instruc
tion to modify the requirement by
which the teaching of French is im
mediately compulsory In the schools
of Alsace. They say the children
ought first to have a chance to be
come familiar with their "maternal"
tongue, meaning the Alsatian patois,
which is a mixture of German and
French, and they cannot be expected
to master French until well ac
quainted with the common language
of the land.
"The system of compulsory French
now imposed," the petition says, "is
far from liberal and democratic. It
lem'nds one too much of Prussia and
It would be a grave mistake to en
force it."

WALLA WALLA. Wash., Jan. 12.
(Special.) A superior court jury after
15 minutes deliberation today con
victed Mrs. Jennie McArthur, promi
nent ranch owner of this section, of
illegal possession of liquor. Mrs. Mc
Arthur was first arrested on charge
of being a Jointist, but a lesser charge
was substituted.
WALLACE LIKE A
NEW MAN, HE SAYS
Was So Run-Down He Could
Hardly Work Tanlac Soon
Routed His Trouble.
"I believe any man would be un
grateful not to tell the world about
anything that had done him as much
good as Tanlac has done me," was
the statement made recently by
Robert Wallace of 869 Alberta street,
Portland. Or.
"For about a year I was in such a
weakened condition that I could
hardly do my work," continued Mr.
Wallace. "I had terrible chills and
fever every few days and I had
Fhooting pains through my neck and
face just like neuralgia. When I
got home from work every night I
was almost exhausted and went to
bed early, but when morning came I
felt just as tired out as I did the
night before. I had a poor appetite
end the little I ate did me more harm
than good and caused me to suffer
terribly afterwards. I had little
sl.rength or energy and from morning
till night I felt weak and worn out.
"Several of my friends advised me
to take Tanlac, but as I had about
lost faith in medicine I did not take
their advice. But when I saw for
myself in the papers where it was
doing so much good for people all
over the country I decided to try It.
Well, sir, it has fixed me up so fine
1 am now feeling like a new man. I
don't have the pains in my neck and
face any more and the chills and
fever are a thing of the past. I
have a fine appetite and can eat any
thing I please without any trouble
at all. I get up every morning after
a good night's rest feeling so re
freshed I am ready for as big a day's
work as any man. I think so much of
Tanlac that I am telling all my
friends about it." Tanlac is sold in
Portland by the Owl Drug company

AMERICAN DOLLAR DROPS
Coin Worth but 70 Cents in China,
Says Letter From Official.
VANCOUVER, Wash.. Jan. 12.
(Special.) The American dollar,
which in this country is accepted for
100 cents on the dollar and which is
believed by the average American to
be the one coin in the world that
should bring 100 cents, la in bad re
pute in China, where it is worth only
70 cents.
A letter from a man high in the
employ of the government to-a friend
in this city, received today, says the
value of the American dollar has
dropped to 70 cents in China and that
there is a good opportunity to make
big money by buying American dol
lars and holding them until they are
worth at least face value.
"Strange as it may seem, the de-e'V.s-d
Mexican silver dollar lecks

One of the smallest casts ever as

Madame Maeterlinck has motion
picture aspirations. Her earnest wish
to star on the screen became known
recently when Maurice Maeterlinck
and his young wife hurried over to
the Klnogram offices to take a look
at themselves on the screen. These
pictures, made under the ausp'ices of
Terry Ramsaye, were filmed when the
Maeterlincks first arrived. The Bel

Madame photographed he did not wait
for a theater showing, but stopped
with Madame Maeterlinck on his way
to call on Mary Garden.

Bob Fitzsimmons during an im

New Rocnelle, 21 years ago.
m
Inspiration for "The Garage," a
"Fatty" Arbuckle feature now show
ing, is blamed by the star to a little
incident which he tells in the follow
ing manner:
"One day several years ago I was
out motoring, when something went
wrong with the works and the car
stopped. I got out, raised the hood
and looked at the machinery. Not
that I expected to find out what was
wrong, but I had seen other men
raise the hood and look in at the en
gine and I felt that it was the proper
thins to do.
"Of course it was a useless pro
ceeding. I could have studied every
bolt and screw in it with a magnify
ing glass and I would still have
known nothing about it, because I
didn't know the first thing about ma
chinery. So I had to hoof it back
three miles to a garage and ride out
in a wrecking car with a mechanical
expert who separated me from $18
for telling me my gasoline had run
out.
"Right then and there I determined
to study the mechanism of an auto
mobile." worth at least 100 cents, if not a little
more," the letter says.
For some time past, it is explained,
this country has bought more than
it has sold in the orient ard the bal
ance of trade is against the United
States.

of S9 feet and tha mud had filled the slip
so rapidly since the last dredging that it
will be necessary immediately to dredge
again. It is becoming more of a job for
the harbor board to keep the slips deep
enough on account of the excessive flow
of sewage Into the bay and also because
the ships are now bigger and demand
greater depth of water.

member of the administrative com
mittee. At a recent meeting of this
council In the east It was decided to
attempt a conference next November,
at which representatives of the Prot
estant churches from all over the civ
ilized world would be In attendance,
the general purpose being to help re
establish good will, order, thrift and
religious life throughout the world,
in place of the general disorder fol
lowing the end of the war.
Committee of 12 Chosea.
To carry out this plan a committee
of 12 was chosen, representing not
only the different Protestant faiths,
but . the different sections of the
country, and Dr. Mclilveen was named
for the Congregational church and
for the Pacific coast. Invitations
have already been sent out to Protes
tant churches throughout the world,
and responses favorable to the plan
have been received from Scandnavlan.
French and British churches already,
according to Dr. McElveen.
The French churches have already
asked that the conference, which is
planned for nexf November, be held
In Paris, and this invitation may be
accepted, although there is a move
ment under foot to obtain Washing
ton. D. C, as the convention city.
General plans for the international
Protestant church programme at that
time will he drawn up by the com
mittee of 12 at the Chicago session.
The growth of extravagance
throughout this country was attacked

ister relative to the increase in luxu
ries, taken from the 1913 import tax

creased In 1919. two and one-half times
over 1918, the rigures show, while
Jewelry importations alone have in
creased 500 per cent. The tax paid for
importation of the 27 articles classed
by the federal tax laws a,s luxuries
increased from $25,000 kpproxlmately
to $57,000 during the year. The tax

Oh. girls, such an abundance of
thick, heavy, invigorated hair; a per

manage.
Just moisten a. cloth with & little
"Danderine" and carefully draw It
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; this magically re
moves all dirt, excess oil and grease,
but your hair is not left brittle, dry,
stringy or faded, but charmingly soft,
with glopsy, golden gleams and tender
lights. The youthful glints, tints and
color are again in -our hair.
"Danderine" is a tonlc-beautlf ier.
Besides doubling the beauty of the
hair at once. It checks dandruff and
stops falling hair. Get delightful
Danderine for a few cents at any
