Rose Window Displays.
Street decorations for the 1915 Rose
Festival are the most elaborate in the
history of the city. For weeks elec
tricians have been at work and thou
sands of feet of streamers are' ready to
go in place. The huge electrical cur
tain and canopy, hangins baskets, pen
nants, flags and bunting will all be in
place early on the morning of June 9
It is possible some of the electrical fea
tures will be displayed Tuesday night.
Festival governors have covered
large portion of the city in the gen
eral plan of decoration, but are appeal
inpr to civic pride in the work of beauti
tying- public buildings and the rest
dence districts by the use of the festi
val colors, red and white, and Ameri
can flags. It is urged all nags De in
place early Wednesday morning.
Jacob Kanzler yesterday announced
the appointment of a committee repre
senting several of the leading ciuds ana
organizations of the city, the purpose
of which will be to urge the display of
roses in all down-town store windows.
Mr. Kanzler says directors of the fiesta
hope to cover Oak, Stark, Washington,
Alder and Morrison streets, between
Frst and Tenth streets.
Club Representatives Chosen.
In this work the Transportation Club
will be represented by K. W. Mosher
and W. C. McBride, the Realty Board
by Lewis Mead and Waldo Stewart, the
Ad Club by Gordon Raymond and D. CJ.
Hubbell, the Rotary Club by H. E. Weed
and L A. Spangler and the Progressive
Business Men's Club by C. W. Krtz and
H. G. Iiffinger.
The 1915 pian of decoration Is out
lined by Mr. Kanzler as follows:
The Festival center is located in the park
blocks immediately south of the Arlington
Olub buildine. Practically all of the Festival
activities -will radiate about this center and
inasmuch as the center is somewhat removed
from the business district it was necensary
to establish a grand promenade through the
heart of the business part of the city to this
center.
The plan of street decorations has been
worked out to meet this situation. It was
deemed appropriate to connect the new
Chamber of Commerce headquarters with
the Festival center by a beautifully deco
rated avenue, since the Rose Festival here
after will be an annual function of the
activities of the Chamber.
Start Is at Commercial Club.
The route selected for the promenade be
gins at the Commercial Club building, run
ning westward on Oak. street to Broadway,
thence south on Broadway for eight blocks
to Main street. Turning at Main street
westward one block to the fiesta center.
The main decorations on the East Side
will be on Grand avenue between Haw
thorne and Bumslde streets. This plan was
followed out to make a proper setting for the
children's parade June 0, the opening
pageant of the fiesta as well as for the flo
ral parade, which will counter-march on this
avenue June 10.
The urand-avenue decorations will con
sist of the official Hose Festival pennant
of red and white, large American flags and
red, white and blue bunting sweeps. All
poles on Grand avenue will be painted white,
to give a column effect. This scheme of
decoration will form an archway of bunt
ing, flags and pennants, four to a block,
giving Grand avenue a most effective festive
appearance.
Bridges to Be Outlined.
The bridge decorations will be electrical
only. The huge arches of the Hawthorne.
Morrison, urnside and Broadway bridges
are to be outlined with myriads of electric
lights, thus giving the harbor a prominent
part in the 1915 plan of decoration. City
and County Commissioners are co-operating
to place the bridge lighting for the Fes
tival in a most effective manner.
The East and West Hide decorations wilj
he tied together by flag-decorated streets.
Beginning on Grand avenue with East Haw
thorne, East Morrison and East Burnside,
the-e streets will lead over the lighted
bridges to the grand promenade on the
West Side and thus direct to the Festival
renter. Flag decorations on Morrison and
Washington streets will extend as far west
as Tenth street.
Portland and the Festival Association are
Indeed fortunate that Thlrd-streeters have
taken such an interest in their thoroughfare
for the great permanent arches already there
will form ono of the leading features in
the entire decoration plan. Strangers here
for fiesta week no doubt will think these
arches were erected especially for the Sum
mer carnival. Festival pennants, flag deco
rations and bunting also will add to the
festival appearance of Third street. First,
Fourth and Fifth streets will have flag
decorations.
Band Stand to Be Decorated.
Sixth street will have an. octagonal band
land at the intersection of Sixth and OflK
streets, over which will be placed an elabo
rate electric canopy. The stand will also
he decorated with cedar festoons and bunt
ing. The two central features of the grand
promenade decorations will be the hanging
electric curtain, which will be suspended
across Broadway from the Benson Hotel
and the Immense electrical canopy at Main
and Broadway, which marks the turning
point to the Festival center. The curtain
will be about SO feet wide and 40 feet high,
ufiner hundreds of colored lights. From six
draping points will be suspended especially
designed electric lamps which will con
stantly Hash all tints and shades of color.
The electric canopy will be suspended
from overhead cables, more than 40 feet
above the street. Two 30-foot poles have
been securely anchored to hold this canopy
in place. It will weigh about 1400 pounds
and will he constructed so as to resemble
a huge open umbrella. Hundreds of col
ored lights will outline its framework. The
canopy also will be decorated with hanging
baskets of flowers and shrubbery, cedar
festoons and pennants. At the end of each
of the eight ribs of the canopy will be a
great electric globe flashing all colors ot
the rainbow.
Thousand!! of Peonies to Be Used.
The cluster light lamp posts along the
grand promenade on Oak street and Broad
day were painted white to give the street
a co!onnale effect and provide a better
background for the hanging floral decora
tions, which will be suspended from each
lamp post.
The top globe on each cluster light will
be equipped with an ever-changing flashing
colored light. This feature alone would
give the grand promenade a pleasing effect.
Electric streamers and pennants will con
stitute tho remainder of the promenade
decorations. At the Festival center the de
partment of decorations will provide'stream
ers of electric lights in Japanese lanterns
scattered throughout the park blocks. The
grandstand from which the chorus of 40oo
voices will be heard In concert will be
brilliantly illuminated. About the stand will
be massed thousands of blooming peonies
through the courtesy of II. E. Weed, ot the
Beaverton nursery.

Mail Swindler Ts Jailed.
W. E. Fox entered a plea of guilty
yesterday in Federal Court to a charge
of having used the mails to defraud
and was smtenced to serve three
months in the County Jail. Fox, who
used the alias of Bennett, was arrested
last January at rallas. He was ac
cused of having placed advertisements
in various newspapers of the Pacific
' Northwest offering positions to credu
lous people, a fee being- required from
applicants. Upon receipt of applica
tions and fees. It was charged that he
showed no further interest in securing
the" positfons promised.

Ah A
NOT far from the heart of residen
tial London there is an old-fashioned
mansion remodeled Into
modern comfort, cosy nooks, and with a
wonderful ballroom that has a high
stone wall about its spacious grounds.
Flowers in abundance, shrubbery and
even fine old towering trees grow
there within the walls, and in the
midst of all there are swans swimming
regally about the surface of a mirror
ing lake among ducks of gay plumage,
cranes and other water birds. A great
aviary protects smaller birds of many
kinds from many lands.
Such is the "rest place" and the
working studio of Mile. Anna Pavlowa,
the Russian prima ballerina assoluta.
whom all the world calls the greatest
danseuse that history remembers. In
this home she plans to spend a portion
of each vear more in the labor of de-
j vising new ballets and dances to de
light the critical world than In rest,
for it is told by those of the inner cir
cle that "Pavlowa never rests." She is
called "The Indefatigable One" by her
friends.
From a close study of the swans on
her little, carefully hidden lake, lasting
over many weeks, Anna Pavlowa drew
the inspiration for her divertissemenr,
"The Swan," a dance that has become
a famous classic and has been more pic
tured than any painting taken from a
dance pose in history. The original,
painted by John Lavery, was pur
chased by the' British government and
hangs in the National OJallery. Critics
have claimed- that in the first proud
grace of the pictured swan and its
final drooping to rest, Anna Pavlowa
lias given her greatest work of art.
Another of the great Russian's almost
equally well known numbers, "La Pa
pillon" (The Butterfly), resulted from a
study- of the swarming butterflies In
Pavlowa's out-of-doors. Still a third
dance. "The Dragon Fly," found its in
spiration here. Fluttering wtih twin
kling toes, from flower to flower about
the stage Pavlowa is credited in this
art work, as in each of those previously
named, with having created a living
representation that could not possibly
fail to carry to the observer a complete
recognition of the creature set before
him. A.nd from this garden will come
other dance dreams to please the world
so long as there is Pavlowa, who never
rests.
PUPILS SHOW ARTWORK
EXHIBIT AT MUSEUM IS EVIDENCE
OF CAKEFCL TRAINING.
Development la Block Designing Evi
dent In Clever Posters and
Commercial Articles.
Distinctive and interesting in every
way is the public school exhibition of
art which has been on for a week at
the Museum of Art, Fifth and Taylor.
The work of approximately 3500 pupils
of the elementary and high schools is
shown in design and crafts problems.
The whale is the outcome of a careful
system of training which is on the
same basis as the systems of large
Eastern public schools' art training.
A feature of the high school share of
the exhibition is the fact that the art
and domestic art departments have
worked in unison, and the knowledge
and skill gained in drawing is put to
practical use in the sewing problems
of the students. Interesting applied
designs are exhibited in weaving, book
binding, metal work, jewelry, textiles
and leather. Another section of the ex
hibition features the development of
the block print design from prelim
inary drawings from naturalistic flow
ers to the final application of .the block
print ' to the material. A' number of
clever posters are exhibited and sev
eral pieces of commercial work give
evidence of originality.
Exceptional work has been done in
the elementary .grades, and nearly
every" child In the schools Is repre
sented. Several score of carefully cut
stencils are on the mounts. The little
folks have taken special interest in
bird and animal forms. In many cases
an entire mount has been devoted to
the work of one child who takes un
usual interest in the work and-who will
often pass hours out of school design
ing. Crafts work is not lacking in the
exhibition. Artistic basketry, weaving
and stenciling on paper and textiles
cover a wide range of .the year's study.
The exhibition will, close today, but
another large exhibition is being pre
pared by Miss Esther Wuest, superin
tendent of art in the public schools,
which will be opened probably early in
the Fall.
Without an arched support or central pier
a single span concrete bridge 64 feet long,
strong enough for -the heaviest vehicle traf
fic, has been built in Illinois.

FIREWORKS AT THE OAKS
DISPLAYS ARRANGED FOR THCRS.
DAY AXD SATURDAY SIGHTS.
More Than oOOO Persona ICipected to
Visit Amusement Park Har
bor Patrol to Aid.
The big fireworks displays for. Thurs
day and Saturday at the Oaks Amuse
ment Park promise- to be one of the
most conspicuous feature of the Rose
Festival.
They will begin at 9 o'clock and are
promised to surpass anythine of the
kind hitherto shown at The Oaks.
No grandstand will be built this
year except the one for Festival roy
alty." Scarcely more than 5000 - persons
could be seated in the grandstands that
were erected in the past. Yet this 6000
was sufficient to blank out completely
many thousands in the rear. Last year
more people failed to see the display
than actually succeeded in witness
ing it.
Mr. Cordray is confident, therefore,
that his plan of leaving the whole
view from the lawns unimpeded will be
successful. This will permit an unob
structed view of the fireworks from
any part of The Oaks.
The harbor patrol will keep the
river clear of small craft while the
display, which will be from specially
constructed floats in front of the park,
is under way.
