12 THE STJXDAY OltEGOXIAN, PORTLAXD, 3IAUCII 2G. 1916. ROSE SOGIETY WILL HOLD FINEST SHOW Annual 'Exhibition at Festival Time Promises to Excel Previous Efforts. JOSEF HOFMANN WILL RECEIVE $1000 FOR HALF HOUR'S WORK IN PORTLAND World's Highest-Paid Pianist Is Featured With New York Symphony Orchestra, Coming to Heilig Early in April. MEIER & FRANK'S CHOSEN Generous Appropriation of Money and Enthusiastic Co-operation of Kosarians Presages Brilliant Success Dates, June 7-8. The annual exhibition of the Port land Rose Society, to again be a Iea ture of the tenth annual Rose Festival In June, will represent the best dis play yet to be stag&d by that organi zation. Since the rose Is the great central feature of the annual fiesta, the board of governors of the 1916 exhibition have given much consideration to the rose show, the Festival center and the floral parade. The exhibition this year is made pos sible as a result of an appropriation of J1250 by the Rose Festival committee and the co-operation of Julius L. Meier, of the Meier & Frank Company, in donating- the use of the sixth floor of the new building: for the exhibition. Mr. Meier is not only giving: the space, but will provide the necessary printing-, cartage, decorations and lights and will keep the store open the evenings of June 7 and 8 to accommodate peo ple who are unable to visit the exhi bition in the day time. The rose show has been held in Port land as an annual event for the last 20 years and it was the remarkable pro duction of the rose in Portland as em phasized by this exhibition that led to the holding: of the first Rose Festival in 1907 and the continued success of the enterprise during the last nine years. The rose show at the Meier & Frank store will display the choicest of rose blooms in- the highest state of perfec tion and the introduction of many new flowers never before seen here, where each individual flower is known by name, the whole exhibition showing what has been accomplished in recent years by rosarians of National reputa tion. At the Festival roses and other beautiful flowers will be arranged in beds to form wonderful color schemes, the main attraction to be a jrreat fountain made of 15,000 of the Dorothy Perkins variety. When the floral parade appears on the streets it will show the use of the rose for dec oration purposes and represent Port land's remarkable annual production of the rose, now in excess of 25,000.000 blooms.

McFarland. president of the Portland Rose Society, says that the action of the 1916 Rose Festival board in financing the Rose Show to the ex tent of making possible the best ex hibition of the kind ever held, has met with the approval of rose growers in general in Portland. "The members of the society." said he yesterday, "are especialy gratified at the great interest displayed by the men of this year's Festival board. The funds set aside by the Festival Associa tion are ample to enable us to present the very best show that conditions of rose blooms at that time will warrant, We are also grateful to Julius Meier; of the Meier & Frank Company, for his interest in the society in donating the use of a floor for the show and helping us in many other ways to stage an ex hibition that will be a great credit to Portland."

That is the wage earned by Josef Hofmann, according to his contract as soloist with the Kew fTork Symphony Orchestra. under Walter Damrosch, which comes to the Heilig April- 9 and 10, under direction or Steers & Coman. This is the highest price ever paid any pianist. The contract calls for one concerto with the orchestra in each city visited en tour, and none of the many concertos which this famous pianist plays lasts more than 30 min utes, for which Hofmann alone re ceives J1000, or a rate of J2000 per hour. Nothing to compare with the magni tude of this great musical event has ever before been offered Portland. For this splendid symphony orchestra com prises nearly 100 men, gathered to gether from the four quarters of the globe, each one a specialist on his chosen instrument. For 32 years Wal ter Damrosch has directed the destinies of this great orchestra until it has be come famous for its interpretation of great works, and an inseparable part of the musical life of New York. Walter Damrosch is the greatest Na tional figure in the musical history of America.

There are 26 museums of safety and In ftitu tes for the Rtudy of Industrial hyglne in the world H'J in Europe, three in the ln!ted States and one in Canada. MUD WAVES HIT HOMES Inlet of Drainage Sewer Blocked and Lake Begins to Form in South Portland, Endangering Houses and Property. Continued rain has again started earth-slide troubles, with danger of serious damage in several parts of the city. The worst place is between Hall street and Sixteenth street, through property owned by Edward Holman, the Gaston estate, B. O. Case and others. Here an enormous block of earth slid down the hill yesterday morning early and covered Hall street near Fourteenth with about three feet of mud. More slides, with possibly considerable damage, is looked for at this place. It was here that a big slide occurred several weeks ago during the thaw lollowing the heavy fall of snow. The first slide took out most of the back yard on the Holman property and swept it down to Hall street, carry ing a wooden bridge along College street with it and banking mud up against houses owned by Mr. Case. Porch' of Honse Is Wrecked. Yesterday property owned by the Gaston estate, above the Holman prop erty, gave way and slid down the hill. The front porch of one of the Case houses was partly wrecked and the mud bank made much higher. The torrent of mud continued on into Hall street, completely blocking it for a considerable distance. More trouble is being experienced near the home of w. C. Lawrence on Twenty-first street. During former slides the Lawrence home was badly damaged by the movement of the earth under It. Yesterday a series of small slides oc curred below the house which are said to have increased the danger to the Lawrence property. No further move ment of the Lawrence house is re ported. Temporary Flume Being Bnllt. At First and Grover streets the inlet of a drainage sewer was covered by a slide some time ago, and yesterday a deep hole near the street began to form into a lake and . threatened to cause considerable damage to surrounding houses, property and streets. A force of men was put to work building' a temporary flume to carry this water away. No further movement is reported at the slide on Thurman street near Rugby street, or at slides on Mont gomery drive. Men are watching these carefully, however, in - fear that the constant rain will start trouble again. GARDENS 111 FAVOR Pupils of Public Schools Show Enthusiasm for Agriculture.

Registration for Special Work Shows Big Increase Free Seed Will Be Supplied Boys 'and Girls Who Would Till Soil. "While work in the school gardens has been held In check during the past week, the organization of home gar den has been going forward rapidly, says William H. Dunham, supervisor of school gardens in this city. Children are showing more interest in the work this year, which is noticeable by the increased number in registration. So far 4800 pupils have signified their in tention of taking up this work, and there are about 20 schools which have not yet reported. It is estimated by the supervisor tjxa.t the number will reach over 6000 pupils, which will be an increase of about S00 over last year and about 2500 over 1914. In addition to the home garden, many children are registering for the industrial club work along the lines of vegetable gardening, potato growing. corn growing and poultry raising. The names of over 250 children have been sent in for this work and many more schools have yet to report. Owing to the fact that this work requires a large-sized garden, the registration will be kept down materially but good results are expected from those who take up these projects. For those who take up the corn-growing project. Farmer C. L. Smith, of the O.-W. R. & N. Company, has offered to furnish free seed to plant the entire plot to be used. This seed is the best that can be found in the state, as it Is thoroughly acclimated and has gone through a process of rigid selection. Children will be required to keep accurate rec ords of the work and comply with all the requirements of the industrial club work. Records Will Be Kept. ' One of the features of the home gar den work is to be the keeping of rec ords and the making of monthly "re ports by the children. Printed book lets with instructions will be given to every pupil taking up this work. Par ents will also be requested to make reports on the work that the children do at home, so that teachers and su pervisors may get an accurate idea of the amount and quality of work that pupils do. Two years ago a number of children kept records of their gar den activities and the net profits re sulting ranged from 80 cents to $18. These were all backyard gardens and the, largest was not over 6000 square feet in area. This shows the possibili ties that there are in this movement. That year about 400 worth of produce was sold on the public market by chil dren in the different schools. This year steps will be taken to have a suitable place where the children can dispose of the product of their gardens.

When returning home from an even ing's entertainment and while on a publio highway, George B. -Prettyman spanked his wife, Beda K. Prettyman, "in the manner one would spank a child, injuring and embarrassing her, and further desiring to annoy and hu miliate her on the same occasion, he removed her shoes and persisted in tickling her feet, well knowing that she was exceedingly ticklish and that such acts caused her to be hysterical." On one occasion he struck her with a large framed picture, breaking the glass and cutting her head. He placed a revolver against her heart at another time, telling her that if "she had anything to say she had better say it quick." These are all allegations in a divorce complaint filed with County Clerk Cof fey yesterday by Mrs. Prettyman. Her husband is a machinist, earning a good salary, and she asks for $50 a month alimony.

Spring Styles Exhibit Strikingly Beautiful by Day and Brilliant at Night. BY W. T. HARVEY. Show windows that stand out like the striking, "con trasty" cartoons on the covers of the advanced-style maga zines, or like the bold work of the new school of poster artists are the displays which Powers' Furniture Company Is contributing to the ensemble of the Spring Styles Exhibit, which opens today. Each window is a poster in itself, strikingly beautiful by day and even more strikingly brilliant at night, for the lighting effects employed are a feature in themselves. Scotch plaid effects and red rugs give the tone of the "Victrola window" on the Third-street side of the building, and the composition centers on a life-size figure of Harry Lauder on a minfature vaudeville stage in the middle back ground. At night a spotlight is centered on the figure, and the effect is very striking. Daring effects in black and white, heightened by the contrast of bright yellow, form' the ground for the display of the ivory reed furniture in the next window. Yellow wisteria and huge yellow moon and a sweep of black branches across a gray sky form the background. The rugs and draperies are in gray and black, warmed with a slight touch of pink. The same striking contrasts of black and white, softened by grays, is employed in the window displaying perambu lators. Figures are employed in the middle background, against a seascape worked out in poster effects. The cos tuming of the figures was loaned to Powers by the Eastern Outfitttng Company. Pergolas in contrasted black and white flank the seat on which the figures are displayed. Red roses and Japanese lanterns for evening illumination give a touch of warmth to the composition. The fourth window is worked out against a white lattice background, and is a dioplay of ruis, carpets and draperies. The prevailing color scheme is blue and old rose; very soft and beautiful. This window is not quite so bold in its con trasts as the others, but has a richness of effect that is very pleasing. The composition of the four windows was developed by J. Walter Johnson, with the Powers Company. aiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiuiiimiuuuuiuuiuiuiiiJuiuiiiuiiuiuiiHiiuiiiuiiniiuiiiiiiiiiiiun muoctor; t Tpvicb The questions answered below are general in character, the symptoms or diseases are given and the answers will apply in any case of similar na ture.
