N OFFICIAL ACTION BEGUN Conference Held With Acting' 3Iayor Bigelow and Ordinance Is Ordered Prepared. r legislation directed against so called suit clubs now operating in Portland, as well as itinerant mer chants who are disposing of hosiery and selverware by house-to-house canvass, will be drafted at once by City Attorney Grant and submitted to the city council for its con sideration. Decision to take some effective steps against this class of mer chandising was made at a confer ence hold in the office of Acting IWayor Bigelow yesterday, attended by K. S. Irwin, president of the Merchant Tailors Association of the Pacific Coast; D. E. Bowman, presi dent of the Retail Clothiers Asso ciation of Oregon and Frank P. Tebbetts, manager of the Better Business bureau; Joe Hutchinson, license inspector, and City Attorney (Grant. Promises Held Violated. II aeverai weeKS ago jisirici Aiior Tiey Myers directed the Hayes Tai- r Joring company to discontinue tak m fn? ti v nrripra It Mnlf nnmflh rnn n tv for suits on the "club plan. Per mission was given the company, however, to continue collection on contracts already made with the provision that suits be delivered, according to contract. Mr. Tebbetts produced three af fidavits from holders of cards in the Hayes' suit club, eateh of which charged that the solicitor promised a suit wthin one, two or three weeks, but in each case the promise vis not carried out. Mr. Irwin produced figures which lie said he received from the Hayes Tailoring company, which purported to show that the coat of each suit cost $13, the trousers $3, the vest 3, trimmings $4, materials $10 and salesmanship - $10, or a total f $43 for each suit, with no pro vision for overhead. "I have information that it costs the Hayes Tailoring company closer to $20 a suit for salesmanship, which would bring the cost of the uit to a price greater than the con tract price, which is $48," said Mr. Jrwin. "For instance, there- is one sales man in the employ of thj company who is the promoter of the5 scheme. I am told that he receives $9 com mission on each order that he brings In and $1 for every order that the other agents bring in and' in addi tion has a contract for a bonus of $1000 payable at the rate of $100 a week. The other agents, I am told, receive $8 an order, commission. "Any person who has investi gated the suit-club business, which is nothing more nor less than a lot tery and has been so defined by the courts, knows that for every 100 contracts signed up but 70 per cent er thereabouts continue after the second week and still more drop out after the third and fourth week. The agents or salesmen, however, are paid commissions on these orders and as a result the company Is paying out money that it never can collect." Risk Declared Run. Mr. Irwin suggested that some method be worked out so that all persons who have entered into con tracts with the Hayes Tailoring company on the suit-club plan, and It was estimated by Mr. Irwin that there are about 1200 contracts in existence in the, city of Portland, be given the right to receive mer chandise to the extent of the money that has been paid in. "To allow the company to con tinue Its collections is running a risk of having the promoters of this scheme dropping out of sight before the final payments are made," said Mr. Irwin. "There should be some protection for the persons who have paid in their money. If it is true that the company has 1200 con tracts, that means that the com pany is collecting $2400 a week." Acting Mayor Bigelow said that lie had endeavored for years to find eome means of preventing this class of merchants from operating in Portland. He held that not only should the suit club operators be driven out of the city, but some action should also be taken against the solicitors who take orders for hosiery, collecting a sum at the time the order is taken and the balance being collected on delivery. "This business is one that is al ways the cause of worry to the li cense division," said Mr. Bigelow. When the merchandise is delivered and found to be defective the sales man cannot be located and it is im possible to obtain adjustment from the factory." . g United States Army Photo, From Underwood & Underwood.

UNIONS TO BE WELCOME Railroad Head Says Organization of Men Is Approved. That the Spokane, Portland & Se attle Railway company will welcome the organization of its shopmen, re cently employed to take the place of strikers, into unions, although the word "association" is employed in a notice to all employes of the me chanical department of the railway, was the announcement of W. F. Turner, president of the line, Tues day. Mr. Turner said steps have been taken for the organization of such an association of workmen, but the thought remained in the minds of I some of the newly employed men m xtiat me company wuuiu iiuu wel come such action.

EUTRALi colors are so named be cause they are neither warm and advancing nor cool and reced- ng. In other words, the warm or ad vancing elements and the cool or receding elements ' are evenly bal anced in their make-up. Thus, for example, a pure green, exactly one- half yellow, which is warm or ao- vancing, and exactly one-nan Diue, which is' cool or receding, is neutral. Also, a pure violet, exactly one-half red and one-half blue, is neutral. Such colors seem neither to come toward yon nor to go away from you. Many neutral colors mat are composed, of a large number or mixed elements are of a dull hue, such as some of the grays and drabs. By no means all dull colors, how ever, are neutral. Russet, for in stance, is advancing because the amount of red and orange in its make-up far outbalances the blue element. One of the most useful qualities of neutral colors is that other colors may be placed against them with out clashing. This makes them valuable as backgrounds that can easily be managed. The grays in general, although many of them are not strictly speaking neutral in their composition, commonly possess neutral qualities. Neutral-colored walls do not b? em to come together toward you. Their tendency, if any thing, is to increase apparent size. By Helen Decie IT IS quite true that present-day fashions appear to be designed exclusively for slim young girls. A woman who is not as slender as a reed and who does not wish to make herself conspicuous by wearing out dated styles may become even more grotesque by adopting the too-juve-hile raiment- and coiffure which serve to accentuate her years and her size. ' A middle-agd or elderly woman who is 60 pounds or more over nor mal weight makes herself ridicu lous when she wears the costume and the curls of a flapper, as some style slaves of grand-maternal age have been uglifying themselves by doing all through the now-passing knee-skirt and bobbed-hair craze. "When Helen of Troy has become Helen of Avoirdupois" her keynote of good taste In dress should be dignified simplicity rather than the bizarre frivolity which is becoming only to the blossom years of girlhood.

McClur. ex-captain in the avia tion service, charged in a federal indictment with forgery, was or dered yesterday by Federal Judge Bean in instructions to Deputy United States District Attorney Veatch. Captain McClurg had been under indictment for a year, and the action of the court is held to effect his com; lete exoneration. The association of Captain Mc Clurg with the Dudrey Aircraft company led to his predicament, it Is said. According to Deputy Veatch, this concen in reality was a boot legging enterprise, a fact of which the aviat" was unaware when he entered its employ as a pilot. The company failed and left Captain McClurg to face its creditors and with a deficit in his own salary. He cashed a check sent to the company, applied a portion of it to his own account and used the remainder to defray outstanding obligations, with the result that his employers charged him with forgery.' C. L. Dudrey and Oscar Lund, partners in the aircraft corporation, are now serving prison terms at San Diego. FREE CHURCH IS MERGED Independent Organization Joins Congregational Denomination.

Foods that are "short" in nourishing value and "long" in waste are never economic. The food, Grape-Nuts, is economical to the fast serving in the package, because every golden-crisp granule really contributes to body-building. Grape-Nuts offers the sturdy nutriment of wheat and malted barley in unusually compact form a comparatively small amount providing exceptional nourishment. The 12 ounce package contains about 16 servings costing about one cent each. Every bit of Grape-Nuts is real food, uniquely free from the bulky waste found in many other food products. Made from whole wneat flour and malted barley, Grape Nuts has the benefit of 20 hours baking which so modifies the starch of these grains that easy digestibility naturally results. . ' Eaten with good milk or cream, Grape-Nuts is a complete food, which creates energy without taking away energy. And the gradual, daily accumulation of power is the greatest of all food economies, sinte reserve energy is what counts most, either in the sudden emergency or the long grind. A food for economy a food for health! And a food with a charm of flavor all its own.
