ON SOFT DRINK SALE
City Council Provides Strict
Regulation for Dealers.
WOOD KEGS ARE BARRED
Ordlnam-c Requires Thai .Juices of
Fruit Be Kcpl Always in
Mass Containers.
An alcohol -proof ordinance, guar
anteed to remove all traces of pre
Volstcad voltage from liquors man
ufactured or sold in Portland with
the cognizance and approval of the
officials, was passed yesterday after
noon by the city council.
In other words, all imbibers of non
alcoholic beverages legally made and
dispensed here may rest assured t hat
the drinks well deserve t heir name.
Heneafter soft drinks will be made
aoft, kept soft and drunk soft. Every
vcstige of a "kick" and every in
gredient or incentive which might
possibly create a kick, will be re
moved from such drinks- as come
with in the con noil men's knowledge.
In a lengthy, intricately-worded
amendment to an already stringent
ordinance, the council created a new
law so air-tight, that none but boot
leggers may now arr- on trans
actions irk strong drinks.
The drastic a tu--juiiiH'Pl was tho re
sult of investigations into the work
ings of manufacturing and retailing
establishments recently completed by
the council. SevcraJ of. the soft drink
dispensaries were dispensed with by
the commissioners with the simple
expedient of revoking thetr licenses.
nd one large manufacturing concern
narrowly escaped th,e same fate by
a margin of one vote.
rlio Styled Bold.
"You gent lemon have done some
thing that even the federal govern
ment did not ia.re to do." remarked
Elton Watkins, attorney for one large
soda works, after sadly viewing the
proceeding or the council. The re
mark by Uimni - Rigc-low Miat
perhaps conditions might have been
better had tho federal government
taken the same tfteps did nothing to
alleviate the wistful look in Watkins"
ye.
Wooden kegs came under the of
ficial disapproval of the councilmen.
The ordinance provides that all fruit
juices- must be put up in glass con
tainers tu protect them from fer
nciit;iTion. Moreover, on certain bot
tles, labels not less than three inches.
Mjuare must be affixed stating the
Ibllow toy;:
"(I) Name and address of manu
facturer or bottler; CI) date of de
livery to purchaser: (3) does not
CMntain over one-half of one per cent
um of aleohol by volume; (4 name
of contents; Bf do not admit air
except when drawing contents; (6")
keep in cool place; 7 do not tamper
with or remove label; (8) at first
sign of f ermen ta tion must be re
turned and will be accepted."
I.lccae I.nw Striet.
As heretofore, all manufacturers,
dealers and retailers of soft drinks
must operate under a municipal
license, issued by the city, and revo
cable at the will of the council. It is
by means of this license that the in ,
dustry wilt be controlled.
Licenses will not be granted to
persons under -1 years of age. accord
ing to the new measure, and unless
especially approved by council, no
licenses will be granted to non-citizens
of the United States; t- any per.
son who has not resided in the city
of Portland for a period of one year
immediately prior to application; to
any person who has been convicted
of a violation of federal, state or
City laws on intoxicating liquors; or
to any person desiring to conduct a
business at a location where a pro
prietor has within the year previous
been ronvicted of a violation of the
federal, state or city prohibition laws.
Screen Are Barred.
In any establishment where soft
drinks are served the license holder
must not ma int ain any "screen, in
terior swinging doors, window blinds,
or any obstruction whatsoever that
will obstruct the view" of passe rs
by, or to arrange "dazzling or glar
ing lights in sui'h a manner as to pre
vent" a elear view.
Tho propxietur is required by the
ord inance to take all reasonable
means to prevent the fermentation of
any b verage, and to see that no in
grcditnl which might produce or
st imu late fermentation is placed into
the oft drink. He is responsible for
the actions of his employes while at
bis establishment.
On his part the manufacturer
must eomply with all federal and
state prohibition regulations in or
der to have a city limn Ml. and must
fierce pi all fermented beverages re-"
turned to him by the retailers. In
the distribution of cider, the method
of treatment must be stated on the
bottles.
this result is not to make the mere
statement that ft is your intention
to give good service, or to submit to
the public a large indigestible vol
ume of statistics and then sit down
and wait for the millennium. The
thing to do is to explain your situa
tion in understandable terms to just
as many folks as possible. if you
have a good case, as most public
utilities nowadays have, and you will
tell the whole truth about your sit
uation in a simple and convincing
manner and give it deserving circula
tion through the best available ad
vertising medium you are certain to
rally the public in your support.
"Every man desires good electric
railway, gas. light, telephone and
telegraph service, and he will help
you give it to him if you can show
nim mat nis neip is neeaea io ac- j
e-omplish this very uesiraoie ena.
And 1 know that you can. do this If
you will just tell him the simple
facts of the situation that obtain to
day in every public utility."

Suggestions for Investors
Buying Industrial Securities
First, carefully investigate the merits of the company's organ
ization, the economy of its financing operations and the charac
ter of its directorate and officers.
Second, carefully Consider whether the industry offering its
stock proposes to manufacture an essential product or a luxury.
Food Products naturally head the list of essentials, as food
sustains, life and is never used a second time.
With ample capital and efficient management, an industry
manufacturing a food product in which there is a good margin
of profit has every element of success in its favor.
Such an industry is the Portland Vegetable Oil Mills Company,
now offering an investment of unusual merit, safe, sound and
conservative.

Premier Khallis announced at a

Greek army in Smyrna, in its offensive-
against the Turks, had advanced
19 miles. It dispersed three Turkish
divisions and captured one Turkish
general, the premier said.
The British minister entered protest
with the Greek government over the
actiont of a section of the Greek press
in printing editorials condoning the
attempt to assassinate Venire lots,
made by two Greek officers in Paris
last August. The articles urged the
Greek nation to stand behind the ac
cused men.
It now appears improbable that
King Constantine will visit Smyrna
as he had planned, the reason glve'n
being that Smyrna is not yet a Greek
state because the treaty of Sevres
has not yet been ratified

CONSTANTINOPLE. Jan. 12. The
Greek advance towards Esk isheh r is
explained by the Turkish nationalists
as a result of a transfer of the Turk
ish fo -ces in the Ushak section.
Supporters of former Premier Veni

jiU2cesse and assert that the advance
was achieved at a heavy cost in killed

It appears, nevertheless, that the
Greeks now threaten the railway be

This Additional Group, added to Clothing on Hand, Repre

unrestricted selection, at this ONE low price
Following the rush of buying the first three days of the opening
sale many men were disappointed because the kind of suits and overcoats their friends had
bought were not to be found in the stock that remained. We regretted it, but we were un
able to cdnsole them in any manner. However, along about the fifth day of the sale, the
big clothing manufacturers, hearing of the success of this event, saw a golden opportunity
to take advantage of this event and not only assist us in the continuation of it, but help them
selves by selling some of the men's clothing which they had in stock due to the lack of orders.
We were quick to see the favorable position we were in. We could
go to the leading manufacturers of men's clothing and choose indiscriminately from their
stocks any garments, no matter how much they were made to be sold for, and gel them at a
price so as to sell them for $36.00.
Our buyer hurried East. Went to the BEST makers. Selected the
