TITE STTNDAT OREGOXIAX, POItTEATTO, JTTXE 4, 1016. 11 MRS. VAUGHN WINS THAIS FOB TALKS Largely - Attended Lectures Under Auspices of The Ore gonian Appreciated. LEADING MATRONS ATTEND over to the testing of various types of pavement the cement contractors are the only ones who have protested against damage done to the surface, contending Its disintegration was the result of unnatural causes, and yet the other pavements were subjected to ex actly the same conditions without caus ing injury. In no instance has the County of Multnomah been called upon to maintain a highway paved with bitulithic, even when only a moral bllgatlon " was involved. I hope the Oswego cement plant will prove an unqualified suocobb, and that others in the state will be encouraged. Cement has many uses. The greatest hue and cry is raised against a paving trust by a pavings trust that does not get the Job. This was strikingly dem onstrated recently when the same ce ment promoters did everything in their power to carry a bond Issue in Sno homish County, Washington, where ce- Series on "Better Foods-Better Homes" Is Brought to Close Witli Expressions ot Benefits From Prominent Workers. A large attendance, many interesting features and sincere expressions of ap preciation characterized the last of the series of "Better Food, Better Homes" lectures given in the Eleventh-street playhouse by Mrs. Kate Brew Vaughn. The cooking school and lectures, held all this past week, attracted, thousands of women in Portland and the near-by town 8. Mrs. Vaughn had been here about a year and a half ago. and it was at the request of many who had heard her before that tho return series WS-S planned. At the close of Mrs. Vaughn's talk yesterday she gave away her gas range and kitchen cabinet. The former went to Mrs. Mildred Baker, of 234 North Nineteenth street, and the latter to Mrs. E. Condon. 284 Poplar street. Sev. eral of the women took cakes they had baked and Mrs. Vaughn gave a special lesson in lclmg. Appreciation Is Expressed. In her little closing message Mrs. Vaughn said: "I appreciate very much the attendance of, so many women at these lectures. I feel that my message to you has not been wasted. "We have enjoyed each other. TVe have been mu tually helpful and happy." Sincere expressions of appreciation, for the cooking school conducted by The Oregonian in the Eleventh-street playhouse last week were given by scores of prominent women at the close of the last of Mrs. Vaughn's lec tures yesterday. All who attended declared that the school had been helpful, interesting, en tertaining and profitable. "Had we paid 50 cents for each lecture, we still would have been indebted to Mrs. Vaughn and the people who planned, the school," said one woman. Mrs. Kaniler Expresses Opinion. Mrs. Jacob Kanzler, mother of Ore- iron's 100-O-nolnt perfect baby, said: have gained much of value, from the lectures. They were a treat, and an inspiration." Mrs. J. E. Rand, of the Congress of Mothers, declared that the lectures were as good as the recipes, and the whole thing was most helpful. "Mrs Vaughn is tho best lecturer I have ever heard and her recipes are so practical. She advises us to use good ingredients. I hope we who have heard her will be able to do as she has urged. This was what Mrs. Rand said. Mrs. E. J. Vennewitz, of Vernon Im provement Association, said: "Every woman who did. not attend the lectures missed a treat. They were splendid. The publio should be grateful for the opportunity it has had. Prominent Matrons Attend. Mrs. J. H. Joyce, wife of the pro. TTietor of the Hazlewood, with Mrs. E. B. Morrison and Mrs. E. M.

Lewis, president of th Monday Musical Club, gave repeated expressions of her indorsement of the good work done by the cooking school and by Mrs. Vaughn. Mrs. W. J.

IX, pastor of Rose City Methodist Episcopal Church, ar rived last night after an absence of five weeks. He attended the general conference in Saratoga. N. Y.. visited his father in Phila delphia and preached in his for mer church in East Orange, N. J. ment was favored, and violently op posed a bond issue in Umatilla County where sentiment seemed to favor bitu lithic. My sole and only interest In the im provement of the roads Is the progress, development and advancement of the state. Oregon, with Its matchless re sources, limitless opportunities and un bounded possibilities, should be the foremost of the Pacific Coast states, and, to my mind, the most Important factor to bring- about this result is the improvement of its highways, but the tactics adopted by Mr. Moore not only tend to retard this form of de velopment, but discourage those who are willing to give it their moral and financial encouragement and support.

The directed verdict for the defend ant in the suit of John Loop against Overbeck, Cook & Co., stockbrokers. promised by Circuit Judge McGinn sev. eral weeks ago, was confirmed by him yesterday.

Moll complained that he had been "laid off" In February, when men bis Junior in the service had been per mitted to remain on duty. Deputy City Attorney Tomllnson explained that transfers of men from one department to another do not make them Juniors tn the department in which they go. If it were possible, he contended, civil service could be abused easily by the transfer of an obnoxious employe to another department and causing him to be laid off. as a Junior, there.

Benson Says Aman Moore's State ments Are Incorrect. PORTLAND. June S. (To the Edl tor.) A series of articles, misleading in intent. Inaccurate in statement and at absolute variance with facta, regard ing the paving of the highways of Multnomah County, are being pub lished by Aman Moore, a promoter the Oswego Cement Works. - These articles refleot on the honesty, integrity and business Judgment of the county officials, civic organizations and citizens of the county who recom mended the type of pavement used on a large percentage of the county's thoroughfares. While the articles are not taken seriously In Multnomah County, the publication of them In the country districts where no opportunity offers to become familiar with the facts will create an erroneous Impression, and to correct this prompts this com munication. Instead of the whole amount of the bond issue as stated in one of the ar ticles amounting to $1,250,000. but $747, 360 was appropriated for bitulithic. a two-Inch wearing surface, the lowest price ever heretofore paid. The profits or "royalty" on this is practically ab sorbed by the maintenance In Portland by the Warren company of a large office force and an extensive laboratory and a number of skilled, experienced workers during a long period of. the year, when this character of work is impossible, and the cost of maintenance for a period of 10 years required by the county. The paving of 60 miles was done by five separate companies, all home concerns-. One of the contractors con tended that he had completed his con tract on one section at a loss. About 10 miles was paved with ce ment at a oost of $174,384. If. as con tended, cement Is manufactured for 80 cents per barrel, and the selling price fixed at $1.80 per barrel, the profits of the cement people can be easily determined. Bitulithio was adopted after a search ing, careful and Impartial investigation by the county officials, representative citizens and committees from various clvlo organizations, all of whom had but one single object In view, namely, to obtain a pavement the most suitable and best for the roads, and to receive the most value for the money spent. After a year of experience, during which the roads were subjected to un- precedentedly heavy traffic and the test of a Winter of utmost severity, the unanimous opinion is that the choice made was wise and Judicious. It Is Impossible to determine the profits of the companies laying the pavements until the expiration of the maintenance period of 10 years, for which adequate security was given. One f act. remains, that, on at road, dvan 4 -A ' . m si,. " I 3L "t J" 4 4 7 1 " 1 t I x i -4 J' L:- SIOMMEST PRESENTED TO VETERAN S. MARSHFIELD, Or June 3. (Special.) During the Decoration day observances here last Tuesday a monument to the soldier and sailor dead was presented to the Sons of Veterans and the Grand Army of the Republic by the Marsnfield Evening Record, following the parade and ceremonies. The parade waa led by the Evening Record fife and drum corps of 22 pieces. The monument is erected in the Oddfellows Cemetery, where there are many unmarked graves of soldiers and sailors of the Civil War. The cannon and shot were donated by the Government and the dedi cation was made in 1915, although the monument was not then fin ished. One side of the monument has a bronze tablet with this in scription: "Dedicated to the memory of the soldiers and sailor dead by the Evening Record." The plot surrounding the monument is seeded and well kept. The cannon ball at the top of the structure is 17 feet from the base. War From Bible Standpoint Will Be Discnssed by P.

McGinn does not think much of civil service. "It's the great humbug of today," he asserted yesterday, when the action of John Jacob Moli to compel Com mlssloner Will Daly to re-employ him in the Street-Cleaning Bureau of the city, came up for hearing. Judge Mc Ginn went on to say that civil service was devised by "theorists, who meant well and desired to overcome the Jeffersonian plan of clean sweep In political offices at change of admin istration, but that it resulted, in.
