THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1922 11, H. PIER TD RETIRE PRIVATE LIFE I" IU Finance Commissioner Not to Seek Re-election. WORK FOUND PLEASANT Son Declared Capable, but No An nouncement Concerning Can didacy Is Made. S. C. Pier, commissioner of fi nance, will not be a candidate for re-election at the November election. This announcement was authorized by Commissioner Pier yesterday. Private affairs of Mr. Pier have been neglected of late, he states. and need greater attention and this is the reason he is planning to re tire to private life. Mr. Pier said that while he knew his son. Stanhope Pier, was seri ouslv considering being a candi date for city commissioner at the fall election, he had not discussed the matter with him, and therefore could make no announcement con cerning his son. Son Declared Capable. On this subject, however. Com missioner Pier said that his son, StanhoDe. was a capable man, a deep thinker and one who, if elected. as city commissioner wouia oe cer tain to be a success. "My work as city commissioner has been very pleasant," said Mr. Pier. "I have never enjoyed any thing quite as much as the work at the city hall and the associations that one encounters in the daily routine of a city commissioner. "For a time I felt that it would be necessary for me to give more time and attention to my private affairs, because I have been forced to neg lect them considerably since enter ing the city service. Decision Is Reversed. "But the work with the city has been bo delightful that finally I decided that I would not retire at this time, voluntarily at least, and that I would be a candidate for re-election. "But during the last month I have been considering the question seri ously, and I have found that my personal affairs are in such shape that I must devote some time to them. "For that reason I have definitely decided not to be a candidate for re-election at the November elec tion. When I retire on July 1, 1923, I will divide my time between my private affairs and - travels with Mrs. Pier." Mr. Blsrelow Undecided. City Commissioner Bigelow, whose term as commissioner expires at the same time as that of Commis sioner Pier, is still in doubt as to whether or not he will be a can didate. However, it is generally believed that he will seek re-election and his announcment to this effect will not come as a surprise. Mr. Bigelow has been in the city service as councilman and commis sioner, for nine years. He is now president of the council and in charge of the department of public affairs. iously interfere with the work and greatly handicap the growth of the church. "Second The denominational leaders with whom I talked insisted that I was under obligation to help them realize plans that I helped them formulate and toward whose realization I had solemnly pledged myself.' "'Third Assuming that I could be elected, I have been led to see that it would be a grave mistake for me to change my vocation. For the ministry I was trained and in the ministry I must continue to exercise what few talents I have. "I realize the great honor you did me in tendering this nomination. If I can do anything to educate the people in their political privileges and duties and to aid in solving the urgent and menacing problems of the hour I will rejoice in the oppor tunity to co-operate with you and your associates." FILM TO SHOW MPS SCEXES IX OREGON FOREST DISTRICTS SNAPPED. HB-H'ELVEEH EMS REASONS GIVEX FOR DECLIN ING NOMINATION. Portland Minister, Asked to Enter Congressional Race, Says He Is Bound to Church. Dr. "William T. McElveen, pastor of the First Congregational church of this city, who was proffered the independent party nomination as a candidate for representative in congress for the third Oregon dis trict at a meeting in Library hall last Wednesday evening, yesterday explained to his constituents why he could not accept their nomina tion. Duty, he said, obliges him to re main in his present capacity as minister and he is bound to fulfill obligations to which he is pledged by officers of his church. In a letter to H. P. Lee, secretary of the assembly of electors of th independent party, Dr. McElveen gave his reasons for declining as follows: "Words seem to me very clumsy tnings witn which to express my heartrelt gratitude to you and your colleagues who gave of your time and strength to call a convention at which was duly voted the nomi nation of myself as a candidate for representative in congress for the third congressional district of Ore gon. I very keenly appreciate the friendly words and the loyal pledges with which your committee tendered me that nomination. "But several considerations lead me respectfully to decline a can didacy for that high responsibility. Let me briefly state them: "First The consensus of opinion of officers and members of the First Congregational church with whom I had opportunity to confer was that it was my duty to remain in the pastorate of that church, and that my participation in a political campaign at this time would ser Government Party In Airplane Take Views of Mount Hood for "Red Enemy." Moving pictures are the latest means adopted by the United States forest service for educating the pub lic on the 'forest fire hazards and the best methods and devices against spread of fire. Two representatives of the moving picture department of the department of agriculture have been working in co-operation with the officials of the forest service from this district in filming scenes for a picture to be entitled "Red Enemy," which will be shown throughout the United States by the forest service. Fred W. Perkins heads the party of cinematographers which has been working in the Mount Hood and Lost lake districts photograph ing scenes for the film. Yesterday Mr. Perkins, with his companion photographer, made a flight in " a government plane around Mount Hood taking views of the peak. In the afternoon, the two photog raphers, John D. Guthrie, examiner in the department or puDlic rela tions of the forest service, and C. S. Chapman of the Western Forestry and Conservation association set out together for a climb of Mount Hood to get further scenes. They par ticularly want to get a view of the lookout station atop Mount Hood to figure in the picture. 'Red Enemy Is to be no ordinary educational picture, but is to be wound together with a plot mak ing an interesting story. It is also to be full of illustrations of Oregon's scenic wonders with many various views of Mount Hood taken from Lost lake,' from the air, and other locations. Logging and milling scenes are to be worKea into tne story. Later the party will go to Clatsop county to get pictures of the logging industry and of timber scenes. When work on the picture is concluded the photographers will go to British Columbia to get pictures of white pine blister rust. The Home in Good Taste.

Roller-window shades or blinds are not meant to be pulled half-way down to show the outside world that the house is equipped with them Used in this way they are simply objects of useless display. They have a useful purpose and should be used for that purpose, for which they were intended. That purpose is distinctly utilitarian and not dec orative. They are meant to be pulled down at night when the lights inside are lighted, to keep the outside world from looking in, or pulled down during the day when the glare of the sun is too strong. When a win dow Is equipped with curtains and hangings there is usually little need to pull down the -shade. When there are no hangings it may be necessary to pull the blinds part-way down. Most houses would be better for more daylight than is generally let into them. It is a mistake from a decorative point of view to think that a shade should be kept half-way down where so many people keep it. Roll it up out of sight, ready for use, however, when it is really needed. White or cream-colored shades are commonly preferable to those of darker color. The "Venetian blind has a genuine decorative value and its slats are conveniently adjustable at any angle. It is much more expensive than the roller shade, but it lasts from generation to generation. SCHOOL SITES COME UP Petition Before City Council Will Be Considered Tomorrow. Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock the city commissioners will take up the matter of the petition filed by the school board for the vacating of the streets adjoining East Eighth and Clackamas streets. The school board has filed a petition to this effect and has taken an option for the purchase of the desired property. but objections have arisen from Michael G. Munly, who has instituted action to stop the procedure of the school board. Last Friday night a meeting was held by residents of the Holladay school district for consideration of the vacation proceedings for the en largement of the Holladay school properties.

" ' WHEAT IS UNHARVESTED Spring Crop iii Haines District Still Standing in Field. HAINES, Or., Sept. 11. (Special.) On account of late planting much of the spring wheat in this section remains standing in the fields. The fall wheat and dry land crops, while held back by the late spring, for the most part have been harvested and much of the crop has been threshed and stored in warehouses. Dry land wheat has. not made yields of more than half the quantities usually se cured from these lands. On the ir rigated farms west of the city the wheat and oats yields promise to be up to the average, some fields making nearly 50 bushels . to the acre. The threshing season in the heavier wheatyielding sections has scarcely begun. ' GAS MASK USED AGAIN Plumber Dons Wartime Protector to Fix Ice Machine. HERMISTON, Or., Sept. 11. (Spe cial.)
