Brief Illness Results In Operation
at Portland Surgical Hospital
and Failure to Recover.
Miss Grace M. Amos, widely known
Oregon reform leader and prohibi
tionist, died early yesterday morning
at the Portland surgical hospital fol
lowing a brief illness and an opera
tion last Monday.
Miss Amos was Identified with
many reform and educational move
ments in the Pacific northwest and
was a prominent member of the pro
hibition forces, which she served as a
the Women's Christian Temperance j
union.
She was born In Cleveland, O., and
venience and necessity. Simon Met
tler's application also was denied for
the same reason and further because
he was not a good faith operator on
January 15, 1921, within the meaning
of the law, having- a court record for
violations of the city ordinances of
Bremerton governing auto buses.
Applications of K. E. Asbury and
W. W. Kelly, upon rehearirig on ap
plications to operate between Brem
erton and Charleston, were again de
nied, both having police court records
and being, therefore, not good faith
operators.
The application of W. J. McCurdy
for a certificate for passenger service
between Seattle,' Burien City, Sea
hurst and Three Tree Point was de
nied on the ground that there was no
showing of public convenience and
necessity.

SUMMER TRAVEL CHEAPER
Railroads Announce Cut in Rates
to Beach and California.
' Rates sufficiently low to encourage
beach travel are being prepared by
W. D. Skinner, vice-president and
general traffic manager of the Spo
kane, Portland & Seattle railroad.
"I do not believe our rates will be
as low as they were last season, but
they will probably reach the pre-war
level," continued Mr. Skinner. "We
desire to bring them so low that the
automobile owner will be encouraged
to leave his car In the garage and
travel to Astoria, Gearhart and Sea
side by train. If it becomes neces
sary to reduce our rates as low as
they were last year we will perhaps
do so."
Reduced round-trip fares between
Portland and southern California
points, to become effective April 28
and to continue to September 30,
have been prepared by the passenger
traffic department of the Southern
Pacific The final return limit will
be October 31.
Under the new schedule the round
trip fare between Los Angeles and
Portland will be $78.75, whereas it is
row 187.28. Heductions in like pro
portion have been made on fares be
tween Seattle, Tacoma, Vancouver,
B. C. ; Spokane and other points of
the northwest.
Women community chest workers
enlisted in the residence division of
the campaign brought $70,000 in
round numbers, into the chest. Mon
day the total was J66.382.20 and since
that time other money has come in.
This total was announced yesterday
afternoon by Mrs. C. B. Simmons,
chairman of the residence division,
at a meeting of all women workers
at Central library hall, when a re
port of the residence canvass was
made and all women participants in
the drive were thanked for their ef
festive efforts in the drive.
In addition to sincere thanks from
Mrs. Simmons for their unselfish as
sistance, a letter of thanks from
Franklin T. Griffith, president of the
community chest, was read.
"I wish to express my deep appre
ciation for your loyal work for the
chest," he wrote. "You set a stand
ard of efficiency and devotion to civic
affairs that should be emulated by
every citizen of Portland."
"I feel that this campaign has been
an example of what the women of
Portland can accomplish if they will
only work together," said Mrs. Sim
mons in voicing her appreciation.
"Two big factors, sickness and bad
weather, worked against us. Illness
in families meant that the mother
must stay at home and could not en
gage in the drive and during the first
few days of the campaign, wlien the
cold east wind blew, we must have
lost thousands of dollars because
people hesitated to open their doors
and closed them again quickly, many
times in the faces of our workers."
Mrs. Simmons reported that approX'
imately 8000 persons gave to the SO'
licitors of the residence division. The
total subscribed by dwellers in apart
ment houses of the city was J5272.31.
Mrs. J. F. Chapman, vice-chairman
of the residence division in charge of
the east side canvass, reported for
that district, and Mrs. Dallas Bache,
vice-chairman, reported for Mrs. Mil
ton E. Kahn, chairman of the west
side, who was unable to be present.
Experiences of women actively in
the canvass followed when workers
told of interesting things that came
to their notice.
FIRE DRILLS ARE PRAISED
Benefit of Work of Harry Coffin
Demonstrated by Fire.
The benefit of the work by Harry
P. Coffin, secretary of the safety'
first commission, in conducting fire
drills in schools for many years, was
received Tuesday when the Holla-
day school building was emptied' in
45 seconds while the building was
abjaze, according to E. J. Jaeger, who
was a member of the safety-first
commission.
Jay Stevens, ex-fire marshal of
Portland and now in charge of the
fire prevention bureau of the under
writers' association, advocated fire
drills in public schools many years
ago, and the training of the pupils
was undertaken by the commission.
Mr. Coffin, accompanied by business
men, would visit a school building
and without previous announcement
would sound a fire alarm, with the
result that pupils in practically all of
Portland schools became accustomed
to walking in an orderly fashion out
the building in response to a fire
alarm.

The Electrical "How
.for The Householder
You will enjoy our new booklet
which describes how some of these
materials and appliances are
used in the course of a typical
day in an electrified home. It
may be obtained free from any
electrical contractor or dealer
displaying this seal.
EVERYBODY knows what elec
tricity means to modern living.
Yet most people have positively
failed to get the full value of electri
cal service.
Failed because they have not
realized the importance of , the orig
inal installation.
Most housewives have - been too
easily satisfied. They, push the
button, see the lights come on and
think they are getting electrical ser
vice. They disregard workmanship,
materials and the completeness of
the installation upon which depends
all future service.
The time to think about your
electrical service is when you build,
buy or rent a house. Be sure then
that the contractor who makes the
installation works on the following
principles: ; (A.) To employ good
workmanship. (B.) To use none but
standard materials. (C) To charge
fair prices.
A fair price bid is based upon
good workmanship and standard
materials. When - the bid is too'
low there must' be inferior materials
and poor workmanship to make up
for it.
The difference in the bid of the
qualified, responsible electrical con
tractor and the irresponsible is
usually only- about one-half of one
per cent (350.00 on a $10,000.00
house).
He who thinks that $50.00 worth
saving will eventually spend five
times as much in repairing faulty
material and workmanship or in-

stalling additional outlets whose
. omission made that lower bid pos
sible. Knowing that the future of the
electrical industry depends upon the
quality and economy of the service
delivered, the Pacific States Electric
Company the largest distributors
of electrical materials and appliances
on the Pacific Coast has taken
definite steps to safeguard the house
holder by providing a means of
identification for standard electrical
merchandise and qualified contrac
tors and dealers.
Every item of installation material
and every appliance distributed by
the Pacific States Electric Company
is inspected and certified by us
and bears the seal reproduced
below.
These products, chosen from the
markets of the world, are nationally
advertised and known to be stand
ard. They are guaranteed by such
manufacturers as General Electric
Company, Edison Electric Appliance
Company, and others of equal stand
ing. Finally, they are inspected
and identified with our seal as the
mark of good faith upon which we
have developed our commercial
status.
Contractors and dealers of estab- .
lished responsibility and who employ
good workmanship can secure the
standard material bearing our mark.
Hence the Pacific States Electric
Company seal helps to identify
both qualified, dependable contrac
tors and dealers and the standard
electrical merchandise they selL
