TOUR LASTS 50 WEEKS
riraMnt Journey to Old World and
Foreign Capitals Described.
odT- Roads Landed Ball
Ran Water Missed.
Mr. and Mrs. I. N. Llpman returned
last night from a trip to Kurope and
axe again at their borne at III Warns
street, where they were greeted by
members of their families and friends
with a home-coming party. Their trip
occupied a year lacking two weeks.
"Railing from New York on ths
farmanla, our first stop was made at
Gibraltar." said Mr. Llpman. "and then
In succession we visited Algiers. Vlelle,
France, Naples and from Cairo took a
trip up the Nile. I had no deilnlte
plans of travel and stopped at every
point as Ions; as we found It pleasura
ble. Athens appealed to me as the
original center of art and culture and
we have yet to learn from that city
as the best we bar today originated
there.
-Several months were devoted to the
Mediterranean and Adriatic cities. Then
we went to Paris and London and back
act In to the Continent. Later we
visited the principal cities of Oerraany.
Aastrta-Hnngary. Holland and Belgium,
having, of course, to return to Paris
and London.
Flaw Reeida ST .
"Everywhere I was particularly Im
pressed with the rood roada and never
before did I appreciate what an asset
they are for a country. In every
European country a farmer can readily
drive miles to the cities to sell his
products direct and return wltb bis
purchases, being1 Independent of ail
transportation companies.
-American workmen may be better
paid la tbla country than any other, but
there the comfort of workmen and that
of their families la considered of para
mount Importance. In every city and
town there are playgrounds for the
children and their parents have beauti
ful parka In which excellent muslo Is
played In the evenings and holidays for
their enjoyment. This attention to
their amusement and entertainment
large compensates for the lower
wages, as It keeps them entertained
and happy with their surroundings.
Oregwa Apple Seen Abroad.
"X found tbat Hood River applea
are known the world over, but where
Hood River la could be described by
few except as a place In America and
similar hasy Ideaa are held of the gen
eral location Of places In this country.
All American manufactured articles' are
taken kindly too. especially our shoes,
and the sale ef our products abroad
1s Increasing very rapidly.
-There waa one thing that I could
not forget, aa It was brought to my
attention daily. It was Bull Run
water. I really believe that If one of
the European cities bad such a supply
of It as we have it would become
world-f.roou. and people would travel
from this country to drink It."

GAZE ON FESTIVAL
Pathe Freres, Great Film Man
ufacturers, Want Views.
FIRM ASKS ABOUT FETE
President Ilort UnabI to Give Defi
nite Answer Owing to Uncertainty
Regarding Celebration Duo
to Lack of Funds.
Gratifying recognition of the fact
that the Rose Festival Portland's
distinctive annual fete of flowers has
become an event of great National Im
portance was received by the manage
ment yesterday. It came In the form
of a letter of Inquiry from Fathe
Freres, one of the world's leading moving-picture
concerns, addressed to
Melvln O. Wlnstock. general manager
of the People'a Amusement Company,
and is signed by K. W. Linn. American
manager for the; house.
The letter, after acknowledging the
high position the Festival has taken
among-the carnivals and celebrations
of the country, requests that arYange
ment, be made for the taking of views
of the leading eventa of the week for
use In connection with the "Pathe
Weekly," a film production which
hows the "hlgh-llghta" of world
events In all the prominent cities of
the civilized world.

The letter Is:

th. "Rom Fe.tlv.l." which take. plac. the
iosd w-ek in June. During or travels In
lbs Far West I have convinced myself that
this to an event of sufficient Importance.
Horn a National point of view, to J7'
our taking a f.w gllmp.e. for our weekly,
f have booked thl. .vent with th. depart
ment handling all matter. In connection
with our weekly, and 1 assur. you that It

Kindlr write me again on th. subject, at

regard., slncr.ly yours. w JAVIt.
The communication was turned over
to Ralph W. Hoyt. president ot the
Festival, and he was at once im
pressed with the enormous amount of
publicity such an arrangement would
mean for Fortland. The "Pathe Weekly"
deals only with the most Important
current events. To have place on this
mm the subject treated must be recog
nized as being of "universal Interest.
Fans TJacertala Yet.
-We are extremely sorry that we
can't close up this proposal Immediate
ly," eald. Mr. Hoyt. after conferring
with Mr. Wlnstock. "but as I said in
The Oregonlan a couple of days ago,
our finances are In such shape that we
cannot positively close any business de
tails definitely. This plan Is without
question one of the most valuable
means of advertising our city that we
could have access to. We couldn't buy
iuch publicity for any amount of money
because the topics handled In this
moving-picture display must stand ab
solutely on their merits, from the
standpoint of news, value.
"It. most assuredly. Is a great tribute
to the Rose Festival to receive such
a gratuitous offer to advertise what
our celebration la like all over the
known world, but. unfortunately, our
subscriptions do not and cannot war
rant us In making the arrangements
for auch display until we know Just
what funds we shall have at our dis
posal. I fear that we shall have to
decline the generous offer with deep
regret, for Mr. Wlnstock assures me
that the Pathe people must know In
the coarse of the next week or two
what we are going to do about our
next celebration.
"Numerous other offer and proposals
for advertising the Rose Festival on
an International scale have been re
ceived by th management In the last
few weeks, but they have all been
pigeon-holed."
The Rose Festival Association, says
Mr. Hoyt. will continue Its herolo ef-

'Washington High Air Pure.
H. H. Herdman. principal of the
Washington High School, last night! de
clared the report erroneous that he
considered the air In that school build
ing Impure. This Impression was
gained from a mtsreadlng of a com
munication sent by Mr. Herdman to
the members of the School Board. His
recommendation waa that a humidifier
be Installed in the building to increase
the moisture In the air. which is re
duced because the air passes over the
furnaces in entering the building. The
air contains a sufficient amount of
oxygen and the air that has been
breathed is properly disposed of. Mr.
Herdman' declares.
The difference between Incompetence
and inefficiency Is that the latter can
