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."

REJUVENATED EDNA WALLACE
HOPPER ONLY 48 YEARS OLD
John F. 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.

Edna Wallace Hopper, -who la 48,
but doesn't look it-
viMe and Maibelte G-llimaii. 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.

LOANS TO HUBBY GONE
WIFE SATS SHE MADE AD
VANCES OP $2560. "
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. . .
FIRE LOSS IS $3,000,000
Washington Timber Damage in
1922 Greatest In History.
Forest fires for the last season
have cost the state of Washington
and private timber concerns nearly
13,000,000, according to a report
from the Washington state forester,
issued through the forest service
office of this ' city. This figure
covers, in addition to destruction
of timber, losses to fire patrol as-
soclations, railroads and loggers, and

tained during a single season. The
reijort shows $1,746,167 of timber
destroyed, over $1,000,000 in inci
dental losses and $466,000 in the
fire-fighting expenditure. .
An increase of 10 to 15 per cent -In
fires of incendiary and miscellaneous
origin and fires caused by light
ning was noted, while fires due to
lumbering operations and campers
decreased about 20 per cent.
A report of a similar nature will
