Coal Demand High, Bell Girls Taking
Prices Are Soaring! Place of Bell Boys
United States to
Purchase Gas Masks
Wary Department to Buy Derlces Sim
ilar to Those Used By French Army,
as An Experiment.
Washington, Nov. 11. Twenty-seven
gas masks, somewhat similar to
those used by the French army, are to
be purchased by the navy department
lor experimental purposes. These
masks range in costs from $j to liO
each according to design and material.
They are of light metal construction
of such shape as will cover the nose.
Factories Are so Buy That Their
Weed for Fuel Is Stupendous and Do.
meetlo Users Are Faying Penalty.
New JTork, Nov. 8. (U. P. ) Pros
perity may yet freeie New forka pop-1
ulation to death.
Such at least was today the expla
nation of the coal man, ladled out with
eacn oraer or coai iu to i. a iuu
and atlU going up.
The mills and factories are eo busy
that their demand for coal Is stupen
dous, is the unanimous averment. They
have atmly grabbed everything In eight
and are aching to get their hands on
more. Of course a thing like that
pubhes up prices and the prices for
domestic follow. Then, too, cars are
scarce, storage Is at an almost pro
hibitive figure and wages lor all work
ers In the coal mining and handling
activities are high. That'b all.
"Wife, the mahogany center table
goes into the fire next. We can put a
piece of coal In the drawing room in
its place and folks will believe we are
tremendously wealthy." Such may be
the solution:
mouth and eyes, and are provided with
a chamber lor ' holding chemicals or
other means of eliminating obnoxious
t".ses and powdered carbon from the
air to be Inhaled.
Reports received from abroad in
dicate that the masks used in the pres
ent war are constantly changing in de
sign to meet new and intentionally
surprising conditions of the class of
warfare that employs poisonous gases
as a means of attack.
The army department, it is under
stood, already is experimenting with
certain designs of poisonous gas
masks.

"Front," eays the clerk at the hotel
desk, and Instead of the customary be-
buttoned boy there comes a "knock-me-dead'
blonde or a dashing brunette to
take your luggage and pilot you to
your room.
"Bell girls" are more attentive than
bell boys says' the originator of the
idea. That Is the reason they have
been installed In the Hotel Etatler
here.
Women guests find the "bell girls"
almost as useful as a maid, the man
agement states. the "hook-me-up"
problem is now easily solved.
None of the drummers has com
plained. Americans Fighting
In Europe, Problem
Washington. Nov. 11. (P. X. S
A question has arisen at the navy de
partment as to whether certain Amer
ican citizens who went abroad and
served a term with one of the belliger
ent forces of Europe are eligible for
enlistment In the United States army
and navy. Presumably these persons
were required to take the oath of
allegiance to the foreign country, in
which event they may have forfeited
their citizenship in the United States.
On the other hand, as aliens are not
debarred from enlistment, it is not
seen why Americans should be denied
that privilege because they served a
term in a foreign army.

Phan well
on men of
all builds
In the task of gathering and pub
lishing election returns from county,
stale and nation, the facilities of The
Journal proved entirely adequate.
From the time the polls closed Tues
day until late Thursday afternoon,
when Wilson's victory in California
assured his reelection. The Journal
published 16 editions, morning- and eve
ning, which kept the public advised of
the latest developments.
Beginning late Tuesday afternoon
when early bulletins began to be re
ceived from the eastern states, until
late Thursday night. The Journal
building was surrounded by throngs
of interested citizens. Window bulle
tins served to keep the public advised
of the early progress of the count
until dark Tuesday when returns were
flashed on a screen on the Broadway
side of the Unitarian church.
PubUo Shows Interest.
That this service was appreciated
was evidenced by the immense throng
that occupied every available inch of.
space whence the sereen could be reaJ.
iio hungry for Information was this
crowd the largest ever assembled in
Portland to receive election returns
that the stereopticon was operated un
til late into the night, a corps of ef
ficient workers preparing the bulletins
for display.
From an early hour Tuesday eve
ning, when it became apparent that
New York's preference for Hughes did
not necessarily indicate his election.
The Journal service was abreast of
every newa development.
In the matter of handling the re
turns from Multnomah county, The
Journal proved the superiority of its
service. In Its Wednesday morning
edition it published incomplete returns
from !7S"out of 375 precincts In Mult
nomah county as against the Orego
nlan's incomplete returns from 200 out
of the 37a precincts.
Journal la lead.
The Journal kept far in the lead of
The Telegram in the publication of
Multnomah county returns. For exam
ple in its 2 o'clock edition Thursday
afternoon The Journal published com
plete returns from 372 Multnomah
countv precincts out of 375 while in
it3 edition published at the same hour
the Telegram contained complete re
turns from only 220 Multnomah county
precincts. The same lead was kept
by The Journal over the Telegram In
publishing returns on men and meas
ures from other Oregon counties out
side of Multnomah.
It was the prompt and efficient
service of the United Press, the In
ternational News Service and the Pa
cific News Service, the enthusiasm of
the correspondents throughout the
Oregon country and the cooperation of
a small army of special employes who
assisted the members of; the- regular
news staff that enabled The Journal to
get these results. Additional telephone
facilities provided by both companies
facilitated the collection of returns.
Fhones JCspt Busy.
No sooner had the polls closed In
Multnomah county Tuesday evening
than scores of messengers, recruited
mostly from The Journal carriers,
began the rounds telephoning the in
complete returns at frequent intervals
to The Journal where another large
force of expert adding machine men
from the Behnke-Walker business col
lege compiled the figures which were
in turn passed on to the news writers,
and bulletin service. A special bat
tery of direct line Home telephones
was used almost exclusively by the
messengers.
LAte Tuesday night a third crew of
men assembled at the court house' to
record and complete the count of the
vote in each of the 375 Multnomah
county precincts. These tabulators
worked in relays until the task was
ended.
Adding Machines Aid.
The adding machines in The Journal
pounded away furiously all day Wed
nesday and late into the night compil
ing this complete count for the after
noon and morning editions. Late
Thursday morning complete totals had
been secured of all the men and meas
ures on the ballot from 374 of the 375
county precincts. It was mid-afternoon
before a motorcycle messenger
arrived with the belated count from
Precinct ?37 at 573 Union avenue
where the election board had required
more than 40 hours in counting the
ballots.
All day Wednesday and Thursday
the Ya'mhill street slday of The Jour
nal building was chdCed with crowds
assembled to watch the window bulle
tins and to await successive editions
of The Journal which they knew con
tained the news while it was news.
When 'the election of Wood -row
Wilson hung in doubt hour
after hour, the United Pres
-organization was put. to the
most severe strain In ita-hls-;
tory. Thousands in Portland,
and all : over tne country de
pended on what came over its
wires to tell, them who the
next president would be. Many
of the United Press men" stack
to their desks and to their tele
graph keys more than 40
hours without Bleep, and by
means of news brought into
The Journal office "by United
Press" tbe people of Portland
were kept accurately informed
of how the history making
struggle progressed.
After the issne was decided,
when for the first time since
7 o'clock last Tuesday morn
ing Che strain was relieved, W,
W. Hawkins, general manager
of the United Press, sent the
following message to all United
Press men from his New York
office:.
"AH reports prove thst the
United Press was consistently
first and right on the election
throughout. It was the great
est story of its kind in history,
and the service measured to the
emergency all along the line.
No small degree of credit is
due to the operators whose
HEROIC work met every de
mand and never wavered under
the most severe tension and the
longest strain. ,
"Every bureau manager in
the service shares the credit
for the wonderful showing on
speed, -accuracy, coolness and
the punch that made the United
Press famous."

Washington. Nov. 11. (P. N. S.)
The development of Roentgen rays in

powers has not been halted because of
the war. A method fdr removing for
