The wooden steamer Anson S.
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,

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.

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

of the highest type to our republic

drawn from the results of this survey
are for the benefit of the law makers

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

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.

theft at Silverdale. Pa., where 700
pairs of trousers were stolen from
the factory of William Wismer.
The trousers were the property of
N- Snellenburg & Co. and the loss oc
casioned by the theft was estimated
at $21,000. because the coats ana vests
completing the suits already had been
made up.

Stanford Societies Present Counter
Plan to University Head.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal
Snrni-ities here have submitted to Dr.
Ray Lyman Wilbur, president oi
Stanford, an alternative proposal to
his plan for abolition of the present
sorority housing system.
nr Wilbur and the dean of women
hold that the separate living groups
are an undemocratic influence and
propose that all women shall live in

The sororities now suggest that the
university built or permit the sorori

their present houses for use as men's
dormitories and take possession of
houses in the proposed group.

"she" suddenly abandoned an attract

a deep bass voice.
"If I wanted to flirt with anybody
I'd pick out a good looking woman.
The young men tried to make dates
with me. and these two who causea
my arrest tried to get me to take a
ride with them in a motor car, but I
old them I was a nice "girl and would
not do it without an introduction.
They got sore and sent the police
after me."
When the officers recovered from
the shock they booked the "girl' for
impersonating a woman, for "she"

Some-unfortunate men and women

assert that the regular administra
