Says of Z.ong Afo, Crown Tvnlng't Daliglit. Breaths of the mystic Isles of Ha waii, neeiited with pineapple, glimpses through the seven veils of mystery that enshrouded the lovely daughter of Herotiias, melodies from far lands mado misty and dear by the mastc touch of fellowship, made the smoker tendered by the Portland ChamDer of Commerce last night one of the hap piest gatherings that ever assembled under the roof of the Oregon building. The cvput was the first formal "Blunt" of Buyers' Week, and tho Euests thronrred the main dining room aa it never had been thronged before. There were inon with hoary hair, and men with no hair at all. There were men whose eyes still gleamed bright with the fire of youth, and men with dull-care-st rained eyes that grew light and sparkling again under the spell of tMe entertainment. Joy-Maker follows Joy-Maker. A. O. Hlak was master of cere monies, introducing one Joy-muker after another. U appeared that the actual Joy grew more insidious and more intense as the evening wore on and the gut-sts from the smaller towns and cities far and near caught the festive spirit. The women guests of the Buyers' Week celebration had been escorted to the theatre under the chaperonage of Mrs. O. C. Chapman and her slster commtttoemen. With their welfare adequately taken care of, the men de voted thr'ir time to the main events before them. Mlas Ethel Bradley gave a delight ful song-talk and Tom Connor, a tilclght or hand demonstration. Miss Blanche Biuret t sang some pleasant ditties and Billie Kent told stories. Miss Florence Kgbcit outlined the difference between 161 and today, and J,a Baigu played tunes on a Lroomhandle. Lady Bob Gyrates Madly. lady Bob then entered, gyrating madly, and a Hawaiian troupe clad In the costumes of the days of savagery gave untold delight. No lull was experienced, even when the final entertainer was delayed, telent recruited' from the crowd carry ing on the Jollity. A. B. Cuimliey pang several hearty songs and "Sight Draft" O'Brien told lories. "Best ever," yelled merchants who had visited every Buyers' week smoker since the idea was Inaugurated. Jjff Salt UKf City, I'tah, Aug. 9 ( U. P.) Tlie Master Bakers' association, in resolutions adopted here, declared it was their "sacred duty to the pub lic" to fix the "uniform and minimum" price of a loaf of bread at 10 cents. "Recognizing tnat the American pub- ' lie would not be a party to any lower ing of the present high standards of food values.'' the resolutions declared that the bakers, "confronted by un precedented advances in costs of all ! materials. labor and overhead : charges," would encourage everywhere the 10-cent loaf, "to conserve the quan- i tlty and quality rights of the public." The advertising columns oT the daily! press of the country are to be used i by the national association to "take 1 the public into full confidence" regard- I ing the reasons and necessities for the I increased price of bread. "The bak- j ing business is a public trust." the i resolutions said, "and ttie bakers must , secure a living return upon their in-I vestment." "Permanent. gener.il recession in prices never is to be expected." the resolutions declared, after citing the consistent advance in retail prices of all foodstuffs in recent years. it ' T K h t unifriimfiiii t t '"Tifffiftv m frir ti Ernest Scholl.

Two mil lion men are battling fiercely along the Isonzo front in a great struggle centering about Goritz that may prove the turning point of the war. The battle is spreading along the Isonzo. In the first two days of tho great offensive more than lo.OOO Aus trian prisoners were captured. The Austrians resisted with the greatest stubbornness and auffeerd fiightful losses. Home was swrpt with a tremendous wave of enthusiasm today as fresh (ilspatches from the front brought fragmentary details of the figntinS around Goritz The wliolo c.ty was instantly be-flagged when announce ment of the capture of the Goritz bridgehead was made. A huge crowd gathered in Piazzi Co'.onna and cheered the army, K:ng Victor Em manuel and General Cadorna. Similar demonstrations occurred in the thea tres and cafes. Cities Hold Celebrations. In other Italian cities, Milan, Bo logna,' Leghorn and Florence, great crowds gathered In patriotic demon strations that lasted all night.
