Washington Directors Hold Ses

There Is a style show on at the
Portland hotel of a class of garments
rarely selected by those -who wear
them. In photograph and illustration
the exhibitors show comparisons of
the vogue of 1920 with that of for
mer years.
It is the annual convention of the
Oregon Funeral Directors" association
and the exhibitors are the represen
tatives of manufacturers.
While the association is devoting
its sessions to the consideration of
problems of business, methods and
practice of undertakers, one of the
Interesting phases is the showing of
the supplies by manufacturers and
something like a dozen parlors and
rooms of the hotel are given up to
these displays.
Submarine Vault Sbown.
There is a working exhibit of a
"submarine" vault, as the undertakers
have nicknamed It a metal vault
that keeps Its contents perfectly dry
though submerged in several feet of
water. The mo-del shown is a center
of interest. Materials and methods for
restoring features of the dead to ap
pear as their friends knew them in
life include cosmetics, powders and
wax.
And the high cost movement has
hit the undertaking business as it
rhka other things. Burial robes have
advanced more than 200 per cent In
price since the ante-bellum days,
which the manufacturers say is large
ly represented by higher labor costs,
as well as shortage of materials.

ton held their annual meeting at Van

BDY PLEADS FOR MERCY
TOUXG HOLDUP ARTIST FAILS
TO MOVE COURT.
Frank Payne, Aged 18, Given Sen
tence of 10 Years In State
Prison of Oregon.
Arguments presented yesterday in
the circuit court by Frank Payne, 18-
year-old hold-up man with all the
convincingness of a seasoned attorney
failed to influence Presiding Judge
Tazwell in allowing parole or stay of
sentence on two indictments against
the youth. He must serve ljlve years
in the state penitentiary on each
charge.
Payne declined counsel, admitted
his guilt frankly and proceeded to
enumerate a history of crime that
was in a class with vagabond ad
ventures of the 10-cent-paper novel
variety.
In spite of his youth he has been
convicted of larceny in Wyoming and
assault in Colorado and has been con
fined in a state training school in
Washington. His latest depredations
were three hold-ups in Portland.
"What did you do it for?" asked
Judge Tazwcll.
"I was broke, couldn't find work,
knew no one in town and couldn't beg
money," the boy answered. "I had $2
In my pocket and a revolver."
The boy said his father and mother
died when he was two years old1, and
his married half-sister adopted him.
He couldn't get along with her hus
band, whose ideas on religion failed
to agree with his ideas of bringing up
boys. After that the story was of
runaways, fights and accidental "bor
rowings of belongings." Payne was
in the army during the war.
"Readin' and Writin'
and 'Rithmetic"
It's wonderful to be a boy! Many of us would
be boys again if we had the chance ! They
sound their "g's" nowadays and they go
more smartly clad. The twentieth-century
boy is keeping right up with the times!
Clothes mean a lot to boys just as they do to
men! The normal boy wants to look just as
well as his fellows or maybe a little better!
And you want him to look the same way!
Have you a boy? If you have; bring him in
here and show him through these stacks of

Bires, manager of a local fruit com
pany. On account of the high exchange
value of United States money in
Italian lire, and the present low tar
iff of one-half cent per pound, it
is possible for Italians and Sicilians
to sell their lemons in American mar
kets below the cost of producing the
California lemons.
It is stated that the Italian grower
who sells a box of lemons at $2 in
New York has more than $6 when he
has exchanged his money into Italian
money. Growers here assert that a
box of California lemona costs ap
proximately $3 to produce, and upon
adding the present freight rate of
$1.45 per box to New York, the cost
of their product in that city is about
$1.45 per box.
