PORTLAND GIRL'S RISE UPON
STAGE IS RAPID AND CONSTANT
Home art On. V.mm Sia .t Hiiy L. B. WU1 SX.nock Comfy With H,r H

v i i. " v -1 i
PORTLANDERS who follow the up
risings and downsettings of their
fellow townspeople who have made
headway In climbing the ladder of
theatrical success will learn with
ni.iinrA nf tha ranid rise of a Portland
girl, Florence Hart. Last season she
was with Izetta Jewel, as second wom
an in the Poll Stock In Washington,
D. C This year she is playing second
roles with the Burns Stock Company at
Colorado Springs. She is entering now
upon her sixth month there, having
appeared in an unusually wide range of
character roles.
Miss Hart is blessed with a peculiar
versatility which has enabled her to
play parts from 16 to 60. From Betty
in "Nobody's Widow" to Helen Ware's
role a leading one In "The Regenera
tion" Is a far cry, but Miss Hart has
been given splendid notices In both.
This is Miss Hart's second and last
season as second womn. Next year
she is to head a stock company with
her husband, Alfred F. Cross, a well
known dramatic actor, who last season
was a member of "The Little Theater '
organization of players and who has
appeared in support of Mrs. Flske. Guy
Bates Post and Edith Wynn Mathlson.
In type Miss Hart has been likened to
Mrs. Patrick Campbell, and her great
strides in her work have been due
quite as much to her mentality as her
beauty. -
Like many other actresses she was a
newspaper woman before she adopted
the stage. She is the daughter of the
late Charles Francis Hart, who for 20
years was financial editor of the New
York Herald, and at the time of his
death city editor of the Philadelphia
Bulletin. Miss Hart was for a num
ber of years a free lance writer in New

WHIRLWIND TO STRIKE
PORTLAND DECEMBER 6
Business Center to Be Hit First, but Not by Wind Only Society Girla
Who Will Sell Red Cross Christmas Stamps.
A
Tiv vmr rflRVKR RAYMOND.
WHIRLWIND, which is not in
rindad in the forecast of the
Weather Bureau, will visit the
City of Portland December 16 It will be
central over thebusiness portion oi
the city, with the storm area- widen
ing in all directions for 10 days. The
disturbance will be general, but will be
marked by distinctly beneficial results
and need occasion no alarm.
Shoppers who are abroad at that time
may expect to be caught in the phe
nomenon and will have an opportunity
to observe the cause at official "ki
osks," which will be stationed at
every department store, many drug
stores, office buildings, the Postoffice
and other public buildings. There will
be frequent flurries of Red Cross
Christmas Seals.
. One million seals will be placed on
sale the opening day by the Visiting
Nurse Association, of Portland, for the
purpose of raising 10,000 for the
tuberculosis department of the associa
tion. To treble the amount of last
year is a big undertaking, but the
members of the tuberculosis commit
tee believe It can be done, i
Committee's Flan Extensive.
Mrs. T. D. Honeyman, chairman;
Mrs. R. J. Dieck, vice-chairman;
Mrs. James Laldlaw, Mrs. S. Frank,
Mrs. A. F. Biles, Mrs. P. E. Froe
lich, Mrs. L. H. Tarpley, Mrs. W. P.
Sinnott constitute the committee , in
charge of the campiagn. They have
worked out an extensive plan, which
Includes the co-operation of the press,
churches, business houses, schools, fra
ternal organizations and other socle
ties. The plan marks an Innovation, not
only in the spectacular size of the pro
ject, but in the elimination of the per
sonal appeal for contributions. These
women realize that business and pro
fessional men of the city are continu
ally approached to assist In benefit
funds until charity has become an al
most unbearable tax. It is believed
that a general spirit of helpful
ness on the part of the public will
make It possible to raise this big sum
without placing a burden upon anyone.
Although the growth of the city has
been great and the demands upon the
association have grown with -the city,
available funds have decreased by rea
son of diminishing receipts. If the
work is to be continued the most de
termined effort must be made this
year. As the Visiting Nurse Associa
tion is the only organized activity in
Portland engaged in the antituber
culosis fight, it is clear that generous
Bupport is essential. -
Nobody wants to have tuberculosis.
The only way not. to have it is to pre
vent it, and the only way to prevent
it is to know how to prevent it. The
old notion that "consumption is in the
family" and that all the family must
have it because one member died from
it, is as murderous as it is ignorant.
Prevention, not cure, is the keynote of
the campaign, for which the education
of the ignorant and careless, who are
numbered in their thousands, is the
necessary antecedent.
Society Girls to Sell Stamps.
Relief work, as well as preventive
work, is carried on by the association.
The Red Cross fund provides bedding,
food, medical attendance, tents any
equipment that may be necessary for
the comfort and care of the patient. In
the past year 2393 visits have been
made to paUents. 13,488 eggs and 6090
quarts of milk were supplied. Among
other expense items of the association
in the fight against tuberculosis, are
two sanltorla. transportation for pa
tients, ambulance hire, regular and spe
cial nurses, tents and awnings, cloth
ing and bedding. .
Tuberculosis claims one out of every
10 persons who die in Oregon. And it
can be prevented. - If everybody who
does not want to die of tuberculosis
would buy one Red Cross Christmas
Seal the association could start a bank.
HEALTH TO BENEFIT BY PRO
CEEDS OF SALE.
!
Red Cross Stamp.
Do you want to save your own life and
are you willing to help save the lives
of others?
As In former years, the seals will be
sold at the booths by society girls, who
are willing to give a part of their time
at the busy Christmas season to this
work of mercy. Preliminary to the
opening of the general sale, December
16, the seals iwill be on sale at the
headquarters of the Visiting Nurse As.
sociation, 601 Medical building,' and at
the office of the Child Labor Commis
sion, 250H Third street.
TRAIN SERVICE INCREASED
O.-W. R. & If. to Pnt Dally Passen
ger on Wallowa Branch.
ENTERPRISE, Or, Dec 7. (Special.)
An increase in train facilities on the
Wallowa County branch of the O.-W.
R. & N. Company will be inaugurated
tomorrow. A dally passenger train will
be put on. "It will carry no freight, but
a freight train will be run every other
day.
The new passenger train will leave
fca Grande at 10 A. M., the time when
the mixed train now departs. It will
get to Enterprise at 1:45 P. M. and
at Joseph, the terminus, at 2. Return
ing, it will leave Joseph at 2:45, Enter
prise at 3, Wallowa at about- 3:45, and
will arrive at La Grande at about 7
o'clock.
Ever since the branch line was fin
ished four years ago the railroad has
run one train a day in each direction.
This Is a mixed train and the volume
of the freight business has grown so
that it is practically impossible to keep
it on time. Of late the railroad has
suffered from rock and dirt slides in
the canyon of the Wallowa and Grande
Ronde rivers, and the delays have
been more marked.

A SIMPLY
WONDERFUL CAR
- Is the verdict of everyone who has seen and ridden in The
Chalmers "Six."
If you are going to buy a car and have not availed yourself of
the opportunity to ride in The Chalmers "Six" you have been
unfair to yourself.
. We do not believe that any car, regardless
of make, price, or anything else, will equal
the Chalmers "Six" in performance; and
. price considered, we do not believe any car
- is better jn any respect. .
If there is any doubt in your mind as to the ability of The
Chalmers "Six" it is a very easy matter to settle. Even the most
biased or prejudiced mind must admit the wonderful value
offered in The Chalmers "Six'
If there is any particular hill you want to climb on high, try
The Chalmers. If you want to go slow or fast, if you want
easy riding, if you want good looks, if you want electric lights,,
demountable rims, a self-starter that's always reliable and simple,
" ' if you want big tires, deep, soft cushions, lots of leg room and
wide doors ; if you want a smooth, quiet running motor, vibration
less, if you want service, quality and the satisfaction of doing
business with an old reliable, financially responsible concern
buy a Chalmers.

Breaking Away From
the Drink Habit
Neal Treatment Is the
Help He Needs
Those who have never felt the gnaw
ing, craving desire for liquor cannot
understand why many a man who
honestly tries to stop so quickly falls
back into old excessive dTlnklng ways.
Advice isn't what is needed by a
man who is "on fire"" with desire for
liquor. tHe needs the right kind of
medical help-the Neal Treatment,
which is saving hundreds every month
at three score Neal Institutes In Ameri
can, Canadian and Australian cities.
The Portland Institute is a home
like place. Each guest is at all times
under the personal charge of a regu
lar physician. Names or guests are
never divulged and all communications
are held in strictest confidence. Guests
enjoy all the privacy and comforts of
home, club or hotel. If the patient
prefers, his friend, wife or other rela
tive may remain with-him during the
treatment, without any extra charge.
All patients have a private room and
all meals are taken in same. For fur
