Free dental service for all children
In the Portland schools who desire
now is furnished by the portable den
tal clinic, which has started on the
rounds of the schools of the city. 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.

FIRE TRAPS PROTESTED
COUNCIL- PLAXS TO PROTECT
PEOPLE AGAINST MENACE.
Elevator Shafts, Stairways, Light
Wells and Dumb Walters in
Dwellings to Be Enclosed.
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.

Arson Feature in Parade

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.

when Patrolman Reed arrested Rialto
Lorenxo and Pletro Calcagno at
Klrby and Mason streets, a few doors

street. The policeman did not know
that Mrs. Turner was being annoyed,
and the case was dismissed when it
came up for trial in the municipal
court.
Mrs. Turner's neighbors saw two
men hanging around her home last
night and told her about it. She re
ported her suspicions to the wom
en's protective bureau, and the chief
ordered all patrolmen in that die
trict to keep watch Of her house.

CHICAGO. 111., Oct. 5. (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.
