"PACIFICER" DECLARED TO BE MENACE FOR BABIES Serious Mouth and Throat Troubles Said to HaveBeen Caused by Giving Rubber Device to Infants. MUSIC-COMEDY PRINCIPAL OBTAINS JOB ACCIDENTALLY Marjorie Sweet Hired From Movies After Manager Hears Singing Coming From Dressing Room. , . .-, f ' f V ....4 .; THERE are some inventions that seem made in heaven, so benefi cent are tDey to mankind in general, and others seem to have been conceived In the opposite re gion, so full are they of inherent evil. Of this latter kind is the bo called "pacifier," much in vogue by mothers who do not understand its harmful qualities and which is de cidedly frowned . upon by dentists, child specialists and the medical fraternity generally. It was probably designed as the quite scientific successor of the old fashioned comforter, consisting of a raisin sprinkled with sugar and tied in a clean bit of linen, the con traption being dipped in milk and given to a fretful bby to such until the proper time arrived for legiti mate feeding. But science has gone quite a long way since those days and the little rubber article through which the baby - sucks only air is said to be provocative of . serious mouth and throat troubles, colic, to epoil the shape of the sensitive arch, deform the lips and make the teeth come in crooked and misshapen. This is the testimony of the finest of the medical fraternity and is truly an array of horrors designed to , make even a careless mother think twice before allowing the child to use one even a single time. '. In a survey recently made by the National Child Welfare society at Washington, D. C, over the entire United States Oregon has the su preme honor of having the smallest child mortality of the entire country. To this gratifying result the Pa rents' Educational bureau has con tributed in no small degree, not only by the weekly clinics, open to all children between 6 months and 6 years, in which have been tested children from every section of the state, as- well as from other locali ties, but by the large amount of in- , formation given, both verbally and by correspondence, by the executive eecretary, Mrs. Anne H. Bayly, and by much informative literature sent out by the bureau, on request of young mothers. In the nine years i that the bureau has existed 17,110 children have been registered for testing and that the methods used are satisfactory is shown by the return of many parents at regular intervals to take advantage of the practical advice and high-class skill of the scientists in attendance. The list of embryo beaux and belles this week is led off by a most attractive brother and sister, Ford, aged Hi years, and Barbara Jean, 1 year, both scoring 100 per cent. These are the children of Mr. and Mrs. William Matthiesen, 69 Eigh teenth street North. Richard Franklin, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Cooper, 1196 Detroit street, scored984 per cent at 11 months. Richard has a pensive air, as though he may be possibly rumi nating on affairs of state. The picture man is evidently showing something entrancing to Miss Vivian and Master Robert Perl man, children of Mr. and Mrs. H. Perlman, 487 East Eighteenth street. The little miss scored 99 at 27 months and the boy 98 at 14 months. A right jolly little elf is Erwin Walker, son -of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Miles, who made the fine score of 99 per cent at 23 months. This young man lives at 235' East Sixth street. A pair of fat, bare feet and dim pled hands to match are attractive attributes of Lucille Joy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. McKee, 1205 Boise street, who made 99 per cent at 6 months. ... - ' A right sedate and dignified little lassie is Doris, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sargent Gething, 1070 Minne sota avenue, who attained 99 per cent at 12 months. Raymond William, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Bartlett, 235 East Sixth street, scored 99 at .23 months. Like Alice in Wonderland, he seems to be thinking things are "curiousex and curiouser." Miss -Ida Ruth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Lischinsky, 463 Sixth street, scored 99 per cent at 6 months. Miss Ida is evidently not anticipating a. speedy trip to either Siberia or the" Arctic regions. (Continued From Tage 5.) a number of selections and leading singers from Portland will render patriotic and classical songs. -Dinner will be served on the grounds and special arrangements haye been made for automob'le parking. v-- Arrangements are being made by the Knights of Columbus of Port land for another minstrel to be held the latter part of October," the exact date to be announced later.

The Knights of Columbus are ar ranging for a minstrel show and have appointed a committee com posed of A. B. Cain, chairman; D. J. Coman, J. P. Byrne, J. J. Kenny and E. J. Dixon to handle it. J. R. Dixon, who directed last year's suc cessful production . for the local council of the knights, has been en gaged to direct the performance and promises to surpass any of his previous minstrels.

Gaites' musical comedy success, which comes to 'the Heilig theater for three' days, commencing Thursday, October 5, is the latest find from the moving picture world, and nas discovered by Mr. Gaites while paying a visit to the Famous Players' studio at Hollywood, Cal. Miss Sweet had just -completed an interior scene in a big feature pro duction and had retired to her dressing-room to enjoy a light luncheon whicn was to have consisted of French pastry and a bottle of milk, but upon entering. her dressing room she discovered that some culprit had made away with some of the pastry and ,the bottle of milk. In relating this : incident, Miss Sweet ' says: "I called Bobby at the top of my voice several times, but received ntf reply. I mus;.have forgotten all about my lunch, and unconscious of what I was doing, commenced to sing of course, for my own amusement. Singing Is Overheard. "Suddenly I heard voices from without, and I recognized one as Bobby's. I afterwards learned that Mr. Gaites had heard me Singing and was . inquiring of Bobby who I was and how he could reach me, as he was desirous of an interview for bus'ness reasons. "I was correct in my-suspicions. Bobby was the culprit who had eaten the French pastry and taken the bottle of milk just for the boy prank of it and he held out for a dollar bribe for the bottle of milk, which Mr. Gaites smilingly paid. That bottle of milk was a ticket of admission, or, in other words, a let ter of introduction. "Bobby informed. Mr. Gaites that he would not dare approach my dressing room after having taken the milk, as I was hungry and cross as a bear. However, he assured Mr. Gaites that any man be he red. white 'or green -with a bottle of milk would be welcome by me. Milk Is Delivered. Mr. Gaites good-naturedly grasped Bobby's idea of the joke and used the bottle .of milk as the medium of an introduction. Through his friend, ship with the officials of the Fam ous Players corporation, Mr. Gaites arranged my release from that com pany and here I am in musical comedy. - "There are many odd ways for a girl to step into musical comedy," said Miss Sweet, "but I hardly think any other girl can boast of accom plishing the feat by means of a mov ing picture call and a bottle ' of milk."

I B JAMES J: MONTAGUE. T WAS not without aualms that we built the house in a new part of town, where there were no pavements and the telephone wires had to be strung along, poles at our expense to reach the place. Our friends all told us that we might as well go 50 miles away, where we could be in the real coun try. They said it wasn't half so bad to have your car mired down on a country road, where the birds were singing near by and the flowers' blooming along the wayside, as on what purported to be a city street. But it was summer time when the house was ready, and there was lit tle trouble in getting the car into the yard, where it temporarily occu pied a tent until such time as We could save enough money to buy one of those tin garages. And very soon after we were es tablished we were able to jeer back at the friends who jeered at us, for men and teams came along and be gan to build a brand new, beautiful pavement right on our street. Of course we couldn't get the car out while they were putting down the pavement, but we were sure that would be only a matter of a weelc or two and then how won derful it would be to bowl out on a smooth road and coast down the hill till we came to the main thor oughfare, i , The pavement required a little more time in the making than we expected 10 weeks in point of fact. It was two miles to the village, but in pleasant weather the walk wasn't bad. We. told each other that our very richest and most in fluential citizens thought nothing of walking five or six miles over a golf course every day, so why should we mind a trifling walk of two miles? One could always wear rub bers when it was muddy. It was a great day for us when the pavement was done. We started the car and drove 50 miles out in the country to celebrate. Life from now forth seemed a lovely dream, with the town within 10 minutes instead ,of three-quarters of an hour and that smooth, broad stretch of asphalt right in front of us! . Trenches Next Trial. , There were a couple of men with some kind of surveying instruments on the street when we got back that afternoon, making everything right, as we supposed. The next morning, intending to go down to the town and sneer at the friends who had formerly sneered at us, we joyfully started the car, headed for the street. But we didn't get out. Men with picks had dug a trench directly in front of the drive, and if we had gone any further our car would have remained where it dropped till somebody got it out with a derrick. We supposed there must be some mistake, but there wasn't. They were tearing up the street to put a sewer down. Well, sewers are necessities, of course, and we were assured that the obstruction would only remain for three or four days. It remained for three or four weeks, however, and when the ditch was dug and filled the street didn't look the same. - It kept sagging . over the place where the sewef pipe was laid, and it was three more weeks before they had it ail tamped down so they could repave it. Again we happily sailed forth for another ride, Lut the next morning the street was torn up again. This time they were putting down a telephone conduit. We asked the man in chaTge qf this job why they hadn't laid all these conduits and pipes and things before the street was paved. He said he didn't know. The telephone job needed three weeks more of doing, and we sup posed that, was to be all,, but it wasn't. We crossed the rugged ridge left by filling in the new ditch one morning, only to return that after noon to discover that we couldn't get the car Into the garage. Men were digging another ditch, parallel with the other two. This one was for a gas pipe. They very kindly laid planks down for us to cross it, so we got the car in, and kept it there for a month longer. Street fiet Billowy. Then we ' prepared for a grand celebration. The street wasn't what it was when it was first paved. It was billowy and rough, and there were places in the ditches where you bogged down and stayed till dry weather if you were careless enough to get into them, as you often were after dark. But. anyway, we could come and ro. which was something. That night we repitched the tent, put our car into it and invited friend who had a big fine one out for the week-end. The new tin garage had just arrived, and his car was to occupy it for the night. The friend was a late sleeper, as became the owner of so grand a car. He got up at 10 the next morning, took a leisurely breakfast, and after thanking us profusely for our hospitality announced that he had an important business engage ment in another town that noon and that he would have to hurry. We went outside to see him off. The first thing that met our eyes was a ragged chasm in the street, which made it impossible to get any kind of a car out. The water people had discovered that their main, which was put down when the street was a country rt)ad, was inadequate, and they were digging it up to put in a new and bigger one. We had done the best we could to entertain our friend, and it seemed to us that he was unneces sarily disagreeable about having his car marooned for the eight weeks that it would take to get the new water main land. He said he would never have come If he thought we lived where peo ple came along without warning and shut you up like rats in a trap in your home. We tried to appeal to the authori ties, but it was useless. They had given the water company the right to make the Improvement, and we. as citizens, ought to be glad that the company was public-spirited enough to make them. That was seven weeks ago. Our friend comes out now and then to Bee if his car Is all right, and he always measures the gas. which seems to us, somehow or other, to reflect on our honesty. Some day we may learn why they lay pavements only to dig them up again, but judging from the results of our quests for this knowledge hitherto we shall be very old before we 4flnd out.
