Fourteen events were on the card, which was one of the best ever put on by the local council. Beginning with the crab race there was not a dull moment during the afternoon. The race was one of the most comical seen In any rally held here. Joe Miscovitz won this event after being crowded all the way by George Gorlave, who placed second. The horse-and-rlder contest proved the big stunt of the day. On the back of each "horse" was a rider who rushed at his opponent and tried to pull him off. When an entrant was thrown off he was eliminated. Walter Danzlger and Harold Rowley tied with Fred Boody and Jack Vines for first place. After they had tried in vain to dislodge each other, the judges decided it a draw. Fix Event Thriller. The fire-hy-frictlon and water-boiling event showed better than anything else on the programme the purpose of the boy scout movement. There were five entrants In this and the competi tion was exceptionally close. Sherwood Walls succeeded In nosing out his rivals after a very spirited contest. Philip Webber was second and Wayne Taylor tihrd- Troop 23 won the wall scaling con test and troop 43 carried off the second honors. There were eight men on a team and the wall was 10 feet high. Ora Folndexter and Harold Rowley divided honors In the archery events, ltowley taking the direction and Foin dexter the distance. Foindexter stood next to the grandstand on the east end and shot his arrow to the opposite fence. Summary of Contests Troop 27 won the first-aid-to-the-ln-dured contest.

SETH BAILEY, PORTLAND BOY, . IS BOTH WRITER AND FIGHTER Stories of Great Battles, Prtn ted in "The Stars and Stripes," Popular With Soldiers. BY REX H. IiAMPMAN. AR1S, April 26. (By Mall) ""Writer and fighter, too," is the line that may be used to describe the military career of Sergeant Seta T. Bailey, who was born at Murphy, Josephine county. Or., and whose par-. ents, Mr. and Mrs. George N. Bailey, now live at 326 Sherman street. Port land. As a fighter he saw all phases of the war, was on every front, took part in every major action in which American troops engaged, from and including Au gust, 1917, until the armistice, was in the front line on the last day of the war, and went into Germany with the army of occupation, reaching the Rhine at Coblenz, December 11- As a writer Sergeant Bailey origi nated the "Dear Henry" letters, pur porting to be written by a roughneck doughboy to his pal in another unit in France. He began sending the letters to the Stars and Stripes, the "of. by and for" A. E. F. newspaper, in July. 1918. They made an instant hit and it was recognized that in "S. T. B-," as they were signed, the A. E. F. had found its humorist a real doughboy who suf fered, knew and felt all that anydough- boy did, and who saw everything that happened through the glass of a droll and diverting philosophy. Bailey was a member of the Dallas company of the Oregon national guard. and came across with the 162d regi ment of the 41st or "Sunset" division. He landed in England on Christmas day. 1917, and in France January 1, 1918. At Toul he became an Instructor in hand- grenade throwing, bayonet - tratning and scouting, and was thus engaged when he "took his pen in hand" to write his first letter to "Dear Henry." The officers in charge of the Stars and Stripes lost little time in having the burgeoning humorist transferred to the staff of the paper in Paris. That was on August 5, 1918, and it looked like Bailey might be destined to spend the rest of the war, like many another battle-hungry hero, on the "Paris front." But the Stars and Stripes did not pro pose to cover the war from the rear, and Bailey was suddenly rushed off to the Vesle river, where he took part In the taking of the towns of Fismes and Fismetes. He was gassed and slightly wounded by high explosive H. E., the doughboy calls it in the St. Mihiel of fensive. The last day of the war found him on the Argonne front, ready to go over the top in the big drive which the Heinies knew was coming, and which knowledge hastened their sign ing of an armistice which amounted to unconditional surrender. The Stars and Stripes had more than one correspondent on the front, but the Fame quality that endeared his "Henry letters to the entire A. K. r . its very doughboyitshness made his stories of the great battles popular with the boys Rooms for Festival .Crowds Are Still Eagerly Sought by Committee Handling Problem. Volunteer co-operation of the Port' land Realty board with the housing committee of the Victory Rose Festi val was offered yesterday by J. G Rohrer, president, who expressed him self as believing the present situation xiremeiy critical, and dangerous to the success of the entire festival. Mr. Rohrer took 25 cards and orom- ised to return each one of them signed by a householder who will agree to care for at least one Victory Festival g-uest. Paul A. cowglll, secretary of he Realty board, has placed the ros ter of the board members and its ad dressogTaph at the disposal of the housing committee. Letters will be sent to each resident living in a loca tion accessible to the business section. The appointment of Mr. Rohrer to the executive board of the housing committee was announced yesterday by the chairman, H. W. Arbury. The com mittee will meet tomorrow morning at 0 o clock in Liberty temple to discuss further plana The matter of housinr Portland visi tors during festival time was presented at the noon meeting of the Civic club at the Benson hotel yesterday. The club voted to give its hearty co-operation to the campaign for rooms, and large per cent of its members signed cards pledging the use of rooms in their own homes for the city's guests. The Arcadia Press voluntarily offered o be responsible for 400 rooms In Port land homes. At the housing bnrean in Liberty temple approximately S50 rooms have been listed.

As the designation of an institution it means nothing. ' For example: The Owl Drug Co. might just as well have been called The "Bird" Drug Co. The name in itself is but a group of words, by which the company is identified in the business and legal records of the State and Nation. Used as expressing a reputation it is everything- "a Good Name is rather to be chosen than great riches." The management of The Owl Drug Co., which has never been, changed since its organization twenty-seven years ago, has always tried to make the name synonymous with Quality, Value and Service; to have it remembered, not because it is easy to remember, but because of pleasant association; and to make it an asset more to be considered than stocks of merchandise and holdings of land. If, when you think of drugs and toilet articles you think first of The Owl Drug Co., there is everything in that name, for then it means more than figures and words can express. .ptOtoua Pm . ce.u.ankT.om WASHINGTON ST.

You 'would reason, and justly so, that no article of value would be safe in the house with such a person on your premises. Yet you will live month after month and perhaps year after year with decayed teeth and diseased gums in your mouth. The thief would only steal articles of money value easily replaced, while decayed teeth and diseased gums will under mine your health and in time kill you or leave you a physical wreck. Such neglect of your teeth is unpardonable in an age when dental skill has been brought to an exact science. If you have any decayed stumps in your mouth come to my office at once and have them painlessly removed and if a few sound teeth remain, a bridge substituted. If you have no sound teeth on which to attach a bridge, then a scientifically constructed and perfectly fitting plate will give you satisfactory results.
