PROPERTY MARK YET $1000 NOME 4 ( ' " I I 23 ARE AT INSTITUTION Young Mothers, Penniless and With out Friends, Taken in, Encour aged and Aided In Finding Work When Leaving. .. I The Florence Crlttenton Refuge Home, being greatly In need of finan cial aid, is to be benefited by a concert November 17 at the Masonic Temple. The board of managers of the home, consisting of Mesdames K. E. Bristow, Horace Ramsdell, A. I Lucas. R. R. Steele, E. S. Muckley, W. H. Doane, C. F. Swander and Messrs. Charles E. Ladd, Louis Tarpley and C. .W.

The Florence Crlttenton Refuge Home undoubtely is one, of the most worthy charities In the state, being a refuge home for any unfortunate or needy girl at any time. Although the home is principally of a maternity nature, it Is open at all times to girls needing help. At present there are 23 girls and 19 babies in the home. 18 of these girls being less than 20 years old. They come from all over the state and usually without any funds. Out of the 23 girls In the home only two came with any money to help take care of themselves and their babies. They rarely ever have any means .even to prepare the plain necessities for their babies. Young; Mothers Encouraged. Although the different circumstances surrounding these unfortunate girls would seem to crush every feeling of welcome for the little strangers, their own mother love and the kindly In fluence brought to bear upon them by those connected with the home encour ages the young mothers and they meet their sacred obligations of motherhood with sweet fortitude In almost . all cases. It-:nay be interesting to the public to know ' that these unfortunate girls do not sit idly waiting the time to leave the institution. Quite to the contrary, their time, is put to very good advantage. Mrs. C. A. Ward, the matron. Is In deed a mother to the girls and directs them In doing all the household duties of the institution, and the home can accommodate 40 girls. Garments Are Made Over. Besides the housework the girls have Shown special adaptability for sewing and tney clothe themselves almost en tirely by making over for themselves the garments donated and always leave the Institution with clothes for their babies made there. The Crittenton Home is really i home. The girls are taught domes tic science, sewing, reading, writing and English. There Is a piano and a reading-room, which Is greatly in need of more books. If any persons have books they have read and care to do nate, they would be most gratefully re ceived. Baby carriages are needed and a second-hand sewing machine. Proba bly stored away In your attic, friendly reader, you have books, pictures or these other articles, that would help these little mothers while they are in tne home. These articles will be called for If a telephone message is left at the home. East 316. Girls Aided in Finding Work. When ready to leave the home the girls are helped to And occupations, many times being sent into the country to work, where they can more easily care for themselves and their babies. And they go forth to begin life anew, being assured always by those who help- them In the home that their mis take does not exclude them from the Master's open door of forgiveness. The Florence Crittenton Home is not a state Institution, but does receive an appropriation from the state. This, however, is not adequate for the neeus of the home and it is necessary to raise funds through other sources. The board is making a special appeal Just now for funds and asking the pub lic to assist by patronizing the benefit concert. Tickets can be procured at the Wiley B. Allen Piano Company. Broadway and Morrison streets, or any funds can be sent direct to the home, 'East Thirty-first and Glisan streets. LUMBER CAPACITY CUT Factory Owners Estimate Loss . Nearly 00 Per Cent. Is That 60 per cent of the capacity of the lumber mills of the Northwest is shut down was the consensus of opinion among the 60 prominent lum bermen who attended the monthly meeting of the West Coast Lumber Manufacturers' Association at the Benson Hotel Friday. The trustees of the association trans acted routine business In the morning, while the afternoon programme in cluded a general discussion of trade and market conditions and an address by J. N. Teal on the recently passed trade commission bill and the Clayton anti-trust law. "As near as we can figure out 60 per cent of the 10-hour day capacity of the mills in the Northwest Is now shut down," said W. B. Mackay. pres ident of the association, last night. "If longer hours were considered the percentage of capacity not used would, of course, be larger. We do not look for any material improvement in the Industry until general business condi tions mend."

I EVAN WILLIAMS, TENOR. . )OPULAR songs sung by a voice that expresses every shade of emotion from pathos to joy of the most rapturous kind this is what appeals to the people, and what has made Evan Williams an idolized con cert tenor in America. No grand opera trills and roulades with foreign accent, but English songs of captivating va riety, delightful humor and genial and wholesome American spirit. In all the great cities on this con tinent Evan Williams is In popular de mand whenever an -important musical festival Is planned. His numbers are those that bring an ovation, for his voice goes straight to the heart. Mr. Williams himself feels profound SCHOOL AD IS "RUN If TRUCK AND VOTE-GETTING POSTER FOR NORMAL FLANTARRESTED. Officer Mistakes Gayly-Colored Box for Bungalow At Station Sigm of Illegal Slse la Disbanded. "Moving your bungalow?" asked Traffic Policeman Calavan, at the cor ner of Third and Morrison streets, early Friday afternoon, of the driver of a truck which carried a big box like affair painted In bright colors. "No; this is an advertisement,'"-said the driver. "It looks too big for the ordinance," said Calavan. "Better drive on" down to the police station." At the station the captain told the driver that the largest billboard per mitted to perambulate for advertising purposes on Portland streets must be less than 20 square feet In area. Each of the three sides of the advertisement was nine feet high and seven feet wide. , The sides bore four-color posters, depicting a schoolroom scene, and bore the legend, "If you want trained teach ers to mould the brains of your little ones, vote for the Southern Oregon Normal School." The appearance of the posters on the streets was due to the zeal of the Piedmont Parent-Teacher Association, whose members felt that the mere adoption of resolutions was too meager an evidence of their Interest In the normal school. When Mrs. E. K. Hurd. president of the association, received a telephone message from the advertising concern. telling her that her 'school rig had been run in," she ordered that the posters be dismounted and put in posi tion some place where they "would do the most good" until election day.

The Concord Dally Monitor says of the Musical Festival tenor: "Evan Williams' songs were perfect gems, and in their rendition the singer showed a perfect mastery of the art of vocalization. He must be placed at the head of all tenors who have visited Concord In recent years, from the standpoint of great brilliance of tone, wnile also having the finest tone qua! Ity that could be conceived."

I have been trying for the last two months to get work in my line, and have advertised and tramped this town over to every man who, I thought, could possibly use me, but they have all had the same reply 'See me as quick as business picas up and then I can use you.' Now, I have had several years' experience as salesman and in gas engine work, but now I am willing to do anything that I may be able to make a living for my family and keep my .children in school, but If some kind of work does not show up this coming week I will have to take them out of school If I could, I would put an ad. under the "News In Brief column, but I can not.

City Building Inspector Plum mer will present a proposed amend ment to the building code to the City Commission prohibiting projections in elevator shafts. In many elevators the shaft doors on some or all of the floors are set back from three inches to a foot from the elevator shaft, leaving a ledge or projection upon which a person's head or foot might get caught as the ele vator moves up or down. It Is th plan to require all shaft doors to be flush with the shaft. In some shafts there are projections caused by ex tended floor beams. It is proposed to have these beveled where they can b eliminated so that any object strikin them as the elevator moves up or dow will be pushed away Instead of bein squeezed between the elevator and the projection. CITY PARK. - Possibility for Pupils, Aided by Par ent and Teacher Shown by Re- -suits of Cleveland Child's Ef forts Portland Plans Made. "Soma time ago in speaking of chil dren's gardens I said that any child between the . ages of 5 or 6 and Zl years, with the proper assistance . of home and school, actually might pro duce out of the ground by purely edu catlve work $1000 worth of property by the time he is 21," said Dr. C. F. Dodge, professor of social biology at the University of Oregon, who was In Portland ysterday. "I have been flooded' with inquiries as to how this might be done, and take this way of answering many of them that come from Portland and vicinity. Cleveland Example la Cited. First as to facts, have Just re ceived a letter from a little Cleveland girl who made a record from her gar den last year of J253.S3, actual cash received. In addition to th,is she re ceived about $50 in cash prizes and 35 other prizes of bulbs, shrubs, bronze and gold medals and books. She sends me her garden account for six years: 1909 S 18.45 1S10 35.40 1911 59.10 1912 161.83 1913 253.83 1914 ud to date 232.00 "This totals $761.53. as the cash re turns from a little girl's garden 62 feet square. She is now 17 and still has three more seasons before she Is 21 If she keeps up the work she ought to have more than JloOO by that time. Where would she be now If she had had the necessary help, encouragement and instruction at the age of 6 Instead f 12?" Portland Plana Being; Made.. Dr. Hodge Is having a conference with Superintendent Alderman and talking over the plans for next year. They desire to stimulate as mucn in erest as possible in home gardens, as well as in the school gardens for which Portland has received National recognition. Dr. Hodge thinks that Portland n decided advantages In that the climate is more suitable than almost any other city in the United States. The possi bllities of Winter gardening here are unexcelled any place in the world. Vacant lots In all parts of the city may be had for the asking. Record Year of Garden Work Plan. It Is hoped to make the garden work this year the best in the history of the city. Mr. Weed will begin his work the first of November, and pro poses to have records that will surpass that even of the little Cleveland gin, An effort Is being made to induce children to plant a grape vine to deo orate the back yard, also to encourage the children to take special care or and keep a record of a rose bush or some other flowering plant. If each child In Portland would do as well as the Cleveland girl this year the actual production would amount to 17.614.900. If they would produce one- third as much asthe girl in Cleveland it would amount to twice aa much as the school system of Portland costs. NORTH END FOR RECALL ANALYSIS OF VOTE SHOWS BETTER ELEMENT WON. Fight on Officials Supported Mainly by Rooming-Hoaae Districts Official Count to Be Made. That the recallers in the Albee- Dleck-Brewster election last Tuesday had but little support outside the North End, the hotel districts of the East Side and West Side and a few close- in residence sections Is apparent from a study of the election returns on file In the office of City Auditor Barbur. The vote is regarded as a big victory of the better element of the city. The North End was the principal mainstay of the recall vote. All through that district the returns were in favor of the recallers in the vote on the propose recall of Mayor Albee. Out of 100 precincts on the West Side, 29 gave the recallers a bigger vote than they gave Mayor Albee. The rest were for Albee, some with small mar gins and others with extremely large majorities. With a few exceptions, the North End went for the recallers. This applied also to the districts marked by small rooming-houses on the West Side east of Fifth street and south of Morrison streets and with exceptions aa far south as Porter street. Out of 193 precincts on the East Side only 13 showed majorities for the re- call of Mayor Albee. Of these, eight . ""V-"- others were precincts in the rooming- turns favoring the recall of Mayor Al- bee, only 11 were precincts which might be called residence precincts. The remainder were in the business or rooming-house districts. City Auditor Barbur will start work tomorrow on the preparation of the of flcial election count.

In I find nothing In the existing law relating to the practice of dentistry which is not di rectly in conflict with the proposed measure, except, possibly, the provisions creating the board, and these would be vain,' futile and without purpose if the new measure were in effect. All that the proposed measure provides in respect of moral character is an affidavit of two citizens of the State of Oregon, attesting to the applicant's good moral character. The two citizens "who so attest may, for all the act provides, be denizens of the County Jail or otherwise unworthy of regard. I think there can be no doubt but the existing law would be annulled in its entirety and all its salutary and wholesome provisions for the public would, be swept away. RICHARD W. MONTAGUE, Attorney, of Wood, Montague & Hunt. A GOOD That Is the Only Issue Known as the DENTISTRY BILL. The present law requires a state examination. So does every other state. ! The present law provides for a state examination. So does every other state. ; The present law grants a state license. So does every other state. The present law has an age qualification. The present law revokes a license for conviction of felony or misdemeanor involving moral turpi tude. The present law revokes a license for gross ignorance. The present law revokes a license for inefficiency. The present law revokes a license for habitual intemperance. , The present law revokes a license for gross immorality. ' . , The present law revokes a license for obtaining a fee by fraud or misrepresentation. , The present law provides for state supervision and regulation of the practice of dentistry. t , THE DENTISTRY BILL REPEALS ALL THESE PROVISIONS. No state in the United States af cepts the license of every other state. The present law will not recognize a 12-months' dentistry course. THE DENTISTRY BILL "WILL DO BOTH OP THESE THINGS. The present law prevents the establishing of dental colleges below standard requirements. THE DENTISTRY BILL PERMITS THAT. The present law requires an educational and moral standard equal to that of nearly every other state and foreign country. The Dentistry Bill makes the educational and moral standard the LOWEST in the WORLD. The instigator of the Dentistry Bill is an alien of Oregon. The initiative of Oregon has been abused for the personal ends of a citizen of another state. The State of Oregon must bear the expense of an initiative measure for the personal revenge of an alien. Shall Oregon defend her educational and moral standards? f Shall the State of Oregon be rebuked and defied by one man, an alien? Shall the laws of Oregon be destroyed for personal ends? Oregon and her laws are in the hands of her own citizens, the voters of the state. Here are some of the papers of the state that are opposing the Dentistry Bill: Portland Telegram. Deutsche Zeitung.

CROP IS WORTH $9,500,000 Asotin and Whitman County Farm ers Make Record Profits. ASOTIN. Wash., Oct 31. (Special.) The 1914 grain crop of Asotin and Whit man counties was worth 9. 500.000 at a conservative estimate, without allow ing for any advance that may come in prices on the amount remaining In the hands of the farmers. This Is one of the most profitable crops which has ever been produced, despite the fact that the yield was below the average and the quality of wheat was not good, owing to the general prevalence of smut. Seymour Manning, In the grain busi ness in this district for 30 years, esti mates the total yield of Whitman Coun ty at 12,000.000 bushels, of which 9, 000.000 Is wheat, 2,000,000 oats and 1.- 000,000 barley. About 20 per cent of the crop remains In the hands of the producers. The last ten days have seen more wheat sold in this territory than dur ing any similar length of time this year. The price quoted Is uniformly fl, but most of the farmers are of the opinion that higher prices will prevail. HORSES BOUGHT IN IDAHO British Agent Says Canadian Supply Is Depleted. LEWISTON.

One of the residents, Armand Patereau. leaving nls little son with his grandparents. Mr. and Mrs. M. Patereau, has answered the call to the colors and is on his way to France to fight the Germans. About 12 French families settled in the Middle Valley district about 20 years ago. They have been augmented since by the arrival of relatives from their native land. They have been frugal and thrifty. Some members of these families are known in the best hostelrles of Portland, Seattle and Spokane. In the Winter months, they have been em ployed In these cities as waiters, pass ing the Summers at work on their farms. These residents of the Middle Valley are so eager to receive the latest re reports of war moves that, during the time the fight has been going on, they have gathered at the home of a neighbor who has a telephone, that they might hear the latest dispatches on their arrival at Hood River. In this manner they hear the reports nearly a day before the news would reach their district ordinarily. BANK SUIT IS STARTED Stockholder Wants $13,500 Out ol SaTo Deposit Box at Centralla.
