DAHLIA OTORIGHT RECEIVT PORTLAND S H O W IS TERJ1ED CHEAT SUCESS. New Varieties Produced In Northwest Are Classed With Best For eign Introductions. "As the result of the National Dahlia Show held' last week in Portland," said tl. W. Gil l. secretary of the Na tional Dahlia Society of America and show manager of the recent event, "we have a vision of the possibilities of future exhibitions and a new era for dahlia culture has begun." "This is the second, show given by the society, and the largest dahlia ex hibition ever held in America. Tacoma proved the most successful in amateur dahlia growing, but Portland was far in advance of all Coast growers in pro fessional lines. Many of the varieties created in the Northwest were equal to the best new foreign introductions." He ftlrther said that-the dahlia was the best of all show flowers and cre ated the most public interest. In speaking of the aid that the con vention has been to both amateur and professional growers, the show mana ger said: 'Professional growers can assist the amateurs by assembling in the showground the world's best spe cies. The amateur should be careful to drop from his list all sorts superseded by new kinds. Just as soon as the prices of the new ones become reasonable. In this respect the amateur is dependent upon the professional. "A rapid pruning out of ail unworthy sorts by professional men will advance dahlia cuture wonderfully, especial ly since many people are unable to visit the show gardens and must order" by cate'ogue. Our show really and fully justified the purpose of the society." FIRE DRILL TOWER BUILT Llfcsraving Also Will Be Taught on Kour-Story Structure. From the sides and top of a new four-story tower erected by the fire bureau at East Third and East Pine streets. Portland firemen will leans the art of fire-drilling and lifesaving. The tower is made on a wooden frame with a galvanized covering, and is fitted with windows on the sides and cornices on the top, has standpipes. and is in every way the same as an office build ing on the outside. The tower has been built by Bat talion Chief Dowell. Firemen will hold all their drills on it in the future. It car. be used for practice In fire-fighting and-lii'ebavins'. -A The vice of men in the form of horrible disease is reflected in the suffering of good women. i,e" lilt Children under 16 not less accompanied by REED VIEWS SLIDES Picturesque Columbia River Highway Scenes Shown. NATURAL COLOR WONDROUS Students Burst Into Applause at Sight or Mounts Hood and St. Helens, Surpassing Best of Expectations. Students of Reed College were unan imous in acclaiming- the Columbia River Highway slides shown them by Henry Berber and his assistant, Frank I. Johns, last Thursday tlib most won derful exhibition they had ever seen In color photography. The pictures were taken by the new Faset process, which brlners out all the natural colors of the landscape without the use of hand tinting or any artificial process. Mr. lierjrer first showed pictures of Portland flowers. The rose slides pre dominated. Delicate tints of pink, white and red were extremely realistic. Next came slides of Oregon wild flowers dogwood. Koldcn rod. wild roses, wild currant and all the flowers of the mountains. Pictures Surpass Kxnectatlens. The' pictures of the highway sur passed all expectations. The deep blue of the Columbia and the sky, from which it took its color, were the very mirror of nature. Falls, towering crags and waterfalls appeared as real as when seen on the last auto trip. In some slides wonderful cloud effects had been produced and In others sunsets of rarest color and beauty were shown. At the base of one waterfall the pho tographer had caught a rainbow as it shimmered on the mists of the spray. AVhcn the majestic pictures of the Oregon mountains were thrown upon the screen the students broke into ap plause. View after view of Mount Hood was shown- taken from all sides and at all times. Some at sunrise, some in the brilliance of noon, some in the rosy tints of evening. St. Helens' Views Picturesque. St. Helens was shown rising above a bank of cloud, like the sacred mountain of Japan, and Elides of Washington's preat peak. Rainier, were also pro duced. One of the most unusual and striking of the mountain pictures were those which were taken from the sum mit of Mount Hood being the first color pictures ever taken on the peak. In conclusion pictures of Crater Lake were shown. Many had never realized the beauties of Oregon's great National park until they saw. the rare colorings of the lava cliffs as they rose In all their grandeur 2000 feet atfbve the sur face of the lake. Mr. Berger said that he intended to make a tour of the country with the pictures, so that the people might see the scenic beauties of Oregon and the splendid facilities for sight-seeing that the highway offsra. He believes that as soon as people see what wonderful scenery Oregon has. there will be fewer tourists going to Switzerland and the Canadian Rockies. Mr. Berger has a. collection of more than 2000 negatives. The plates all have to be Imported from England as well as the red, green and yellow screen through which the light passes to reproduce the tints of nature. Pocket Directory Answers Anything About Portland. i:dv in T. I'itlmin Compiles Records Breun While lu Service of Car Company. T CAN answer any question about A Portland you can ask me," was the startling challenge of Edwin T. Pittmon yesterday. Apparently he can. too. A 35-min-ute, brain-racking series of queries ni'il' admitted un- their parents. failed to uncover anything Mr. Pitt mon didn't know. For these questions he did not have to go further than his memory. But in his Docket he had a little red book that was supposed to answer all the things he couldn't carry in his head. In 1905 Mr. Pittmon came to Port land from Tacoma. He was a street car conductor. People frequently asked him- questions and it embarrassed him exceedingly to say, "I don't know." So he compiled a system of notes, w-hich ho kept In a vest-pocket card Index system. His Look of notes grew and the other conductors got to askinjx him ques tions whenever they were "stumped." And then one of them made him a proposition. a "Why don't you have it printed. Ed?" He had his notes printed. That was in 190S. Shortly afterwards he quit working for tho streetcar company and started compiling another and better guide book, since then, each year he haa Issued a guide book, doing all the work himself. F. R.

Additional world-wide publicity is given the Columbia Highway by virtue of an article that appeared in Collier's Weekly of October 2. The article is Illustrated by four views along the highway, taken and copyrighted by Weister. The four cuts and the descriptive article occupy an entire page. One of the scenes is of the highway itself near Portland: another of Multnomah Falls and the concrete bridge that spans It; the third a view of the Upper Columbia, and the last a stretch of the Washington shore of the Columbia, with Caio Bock In the backs round. THIS IS THE STORY OF "DAMAGED GOODS' "Damaged Goods" is a frank and free discussion of tho "for bidden subject." It tears the mantle from prudery. For this reason it has been in dorsed by medical societies and scientists all over the world. It is from the book by Eugene Brieux, "Les Avaries." It portrays the life of George Dupont, college man, until after his marriage. He is seduced by a woman in his own set. He regrets. Then his friends give him a bachelor dinner. He takes his first drink. He is forced, quite against his desires, into circum stances which result in a night of debauchery with a girl of the streets. That the girl had been afflicted with a dread disease as the result of her life of license he did not know; nor what his one night would cost him. The picture shows his realiza tion that he is diseased. His visit to a specialist, the cure out outlined. He goes to a quack. The latter's "cure" is outlined.' Believing himself cured, Dupont marries, although the doctor has shown him pictured daringly in the film in a wonderful manner just what the disease will result in if he marries. Retribution comes quick and ' fast. The birth of his baby is shown, the appearance of the disease in his offspring. Never will such a terrible les son of the effects of sex license be pictured again.
