They'll be as glad to see you as you will be to see them if you treat them nicely, and I'd be humiliated if anything should happen to mar the pleasure of their stay." So saying. Mother Portland stooped and straightened a wrinkle in the par lor rug, then hurried upstairs, donned her high-heeled slippers, her new hob ble skirt, powdered her nose and pres ently appeared on the front porch, ready for eventualities. Record Crowd Expected. Unless all signs fail, the present week is to be the most animated in Portland's history. With the Victory Rose Festival, the annual convention of Pacific Coast Advertising Men's association and a number of smaller conventions on the calendar, the Rose City is called upon to act as hostess to what, it is estimated, will be the record number of strangers within her gates. For nearly a week past visitors from various parts of the northwest have been arriving. Telephone and telegraph wires have been humming the song of hotel reser vations. Letters and postcards have brought mesage upon message fore casting the influx that now is under way, while from other, sources the committees in charge have learned that the hospitality of the city will be taxed to properly care for those coming for the Victory celebration. Ad Men Come In Droves. Fully 500 delegates to the Ad Men's convention are expected here by to night. Members of the Portland club have made necessary reservations, through committees, for the accommo dation of these guests, but there are several thousand people due here in the coming 24 hours for whom reserva tions have not been made, according to the housing committee at Liberty temple, and an appeal is made to the people of Portland to throw open their homes, list available rooms and help maintain the city's reputation for hos pitality. The housing committee will be at Liberty temple all day today for the purpose of listing rooms and last night expressed confidence that the necessary 3000 rooms would be volun teered by residents of the city. Accommodations were available at the temple headquarters yesterday for 1346 persons, and by Wednesday, at the latest. 3000 additional rooms will be required. Hotel men of Portland are co-operating in every way with the Festival housing committee, and, as ', their rooms are practically all taken, " are referring guests to the committee. Mhole Week la Killed. The present week will be one con tinuous reel of big events. Beginning with the song reveille this morning, and continuing until the close of the annual ball of the Royal Rosarians in Cotillion hall Friday evening, there are to be no dull moments. Committees in charge of the various activities have details worked out to such a nicety that a chronicle of all numbers on the big programme of Victory Festival and ad men's convention must be left to another column. It is enough to say here that roses will be the predominat ing thought throughout the week, and roses will figure prominently in the color scheme. Which brings us to the point of deco rations. The Lane o' Laughter in the South Park blocks, and the oriental gardens in the North Park blocks will be ablaze with myriads or cotorea candescents arranged as a canopy over the pleasure grounds of the festival , . and interwoven in the foliage of those : - localities. Along the downtown streets have appeared endless streamers of fern and evergreen, with here and there a giant rose-light, a 1000-watt lamp the center of the blossom. There are eight, of these to each block, and when the switch is thrown, illuminating the city as never before, the mellow glow from the great metal flowers is expected to be something quite novel and beautltul. Decorations Ready Everywhere. The illumination of the streets has ? been fixed as one of the set events of the festival programme, somewhat the nature of a formal opening. Busi ness houses have vied one with another in arrangement of window and exterior decorations. Flags and bunting give the streets the appearance of one great American flag, while cut flowers, ferns and potted plants have been used with telling effect to give Portland the ap pearance of a monster garden. Running through the scheme of deco rations is the military note produced by the elaborate display of the national colors, reminding those attending the festival that this year's event is in honor of the boys who whipped the Hun. The military parade on Thurs day promises to be an event such as never before has been witnessed in the west, and the presentation of medals by the city of Portland to her heroes will be among the more impressive events of the week. The aeroplanes, which will fly in squadron formation from Bakersfield, Cal.. to the landing place at East More land municipal golf course, and the '.' cruiser Minneapolis, which will be in the harbor, will serve to add to the military and naval aspect of the Fes tival. First Meeting Today. Today's meeting of the Ad Men will be held in the auditorium, beginning at 3 o'clock, and will be presided over by President Charles K. Berg, with the fol lowing programme to be given: Music by Stockton Ad club quartet and Union County Ad club quartet. Prayer, Dr. Edward H. Pence, pastor of Westminster Presbyterian church. Inspirational address, Ole Hanson. mayor of Seattle. Address. "Importance of Pacific V Coast Ad Men's association in National Affairs. F. w.

IV CALIFORNIA. & i 1 ' i -r - . 1 I J - - "V Lieutenant Everett-S. Wisdom. Lieutenant Everett S. Wisdom, an army aviator of ' Rockwell field, who was killed FTiday, May 30, while flying from Rock well field to Warner, where he was to become a unit in the air patrol of the Cleveland national forest, was a well-known Portland, boy, and regarded as one of the-best aviators at the field. He was 24 years of age, and received his commission as second lieutenant in September, 1918. On account of his smile under all circum stances, he was familiarly known to his companions as "Smiley," . and his death caused deep regret among army officers and enlisted men alike. . During the funeral, aeroplanes flew in formation overhead, and the entire personnel of commis sioned officers of Rockwell field, except those on duty, participated in the services. The band from the cruiser Minneapolis preceded the truck bearing the casket and the escort of officers followed. The casket was draped with flags and covered with flowers, and the air insignia, worked out In red. white and blue flowers, occupied a place of prominence. The body was taken to Ban Francisco for cremation, and the ashes will be sent to Portland to be placed with that of Lieutenant Wisdom's father and mother. The young man met his death while flying in a heavy fog, the machine crashing into the side of a mountain. The wreckage caught fire when the gasoline tank bursted. and Lieutenant Wisdom's companion, who was badly in jured and burned, was unable to aid him. Multnomah hotel, will be opened at o'clock this evening. This display said to be four times larger than tha shown at the San Francisco exposition and contains exhibits from all section of the northwest. It is in charge Charles JSnglish, and 22 trophies will bo awarded during the convention prizes for best displays. M. II.. Smead, who is in charge of en tertainment. desires a large number o autos in addition to the 150 already chartered for use day and night. He assisted by Mrs. Caroline .Tones, of th motor corps of the Women's Xationa Service league, who will take charge of the entertainment of wives of visiting delegates. Members of the festival finance com mittee announced yesterday that large bottles had been placed in the down town section for use In receiving con tributions to the festival fund. In view of the. fact that a small town in the valley gave S30.000 to have the aviators stop at tiat place, and In view of the fact that Tacoma will expend some $90,000 for its celebration, the commit tee feels that Portland people should not hesitate to make up the deficit now confronting those in charsre.

While delegates to the 16th annual onvention of the Pacific Coast Adver tising Men s association are coming to Portland this week, ostensibly for a good time and to enjoy the hospitality of the Rose City, there is an undercur rent of serious business which threat ens to break on the convention floor in one of the most bitter contests in the history of the organization on the coast. The issue is that of affiliation with the national organization, which has been under consideration for some time, and definite action will be , taken at the Portland meeting. Speakers from eastern cities, includ ing William D'Arcy, of St. Louis, presi dent of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, are to be present at the convention, and, it is understood, some of them, as advocates of the af filiation. F. W. Kellogg, of California, vice-president for the Pacific coast, also will be present. There is considerable opposition . In the Pacific states, it is said, to the proposal to affiliate with the larger or ganization: the contention being that such affiliation will mean the surrender ! of the independence now enjoyed. A movement to formally recognize the in dependence of Ad clubs west of the Rocky mountains is looked for during the convention. . Opponents of the independence idea argue that the question to be decided is whether the independent organiza tions are capable of exploiting the great resources of the western country, the manufacturing, timber, crops of various kinds, fishing and mining. In any event, it is predicted the Ad Men will not find the Portland visit without some unpleasantness, for the issue has grown to proportions that make immediate settlement imperative. Chief among the entertainment fea tures provided by the Portland club will be the trout breakfast to be served on Eagle creek, 45 miles east of the city. Thursday morning, as a closing event of the gathering. Four hundred dele gates and members of the Portland club will be taken to that point in autos and a big out-door banquet served. NATATQR1UM PLANS SAFE SPECUL BOARD REPORTS NO DANGER IS THREATENED. Opposition of First Congregational Church on Architectural Grounds Void. No damage will result to the founda tion of the First Congregational church as a result of the costruction of a nata torium on property directly in the rear of the church, providing-ordinary care is used by the contractors in construct ing the building. This is the judgment of a special committee, composed of City Kngineer Laurgaard. Water Kngineer Randlett and Chief Building Inspector Plummer. appointed by Actig Mayor Bigelyow for the Durpose of making an investigation. The committee suggest tht sub-drains constructed of tile, laid in a trench filled with gravel, be installed under the bottom of the tank for the pur pose of carrying any possibl leakage or ground water to the sewer. The committee report that other than this suggestion, nothing further is needed to make the situation absolutely sate. Officials and members of the church protested to the city council agtinst the proposed atatorium on the ground that possible seepage from the ewlm minpf tank might undermine the church foundation. The committee reports that the fill referred to by the church of ficials was made more than 50 years ago and has settled thoroughly, and that there is no danger from the pro posed natatorium on this score. Architect W. W. Lucius, in charge of construction of the natatorium building. has anounced that the swimming tank will be moved three feet further awaly from the church building than had first been planned, and the committee re ports this move will substantially im prove conditions. The report will be submitted to the city council Wednesday for approval The council has no legal way in which to stop the construction 'of the build ing. having already issued a permit for it. The protest was ot made until after the permit was granted. It Is probable that no attempt will be made by the council - to delay the construction, fol lowing the assurance from the special committee that the church, will not be damaged through the erection of the natatorium.
