TITE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 2, 1913. SOCIETY FOLK AID BABY HOI SHOW Proceeds From "Jappyland" to Be Expended for Modern Heating Plant. ANNEX ALSO IS PLANNED Old Buildings, Xow Housing Eonre 60 Orphans of Portland, Soon Will Be Inadequate to Shelter All Who Seek Admittance. For the sake of Portland's orphan waifs, who are sheltered, cared for and launched in life by the Baby Home, Kast Thirty-seventh and Ellsworth streets, some BOO of the city's most fashionable society folk are working hard,, and will work harder during the next four weeks. Preparations and rehearsals for "Jap pyland," the beautiful and elaborate musical extravaganza which is to be grlven at the Armory for two evening's and a matinee performance beginning on Thanksgiving night, November 27, are well under way. All circles of elite society have Joined hands in the effort to make the undertaking a brilliant success from all viewpoints. The show is held to raise cash to purchase and Install a modern heating system for the old building, which is now shelter ing some 60 orphan babies, and to assist In the building of additions and other Improvements that are planned. Kvery afternoon the hundreds of men and maids and little schoolgirls who are to take part in the big production meet and practice their fancy dances and song numbers in the assembly room of the Multnomah hotel, under the di rection of Edward H. Coates, author of Jappyland," and Miss Gllmore, his assistant, who are giving the young folk professional training. There are to be more than a dozen special cos tume dances, in each of which there will be scores of society girls and youths, and the prelude will be sung by an even 100 dainty misses of the school girl age, "buds" and debutantes of a season or so hence in local society. Doirm 'Work on Booths. Besides the dancers who are to par ticipate in the production and the ma trons who are acting as chaperons and sponsors at rehearsals, dozens more are working hard on the Intricate detail of the big organization demanded by the undertaking. There are to be flower and trinket booths, bon-bon shops, and various other picturesque features de signed for the swelling of the charity fund, so there Is work enough for all. Mrs. Holt C. Wilson, chairman of the general advisory committee, reports ex cellent progress In all departments of the enterprise and a splendid spirit of co-operation, which promises to bring "Jappyland" up to the standard of the memorable Klrmesses. The Baby Home, which is to be the beneficiary of the society-charity af fair, is the only institution of its kind in the city and fills a need for which no other provision has been made. In the home there are some 60 infants, from a few days to 4 or 5 years old, cared for under the most systematic methods. There is a nurse to each nine infants, and medical attention is given by Br. Joseph Bilderback, the institu tion physician. Special attention to all matters hygienic anad sanitation is a principle of the management, and the importance of the milk supply, which constitutes the main commissary fea ture, has been recognized by the es tablishment of a model dairy, with fine bred cows and an immaculate milkman in fresh-laundered suit of duck, on the premises. Dr. D. W. Mack, city dairy inspector, pronounces the Baby Home barn to be the best in the state from standpoint of sanitation and general excellence. Annex and Kxpnnslonn Planned. While the grounds are spacious enough for all needs, and the old build ing originally taken over by the Baby Home management has been remodeled to fairly well meet the present de mands of the institution, the man agement and friends of the home are taking heed of the future and are plan ning for an annex and some extensions. The baby supply, instead of diminish ing, constantly Is increasing with the jrrowth of the city, and the old building i crowded and soon will be inadequate. The great immediate need, however, is for a modern heating system. The antiquated furnace with which the house was equipped years ago is worn out and useless, so that the only means of healing the building has been two fireplaces and some stoves, undepend able, unsatisfactory and expensive. Mrs. D. C. Burns, superintendent of the home, says the hardest problem in aring for the little waifs has been that of providing the proper warmth aid ventilation. The management ex pects to install a first-class, modern heating plant, costing about $2000, which is to be large enough to heat the new annex and any additions that may be built to the old building. With the proceeds of "Jappyland" the Baby Home is thus to be made warm and snug for the Winter months, an improvement which may be the means of saving the lives of some tender little waifs, to whom a draft, or a drop in temperature might easilv Drove fatal. The society folk who have undertaken to raise the fund for the new furnace are hopeful of raising much more than the $2000 required. Any surplus will Efo zor otner improvements. BOY FOOLS WITH DYNAMITE t. Johns Youngster Charges Wounds to Hunter. ST. JOHNS. Or.. Nov. 1. CSDeclal.V Although only 10 years old Clifford Koch, of St. Johns, has developed a fine Imagination. While coin it home Wednesday of last week with his elder brother and two playmates from East St. Joh.ns he picked up a dynamite cap, and started to " excavate" the con tents with the Intention of making a whistle. The contents came out all right, but the whistle was not devel oped. Clifford had the ends of three fingers of his left hand torn off, his hand was lacerated and' there are other wounds on his body. The boy was tak en to the St. Johns Hospital, where the wounds were dressed by Dr. Jayne. The boy declared that he had been wounded with a charge of blrdshot fired by some one in the brush.

The warmth, the ro mance, the tender appeal, the dramatic passion of sunny Spain focused into tha glowing beauty of music as only the dark-skinned denizens of Southern Eu rope can know it. Both nature and art have lavished their richest gifts upon Gogorza. Added to a temperament of fire and tenderness are intellectual power of the highest order and a genius for language that enables him to interpret with wonderful perfection the songs of Germany, France, Italy and England. He understands the deli cate art of breath control as no other man-singer before the public The San Francisco Examiner of October 13, in BUSINESS ACTIVITY REAL STEADINESS IMPRESSES THE MER CHANTS NATIONAL BANK. Bank Clearings for September Increas ed Over Whole Country, " New York Being Only Sufferer. "Taking a blrdseye view of the busi ness situation," says the Merchants Na tional Bank in its November Letter. Issued yesterday, "we are Impressed with its steadiness in the face of im portant measures Just made Into new laws and the currency bill still before the Senate. We can recall times when business would have been demoralized through the discussion of such Im portant legislation. The present busi ness activity is real. Mills are fdsy, railroads are busv. exports are heavy, money is easing and in spite of much public and cress discussion of a pessimistic nature, the undertone or business continues strong and healthy. There is an area throuerh Alabama. Mississippi, Western Kentucky, South ern Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, Ne- orasKa and Western Soutn Dakota. where business Is not what it should be, but in all the remainder of the country, business 1s as good or better man it was a year ago or two vears ago and it is decidedly better than mree years ago.

"Building operations for September totaled $70,000,000 for 160 cities com pared with $60,000,000 last year and $67,000,000 for September, 1911. These figures do not Include New York City.

MISS MARJIE DOW, one of the principals of "The Girl From Mumms," la a devoted lover of flowers. Miss Dow has asked the leading botanists of the country this question hundreds of times: "Are the wild flowers becoming ex tinct? Will there come a day when It will be impossible to gather, even at the outskirts of the cities, the wild flowers we loved so when we were chll drn? Miss Dow contends there are but few spots left where wild flowers still hold Summer revel. The absolute disap pearance of many a delicate favorite that used to greet her in childhood days has made them but a memory of the past. There was a time when forefathers laughed and ridiculed the idea of the extinction of the buffalo and other animals, now about as ex tinct as the wild flower will be but a few years hence. The following are suggestions given by Miss Dow lor gathering wild flowers: "They should never be gathered near the walks or driveways, for there they give most pleasure and are least ex posed to injury. "As little as possible of the leaf or leaf stem should be taken away with the flower and underground roots and stems should not be disturbed. "Rare or unusual flowers should not be gathered except for scientific pur poses." Miss Dow Is a warm personal friend and great admirer of Luther Burbank, the great botanist and horticulturist of Santa Rosa, Cal.. who has done more to awaken an interest in the beauties of the wild flower than any man of this GOGORZA. an able, analytical article upon Go gorza says: "It would be possible to read a les son to singers of high and low degree on the supreme virtue of breath con trol, using Gogorza as a text. But better than that is to go and hear him, to note how the breath is justly pro portioned to the phrase, not too much nor too little. And listen to the enunci ation. Most singers' English seems to belong to some country marked on no atlas; when Gogorza sings the old English song "Sally In Our Alley" you understand every word. This artistic perfection leaves you at liberty to lis ten to the song as the expression of a mood or passion, or in a word, enjoy a song as It ought to be enjoyed." This famous baritone will sing at the Heilig Wednesday night, November 6, under the direction of Lois Steers-Wynn Coman. year. For the year to date, building permits in 160 cities outside of New York have been $6,000,000 greater than last year and $15,000,000 greater than the year before. "During September, there occurred 1203 business failures with total lia bilities of $21,000,000 compared with 1124 failures in Septenber, 1912, with liabilties amounting to over $16,000,000. These reports on the total number and amount of business failures would prove misleading to business men were It ; not explained that 'each year the facilities for the collecting of this in formation are Improved and failures are Included In this year's report which might have been wholly overlooked a yean ago or five years ago. It Is prob able that the actual number of failures this year has been little, if any, greater than for the same period of 1912, al though the figures compiled show B larger number of business casualties."

I x- " I GO E NOW wORRY Collector Miller Expects Vol untary Compliance. P0RTLANDERS GET READY Almost 'Unlimited Power Given Au thorities In Seeking Information on Incomes of Persons, Plrms and Corporations. Those Portland persons who are for tunate enough to be affected by the new ederal income tax law are busily preparing statements of their personal income-bearing resources so that pay ments may be made into the hands of the Government officials. Milton A. Miller, Collector of Internal Revenue, who will have charge of col lections In this district, anticipates lm mediate and voluntary compliance with the law by persons who are affected. It is probable that the Government will be a little lenient in enforcing collections for the first month, as many persons are not yet familiar with the Federal requirements. The law became operative yesterday. Collections Walt Month. On account .of the confusion growing out or the efforts to prepare income statements, the Government has sus pended collections of the tax from cor porations for a month. The Collector of Internal Revenue and his assistants have almost unlim ited power in seeking information on the incomes of persons, firms and cor porations. The statistics of the cor poration tax bureau, which now is con ducted by the Collector of Internal Revenue, are, of course, available. The records of the County Assessors' offices and all other public records may De examined, ibg payrolls of employ ers, upon which may be noted the sala ries paid to employes, may be scrutin lzed. The law provides that "every col lector shall, from time to time, cause his deputies to proceed through every part of the district and inquire after and concerning all persons therein who are liable to pay any such tax and all persons owning and having the care and management of any objects liable to pay any tax and to make a list of such persons and enumerate said ob jects." Many persons who will be required to pay Income tax under the provisions of this bill are saving their collectors the trouble of sending their collectors out to examine into their affairs. They are preparing statements of the sources of their income and sending them to the Internal Revenue Collector's office. Great secrecy is to be maintained In handling the statements of income tax payers and it will be unlawful for any person to print or publish any income return or any part thereof. State officials will have access to the reports for the purpose of securing Information to be used in levying state taxes, and then only upon request of the Governor. Technically, the returns are to be public records and open for inspec tion," but actually the public will not have access to them at all. Heavy penalties are provided against corporations or firms that make false j returns or that tail to make returns at the proper time as prescribed by the ! law. For any one such offense the fine I can be as high as $10,000. Six Exemptions Provided. The law provides six exemptions. substantially as follows: First Expenses necessary to the ac tual conduct of a business, but not personal living or family expenses. Second All Interest paid on indebt edness. Third All National, state, county. school and other taxes paid. Fourth Losses sustained through trade failures, fires, storms and other causes and not compensated for by in surance or otherwise. Fifth "Bad debts" that are charged off the books. Sixth A reasonable amount for loss by "wear and tear" on property. Persons whose net income is less than $3000 a year are not subject-to the tax at all. An additional allowance of $1000 is made for a married man with a wife living with him, and in the case of a woman income taxpayer, $1000 is deducted for her husband, but in no case shall more than $4000 be deducted from the aggregate incomes of husband and wife.

Hardiman was captured with a white woman, who gave her name as Margaret Mont plaisir, and said she was the wife of a local hotel waiter named Charles Montplaisir.

Hardiman, who served 30 days in the city jail for the alleged theft of sil verware was Identified by a scar which decorates one of his cheeks. The detec tives declare that the woman left Portland the night before the robbery of the Turteltaub store, buying both tickets, and that immediately after the robbery, Hardiman also boarded a train, for Spokane, Wash. From Spokane they are said to have gone to Seattle, and then to Tacoma, the detectives keeping track of their movements, but being unable to locate them in such time that they could be arrested. Hardiman is said to have robbed a store on Russell street in Albina the day before the Turteltaub grocery rob bery, getting about $30. The Turtel taub robbery was a bold one, being accomplished shortly after 1 o'clock in the afternoon. The negro entered the place, forced Turteltaub to elevate his hands, and took about $15 from the cash drawer. Persons who saw the negro hanging about the locality for two hours before the crime, remember ed the scar on his face, and this con- QUICKLY STOPS THE E Croxone Makes Kidney Trou bles, Bladder Disorders, Rheumatic Pains Vanish If you suffer with backachlng kid ney trouble, have disagreeable bladder and urinary disorders, or are tortured with rheumatism, stiff joints, and its heart-wrenching pains, you will be sur prised how quickly and surely Croxone will relieve all such troubles.

We put these) pictures here ior your protection be cause our remedies are so good and efficient that we have imitators. We , want you to get the original and genuine preparations, and when the medicine you buy is put up like the above pictures, you will know that you have the genuine article. Take no imitation or substitute. EVERY fair minded man and woman will admit the too great proneness of the present ap;e toward surgical operations. A littla unusual pain in liver, kidney, stom ach, or intestines seems to so work upon the imagination of the average individual as to call for an opera tion for gall stones, stone in kidney or bladder, appendicitis or some other like trouble. You know this to be true, and if you will reflect a moment, you will also know that it is sheer nonsense. Fits of indigestion, cramps, consti pation, pain in the region of tha liver, are simply danger signals to the intelligent mind, but do not ot necessity call for an operation. Our way, the simple, common sense way, is to administer reason able doses of ' FRUITOLA and TRAXO pure fruit and vegetable products which treat the stomach and intest inal tract in Nature's way. Their mild and stimulating action will dislodge every particle of viscid or hardened matter held within the folds and angles of the intestinal tract and carry it away as natural waste. They are stimulating, soothing and strengthening to mucous lining and muscular walls and brine about a condition affording perfect digestion and assimilation of food. This simply means restoration to normal health. These admirable qualities of FRUITOLA and TRAXO are the evi dence of relieved thousands who - gave testimony to the fact in our little book which will be mailed free upon your request. Nearly all druggists sell these rem edies. If your druggist does nit have them, correspond with us and we will see that you are supplied.
