State Fair Good Roads Day Chairman Fixes Plans. Expostion of Work Done by Junior Pupils to Be Held in Library for Nine Days. TUESDAY IS TIME SET SCOPE TO BE EXTENSIVE Everything That Tends to Interest Youngsters Will Be Admitted and Parents Are Urged to Give Proper Encouragement. A state-wide "back-to-the-home campaign for children, launched by the Mothers' Congress and Parent-Teacher Association, will focus in October in a Junior exposition, to be held at the Central Library, where all articles made by children in their leisure time in the home environment, from the age of babyhood to lt years, will be ex hibited. This exhibit is scheduled to beg-in on October 2S and to continue to November 6. Junior exhibits in schools of the city will be held from now on until the time of the central exposition at the Library. These local exhibits will not occur upon the same dates, in order that all may have an opportunity of visiting as many exhibits as they may desire. One hundred and fifty women from the various Parent-Teacher circles were present at a meeting at the Li brary last week, presided over by O. M. Plummer. Mr. Plummer, who had been appointed chairman of the "back-to-the-home" committee by the presi dent of the Council of Parent-Teacher Associations, called the meeting that the committees of the various circles might confer with the council commit tee with regard t othe exposition plans. Scope Is Unlimited. Any and everything that shows a child's interest and plans will be ac cepted for the exhibit, whether it be m. work of art, or crude attempt at creation. This covers a wide scope, for it includes what the boy or girl under 16 years has learned to do be cause he or she liked to do it, either alone or with the help of another, such as building automobiles, airships, wire less stations, blrdhouses, boats, cook ing, baking, canning fruits or veg etables, sewing, embroidering, crochet ing, etc. The school children already are showing- an enthusiastic interest in the campaign, and are busily engaged dur ing their leisure hours in making arti cles for the exhibit. Parents have been urged to manifest an active interest along whatever line the child wishes to demonstrate his skill. ' Entry blanks will be sent to all the schools for dis tribution among the children. The local school exhibits will be for the purpose of enabling judges to select the best articles for the central exposi tion. Home Benefit Expected. This campaign is expected to mean more contentment at home, more capa bilities for the children, more inde pendence and reliance on their own ability. The work of the "back-to-the-home" committees will not stop with the exhibit, but will continue active in this campaign for as long a period as will be necessary to accomplish the desired result which is the realization by the child that the proper home environment and constructive use of leisure time are the two best agencies for true happiness. Dr. Anna Louise Strong, who has spoken before many of the circles of the city, came to Portland from Wash ington, D. C. sent by the Educational Bureau, to study and report what the Junior exhibit Is to be. Every effort Is being. made by those interested to help this report to be one worth while.

JOE HUTCHINSON and Dance In spector Flack were grumbling about the general run of events in Portland. "I don't like this business of a cow county Judge coming up here and deciding cases." said Hutchinson. ' L. A. Baumhover. of the Purchasing Bureau had been taking part in the discussion. He looked wise for a sec ond or two and then asked: "Where is Cow County?" E'lack later comforted the embar rassed Purchasing Clerk with the ex planation . that Hutchinson was "hand ing him a little bull." S. Grutze, clerk of the Council, took special pains to leave his new bath robe high up 6n the sand before taking a plunge in the water at the beach near Tahaats. The wind was cold and he wanted it nearby so he could climb into it quickly and yet he wanted it out of reach of the tide. , He took a fine swim and then hust led out. As he reached shallow water he saw some . unusual looking ob ject floating rapidly outward with the undercurrent. Expletives of the most expressive style failed to redeem the bathrobe and Grutze hurried through the cold wind half-a-mile to his dressing room. . L. S. Kaiser, water superintendent, was down in California on his vacation and for a day's trip planned to go Into the country about 40 miles. He was to drive one car and his brother-in-law another. The brother-in-law started out first at a lively, clip leaving Mm are familiar to them.

Only two property owners will be damaged by the proposed extension of Madrona street ' from the southwest corner of block 1, Woodlawn. to the westerly corner of block 4 of the same addition, according- to a report sub mitted to the Council yesterday by Commissioner Dieck. The extension has been urged by property holders of the vicinity. The report estimates that the prop erty of Herbert Kubik will be dam aged about $1600 and property of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company $350. -Dance Kaiser far behind. Kaiser hurried along as fast as he could until a town was reached. He had expected to find the other car waiting, but there was no sign of it so he took on more gas and and started out. "I'll catch him or bust," he said, as he struck a long level stretch of paved road and opened up for 35 miles an hour. He kept this up for nearly half an hour, but there was no sign of the other car. "Gosh, he must be going some," remarked Kaiser. Finally he reached the destination and and there was no sign of the other machine. A half hour later the second car arrived on the scene, havoing stop ped on a side street in the town behind to take ona cargo of icecream. On Mayor AJ bee's calling list is a man whom the Mayor has classed as a pest. He comes often, stays long, says nothing of consequence and eats garlic constantly, and he Is one of the kind that get up close when talking. The Mayor who is of a genial nature "hasn't the nerve to bounce him. but resorts to great strategy in keeping him from getting in. One day the Mayor in hurrying back from lunch was anxious to see City Attorney LaRoche. As the Mayor walked down the hall he saw the posterior view of a slightly bald head in his anteroom. "There's LaRoche now," he thought to himself. He went into his main office and then hustled out to the anteroom. Secretary Warren had Just about convinced the garlicky visitor that the Mayor was out and would not return when the Mayor broke in on the scene. IDENTITY IS LACKING Trainmen Cannot Say Taylor Held Them Up. HEIGHT DOES NOT TALLY Evidence Against Suspect Received From Outside Sources and Man Who Has Kept Watch Reports Seeing "Soup" Mixed VTp. OREGON CITY. Sept. 25. (Special.) Four trainmen that James Taylor, now held in the Clackamas County Jail, is alleged to have held up, came to Ore gon City today, but were unable posi tively to Identify the prisoner as the man who looted the three cars. The trainmen are Conductors Reed, of the Mount Tabor line. Kaiser, of the Wood stook line, and Moore of the Oregon City line, and Motorman Cooper, of the Oregon City line. Taylor took the entire proceeding quietly and asked many questions about the crimes he is supposed to have com mitted. Mr. Cooper declared that the highwayman was so completely masked that all he could see was the light colored raincoat with the white spot, the black mask, the tips of the man's fingers and his eyes. Taylor held out his hands. "Did his hands look like those?" he asked. Mr. Cooper said after surveying Taylor carefully that he thought Taylor was taller than the holdup man. The Portland carmen came to the same con clusion. They were unable to identify Taylor by his voice. Taylor to Be Held. Taylor will be held in the County Jail without a charge being made against him until Monday. In the mean time Sheriff Wilson, working with Spe cial Agents McShane and Cutture, of the Southern Pacific, and Special Agent Lillis, of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, are carefully going over every phase of the case. The small caliber revolver, which Taylor is alleged to have used in the three car robberies and later given to a Milwau kie man, was procured today and is held by the Sheriff. None of the train men was able to say definitely that this was the gun used. Information received today has more strongly convinced the special agents and the Sheriff that Taylor was pre paring for a "Job" when arrested last night. He wore a pair of overalls over his regular clothing, a dark slouch hat and a black hankerchief around his neck when taken by Sheriff Wilson and Special Agent Cutture near the river bank. Mixture of "Soup" Reported. William Doyle, an employe of the Silver Falls Timber Company, who kept a watch on Taylor's shanty for six weeks preceding his arrest, is said to have seen him mix a quantity of "soup" yesterday. A ten-ounce bottle of nitro glycerine was found under a rock near Taylor's shanty. When Taylor gave the 22-caliber re volver to the Milwaukie man. whose name is withheld, he is said to have remarked that he was through with it in this part of the country for a while and that he was going north and would return rate in the Summer. When ar rested Taylor was asked where he had spent the Summer and he is said to have replied that he was in the Pueet Sound country. Officials believe that he may have been responsible for sev eral "Jobs" near Seattle and Tacoma In August. Taylor smiles almost continuously and is willing to talk about any sub ject, except the charges against him. M0LALLA STUDENTS MANY Hlg-h School Attendance Jumps From 2 7 to 6 5 in Two Years. MOLALLA.

Meier, president of the Co lumbia Highway Association, has been chosen chairman of Good Roads day at the Oregon State Fair September 28. Invitations have been sent to Gover nor Withycombe. Secretary of State Olcott and Secretary of the Treasury Kay. constituting the Highway Com mission, and to S. Benson, L. Butler and J. H. Albert, members of the ad visory board to the State Highway Commission, to be among the honored guests on the platform the day of the meeting. Samuel Lancaster, who laid out the Columbia Highway from Portland to the eastern line of Multnomah County, and J. B. Yeon. Multnomah's Road master, have hoth agreed to be among the speakers at the conference. 'Invitations have been sent to many others interested in good roads devel opment work in Oregon. Leading; Workers Are Invited. "In accepting the chairmanship of Good Roads day at the Fair," said President Meier, of the Highway Asso ciation, yesterday, "I did so with the purpose of trying to develop the best possible thought for procedure in Ore gon. I have requested the leading workers from different parts of the state to meet. "There are two principles for pro cedure before the state in good roads work. One contemplates the trunk line, that will serve through traffic, and accommodate the traveler who seeks to enter or leave the state on long drives. Under this head Is found the scenic argument, "The second and greatest thought is in providing the means for marketing the farm product, and getting to the farm its requirements at the lowest possible cost. No stat i can progress without furnishing this facility. Propaganda Spread Is Sought. "In meeting this requirement, the roads 'will have to extend from the producing center to the trunk highway, railway, river, or large marketing cen ter. It is this type of roadwork which the Grange has stood for, as dis tinguished from the trunk lines. It seems clear to me that the farmer and the advocate of the trunk line will have to get together and agree upon that plan of procedure which a ma jority of all interested think best. And when we have agreed upon a plan, in dorsed by a majority, then it is time to do something. "Unless the doctrine of good roads takes more rapidly than In the past years, I believe some pronounced plan for spreading the propaganda will have to be devised. At our conference, I trust that ideas covering all these points will be presented." One of the big attractions for Good Roads day at the Fair Tuesday will be the beautiful natural color pictures of Henry Berger, Jr., as presented by himself and A. I. Jones. WOODMEN SHOW SUCCESS Awards Made for Entries of Flowers Are Announced.

GUARD IS TERMED LODGE Genej-al White, at Smoker, Explains New Aspect of Organization. At a smoker given by Company E at the Armory Tuesday night Adjutant General George A. White, who was one of the speakers, took occasion to score the old-style militiamen who thought "that since he was in the military serv ice he should be considered a martyr to ttie public service." "The man who whines and continu ally complains as a member of th Na tional Guard is obsolete." continued General White. "The men who are now in the National Guard are the sort that take up military service because they find it both pleasant and profitable. It is their lodge and hobby. In fact, there Is no lodge or fraternal organi zation that offers as many compensa tions as does the National Guard." The smoker was attended by 75 men and Captain Porter, of E Company, out lined the work that he intends his company shall take up during the Win ter. Colonel James Jackson and Colonel C. McLauchlan .were other speakers. KELSO ROAD NEARLY READY Speeders Said to Be Taking Advan tage of Improvement. KELSO. Wash., Sept. 25. (Special.)

FtYXX EXERCISING TO STIMtLATK VESSELS OK HEART AM) Lt.VtiS. WEARL FLYNN, who has won wide recognition as a health lecturer, last night closed a suc cessful two weeks' educational cam paign. He starts tonight on his third week, and from every indication it will be hard work to get a seat any night this week, as his subjects are all new. Lectures are given every night at 8 o'clock and ever afternoon at 2:50, starting Tuesday. Mr. Flynn calls this visit to Port land his tenth anniversary, aa It was ten years ago that this movement was started in this city. The church was first attractive to Mr. Flynn through his successful work in schools, universities and clubs. It was during his lecture engagements for the Y. M. C. A. and clubs In Portland many years ago that he was invited to lecture before the ministers of this city. Educational CampalKn Beffnn. It so impressed them that they were aroused to the importance of the church giving more attention to the care of the body. To accomplish this, Mr. Flynn was asked to conduct a cam paign under the auspices of the Minis terial Association. It proved a great success, 2Q00 attending the ttrst meet ing. Dr. J. Whitcomb Brougher. who was then 'the minister at the White Tem ple, was chairman of the committee. He became enthusiastic and conceived the plan of having Mr. Flynn conduct a great free educational movement on health through the church, and send him out on a ten years campaign, covering all the largest cities of Amer ica. The people here who formulated this movement said, "Open the doors free to all, so that it will come within the reach of everybody." and they thought the voluntary offerings would be large enough to meet the expense. Lance Territory Covered. That they were entirely correct the following figures show: He has covered 27 states and lec tured to 5,000,000 on the scientific care of the body. In these ten years the people have raised S26S.00O, which has all been spent in this movement. Mr. Flynn taking only enough to pay his expenses and for his extra teachers needed. Throughout this entire time he had had the hearty . indorsement of the press., the church, clubs, universities and thousands of America's prominent citizens. Mr. Flynn gives Portland the entire credit for this great success. Mr. Flynn declares that Portland is the healthiest city In the country and that people in the East need look for no. better place to come to when In search of lost health. He is having an enormous banner printed, which he Market Inspector Recounts Health Service Work. Mrs. Sarah A. Evans Writes Aceount of Experiences During: Ten Tears of Improvement Efforts. ffTEN Years in the Health Service." X is the subject of an interesting article by Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, market inspector, who has written an account of some of her experiences in the work and of the growth and improvement in the Bureau of Health. An extract from the article follows: From time to time the attention of the health boards had been called to the un speakable condition of the milk supply, which a state official, elected and paid, for the purpose of keeping; It clean, de clared was pure and wholesome. Insisting; that Infected milk was healthful and fat tening for infants. The awakening; came when a number of photograph, taken at private expense, of some of the dairies supplying; milk to Portland were shown to the Health Board, who. with the City Council, became alarmed, and with the co-operation of many Influences, began the famous "milk fight," resulting; in an ordinance being passed which was suc cessfully contested by the dairymen. Later a modified ordinance was passe'l and the milk division of the health bureau got a foothold. At that time It was re ported that SO per cent of the dairy herds that were supplying milk to Portland were Infected with tuberculosis. About tha. time an Inspector from the United States Department of Agriculture, being in the city, asked for a copy of those pictures, saying: "We can show no such horrible condition m any exhibit we have In 'Washington.-' Tday our Bureau of Health can stand beside that exhibit a picture of 4 the ex hibit from Portland that took the first prize at the Panama-Pacific Exposition in the International contest, and swept the boards of eight of the other 14 prizes, to say nothing of the tf diplomas of merit received for scores of 10 or over. . We must ask In true American fashion: "Does it pay?" And the answer is found Just in proportion to the value we place upon human life and happiness and the commercial prosperity of our city. Is it worth while to have our vital sta will carry through the East next year, showing the high educational standard of the Northwest, Judged by the at tendance at these meetings. 1SO.OOO Attendance if err Is Aim. On the banner he will put the at tendance for Tacoma. Seattle and Port land. The attendance at Tacoma was 75.000. Seattle 125.000 and the slogan here is for everyone to boost for 150, 000 for Portland. "What is going to be a sreat and a hard problem for the club and people in general to figure out is what are we going to do with our men after they reach the age of 50. as we know all the big corporations are not hirinji rsen after 4a and letting them so at 50," said Mr. Flynn yesterday. "This is a serious problem that must be reckoned with. The big factories and railroads in the East have approached me so often on this subject that I have figured out a system for them whereby a physical .rather than a chronological test should be taken. By that 1 mean they don't ask you any more how old you are. but have you got the endur ance, which means efficiency. Simple Teats Are ilvni. "Then I have them take the simple tests of holding out the arms to show the condition of the blood and this never falls: squatting to the floor for the heart and lungs, and lying on the back and raising the legs to a perpen dicular position for the vital organs." Mr. Flynn declares if a man can step riffht up and take these tests the re quired number of times, which will show that he is in fit condition, the firms will say go to work, as those are the kind of men they are looking for today. If the body is in this fine physi cal condition the brain must be clear and active. Mr. Flynn claims this is as easy for the boy of 60 as it is for the boy of 20. Mr. Flynn will lecture tonight at 8 o'clock on "Disease, a Crime." This will be free to all. . The meetings and subjects this week follow: Sunday. 8 P. M. "Disease a Crime." Monday, 8 P. M. "Care of Face. Hair and Eyes." Tuesday. 2 :.TO P. M. "Diseases: Their Cause and Cure." Tuesday. 8 P. M. "The Cause and Cure of Indigestion. Constipation, Sleeplessness and Headache."

Is it worth while to send men and women Into the highways and byways to search out the disease-breeding places and to insure a safe and clean food supply? Were the hundreds of babies that died annually from polluted milk worth saving? Is it worth while to be able to recognize contagious diseases, and scientifically and certainly control them to determine with exactness the proper periods for quarantine and to control the source of typhoid and other filth diseases? Does It Increase the prosperity of the city to be advertised aa having the purest milk supply in the world ? Is a city worth livlnj- in whose popula tion Is rapidly Increasing while its death rate more rapidly decreases? If these questions can all be answered In the affirmative, the Portland Bureau of Health has attained an enviable place, and its 10 years of growth has not been In vain, and to have been even a small factor in its development has been a rich expe rience and a rare privilege. NAVAL OFFICERS TO MEET Xevr Club, Yet Unnamed, Born at Lunclieon Held at Hazel-wood. A new club, the exact name of which has been so far withheld, was born yesterday at a luncheon at the Hazel wood.
