THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAV, PORTLAND. NOVEMBER 14, 1920
Announcement by the treasury de
partment Thursday that the United
' States public health t eervlce would
take over the uncompleted Hahne
mann hospital on Kast Second and
JIultnomah. streets assures to Port-
J v mot., rrnvorn m i n t nsn1ta.l

for that class of service In the north
wast and one that will serve the
central and western sections of the
" etate of Oregon and southwest Washing-ton.
The government expects to spend
come $140,000 in completing the
building, according to the announce
ment, and it will then be the most
modern hospital on the Pacific coast.
It will be just about one-third the
capacity of St. Vincent's hospital.
According to tentative plans for
the hospital staff, it will have come
20 nurses, five house physicians, two
Internes .and some 30 other attend
ants. A nearby residence may be
converted into a home for the nurses
and the hospital building proper will
house only the patients and necessary
offices. ;
, Dental Clinic Is Likely.
It will be primarily designed to
care for 100 people though this will
likely be a minimum. The need for
this addition to the equipment of the
government here, can readily be
realized from the fact that last month
the local offices handled 275 new
patients, made 440 examinations, gave
1577 treatments and performed 51
operations.
A dental clinic is regarded as a cer
tainty when the new hospital is
opened, but it is not likely that the
present head offices for the Portland
district will be abandoned. These are
now in the Medical building.
This hospital is to be used for the
care and treatment of side and dis
abled soldiers, sailors and marines of
the late war. For many years the
United States public health service
has been furnishing medical and sur
gical treatment to seaman of the mer
chant marine and to civil employes of
the government in the city of Port
land and in order to do that it has
been necessary to arrange for hos
pital beds in the local hospitals of
Portland.
More Facilities Sonebt.
During the epidemic of influenza
last fall and SDrintr the local hospitals
became so crowded that it was fre
, quently difficult to obtain a sufficient
, number of beds for the h.re of dis
abled soldiers. When the local of
fice of the public health service was
taken over in January by regular of
ficers of the service, they immediately
sought more hospital facilities in the
city for the care of soldiers and ma
rines and at that time made a pro
' posal to the trustees of the Hahne
. mann hospital.
' The proposal, however, was not a
; satisfactory one and after - several
T months '-Surgeon-General Cummings
visited Portland, saw the Hahnemann
i hospital building and investigated
- otner conditions. ie immediately ap
t proved of the Hahnemann hospital
. project and recommended that a con
tract be submitted for consideration
' of the secretary of the treasury. This
' contract was approved Thursday.
The hospital, when It is finished,
'.".will be modern in every respect; will
be divided for the most part into
wards but will ha,ve such private
room facilities as are necessary for
dangerously sick cases and will be
equipped with all of the modern ap
pliances for relieving the eick. It will
have attached to its staff a corps of
specialists in the various branches of
medicine and surgery and will, in all
probability, have established within
the hospital a school which will be
conducted by the federal board
for vocational education for the in
struction of those who are confined
to the hospital for long periods. This
school will be one which will teach
practical subjects and will co-operate
with the management of the med
ical treatment towards the- rehabili
tation of the man who has become
disabled in the service of his country.
All Details Not Vet Known. "
Ir. N. E. Watson, past- assistant
surgeon of the United States public
health service, who is medical of
ficer in charge here, with his associ
ate Dr. Richie L. Waugh. will have
charge of most of the preliminary de
tails. They were notified yester
day that the government had accept
ed the proposition of the Hahnemann
trustees and all the details will likely
be known when Albert B. Wastell,
secretary of the Homeopathic as
sociation, returns from Washington,
where he has been negotiating the
transaction.
Making comparison with other gov
ernment hospitals of the coast, it is
found that the new Portland plant
will be about one half the size of
the Marine hospital in San Francisco
and about the same size as the Port
Townsend hospital. The new local
hospital will be far more modern than
the others and will operate In con
junction with government convales
cent depots, now established.
GLASS PLANT SUGGESTED
Fletcher Linn Says Oregon Has
Plenty of Raw Materials.
"Oregon has the silicate, the soda
ash and other products necessarv to
build a large glass manufacturing
Industry, besides a wealth of other
raw materials which can be used in
making this state an industrial cen
ter," declared Fletcher Linn in an
address on "Some Possible Relations
of the College to Industries." deliv
ered to the students of Keed college
jriaay.
Mr. Linn Is interested In investiga
tions made by college students into
.' the industries and possible industries
In this state. Under his direction
five students from the University of
Oregon several years ago made an
extensive investigation and submitted
reports on the possibility of estab
. lishing a plant manufacturing crude
-. and refined oil from copra. As a
-t result of these reports the Palm-
olive company was established in
- Portland. Other investigations made
.. were into , the milk sugar industry
in Tillamook and the waste wood
products.

PASQUALE AMATO, SIXGER AT HEILIG NOVEMBER 17.
H
OW can a concert singer best
gauge whether he has been
successful or not?" someone
asked Pasquale Aiato, baritone su
preme of the Metropolitan Opera com
pany, in a conversation at Lake Pla
cid, New Tork. where the singer spent
the summer.
"When a concert singer Is compli
mented by his manager after he has
sung," replied Mr. Amato, who will
appear here at the Heilig theater No
vember 17. direction of Steers & Co
man, after a moment's thought, "he
need have no worries about the suc
cess of the concert.
"For example, I would much rather
have received these two letters," he
went on, taking two envelopes from
his pocket, "than all the applause and
favorable press comments in the
world." The letters were from Octa
via Dix Fanning of Euclid Service
bureau in Cleveland and Charles A.
Sink, secretary of the University
school of music In Michigan.
,The paragraph in Mrs. Fanning's
letter, which Mr. AmatO had under
lined, saidi: "Thank you a thousand
times for the joy of Sunday afternoon.
People are still, talking of you. If
you come through Cleveland, let me
know. You must break bread with
your manager, N'est-ce-pas? Signed
(Mrs. M. A.) Octavia Dix Fanning."
The portion of Mr. Sink's letter
which had given Mr. Amato such
pleasure was this: "Our people are all
delighted with what you did and the
concert is now the talk of the town
and of the surrounding towns and
cities."
Mr. Amato will be assisted by Miss
Kitty Beale, soprano of the Metro
politan. Miss Beale left Atlantic
City, where she spent the summer, in
order to .appear with the National
symphony at the Lewisohn stadium In
New Tork. She was accord-ed a tri
umph by the large audience and was
recalled several times, offering as en
cores Arditi's "Parlo" and Charles
Gilbert Spross' "Robin. Robin, Sing
Me a Song." Miss Beale cam only be
described as she is in the New York
American, when they said "Kitty
Beale was delectable."
CURFEW MAY BE CHANGED
COXFEBEXCE PROPOSES LIMIT
OF 0 O'CLOCK. AT XIGHT.
Special Permits Are Declared Joke
and Itigid Enforcement of Law
' Is Suggested by Mayor.
Change of the curfew law from an
S o'clock limit to 9 o'clock and abso
lute enforcement of it after that
hour, was recommended yesterday at
a gathering of representatives of
various child welfare organizations
in the court of domestic relations.
Mayor Baker was present to hear the
views of the delegates and to state
his position in the matter. The vote
virtually followed the line of his
suggestions.
Hereafter, depending, of course.
upon action by the city council, spe
cial permits will not be issued.
"They re a joke," was the almost
unanimous opinion. "Boys and. girls
get them to go to night school , and
then play hooky. That is where e-
linquency begins."
"The 8 o clock law has been a
failure," said Mrs. J. F. Hill- of the
Parent-Teacher council. "Now, if we
make it 9 o'clock how are we to teach
the children to respect this regu
"You've got to get the parents
down to the police station to bring
the boys home," Mayor Baker replied.
And that s what absolute enforce
ment is going to mean."
"Let them explain to the Judge,
supplemented Judge Kanzler. "Bring
the hammer down ana make no ex
ceptions; then you will make an: im
pression.
The chief difficulty is in adjusting
compulsory night school for those
required by state law to attend. This
is for boys and girls between the
ages of 1.6 and IS years old and re
quires attendance from 7:15 to 9:15
o'clock three nights each week. Al
though Mrs. Millie R. Trumbull of the
Child Welfare commission, argued
for lowering the age on the curfew
Law to 16 years, in order to meet
this contingency, the proposition was
voted down.
"Those are reallv the vital nsrns
explained Chief of Police Jenkins',
"and we have more trouble with
grown boys and girls than with
others." He told of putting on 10
plain clothesmen Friday night to
torce curiew.
The meeting was called by Judge
Kanzler and was attended by dele
gates irom tne Boy Scouts, churches,
Y. M.- C. A, : Parent-Teacher council,
Grade Teachers' association, state
board of health. Child Welfare com
mission, police department, school

tions.

BROADWAY AT MORRISON
Malt and hops were in brisk de
mand in Portland yesterday, when
The Oregonian carried the story from
Washington that the prohibition offi
cers contemplate crushing out the
home-brew industry. Anticipating the
worst, the home-brew . brigade
launched a, drive to stock up for a
few more batches before the supply
of "the makina"' is shut off.-.
Johnson S. Smith, federal prohibi
tion- enforcement ' officer for Oregon,
and Director Flanders of the prohi
bition forces said that while they
had not yet received orders to pro-
ceed against the. home-brew, industry,
they expect word from Washington
within a few days. This suspicion on.
their part was based upon certain in
formation which they had already
received, but the nature -. of which
they did not disclose. .. '
Brewing Declared Illegal..
"Brewing beer at home has always
been illegal under the prohibition
act," explained Mr. Smith, "but noth
ing much has been done about it,
that phase of activity having been
rather overlooked. Of course, It ' is
known that a vast number of people
in Portland, as well as everywhere
else throughout the nation, have been
brewing beer at home, and there are
places which have catered especially
to that trade. When a dealer is sell
ing malt, hops, gelatine, yeast, bot
tles, caps and cappers and is even
giving directions how these things
are to be used to make beer it arouses
strong suspicion - that ; the dealer
knows what his wares are being used
for. - -
Sale Is Discouraged.
I have tried to discourage the sale
o these beer-making articles, and
have warned dealers' that the govern
ment would he stepping in on them,
An attempt has also been made to
discourage the making of home brew
Dy citizens.
While no definite orders have been
received at our office, the Indications
are that the government will under
take to stop beer making by shutting
otr tne supply, and this means bv tak
ing action against the dealers in malt
and hops. In a few days I expect an
oraer along this line,
Ingredients' for manufacturing beer
are sold not only by dealers special
izing in this trade but by grocers and
druggists. Apparently before a con
viction can oe ODtained against a
dealer the prohibition officers will
have to prove beyond a reasonable
doubt that when the dealer sold the
ingredients he knew that the malt
and hops were intended to be used
for making beer illegally. The drive
of the prohibition officials will be
against the dealers and not against
the home brewers, at least in the first
stage of the campaign to eliminate
the manufacture of beer.
Home-Ilrrw Industry Lapna,
There is an impression among offi
clals that the home-brew industry
is not as extensive now as it was
a year ago. They say that many
or tne amateur brewers, after mak
mg a rew failures, become disgusted
with experimenting and no longer
invested in malt and hops. The ac
tive demand for malt and hops yes
terday, however, did not indicate that
there was a growing shortage of ex
perimenters.
It- cannot be said that the threat
of - killing off ' the home brew met
with popular approval, judging from
expressions around town. It was
considered the most, drastic step thus
rar contemplated Dy the prohibition
forces.
Heretofore the' home brewers have
not been molested,' save in instances
where the officers had reason to be
lieve that the brewer was selling his
product. " If the order is issued at
Washington, .there is a prospect of
a very thirsty cummer in 1921.

THE above parallel display is an exadt
reprodudHon of our interesting show
windows this week.
The two beautiful rooms shown above are
praftically alike, except that:
One contains the right piano for its set
s ting. The other contains the WRONG piano.
One instrument glorifies its setting.
The other instrument utterly mars it.
Is the most important room in your home
similarly handicapped by its piano?
: This is not in disparagement of the upright
piano as such. But let us never forget that
a grand piano is the piano supreme. It gives
"tone" even while standing in meditative
silence. It breathes of quality, dignity, dis
tinction. .
A room whose charm and beauty are based
upon simplicity deserves a grand piano no
less than a room of magnificence.
A room of true charm and refinement is com

Remember, there are grand pianos in all sizes
and many prices, from compact, dainty
