Portland was eased into convention month by the sessions of the State TUedical association and the alumni of the University of Oregon medical echool, and from now on, not a single week, and mighty few days, have blank spaces on the calendar. In all the history of conventions, probably there never has been such a list of them held anywhere in the same period, with the possible excep tion of the exposition months at San Krancisco. Take a look at the list: The grand chapter of the Blastern Star, June S; the. Travelers' Protective association from June 14 to June 19; the Kiwanis clubs June 1 6 to 19; the state lodge of Masons June 16; then, that never-to-be-forgotten three days of the Shrine. June 22 to June 24; then two days of Rose Festival, beginning June 24. the last day of the Shrine; a week's breathing spell and the brave old Indian war veterans gather the last day of the month, with July 1 entertaining Oregon's venerable pio neers and-the affiliated organizations. Shrine Leada Them All. Of course, the Shrine leads them all pre-eminently in point of num bers, but in any ordinary month any single convention of them all would le notable. The travelers will bring from 4000 to 5000 persons. The Ki wanis will entertain from 2000 to 2500 delegates, not to speak of as many more friends. Who knows how many thousands will pour in for the Rose Festival? Then the hundreds of the veterans and the 2000 or so pioneers and their friends. Parades, bands, fun, auto drives, why, Portland will be a merry, merry host the livelong month. For the crowds from one convention will over lap into those of the next and be in extricably mingled. How 3Iany Can See Hlfchwayf How many thousand of Portland's guests will see the highway is a matter of conjecture. The travelers hope to get all their delegates on the nation's most imposing drive and -so . do the Kiwanis. The Shrine com mittee believes it can take 12,000 a day or say 40,000 in all. The Kiwanis have a great stunt parade, so have the T. P. A. The Shriners have their own evening dress affair, with 70 bands, etc. There is the electric parade, the decorated pa rade of the Rose Festival, the digni fied march of the Masons yes, there will be parades. Avaunt, dull care! Make it vacation month. Let's give everyone a right royal Portland welcome and over the length and breadth of the country will be carried Portland's fame anil Portland's name.

CLEAR WHY NOW TO GIVE NOBLES CHIC E Suggestion on Care of Many Guests Offered. DON'T DELAY HAIRCUTS Barbers Will Be Kept Buy by Visitors Carry Lunches to Help Feed Kest. Shriners! It's No Trouble to Get a Dress Suit. "Dadu" I'llker ew or Second Hand Offered Freely In Portland. HAVE you a little dress suit in your home? If you are an old-time Shriner. of course you have your pet "open-face" all cleaned and pressed ready for the big doings. If you are one of the recent noviti ates, all Portland clotliingdoni has eager hands outstretched ready to outfit you at a price. And if you haven't the price, why, the friendly want ad comes to your assistance. For example: "Fine selection full-dress suits for sale or rent." If you are a new Shriner, you will not yet have reached that rotundity of dimensions that is fatal to 'that dress suit you wore when you were married. Yes, there's hope for you, at bargain prices, too. Just read; "Dress suit, reasonable; too small for owner. Phone Sellwood If you are pompous and. as one W. Shakespeare said, "of fair round belly with good capon lined." why, you may get a note of joy in this one: "New Shriner's dress suit, size 44. Phone Tabor E F G." And perhaps you expect hard wear. If so, try this extra coat ad: "Full-dress suit, 3 coats, size 38, perfect condition, a bargain. Call No. 7 A street. Phone Portland XYZ." If style is your idea in life, you Shriner. why. this little ad may bring comfort to your frame and pocket book: "Gentleman's tuxedo coat and vest, made in New York: also new full dress suit, size 39; both latest style; buy from owner. very reasonable. Phone Main ABC." The friendly little want ad was never so friendly as Just now. It ac commodates itself to every need. Of course, to you whose pocketbook is plethoric, the little comforting want ad will not appeal. Smith or Jones or Brown will be glad to take your measure and deliver you the regula tion "soup and nuts" in full time for the ceremonials and the parade in which you simply must appear - in broad daylight with the insignia ded icated to the darker hours the full dress suit. ASHLAND SHRINE MECCA "HOMKCOM I. G" CEREMON IAL, STAGED BY HILLAH TEMPLE. Gasoline Needed to Provide Beds for Shriners. Woman In Yamhill. Or.. Writes, of Inability o Move . Kurniture to Portland. Suggestions by the score of how Portland may take better care of its i thousands of convention guests, es- pecially the Shriners. pour in daily to convention headquarters. I Here are some of them: Get your hair cut before the con- I vention days. The convention guests will need to monopolize all the bar bers in town. And for the same rea son dig out the old safety razor and learn to use it yourself. Bring your own lunches downtown. The restaurants are going to be crowded. Let the visitors have first chance at getting good meals and they'll feel better and enjoy them selves more. Ose-War Traffic Wanted. Pedestrians, take the right side of the street. One-way traffic will make everything easier and the visitors will soon catch the idea. Have the winter's wood cut and get it into the basement at once. The city can pass an ordinance to make you do it, but how much pleasanter it will be to do it of your own volition, just to spruce up for the visitors. Clean up and paint up all you can. Trim the rose bushes. Mow the lawn and spade ,up the flower beds. Visitors appreciate a fresh, spick and span, spotless town. Portland hardly appreciates the mammoth nature of the Shrine con vention as yet. For example, there will be 7000 uniformed members in parade, not to speak of the three or four times that number in dress suits. There are 190 marching organizations, 70 bands, chanters and patrols in tending to participate. Many Maneota 'Are Comlnc, Elephants, camels and mascots of all size and kind are being brought in the special trains. There will be a regular circus menagerie. Just to bid farewell to Frceland Kendrick 10,000 Shrinera in Newark, N. J., paraded through the streets of that city, coming from, far and near, and they had everything in the line of a menagerie then and that was but a "little" farewell gathering. "Everyone is coming," is the mes sage that now comes to Shrine head quarters and they are coming in everything short of those "hommea 16 chevaux 8" freight wagons. By Pullman, tourist car or day coach they have announced they will come any way to get to Portland. Great Event Proposed. Shrinedom intends to make the Portland convention the greatest ever. Portland must do her part so that the Shriners will feel that way after the convention as well as before. "Write to your Shrine friends there will be plenty: of gasoline," urges W. J. Hofmann. "Paint up, clean up, wash up," says George JU. Baker. "The theaters and down-town business houses are doing this; let the home owner do the same." And from Shrine headquarters. Travelers Protective association of fices, Kiwanis and all the rest comet the' message, "Let's make the Port land welcome the greatest ever." Club Attend in Body, 50 Shriners Coming I'roin Klamath Falls. Portland Trip Planned. ASHLAND, Or., June 5. (Special.) All roads led to this city today, when the "homecoming" ceremonial was staged by Hillah temple of the Mystic Shrine. Hillah temple Shrine clubs attended in a body and participated, more than 60 persons coming from the Klamath Falls organization alone. Hillah temple plans on- going to Portland en masse, according to an outline as presented here today. Many of the Shriners had planned on driv ing by auto to the state's metropolis, but due to the shortage of gasoline they felt it would be better to con serve as much gasoline as possible for the farmer. Deputy potentates for Hillah were appointed as follows: George S. Cal houn of Grants Pass, for Josephine: R. IX Williams of Roscburg, for Douglas; Worth Harvey of Cottage Grove, for Lane, and Jackson F. Kim ball of Klamath Falls, for Klamath and Lake counties, all of whom are planning on making the trip to Portland. TIMBER SALE ANNOUNCED 100,000,000 Feet In Alaska Sold to Firm for Paper Manufacture.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu gene. June 5. (Special.) The staff for the Oregana. the university year -hook, for next year has just been an nounced by the editor, Miss Wanna GIVE 'em the gas! "Wanted To get to the Shrine convention. We need eight gallons of gasoline. Can you help us?"

Or. as follows: "We have a load of beds and other furniture to get to Portland to be used for the benefit of the Shriners.

OFFICIAL FACTS CONCERNING GASOLINE The Following Statements Are Authentic and Tell the True Conditions of the Gasoline Situation The Shortage Is Only Temporary Do Not Be Alarmed There exists in the State of Oregon and on the Pacific Coast a tem porary gasoline shortage. To eliminate this shortage and to supply industrial and agricultural requirements we have been convinced that it will be necessary for motorists throughout the entire Coast to curtail the use of gasoline for pleasure purposes. The percentage of curtailment will have to be more drastic in Oregon because the situation is more acute here than in California or Washington, caused principally by our gravity test law. In order to conserve enough gasoline from Portland's allotment for agricultural requirements and the convention period it will be necessary to curtail for the next two weeks the use of gasoline for pleasure riding 80. Such curtailment will give us almost a normal supply during this period. Following the convention period and through July and August there will continue to be a shortage, but we are assured by the Oil Companies' representatiyes that approximately a 50 of normal supply will be available. There has been a great deal said of late about shortage of motor fuel. A great many people think there is some ulterior motive on the part of the Oil Companies but we are convinced that such is not the case. The report that large quantities of gasoline were being exported has received wide circulation, and it is true that there has been some exportation, which was necessary on account of existing contracts, but for each gallon of gasoline exported from this coast, four gallons have been brought in from the East. At the present time shipments from the East average six gallons for each gallon being exported. Oil Officials assure us that no new export contracts have been accepted for several months, and that none will be accepted. No Occasion for Alarm Shortage Only Temporary We wish to advise the motoring public that there is no occasion for alarm, but to emphasize and to assure them, as the result of the statements made us by the representatives of the Oil Companies, that the shortage is but temporary and that conditions will again be normal at the end of the ten weeks' conservation. We notice the Oil Companies continue to dot the city with service stations. It does not stand to reason that they would make such investments if 'they did not know that the present situation was only temporary. GASOLINE CONSERVATION COMMITTEE Mayor George L.

Visit your dentist more often and you will visit your doctor less frequently. The dentist of today occupies an important position, and upon his skill, knowledge "and integrity depends his value to the community. Science has proven beyond question that bad teeth cause half our bodily ills, and physicians everywhere are working hand in hand with the modern dentist in an effort to educate the public to the necessity of keeping the teeth and mouth in as nearly perfect condition as possible. Infection taken into the blood through the oral cavity, due to pus pockets, decayed teeth and infected roots, causes rheumatism, kidney and stomach troubles, and even more serious troubles have cleared up after extraction or treatment of the infected area. Between the views of the more radical members of both pro fessions who advocate the extraction of every suspected tooth, and the ultra-conservative views of the "stand pat" element, who take the other extreme, the public is left in doubt as to the best course to pursue. A complete examination with frank advice and estimate of work which may be required costs you nothing here. You do wrong to remain in doubt regarding the condition of your mouth and teeth when this service may be had for the asking. OFFICE OPEN EVENINGS For the convenience of people who work all day, this office will remain open every evening (except Sundays) until 8 P. M.

How else could I personally guarantee it for 15 years? Quality dentistry does not always mean extremely high fees. My low fees are within t each of all merely a fair profit on your work.
