W, Robinson, a Coast J. E. Minor Wounded. J. E. Minor, aged 21, sustained a painful but not serious wound yester day morning at his farm near Hills dale, when his shotgun accidentally discharged when he was shooting crows. The shot lodged in his left shoulder. He was brought to St. Vincent's Hospital for treatment. and The in the garden and up an honest-to-goodness live Mr and Mrs. Thomas Thumb never rustled in broadcloth and black bombazine as they did yesterday when they shoved aside the musty years and stood once more before the admiring throng. Charlie Chaplin was never more real nor his feet more mischiev ous than when in the hands of his juvenile imitator yesterday, for the kids gave a circus out In Irvington yesterday afternoon and the soldier boys in the trenches will have a few more good old smokes as a direct bene fit. This circus was staged in the base ment of the Thomas Comerford home, 500 East Twenty-fourth street north and the women folks and Young Amer ica from blocks around passed through the door as Russell Wood, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ted Wood, took in the paste boards and counted up the .cash. It cost a little, red cent to get by the portals, and peanuts they sold for 5 cents a bag. The fortune ; teller in vited you into the mysterious wjg wam, but it cost you a penny to get out. All in all, more than $2.50 was taken in and it will all be turned over to the Oregonian tobacco fundi for the soldiers. As if it would do her any good, Mrs. Tim Wood. 529 East Twenty-third street . north, stood amazer" when her young sons commandeered a perfectly whole glass fruit jar in which, to cage the only live snake in the neighbor hood, which was caught, cudgeled and canned alive by young Tim and Mar shall Wood, two of the enterprising impresarios of the tobacco fund's cir cus. What - matter the high cost of kitchen utensils when there's a circus around? T,he fortunes never were that little and pretty Florence Bennett couldn't tell as she sat back In her draped majesty and unraveled the past and punctured the future. And flour! There was a good-sized .batch of bis cults lost to some hungry daddy after David and Dean Goodsell made up lor their roles as clowns and jesters of the circus. To Richard Wood' and petite Barbara Comerford fell that choice morsel of. histrionic art, play ing Mr. and Mrs. Tom Thumb. Young Tim '"rood. is nursing a few black -and blue spots today for, gee whiz! didn't he have to do the acro batic stunts? What kind of a circus is that where there isn't a trapeze and a turning bar? Russell Wood let none escape. Wasn't he the ringmas ter, though? Cracked a whip, just like nothing and put everybody, from the clown to the snake, through the paces in lively fashion. And Charlie Chaplin had better look to his laurels. Gordon McDowell cut loose and showed them all that he knew a thing or two about comedy and imitation. Chaplin should never hope to have so much "on" his feet as Master McDowell did yesterday. Max well Gilliland, with his makeup box, left nothing to be desired from the rainbow, at all. Harriet Wood inject ed the only serious note into the occa sion and, as a Red Cross worker, sold peanuts till the boy who stood on the burning deck couldn't talk. Yessir, it was a first-class circus. Shoplifter Sent Back Home. Miss Marie Lapinsky received a sus pended sentence yesterday from Muni cipal Judge Rossman after she had ad mitted stealing a neck piece and night cap from the Meier &.

The Oregon Civic league spent a merry luncheon hour yesterday at the Hotel Multnomah in close pursuit of the "nigger in the woodpile." having reference to the high cost of keeping warm. Special Investigator Humason dis cussed his findings in the recent fuel investigation. He stated that the ex cessive cost of labor last Spring pre vented farmers from hiring help in the wood lots and rendered the cord wood supply far short of normal. This - shortage, in turn, caused an exorbitant demand for slabwood. The mlllmen. confronted by higher wages, added 50 cents a cord to the price of slabwood, while deliveries also be came more expensive. At the conclusion of Mr. Humason's report Commissioner Dan Kellaher an nounced that the city was loath to enter the fuel business, but that ex cessive prices now prevailing were apt to drive the municipality to take ac tion to relieve the consumer. Postmaster Myers capped this asser tion with a warning that the Govern ment was conducting an investigation of-its own., and that it may soon ap point Federal fuel inspectors for the larger towns and cities. Throughout the discussion members of the Civic League' bombarded the speakers with pertinent questions, and in substance, announced the general belief that fuel prices are far too high, even when the increased cost of labor is considered. Several prominent fuel dealers who appeared at the luncheon earnestly as-, serted that tlie prices prevailing are justified, and that dealers are losing money on their sales to th public.
