FLYING SQUADRON
OPENS CHEST DRIVE
TO
That Portland' Community Chest
campaign la just over the horlson was
made more apparent yesterday by the
kick-off meeting of the flying squad
ron at the Chamber of Commerce In
the afternoon. The name of this par
ticular division Is somewhat misleading-,
since It contains many of the
biggest business and financial heads
In all Portland. .
The flying; squadron will set away
to a running1 start next Monday
morning-, bright and early. It starts
Its work one week ahead of the gen
eral campaign, the opening gun of
which will be fired Monday morning,
January 30. The flying squadron has
so systematized Its work that It ex
pects to close up everything next
week and plans are to be entirely out
of the way when the general cam
paign committee combs the city for
chest subscriptions.
Big Subscriptions Soaght.
The flying squadron will cast Its
not over the city for big subscriptions
only. The meshes of this net are so
big that anything less than a $500
subscription will not be caught In It.
All else will be left to the general
and larger campaign committee.
Although $500 Is the minimum.
there Is no maximum. Those large of
heart and purse may give as much as
their generous Impulses direct. Some
of these contributions will be very
large and the efficiency of the flying
squadron will be reflected at the end
of its work by a most Imposing total.
The squadron Is headed by the follow
ing committee: Franklin T. Griffith,
chairman; John Hartog adjutant; Ben
Selling, W. M. Ladd. D. A. Fattullo,
V. K. Larimer, secretary.
Meeting Is Businesslike.
The meeting yesterday afternoon
was strictly businesslike. Chairman
Griffith presided and Adjutant Har
tog and Secretary Larimer Juggled
cards of all the prospects on the
squadron's list. Through their fingers
passed potential fortunes, for each
card represented firms and Individ
uals of large means whose subscrip
tions to the chest will naturally run
Into big figures.
It Is the task of the squadron to
materialize these potentialities and
to bring Jingling Into the chest the
subscriptions these names represent.
The cards were assigned to squadron
members for personal solicitation and
tbe meeting set itself to Its task with
an evident spirit of determination
joined with enthusiasm.
Report Dae on Monday.
The squadron will report to Chalr
.man Griffith next Monday noon at
luncheon In the gold room of the
Multnomah hotel and dally luncheons
will be held there regularly through
out the week.
In addition to the committee at Its
head, the squadron comprises the fol

After the war Colonel Weidler

Mrs. J. F. Chapman, East Side
Chairman, Says Nobody to Go
Into Stricken District.
Lents has the smallpox. No one
knows this so well as MsS. J. F.
Chapman, chairman for the east side
of the womens division I uie com
munity chest drive.
"If anyone saysi 'smallpox' to me
again I think I shall explode!" she
exclaimed as she hung up the re
ceiver after the 20th consecutive
woman had refused to be a worker
for the coming community chest
drive in that stricken district. "I
have heen successfully vaccinated
myself." she continued, '"but I
wouldn't be one bit surprised if I
contracted it through the telephone
Ju9t then J. C. Henderson, pur
chasing agent for the chest drive,
came In with a new bright orange
1922 auto license protruding from his
pocket.
"Mrs. Chapman, I have something
for you," he began.
One glance at the placard. Which
In color la very like the smallpox
quarantine card, was enough for Mrs.
Chapmna.
"For pity's sake!" she exclaimed,
"I had no idea the health office
worked so fast."
For the first time in the history
of Multnomah county, the names of
women were drawn for Jury duty
yesterday when the circuit court panel
for February was selected before
Presiding Judge Tucker. 'Out of 300
names drawn, 3 M were of women and
146 were of men. Indications were
that a large percentage of the women
picked will not serve, for Jury duty Is
not compulsory with the feminine sex
and simple to escape..
From a large box in which were
deposited 2500 cards, each bearing
the name of a prospective Juror for
1922. Lou Harlow, chief court deputy
county clerk, drew the February list.
The first name drawn was that of
Oscar Olsen, 408 East Fiftieth street.
Second Name That of Woman. .
The second name and the first
woman to be drawn was Ma. Nettie
D. Olson, housewife, 640 East Fifty-
second street north. The third and
fourth names also were of women
Mrs. Emma Purvlne, housewife, 575
Weidler, and Mrs. Dorothea M. Darl
ing, housewife, 1256 East Taylor.
Before the name of a "Miss" was
selected, the following other women's
cards were picked: Mrs. Barbar E.
Shandler, housewife, 2S7 East Thirty
fifth; Mrs. Anne E. Zlegler, house
wife, 629 East Twentieth street north;
VI rs. Maude Oliver, 256 Eleventh street;
Mrs. M. Anna Shearer, housewife. 625
Going, and Mrs. Margaret Washburn,
housewife, 725 East Fifty-ninth street
lorth. '
Miss Getta R. Wasserman, well-
known insurance and publicity ex
pert, of 54 King street north, was the
first unmarried woman whose name
was drawn.
Many Women Not Inclined.
The new jury panel will begin its
duties on February 6. By telephone,
numbers of the prospective women
jurors were Interviewed with the
almost invariable reply that they did
not think they would care to serve
on the Juries. There were babies, hus
bands. Illness and plain dislike for tbe
task offered as excuses. A few as
serted that they believed it their duty
to serve and said that they would do
so if possible.
Under the law it Is a simple mat
ter for a woman to evade Jury duty.
With the notices going out to the
women whose names are drawn, a
card Is enclosed with which the county
cjerk . Is to be notified in case re
cipient does not care to serve.

Unless coal Is received by the dealers

STORY IS CORRECTED
Friends of Family of Late J. H.
Smith Point Out Inaccuracies.
Friend's of the family of the late
J. H. Smith, railroad contractor, and
builder of the large residence on the
crown of Mount Tabor, have called
The Oregonlan's attention to Inac
curacies Jn the artfele In yesterday's
Issue, telling of the razing of the
old huse by tbe park department.
The formation given In the article
was obtained from a person believed
to know the history of Mr. Smith,
but who. It transpires, was misin
formed on several points of Import
ance. In Justice to those directly in
terested, the following resume of the
facts, as given by them, are pub
lished. The hjuse was built in 1SS9, and
with Its outbuildings, water supply,
etc., cost $40,000. It was built for a
home for the younger members of the
family of Mr. Smith's sister, she hav
ing l!ed shortly before.
It Is denied that Mrs. Smith com
mitted suicide, but It is said that she
died a natural death, and was under
the care of Dr. Botkin. then of Mount
Tabor, but now of Gresham.
That Mr. Smith was ever' "down
and out" was also denied, as those
who were his close associates at that
period state that although he lost the
Mount Tabor property by foreclosure,
he at that time owned much other
property, and his services as a rail
rood contractor were always In de
mand. He died In Fallon, Nev.,, No
vember, 1905. and his remains were
brought to Portland and interred in
Lone Fir cemetery.
Although born In England, Mr.
Smith came to America when but 16,
and he was a naturalized American
citizen. He raised the four younger
members of his sister's family ac
cording to the best American tradi
tions, sending the three boys to Tale j
and the girl to Mills college. The
youngest boy. Samuel P. Brooke, died
In the service of the United States
and his body lies In the cemetery at
the Presidio. San Francisco.
Mr. Smith was widely known for
his railroad construction work, and
was considered a genius in that line.
When he built the home on Mount
Tabor, he constructed the drives up
the hill, and it is a testimony to his
engineering skill that they have
never been changed.
NEW CHURCH PLANNED
Millard Avenue Presbyterian Home
Is Found Inadequate.
Because of the constant growth in
membership and attendance of the
Millard Avenue Presbyterian church.
In the Mount Scott district, under
the pastorate of Rev. Henry White,
the present building has been found
inadequate, and it Is proposed to
purchase a new site and erect a com
modious house of worship and quar
ters for neighborhood activities.
Subscriptions are now being taken
for a fund to purchase a tract of five
lots in the neighborhood of the pres
ent church, on which it is proposed
to erect a manse and church building.
The extension committee of the Port
land presbytery Is to aid financially
In both the purchase of the lots and
tbe erection of the buildings.
Mr. White began his pastorate in
this church the first of January ot
last year with 74 members. The
membership is now 126 and all de
partments of church work have
shown a like substantial growth.
