THE SUNDAY OREGONIAJT, PORTLAND, AUGUST 27, 1916. GAMES AND WORK TAUGHT . Athletic Medal Signifies Bolder Has Unusual Ability Junior Craft Handiwork to Bo Exhibited in Schools. The work of the public playgrounds, according: to J. Lee Thompson, super visor, will prove to be worth many times what it has cost the community. During the past Summer two p lay er round directors have been stationed at each of 15 parks and have engaged nearly all the youngsters of the city in healthy activities. Games of playground ball, handball, ' basketball, volleyball, soccer and cap tain ball have been held at the various playgrounds and a championship series was held between all of the city play ground Dan teams. rracn ana neiu events are also of frequent occurrence at the playgrounds and skill on the playground apparatus has been dem onstrated by a series of exhibitions. A regular system of gymnastics and athletics has been taught, and boys ana girls who become proficient are awarded a playground medal. The earning of a medal involves more than ordinary ability, and according to play ground supervisor Thompson, any child seen wearing a Portland. Public Play l ground "1916" emblem has passed a ! most rigid test and can well be proud I of the achievement. I Juvenile Crafts Taught. ' Beside the athletic events taking j place regularly at the playgrounds, there has been increasing activity in other directions and Juvenile handi crafts have been followed by the frequenters of the playgrounds. Among the occupations followed are Tafia work, carpenter work, the manu facture of doll furniture and needle work for both boys and girls. A junior exhibit is to be held at all of the public schools in the Fall, in which will be shown the work that has been done by the boys and girls who took part in the playground activities. The doll houses at Forestry Park and at Kenll worth have caused much favorable com ment. The story hour has been especially successful . this year and the children tit all playgrounds have given eager bttention at the appearance of Miss Jessie Millard, who is connected with the children's department at the Cen tral Library. More has been done in dramatics than in the past and in the future it is hoped that regular plays can be staged by the playground children. Parent-Teacher Body Aids. The various centers of the Parent Teacher Association have co-operated with the playground directors in se curing better attendance at the play grounds. A series of picnics have been held to interest the parents of school children in the playgrounds, and by personal propaganda a large num ber of mothers have become accustomed to sending their children to the near est playground. The attendance showed a decided in crease during the latter part of the Summer, after the weather became more favorable, although the total at tendance has been no larger than dur ing the previous year. The number of playground accidents has been kept at a minimum this year, and the list is much shorter than in former years. Parents are assured that their children can encounter no dangers whatever so long as they remain under the care of the playground directors. The organized work has been better conducted this year because of a very efficient staff of playground directors. The playgrounds are part of the park department, of which James O. Con vlll is superintendent, and are super vised by J. Lee Thompson. The whole department is under the Department of Public Affairs, of which George L. Baker is commissioner. Directors Are Named.

REPORT DUE WEDNESDAY President Clark, Who Will Devote Most of Time to Active Direc tion of Affairs, Is Said to Favor Suggestion. W. D. B. Dobson, secretary of the Trade and Commerce Bureau of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, will undoubtedly be elected secretary of the Chamber to succeed George E. Hardy, resigned. The election Is expected to take place Wednesday, and will prob ably become effective at once. A nominating committee of' three: W. F. Woodward, J. C. Ainsworth and Franklin T. Griffith, was named last Wednesday to recommend a successor to Mr. Hardy. It is assumed they will name their choice next Wednesday, and it is intimated that the nominee will be Mr. Dodson. He is believed to be acceptable to the - directors of the Chamber and to O. M. Clark, the presi dent Mr. Clark, it is said, will give most of bis time to promoting the activities of the Chamber. He will give his per sonal attention to its activities and It is felt that the executive secretary should be a man thoroughly in accord with his ideas and acceptable to him in every way. These qualifications, it is said, are possessed by Mr. Dodson to a remarkable degree and he enjoys fully the confidence of President Clark. Members of the nominating com mittee. It is rumored, are favorable to the selection of Mr. Dodson. They agree that his work in connection with the Trade and Commerce Bureau has been effective and constructive. Furthermore, they believe it is idle to go far afield for a manager when such good material, exists right here at home. The question of salary for the new manager is not yet determined. It is a foregone conclusion that the J7B00 salary paid Mr. Hardy while he was in office will become a thing of the past. Substantially less than half that sum, perhaps half of it, will prevail, it is said, for a time at least. VISTA HOUSE IS RUSHED Bl'II.DIXG TO BE READY FOR USE THIS FALL. Memorials In Panels Facing- Cardinal Points Are Suggested by Samuel C. Lancaster. The Vista House memorial to the pio neers of Oregon which ia to stand at Crown Point, on the Columbia River Highway, will be finished sufficiently for use this Fall, the 'first story and basement equipment being finished and temporarily roofed. Actual construction began a few days ago, ground being broken for the building July 27. The campaign for funds for the building was begun a little more than a year ago and con tributions have been receeived from pi oneers, school children, automobillsts and business men, and a large share was furnished by Multnomah County. Edgar M. Lazarus is the architect and Samuel C. Lancaster, engineer of the Highway, has furnished many of the suggestions as to decoration of the building.' The structure will be finished next Spring, as soon as the Winter weather is past. Mr. Lancaster, .whose genius made this point an engineering possibility, has suggested that the four panels in the walls of the second story, which face the cardinal points, be used for memorials executed in glass mosaic on the order of the famous "Dream Gar- A FEW moments spent each morning in the proper care of the mouth, throat nd nasal passages will go far toward making the entire day more pleasant and more worth while. It will not only make you more comfortable, but it will lend a feeling of exhilaration and protect you from all manner of germ con tagion, such as colds and grippe, as well as the more dangerous contagious diseases. Try these suggestions for even two or three mornings, and you will find them so beneficial and pleasant that you will surely wish to con tinue. ' When you first arise, go into the bathroom and bathe, as is your usual custom. Then cleanse your teeth with Benetol Tooth Cream. This is the only tooth cream m the world that is really antiseptic and germicidal (others claim to be, but they cannot show any real ger micidal strength). Now put from 12 to 20 drops of Benetol in a glass and fill it with hot water. With this, rinse your mouth and gargle your throat. Drink what is left down to a small quantity. Di lute this still further by about 4 to 1. With this, either use a nasal douche or snuffle it up your nose to clear out all the accumulated phlegm and catarrhal inflammation. If you shave every morning, let us suggest that you use Benetol Ointment immediately after shaving, following this with Benetol Pow der (in place of talcum). This will keep your face in most excellent condition. In fact, the more you use Benetol products the more you will value them as being far superior to any others. When you use Benetol as your monring mouth wash and gargle, we would strongly urge that you swallow a part of it. This will sterilize tie stomach and -bowels, prevent stomach trouble, cure dyspepsia, indigestion, gas on the stomach and ulceration of the stomach. One trial of Benetol Ointment will convince you that nothing has ever equalled this prep aration as a tonic for the skin. It is an abso lute physical impossibility for a man to con tract "Barber's Itch" or any other contagious skin disease if he uses "Benetol" or "Benetol Ointment." Try these suggestions rinse your mouth gargle and swallow "Benetol." You will feel so clean so sterilized so antiseptically clean that you will never go back to the old way.

At. den" of the Curtis Publishing Com pany's new building In Philadelphia. In a letter to Sidney Bell, the artist who is making the preliminary studies for these four panels, Mr. Lancaster said: "The west panel should represent the Lower Columbia sketched from Tongue Point when the sun is Just going to rest in the broad Paclnc The ship Colum-bia-Redivlva is seen crossing the bar. Captain Gray standing on the forward deck looking ahead to the distant shores of the kingly river which he discovered and named. "The east panel should represent the sun rising above the Cascade range. Mount Hood could be brought into the picture and Crown Point as well, the sketch being made from a point Just opposite Camas. This Is the point to which Captain Broughton ascended the river when the British sought to claim this territory. A picture made from this point would show the broad Co lumbia River, Crown Point, the Cas cade range. Mount Hood and Levi-is and Clark with their company of Indiana paddling their canoes, which could be shown in the Immediate foreground. "The north panel" should represent Fort Vancouver with the Columbia River In the foreground, showing the arrival of the Montreal Express a company of some 60 people, some of them Indians and halfbreeds, in canoes). Ships lying at anchor laden with furs and merchandise. The figure of Dr. McLoughlln should be brought out prominently in this picture. "The south panel should represent the Willamette Valley, which was the Mecca of the early pioneers. Oregon City and the beautiful waterfalls should be shown in the distance. The village of Portland might also be indicated, and the beautiful Willamette to its Junction with the Columbia. It might be possible to bring the old steamer Beaver into the foreground of this pic ture as she steamed along the Columbia on her trial trip after having connected up her paddle wheels at the mouth of the Lewis River. I think this particu larly appropriate, because the Beaver was the first steam vessel to come into the Pacific Ocean." Below these four spaces and the four similar spaces below the window sills of the second story is to run a me morial frieze In marble. This frieze is to show the different stages of pio neer life from the time of Lewis and Clark to 18S9, the year when Oregon was admitted to statehood, as this year has been designated by the Oregon Historical Society as the official pio neer date of those who came to the Oregon Country. , It is the intention of those in charge of this building that It be dedicated exclusively to the memory of the early pioneers. In the basement of this structure are located the public comfort station for men and women, concessions and space for mechanical equipment. Special provision has been made for a restroom and small emergency rooms for the women. The building is to he heated and lighted by electricity. The toilet fix tures are to be ventilated by an electric-driven exhaust fan. CAPTAIN HAS APOPLEXY Edward Johnsen Is Stricken in As toria Pilot's Room. ASTORIA. Or.. Aug. 26. (Special.)
