F PLAN TO TRAriSFORM CEMETERY REVIVED Lone Fir Memorial Park Issue Kept Alive. COST PRESENT PROBLEM TIIE' MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1922 U lii,. iililliii Ms Question of Using Certain Park Funds for Purpose Raised by East Side Club. Recent action of the East Side Busi ness Men's club in undertaking to keep alive the issue of the city taking over control of Lone Fir cemetery and maintaining it as a memorial park, and its request to City Commissioner Pier, in charge of parks, that he no tify it as to the status of petitions on the subject sent to the city council, have brought about definite expres sions from Mr. Pier. They have re sulted also in a new request from the club for Information as to the possi bility of using certain park funds for the proposed memorial park. In a letter to the club, dated March 30. Mr. Pier said, in "part? "I want to assure you and the peo ple you represent that I am in deep sympathy with your splendid project, which has also been, my project for many years, that this historical old cemetery be improved, brought up to a condition of beauty and given per petual care. I feel that it is oneof the most laudible projects that Port land people could undertake, and it Is my earnest hope that within rea sonable time this may be brought about. Cost $30,000 to $50,000. "The cost of . the improvement to bring this cemetery up to the condi tion that would make it a source of pride to the people of Portland, in stead of being a disgrace as it now is, "would range anywhere from $30,000 to $50,000. This money is not on hand; hence it will be necessary for us to wait until business conditions improve and the people feel justified in allowing their money to be spent tor this purpose." Regarding the removal of bodieB from the cemetery, he' says h's in vestigations have shown that there is a strong feeling against this, and that he cbnsiders this fully justifi able. The East Side Business Men's club, through its secretary, L. M. Lepper, yesterday sent a reply to Mr. F'sr, in which it spoke of the present de plorable condition of the cemetery and the motives that have inspired the club and other citizens to work for its betterment through the city taking it over. The question of finacing the proposition is then touched upon, the reply saying: "Some three years ago our com mittees worked for and carried a parks-and-playground bond issue of $500,300, out of wnicn all or tne new playgrounds have been purchased and we understand that this fund is now practically exhausted. $500,000 Held Available. "At the same election we carried a $500,000-bond issue for improvement of parks. This fund as yet is In tact, as we understand it. Or, if not. what has become of this second $600, COO which was voted for park im provements, permanent buildings, etc.? ;... We find that outside of about two comfort stations on the park blocks, nothing permanent has come from that second fund as yet. Will you kindly advise us as to just what has been done with that second $500,000 and what remains of it for ' termanent-park improvements? - "Cannot funds be taken from this park permanent-improvement fund with which to handle the Lone Fir beautification project?"

What kind of sash or belt should t rt,h tHiT An 44. weight lbu. medium height, light, bust 40, waist 81. Is the jersey clotn you onen mnuni, the same Jersey we have seen In the stores for some time ? Would Jersey be sultaoie for dress and cape? If I should have to make dress No. 1 or Diue ana iou... rather than Jade, would a dress and ca.pe o' gray Jersey do for me? Like model 25S8 in McCall's for March for cape and lined with Jade ? Would dress model 9907, page 90, in March Pictorial look well with this cape? Have a gray georgette waist I have never worn I could wear for un derwaist. Would also like to make one of same as lining of cape. Do you like apricot better than Jade with gray? Would hat of gray straw faced with color like lining of cape and underwaist of dress look well with this? Would cape of this model need embroidery of same as caper And where should I use it on dress? Will white kid gloves be worn this season? I have a white cottonseed crepe dress almost new, made with tunic over drop skirt, faced up Just under tunic with crepe, very narrow around bottom, waist plain in back, front is two pieces of embroi dered crepe with scalloped edges meeting In front, sleeves long, gathered into frill hemstitched, bottom of tunic also hem stitched. Can I combine with any other material to make a dress or shall I make into waist? Also have an almost plain waist of all over lace, butter color, a little fulness at neck and gathered Into waist band. Sleeves are in one with waist to little below shoulder, where lower part of sleeve Is gathered into wristband. Can I make any use of this the shade it is? Kindly i,ffi,o.t Tnnriei for house dress. I like a one-piece dress, also model and color for a rather heavy cotton dre"ss for home or street wear and a model and material for atia thin dress for warm days. Have asked an manv n uestf ons. but hone I shall not have to trouble you again for some time. , Your column is so delightful and help ful, I shall continue to take The Orego nian as long as you write for it- Thank ing you again In advance. MRS. B. C. S. RS. B. C. S. If . you cannot find foulard in desired shade, I would suggest Canton crepe in preference to satin. I deeply regret not having at hand the February or March McCall's. The Jersey wo now see in the store seems to be of a better ana liner quality. Yes, jersey would make up nicely in a one-piece cape suit, xes, I nrefer amMcot with gray. Because I have not at hand the February and March McCall's, I am again at a loss to answer your question relative to hat facing, cape model or embroid ery of cape or dress. White silk or fabric gloves are now worn more than kid gloves, but. of course, tne wnite Kia is mosi ami able for formal affairs. The most economical thing to do with your crepe would be to make a nice waist. If you no longer care for your laco waist as it is. it could be ayea al most any of the fashionable colors Henna, tcngerine, brown. lavender or black. For house dress I would sug gest the simple but attractive de Biirn No. 2523. page S, McCall Quar terly, and for heavy cotton dress would suggest Palm Beach cloth or r.ftin. riasiirn No. 9642. page 19. PMnrixl Snrine Quarterly. For warm days, voile, organdie or Swiss muslin are delightful and would re fer you to pages 4 and 5, Designer Quarterly, spring 1922, for desirable model. suggest colors and design to work. Fifth, I have two and one-fourth yards of cor- j duroy like sample enclosed and thought i o"' making skirt and wearing pongee shirt 1 for outing wear. Tour help will be greatly appreciated. I Are either one of the blues enclosed a Harding blue and would they go well with black? Thanking you kindly. SHBLA. Shela If you make up your well selected materials you will enjoy a most delightful summer wardrobe, and for the crepe meteor I would sug gest dress 9862, page 14, Pictorial Re view Spring Quarterly. The waist could be made shorter if necessary. Trim neck and sleeves with jade green, also buttons and girdle. Out of green voile I am quite sure you could make blouse o. 9710 or 9718, page 30, Pictorial Spring Quarterly. For your cotton crepe I would refer you to 1784, page 28, Elite Styles, May 1922. The chintz or cretonne, com bined with your crepe, would be most distinctive and becoming. Your green and pink samples would make most attractive house dresses and would advise white organdie for trimming same. I regret not having at hand a Butterick Quarterly. Your corduroy will be splendid made up into a skirt to wear with pongee waist. Neither one of your blue samples is Harding blue. Yes, they can be used with black, especially the lighter blue.

Other operators into Monroe via another route opposed the extension, along with railroad repre sentatives. The department took the nnnlication under advisement.

OOLISH Wives" furnishes an excellent example of what J- publicity will do. So much has been written about this picture that months before it came to Port land all the fans were well Informed on its cost and spectacular features. Now they are flocking to the Peoples theater to see if the million dollars spent on the production was worth while or not, "Foolish Wives" starts on its- sec ond week at the Peoples today. The picture is enjoying the same success ful run here that has marked its presentation in all the large cities of the country. The picture tells the story of g,nly one foolish wife, but she certainly is foolish enough to make up for not showing more stupid matrons. Miss du Pont, who is an attractive blonde with a nice smile and decided ability, is the wife, who finally discovers her husband is the best sort for her after all. She falls into so many perilous situations that it is only by the miracles of the plot that she is saved from the very wicked villain. Erich von Stroheim is author, di rector and villain of this production. He has no trouble at all in making the fans hate him in the role of the bogus count, but how he could keep his evil nature hidden so long is a mystery. All the elaborate sets, of which the Dress agents wrote for so many months, furnish the stupendous back grounds for the action. There are the gay scenes in Monte Carlo, bril liant night scenes, the villa, the ca sino, the Are and the storm to keep up the interest. Sigmund Romberg's musical score is being used by the Peoples orches tra, under the direction of John Britz, to interpret the picture. Hamrick has obtained from the east for this popular return here a brand new print of this picture. There are many memorable scenes in "The Birth of a Nation." The assassination of Abraham Lincoln, the surrender of General Lee to U. S. Grant, tne crisis in Washlnrton before and alter ine civil war, the south under the reign of "carpetbaggers" and many otner imnortant events in the history of the nation are depicted in this romance written by Thomas Dixon and called The Clansman. With a cast of more than 18,000 per sons, including such famous screen stars as Henry B. Walthall. Lillian Gish, Mae Marsh. Miriam Cooper, Wally Reid, George Siegman and Rob ert Harron. and with many massive scenes that In the year of 1915, when It was produced, cost more than JoflO. 000, there is little wonder that "The Birth of a Nation" is still such a great jproductlon.

Screen Gossip. "The Ruling Passion," starring George Arliss. opens at the Rivoli theater lodar for a week's run. Gus A.
