County School Superintendent Vedder has just received instructions from J. A. Churcnill. superintendent of public instruction, that the Oregon Committee of the European Relief council has planned an essay contest lor the schools of Oregon. The title of the essay will be "What Will Be America's Answer to ' the Cry of, Europe's Starving Children?" - The contest was limited to the pupils of the eighth grade and high school, whose ages range from 13 to 18. There will be no prizes, simply first, second and third honors. Su perintendent Vedder will select the three best essays in Clackamas coun ty and forward them to the state committee.

The defense of the Facific coast from an engineering standpoint, was informally discussed last night at a dinner of the Portland post of the Society of American Military, Engin eers, at the chamber of commerce. The meeting was well attended and among those present were men who served at home and abroad during the war. The society is a nallonal organiza tion with a membership of more than 3000 and is dedicated to a study of problems associated with the defense of the country and its policy Is to assist in whatever way it may in plans for foe safety of the nation. All . engineers with qualifications, whether they served as officers or enlisted men, are eligible to member ship, says Major R. Parks', who had Charge of ,the programme last n'ght. Case of Assessments Exceeding Valuation of Land W ill Be Pre sented to City Council. Residents holding property on East Fifty-eighth street from East Glisan street to East Stark will appear be fore the city council with a dual com plaint that improvement of this street, recently completed, is an exceedingly poor job and, furthermore, mar. me ftoata of the nroiect will virtually confiscate the property assessed. The improvement project was ap proved bv the city council only after a lengthy and strenuous fight. The final check made by tne aeparimeut of public works showed that SO per cent of the property owners were op posed to the improvement ana tne remaining 60 per cent ravored it. A check shows that the cost of the improvement far exceeds the assessed valuation in the majority or cases. In one instance records show that a lot in ADDledale addition is assessed for $225, while the improvement cost i951.55. While this is the highest cost, other lots assessed at $200, with an improvement cost of between $350 and $400 are common in this project. Records show that one single prop erty owner has been assessed more than $2400 for improvement costs, while the assessed valuation of the property involved Is little more than $1000. Under the city charter property owners are required to pay Improve ments in excess of assessed valua tion. It is believed that many prop erty owners will be forced to let the city take over the property for de linquent assessments. WOMAN CALLS FOR HELP Mrs. James Taylor Fears Husband Once in.

The Clackamas county' head quarters of the European relief drive was opened today at the commercial club parlors. Plans are being rushed for the final organization of the county's campaign which begins Sun day. The county is being divided into seven districts corresponding to the seven banking districts with a chair man for each district, and each school district ot the county will be assigned to one of these larger divisions. J. Christy Wilson, brother of Don Wilson of this city, has been in the near east for the past two years as a missionary and many letters from him describe the appalling condition of the children in that part of the world. According to Mr. Wilson, these starving children will stand in line for hours for something to eat, and even in severe weather have no more clothing than a burlap sack with- holes cut in them for the head and arms. Herbert Hoover has appealed to the generous hearted people of the nation to meet the emergency of Europe s starving child life and points out that "$10 will buy the life of a child until next harvest." Clackamas county's quota is $6000 the lives of 000 children. wnen, acoraing .o tne ponce, ner 11 li s - 1 - , . - .. tVl- band threatened to kUl her about 9 Relief con"c'1 cama. f . f", 'k! n'rlnrk lat niirht. starvms uu i - " I 1 J rni....r.n1r C L A 1 O t Tfl A t r"l m Officers responded to the call, but , 1 XT V, V.r,i,,Vir,r, wi did not enter the house to arrest Tay lor. .

Judging from reports from drug gists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is ne preparation, that has been very suc cessful -in - overcoming: these condi tions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. An examining physician for one of the prominent life insurance com panies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large ma jority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. Dr. JKilmer's Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores In bottles of two sizes, medium and large. - . - - However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bin-ghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writ ing be sure and mention this paper. Adv. Every Pair of Shoes We Own Must Go and Go Quickly!

AMERICAN IS DECORATED CIDER FERMENTS EASILY Benzoatc of Soda Kecommcndcd to Prevent "Kick." Sweet cider, if exposed to the air, will" ferment and the only way to nrevent fermentation is to filter the cider and add a small quantity of benzoate of soda, a preservative, ac cording to Albert S. Wells, state food chemist, who yesterday concluded a three weeks' experiment. Various cider companies now filter their product, siiid Mr. Wells, and add to it one-tenth of 1 per cent of benzoate of soria. The soda, it isNaid, is not harmful, f According to Mr. Wells, who began his investigation with a gallon of fresh sweet apple cider, if the cork is taken from the.
