The clinic Is supported by the Junior Red Cross under the direction of Mrs. S. M. Blumauer. The three portable outfits, each 'consisting of a dentist's chair and all the necessary Instruments, at present are installed in the Stephens, Portsmouth and Lents schools. "When the children in these districts have been attended to the equipment will be moved to other sections. Some schools will require more time than others, but it is believed that it will be possible to visit all by June. Defective Teeth Common. "The dental clinic Is a conspicuous feature of the local programme this year," said Mrs. Blumauer yesterday, "and we consider it very Important. If so much ill heatlh Is due to bad condition of the teeth, as so many doctors tell us, the Immediate effect on the children should be beneficial. A recent report shows that 87 per cent of the children In the schools here have defective teeth. "We have started a movement which we believe will be a saving to the taxpayers as well as a great help to the children themselves. If the only thing we accomplish is to teach children the sanitary care of their teeth It will be worth while." The preliminary work of the first examination is done by the nurse, who assists the doctor in his .work. She lines up the children and, with out the use of any Instruments, de termines the condition of the child's teeth. Then when the dentist comes the children who need his attention are ready. Service Not CompolMry. "I hope' it will be understood that nothing is compulsory about this," said Mrs. Blumauer. "If the children do not wish to have the"lr teeth treated, they do not have to. Every thing in connection with It Is volun tary." The school children through their paper drive this week are helping to raiise part of the money needed to pay for dental equipment used in the clinics. Membership dues in the Junior Red Cross association also will assist in meeting these expenses. The Dental association, through its committee. Dr. C. M. Harrison, Dr. Clarence Jones and Dr. Millard Hol brook, is helping to organize the den tal work in the schools. The commit tee visited, the three schools in which the work was started Monday and will meet frequently with the dentists who are serving in the schools. Free dental service already is being given by the clinics in the City Mall and Neighborhood house, which will care for the children from the Fai ig, Shattuck, Holman, Ladd and Couch schools.

Several amendments to the pro posed fire ordinance, now under con sideration by the city council, have been presented to City Commissioner Barbur by the Oregon chapter of the American Institute of Architects. The ordinance, drafted under the direction of Fire .Marshal Qrenfell and Chief Building Inspector Flum- itier, if adopted, would require fire proof inclosure of all elevator shafts, stairways, light wells and dumb waiters in all apartment houses, hotels and lodging houses The amendments, presented by H. A. Whitney, representing tiie- Oregon chapter, would permit present in closures to stand, even though tMey were not constructed of fire-proof material. These amendments will be presented to the council tomorrow for preliminary consideration. Many of the light wells, stairways and dumb waiters in the hotels and lodging houses." said Mr. Whitney, 'are constructed of lath and plaster. The purpose of the proposed ordi nance is to eliminate draughts which permit fire to spread and cut off es cape from the building. 'Inclosures, even if constructed of lath and plaster, will cut off draught until such time as guests In the hotels can make their way from the building. 'The architects, in considering the proposed legislation, felt that all un necessary expense should be elimi nated, although they also feel that every step should be taken to protect lives." It Is expected the final draft of the ordinance will be considered by the council a week from today. 'S E LUMBERMEN'S TRUST COM- PANY IS CONGRATULATED.

Arson Feature in Parade Starts Merry Rumpus. Proponed "Stnnt" With Convict Vniform Stirs Governor and la Soft Pedaled. ISCONCEPTION of one of the fea- tion with the fire-prevention parade scheduled next Saturday in' Portland brought no end of grief to members of the fire-prevention parade com mittee, of which Aaron Frank Is chairman. Announcement was made that con victs serving time in the Oregon penitentiary for arson would be used in the parade as horrible examples for any person who might have any ideas of purposely setting a fire. But the committee had no idea of I AND MISS uslng an honest-to-goodness convict. Perish the thought! What the committee" had planned was to borrow a convict's suit and recruit someone to play the role of the convict. If any person thought that the substitute was the "real thing" so much the better impres sion. But before explanations could b made. Governor Olcott began an in vestlgation to learn upon whose au thority the loan of convicts was to be made. Warden Compton informed the governor that , he had assured no one of the loan, of either the con victs or the suits. The governor then called Fire Marshal Grenfell of Port land, who quickly informed him that it was all a mistake. City Commissioner Blgelow" said last niaht that none of the commit tee had even so much as thought of usinir real convicts. He said the plan of using the striped subsitute was a etunt, the nature of which was to have been keDt a dark secret and pulled on the nubile as a surprise. However, upon publication of the plans. Commissioner Bigelow said that as far as he knew the substitute would be used. PGLICEMAN IS GUARDED PROTECTION OF HOME OF MRS TURNERvORDERED.

(Special.) John T. Adams, vice-presWient of the republican national committee in charge of the western headquarters, today made .the following statement of the senatorial situation: The election of a republican sen ate is almost as vital as the election of a republican president. Senatqf Harding will be the next president of the United States. The next senate ill be republican, but it is not as ured that the republicans will have rood working majority. If we are to have a real repub lican administration, we have got to ave a majority of at least 12. Such majorl'.y cannot be had without the republicans in every state in tn north, west and east, where senators will be elected this year, as well at the states bordering the solid south work in tlje remaining weeks of the campaign "as they have not worked ince the Chicago convention. Optimism Reported Everywhere. 'Republicans everywhere are op timi8tic; the reasons for the optimism hould be capitalized, not neglected. Any republican can visualize the sit uation Mr. Harding would face if he would be compelled to deal with a senate almost evenly divided. 'The issues before the senate will be tremendous. The ending of the war conditions, the question of a league of nations, the whole tax pol icy of the administration, the mer hant marine, the tariff, and a nun dred other grave problems can be solved rightly only with the aid of the senate. 'The senate must be safely repub lican to solve them properly. To re alize this one has only to consider the case of Senator Lenroot as an il usiraiion. Lenroot Type Held Needed. The nation cannot afford to lose the services of Senator Lenroot. Sen ator Lenroot is not Wisconsin's asset alone. He Is the nation's asset. Men ike Lenroot, of great constructive ability, trained to legislative expert ence and even-tempered, will be need ed in the senate of the United States for the next ten years as never be fore in the history of our country. He is a republican and the repub lean party is deservedly proud of him. He is a liberal statesman who erves America and all the people first, last and all the time. "Now Senator Lenroot is just one of ine several eminent senators here in the middle west that the Harding ad ministration must have. Their elec tion is a necessity for country and party, and this necessity ought to be pressed home on every voter at. thi time. 'It is as necessary that the senate be republican as it is that Mr. Har ding be elected, as he will be, by the greatest popular vote ever given any man for the highest office In the and. Let our aim be to make the senatorial contests as Important as the contest for the presidency." BDND REHEARING DENIED SUPREME COURT PUTS END TO CLACKAMAS CASE. Suit Involving $1,700,000 High way Issue Affects Other Coun ties That Have Spent Funds. OREGON CITT. Oct. 6. The su preme court of Oregon has bverruled motion of Clarke county, asking rehearing on the $1,700,000 bond issu which was declared invalid in a deel sion of the court, and as far as that issue is concerned the case is ended Several other counties were inter ested in the case, as they had voted bonds under the same ruling a Clackamas county, some of them even issuing and spending them. Under the laws of 1913, a county was given authority to issue bond for 2 per cent of the County's assessed valuation, and in 1919 a constitutional amendment was passed whereby a county could vote bonds up to 6 per Cent of Its assessed Valuation. The 8 per cent bonds were voted In this county, but before they were issued the question of their - validity was taken to the supreme court, and the court ruled a county could not issue bonds up to 6 per cent under the machinery used for the 2 per cent bonds. The court ruled that it would be necessary for the legislature to pass additional legislation to float these new bonds. The Jl, 700,000 bond issue was for hard-surface roads in Clackamas county, and the ruling of the supreme court put a stop to much of the work contemplated here this year. In order to procure this money for roads it will be necessary for the legislature to make the necessary laws and for the people to vote on the bond issue again. Injured Man's Damages Raised.
