HUflANE SUNDAYTO nrinnnrm.rnTnniW DL UDULnVLU IUUHI , This Six-40 Seven-Passenger Chalmers $1450 Detroit Be Kind to Animals" Week Vi!l Be Brought to Close J by Special Sermons. EDUCATIONAL MOVE MADE Quality.First Portland Society Carries on Earnest Work to Increase Consideration and Mercy for . Animals, i i Cliurclies to Take Part. Today is the day ot the dog. pre suming that the old adage, "Every dog lias his day," must some time be liter ally fulfilled. Yet not alone Is it dedi cated to Towser and Rover and rollick ing Rowdy, but to cart horses, and alley cats, and starving cattle, and the great white herons of the South, which are slain for the plumage of their mother hood. It is called Humane Sunday through out America, and concludes Be Kind to lAnimals week, an educational effort for mrcy inaugurated by the American Humane Association. Both the week and its concluding day are observed in Portland, through the earnest work of members of the Ore icon Humane Society and tho local branch. Mrs. Frank w. Swanton, cnair- man of the National Humane Educa tional Association for Oregon, and sec retary of the- Oregon Humane Society, Jias been actively interested in the dis tribution of propaganda and personal messages during the weelc Special Sermons to Be Given. Many of Portland's churches today iwill hear the doctrine of charity, Kina- rtess and forbearance applied to the dumb beasts that can utter no plea of their own. Sermons will be delivered that have d-irect bearing upon the duty of merciful kindness man owes to the dumb friends in his service, as well as to all living things. The Book i3 replete with passages that Bpeak of mercy, and there is no lack of appropriate texts for Humane Sunday addresses. "Blessed are the merciful; for they thall obtain mercy," and "A righteous Tvi-n ran -irrlnt h YiA 1 1 f A nf hi. hA9RT! ' tout the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel," and again. "All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. ' cral years ago. is due the reverent memory with which his life and ac complishments are regarded. Mr. An Kell founded the American Humane So ciety, the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and the parent . American Band of Mercy. Of all literature, his favorite book was that tender tribute to the horse, ''Black Beauty." Move Launched Before Schools. In an address before the Boston pub. 11c schools in 1885, Mr. Angell, then launched upon his career of winning mercy for the helpless, directed the at tention of the students to the begin ning of the movement. "The first law in the world to pre vent cruelty to animals, Mr. Angell in formed them, "we owe to an Irish mem- tier of the British Parliament. "The celebrated Lord Erskine tried to get such a law, but scoffers made eo much fun of him that he backed out and gave it up. Then came into the House of Commons, from Galway, on the west coast of Ireland, Richard Mar tin, an Irish gentleman, or, as the folks called him, Dick Martin, and he was noted for two things. "First, he was very fond of animals and, second, he was known to be very much inclined to fight anybody that he thought insulted him. So one day he ibrought in a law to -protect animals. Immediately- someone made a catcall. Challenge Brings No Reply. "He Just stepped right out onto the floor of the House of Commons and said very gravely that he should be very much obliged for the name of the gen tleman who had seen fit to insult him. There was dead silence. "The gentleman didn't give his name. and Martin walked back to his seat amid the cheers of the House of Com mons, and his law became the law of Great Britain and the first law of its kind in the world." As for Be Kind to Animals week and Humane Sunday, and all crusades against man's inhumanity, the creed of the workers in found briefly in article 2 of the constitution of the Oregon Humane Society: "The object of this so ciety is the prevention of cruelty to every Jiving creature by all proper means, including humane education.' In America the propaganda of widest appeal in the humane movement has proved to be "The Horse's Prayer," of anonymous authorship. Practically ev ery newspaper in the country has print ed and reprinted it, while ministers have quoted it from their pulpits, and ruDiic speakers have aroused their au ditors with the strong appeal of sense and sentiment the suppositious plea contains. Popular Prayer Is Quoted. It is here reproduced: To Thee. My Master. I Offer Mv Prayer: Keed me and take care of me. Be kind to me. Do not jerk the reins; do not whip me when going up hill. .Never strike, beat or kick mo when I fall to understand what you want of me. but Kive uie a chance to understand yuu. Watch me and if I refuse to do your bidding, see 4f there is not somthing wrong with my Harness or Teet. Do not give me too heavy loads; never hitch me where water win drip on me, nor where I face the wind. Keep me well shod. Don't force me along the smooth, slippery streets, and when I fall, be patient and help me, as I will do ray best to keep, up and serve you. Examine my teeth when I fall to eat: I may have an ulcerated tooth. That, you know, is very painful. I am unable to tell you In words when I am sick; so watch me. and I will try and tell you by signs I '- - J --""ut BjeaK as you. I Pet me sometimes; I enjoy it and I will ' learn to Iava vnn Pmt.ct ma . . ... ... .. .. from the hot sun. Keep a blanket on' me in "Winter weather, and never put a frosty felt in my mouth, but hold it in your hand a moment first. I carry you. pull you, wait patiently for you long hours, day or night. I cannot tell you when I am thirsty: give me clean, cool water often in hot weather. Finally, when my strength is gone, in- , stead of turning me over to a human brute ' to be tortured and starved, take my life in tne e&sie&t ana quickest way. and your Cod will reward you in this life and in heaven. Tou will not consider me irreverent if I ask this In the name of Him who was born in a stable. Amen. lakirua Druggists Tab Booze Sales. NORTH YAKIMA. Wash., May 20. (Special.) Druggists of North Yakima, In a conference with the City Commis sioners yesterday, agreed to sell no beer; to sell substitutes tor beer only n prescription; keep complete records of all sales of alcoholic and malt liquors by prescription or otherwise and in case of application for alcohol for mechanical purposes, to send the applicants to the Chief of Police-for permit. No organization of druggists will be formed at this tune, and en forcement of the agreement against all druggists who may violate it is left to the city, authorities. $9, OCX), 000 of these Six-40 Chalmers have been bought by persons who had intended paying $2,000 for a car They took one look; were surprised a car of such size could be obtained for the money ; drove around 10 miles in her and bought. They laid down the astonishingly small sum of $1450 plus the freight, and mentally noted a saving of $550.. . For the men who are driving the Six-40 Chalmers today are the kind who have been thinking motor cars in terms of $2,000. They have had more surprises than the price, too. They have found the Six-40 Chalmers to possess more room than any seven passenger car of the day under $2500. Most persons are pretty particular about room. I do not know just how to express the ROOM in this car. Dimensions in inches do not tell the story. I simply spell the word in capital letters. Then you find later I have understated the case. Surprise No. 3 that will stir your emotions is tbe great big subject of color options. Now in these days when most cars resemble hearses in their soberness, or the "back drop" in a new musical comedy in their color excitement, here comes something refreshing. You can get a Six-40 Chalmers in any of these colors : Oriford maroon or Valentine green with hoods to match. Meteor blue with black hood. Just think that over. And remember this is the only car under $2,000, so far as I have ever learned, that provides for you a color range like this. Colors are getting just a little more important every day. I find most men, and particularly most women, have their own ideas about color just like the decorations in a library or a living room. Now there's one more big item about the Six-40 Chalmers. It's too bad I can't set that down as Surprise No. 4. Some secrets cannot be kept. Nearly everyone knows what a fine beast she is on the road. .She certainly can perform. They know that her real name is Six-40 Performance Chalmers. She has a reputation on a hill like Caesar had with his armies. She has a reputation for responsiveness that every traffic cop in America is well aware of. She has, like a great baseball pitcher, "everything on the ball. She is good at low speeds, good at high speeds, good on the hill, good on the long march, good on the short haul. She's a fine animal. As fine as any you'll ever run across in 10 parasangs. I drive her myself. She's my preference. But the big thing, of course, is that men with clear minds and rare judgment have laid down $9,000,000 on her. If you are wise you'll never question success a success like the Six-40 Chalmers. Ask me about Chalmers service inspection coupons, negotiable at all Chalmers dealers everywhere. This system is a most impor tant consideration in buying your car. H.L. KEATS J H. L. Keats Auto Company Broadway at Burnside St., Portland Basche-Sage Hdw. Co., Baker. M. A. Rickard, Corvallis. Or..

LECTURES WILL BE FREE System to Be Different From That of liast Visit Consisting of Show ing Preparation of Ration, and Possible Variety. Housewives, attention! A treat is in store. Mrs. Kate Brew Vaughn, who save a successful series of lectures last sea son in the Eleventh-Street Playhouse. is coming- to Portland again. In the week beginning May 29 Mrs. Vaughn will give a series of six lec tures in the same theater. She isn't an ordinary cooking- teacher or demonstrator. inose wno neara Mrs. Vaughn last year declared her "a wonder." She tells housewives how to combine Intellectuality and cooking and sret Dleasure out of the work. When she was nere last nunareas 01 women packed the theater to hear her. Women of Portland. Vancouver, Ore gon City and surrounding districts are invited to attend the lectures, which will be absolutely free. . . Encased girls, young brides, nurses. teachers, students of domestic science and experienced housekeepers and cooks will all find valuable informa tion In the lectures by Mrs. Vaughn. She has decided to return to Portland for this series at the urgent request of hundreds of her former friends. Sev eral prominent clubwomen will be patronesses for the lectures. ' Mrs. vaugnn s programme is entirely new and deals with the preparation of meals In a manner somewhat different from that used by her last season. In stead ot merely explaining, what con stitutes a balanced ration she will pre pare three balanced meals breakfast on Monday,, luncheon on Tuesday and dinner on "Wednesday. Then Thurs day, Friday and Saturday she will de vote the time to explaining how, in many particulars, these menus may be varied without departing from the es sentials of a daily ration that is prop erly balanced. Mrs. Vaughn makes much of 'the thought that Bostonians lead in In tellect and that they have given much thought to the question of better foods, so much, in fact, that they are now In a position to give less thought and labor to the actual cooking of meals and have more leisure for intellectual Mrs. Kate It.

While Mrs. Vaughn does dwell on the intellectual side of cook ing and aims to show women how it Is quite worth while to put much thought into this important matter, still her work is eminently practical. It appeals to the women who are interested In better foods and better homes for their families, and she knows how to show discouraged housewives how to bring about this desired result and how to get more satisfaction and better re sults out of their housekeeping ef forts.

Craving for Opium aad Opportunity to Euape After Conaoltatlos With Defender Are Blamed. James Kelly, petty criminal with a long record, escaped from the City Jail yesterday, to be recaptured In Van couver two hours afterward. Kelly s mania for opium is held to be the Im pulse that prompted the escape, as well as the means of his second apprehension. Kelly was in consultation witn Public Defender Dave Robinson. In the cell corridor adjoining the Municipal Courtroom. After the conversation was closed. Mr. Robinson left the corridor, having seen that Kelly stepped back Into the prisoner s box. t The craving for drug and the op portunity were too much for the cap tive.
