A Remarkable Performance ! East Side Business Men to Take Up Change of Route i , for Festival Event. Boy Scouts to Assist in Getting Gospel of Sanitary City Spread Broadcast. THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, APRIL. 2, 1916. REASONS. FOR MOVE GIVEN Rotter facilities for Spectators in Downtown Buildings and In creased Publicity Value of Photographs Cited. "With the announcement that the children's parade will be held on the West Instead of the East side of the river this year, representatives of the East Side Business Men's Club have "written the Kose Festival Association asking for a hearing on the subject. Before it was decided to make a change in the route of the opening day pageant of the "Human Roses." festival directors took many things into consideration, and it was decided that inasmuch as the festival was held for the benefit of all Portland the features should be staged, without cost, such as admission charges, where the greatest number of people could witness the events. .Since the opening day of the festival, June 7, is not a public holiday, em ployes of wholesale and retail estab lishments, clerks in the big depart 'ment stores, and those employed in the downtown office buildings had been denied an opportunity to witness the pageant. Festival directors say by holding the parade on the West Side, thousands of people will have an op portunity to view the procession, many who have never before seen this fea ture of the June celebration. Thousands of visitors from cities in Oregon and Washington within a ra dius of 300 miles of Portland, reach the city on trains arriving the morning of opening day, from 7 to 10 A. M. In vestigations made recently by festival directors brought forth the informa tion that these visitors go to their ho tels, and by the time they learn of the location of the pageant it is over with. Pictures Are Factor. One of the principal reasons for the annual Rose Festival is the valuable publicity it brings to Portland as the "Rose City" of the world. Photographs of the children's parade are in great demand, and festival governors have made a collection of these photographs to show just how Portland is adver tised as a result of the distribution of these pictures. In nearly every in stance the buildings shown in the back ground are one or two-story structures, and people reading Eastern magazines and newspapers will judge Portland as a city from the nature of the surround ings of the parade, say festival di rectors. With the parade staged this year in the business district, it is the idea that the high buildings with their thousands of offces. the rooms in a dozen big hotels and many other buildings such as the department stores will afford thousands an opportunity to view the parade. Photographs of this feature will also carry street scenes in the business section showing the modern buildings, fine hotels, and exploit Port land as the "City Beautiful." School Heads Concur. School authorities have advised the board of governors that the parade can ba handled to fine advantage on the West Side, and the transportation of the children to and from the starting point of the parade can be taken care of on the West Side as promptly as on the East. With the National dedication of the Columbia River Highway coming on opening day of the festival, and the indications that Portland will enter tain thousands of visitors from over the United States, festival directors have decided to stage the features of the fiesta where the greatest number can witness the events in comfort, and for that reason the children's parade has been moved to the West Side. The question of moving the parade to the West Side has been considered for the last three years, and by inquiries of people living on both sides of the river, governors of the 1916 fiesta found that the general sentiment was in favor of the change and it was included in the tentative programme announced last Tuesday evening at the weekly meeting of the festival board.

It will be a campaign, the policy of which, as well as its motto will be: "A long pull, a strong pull and a pull alto gether." It will be a long campaign because it has already commenced and will continue indefinitely, at least until Portland is as near a flyless city as it can be made. It will be a strong pull because the plans for its promotion have been well worked out, and method and sys tem will be employed in its conduct as well as enthusiasm. It will be pull altogether for the rea son that the strongest, best organized and most efficient forces in the city have been assembled in its interest and are co-operating with the municipal authorities in their endeavor to rid the community of the fly pestwhich is not oniy annoying out detrimental to health. The campaign will have three branches at work education preven tion and destruction. The first will be promoted by the circulation of litera ture which will teach the habits and dangers of the fly, and give instruc tion as to the best methods of elimina tion. Double Result Dealred. The preventive work will serve a double purpose that of removing the breeding places of the fly, and cleaning up the city of insanitary places at the same time. , In this branch of the work it is grat ifying to announce that the authori ties are to have the active co-operation of 50 Inspectors who traverse every section of the city daily and who will circulate tha literature put out by the Health Bureau, and through a car4 furnished by the department, will noti fy the office of any Insanitary condi tions they may find. These places, in turn, will be investigated by the city force and taKen up officially. Through the various Scout Masters, the services of more than 500 Boy Scouts have been tendered the Health Bureau in its efforts to abolish the breeding places of the fly. -These young citizens, with tho advice of the supe rior officers, will work out the prob lems of a cleaner, healthier city by the methods laid down in their code of manliness, courtesy and good citizenship. The destruction of the fly must of necessity be largely one of individual effort. No force can go into the pri vate home to rid it of flies, or even to the shop, and here, to make the cam paign effective, must come the co-operation of the public. Traps Are Recommended. To rid the house of flies there are several time-honored methods, such as sticky fly-paper, and poisons of vari ous kinds all good and moderately ef fective in their way, but the exhibit last Summer was convincing proof that traps were by far the most effective and satisfactory. More flies were caught than could have been got in any other way, and they do away with the disgusting spectacle of sticky fly paper lying around, often to trap the unwary visitor as well as the fly. No less disgusting is the moist fly-paper which adds the danger of poison flies getting into the food or being picked up by small children. Cmall traps for household use may be bought for 10 cents, and should be generously used In every home. The health bureau is endeavoring to have large traps made at a much less ex pense than those offered last Summer. Manufacturers may have their traps examined and approved by the health bureau. Diagrams for making them will bo furnished upon application. A bit of decayed fruit, the yolk of an egg in a little milk or a mixture of molasses, meal and yeast make excel lent bait. Literature, information or advice on the fly campaign will be furnished upon application to the health bureau. City Hall.

Chalmers Motor Car Company CITIZENS OF PORTLAND, MEN AND WOMEN : This is a personal appeal to you. The Young Men's Christian Association is engaged in a friendly contest with our neighboring city, Seattle, and its purpose is to secure memberships and subscrip tions to the organization. On its face the contest is merely an effort on the part of each to outdo the other. But the real purpose is to bring into the Y. M. C. A. a vast number of young men and boys who need its helpful influence. The problem of our city today is the detached youth, the youth who is away from home and home influences, or the youth who is greatly in need of the helpful daily advantages which this institution offers for spiritual, moral and physical betterments. It begins with the boy's heart; it ends with his body. Its service through religious and moral instruction, its educational classes, its gym nasium and swimming pooL are such as to enlist the moral and substantial aid of every resident of Portland. During the week over 300 men have given valuable time in the membership campaign. It has been faithful and unselfish work. They have had a large measure of support. We are, however, falling down in numbers as compared with Seattle and as compared with the total of last year. One more day (Monday) remains of this contest. At 9 o'clock tomorrow night the records will close. Won't you, who read this appeal, secure a number of subscriptions or memberships and bring them to the Y. M. C. A. headquarters before the closing hour Monday night? The purpose is worthy, the end is worthy and what ever you do will redound to your betterment as well as of the city we love.
