Ten of the biggest days in Portland during the Summer of 1916 are already outlined, according to statements of Portland members of the Knights of Tythias, who are planning for the en tertainment of the Supreme Lodge of the Wor,ld of that order and the visit of the delegates to the Supreme Tem ple of the Pythian Sisters. Thousands of distinguished men and women from every state in the Union and Canada will gather in Portland for the meeting, which opens August 1 and closes August 10. In addition to representatives of the two supreme law making bodies, the event will attract members of the Pythian fraternity from all of the states west of the Rocky mountains, particularly from Washing ton, Oregon and California. Gus C Moser, supreme representa tive from Oregon, is chairman of the general arrangements committee ap pointed by the grand lodge of this state. The secretary of the committee is W. J. It. Clark, and Frank Grant is treas urer. Headquarters for the commit tee are temporarily established at the office of Ivanhoe Lodge, Eleventh and Alder streets. The programme of entertainment will include clam bakes on the beaches of the state, tours of the Columbia Kiver Highway, carnivals at the Oaks and Council Crest, a military ball under the direction of the Uniformed Rank of the Knights of Pythias, parades, and many other interesting events. "It was some task to bring the meet ing of the supreme lodge to the most extreme western part of the United States," said Mr. Moser, who bore the invitation to the last convention. "In the minds of many of the repre sentatives who voted on the question, the long journey to the Northwest and their lack of knowledge of our cities and states seemed sufficient reason for not accepting our hospitality. "The way Portland entertained the Elks made the city talked of every where. This meeting is of equal im portance, except in numbers. We do not expect so many people, but there will be thousands of visitors at that." While the supreme lodge is in ses sion. 4 the grand lodge of Washington will hold its annual convention at Van couver, and the Oregon grand lodge will be held in Portland. All of the uniformed-rank companies of Washington and Oregon, with some from California, will be encamped in Portland during the convention. PORTLAND IDEA APPEALS Ohio City Desires to Profit by Our Success in Children's Gardens. Portland's work for the carrying for ward of the children's garden idea is giving this city publicity of the right sort in the East. This is indicated by a letter from the superintendent of the division of public welfare of Colum bus. O., asking for information on chil dren's gardens, which was received by the president of the Federated Wom en's Clubs of this city. The letter was turned over to Mrs. Josephine R. Sharp, president of the Alberta Women's Club, for answering. The leter from the Columbus offi cials was as follows: "We would be very glad to receive any data you may have on children's gardens and the plans inaugurated for the disposal of produce. We are of the opinion that garden work is carried on extensively in your city and we shall be glad to receive any literature you may have." $15 JUDGMENT IS FOUGHT 'i;eneral Misinformation of Facts" Declared No Legal Charge.

WHEN "Rebecca oP Sunnybrook' Farm" opens at The Baker next Sunday, patrons of that play house will be introduced to petite Jane Urban, who has been especially en gaged to play the title role (created in New York by Edith Talliaferro) as well as the title role in "Baby Mine" and other plays requiring a leading woman of the Talliaferro or Marguerite Clarke type, several of which are un der contract to be produced at the Baker this season. The advent of a new member with the Baker Players I something like bringing a new member into the household, and the event is one of more than ordinary importance to the army of Stock lovers, who know all about (or think they do) all the dif ferent interesting personages compris ing the homey Stock family that has been contributing to their weekly pleasure since last Summer. Though a dainty wee bit of humanity, Jane Urban has a record of popularity in several Western cities that com mends her strongly for the Portland bid. She is strictly a Western product and she is proud of it. She played In genue leads with Max Figman and Lo lita Robertson when they appeared at The Heilig four or five years ago in a special season during the Summer, and though her opportunities were lim ited there are doubtless many who re call her clever work. After this she played Ingeune leads at Ye Liberty In Oakland for three consecutive years, and last Summer was Leading Woman Dr. William T. Foster will give a lec ture on "Education" in room B.

When the Liberty Stock reopens next Fall she has been engaged to play leads once more there. One of her most important en gagements recently was when she sub stituted for Evelyn Vaughn at The Al cazar Stock in San Francisco where for 10 weeks, during the illness of Miss Vaughn, she scored heavily in a num ber of exceptional plays such as "Re becca of Sunnybrook Farm." "Baby Mine," etc., in several of which she will appear during her coming Port land engagement- Miss Urban has a delightful person ality and possesses that rare quality called "charm" and in addition to these, like so many tiny bits of femininity she has a winning way of capturing hearts of both men and women. In fact it is whispered that "Jane" once was a Soubrette in a big Musical Comedy com pany and tsings and dances like the proverbial fairy, but aspiring to reach heights in dramatic art, she positively refuses to acknowledge this. Once in Los Angeles when the company at The Belasco was playing "The Squaw Man" the Child Labor law stopped them on account of the youth of the youngster who was playing Little Hal. a three-year-old Indian child. But "the show had to go on" and Jane got up in the role in one afternoon, went on that night and made a big hit. From this to the powerful emotional lead in "Kindling" is a wide jump, but it is recorded that she has made equally good in both and her "Rebecca" is said to be excellent. She is survived by a son. two daughters and CARD OF THINKS. We wish to thank our friends and neighbors, and especially the members of the G. A. R. and O. E.

Reed College Soclolofflst Department Kind Many of Old Place Closed, Others Barely Existing. Keeping a saloon under the new pro hibition law is not the most profitable of occupations, according to the deduc tions by Reed College sociological de partment students, who have been in vestigating conditions amongst the old drink dispensaries and tneir naoitues. Out of 70 saloons investigated only 31 are trying to maintain themselves as temperance bars. An equal number are closed ana tne remaining ij are remodeled into establishments for other kinds of business. Of the 31 saloons that are still at tempting to do business not one was found which was a decided success. Some were found to be running at a small profit, but the large majority of them were simply taking in enough to exist. "Were just managing to Keep above water with the hope that better times will bring in more money," was the usual answer which the student investigators received. Lack of numerical patronage Is not the cause of the financial slump for the saloons, the young sociologists say. Chere are just as many men to be found in any of the old Burnside "hangouts" before the prohiibtion law went into effect, but they don't spend as much. In answer to the question. "Why don't you drink more of the temper ance beverages?" the men would an swer, "We don't drink for the taste. It's the effects. Real whisky makes a man feel like a millionaire and forget all his troubles, but you can t get the ef fects from near beer."

The difference is due to the cus torn the country registrars have adopt ed of going over their territories per sonally and visiting the voters. They say a man can scarcely refuse when you bring the process to his door and he doesn't have to make any effort to q ua 1 i fy.

COQUILLE'S GLASS FILLED City Repeals Law Setting Liquor Im port Limit Below State's. MARSHF1ELD, Or.. March 4. (Spe cial.) The city of Coquille, of which District Attorney L. A- Liljeqvist was city attorney at one time, found itself in a peculier predicament recently when it was threatened with a damage suit if citizens were refused the privi lege of shipping liquor into the city ac cording to the provisions of the state law. About two years ago. the City Council, although, the people had voted ' - A "Sea OF 4 Riot to tolerate saloons and several were running, acted upon a large petition and at the end of the fiscal term cut off licenses without regard to the prior vote. It was then that the city authorized City Attorney Liljeqvist to draft a very stringent law regulating the bringing: of liquor into Coquille.
