Christmas refuses to quibble over
technicalities. It is yet a day away
but actuall) It began two or three
days ago. Yesterday It was in fuL!
tide and searching the holiday city
for cheerless homes and Jobless men.
So earnestly was the quest pursued
that these became rare in late after
noon, when the Salvation Army an
nounced that It had provided cheer
lor every family on its lengthy list.
Distribution of baskets by the Sal
vation Army began In the afternoon,
from the hall at 128 'I, First street,
and will be continued today when the
Volunteers of America will be simi
larly active at their headquarters, 414
Ash street. Among the early cele
brants was the Portland Ad club,
which commissioned K. N. Strong to
distribute goodies and gifts to 46 lit
tle folk in the children's home at 887
t'orbelt street. Likewise the Daddies'
club set forth with 4.10 baskets to the
homes of ex-service men temporarily
out of luck, and will continue the
same mission today.
2.1 Home Get Basket.
At American Legion headquarters
the women's auxiliary, under direc
tion of Coletta L.. Harthoiemy. has for
some days been giving relief to the
homes of ex-service men who apply
for work. Miss Harthoiemy said that
the food supplied was largely through
individual gift, and that the auxiliary
was acting merely as an agency for
big-hearted Portland people who want
to help but don't know where.
"We sent baskets to 25 homes yes
terday." she continued, "and in nearly
every instance there was dire neces
sity. For example, one man came to
us from a little town near here, and
asked for work. He said that he had
given his last dollar to his wife on
Monday, and that he knew she must
be hungry long since. At another
home we found that medical aid for
the sick wife could not be procured,
because of poverty, and that nearly
all their furniture had been sold to
buy food."
Dinner in lie f.ivrn Idle.
The Legion auxiliary. equipped
with funds from its recent bazaar,
will give a dinner to unemployed vet
erans Monday night at the Chamber
of Commerce dining hall, reaching In
this manner the single men who are
both jobless and homeless. Mean
while the distribution of groceries
fni other relief will go forward from
headquarters.
Among the ninny Christmas events
scheduled for' the next few days are:
The Elks' club Christmas tree, at
the municipal auditorium. at 11
o'clock tomorrow morning.
The Christmas dinner for homeless
men at Portland commons, at 11

( liurchea Hnve Programme.
A special Christmas programme
will be given at Portland commons.
Front and Burnside streets, at 7:30
o'clock Tuesday night.
Tractically all of the Sunday schools
of the city heard the Christmas story
last night, when the annual Yuletide
programmes were given. At First
Presbyterian church two cantatas
were given by 60 children, entitled
"Mrs. Santa Claus and the Christmas
Dolls." and "Children of the Christ
inas Spirit."
Santa Clans visited the babies of
averly Baby home yesterday and
literally showered them with gifts.
There was. as well, a splendiferous
tree. Though many of the children are
too young- to appraise Christmas as
more than a Jovial noise, there are
others whose mature ages say, three
or four years enable them to exact
the last tithe of enjoyment from the
celebration, as they did.
Piedmont Presbyterian church will
hold its annual Christmas entertain
ment for the Sunday school tonight at
7:30. A contribution for the benefit
of the risgah home. In apples, pota
toes, preserved fruit, etc.. will be
taken.

reason, were sung downtown yester
day by 70 students of the girls' poly
technic, at Olds. Wortman & King's,
Lipman & Wolfe's, and the Broadway
Hazclwood.

Spokesman Persuades Council to
Delay Action In Awarding Con
tract for Brick.
"Gunnite" as a substitute for fire
brick and the scientific ramif icntions
of the cement gun with which the
substance is applied proved the en
tering wedge by which an outsider
worked in on the fire brick contro
versy before the city council yester
day when the dispute over purchase
of 25.000 brick to reline furnaces of
Hie city incjnerator was taken up
again. So valiantly did Abe C. For
rester of Forrester, Lincoln & Stelger,
consulting engineers, press the ce
ment gun argument that the original
controversy between Oregon-made
and Canadian brick was forgotten,
and Forrester gained a chance for a
trial.
Forrester informed the council that
fire brick had been relegated to the
background as an insulating material
o'.ily and the proper application of
firs-resisting cement hydrated and
applied - under air pressure of the
"gun" formed a furnace lining that
would Resist furnace heat, acids and
anything the council or the garbage
incinerator tender might apply to it.
Forrester promised to hold a dem
onstration at' the incinerator this
morning.
The' matter of which brick to ac
cept will come up for disposition
Tuesday at 3 P. M.

World War Veteran and National
. Guard Officer Succumbs.
EUGENE. Or., Dec. 23. Special.)

member of the Oregon national guard
and a world war veteran, died in the
government hospital at Tacoma
Wednesday night, according to a tele
gram received by his relatives here.
The body will be brought to Eugene
for Interment.
Mr. Rohne had been captain of com
pany C, Oregon national guard, for
some time prior to his resignation a
few weeks ago when he was com
pelled to quit the service on account
of his health. He had been ordered
to the government hospital at Boise,
Idaho, for treatment but had stopped
at Tacoma and had not yet been
transferred to Boise.
Captain Rohne was a sergeant in
the 69th coast artillery, serving la
France. On discharge from the fed
eral service he re-enlisted in the na
tional guard.
Prisoners Charged With Driving
Autos While Intoxicated Also
Punished Severely.
Municipal Judge Rossman yester
day bubbled over with Christmas
spirit and held all police court bar
risters and their clients breathless
with anticipation and astonished at
his generosity. Bootleggers, drunks
and reckless drivers drew fines and
Jail sentences such as they had never
drawn before. Santa Claus slighted no
one in these categories, and everyone
who appeared before him received
gift certificates which were to be
taken to the clerk of court or to the
jailero. or both.
The first generous gift was awarded
to Ted Bush, who was arrested for
making liquor in a wash boiler at his
home, 688 Commercial street, and who
will remember the beneficence of the
judiciary while he serves 120 days in
Jail.
Woman Fined f.VMh
Mrs. Emma Johnson, 244 Broadwav
found a certificate in her Christmas
stocking which entitles her" to pay a
fine of JjOO for maintaining a nuis
ance. In order to determine the merit
of the case four patrolmen, Nutter,
Harms, Rudolph and Johnson, had in
vestigated the residence the night be
fore and found in the cupboard oniy
a few bottles of moonshine whisky.
N. H. Engle reported to them that he
had donated about 800 to the upkeep
of the establishment, but was unable
to contribute more.
If Mrs. Johnson didn't want to ac
cept her Christmas present, the judge
said she could post $1000 bail pending
an appeal.
iMarco Supick, said by police to be
an especially worthy case because of
his constant. activity in the city's best
bcotlegging circles, received two
Christmas presents. One was a fine
of $80 for violating the prohibition
Iciw, and the other was a fine of $100
and a jail sentence of ten days as a
reward for being unable to drive an
automobile ver well, when he was
Intoxicated.
Jail .Sentence Given.
The judge considered this last
achievement a very worthy one, for
immediately afterward, continuing his
role as Santa Claus, he gave gift cer
tificates to Nick Georgeff, recom-;
mended to his generosity for the
same reason. Nick will spend Christ
mas as a guest of the city and 19
other days in jail In addition to being
allowed to pay a fine of $100 for at
tempting to drive a machine while
intoxicated.
Stimulated by the attitude of the
court, P. X. Johnson of Salem then
appeared before the Judge and his
friends. The officers said he also de
served a present for driving while in
toxicated, and recommended him
highly. The judge lent a kindly and
interested ear to their plea and out
did himself. Johnson got 30 days in
jail and a $200 fine, a larger brace
of gifts because the officers said he
could drive a car much faster than
the others who had been remembered
previously.
Driver Fined V-'OO.
John Dedok could not enter the
race for intoxicated drivers, but was
eligible for a present In the reckless
driver class and drew a $000 fine.
The Christmas spirit prevailed
throughout the day, but other visitors
to the court were not as favored as
the drivers and moonshiners. Drunks
got $10 fines and seven-day sentences
for the most part, larger gifts than
they generally draw when they apply
to Judge Rossman. Vagrants were
given carte blanche in the Jail for a
week, which was rather exceptional,
because they are often turned away
empty handed.
Ijoggers to Have Feasts.
EUGENE, Or.. Dec. 23. (Special.)
Loggers in various camps of Lane
county will have sumptuous Christ
mas dinners, according to Frank L.
Armorage, superintendent of the
LTnited States employment bureau in
this city, who is besieged with appli
cations for pastry cooks to work in
the various camps during the holi
days. Many of the camps are too far
away from the railroads to enable
the woodsmen to come to Eugene for
the holidays and their employers are
striving to make the Tuletide season
pleasant.
