THE SUNDAY OREGQXIAN. PORTLAND, MAY 2U 1922 ALL CITIES FACE TRAFFIC PROBLEMS Survey in East Shows Sema phores Here Out of Date. ARM SYSTEM IS BEST Speediest Kesults Found Obtained Where Officers Dm ploy Their ' Hands and Smiles. BY JAMES D. OLSON , Of Oregonian City Staff. CHICAGO, May 20. (Special.) One-way arteries, overhead sema phores. human semaphores and speedy handling of traffic are the features of modern traffic systems in vogue in the cities of the east. Handling1 of traflift presents the greatest problem that confronts the police bureaus of the various cities. According to the traffic experts in tha east, innovations are almost monthly occurrences and one must In deed b an expert to keep in touch with the changes. Th obsolete semaphore, officially discarded In Portland by edict of the eltr council several times but still . In, use throuph the wish of the Port land traffic department, is seen in but few eastern cities. Few Sen In Washington. True, one does see a few of this typ of signals in Washington, D. C.,' tnd in Philadelphia, but in both of these cities they are simply being sed until they can be replaced by a more modern system. Chicago, despite the fact that its traffio engineers feel that they are vrot up to the latest methods In mov ng tho stream of hundreds of thou sands of automobiles on each street hi tho loop district each day, deserves the credit for moving its traffic more speedily than in any place where the runt volume Is handled, except, per fc&ps, on Fifth avenue In New York. Fifth avenue traffic is moved with es confusion and with best results than In any place In the world, ac-cordlng-to unanimous opinion of traf Ific experts. But the handling of traf fic on this busy artery cannot be used as an example for any city, let alone Portland, except, perhaps, Chicago, where It might well be applied to Michigan avenue. Overhead Signals Vittd. The Fifth avenue traffic is moved J)y overhead signals, a yellowish light indicating clear passage for the Fifth avenue traffic, a red signal halting all traffic and a green signal per mitting the crosstown traffic to pass. While the Overhead signals result tn the easy but slow moving of all Fifth avenue traffic and this traffic is so dense, that some extraordinary method is necessary to properly handle It, it is noticeable that traffic men, unincumbered by traffic sema phores, are on the- ground speeding up th& traffic by using their arms und hands and at the same time giv ing assistance to the pedestrian traf fic that many times seems to become bewildered by the very denseness of traffic on this great artery. Police Use Arms. In Philadelphia, on the great ave nue of that city. Broad street, there are a few of the semaphores that are seen in Portland. But in other parts of the city where traffic is con stant and continuous the police offi cers handling the streams of cars are dependent only upon their arms and without a doubt the traffic . moves much faster than it does on Broad treet. -In Washington a few of the dis credited semaphores are used, but careful survey of the traffic situation in the nation's capital proves that traffic moves much more rapidly when the well-trained traffic officers make of themselves human semaphores. After careful study gf traffic con ditions in the east one comes to the conclusion that radical changes must be made in the Portland traffic situa tion. First, the present semaphores must be discarded, at least so far as general use Is concerned. This will prove more difficult to the officers, it is true, and they will be required to utilize a whistle system, as is used throughout the east as well as in many of the large middle west and western cities. Officers Must Be Trained. Next, the traffic officers of Port Isnd must be trained to move traffic more speedily than is the case at present, and do it with a smile. With all tho traffic that New York has to contend, I failed to' locate one officer who was not .courteous to the foot passengers In their journey across any part of New York In the third place, the human sem aphores should be provided in Port land for the principal street corners. and if this s done the officers should be placed on a fairly high platform and equipped with whistles to be used jn a system which could be explained to the. publl-3. All Should Know Code. Vehloular and pedestrian traffic alike should be conversant with the traffio code and should be trained to llow It. If this is done Portland will gain fame for the handling of its traffic. And as proof that the eastern system Is easy to adopt, one In Portland has to do nothing more than to drop down to Front and Madison streets any night between 5 and 6 o'clock and observe. Officer Tyler, and how this officer, with a smile on his face, moves traffio with phenomenal ra pidity. STATE SUIT THROWN OUT Error in Service of Papers Is Cause for Action. TACOMA, Wash., May 20.

SCHOOL LOSES TO CUPID Miss Antonia Patzelt, Graduate of Monmouth, Weds. , MONMOUTH, Or.. May 20.-l(Spe-elal.) The teaching profession has lost to Cupid again. The school-room arees tt Alias Antonia Patzelt came abruptly to a close this week by her marriage to Frank H. Bartholomew at St. David's Episcopal church in Portland Thursday. Miss Patzelt was a popular member of the December, 1921, graduating class at the normal. A few days ago her friends "smelt a mouse" when telegrams and long-distance calls from The Dalles, where she t was teaching, came for Mr. Wiley, super intendent of schools at The Dalles, who was on his way to Monmouth to select teachers. Mr. Wiley engaged one more teacher than he had planned, and hurried back to forestall any further breaks from the ranks. ;i Mr. and Mrs. Bartholomew left Thursday evening for Kansas City. T DENIAL MADE THAT VICTORY REPUDIATES PRESIDENT Pcnnsylvanian Declares He Ex pects to See Chief Executive Renominated. THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, D. C, May 20. Wide spread publication in the east today of an interview by Gifford Pinchot, denying that his nomination for gov ernor of Pennsylvania was a repudia tion of the Harding administration, came as a distinct setback to Harding critics. Mr. Pinchot expressed the belief that the next republican national convention will give President Hard ing a unanimous renomination ana declared he did not care what the democratic newspapers say. He said: 'During the campaign I repeatedly expressed my belief that no one coma succeed as governor of Pennsylvania under present circumstances by play ing a lone hand. Being the candi date of the republican party, I have already begun to put that belief into nractice. In addition to numerous consultations held before I left Phil adelphia, I have arranged for a num ber of similar conferences, which will take place at Milford. "I do not care what tne democratic newspapers say. Tney are oniy try ing to make trouble. I shall not com ment upon their efforts to breed dis sension in the ranks of the republican party. 'I have said several times since last Tuesday that my victory would mean a solidarity of the party in this state in the fall and should not give tne opposition party any cause for re joicing. I say that again. I have not given a thought yet to the next meet ing of the republican state committee and, of course, I think it is a lime too early for me to be thinking of the state chairman, the national com mittee or the attorney-general. 'Some people are even discussing mv nrobable action as neaa oi ine Pennsylvania delegation to the next national convention, provided I am elected governor. They are linking this gossip with what they have chosen to term my possible presiden tial aspirations. If -I do get to the convention as the head of the Penn sylvania delegation I expect to see just one event the unanimous re nomination of President Harding.'!

SCHMALE BOOK SHOP Phone Main 8137. 290 Morrison St. rars victory WORK OF HIS WIFE State Is Stumped Askinp Women for Votes. OTHER WIVES AWAKENED Males of Statesmen Realize Neces sity of Campaigning or Being Hitched to Lame Ducks. BY CAROLYNANCE. (OopjTis-ht. 1922, by The Oreftonian.) WASHINGTON, D. C May 20. (Special.) Wives of statesmen, both frivolous social butterflies and the timid, shrinking domestic drudges, are warned that unless they get out and actively aid in their husbands' political campaigns they are quite apt to become the wives of lame ducks. Thoy are etlll blinking over the spectacular manner in which Mrs. Gifford- Pinchot helped her husband achieve an astounding triumph over a powerful ring. Only the wife of a politician can truly understand just what it was the Pinchots were up against in Pennsylvania. Mrs. Pin chot stumped the state asking women to make her husband the republican nominee for governor. And what's more, they did. Even the ring poli ticians ' conceded that Pinchot's vic tory was a , "personal triumph" and that he was able to "capitalize the enthusiasm of the newly-enfranchised voters." Women political workers in every state are pointing to the Pin chot victory as an example of what the wife of a politician can accom plish. Example Held Necessary. Yon can't expect women to get out and work for your- husband if you are not willing to work for him your self," is the point that women po litical workers are seeking tactfully to impress upon wives of politicians. Women workers are particularly miffed with the attitude o a wife of a senator who is up for re-election in one of the eastern states. Before her recent marriage the wife was a mem ber of the cave dweller clan, the very conservative,-very exclusive old resi dential eet of the capital made fa mous by Mark Twain. Inherently op posed to participation by women in public life of any form, this senator's wife has consistently refused to have anything to do with her husband's campaign. Senators' Wives Aghaat. On the other hand at the last week ly luncheon of senators' wives in the marble room of the capitol one of them announced that she was going to undertake the "management of her husband's campaign for re-electioik this summer. The other senators' wives were a.ghast at the idea and flutteringly plied her with hows and whys and whats. Up until the pres ent 'time It was thought that the proper way to "make" a husband was to engage in social intrigue, angle about for Invitations that would ad vance one's social position. Now it is realized that social position has pre cious little Influence where politics are concerned. They are all eager to help their husbands but are scared stiff at the prospect of actually par ticipating in the broil of a political campaign. The budding statesman of the fu ture no doubt will seek a wife who has the gift of gab that can be utilized to advantage in a political campaign. Courses in public speak ing will be as necessary as household economics and drawing room man ners in the "finishing" of the future wife of a statesman. At anv rate, women ought to be good at kissing babies. British Women More Active. Since the time of the duchess of Queensbury, who kissed a butcher in the heat of her husband's political campaign, British women have been far more active in campaign work than American women. Lady' Astor during one of her addresses here re lated how she participated in her husband's campaign for a seat in the British house of commons and stumped Plymouth In his behalf. He was defeated but the experience Lady Astor obtained and the impression she made on the voters made it easier for her when she herself became a andldate.- It is not at all unlikely that Mrs1 Gifford Pinchot will achieve a po litical office of her own some day. She Is typically a "woman's woman." Tall, willowy, with Titian hair and Queenly type, she satisfies women's Idea of the esthetic Her ability to dress up to her type is another trait that gives women peculiar satisfac tion. Anyway, she wears colors that are a perfect blend and yet a perfect contrast with her hair. Her gowns are individualistic and striking but they are never freakish. Social Position Unquestioned. Though a woman of wealth and un questioned social position she has been keenly interested for a number of years in the working women and particularly In the national woman's trade union league. She was instru mental In obtaining for them a num ber of laws that benefit women in industry, she is a power in the League of Women Voters, holding the office of financial chairman.' Mrs. Harry New also made a num ber of speeches in behalf of her hus band's candidacy in Indiana before the primaries In which her husband was defeated for renomination. She entered the campaign too late, how ever, to be of much help and only began assisting when it was seen what powerful inroads Beveridge was making in Impressing the women voters.

F URN ITU R,E 148-150 Park Street, Between Alder and Morrison ("the assistant secretary of navy, has had experience in stumping a dis trict in the state of New York when her husband wanted to go to the legislature. The pioneer among wo men electioneers is Mrs. John A. Lo gan, now more than SO years old. General Logan at one time or another was candidate for governor, senator and vice-president. Mrs. Logan did not make speeches but she took her stand in hotel lobbies and other pub lic places, buttonholing the voters. Senator's Wife la Another. Mrs. Medill McCormick, wife of the senator from Illinois, is one who is quite capable of helping her husband in a political campaign. The daugh ter of Mark Hanna, she was brought up in an atmosphere of political strategy. At the present, she has taken upon herself the burden of championing the whole republican congress. She is going about the country making speeches recounting the achievements of the present ses sions. Mrs. McCormick is one of the most active women of the seven who are on the republican national com mittee. Mrs. McCormick has a fam ily, too, a growing family at that She has several daughters, one of whom is around a year old. Senator Robert La Follette of Wis consin has a feminine champion in his daughter, Fola La Follette. She is active in politics in Wisconsin. There are those in Washington who maintain that Mrs. Harding is the best politician in the White House. "They" claim that it was Mrs. Hard ing's idea first of all that Mr. Harding should seek the nomination and it was her courage which kept him in the ight. TRDLL-FISH AGAIN PACKED CAXXERY ON WASHINGTON SIDE REPORTED BUSY. Petitions Circulated at Astoria for Suspension of Enforcement of Oregon Law, ASTORIA. Or., May 20. (Special.) While the canneries on the Washing ton shore of the river quit taking troll-caught fish early this week in accordance with the reported instruc tions received from the fisheries com mission in that state, advices re ce'ved from the north shore today ere that at least one plant was again receiving and packing- the sal mon caught by trollers putside. The reports also said that troll-caught fish were being delivered at another cannery, from where they were being shipped to the fresh markets in Se attle. This condition again placed the packing plants on the Oregon side of the river under the same handicap they were under during the first two weeks of the season. In ah effort to overcome this han dicap, petitions were being circulated today among local general busiiss and fishing circles, asking the Ore gon state fish commission to suspend enforcement of the Oregon anti-troll-ing law until the open trolling season begins on July 1. Those advocating the petition said i that as Washing ton is enforcing no law or regulation forbidding bringing of troll-caught fish into the river, under the fish eries compact act the Oregon law is Invalid and if enforced will be placing a burden on the Oregon packing plants without affording the protec tion to the fish which the instigators of the Oregon act apparently intended. CHURCH BETTING SCORED Wagers on Which Hand Pastor Would L'se for -Snuff Rouses Ire. SYDNEY, N. S. W.,' Australia, April 19. (Correspondence of the Associ ated Press.) Betting in church on which hand the pastor would use to take his snuff recently drew from Rev. Father O'Brien of Wangarratta a pulpit indictment of "present-day evils." Excessive drinking and gam bling have taken a strong grip on the young people of the country,' Father O'Brien charged. tie added that he knew, of one church In which young men laid wagers during the services on whether their pastor, who Was addict ed to taking snuff, would use his right or left hand in conveying the powder to his nostrils. HAMLET ROUTS HOLDUP Youth in Costume Draws Sword . and Robber Flees. TULSAi Okla., May 20. Hamlet, in the person of Oscar Osborne, a high school boy, gave battle to a modern highwayman last night. Garbed in the raiment of the Danish prince, whose character he had portrayed in a school entertain ment, Osborne was going home when set upon by a robber. The youth drew his long sword and attacked the highwayman, who, unaccustomed to facing such strange weapons, turned and ran. He escaped and Os borne rearranged his plumed hat and flowing robes and continued his journey homeward. RATS EAT PALM SEEDS Rodents Menace Chief Industry of ' Lord Howe Island. SYDNEW, N. S. W., Australia, April 19. (Correspondence of the Assoc! ated Press.) Rats are menacing the chief industry of Lord Howe island, palm seed raising, according to ad vices received here.
