Brooks, the first wooden shipping board hull to be completed In this district by private interests, com pleted a successful trial trip yester day from the dock of the Pacific Ma rine Iron works, where her machinery has been installed. Over a measured mile, the vessel averaged 11.44 knots up and down stream, and made an average of 11.73 knots for the entire trip. The observations and records were made by Oscar W. Schwarz. nautical expert for the emergency fleet corporation. The steamer left the Portland Marine Iron works dock at 10:25 o'clock yesterday morning and returned, at 6:45 o'clock last night after proceeding to St. Helens. The Anson S. Brooks was built by the Mcfc.achern Ship company at As toria and ' launched as the hull Arcturus. She was purchased from the fleet corporation by E. S. Hough, designer of the Hough type of vessel, of which the Brooks is a sample, and the Brooks-Scanlon Lumber company. She will be delivered to her owners Tuesday, and will load a cargo of lumber for Cuba at the Inman-Poulsen mill. The record of the Brooks on her rial trip shows an average of half a not better speed than was made by ny of the shipping board Hough type essels. The difference in speed is believed to be du to the fact that this vessel is an oil burner instead f coal. Among the guests aboard the ves- el on her trial trip were Captain Folstad, master of the new steam schooner Everett, which is now being quipped with nrachinery at the Wil lamette Iron & Steel works; E. S. Hough, designer and purchaser of the vessel: E. S. Hough Jr.. W. R. Hewitt, marine superintendent for the Charles R. McCormick company, and 3eorge Hopps, superintendent of machinery installation for the emergency fleet corporation. The Anson S. Brooks is commanded by Captain A. M. Panzer, a well-known Pacific coast vhipmas- ter, who formerly commanded the steam schooner F. S. Loop and other vessels plying in the coastwise tr?de.

Special headquarters have been es tablished in this" county at the court house and the survey is issuing blanks to all people in a position to supply information, such as teachers, physicians, lawyers, ministers, rabbis, priests, nurses, members of the po lice force, parole agents, after-care agents of private and public institu tions, chuirches and parishes, all of ficers or county, municipal and uri vate institutions and officers of every civic and social organization in the city. Jted Cross chapters are also being asked to assist. Collection of data from the remain ing 35 counties is being conducted through tie general headquarters of the slate survey in the university extension division at Eugene. Card Cover Whole Life. The cards are interesting and are intended as a compact compilation of the life, history and habits of each case. Points covered in general are residence, physical status, tempera ment, personal history, school history, social record, mental defects, hered ity, causes and suggestions as to needs. If the individual is an iin governable child, if he is a family deserter or a fire bug, if he is a shut-in," an epileptic or a drug ad dict, this all goes into the record. Weekly wages, convictions for crimes and alcoholism also have places. The field is broad, as the same card will cover unruly children or aged or in firm hoboes any that come within the bounds of mentally defective, de linquent or dependent. Dr. Chester U Carlisle of the United States public health service. v ho is directing the work, points out: The symptoms of abnormal mental states show themselves as the un governable child, the sex offender. the delinquent youth, the criminal adult, all of whom make their final appearance upon the stage of life as paupers or those whose existence de pends either upon fraudulent enter prises or the alms of the public treasury or the private purse. The active interest of the citizens of this state in this survey is real service of the highest type to our republic as upon clear thinking, sound judg ment and conduct useful to society rests the continuance of our government. Sarvr'y Has Tfo "Axe." The state survey is non-partisan. non-sectarian, and has no axes to grind. The final deductions to. be drawn from the results of this survey are for the benefit of the law makers of the state and for the ultimate good of all of the people. It is an attempt to obtain the co-operation of all the citizens of a great state, offering them an opportunity to col lect facts for the state on problems which are the sore spots of every community, and, further to express their opinion as to the cause of such conditions and to recommend what they believe to be the proper means of alleviating them. It is essentially a referendum of the people and by the people, having no other object in view than the ultimate good of the state. The state survey is receiving lib eraV support and circular letters of information asking that data be col lectcd are bringing in answers daily Cards will be given out upon re quest from either office. of a porpoise, but of value as a make shift catch.

WAR MATERIAL ALLOTTED Trophies of American Troops to Be Distributed in Xorthwest. SEATTLE. Thousands of pieces of war material captured by American troops from the Germans in France are to be allotted to Washington state, according to Washington, D. C special dispatches. All the states will share in the trophies in proportion to the per cent of troops contributed to the service. Washington sent 1.34 per cent of the total number of Ameri cans and will be allotted tne same percentage of the war trophies cap tured. Among the trophies alloted to Washington are five 75 mm. howit zers, six 105 mm. howitzers, two 210 mm. howitzers, S33 rifles. 134 ma- fihin ErnnR RSfi ha.vnne.ts. 724 cnn-l teens, 160 assorted helmets, 47 orna mental helmets and 91 fur-covered knapsacks Practically every county set ln Washington has asked for German cannon and other trophies. No plan has yets been worked out for dis tributing the state's share among the cities. A collection of photographs of sail ing vessels which has constituted the life hobby of Henry Rothschild, presi dent of the Brown & McCabe Steve doring company of this city, arrived at Mr. Rothschild's office yesterday from Port Townsend. The collection is considered the finest and most com plete of sail vessels ever made on this coast if not in the world, and its owner is reputed to have rejected of fers of several thousand dollars for the photographs. The collection includes every type of sailing vessel operated on the Pa- fific coast during the last 40 years and among ttie photographs are many of old-time vessels which have found resting places at the bottom of the seven seas, or have been broken up f.or junk. Most of the vessels are shown under full sail, and the pic tures have been made under all con ditions of weather. Some of the ships are shown bowling along under veritable cloud of canvas with a fair wind astern, while others are reefed down to a tiny strip of sail with storm waves breaking over the decks. One of the rare photographs Is that of the Thomas W. Lawton, said to be the only seven-masted schooner ever built. Mr. Rothschild left his collection at Port Townsend when he came here from that port 10 years ago. His chief problem now lies in what-to do with the photographs now that they are here. His- present office accom modations are inadequate to display the entire collection.
