NEW JUDGE RELEASES DRUNK SO HE CAN WORK FOR FAMILY "Say, That Feller's Got a Heart Jus' Like Judge Rossman," Comments . Dan McGinnity, North End "Hooch Hound." ACHIEVEMENTS OP ORGANIZA TION ARE REVIEWED. ( S' .1EP0RT IS STARTLING Work of Portland Library Forging Ahead Rapidly, '.. Miss Mul heron Tells Board. Not all the brave men in this coun try are dead, according to a report read to members of the Portland library board last night by-Mi.se Anne Mul heron. chief librarian.' She startled the dignified guardians of literature by announcing that a prisoner in the county Jail, becoming intensely inter ested In books, had just tackled the job of reading through the Encyclo pedia Britannica. "Is he a life-termer?" queried Rabbi Jonah B. Wise, a member of the board, after the laughter. died down. "He's in earnest about his reading," said Mis9 Mulheron. "He'll have to be, if he finishes what he. has begun," suggested W. I Brewster, another member. Wide Circulation Shown. All of the members present were agreed that the incident shows how widely circulated are the library books and. Incidentally, into what queer places they go. Thus it was shown that in this day of flappers, rouge, lip sticks, short skirts, rolled stockings and what not the wheels of sound progress are still in motion, notwithstanding the outcries of the ardent shock troop reformers who would "regulate" everything. TVhile the flappers may be getting more publicity as a rule, the work of j the library is forging ahead rapidly, according to the report of Miss Mul heron, and the cry is for more books, especially classics. Demand for good reference works is so strong from utlying branches like Arleta that the main library Is unable to fill the re quests. "Give a book week," now on, it was reported by Mr. Brewster, has proved a success thus far, approxi mately 1000 volumes having been contributed, with many more in prospect. Among these, it was said, are numbers of excellent ones just what are needed so urgently right now. Lasting; Results Anticipated. "I believe this book week will bring to the library lasting results," said Mr. Brewster. "We must not ex pect people to contribute all of their surplus volumes -immediately. We shall. I think, be getting books for a long time as a direct result of the publicity we have received in this drive." That people are reading better books and that fiction is not pre dominant was shown in statements Drougnt out by a remark of Rufus C. Holman, a member of the board, who said he had always had a theory that if there was a restriction upon fiction there would of course be less of this class taken out and there would be more opportunity to use funds for books of reference. Miss Mulheron said that the records disclose a large demand for such fic tion as "When Winter Comes," but not as strong a demand for "such a book as "Main Street'," which it was plain she was not highly indorsing. "Why the remark on 'Main Street'?" quej-ied Dr. Wise with a smile. "I like it." "I read it half way through and quit in disgust," commented Amedee II. Smith, who attended this meeting as his first since being elected a member. Writing: Table Wanted. There is a considerable demand for a writing table, Miss Mulheron re ported. She recommended and) the board acceded, that a table with libra ry stationery be placed where the pioneer statue now stands. This will be a new feature here, although 'n ome cities it has been tried with great success and not a few libraries Jiave an entire room devoted to it. "The system will be self-sustaining, it was explained, by means of sale of paper and envelopes. Members of the board gave some time to reading and considering sug gested letters, to be sent to various Individuals with the object in view of obtaining bequests to the library. "These will be mailed, with form of be quest, to thos who are by reason of their positions, such as lawyers, min isters and the like, often called upon by clients for advice as to where a SJft could be placed) to do much good. "In the last report of the year's "bequests to libraries in this conntrv" said Chairman MacNaughton, "there were many large gifts. We have not cultivated this field as some have and, as a result, Portland was conspicuous iby Its absence on the bequest lists." AT, that feller's got a heart jus' like Judge Rossman." It was Dan McGinnity, north end "hooch hound," who spoke, and Dan sure ought to know. Dan was on one of his periodical trips to police court for the same old offense too much moonshine. And he didn't quite like the idea of facing the new police judge, William A. EkwalL Dan started to expostulate after the arresting officer had spoken his little piece, but Judge Ekwall, swinging into action like he'd been born to the bench, cut him short. "Five days," was the decree. But later when the new police judge learned there were five little McGin nitys who might go without food if the father were forced to lay in jail the remainder of the week, Judge Ekwall relented. Judge Ekwall learned that McGin nity's job was still open for him pro viding he got to work at once. A few " minutes later the Jail doors swung open, with McGinnity head ing job-ward with a prayer on his lips and a promise to keep faith with the new judge just as long as he could. Arso Yonovich,. cave-man lover, who drove his flivver with one hand Sunday while he employed the other in blacking the eyes of his companion, Mrs. Elonore Runke, was one of the first to get a Jolt from the new jurist. He was fined $20 for dlsor- I derly conduct, while Mrs. Runke was told; to contribute 5 for being drunk. An elopement which had its start at Mill City, Or., and which was pro gressing nicely in Portland was quickly shattered when Judge Ek wall sent the man to Jail for 10 days and ordered the woman to return to her husband and children at Mill City. The transgressors were William Christie and Mrs. Gertrude Hassler, both of whom have families in the little mill town. They eloped a couple of weeks ago and came to Portland, where they were living as husband and wife when the police broke up the illicit romance. The erring couple received a sound lec ture, while Christie received the jail sentence in order to separate him from the woman. The fact that both have young children saved them from facing a more serious charge. George Evans has about decided there's nothing to be gained by start ing a fight in a Chinese restaurant. Early Sunday morning he got "hard boiled" In the China Inn, Broadway and Morrison street, and started to clean up on the oriental proprietor. He was stopped by little Helen Ding, Chinese cashier, who held him pris oner at the point of a toy pistol until police arrived to place him under arrest. In police court Monday Evans ad mitted he was entirely at fault, and quickly pleaded guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct. Judge Ekwall added to his misery when he plas tered him with a $25 fine. George Holloday is going to think twice after this before he picks up with stray acquaintances and offers to get them a little nip of "moon. Holloday had quite a few under his belt when he approached Vigilante No. 49 of the mayor's special police force and Invited him to partake of some of the "white mule" in a soft drink place near First and Madison streets. Then, after the vigilante had procured the desired evidence, he flashed his ' badge of authority and placed Holloday under arrest. Hollo day wanted to argue, and tried to. start a fight. He admitted he was all wrcng when he showed up before Judge Ekwall and paid $10 as his educational fee. H REPRESENTATIVE FROM MULT NOMAH COUNTS IS GOAIi. Official Announcement of Candi dacy Filed; Present ' Motor Ve hicle License Law Held Unjust. Charles C.

The contention Is over whether or not it should be built on the bluff or below. The city council recently granted a request to place before the voters the question of purchasing a tract on the hill. The Live Wires' measure is to counteract this movement. BIRD EXHIBITS FOUGHT Humane Society Considers Steps If Firms Continue Practice. Steps toward stopping the use of young ducks and chickens as win dow displays by firms that desire to call the attention of prospective buyers to their Easter Sunday offer ings, will be taken by the Oregon Humane society, according to Mrs. P. W. Swanton, general manager of the society. It would not be so bad, declared Mrs. Swanton, if the firms would stop at the use of the small animals for window displays, but several of the firms are selling the chicks and ducks to their customers to be used as playthings for their children. A young duck or chicken, while it may afford a few hours' pleasure to some child is usually killed by the rough handling and it is for that reason the Humane Society is attempting to curb the sale of the small feathered fowl. Norman F. Coleman Speaks at Gathering of Public Health In stitute at Library. Social hygiene was the topic of last night's session of the public health institute at central library hall. The Oregon Social Hygiene society had charge of the programme, its presi dent, Norman F. Coleman, making an introductory address. The general policy of the society during the last ten years, he said, had been to promote sex education and to foster and encourage habits of health and prevent bad habits of public and private conduct that lead to social disease. The money Oregon people have been spending along thi line of endeavor, he believed, had brought returns in information and education. That the work of the- society had proved to be a shock absorber that guards against untoward social con ditions was the thought of S. C. Kohs, psychologist for the court of domes tic relations, who told of the psycho logical-aspects of social hygiene. He spoke of social control of fundamental tendencies and impulses of mankind and of the inhibitions necessary to actions of man as a social creature. The value of sex education and its place In the schools was discussed by Henry M. Grant, executive secre tarv of the society. "We have given our young no train ing on how to make a home," he said. "The task of the school, too, is to give our children respect for life in all its aspects. One advance toward higher stand ards of civilization was cited by the speaker in that the objectionable story was said to be disappearing and the community atmosphere to be changing rapidly for the better. ! street from Fourteenth to Sixteenth streets, lots in Portland proper.
