Career la Spectacular
"Mayor Thompson has been and Is a
two-fisted fighter, and is a man who
thinks his own thoughts and speaks
them fearlessly," said Fred Spoeri,
president of the Rotary Club and a for
mer resident of Chicago, last night. .
"He comes from a well-known Chi
cago family, but after finishing the
grade schools he refused to attend col
lege and struck out for Wyoming,
where for a year or two he punched
cows, and then blossomed out as the
owner of a ranch.
"When Mr. Thompson again navi
gated State street he wore a cowboy
hat, chaps and a revolver at his side,
and had about everybody in town at
his heels. Then he went to college
and became a football star.
Soon after leaving college he got
Into politics in the Second Ward, and
before very long he was elected Alder
man on the reform ticket, and he has
been uteadlly reforming ever since.
When Mr. Thompson decided to run for
Mayor he negan two years before the
primaries by sending cards to every
friend in the city. They laughed at
him because of getting into the fight
o early, but - he went back at them
and asked for their support and asked
that they get all their friends lined up
for him. The result was that he had
1SO.O00 votes pledged to him before the
primaries. He swept through like a
cyclone, end when he cleaned up R. W.
Sweitier for the election by 150.000 ma
jority and without the support of a
single Chicago daily paper, Thompson
began to loom up as a big man.
DECREE WON AFTER YEARS
J n else Morrow I'avors Woman After

The case of Clara Brooks Urdahl
against H. H. Urdahl. which has been
dragging through the Circuit Court
for years, was disposed of yesterday

ground of desertion. Property rights
were settled out of court.
By the decree a minor child is given

troubles found their way into the
criminal division of the court, Mrs.
Urdahl having her husband arrested

THE Portland Ep worth League has
an Interesting adjunct, the Presi
dents' Association, which Is made
up of the presidents of the various
chapters of the city. They meet for
better co-operation and to consider
social service problems in Portland.
When the departments are thorough
ly organized the association will be one
of the most carefully systematized
clubs in the city.
The first department will relate to
the spiritual work: the second to work
evangelism: the third to social service.
and the fourth to recreation and
culture. It has been suggested that
the association form a social club to
take the place of the saloon.
Another committee has been as-
pointed to investigate the advisability
of holding a revival for young people
only.
An entertainment, a pageant of
Methodism, co-operation with Christian

35 cents a dozen, they will tell you in
a flash how many you should get for
a dime.
Mental Computation Studied.
Principal Herdman believes when the
course is finished it will have to be a
shrewd street vendor or shopkeeper
who can mentally outfigure the student
from these classes, as mental computa
tion is made an important branch of
the study course.
The course was established at the
suggestion of Virgil Earl, head of the
mathematics department, and is an ad
Junct of the domestic science course.
It is called household mathematics and
supplements domestic science and do
mesne art.
It embraces only two terms' work, but
the work is required in the domestic
science course. btudents In other
courses desiring the work may sub
stitute it for some other term's work.
The subject has four aims: First, to
make the pupils familiar with prob
lems of 'everyday life. Second, to cor
relate mathematics with problems of
everyday life. Third, to develop good
judgment and reasoning, and to develop
speed and accuracy in mental cal
culations. .
The first term's work is merely 1
review of arithmetic, taking in prob
lems in percentage, discount, ratio and
proportion and interest. The simpler
methods of bookkeeping fere taught.
some algebra and a little geometry. In
short, the aim of the first term's work
Is to bring about mental speed and
accuracy a faculty which the teaehera
believe many girls neglect to develop.
Practical Application. Given.
The second term's work is the prac
tical application of the methods taught
in the first semester. During the sec
ond term, the girls are. required to
make out lists and accounts, such as a
dress budget, high school girl's personal
account, planning, ot garment, month.
ly and yearly household accounts and
Checks.
In making out the accounts, every de
tail is considered and stress is laid on
the importance of obtaining the best

just so much money to manage with

is figuring how a man,' on a salary of

No Textbooks I'sed.
In working out there household prob
lems the girls are urged to observe at
the different stores all household
requisites, picking out the articles that
are the most practical, tasty, sanitary
and durable and at the same time in

"Otto" Is Shy One Eye, but
Overflows With Energy.
Juvenile Court Seeks to Place Rest
less Lad With family Out on a
Fam.
ONE of Otto's eyes was gone, but
the other flashed with suppressed
fire when he first came into the hands
of the Juvenile Court some time ago.
He had a sad, rather old-looking face
for a !ad of 11 yearp, and his clothes
hung on his gaunt little body some
thing like those of the Great Emanci
pator must have hung when lie was a
boy.
No, Otto Is not the original "hard
luck kid." As a matter of fact, he is
full of dynamic energy, and that is
why ho got into trouble. Now he is
being: kept at the Frazicr Home and
the Child-Placing Department of the
Juvenile Court is attempting to secure
a home for him whero that energy will
be turned Into the right channels.
It was Otto's restless eneryy which
resulted in the loss of one of his eyes.
He went out one day where workmen
were blasting stumps and was struck
in the eye by a missile projected by
one of the blasts.
Since he came into the hands of the
Juvenile Court two ' glass eyes have
been secured to supply the place of
the lost optic, but each time Otto has
dropped the artificial "glim" out onto
the floor and broken it. The last eye
secured was a splendid, expensive one,
given him by Woodard. Clarke & Co..
but It went the way of the other.
Otto's parents lived in St. Johns, but
he don't remember much about them.
He has had to knock about a great
deal in his few short years. The Ju
venile Court is making an attempt to
place Otto with some family on a
farm, in the belief that the farm en
vironment would be just the thing to
develop him into a useful citizen.
"Otto is Just the kind of a lad who
will develop Into a man that will do
things, if given the proper environ
ment and training." said Mrs. Frances
Marion Hawkes, ot the Juvenile Court,
yesterday. "He must be doing some
thing all the time In order to- be
happy, and the farm seems to be the
place to turn him loose and give his
pent-up energies opportunity to find
expression."
LOGGING SESSION IS NEAR
Portland Lumbermen Plan to At
tend Meeting at San Francisco.
A number of Portland lumbermen
are preparing to attend the seventh
session of the Pacific Logging Con
gress to be held in the Lumbermen's

Exposition grounds. San Francisco,
October 21-24 inclusive.

The Courts Have Spoken
Important to all Merchants
Three judges of trie Federal Court sitting en Kane a
Portland, Oregon, have just decided that the law passed
at the, last session of the Legislature imposing a five per
cent tax on the gross business of all merchants using
trading stamps and coupons, and of trading stamp and
coupon companies, doing business in Oregon, is uncon
stitutional. .
The decision follows the case of Little et al. vs. Tanner,
from the State of Washington, in which it was held to be
legitimate for merchants to use premiums as a discount
for cash trade and for the purpose of attracting and
building up business.
President George B. Caldwell, of the Sperry & HutcK
inson Co., and Hamilton Corporation, who is now making
a visit to their many merchants and representatives of
the Pacific Coast, states:
"The use of trading stamps and similar devices is
neither more nor less than a legitimate system of
advertising. As well might legislatures attempt to
classify separately those who advertise in the columns
of the daily papers or use electrical signs, bill boards
or other devices and impose a tax upon them to the
exclusion of others engaged in the same business who
do not so advertise. The attempted classification is
purely arbitrary and vicious class legislation and
strictly a violation of the fourteenth amendment to
the Federal Constitution.
"The Sperry & Hutchinson Co. is trie oldest and largest
premium house in the world. We employ expert trade
analysts and give a service measured by actual redemp
tions of over 90 of our stamps issued. We employ
publicity experts and annually spend several hundred
thousands of dollars with newspapers and magazines..
We do not invade their field nor do they ours. We co
operate with publishers to get results for our merchants .
and manufacturers. We invite the fullest publicity of our
system and methods in the interest of fair play. The day
is now past when competition is to be prevented by
associational methods which are to the great disadvantage
of individual members. Freedom of business gives every
merchant and manufacturer the right to say whether or
not he shall use premiums as a permanent business
builder. To-day over 30,000 merchants of the United
States are using our system successfully.
Copies of this Oregon and other clecisions on the usei
bf premiums may be had by calling upon any of our
principal agents in San Francisco and Los Angeles, Cal. :
Salt Lake City, JUtah; Portland, Oregon; Seattle and
Spokane, Wash.
