block. It is expected that the district
communities will control the particu
lar variety among all those available
in each repetition of color, and thus
increase the variated representation

Jeopardising the street railway serv

The whole world knows
Tbs Portland rose.
This is the slogan that will adver
tise the 1915 Rose Festival of Portland
n every part of the country for the
next few months.
u. C. Cooper, of McMinnville, com
posed it, and out of some 4000 or 000
slogans submitted in the contest closed
last week, it was selected as the best
by the committee of representatives
from various commercial clubs and
organizations.
Mr Cooper will be the guest of honor
at the luncheon of the Portland Ad
Club at the Multnomah Hotel next
Wednesday and on that occasion George
L. Baker, president of the club, will
present him with the check for $25
which was awarded to hlra by the Rose
Festival Board as prizewinner in the
slogan contest.
Mr. Cooper is head of the walnut
experiment station at McMinnville and
is a pioneer of Oregon. He celebrated
his 70th birthday last Saturday.
"I had several reasons for entering
the slogan contest," he said, "chief
among them being my desire to at
tract public interest to the state en
campment of the G. A. R. which will
be held in McMinnville immediately
after the Rose Festival. This is the
&Jth year since peace was declared and
we are making It a great Jubilee and
we want the G. A. R. men who come
by way of Portland to the Panama
Pacific Exposition, to run out from
Portland to the encampment at Mc
Minnville. Commander in Chief Palmer,
of the G. A. R., will be there from
Des Moines, and It will be the greatest
G. A. R. meeting ' ever held in the
state."
Mr. Cooper submitted only a few
slogans and two or three of the other
ones he offered were well up toward
the final selection. The number of
slogans submitted by individuals
ranged from one to half a hundred.
One man sent in 53.
William McMurray re-submitted the
old slogan "Roses Fragrant, Roses
Rare, Roses, Roses Everywhere," and
this also was in the running among
the topnotchers.

of pneumonia enlivened the interest at
a meeting of the Samaritan Hospital
Medical Association, held in the Nurses'
Home of that institution last night.

Drs. William Egbert Robinson and Mor
timer, Illman, and dealt with experi

asserted, was to lessen the' duration of
the disease by half, preventlnf that dis
astrous sapping of vitality which is
often fatal.
A number -of gynecological cases were

Medal Signifying Portland's Su
premacy la, Fare Milk
Supply.
Dr. T. W. Mack, chief of the"
milk inspection division of the
City Health Bureau, received a
gold medal which the city won at
the Washington State Fair in
North Yakima, Wash., for having
the purest milk supply of any
city in Oregon, Washington,
Idaho and British Columbia. The
medal will be given a place in
a case on the wall in the milk
inspection laboratories at the
City Hall.
The largest cities of the North
west competed in the milk con
test, which was conducted by the
United States Bureau of Animal
Industry. Milk inspectors in
Portland and other, cities gath
ered samples of milk from the
dairymen on their routes and
sent the samples to the fair for
testing for purity, butterfat,
Bolids other than butterf at, bac
teria, flavor and odor.
The musical programme of the 1915
Rose Festival is fast taking on shape,
and while it may be necessary to make
some changes in details, the general
plan has been agreed upon.
"As previously announced, it Is tne
purpose of the board of governors to
produce a festival that will De a les-
tival in spirit and truth, and I Intend
that this idea shall have lull swing
in the musical part of the general pro
gramme, said S. C fler, chairman oi
the music and properties committee.
I propose to have erected a number
of music stands, located in and near
the business center, to be beautifully
decorated with roses and the National
f colors. From these stands vocal, band
and orchestra music will be rendered
alternately throughout the day and
evening, each performance appearing
upon the daily programme of events.
With this plan carried out 'there will
be something musical taking place
nearly every hour of the day and even
ing." Professor Cowen Busy Blow.
"Professor J. H. Cowen has been
chosen as superintendent of the vocal
music of the festival and Is a busy
man these days lining up the vocal
end of the work. Professor Cowen asks
for the hearty co-operation of all music
leaders and lovers 6f music that the
vocal part of Oregon's great festival
may be made a grand find impressive
affair,' worthy of our great state and
city." -The
vocal programme as outlined will
be as follows: -
Wednesday, June 9 'Children's day'
singing and Illustrative festival figures
throughout the day at the diflerent
stands and a big event of 4000 school
children in chorus work and emblem
atic figures at Multnomah Field. The
evening event will be a grand opening
choral concert at the Armory.
Thursday, June 10 "Scholastic day,"
in which glee clubs from the Oregon
colleges and high schools will occupy
the stands, alternate with bands and
orchestras, closing the day with a
grand community sing of 4000 adult
voltes at Multnomah Field.
Choirs Have Friday,
Friday, .Tune 11 Choral Society day."
During the day choral societies and
choirs of repute will occupy the stands
and furnish the music, closing the last
day with a grand festival cantata of
300 or more trained voices, led by Pro
fessor Cowen at the Armory.
It also is planned to give short sings
by single and double quartets and mu
sical clubs in the lobbies and parlors
of all the prominent hotels ot the city.
This plan has been tried out In other
festival cities and has proved a catchy
"stunts," adding to the festival spirit.
"Many musical leaders and organiza
tions already have signified their in
tention to take part, and it is my hope
that every Oregon singer and lover of
music will join hands with us in the
greatest musical outburst Oregon has
ever enjoyed," said Mr. Pier, "The
general programme of band and or
chestra musio is arranged to work al
ternately with the vocal events. The
music is only a small part of the grand
Hose Festival scheme the directors
have in view that will show Oregon
to the tourist and visitor In her most
beautiful dress and In her gayest fes
tival spirit."

Rogers and the woman, confident of
her acquittal of the chnrve of killing
her babies, plan to start life anw. The
woman has been told of the determina

The outlook In the way of earning a

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray,
Faded Hair Dark and
Glossy.
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Weytb's Sage and
Sulphur Compound. You will get a
large bottle for about 50 cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be
cause no one can possibly tell that you
darkened your hair, as It does it so
naturally and evenly. You dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time; by morning the
gray - hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes Deautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you look years younger.'
