TITE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, - XOTEmSER 19, 1922 ' 17 GARBAGE SYSTEM CITY LUB TARGET Municipal Collection Urged by Committee. METHOD IN USE SCORED Present Incinerator Declared to ' Be Inadequate for Dls-, . posal of Waste. As a result ot the Insufficiency of tha present Incineration unit, the city is disposing of a large amount of garbage in a manner so unsightly and unsanitary that any private con cern doing the same thing would he liable to prosecution for maintain ing a nuisance, according to a re port made to the City club last Fri day by the committee on municipal wastes. The Investigation made by the City club is part of a study city officials believe should be made be fore use is made- of a $200,000 bond issue passed in 1913, which is suf ficient to finance construction of a new incineratoo of sufficient capac ity to care for the present needs of the city and to allow for the normal increase . of the next few years. Members of the ?ity club committee are Arthur Underhill, chairman; A. A. Knowlton, L. A. Liljequist, O. L. Le Fever and W. G. Purcell. Present Methods Described.' The report deals with present methods ' of garbage collection and disposal in Portland. In summar izing the results of the investiga tion the committee recommends municipal collection as more effi cient than collection by licensed scavengers or by contract. "Greater incinerator capacity must be provided before the summer of 1923," the report stated. "The pres ent incinerator is of an early type, but is thoroughly sanitary and rea sonably economical in operation. It is, however, possible that the most economical procedure would be to replace the present furnaces with those of a more recent type, which would produce steam . as a by product. Dunipx Are I'lmatisfactory. "The conditions at the garbage dumps in the city are far from sat isfactory. Both at the incinerator dump and the Marquam-gulch dump the committee found unsanitary and otherwise objectionable conditions which should be remedied. Vigorous steps should be taken to combat in sect pests at all dumps. "The whole problem as to tech nical details of collection should be given careful attention at the earli est possible date. For this study the city should employ a competent san itary engineer, since the work to be done is of a highly-specialized nature." City officials were not blamed for the unsatisfactory conditions. . "Al though the committee finds much to criticise in present conditions," the j report said"these criticisms do not j reflect upon the city authorities. The undesirable conditions. noted are the result of rapid increase in the amount of refuse to be handled, to gether with the continuance of an outgrown method of collection."

Logan, Prominent Attorney of Portland, Produces Proof That Wrinkleless Actress Is Spoofing About. Being 62. BY LEONE CASS BAER. WHENEVER one of us girls sets her age back a few years It is only the law of retribu tion working out when Uncle Wil bur gets garrulous and tella out exact age to a day, or grandma trots out the family Bible and reveals the damning truth, dates and details on the flyleaf. There Is always some kindly man cousin in every girl's life who figures her age out for her by "digging out autograph albums or old school books with "To Addle, on her tenth birthday." All we 'have to do then Is count back the inter vening years. , The old Joke still holds good that men take a day off on their birth day but that women take off sev eral years. Actresses as a class go steadily , backward with each year until we look for some of them to be announcing their own birth or see them with teething rings and I rattles. I Curiously enough Sarah Bernhardt! never has lied about her age and boasts of her 70-some years of work and happiness. David Warfield tells his age; so does Mrs. Fiske; so does William; H. Crane and Blanche Bates and a dozen others whose lives record success and happiness. Why? Be cause their ages are matters of pub lic record and he who runs may read them. r m ' Now, then, having established and admitted that all women lie about their ages if they think they can get away with it until some 20-years-ago-today paragraph rises up to smite them, we witness the even more curious fact of a woman who says she is 15 years older than her actual and recorded 48 years. Edna Wallace Hopper, -who claims to be 62 years old and astonishes &1 the grandmas and elderly spinsters with her kittenish moods and baby skin, is only 48, and that is compara tively youthful nowadays. There's many a matron of 50 in Portland whose skin is younger than Miss Hopper's and whose eyes are as sparkling and whose figures are as alert and girlish as that of the petite Edna. When Edna Wallace Hopper came to see us with her story of plastic surgery that had rejuvenated a face that had done service for 62 years, naturally we were all impressed, for 62 years would make wear and tear on the face of any of us. Edna was admittedly a fla.pper for 62. So we discussed and opined and remarked on plastic surgery and a few nice old grandmas were seriously con sidering mortgaging the car and running down to Los Angeles or to New York to be de-wrinkled and re juvenated. Then along comes the inevitable Uncle Wilbur with a mania for sta t'stics, the original laddie-buck with the autograph album full of dates and ice water. In this Instance Uneie Wilbur, the memory-hound, is John F. Logan, attorney, whose hobby is theatricals. - "Edna Wallace Hopper is not 62 years old," said Mr. Logan when the flapper actreas was here at a local motion-picture theater. "Somewhere I've got a book that tells her exact age and history. If I can find it I'll tell you." T'other day Mr. Logan found the book. It is a part of his library one of a dozen volumes by Lewis C. Strang devoted to people of the heater and the musical world. This particular volume is called "Prima Donnas and Soubrettes" and devotes a chapter each to some 20 or more stars of earlier days, among them Lillian Russell, Alice Nlelson, Fay Templeton, Edna May, Jessie Bart lett Davis, Delia Fox. Camille D'Ar- Vachel Lindsay, Poet, Is Modern Troubadour. Fame Is Won by Exchanging; Verse for Hospitality. VACHEL LINDSAY, the American poet, who will open the series of literary programmes to be of fered this season by the Portland Library association with his lecture at the Labor temple auditorium Fri day night, is declared to be the modern representative of the trou badour and minnesinger. His -first vagabond journey started at the suggestion of a friend, who told him he would have to do some thing out of the ordinary if he were ever to claim- recognition from the editors who were breaking his heart with refusals while he stayed in New York and offered conventional verse of the kind which established writers furnished. So he set out in yellow corduroy trousers, sombrero and flaming tie, and offered to ex change a verse or a song for hos pitality. Everywhere he studied human motives and elemental pas sions, and added to his store of facts illustrating principles of conduct which he might weave into his verses. His verbal rendering ,of his writings led him to an appre ciation of rhythm which few poets have gained since the days of the minnesingers. Indeed, he is the modern troubadour. A visit to London at the close of the world war brought an appre ciative comment which aroused American critics to the fact that Mr. Lindsay most truly expresses Amer ican life -and in the most perfect craftsmanship of all living writers. Mr. Lindsay will read and chant his poems and hypnotize his audi ence into chanting the refrain with him. Magna Charta Copies Donated. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Sa lem, Or., Nov. 18. (Special.)

Dates, names, facts and fascinating details are given about each one. The au thor -says, in thla connection: "As for the biographical data In this book, they are as complete and as accurate as diligence and care can make them. The woman in music is conscientiously reticent regarding the details of her early struggles for position and reputation. Nothing would seem to be so satisfactory to her as a past dim and mystifying, a present of brilliancy unrivaled and a future of rich and unshadowed promise."- Of Edna Wallace Hopper, sou brette, Mr. Strang writes: "Edna Wallace was born In San Francisco and was educated at the Van Ness seminary there. It was due entirely to Roland Reed, the light comedian, that the idea of going on the stage ever entered her head. Mr. Reed . met Miss Wallace at .a reception while he was play ing in San Francisco in 1891. She was then not far from 17 years old. Impressed with her vivacity, he laiughingly offered her a position in his company and, behold! the mischief was done. She accepted quickly; and although her parents did not approve of the plan in the least she journeyed east during the summer and In August made her ap pearance at the Boston museum with Mr. Reed as Mable Douglass in "The Club Friend." This was produced in 1891-92. "Two weeks later she acted in the same play at the Star theater in New York, where six weeks later she was given the leading ingenue role in "Lend Me Your Wife." She attracted the attention of Charles Frohman and was engaged by him, appearing successively as Lucy Mor ton in 'Jane,' Mrs. Patterby in 'Chums.' Margery in 'Men and Women' and as Wilbur's Ann, the boisterous frontier maiden in 'The Girl I Left Behind Me.! "It was while she was acting In this play in Junel893. that she was married to De Wolf Hopper." Much more Strang tells about the little soubrette, dwelling on her petite prettiness and her vivacious ness, -her dimples and her sponta neous expression of natural bllthe someness. "Ton can figure it out for your self," said Mr. Logan. "She was 17 years old in 1891. Subtract 1891 from 1922 and you'll have 31. Add 17 to 31 and you have 48, and that is Miss Hopper's age. "And 48 years," added Mr. Logan emphatically, "is young, I'm telling you." i So that's that. valuable copies of the Magna Carta have been presented to the univer sity library by A. E. Lockeridge. retired Baptist missionary to India. One is a photographic reproduction of the Latin script original as it is preserved in the British museum; another is a Latin print; while the third is an English translation. Mr. Lockeridge came into possession of these historical documents through friends connected with the British museum. Y. W. C. A. TO ENTERTAIN Open House Every Sunday at St. Johns Branch Announced.

" Woman Married In Reno Says Mate Continually Asked for Money to Drill Oil Wells. "Married in Reno and divorced in Portland" that is the way the story will read if some judge- of the circuit court grants the decree sought by Josle it. from CharleB E. Overton. : If Mrs. Overton's version ot her husband's actions and pretentions tally with the facts, Charlie treated her shamefully. By way of Illus tration, she says lfe made away with $2500. lent-to him during the brief period of their married life. Their marriage was solemnized In Reno, Nev., on January 25. They came to Portland and on February 20 Char lie left for California. She says she has never seen him nor any of the various sums of money she lent him since that time. Emphasizing the disappointment Mrs. Overton must feel is the fact that during the courtship Overton represented himself as a man of wealth, with large interests in Cali fornia oil fields. His oil income amounted to just $2800 a month, he told her. No sooner were they married than the husband needed money for the drilling of more oil wells. She gave it. to him. Then when he left her In Portland and went to California cities he constantly found need for more money. All his letters called for further advances, Mrs. Overton states. Subsequently he started for Chicago and the last letters received from him, written en route, asked for further "loans." Interspersed with the letters had been telegrams, always asking for money and gen erally suggesting that it be tele graphed in care of the telegraph company's office. He never gave any addresses, she says. As one bit of shameful treatment, the complaint states, Charlie stopped at California hotels where she was known and had many of his hotel bills charged to her.' As the crown ing climax of his meanness It is al leged that Overton told mutual friends that the plaintiff had him under the influence of liquor when he married her. . .
