i After an absenre from Portland or
one month ana zt minuies oy acium
computation. C. K. WriRht. vice pres
ident of ljallou & Wright, has re
turned home brinRinfir information
that biiHineHB conditions in the east
at Improving and that manufacturers
of ' automobile suppUes and - motor
cycles are optimistic concerning tiio
future. -
Mr. Wrlffht visltwl the manufactur
ing centrrH of Npw England, stopped
Off In Npw York City. Cleveland, Chi
cago and neveral other places. Kis
trip an a Hfrlrtly business affair and
Ida broad smile indicate that U was
ImmeiiKely satisfactory for the firm
and will rrsult in the delivery soon
of somh nrw lines for l'ortland au
tolttta and motorcycle enthusiasts.
Taboo on War Talk.
Quite incidentally his Journey will
result in the entabliRhment of a big
taboo on war talk at Ual'ou &
Wright's. .
"About the flrpt thing I saw when
I eol -at." lit' s.-ild. '"was a multitude
of printed signs with tlii bit of ad
vice:
" Talk Business Don't Talk War."
"I got to pondering over it and de
cided that it wan about the wisest
thing I had nrn or heard of for some
time. It's a good thing for us to cut
out this talk of war in Europe.
"V man comes into the office to talk
buxiness. He prefaces It with about
half an hour's dleicusnlon of the conti
nental struggle.. And there is half an
hour wasted, because we have not
learned anything of benefit to our
selves. Time Is money. Besides, we
have troubles of our own and talk
about that bloody strife makes for
pessimism. I'm going to have some
Of those signs for the store.
"Among the mHniifacturers I found
a general feeling that the war will ul
timately provr of lncfit to them.
Prosperity la Scented.
"While our manufacturers are not
overburdened with work at the pres
ent time, they are looking for a return
Of prosperity and are preparing for it.
"Many are taking advantage of the
temporary and now fast pausing- lull
to install new machinery and enlarge?
their plants for larger operations in
the near future.
"And don't forget this," he conclud
ed. "that- the New York restaurants
are artists at the holdup game."

Mrs. Wright as far east as Montana,
where she waji the guest of her sister.

Steam schooner Rochelle, which was wrecked at the mouth of Columbia river.
University of Oregon, Eugene, Or.,
Oct. 23. Within a short time a collec
tion of 100 specimens of Oregon birds
and mammals will be ready for ship
ment to the Portland public schools to
bo used In lectures by the teachers In
the grades In connection with nature
study. A. C. Shelton, field man of the
soologlcal department of the univer
sity, will go to l'ortland with the col
lection and give a lecture to the teach
rs of the grades on how to present
them to their classes.
"A rose bush for every high school;
'In the state," is the slogan of the exten
alon department of the university. Karl
Kllpatrlck, secretary of the extension
ervlce, says that out of 131 invita
tions sent a few days ngo to the high
schools over half have already been
answered, asking for the rooted plant
that . Is being sent free, expressage
!. f rw. "Due to' a faulty mailing list,"
. said Mr. Kllpatrlck today, "we missed
several high schools and they have
, heard and have written to us about the
' reise bushes. We are supplying all of
these."
Four men, pals for years, stuck in
he fir engine rooms of the steamer
Rochelle until Captain Klldahl ordered
hem out and Into the lifeboat which
had come alongside. Before leaving,
the fires were extinguished, the vents
opened and everything possible done
to ease the steamer from the strains
to which she would be subjected.
Second Engineer George Slncer and
Fireman Barney Hayward, Jack
Phillips and Joe Kellar have been
friends for years. When the steamer
struck Sincer and Kellar were on dutv
at their posts. Hayward and Phllltpa
hurried to the engine room with the
Intelligence that the steamer was
aground.
Well, boys, we've palled together.
for years," said Kellar. "Do we stick
together here?"
'We're with you, Joe," came the re
sponse from Sincer, and with a hearty
hand clasp all around, the four scur
rled to their posts.
Not until the entire deck crew had
been safely Rinded In the boats did the
four leave the steamer. When Cap
tain . Klldahl called them away from
their posts the waves were breaking
over the steamer, and it was plain
there was no- more good to be gained in
staying with her.
The Rochelle lay on her starboard
side on the sands, the heavy swells
pounding her unmercifully. The fire
which broke out is believed to have
been caused by the coals from the gal
ley "stove.-on which Cook H. S. Uberne
was preparing' coffee for the watch.
According to Captain Klldahl the Ro
chelle started Into the river at about
8:30. It was low tide then but no
doubt existed either in his mind or
that of Pilot H. A. Mathews that they
could take the steamer safely inside.
They struck about 9:30. The moon wag
shining brightly.
Beacon No. 12 and Mathews had only '
the moment before remarked on not
being able to se the beacon," said
Captain Kildahl th-.s morning. "We
were both of us looking for the light
when .she ground into the sand. Dis
tress signals were sent out at soon
as we found we could not pull her off
and the crews of the lifeboats came
at once and took us from the steamer."
With Captain C. A. Puariea of the
Columbia Contract company Captain
Kildahl made a trip to the Rochelle in
a launch yesterday.
"She Is lying on her starboard side
in an easy position," said Captain
Puariea this morning. "I believe we
will be able to save her hull. It Is
built of white oak, with oak ribs and
stanchions of heavy timbers, which
will support her quite a bit. I dont'
believe the coal in her will break her
up before we can get at her, and we
will commence at once to attempt to
float her.
"We carried no Insurance on her,
for, on account of the trade In which
she was engaged, the rate would have
been exceptionally high, and we did
not consider the risk worth It. She
was valued at $65,000."
An investigation Into the causes
leading to the grounding of the
steamer will be held at once by United
States Steamboat Inspectors Edwards
and Fuller. The members of the crew
came to Portland yesterday on the
steamer Georgiana and were met at
the dock by Daniel Kern, one of the
stockholders In the Columbia Steam
ship company, who provided the men
with' money for board and lodging.
They will be held together till after
the Investigation.
At the office of United Spates Light
house Inspector Henry iL. Beck, a re
port of the beacon light No. 12 being
out was received yesterday and a
launch was dispatched at once to light
it. No. 12 Is a gas can buoy, and Is
subject to being extinguished at times,
as are all gas light buoys.

Chateau Thierry. France, Oct. 1.
(By mail to New York.) Two mouths
ago the country eastward from Paris
to the frontier and northward to the
Holland meadows was a land of
plenty, another garden of Eden, smil
ing in the sun. Today it is a waste.
In the hotel where I write there is
no gas and no electricity. I am
writing bv a candle, one lone candle,
for even candles are scarce.
When I left Paris an attache of
the American embassy said to me:
"Take plenty of food with you. You
probably won't be able to buy any
where you are going. And take as
much water as you need or you'll
come back with enough typhoid germs
to fill a dozen hospitals."
He didn't exaggerate.
When my food ran short I was
forced to travel 35 miles southward,
nearer the edge of the world's biggest
battlefield, to get more. That's why
I am here.
Strangers Not Welcomed.
On the tottering wails of Soissons
were such notices as this:
'Food Is lacking in SolssOns.
Strangers and all persons not inhabi
tants of the city are ordered to leave
by noon today."
I had lunch In Soissons In what
would have been In peace times a
cozy little hotel. Now it was almost
In ruins. I turned the tap in the
washroom but no water came. I went
into the vard and tried thn fnncet.
J Still no water.
"There is no water in Soissons'
said the hotel keeper's -wife. ' "The
bridge is blown up and. the water
pipes crossed it."
"Where do you get water T' I asked.
"From the Alsne?"
"For washing purposes, yes," she
said, "but the water we drinfc we
bring from a spring a mile away. We
dare not drink the Alsne water. There
are too many dead men and horses
about."
Champagne Xa Scarce.
Between Soissons and Chateau Thier
ry 1 tried to get something more to
eat. There was none to spare. What
food there was, was reserved for the
inhabitants.
If the stories I heard in the neigh
bohood of Rheims, Epemay and else
where are half true, Americans are
going to find champagne hard to get
soon. They say the Germans took a
special liking to It. Certainly I saw
empty green bottles everywhere. I
saw them In the ditches. In the fields,
in the roads, floatingi,n the Marne, thu
Grand Morin and the Alsne.
People living in this shattered fairy
land are having a hard time. They are
reduced to primitive modes of living.
What food they have Is of the simplest.
Oil and often candles are lacking.
There Is no milk for the children. It
seems impossible that all over north
ern France where It was so pretty and
fertile and green, children go hungry
and die because men choose to. fight
and kill on another. And yet It is
true.

Max G. Cohen, former Portland at

court, la on his way to Portland from
New .York, with the intention. It Is
believed, of surrendering to the gov
ernment and beginning his sentence of
two years at the McNeil Island peni

here today by friends.
; Cohen was convicted in the federal
court here in June of 1913 of having
caused a woman witness In a white
slavery case to commit perjury in k
hearing before the JJnited States com
missioner. The case finally went to
the supreme court, where, last week,
the motion for a rehearing was de

Central Labor Council
Endorses
Dentistry
Bill
WKONQ SYSTEM
A measure abolishing the State
Dental Board and prescribing new rules
regulating the practice of dentistry in
this state Is to be voted upon at the
November election.
The bill lowers the educational
standard of the dental profession be
low that of any other profession and
below any trade in labor unions. While
organized labor requires of its work
ers the maximum of efficiency and
preparation, the Dentistry Bill puts
the standard for the. denial profession
below that of any other state in the
Union.
The passage of the measure threat
ens the educational and moral stand
ard, not only of the dental profession,
but of law, of medicine, optometry and
other professions and trades that have
to do with public and private health.
The lowering of the standard of one
means' an ultimate effort to lower the
standard of all.
The Dentistry Bill requires a dentist
to-have a diploma from a college hav
ing a course of two years of only six
months each.
A veterinary surgeon In Oregon must
be a graduate from a recognized veter
inary college that has a course of at
least three years of nine months each.
A barber in Oregon must have a
special preparation of three years of
nine months each.
Labor unions require a printer to
serve an apprenticeship of four years;
crapenters, three years; .machinists,
four years; plumbers, four years.
. Is your mouth aa important as the
sewerage of your house? Do your
teeth need a master workman?
Should a dentist be a skilled work
man or a tooth tinker?
