TTIE STJXDAT OKEGOXIAX, PORTLAND. XOVE3IBER 12. 1916. ARMY OF SOLDIERS IS flOW If STORES REED COLLEGE TEAMS WHICH WILL DEBATE WITH UNIVERSITY 1 OF WASHINGTON, DECEMBER 14. 18 Charging Battalions That Are Delight to Youngster Are Offered Christmas Buyer. " ALL ARE AMERICAN-MADE Lead, Pewter and Celluloid, Used " Extensively in War Operations, Manufactured Into Playthings in America for Children. The biggest army America ever raised is now crowding the toy shop shelves for the Christmas muster. Many colors and many sizes, with mus kets on their shoulders and without, charging soldiers, stiffly standing sol diers, soldiers on horseback, soldiers firing big and little guns, soldiers with swords waving and banners flying all these are ready for the Yuletlde attack, when they will be mowed down toy whole regiments by the eager gift choosing shopper. The Christmas soldier this year is strictly American the first time in history. He was made here; he could have been made nowhere else, so In dispensable for the purposes of killing people are lead and pewter, the chief elements of the toy shop soldier of to day. America, Only, Han Metal Soldier. Europe needs its store of these met als for the use of the live soldier. America has plenty to use in making his tiny counterpart, the sort that de lights little tots on Christmas. For the olden-time wooden soldier, who stood stirrer than any ramrod on a tiny round wooden base, has gone to the happy land of memory and dreams Rlong with so many other things deae to the heart of the last generation. Nowadays soldiers are made of metal, and Germany, the European toy cen ter, needs all the metal it can accumu late for war purposes. But the juvenile who loves to mass liis toy battalions -fn simulated charge and retreat is provided for this year by American manufacturers and he will not go without his pet playthings. The war spirit that rocks the worid Is said to be responsible for tlie great er vogue of toy soldier. Auto Replaces Toy Horse. The popular favor of the automobile Js also reflected in the toyshops. The horse is recessive; the auto dominant. Only a few stalls are needed to stable the Christmas horses. These prancing steeds with fiery eye and curly tails pre relegated to very small sections of the display space, while big garages in the toy sections of the big stores are required to house the small but elaborate motor cars that await the Inspection of the gift buyer. Dolls, always a big Item in the Christmas shopping list, are numer ous and elaborate this season and they, too, are mostly of American make. Fur the first time the home manufacturer is able to offer dolls that approach the German perfection. Some German supplies are on hand, but the bulk of the offerings are made in Amer.ti. Europe Uses Celulloid In War. French ivory and celluloid tovs this season are American made, for the es sentials of celluloid enter into the manufacture of high explosives, aid Europe has none of these to waste on peace purposes. It is all urgently needed abroad to kill regiments of living men, to 1-i.y waste cities and farming country and to make desolation and ruin where for centuries peaceful populations have worked and builded. Japan has entered the American market very largely this season with china and toys of some kinds. Sets i t doll dishes are made by the cunning Japanese for the delight of American children and some of the highest prrade china in local stores is also from Japanese factories. One canr.-t tell it from the best Austrian chinas and the price is lower. Mechanical toys, Jumping jacks, trains that run by clockwork, all kinds of animated novelties that come under that head, are now being made at home where formerly all this sort of thing was imported from Germany. American Linens Offered. The war is having its effect on other things not in the toy departments, but which are prominent in the Christmas list nevertheless. Linens, such as for merly were brought from the Irish factories, are not to be had because tne war has ravaged the Belgian flax fields and those portions of Russia where this useful plant was grown. The flax fields are battlefields and war reigns where the fibre was grown and retted before it was sent to the manufacturing centers. Furs are scarce and expensive v.ith the trend toward higher prices. Ti:ia applies to many other things that cno will want to buy next month for Christmas gifts. Gloves will be out of the market ;-;oon. it is said. The skins mostly come from Morocco and Asia Minor. The goat herds are now neglecteTT, the ani mals are starved or they are eaten for food and the supply i3 failing. France Is the center of manufacture. Paper Scarcity Affects Gifts. The skins require expert handling in curing. They are scraped and stretched to a certain thinness before manufac ture and the skilled workmen have m large part joined the colors. 'Women are now doing the work, but they ar-3 not equal in skill to the workmen who have gone and the product is reduc c in volume. Christmas stationery will not be of the usual good quality, due to the scarcity of paper and its increased values. Christmas cards may lack -sv-ral "plies" in thickness and the tex ture should be examined this seasor. with less critical eye. Thanks to the United States, how ever. Christmas will supply the usual number of good things for the chil dren, on whose account Christmas mast have been invented. There will be no erious scarcity of anything in Port land shops to make it tne usual happy holiday that this grand old season is. The stores are ready for Yuletide choosing. FAIR HEADS WILL GATHER North Pacific Association Meet Con current With Livestock .Show. The North Pacific Fair Association will hold its annual meeting in Port land December 6 and 7. The dates of ihe Pacific International Livestock Exposition have been chosen as the time of holding the meeting, it is an nounced to members of the organiza tion by Secretary John W. Pace in a circular letter to members. Secretary Lea, of the Oregon State Fair, issued an invitation to the North Pacific Fair Associatidn to hold its next meeting in Portland at that time and this has been accepted. It is an nounced by Secretary Pace that ap proximately 60 members are expected to. be in attendance. miy i f V? $ P '. r I ' )lJ7 jdf " ' REEO TEAf.1 NAMED Preparations Made for Debate With Washington. DUAL AFFAIR DECEMBER 14 Miller and Weinstein Will Go to Se attle, While Haberly and Klei nau Are to Meet Invad ers in Portland. Members of the Reed College debating teams, which will engage in a dual congest with the University of Wash ington on December 14, were chosen this week by a faculty committee which has been attending the series of pre liminary debates. The question which has been selected for debate is: "Re solved, That intercollegiate debating be abolished." Lloyd Haberly and Glenn Kleinau have been chosen on the affirmative team, which will remain in Portland and meet the Washingtonians in the Reed College chapel. Horace Miller and Samuel Weinstein, veterans of last year's team, will take the negative Bide of the question and invade the terri tory of the University of Washington in Seattle. Both debates will be held on the night of December 14. Alternates Are Named. Two alternates have been selected to substitute on either team if any of the members are incapacitated.- Jack Levin is alternate for the affirmative, and Cocheng Chung, a graduate of Tsing Hua College, of Pekin, China, and a Boxer indemnity student of the Chinese government, will act as alter nate for the negative. The committee that chose the regular teams and their alternates were: Dr. W. T. Foster, Professor N. F. Coleman and R. D. Leigh. "Washington is the only university or college with which Reed will debate this year. Two Reed-Washington de bates have been held in the past. In the first debate, two years ago. Reed College was victorious in both affirma tive and negative. Last year the hon ors were evenly divided. Rumors from the University of Wash- CHISE8B MERCHAST AD OLD RESIDENT IS DEAD. t ' I ' -v - Sing Hay Lack. Sing Hay Luck, for many years one of the prominent Chinese merchants of Portland, died sud denly of heart trouble at his of fice, 286 Flanders street. He was 65 years of age. He had been in America for nearly 40 years and was well known and thought of both by Americans and Chinese of this city. He was a close friend of the late Seid Back. He leaves a wife, six sons 'and four daughters, all residents of Portland. ington are that the northern arguers are training earnestly 'Tor the coming debate, with the hope that a total vic tory will give them an even standing in the series. Most of the men on the Washington teams are selected from the law school. At Reed the interest is intense. De bating is the only intercollegiate ac tivity in which Reed College partici pates, and the men go in for it with all the vim of a football squad in the big game. President W. T. Foster will assist the students in their preparation. YOUNG MEN ADMIT GUILT Five From Camas to Be Tried for Contributing to Minor's Delinquency VANCOUVER, Wash., Nov. 11. (Spe cial.)

Diabetes Treated Successfully Medical science admits no definite cure for Diabetes, despite the many years of experimenting and research by foremost physicians the world over. However, this popular theory might be called fallacious if one were to judge from the following unsolicited testi monial from a grateful user of War ner's Safe Diabetes Remedy: "I had been troubled with Diabetes for 8 years. I heard about Warner's Safe Diabetes Remedy and I tried some of it and got myself in good condition and went to work again. One man said he doctored for 2 years and that one bottle of Warner's Safe Diabetes Rem edy did him more good than all the doc tors. I am much pleased and so thank ful for your life-saving remedy that I cheerfully recommend it to anyone troubled with Diabetes and I hope this will be the cause of helping many suf ferers."

Here is the reason. Whenever it ' hurts, you will not allow the operator to grind down tho E tooth enough to put on for you a real heavy crown or clean out all decay in the cavity. The result, you will have a E very thin crown that will wear E out in a year or two, or a E poorly filled tooth that will E soon decay again and all your money spent for nothing. How different when the work E is PAINLESS! The dentist can then do his work properly; the work will last you all your E life, and the best part is, your nerves are not shot to pieces from having your teeth fixed. : - V J . , ' " f 1 t Vrf - -1 Sr c "V " . . - .. . - DR.
