CITY IS TO HAVE DISPLAY
. .
Land Show Exhibit to Illustrate
i Various Activities.
The various forms of municipal ac
tivity, with comparative statements
showing the differences between the
past and the present, will be a feature
of the Land Products Show at the
Armory. The display has been worked
up by the various city bureaus and de
partments, and has been assembled in
an attractive booth constructed under
the direction of officials of the Public
Works Department.
The booth is 25 feet long and 12 feet
wide. It has been constructed by city
employes. It occupies a space near the
main entrance to the Armory building.
(Supporting a covering which is to be
artistically decorated are the new street
trafTic warning signs which are being
Installed in various parts of the city.
The signs consist of circles of metal
18 inches in diameter mounted on two
Inch standards seven feet high. The
wording on the circular parts of the
signs varies, there being a full list of
all the different styles of signs to be
used on the streets. The signs and
standards are in red with gilt letters,
outlined in black.
About the booth will be placards and
signs giving facts and figures regard
ing the various activities of the city
government. These have been prepared
by the computers and draughting
forces in the city service, and are'
worked out in atractive design.
The placards show full facts and fig
ures regarding the handling of paving
during the last 10 years, including the
comparative unit costs, and the extent
of paving operations. The cost of main
taining the various city departments
under the councllmanic . and commis
sion forms of government is shown by
figures taken from the official records.
The public works department makes a
complete showing of the special work
done during the last year and a half,
with comparative figures of the work
done prior to that. Designs show the
growth of the city from all stand
points and the extent of special survey
and improvement work In recent years.
Other placards show the finances of
the city in detail, giving the bonded
indebtedness conditions, comparative
tabulations of taxation and other de
tails of the expense end of the city
government. These things and other
features of city management are shown
2iot only by figures, but also by draw
ings making comparisons during recent
years.
The health bureau has a display
showing the results of rigid milk and
medical inspection, showing by design
the improvement in milk conditions and
the decrease in the city's death rate
end the decrease in the amount of dis
ease in the city. The figures of the
health bureau show comparisons with
other cities, as regards results and the
cost of operation.
Diagrams with .figures and draw
ings illustrate the .. increase in the
amount of water consumed in the city
and comparative figures showing the
ost of operation in the past 10 years.
The. same has been provided for the
street cleaning and sprinkling bureau
and other similar bureaus.
Park development is shown in detail
in a series of charts and maps pro
duced by the Park Bureau. The devel
opment is shown in Portland and in
other cities.
The display is the most complete of
Its kind ever attempted by the. city.
At Any Cost.

RECORD DUE
Self Operation Is Aim of Land
Products Exposition.
FINANCIAL BASIS SOUND
Guarantee Fund Yet Untouched, Al
though Outlay on Temporary
Buildings Is $10,000 War
Depression Brings Xo Halt.
A Manufacturers' and Land Products
show that sets a record west of the City
of Chicago; a show which includes the
first manufacturers' show held in Port
land In IS years; a show that repre
sents more than $100,000 in the cost of
installation of . exhibits, preparations
and running expenses, and yet a show
that has financed itself and has stood
on. its own feet from the beginning,
will be realized in the great Manufac
turers' and Land Products Show open
in Portland tomorrow, and continuing
until November 14.
It was accounted a good achieve
ment two years ago when the Land
Products Show was financed through a
guarantee fund of $15,000, and the com
mittee was able to make a return of 25
per cent to the subscribers to the guar
antee. But this show has eclipsed in
its financing, as it has in every other
respect, the show of two years ago.
True, it is insured by a guarantee
fund to which there are about 200 sub
scribers among the prominent business
men and concerns In Portland, but there
has not been a demand upon this fund
from the beginning, and there will be
no demand upon it, according to the
confident prediction of the president,
the manager and the chairman of the
finance committee.
Financial Basis Is Sound.
"This show is unique among the
great land shows of the West in the
fact that it started without a cent of
tangible capital, and has paid its way
right along without being obliged to
draw upon its guarantee fund," says. A.
P. Bateham, chairman of the finance
committee. "This has been made pos
sible by the fine sales of space con
cessions to exhibitors. As soon as the
concession of space was let, in every
case the concessionaire was obliged to
make full payment. This system was
followed willingly, and, as a result, to
day all of the money paid for conces
slons is available and the snow is on
solid financial footing.
"Besides the space concessions, the
show received $4000 from the county,
but this fund will be applied to the
big premium list, which represents
$10,000.
"The outlay on the temporary build
ings of the show amounts to -about
$10,000 as well, and in addition to this
come in the expenses of maintenance,
employment of show attendants, in
surance and other running expenses.
"The cost of installing the exhibits
has been a tremendous thing for the
concessionaires. More than $50,000 is
put into the ( booths ' and decorations
that have been made. Decorators and
booth-builders who are experts have
been engaged by the concessionaires
and it is seldom that you find a de
signer or decorator who has taken the
contract for more than one booth and
into that one booth he is putting all his
skill and ingenuity, regardless of .tte
expense. -
Mar Depression Bravely Met.
"Medals and diplomas ordered this
week will amount to $1000 in a single
item. We have taken out fire insurance
on the show to full value, and in figur
ing up the money represented in this
affair, one must also . take into con
sideration the numberless special at
tractions that have been provided for
practically every day. .in which th
show will be running.
"When one comes to consider . the
handicap that the committee workel
under this year, the facts of the show
almost are startling. The guarantee
fund had reached a total of only about
$2000 and the space -concessions - had
not yet begun to be purchased, when,
in the middle of the Summer, the war
in Europe began.
"We were almost discouraged at that
time and it seemed. as though it would
be an impossibility to carry the show
through, but the committee decided to
stick by it. The guarantee fund was
now completed and work went on.
Space began to go more rapidly and it
soon appeared, that in spite of the war
SHOW
SCS&ST &CsboS
or other discouraging conditions, noth
ing could stop the progress of the
show.
"The .show has traveled on its own
feet, so to speak, through all the dif
ficulties. If the gate receipts amount
to something like $10,000 the show
will come out with fiying colors. Inas
much as there are three weeks in which
it will run, it is almost a certainty
that the gate receipts will run in con
siderable excess of that figure, and so
there need be no concern about the
Manufacturers and Land Products
Show taking care of Itself in the fu
ture as it has up to this time."
GERMANY AIDS HER IDLE
Unemployed Receive Benefits From
Government Fund.
LONDON, Oct. 22. From time to time
information comes via Amsterdam and
Copenhagen as to the Internal con
ditions of Germany, but so far nothing
I has come through showing that the
people are restless owing to want of
employment.
There is a reason for the calm de
meanor of the working classes in Ger
many, in spite of the fact that many
Industries are at a standstill, due to
the fact that the British navy has cap
tured or bottled up the enemy's cargo
ships. An official of the General
Federation of Trade Unions, which is
affiliated with the International Trade
Unions Secretariat in Berlin. Informed
representative of the -Morning Post
that information had been received to
the effect that the German government,
the Social Democrats and the trade
union organizations were working to
gether to prevent ebullitions of disaf
fection among those whom the war has
laid idle.
Government Aids Laborers,
There is a great deal of unemploy
ment in Germany in spite of the enorm
ous number of men drawn into military
service. The government from the first
realized that distress among the work
ing classes must be avoided while the
war lasted, and to prevent the despair
engendered by empty stomachs it made
arrangements with the trade union or
ganizations to keep the unemployed
from starvation. As to the methods
employed by the German government
to keep the workless people quiet, the
official of the general federation of
trade unions said in some cases the
trade unions were being subsidized to
insure the payment of unemployment
benefits. So long as the government
could pay out money in this way the
socialist and labor leaders must keep
quiet.
There are 158 trade unions affiliated
with the general federation of trade
unions, and it is said that many of
these are seriously affected by the war.
What are described as the "luxury
trades," such as Jewelers and fancy
leather workers, are badly hit. There
is. also depression in the furnishing
trades, while the building industry is
slack because speculative builders are
unable to get credit. In London, how
ever, the builders are fairly brisk; they
are completing contracts which- were
held up during the lock-out.
Britons Are Busy.
Saddlers and harness-makers are kept
busy, and there is briskness in the
shipbuilding industry and in the gov
ernment dockyards. The general labor
ers are not faring badly. Many are
employed on government work all over
the country, and a large number nave
been taken on at Woolwich Arsenal.
The recruiting for the army has kept
the boot and clothing factories busy
and there is increasing employment in
certain trades on account of the stop
page of German industries. The print
ing trade is slack, as commercial print
ing has largely Btopped for the moment
and many bookbinders, who but for the
war would have been busy at this
period of the year, are out of work.
So far as is known at the offices of
the general federation of trade unions.
nothing has been done for those who
have been thrown out of employment
through the war. "The various distress
committees do not appear to be taking
any action, said the official, who is re
ceiving reports from all over the coun
try. "They are not likely to get any
clear idea as to what is wanted. Or
ganized workmen are receiving un
employment benefits from their unions.

Laxity Only Danger.
Members of the City Commission
whom the recallers seek to recall say
they have no fear of the recallers win

The only danger, they say, lies in the
possibility of voters failing to take
Interest enough in the election to vote.
It is said to be certain that the re
callers and their friends, headed by dis
gruntled politicians, office seekers and
representatives of Interests having
political grievances against the present
administration will vote. Should the
recallers win they will have a major

will have complete control of the city
government.
Reports from authoritative sources
giving the details of the proposed pie
cutting plan arranged by the recallers
are denied by B. E. Kennedy, one of
the recall candidates for Mayor. He
says he has promised no position to
anyone. It has been reported by per
sons, who say they know the inside
of the recall" movement, that Seneca
Fouts Is slated for City Attorney; Jay
Upton for Municipal Judge, a physician
named Ballard for the City Health Of

in the city service.
Election Booths Ready.
Details of plans for the election were
completed yesterday by City Auditor
Barbur. The booths have been erected
In all polling places but three, where
the booths will be Installed tomorrow
after 6 o'clock P. M. There has been
considerable trouble because of the in
ability of the County Clerk's office to
get the poll books complete. A iorce
of officials may have to work all to
morrow night to finish the work. The
trouble has been caneed by the prox
Imity of the recall election to the clos
ing of the registration books.
To assist in the collection oi eariy
election returns City Auditor Barbur
vesterdav made a request that all elec
tion Judges and clerks co-operate wnn
the newspapers in giving Information
on the vote as the count Is made.
City Auditor Barbur sent out letters
yesterday to the election boards in

not to oermlt any person living out

and will be at the City Hall lor dis
tribution until Monday night.
Dr. ParrUfc Makes Reply.
Dr. George Parrish. who is the re
call candidate against Commissioner
Dleck. made the following reply yes
terday to the Non-partisan League in
answer to charges against mm:
"I am a man who has made a sue
cess of my own private business and
I am a large taxpayer. Every rail
road, corporation and large business
concern always selects a man of exec
utive ability, and I will surround my
self with men of ability who will look
after the different departments."
"It is not necessary that a Commis
sioner of Public Works should be
civil engineer. He should be a man
of executive ability and good sound
business judgment. He should have l
City Engineer able to handle the big
gest engineering projects. He should
have men at the head of each depart
ment peculiarly fitted for the positions
they hold. The Commissioner should
be the executive head of his depart
ment only, administering its affairs as
he would manage his own private busi
ness, and seeing that his subordinates
perform all technical work properly.
"If a Commissioner does this, he will
have performed his duty and per
formed It well.','
"That's what I will do If elected."
Vote to Double Affair.
To vote for the retention of Mayor
Albee in office the voter should place
an X before the word "No" which ap
pears on the ballot with the qjestion,
"Shall H. R. Albee be recalled from
the office of Mayor?" Then the voter
should place an X under the words
"First choice" after the names of can
didates In the second column of the
ballot. While the voter has the option
of giving a -second - choice vote to
another candidate it Is not necessary.
To vote a second choice a'n X should
be placed after the name of the candi
date under the words "Second Choice."
A first-choice vote can be given only
one candidate. This applies also to
second-choice votes. The same method
of voting for the two commissioner
ships should be followed as in the case
to vote for mayor. Should the voter
wish to vote for the recall of all 'or
any one of the officials attacked an
X should be placed before the word
"Yes" appearing before the words,
"Shall the official be recalled from
office?" The X in the column In which
appears the names of the candidates
should be placed in the "first choice"
column, after the name of the candi
date favored by the voter. Second
choice may be given another candidate,
but casting of second choice votes is
optional with the voter.

WAR PLAYS MANY PRANKS
Xetvlyweds Eat First Breakfast at
Soup Kitchen.
PARIS, Oct. 22. War truly plays
strange, fantastic tricks. Who would
imagine a newly married couple par
taking of their wedding breakfast at
a soup kitchen? Yet this is precisely
what happened the other day at Belle
ville, one of the poorer quarters of
Paris. In order to cope with the dis
tress caused by me war a soup kitchen
has been established in the popular
theater of the neighborhood. If one
had entered, the building he would have
observed a charming actress of the
Sarah Bernhardt Theater offering a
plate, a oowl and a knife and fork
to each person as he or she passed in.
Provided with these, the recipients
of relief betook themselves to the
theater orchestra, where they were
served with a humble but nourishing
meal of soup, boiled beef 'and vege
tables. But the viands were not eaten
in the orchestra, which obviously was
not large enough to accommodate the
250 who had come to be fed. It waa
on the stage that the tables were set,
and there it was that the applicants
found the cut bread and the water in
vessls that completed their repast.
Brides: room Is Bankrupt.
Of course tlVB newly wedded pair in
stantly found themselves the object of
curious, and even amused interest in
such a company. A marriage breakfast
in a soup kitchen. The bridegroom had
Just been called up and had to start off
in the evening to Join the colors. They
had been married that morning, and as
neither he nor the bride had the where
withal to provide a meal, they had re
paired to tne soup kitchen for their
marriage feast.
The boulevards still show some at
tempt at bustle, and the outlying
faubourgs are well peopled; but the
Rue de Rlvoli, the Rue de la Paix, the
Place Vendome. the Champs Elysees
and all the avenues leading from the
Etoile are deserted and the houses
show nothing but closed shutters. The
shops have again shut their doors, the
hotels are empty, or they shelter
wounded soldiers, ' and the sense of
space everywhere is as impressive as
the sudden silence, where, hitherto, all
has been turmoil.
The Tuilerles Gardens are no longer
used by the "midinettes" as a dining
room at midday, because the "mid
inettes" have no work and consequently
less lunch even than usual. Neither
are they used as nurseries for a mul
titude of babies or as a trysting place
for sweethearts.
Bablea Leave Danger.
. The babies have been taken out of
danger and the sweethearts have gone
to the war. The little wooden horses
of the "roundabouts" wait patiently for
the return of their small riders, and,
although their paint is growing a litUe
shabby and their legs are getting
little weather-stained, there is no doubt
about their turning as merrily as ever
whensoever they shall be required.
Smiles Few on Careworn Faces.
As evening falls Paris becomes curi
ously subtle and fugitive. Her land
marks haVe a way of disappearing into
the folds ot night while daylight still
lingers in the skies, the lamplighter
is chary with his lamps in time of war,
and the moon at that hour is either
too young or too old to count as a
light-giving factor. The Place de la
Concorde is a playground for innumer-
erable shadows and a few vivid search
lights.
The river flews -silently under un
lighted bridges, the Chambre des De
putes sleeps with both eyes, and only
the Mlnistere de la Guerre and the Tour
Eiffel are alert and alive to all eventu
alities. But even they, like the ships
on the sea, go about their business
with "lights out." The boulevards
show no brilliantly illuminated adver
tisements nowadays, and the cafes are
lighted with extreme moderation. The
cafes close at 8 and at 9:30 the restau
rants follow suit, at 10 all is quiet, de
serted and mysterious. No theaters, no
cinemas, no music anywhere; no laugh
ter, scarcely a smile.

Dry 'World Predicted.
"The .world is going dry," said Dr.
Howard. "The church is against the
saloon, the school is against it. the
home is against it. the scientific world
is against it. the civic world, the in
dustrial world, the sporting world and
the military world are all against the
liquor traffic."
Dr. Howard's main argument was the
economic one. He said that with the
money now "poured into the lap of the
saloon" 300,000 homes costing 12000
each could be built.
"And in each of these homes." he
said, "we could put $1000 worth of
furniture. 11000 worth of groceries and
flour, 1000 worth of clothing, and in
each basement if it would .hold, it, 100
tons of hard coal. Then we could de
posit 1000 to the credit of each of
these homes in a savings bank. And
we could do this this year, next year,
every year that the saloons were kept
closed."

RECIPE FOR BALD HEADS
Well-Known Politician Nearly Bald
Now Has New Growth of Hair.
Telia How He Did It.
A Western politician, well known on
account of his baldness and his ready
wit, surprised his friends by appearing
with a new growth of hair. Many of
his friends did not know him. and
others thought he had a wig. On be
ing asked how he did it. he made the
following statement: "I attribute the
growth of my hair to the following
simple recipe, which any lady or gen
tleman can mix at home: To a half
pint of water add 1 oz. of bay rum, a
small box of Barbo Compound and hi
oz. of glycerine. Apply to the scalp
two or three times a week with the
finger tips. It not only promotes the
growth of the hair, but removes dan
druff, scalp humors and prevents the
hair from falling out. It darkens
streaked, faded, gray hair and makes
the hair soft and glossy. These ingre
dients can be purchased at any drug
store at very little cost and mixed at
borne." Adv.
