Mine Floats Asses g Children. A Orman mine washed no on the beach here a few days ago. I saw them taking It Into the coast-guard station. Fortunately It did not explode and kill any of the adorable, chubby - legged babies who were wading in tha surf when It appeared In their midst. On Saturday I was talking to a sailor man who was on shore leave because his battleship had been submarined. For two hours after tha torpedo struck them he hardly expected to ever be on leave again. Each man grabbed a lifebelt and a rafter1 and ho got bis shore leave all rivht. His nephews and nieces were very glad he did. ss he was building them perfectly splendid fortifications out of sand and a real model of the Sues Ca nau i nere was grief when tba re morseless tide came and washed them out. I didn't have the heart to take blm off to play golf with me. He bad been two days ashore In a year. Thera Is a good deal of upsidedown- Bean about the social scale Just now, and certainly nobody cares. 1 heard of a case where the master of the house was a private, and his parlor maid's "young man" was a captain In the aame regiment. The private said: "The captain's a Jolly fine fellow and got promotion for distinguished service In the field, and If he wants to turn me out of my own drawing-room and make love to the parlor maid he's quite welcome to." A distinguished tarrlster Is delight ed to wheel a wheelbarrow in the yards of a munition works, thus re leasing a skilled workman to go In side the works. Ariaeevrata Vrrak Fleers. Lots of aristocratic women, who would Ilka to be nurses but have not tha necessary training, are only too glad to be ward-maid, and scrub the hospital floors until they can pick up enough knowledge and experience to take a higher place. No one despises the lower step these days. The kind of woman who early on In this war rushed madly Into a hospital and Insisted on washing each soldier's face and "kissing him for his mother." Is not la demand any more. It Is a long, uphill path of hard work before wo reach the goal and are allowed to wash a soldier's face, and "hlastnar blm for his mother" simply Is not done. 1 believe their faces were getting quite worn out. I think one of the saddest things I ever heard Is related by a war nurse Sister Marttn-Nlrhotfon. She was on daty at a base hospital In France and one of the wounded and dying soldiers ' called her to him. "I'm dvina-. nurse, am I not?" "I nodded. - "Then you will do something for " tneT" "I nodded again."

TI.1L BOOM SICCEEDS, LACKING. abetltatesa ef llllaela Man Meai Seeking fer Piaaaireta te Gain, bat Vatea af State ta Laae. OREGO.N1AN NEWS BUREAU. Wash- nrton. Aug. 14. Some kind friend has lunched a Vice-Presidential boom for Senator James Ksmiiton Lewis, of lllnols. Senator Lewis is not responsi ble, and Indeed it is not known that e Is flattered, but the suggestion has been made, and no doubt will lead to some speculation. Senator James Hamilton Lewis la he Ivmocratlc whip of the Senate, t Is his duty to get out the Democra tic Senators when their presence Is neceessry for Important votes and on ther Important occasions: it is ms uty to find out how the ' Democratic Senatora Intend to vote on prty and Administration measures, and it also Is part of his duty to rush to the sup port of the Administration when It Is too severely assailed ty tne opposi- lots. The Job Is to his liking; It gives him especial prominence, and the work Is congenial. Moreover. Senator Lewis as been In Congress long enourn to realise that the man In the Vlce-l'resi- encr Is shelved, and seldom has any political future. And no one haa yet suspected that Senator Lewis is get- ing ready to retire rrom politics. So far as the politics of the thing a concerned, the Democrats would gain ttie bv substituting an Illinois man for an Indiana man on the ticket with Wilson. There are more votes In lllnols than In Indians, to be sure. but If Tom Marshall Is sidetracked. In- iim will resent the turning down f Marshall, and will be the more dif ficult for the Democrats to carry. lllnols. on the other hand, not De- na- on the last ticket, will have little reason to feel affronted If her favorite son Is not nominated as Wilson's run- ins mate In 11. especially If Senator Lewis Is not or does not become an vowed candidate for tha Vlce-Fresl- dsntlal nomination. . Possible Deficit at End of Year la Faced, and City May Hare to Suspend Payment of Bills In January. With many difficult problems staring them In the f nee, members of the City Council will start within a short time the preparation of the annual budget of proposed expenditures for 191. The budget estimates must be completed and In the hands of the Auditor by the nrst Monday In October. After that the Council will consider the budgets and fix the tax levy for next year. '. Portland's tax levy will be high probably higher than any year In the PV- This will be due to the fact that the lew for the present year waa cut down to such a point that there win be no surplus of funds, and possibly a deficit at the end of the fiscal year. December 1. It will be due also to the loss of about $300,000 In liquor li cense revenue, which heretofore haa been an annual asset. This amount next year will have to be made up by taxation. Owing to tha general demands or tha public for more economy in municipal affairs It Is very likely that there will be but little next year in the way of sneclal annroDriattona. While It la ex nected a number of appropriations will be sought by Individual members of the Council, it is considered certain that little if anything of big dlmen slons will ret by the Council. Saspeaalea Is Threatened. To helo out during the present year a large amount of money appropriated and Intended for special work such aa new Are engine houses, a detention home for women, and other proposed expendtlures. will have to be put Into the general fund to meet current ex penditures. Even with that the city will find a time arter January l wnen It will have to suspend payment of bills because of financial shortage. These appropriations will be sought n the budget for next year. Whether thev will be allowed Is a matter of conjecture. It Is probable also that the payroll of the city will ne gone Into and that many positions creaieo within the last two years will be lopped off and that Increases In the service will be discontinued and that special work will ba minimized for the year. For the present year the tax levy waa. 7.S mills. This was .t of a mill ower than the levy for 1S14. Thla cut waa made in spite of the loss of a great amount of liquor license revenue this year and a decrease In the city's assessed valuation. The cut. although resulting In slightly decreased taxa- ion ss fsr as th city was concerned hss resulted In the city being cast on ha financial rocks. Last year there was a balance of IS40.000 carried over to help out tha . 1914 appropriations. This vear In olace of that IS40.000 bal ance there Is prospect now of a def icit of, from 150.000 to xgo,ooo. Levy Ieereaee Seeeasary. The decrease means a much higher m v lew far next year unless the city airs In to go on the financial rocks. Tha need for more money from taxa tion next year will he greater tnan tne leed this year owing to tne iscx msa he cltv coneciea someLniiiK 000 in liquor license revenue this year, whereas there will not be a cent from this source next year. Commissioner Dieck has started the preparation of his budget. A series of conferences are being held by heads of bureaus In his department So far the only special appropriation definite ly decided upon Is 110.000 for a munici pal paving repair plant. Other Com missioners are preparing orders for their bureaus to get busy on the budget estimates. It Is pobable that the Coun cil this year will act as budget eom- ilttee. as it did last year.
