The yonng men of 45 years old or
more, members of the "Forty-rive
Efficlenoy Club," have launched a
campaign to eat her into the fold every
qualified man in tha oity of Portland
and to put the organization on a solid
financial working hauls. Such were
the plans inaugurated at the meeting
last Friday night of the efficiency
board and the campaign committee,
composed of Fred Spoerl, W. C. Lynch
and Charles J. Barnard.
The club, organized some time ago
with the avowed purpose of lifting the
embargo against the employment of
men more than 4 5 years of age, here
tofore has existed merely through the
association of its members.
With an enrollment of 460 members
and the newly established dues of X
a year the club has opened headquar
ters in an office at 614 Swetland build
ing for the handling of cases of un
employment among the members of the
club. In many cases work has been
procured for men through the medium
of advertising, and It is along these
lines that the club intends to work.
Watchword Is Efficiency.
"The brotherly feeling is muoh more
evident among the men of 45 than
among- the younger generation," said
Mr. SDoerl yesterday. JOur club in
tends to work both from an economic
and a philanthropic basis, from the
viewpoint of the employe rather than
the employer.
"The club will work with the safe
guard of efficiency and will not send
a plasterer to fill the lob behind
Jeweler's counter. And what we want
understood is that we are not working
against the young men of today, but
that we are opening up the way for
them so "that they will not have to
encounter the difficulties that we have
met when they reach the midday of
life."
"Not only men who are out of em
ployment are urged to Join, but men
who are able to give employment," ex
plained Mr. Lynch. "What we want is
an organization that will open the way
for men of exemplary habits to ob
tain work despite the maximum age
limit in Federal, municipal, corpora
tion and ordinary business circles.
Average Adult Age More Than 45.
"The average of the adult male popu
lation is more than 45 years. Thus
by restriction in the age of employ
ment as at present one-half of the
adult population is banished from con
sideration of employment and the other
half has a corner on the labor market.
As a result the employer has lessened
his opportunity and. resources. Diffi
culty Is encountered as a consequence
in Drocuring assistance to carry on
the business enterprises of the world.
If the maximum age limit is lifted the
resources of obtaining men for em
ployment will be doubled."
The prime objects of the club may
he summarized as follows:
To better the condition of men of 45
To urge the employment of efficient
men irrespective of age.
To inculcate the principles of the
eaualltv of mankind.
To assist each other to a higher
plane of usefulness.
The next meeting of the club will be
held In Library Kail. Friday, March
22, and, beginning in May, on the
, second and fourth Fridays of each
month.

club and E. J. Barry is secretary.

SHEEP EAT COTTONSEED
Rancher Says Ground Meal Is Valu
able Winter Feed.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or., March 8.
(Special.) Ground cottonseed meal is
a big boon to sheepmen of Klamath and
Lake counties, and another year will
pee them Investing in this product heav
ily for Winter feed for sheep, is the
statement of Dan Mallory, prominent
sheepman of Lakeview, Or. Mr. Mal
lory is feeding a large band of sheep
In the Bonanza district this winter.
Mr. Mallory states that a certain
amount of the meal is worth six times
as much as that same quantity of grain
feed and that he is having great suc
cess with it this year. He states that
It is now being proposed by the sheep
men of his district to send out a man
next Fall to purchase enough of this
weed to supply a number of the sheep
growers.
It appears to have been the Intent 1
of Archie McCoy, 23 years old, to
equip himself completely with stolen
property, declare the police, who have
investigated his recent activities, fol
lowing his arrest Thursday for purse
snatching. Riding a bicycle close to the side of
Mrs. Harry a. McCraken, of 539 East
Twenty-fourth street North, it is said,
McCoy 6eized her purse and pedaled
swiftly away. A few minutes after
ward he was arrested by Motorcycle
Patrolmen Coulter and Bales. He was
charged with larceny from the per
son, and will be given a hearing on
Monday in Municipal Court.
While McCoy paced a cell and while
his father strove strenuously to pro
cure his release, the young man's rec
ord was investigated by City Detect
ives Swennes and Moloney, who de
clare that their findings implicate him
in at least four recent robberies.
He Is said to have robbed the hard
ware store of F. L Howard. 1927 East
Glisan street; the store of J. S. Yeast,
grocer, at East Seventy-fourth and
Glisan streets; the Hansen jewelry store,
at 990 Belmont street, and the Port
land Knitting Company's store, at 1262
East Stark street.
The detectives allege that a Jimmy
found in McCoy's home exactly fits
the marks made in prying open a
window at Howard's store, and that
watches and knives stolen there were
in his possession. He is also said to
have been wearing knitted garments
Identified as the property missing from
the Portland Knitting Company's store,
and to have had in his possession ar
ticles of jewelry stolen from the Han
sen Jewelry store.
McCoy sometimes employs the alias
of Albert Johnson, and has a police
record. His recent errors constitute a
clear violation of the parole extended
him, say the police.
When arrested McCoy wore three
caps, a super-imposed structure that
attracted criticism, but which ha was
permitted to retain. Yesterday morn
ing, reaching through the bars of his
cell corridor, he pitched the surplus
headgear out of the fifth-story window,
where it fell at the feet of Detective
Captain Baty, on Oak street.
The puzzled officer picked up the
caps, and the police speculated for a
time on the probability of an attempted
Jail-break. McCoy set suspicion at
rest by a surly denial, adding that he
naa aeciaea merely to reduce his stock.
Elton Hitchcock, a comivininn nf
Coy, is also under arrest, charged with
participation In the various thefts at
tributed to the latter. H was onr.ro.
j hended when he approached the police
oner to am tnem in the in
vestigation against McCoy.
Detectives Goltz and Howell last
night took Elton Hitchcock to Mc
Coy's home at 1251 Belmont street,
where they located other goods said to
have been stolen by the latter. The
alleged loot Included a number of
sweaters, bathing suits, socks and a
typewriter.
The detectives also located a trunk
In a room at Seventeenth and Morri
son streets, in which they found sev
eral sides of bacon, some cameras and
62 phonograph records corresponding
with the list of those taken from the
home of Dr. Ralph A. Fenton, 283 Cor
nell road, last month.
Professor H. H. Herdman. principal
of Washington High School, whose
house was entered by a burglar on the
night Dr. Fenton's h ome hnmn xiram
robbed, probably will be called by the
police to Identify McCoy. Professor
Herdman returned home while th
burglar was in the house, anri th mr.

Unitejd States Steel Corp
President Samuel Rea of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, every director of the road and five
hundred and twenty-five of its officers own
The Encyclopaedia Britannica.
Eleven hundred officers and employees of
the United States Steel Corporation, including
ex-Judge Gary, chairman of the board, and
practically all of the directors are owners of
the Britannica.
A large manufacturing company bought
twenty-seven sets of the Britannica for execu
tives and men of its organization.
A bank of prominence sent in an order for
seventeen sets for different employees.
THESE are examples of the places of power, main
springs of our great national business energy, where
The Encyclopaedia Britannica is considered an essential
factor to maintaining the highest standards of efficiency
and promoting progress.
One hundred and sixty thousand sets of the Britan
nica have been purchased by corporations, banks, mer
chants, colleges, technical schools, universities,
scientists, artists, writers, teachers and everyday busi
ness men and women who give the Britannica the
place of honor among their books.
No other book of reference ever published has had so
large, so universal a sale. No other work of its kind ever
printed has been so widely distributed or has received the
world-wide approval accorded to this invaluable book.
Whether you own a set of the Britannica or not,
whether you ever saw a set or not, no matter who you
are, or where you live, or what you do, the Britannica
is, right now, helping to make your life easier, better,
more complete. Its influence touches you on every
side. This is a remarkable statement. It is true,
furthermore, the better acquainted you get with the
Britannica, the more directly it comes into your life;
the sooner you own a set for yourself, the greater will
be its influence for better things for you.
You live by facts. Everything you do,
everything you have is based on FACTS
Your morning newspaper brings the facts of the day to you.
Do you realize that this paper could not be written, printed and
distributed but for the knowledge possessed by its writers,
editors, pressmen, typesetters and proofreaders? Every first
class newspaper in the land uses the Britannica constantly,
scores of times daily because it has the facts, instantly avail
able, wholly authentic.
When you take your train or trolley to your office you are
carried there swiftly, safely, surely, because of FACTS.
Every switchman, conductor and train dispatcher, the engi
neers who built the trolley line and power plant that contribute
to your getting to work are governed by the identical knowledge
that is recorded and preserved in the Britannica.
The men who make the steel rails, the steel cars, the very
trucks and wheels of commerce and every machine for fash
ioning merchandise, are directed by men who read, who own,
and many of whom have contributed facts to the Britannica.
The food you eat, the clothing you wear, is produced and
distributed, bought and sold, for you on the basis of FACTS
contained in the Britannica.
The history and the FACTS about the money in your
pocket, its circulation, its value, its purchasing power, the
science of banking and finance, are contained in the Britannica,
and financiers and bankers value the Britannica for its infor
mation on this and thousands of pertinent subjects.
Pursue this thought into every avenue and byway of your daily life and always at some turn or corner you will run
squarely broadside into the Britannica the world's greatest book of facts, the greatest library of useful, usable
information ever published. Facts and information of every kind and of direct benefit to you in your business, in your
home, in your social life, are ready to your hand in the Britannica ready for you to put to work for your personal improvement.
Why benefit by this book only indirectly ?
You need the Britannica. Think this over seriously. It is your kind of a book, written for you in an interesting,
enjoyable way. It is your kind of a book in price and in purchase plan. Think this over seriously right now. There are
not a great many sets of the new Britannica. printed on India paper, left.
By acting promptly you can own the entire set (29 volumes) shipped for a first payment of $1.00. It is yours to use at
once, and you pay for it as you use it, in convenient monthly sums for a limited period. The few remaining sets are
going very rapidly. When they are gone your opportunity of ever owning the Britannica printed on India paper will
also be gone. This is because the war has completely stopped the making of India paper. The few sets left are the last
that can be offered printed on this beautiful paper that makes each volume only one inch thick and as convenient to read
as a monthly magazine. '
