TO CONCLUDE TODAY Election of Milwaukee Man as I President Forecast. MEET DECLARED SUCCESS tremendous Importance to all Kiwanis organizations, he averred, was the power of common objective to arouse the interest of the membership and retain interest within the organiza tion. - In treating on common, objectives, Mr. Esenwein referred to the move ments lnnnrhpH Yiv tha vnrinna ITI. who proposed the inauguration of an wanls organizations in North America, executivo committee which was sub-l8omo Kiwanis organizations have Requcntly named. As us cnairman, he has done work to which Mr., Elliott referred, as did International Secre tary Cummings at the afternoon session. Mr. Ward is not seeking the office, but those who are close to the heart of the organization declare he is badly needed in the important work to come. Two cities are competing for the next convention, Cleveland, O., and Milwaukee. Wis. Many delegates favor Cleveland as the convention city for 1921, because It is a city centrally located and accessible to the large membership body. It is pointed out that Cleveland is within 500 miles of 147 clubs, holding a membership of over 62 per cent of the entire total.,' It is a city with 6500 hotel rooms with bath, big con vention hall centrally located in a town of a million population, bathing beaches galore, and theaters. The Cleveland club is strong, and next to Detroit club is the oldest in the organization. It is amply able to entertain a convention of 10,000 Kiwanis. President's Banquet Tonight. The business session will open at 10 o'clock in the Elks temple with invocation by Rev. Walter H. Nugent. The morning address will be on "The Army and Its Relation to the People" by Brigadier-General William C. lavis. Camp Lewis, Wash. The president's banquet in the evening will be eld in the municipal auditorium, where plates have been laid for 1000 Kiwanians and their ladies. Circuit Judge Stapleton will be toastrnaster. At the close of the day, delegates yesterday considered amendments to the Kiwanis constitution, involving internal administration changes, vot ing and discussion continuing so long that the report of the resolutions committee, headed by E. F. Arras, a district governor of Columbus, Ohio, was postponed until today. presentation of a silver-trimmed ebony gavel to the Kiwanis club of Peoria, 111., as winner in the attend ance contest with 87 per cent of the membership attending during the year, among clubs with membership of 101 or more, and a similar gavel to the club of Galesburg, 111., having an average attendance, among clubs of less than 100 members, of 97 per cent, also were postponed. Residence Districts Toured. The district of Illinois and eastern Iowa won the attendance banner with an average of 78 per cent, but the presentation to Victor M. Johnson district governor, was delayed until today. Fred C. Wilson of Peoria, and L. J. Pollard of Galesburg, are .scheduled to receive the gavels on behalf of their clubs. Automobiles left the Portland hotel last night with more than 800 Kl wanians, taking the visitors on a tour of the west side residential section and boulevards, terminating at Coun cil Crest. At the crest a "weinle roast" was held under the supervision of the Progressive Business Men's club in honor of the Kiwanians and the evening was given over to danc ing and amusements J. Berg Esenwein Talks. Power of the proper sort is the true measure of bigness in any organ ization, according to J. Berg Esen wein of Springfield, Mass., who spok no "How Great Is Kiwanis" at the morning session. "Power is a word with counties definitions," explained Mr. Esenwein, "Misdirected power is a greater evil than lack of power. Success to Kiwanis must be brought about throuch the power of discipline and force. It is extremely important that we have liberty and yet have suffi cient authority to guide our actions." The power of heart, according to the speaker, was measured by cor diality and not hy "handlality." Of purchased summer camps for children and are operating such institutions; tiiers have launched charitable move ments and others' have taken initia tive in obtaining civic improvements. Warning Note Sounded. Kiwanis In any community can be of real service if the power of the organization is properly exercised." The speaker sounded a warning note against gloating over quantity of membership and cautioned the delegates to seek for quality and not quantity when seeking recruits for membership in the organization. The morning session closed with reports of officers and of work of ndividual clubs. Roe Fulkerson editor of the Kiwanis magazine, told of the progress of the publication during the last year and pleaded for more co-operation. Incidentally, he failed to settle the important Question of the pronunciation of "Kiwanis." If I am not mistaken. Editor Fulkerson pronounced the - name or our club 'Keewanis.' Is that cor rect?" observed a delegate.' 'If the brother listened attentively. he would have noticed that I pro nounced it both 'Keewanis' and 'Kih wanis." I am taking no chances,' re torted Editor Fulkerson. - Russell E. Ward, chairman of the Bnance committee, reported a healthy condition of finances. Tacoma Kiwanians planned a fea ture for the convention in the send ing of copies of a special Kiwanis edition of the Tacoma Ledger to Port land Dy airplane yesterday for dis tribution to delegates.

Is elected president this I morning, and Louisville. Ky.. is I selected as the place of meeting for tne 1821 convention, the annual na tional convention of the Travelers' Protective association of America will come to an official close. There s no contest on for president nor Is there any other city making a bid for next year's convention, hence these two important features of the closing day doubtless will be accom plished without a fight. At its business session yesterday the association declined to let down the bars to admit women into mem bership. It was pointed out by some delegates that to do so would neces sitate the procuring of new charters n some states and the prevailing sen- I timent,- anyway, was against the ad mission of women. The convention likewise refused to permit insurance solicitors or automobile salesmen to become members of the organization. Secretary's Pay Increased. The salary of the secretary the only paid official of the association was Increased from. $6000 to $8000 an nually by unanimous vote. An amend ment to the constitution originally placed the increase at $10,000, but when it appeared that some opposi tion would be met. the committee in charge of the amendment lowered it to $8000 and it was adopted without opposition. S. T. Logan, who has served as na tional secretary for ten consecutive years, was given an ovation after Jhe amendment had been adopted. Compelled to respond, he gave a short talk In which he thanked the travel ers for their confidence in him. The Missouri delegation stopped the meet ing for several minutes while It sang the praises of the secretary Business "cares of the meeting'were laid aside yesterday afternoon and the delegates and their wives' were taken on an automobile ride over the Columbia River highway. More than 1500 persons took the trip out to the fish hatchery at Bonneville. Short stops were made at Crown Point, Multnomah Falls. Eagle Creek and other scenic points along the highway. There was not an accident of any kind to mar the pleasure of tne visitors.

At present they are being domiciled in various downtown hotels. The alligators were sent to Portland by O. B. Jones, secretary of Tampa Kiwanis club, and 5-esterday were distributed to women in attendance at the convention. Fine pets, are, these alligators, and one thing in their favor is that they eat but twiee each week, according to Jones, recog nized authority on alligators and other members of the reptile family. As near as" can be estimated, at least one-third of the delegation now at tending the Kiwanis convention will remain in Portland to attend the Shrine convention next week. Though the skies have been over cast with clouds and now and then during the fore part of the Kiwanis convention these same clouds have opened up and showered Oregon rain on the visitors, delegates from every section of North America are singing the praises of Portland hospitality. "Kiwanians and their ladies can not tind words to express their ap preciation of the hospitality shown them by residents of Portland," said C. Samuel -Cummins, . international secretary. "And wherever a Kiwanian may travel, wherever he may be, the praises of Portland's hospitality and the wonderful scenery of the Pacifio northwest will be his constant text." . King of the pep dispensers in Ki wanis circles is Francis Russell, song leader. Russell spent two years in community war service work, assigned to the navy, and leading a thousand or two gobs in a song lest is no sinecure. But Russell knows how to turn the trick, as was evidenced at the Kiwanis session yesterday when he made the old Klks" lodge room resound with harmonious old-time songs, and, at the same time, kept up an Incessant chatter which kept the large crowd of delegates in high spirits. Sneaking of music, the Fort Worth Texas, quartet, composed of Bernard U. Taylor, J. V. Maclln, Fred Warren and James Wood, has been worked overtime. Wednesday night they appeared at the musicale in the Mult nomah hotel, at noon yesterday they sang at the dinner given for the ladies attending the Kiwanis conven tion and the quartet was heard twice yesterday at the main convention. In addition the quartet has been singing in restaurants, hotels, lobbies, thea ters and on the streets. These boys are willing to entertain and are always boosting the oil well city sf the southland. s Over ths door of a lawyer's offica in a Canadian city appears the fol lowing name, "A Swindle," runs a story printed in the current number of the Kiwanis magazine. A friend suggested the advisability of writing out his first name, thinking that Andrew or Arthur, as the case might be, would look better and sound better than the significant ""A Swindle." When Mr. Swindle whispered to his friend that his first "name was Adam the friend understood and was silent. To travel from the entered appren tice degree in masonry to the Shrine in 60 days is an unusually speedy journey, one which takes the average citizen from six months to a term of years, but "Vic" M. Johnson, inter national district governor of the Kiwanis club, consumed lust 60 days from the. time the first degree of Masonry was conferred until he traveled over the hot sands of the desert. In Canada attorneys are known as barristers, that Is, some of them are. Lawyers who have not progressed in the profession sufficiently to practice in the courts are known as solicitors. Leaders in the legal profession are permitted to write K. C. after their names. Now International President cuiot oi Kiwanis clubs is a K. C, or King's Counsel. But at the Kiwanis convention the delegates refuse to admit that K. C. has anything to do with his royal highness, the king of r-ngiand. "It means Kiwanis club. mat s au, explained Orville Thome. international trustee from Dallas. Texas.

Banquet Given 'Officers. The national officers were guests at a farewell banquet at 6:30 o'clock last night at Crown Point chalet.) They made the return trip to the city by moonlight. Many of the delegates will start for home early this afternoon and most of them will have left by mid night tonight. One special train will leave late tonight by way of San Francisco. numerous other travelers who are also Shriners will remain over for the Shrine meeting next week. There are 50 or more from the east who have decided to stay over for the Shrine and Rose Festival. That Stanhope C. Pier, president I of the Oregon and Washington divi sion, and chairman of the convention committee, has a good chance of be ing elected first vice-president was! the statement of his supporters about the hotel lobbies last night. His boom for this next to the highest office in the association was started during the middle of the week as a testi monial of the appreciation of the delegates, for they all declared this the best convention in the history of the organization. N. J. Roberts of Joplin, Mo., is also an avowed can didate for this office, and this prom ises to precipitate the only battle at the, closing session of the association. In these days of "rapid-transit" beverages turned out in a trifle over 24 hours, Schlitz purity is a matter of interest to your stomach. We admit to being over particular about the purity of Schlitz. Some people call us finical. Where Schlitz is made, time is a matter of no importance, tn corn parison with aging and purity. Vessels are both chemically and mechanically cleansed. Every receptacle into which the pure yeast culture enters is sterile. Every tub, keg, barrel every pipe and pump is scalded every time it is used. Schlitz is thoroughly aged, to save you biliousness. We believe that fer mentation should be concluded before Schlitz reaches your stomach. Then Schlitz is filtered through white wood pulp. It is put into sterilized bottles.

O LOOK at him you'd think that , dip" would have an all-day ! ob in going through the pockets of "Doc" Bourland of San Antonio, Tex., because there's so bloomln much of him that it's no small task for a pickpocket to make a thorough job. But the portly candy salesman from Texas was the victim of a San Fran cisco pickpocket and he was just $892 poorer when he arrived in Port land. The "dip" lifted "Doc's" leather and extracted $892 In checks, which represented a month's honest work in selling candies and Texas pecans. and when he arrived in Portland it looked like he'd have to put in an S. O. S. call to the home Dort- But his brother Texans and others who heard of his loss would have none of it. Thfcy showered him with money, and, you take their word for it, that it takes more than a few nickels to appease his appetite at meal time. He's wired to the home bank to stop payment on the checks. Texas came to the fore again dur ing the week when it brought forth the only bridal party to the conven tion. Said party consists of H. C. Jarrel of Dallas. Tex., and bride. They were married at Dallas just before they started for. the Portland convention and they've a bridal suite at the hotel where they're stopping in Portland. Mr. Jarrel, . it might be said in passing, has been the storm center of a heated but good natured argument within the Texas delegation over the proposal to amend the constitution to eliminate the unit system of voting at ' the travelers conventions. Mr. Jarrel stood - alone against Jiis delegation against this proposed amendment. Mr. Jarrel insists that an afternoon paper misquoted him during the course of a talk Tuesday morning, and he produced the stenographer's notes of the convention to substan tiate his claim. There came yesterday to the Mult nomah hotel a letter from Dallas, Tex., with this address on the envelope: 'To Mr. and Mrs. T. P. A. Bride groom, Portland, Or." And within ten minutes after Its arrival, the letter had been delivered to - the ' bridal couple ' from Texas. Such is the power of publicity of the Travelers' Protective association. Indiana, as the whole world knows. is noted for its poets and humorists. And some unknown wooer of the fickle goddess. Muse, has tagged some of the delegates in rhyme. Here's what he says about Jim Stockwell of Evansville, Ind.: Kverybody knows old Jim Stockwell; What he does ro one can tell; Who he does he never lets on ; Sly old Jim, the son of a cud. "We southerners may boast of our I vaunted hospitality, but I speak truthfully and straight from the I heart when I say that you Portland ers are the best in the world 'at en tertaining the visitors within your gates." Thus spoke Charles A. Web ber of Knoxville, Tenn., who said that delegates from all states are de claring the Portland convention to be by far the best in the history of the association. A little poker party about sun-up at the Multnomah hotel yesterday morning cost M. Beauchamp of Beau mont, Tex., a ten-spot and a lot of I grief. These rangers, four in number. decided to deal a hand of "down the I river" a peculiar Texas offspring of I poker the loser to pay for the break fast for the crowd. Beauchamp lost. And then those other three Texans gave double orders for "ham I If he gets in another game the Beau mont man says it Is a cinch he'll have I to wire home for more funds. It was at Multnomah Falls, and group of the national officers stood admiring the water as it tumbled over the rock cliffs. "My, but isn't this a surprise?" exulted Schuyler Logan, national sec retary. "Nothing surprising about it at I all," was, the quick retort of N. Stan ley Brown, national director. "Where else could the water go?" Following the final business ses sion today, the visitors will be taken on a' boat ride through, the harbor I under the direction ot Jacob Spier.
