LOCAL DELEGATE NAMED
Ties Between ex-Fighters Declared
Stronger Than Peace Pacts .
. of Statesmen.
Fighting men of the allied nations
bound together with ties stronger
than the peace pacts of statesmen,
stronger than the lack of adequate
navies or armies with which to fight
that is the dream of Hanford Mac
Nider, national commander of the
American Legion, spokesman for a
million ex-service men and possessor
of 11 citations and nine decorations
for distinguished service in the world
war.
Realization of that dream Is vis
loned through the medium of the
Federation Inter-Allie des Ancienes
Combattant Inter-Allied Federation
of Former Combatants which meets
in Paris December 17 and 18. This
is an international organization in
which national societies of world-war
veterans represent Great Britain,
France, Italy and the United States.
Portland Man IVamed.
Appointment of William B. Follett
of Portland, first department com
mander of the American Legion in
Oregon, as head of the American Le
gion delegation to the Taris meeting
this month, was announced for the
first time on the arrival of Com
mander MacNider in this city yester
day with the Marshal Foclv party.
' Mr. Follett at present is in Algiers.
"If the fighting men of these na
tions are in concord and agree to
stand in a unit against future wars
between themselves and as a unit
against Inferior nations which might
have militaristic ambitions, they will
exert a powerful influence for world
peace," declared Commander Mac
Nlder. "It is not hoped to accom
plish a great deal at the meeting this
month, for we would wish to do
nothing which would embarrass the
arms limitation conference, but I
firmly believe that there Is a great
work before the allied veterans In the
, future."
Job Token Seriously.
"Mac." as half of the disabled vet
erans with whom he talked yester
day soon called the legion's national
head, takes his job very seriously, but
not himself. His dislike of formality
and all that goes with it was evi
denced plainly when he dodged the
reception at the union station given
Marshal Foch and did not appear In
he parade, remaining at the Multno
mah hotel. When the marshal's party
arrived at the hotel and corridors
were jammed with uniforms, city and
state officials, cameras and news
paper men, Commander MacNider was
not to be seen.
It took considerable Inquiry to dis
cover the legion s leader. In the re
ceptlon room of the Old Colony club
Commander MacNider was the center
of a group of 35 Interested and laugh
ing disabled veterans who had been
gleaned from Portland hospitals that
morning by drivers of the lied Cross
motor corps. He was talking in a
man-to-man tone and manner of
things In which his listeners were
keenly interested.
Legion Fight Outlined.
He told of the fight of the Ameri
can Legion for adjusted compensa
tion nationally, and of his orders to a
new legislative committee of -the or
ganization to go to Washington,
D. C, and not return to their homes
before the passage of the bill now
pending which would provide loans,
cash or land compensation for world
war veterans. He also told of the
plan to set aside a big fund available
in reasonable amounts to any dis
abled veterans on no security and a
low rate of interest.
"Don't think for a minute that the
American Legion Is not behind you
men every minute and has your wel
fare first in its heart," Commander
MacNider said to tho wounded men.
"We know that it was only the
scratch of a sergeant-major's pen
that put some of us into the hell of
the front line and others into the soft
berths far from danger. We know
you men are finding it a mighty long
war and are still paying for It"
Men Are Reassured.
Portland's disabled men, who had
heen worried considerably over the
rumor that the rates of government
allotments to wounded were to be cut
20 per cent, were reassured when
Commander MacN'lder told them that
he had JuBt received a telegram from
Charles It. Forbes, head of the United
States veteran bureau at Washing
ton, assuring him that no such cut
was contemplated.
Then the visitor began telling
etorlcs of the recent Kansas City con
vention, where rank was eliminated
and buck privates had colonels as
"orderlies. There was nothing
"high-brow" about the man who had
entered the war a "buck" and left it
a lieutenant-colonel. He called men
he had met a minute before "old
man" with the cameradcrio of the
soldier.
All the while distinguished persons
were talking to other distinguished
persons In the lobby outside and
throngs were parading about In
search of Commander MacNider, who
refused to be lionized.
Hospital In Visited.
After nearly an hour of chatting
wMth the disabled men. Commander
MacNider made hU way through the
crowded lobby, unrecognized as a
visitor of importance, and started for
the Hahnemann hospital of the public
health service to cheer up a few more
wounded "buddies." He Was escorted
by Miss Jane V. Doyle, executive sec
retary of the American lfed Cross In
Portland and chairman of hospitali
zation work of the legion in the state,
and Edward J. Elvers, department
adjutant of the legion.
The visitor showed little Interest
In the details of the hospital only
the men within. He searched out
all the disabled men, asked them their
outfits, where they were wounded
and if tlrere was anything the legion
could do for them that had not been
.done. He recalled many of their
units and chatted about men and of
ficers with whom both had served In
France.
Iowa Man Pound.
He found one buddy from his home
town. Mason City, la., and another
who had served in a regiment along
side his In the second ' division. The
meetings were brief but cordial and
the men appeared happier for the
visit.. Commander MacNider left them
with a wave of tho hand and a flash
of white teeth. His smile was very
engaging and contagious.

"The Fighter" Is an adaptation of
a story by Albert Payson Terhune. It
was directed by Henry Kolker. Con
way Tearle has the part of a man
who has battled all his life against
great odds. He finds himself finally
a successful power in the business
world, but not so successful in love.
His fight for the girl of his heart,
who has been his young ward, fur
nishes the romantic interest in the
picture. The picture Is said to be full
of the ort of action which audiences
like. The climax comes in a thrilling
train wreck in which the hero and
his engine pitch off of a burning
trestle Into a river 200 feet below.
Winifred Westover plays the lead
ing feminine role. Others in the cast
are Arthur Houseman, Warren Cook,
Helen Lindroth, Jack Stewart and
Ernest Lawford.
Many of the scenes are out-ofrdoor
pictures, which are said to have been
photographed with great care."
"Queen of Sheba" was well chosen
by John Hamrick as an opening at
traction for his new Blue Molise thea
ter at Eleventh and Washington
streets. It is a spectacular produc-1
tion, combining with skill the ele-1
ments which mak for a popular pic
ture. Action and suspense are contributed
by chariot races, which furnish one
of the real thrills of the picture. The
costumes are gorgeous as befits a
production of such magnitude and the
settings are elaborate.
Betty BIythe makes a beautiful
queen and Fritz Leiber is splendid
as the king. The intrigue at the
court is the source of much of the
plot. All the principa. parts are well
handled by capable actors and the
mob scenes show excellent work on
the part of the director
The new lighting offects at the
theater add mat-a!!v to the audi
ence's enjoyment of the production.

SOVIET FULL PREDICTED
CHANGE IN KILE EXPECTED
ANY TIME.
51. A. Schwartz, Who Escaped From
Russia After Being Condemned
to Death, lleachcs Portland.
The soviet government in Russia is
likely to fall at any time, thinks M.
Alexander Schwartz, who recently es
caped from that country after . a
stormy visit during which- he was a
delegate at the soviet congress, and
later a prisoner condemned to be shot.
Mr. Schwartz was in Portland yester
day on a lecture tour of the country.
He declared that of the total popu
lation of Russia less than 50,000 were
communists. An additional 450,000, he
from Mrs. Hall by William Dolph, a
Kelso business man. was closed thi9
week, Mrs. J. L. Mooney handling the
transaction. This property includes
the small business buildings occupied
by W. A. Pratt, the Kelso Realty com
pany, the Wardrobe and the Kelso
Shoe Shop. The consideration was
not announced.

ernment cannot last.
said, were professing comrrrunists be
cause a communist receives more
bread than the other citizens of the
country.
Mr. Schwartz declared that the only
thing which kept the people if rom ris
ing against the communist govern
ment was the cruel manner in which
punishment was meted out to those
who disobeyed the rules of the leaders.
"I expect to hear of a change in
Russia any day," declared Mr.
Schwartz.
He said that Lenine and Trotzky
must observe care in traveling about
the country because a number of at
tempts had been made on their lives.
Mr. Schwartz went to Russia with
his wife, known by hr maiden name
of Jessie Molle, to investigate the so
viet system of government. He bore
with him the indorsement of the so
cialist party in the United States of
the communist government of Russia,
On his arrival at Moscow he said
he was made a representative of the
socialist party of the United States in
the soviet congress. The communists
there, however, began to fear him be
cause of Investigations which he was
making among the- inhabitants. He
was arrested and later condemned,
without a trial, to be shot. His wife
was placed in prison with him. It
was apparent, however, that the eovlet
government did not wish to carry out
the sentence of death in the case of
Schwartz because they feared that it
would bring the condemnation of the
workers and socialists of America
After Mrs. Schwartz had gone on a
hunger strike and was almost at the
point of death the two were deported.
Mrs. Schwartz died as a gesult of the
exposure and her experiences in Ger
many. Her husband managed to make
his way to America.
Since returning to this country he
flas appeared before the senate com
mittee on foreign affairs to tell of
conditions in Russia and has met with
the executive council of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor.
MAYOR IS OVERRULED
Olympia Council .Reaffirms Dis
missal of Police Officers.
OLYMPIA. Wash., Dec. 1. Over
the protest of Mayor C. H. BOwen,
the city council- Tuesday reaffirmed
its stand in voting for the dismissal
from the police force of Chief Endl
cott and Patrolmen Forbes and Han
sen. The men are charged with in
competency following the alleged
disappearance of approximately 82
bottles of liquor from a cell in the
city police station, which waa report
ed last week.
Mayor Bowen was not present 'at
the meeting last Friday night when
the removal of the officers was rec
ommended. At last night's session
he insisted on a full Investigation be
fore any action should be taken, but
finally acceded to the council's re
quest for dismissal.
It was agreed at the meeting that
no definite date should be set for the
removal of the officers and that they
be asked to hold office until their
successors are appointed.
CURFEW LAW IS DRAFTED
Great Many . Abscessed Teeth Can
Be Saved, in Opinion of Dr.
Percy R. Howe.
' The utmost conservatism in - the
practice of extracting teeth was urged
consistently by practically every
speaker on the programme of the first
day of the 2Sth annual session of the
Oregon State Dental association,
which opened yesterday in the green
room of the chamber ofi commerce.
One of the chief advocates of con
servatism was Dr. Percy R. Howe of
Forsyth institute, Boston, Mass., a
visitor at the convention. He said a
great many abcessed teeth, hereto
fore condemned by the medical and
dental professions, can be saved
through sterilization. ,
Children's Teeth Discussed.
In his morning talk, he also devot
ed considerable time to children's
teeth, demonstrating the practica
bility of saving them under conditions
which formerly were believed to ne
cessitate extraction on account of the
youth and the susceptibility of most
children to pain. He demonstrated
that these cases need not necessarily
be painful and can affordf great relief
and comfort to the patient
It was the prevalent opinion among
the1 250 members of the association
that teeth extraction has been carried
on radically In the past years, doctors
efteiy advising extraction before they
will accept patients for treatment.
Practice Is Condemned.
This practice is being condemned
by the dentists, who declare that the
new methods and discoveries In den
tal science make the great majority
of these removal cases unnecessary.'
Dr. Howe stressed this point again
last night when a Joint meeting was
held with the Portland and Multno
mah County Medical societies, at
which he set forth his theories
against radical condemnation of teeth
which doctors are apt to believe the
cause of ill-health.
The association has assembled
some of the leading .dentists of the
Pacific northwest to talk during the
three-day session. Dr. Howe from
Boston Is considered one of the au
thorities of the country, and some
of the other visitors are Dr. O. T.
Dean of Seattle, Dr. J. E. Argue of
Tacoma. Dr. Randall Williams Df Ta
coma. Dr. Roy W. West and Dr. C. J.
Stansbery, both of Seattle.
The programme for today, which
begins at 8 A. M.," Includes a wide
raige of technical subjects. Prac
tically every branch of dentistry will
be dealt with during the convention,
and clinic demonstrations of the lat
est improved methods will be given
on the various branches.
WtiDLE MIHEIS SET!
MOTION. CHARGING ILLEGAL I
SEARCH, TO BE ARGUED.
Court Action Begun to Recover
Papers and Records Now
Held as Evidence.
Next Monday has been, set by the
United States district court to listen
to the arguments on the motion filed
by attorneys for Joseph Woerndle,
charging Illegal search of his resi
dence and office on December IS. 191S.
by department of justice agents, on
the grounds that the search warrant
used at the time did not adequately
describe the property wanted, accord
ing to statute.
The motion, filed by W. P. LaRoche
and C. T. Haas, attorneys for
Woerndle, charged that W. R. Bryon.
ex-chief of the department of Justice
agents here, led a raid on Woerndle's
home at 710 Flanders street and his
office at 220 Chamber of Commerce
building, and seized all his papers,
letters, diaries and books. In violation
of the fourth and fifth amendments
of the constitution. It was requested
that all of these, forming the major
portion of the evidence against
Woerndle, together with the copies
made by the government, be returned.
The motion was based on the alle
gation that the affidavit used by
Bryon to obtain the search warrant
from ex-United States Commissioner
Drake, did not properly describe the
property and did not give sufficient
facts regarding it to permit the issu
ance of a search- warrant.
Lester W. Humphreys, United States
attorney, will argue the case for the
government on Monday, when the mo
tion will be heard in federal court. It
was not thought that the outcome,!
would seriously hamper the civil case I
pending for cancellation of Woerndle s
citizenship papers for aid he gave a
German spy during the war.

CODS BUDGET COMPLETED
HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTS ARE
ESTIMATED AT $492,000.'
Largest Item of Proposed Needs
Is $95,000 for Structure to
Span South Inlet.
MARSHFIELD, Or., Dec. 1. (Spe
cial.) Coos county's estimated bud
get for 1922, for highway improve
ments alone, is J492.000, and in this
estimate the available bond money
and special taxes are not Included.
The largest item of the proposed
needs is-OS.OOO for a structure to
span South inlet, an arm of the bay
between the main populated districts
and the coast section where the light
house coast guard station and prin
cipal resorts are situated. The bridge
stands condemned and last summer
came near collapsing from weakening
by teredoes.
The budget committee acting on
the estimates deeThre the money can
not be raised for use in 1922. An
other bridge item is for a structure
over Coal Bank inlet, adjoining the
city limits of Marshfield. Twenty
five thousand dollars is needed for
this reconstruction.
The committee, which has held two
sessions, has not reached any final
agreement. A condition was found in
the expenses of the county poor farm
which some members of the commit
tee believe should be righted and In
vestigated. It was stated by Dorsey
Krertzer, a member of the committee,
that it costs the county $1000 a year
for each inmate. The county farm is
considered an average, if not better
than average, farm, and many besides
the committee believe it should be
self-supporting.

Real Rest Depends Largely Upon
the Depth of Your Sleep
A warning to "light" or "poor" sleepers
The deeper and sounder you sleep the better
you feeL Five hours sound refreshing sleep does
you more actual good than ten hours restless,
disturbed sleep.
This is because the final conversion of food
into vital tissue and nerve cells goes on more
rapidly when the physical and mental forces are
at rest.
You can't get sound, refreshing sleep if your
nerves are agitated with tea or coffee. Both these
drinks contain caffeine, which is sometimes very
irritating to the brain and nervous system.
If you want to know the joy, vigor and
stamina that comes to the person who gets sound,
healthful sleep, why not stop taking tea or coffee
for a while, and drink delicious, invigorating
Pctum instead.
Thousands of people everywhere have found
that this was the only thing they needed in order
to bring about these very happy results.

Long Distance Lines in Oregon
Two weeks ago one of the worst storms in the history of
Oregon swept down the Columbia River gorge and among other
items of damage tore down our main east toll lead from the city
limits of Portland for 50 miles toward Hood River. This was not
merely an occasional break in wires or pole line, but every wire
and alm'ost every pole in the entire distance went down in a
tangled mass of wreckage.
As a result of this storm all of eastern and central Oregon and,
all of eastern Washington were cut off from Portland service.
Notwithstanding this wholesale destruction, we were able in
eight days, to get a line working through to eastern Oregon, and
at the present time we have sufficient circuits working to handle
our usual traffic with a minimum of delay.
This reconstruction was not accomplished without a great
effort. Carloads of poles and wire and hundreds of men were
thrown into the breach to restore as quickly as possible com
munication with eastern Washington and central and eastern
Oregon. Today we are able to offer the public toll service to all
parts of the state.
