Plea Made for Sacredness of

DIVORCE ALSO CONDEMNED
m.ifflit Rev. Walter T. Sumner Mem
ber of International Commit
tee Seeking to Increase Dig
nity of Wedded State. '
Burlesque marriages. Intended to
muse or performed for any other
reason, are not only in the height of
bad taste but are a. blow at the tsaered
ness of the marriage relation, declares
.Bishop Walter T. Sumner, of the Epis
copal Diocese of Oregon. He gave this
opinion yesterday when asked to dis
cuss the work of the International Com
mittee on Marriages and Divorce, of
which he Is a member.
Bishop Sumner said that because he
is a new comer to Oregon and is not
jet familiar with the laws of this
ftate, he would prefer not to enter into
criticism of conditions here. His re
jnurks were Intended to apply to the
divorce question generally.
"There ia great laxity with reference
to the 'sacrament' of marriage, for it
Is regarded as a 'sacrament' by our
church," said Bishop Sumner. "This
laxity as regards the marital relation
Is because of uninformed or indifferent
public opinion. The sanctity of mar
riage is the vital foundation of social
and moral order and anything that
seems to surround it with a lack of
dignity, solemnity and sacredness is to
be condemned.
Public Conscience Held Nerd.
"I am so new here In Portland that 1
have hesitated about criticising certain
occasions recently which have seemed
to belittle the whole idea of marriage
and its sacred nature. 1 refer to the
mock marriages that have taken place
in connection with entertainments and
various public observances.
"A public conscience, based on per
sonal righteousness, is the safeguard
of our social order. Anything which,
even unintentionally, breaks down pub
lic opinion is unfortunate. The sacra
ment of marriage is too sacred to be
burlesqued or made common by mock
ceremonies.
"I believe the International Commit
tee on Marriage and Divorce is doing
considerable work throughout the
country to remind people of the sacred
ness of marriage, the need' for greater
care In marital selection and the mis
fortunes which come from divorce."
This committee held an executive
session and luncheon at the Hotel
I'la.a. San Francisco, Monday, April
18, at which arrangements were made
for an educational exhibit in connec
tion with Investigations carried on
during the past year. The committee
was formed a year ago. with head
quarters In New York City, Chicago
and San Francisco.
Investigations BflaK Made.
The committee has been conducting
systematic investigations into the con
ditions among various states and has
crone over marriage and divorce rec
ords with the object of comparing pres
ent customs. This preliminary work
has been more than statistical. They
have gone into the history of many di
vorce cases, only to find that many
divorces aro obtained in states where
frivolous excuses permit, and if nec
essary, in order to marry again im
mediately, a trip has been taken to
some state where the laws are lax
enough to permit of immediate mar
riage to other parties.
The international committee hopes to
etart a world-wide movement for the
improvement of conditions as regards
divorce. Fraud, as it enters into mar
riage and divorce, is also to be at
tacked, and other evils will be done
away with to the fullest possible ex
tent. It is the plan of the commit
tee to secure the passage of a Fed
eral law, covering all the states, mak
ing practice uniform as regards marital
relations in the courts.

vorably struck by one house, whose
patriotic owner had invested in a coat
of gray paint.
"It's pretty," thought George. "Won
der how I'd look in gray?"
The thought was father to the deed.
In the basement of the residence
George found half a barrel of oozy
gray paint, ready mixed, that had been
left bv the workmen that day. Tipping
over the barrel, George waited until
large pool had gathered on the base

Indians Will Participate in All Pa
' rati.es and Will Give ' Several
Special Kiitertalnments for
Rose Show Visitors.
Portland will receive more attention
from the famous Blackfeet Indians dur
ing the .Rose Festival. June 9-U, than
San Francisco has received at her Ex
position. Not only will the members
of the tribe who are now in San Fran
cisco come to Portland at that time,
but several others who are now on the
reservation at Glacier National Park
will join their fellows in Portland and
participate in the festivities of the
week.
Chief Three Bears, the oldest member
of the tribe, and Joe Bad Marriage, a
young chieftain, were in Portland last
week to wait upon the Rose Festival
Board and make preliminary arrange
ments for the visit that they are to
make to Portland.
The tepees of the tribe will be pitched
on the Park Blocks near the Festival
Center and the Indians will partici
pate In all of the parades, and will
give-several special entertainments for
Festival visitors on their own initia
tive. The Blackfeet Indians were in Port
land at the Festival two years ago
and attracted wide attention at that
time. Afterward they visited all of the
principal cities of the East.
It was planned to send them for a
European tour this, year, but the out
break of hostilities in the old world
prevented the carrying out of this
plan.
Louis Hill has been their chief patron
in their travelings, which have been
for the purpose of attracting general
attention to the Glacier National Park.
He is himself a member of the tribe.

1. C. Bollore, Wounded. Five. Times
in French Service at Boxer Up
rising, IjOscs Five Brothers
and Three Brothers-in-Law.
War's horrors and the sacrifices that
war entails have been brought home to
J. C. Bollore, of Portland, who has lost
five brothers, three brothers-in-law
and innumerable cousins and more dis
tant relatives in the -conflict in Eu
rope, leaving hini as "the sole means of
support for his surviving" sisters," his
brothers' wives and their families.
Right now Mr. Bollore is supporting 21
of his relatives in France and Belgium.
But Mr. Bollore himself is a fighting
man, and he bears the terrible toll that
the war has laid against him and ac
cepts the attending financial burden
with grim philosophy. I
The Bollores are a fighting family in
France and for many generations have
held high position . in the army and
navy. Mr. Bollore himself was gradu
ated from the French naval academy
and held a lieutenancy in the French
navy at the time of the Boxer uprising
in China. He sav active service there
and was wounded five time once in
the head, once in the left shoulder,
once in each leg and in an. arm. A
part of his scalp was 'torn away and.
as a result, he wears a silver plate in
his head, which, however, is entirely
covered with skin.
Medal AVon for Bravery.
He was awarded a medal of honor
by the French government for. bravery
in the Chinese engagements. ' Soon
thereafter he left the service and came
to America. He has been here for 11
years, and for about six . months has
been a resident of Portland. He is en
gaged in the real estate business In
the Lewis, building. A few years ago
he became naturalized as an American
citizen, but at the outbreak of the war
he was tempted to return to France and
re-enter the navy. : Now he realizes.

HEADQUARTERS OP METHODIST SETTiRME'T WORK AT FIRST
AND CARt'THERS STREETS.
Under the auspices of the Women's Home Missionary , Society of
the Methodist Churches, an Industrial home has been established in
South Portland and an able man Rev. Philllpp Deschner, of Boston
has come to this city to take charge of the work, which will Include a.
kindergarten, a sewing class, settlement and industrial work and re
ligious Instruction. Mrs. Deschner will be the assistant and will have
the little children, and especially the girls, under her supervision.
The new superintendent is a graduate of Central Western and Bos
ton colleges and has several degrees. His wife is a college-bred
woman and well fitted for social settlement work. The Portland In
dustrial Home will be supported by the Women's Missionary Society
of the Methodist Church.

though, that he can be of greater serv
ice to his family by. remaining here
and laboring so they may live.
The father of tho Portland man was
a Colonel in the French army at the
time of the Prussian invasion in 1870.
At present an uncle is a Vice-Admiral
in the French navy; another uncle is a
member of General Joffre's staff, and
a third uncle is attached to the staff
of the French Minister of War.
The war seems to have been partic
ularly cruel to the immediate members
of Mr, Bollore's family. Four of his
brothers, officers in the French army,
were killed in the earlier engagements
in Northern France last August, when
the Germans attempted their rush on
Paris, and a fifth brother was taken
prisoner. This latter brother was op
erated upon five times in the German
hospitals, and . since February 22 no
word has been had from him.
Three Sisters Made Widows.
Mr. Bollore has three sisters, all mar
ried. The. husband of each one of them
has been killed. So the duty of sup
porting the families ef his five broth
ers and his three sisters now devolves

upon the Portland man. but he cheer
fully faces this enormous duty.
Recent letters from his uncles indi
cate to Mr. Bollore that the French are
planning an offensive campaign against
the Germans to begin in July or Au
gust. It was planned at first to begin
such a movement in May, but for some
reason action has been delayed.
"I read the Paris papers every day,"
he explains, "and find that the news
that they contain in no way coincides
with the American press reports from
LoiKlon and Berlin. I believe nothing
that I see coming from Berlin and little
that Mromes from London."
-tierman Supplies Thought Short.
Recent .letters from his uncles, he
says. Indicate that the Germans are
running short of copper used in mak
ing their bombs and explosive shells.
Fully 60 per cent of the German shells,
the report says, fail to explode. So
thick is the ground in the war zone
with unexploded shells, fragments of
shells, and spent bullets that farmers
have been unable to send their plows
through the soil this Spring.
Mr. Bollore's opinion of the war is
that General Joffrjs is saving his men
for a final desperate attack against the
Germans this Summer. - He notes, he
says, that the German losses have been
much heavier than the French. He
says that all the French advices con
tain a growing suspicion that the Brit
ish army is allowing the French to do
the burden of fighting. So far as the
firial outcome is concerned, Mr. Bollore
believes - that neither side will gain
a decisive victory, but that the allies
will' have an advantage.
. 4000 TeacJiers Apply.
: Nearlj- 4000 applications have poured
in to the School Board f rom teachei s
who want positions in the local schools
for the coming year. The election will
be held May 20.- There are many more
applications than positions that will
be open as fewer resignations have
been, listed than in previous years. The
applications come from many parts of
the country as well as abroad. School
authorities recognize that many
making application here also file else
where for similar positions,' '

DEMOCRATIC SUPPORT OF SUF

Southern Woman Writes That First
Step Is to Grt Declaration From
Organization In Power.
Miss Virginia Arnold, who represents
the Congressional Union in Portland,
has received a letter from Miss Kate
M. Gordon, president of the Southern
Woman Suffrage Association, in which
she says:
"We believe that 'the first step in
our campaign is to get the Democratic
party to commit itself to suffrage. We
believe this is an essential step before
any of the State Legislatures will sub
mit. "As the president, the most distin
guished exponent of the party, has in
terpreted as an essential that the 'or
ganic body' speak, does it not become
the duty of every Southern man and
woman to leave no stone unturned to
secure a party declaration of faith in
'votes for women)?' Failing to do this,
where does the party record itself? It
will place the party in an unenviable
position of using a party shibboleth of
states rights as a cloak to defeat the
extension of human liberty to the
women of their own race and fireside,
as charged in the old issue, that it
was used to conceal the perpetuation
of human slavery."
Miss Gordon is ' editor of the New
Southern Citizen, the official organ of
the Southern States Woman Suffrage
Conference. Associated with Miss Gor
don in her work for Southern suffrage
is a woman of National reputation,
Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, also a South
erner and a believer in party responsi
bility. ' Mrs. Belmont is honorary vice
president of the Southern Suffrage As
sociation and is also on the National
advisory council of the Congressional
Union. For -years she -has been noted
for her generous financial support of
the cause of woman suffrage through
her gifts to the National American
Woman Suffrage Association. the
Southern States Woman Suffrage Con
ference and the Congressional Union.
Some, years ago Miss Gordon visited
Oregon and held suffrage meetings In
this state.

Only $1. 50 for repairs

merely one of hundreds of records sent
to us by satisfied users. Think of it 45,000
miles with only $1.50 for upkeep! This is
not an isolated record all over the country
CASE Cars' arc known for their economy.
It is just such economy as this that proves
two things:
1. The "Hidden Values" of the CASE Car
give it that remarkable vitality that with
stands troubles.
2. It costs less ia the lonsr run than other
cars of its class, and no more than higher
priced cars.
Have you seen the new CASE Car? Do you
fully appreciate how much money this famous
car is saving for its thousands of owners?
If not, we would suggest that you become
acquainted with this vital information. It will
mean saving where you otherwise might
spend it will mean satisfaction where other
wise you might be continually annoyed.
Costs Less
We maintain that you pay
less for the CASE Car at first
regardless of its later econ
omy because we include in
its equipment the accessories
you'll have to buy later. Such
as exfra tir coming and ex
tra inner tub on rim with
cover. Weed non-mkid firm
chain and eight-day clock.
Including this extra, equip
ment the price is only $1350
S discount if cash. As you
know, you'd have to add the
price of these accessories to
the price of any other car.
Another Saving
What we save in selling ex
penses goes into the car in
better material and workman
ship. For CASE Cars are
sold by our ready-organized
sales organization. For 72
years we have been in the
field so CASE Cars carry
no undue burden of selling
charges.
It wouldn't take vou long
to take a "first look" at the
CASE. So why not come in
today? We are always glad
to explain its superiorities.
