Sapid Deterioration of Wood and High
Prices of Lnmlitr lead City to
Change 2t Policy.
On account of the high cost of lum
ber and Us comparatively rapid de
terioration the city is to discontinue
the use of wood In building street
crosswalks. A. L, ' Barbur, -commis
sioner of public works, has ordered
that hereafter all crosswalks are to
be constructed of concrete.
"Concrete Is now considerably
cheaper than wood, with lumber at Its
present price," declared Barbur. Sat
urday. "It will last much longer. I
never could understand why the city
should use lumber in the construction
of Its crosswalks when It required pri
vate property owners to construct
walks In front of their property of
concrete.
"The concrete crosswalks will be
built in advance of hard surface and
when jpavement Is put in, the hard
surface will connect 'With the con
crete walks."

Arrive Here Thursday.
That children, especially girls, must
be kept off the streets of Portland
at night Is the edict of Judge Tazwell
of the Juvenile court.
"Numerous reports of the misdoings
of young girls and less frequently re
garding boys have been coming to the
Juvenile court authorities." said Judge
Tazwell. "Various efforts have been
made to brine this state of affairs to
an . end. but none of them have met
with success.. Parents have been
warned through the press and by offi
cers of the court to exercise a proper
degree of parental discipline, but in
many cases we have failed to receive
their cooperation in the matter and In
some we have met atetive opposition.
In other words, we have been told that
it is none of our business."
"We have ample authority to show
them that it Is our affair." he con
tinued. "We now propose to give par
ents delinquent to this respect an
opportunity to reform.
From now on all the officials of
the Juvenile court will be on the street
at night. They will take the names of
all children out at unseemly hours,
this depending on their age, the hour
and othef circumstances. The names
of the parents will also be taken. They
will be' cited to appear before the Ju
venile court to explain why they do
not keep their children home at night
If the parents neglect to appear, they
will be arrested for contempt of court
and their names will be published."
The chief of police has agreed to
cooperate and the first night relief
will assist the officers of the Juvenile
court.

If It were not for originality, ingenuity and ambition in the
human mind, there would be little progress made and medicine, den
tistry and other sciences would be taught and practiced today as they
were a hundred years ago.
The man who progresses is the man who steps out of the beaten
path, pushes theories to one side, upsets ideas, notions and traditions,
and by native ability and bulldog persistence does the seemingly im
possible and makes people sit up and take notice.

"He's wearing a uniform at Ameri-,
can Lake now," said Dan J. Malarkey
before the Oregon Civic league, Satur
day afternoon.
"He was the boy who went whoop
ing along the streets of Oregon City
yelling I got it,' when his affidavit
that he was a necessary agriculturist
won him an order of exemption.
"Fortunately, the exemption board
had lawful right to correct Its error.
When we found that our farmer was
being supported by his parents, who
were of pro-Gerfean sympathies, that
he wore toothpick shoes and his hands
were calloused only with the handle of
a billiard cue, we put him in uniform
and sent him to American Lake to
learn how to be a good American."
Mr. Malarkey, who is secretary of
the exemption board for district No. lv
was explaining at the league s Satur-'
day noon public forum at the Multno
mah hotel how it happened that to
recruit the 717 required of Oregon in
the military draft, five times as many
young men had to be called.
. He spoke , of another. It was a
young fellow who professed himself
the sole support of a wife. Investi
gation showed that the wife had an
income of her own and had recently
inherited $25,000. Ensued the follow
ing dialogue:
"Thought you made affidavit that
your wife was dependent on you for
support?" t
"I did."
"But we find she has an income and
a substantial fortune."
to
us
"Yes, but I meant she was dependent
on me for social support."
A third claimed exemption as the
sole dependence of his parents. He
was asked, "How old are your par
ents T'
"Forty-eight and 46."
"Is your father sickr.
"No." , ;
"Is your mother infirm?"
"We-ell, she. has a sore knee."
A fourth youth, used by Mr. Malar
key to s illustrate the causes basing
claiming exemption, said: '
I just couldn't bring myself
shoot a German."
"Why so squeamish T'
"My parents ivn r-,v n
children in German: w ra4 nrmn
publications and we said German
prayers." j
"Well, then," Mr. Malarkey quoted
himself as saying, "you'd better get on
the uniform of the country your par
ents adopted and in which you were
born and see it you can bring yourself
to let the Germans shoot at yon."
The recital of experiences by . the
secretary of the exemption board' was
used to point the conclusion that the
thing which should govern exemptions
is whether the individual is of most
use to his country at home or at the
front.
"Abov all, declared Mr. Malarkey.
"the country needs fighting nun and
many who say they are of more use
at home should, wait until their coun
try decides where they will be most
useful."
Better order one of these con
vertible Sedans or Coupes right
away.
It will probably be a long time
before you can again buy such
luxurious cars at so low a price
Factory foresight began the con
struction or these cars several
months ago so that you might
have them as soon as the weather
turned without the aggravating
delay so often encountered in
the purchase of a closed car.
And materials for them were pur
chased when prices ruled much
lower than now. They represent
wonderful value judged by the
present day range of prices for
materials.
You thus get the double advantage
of low cost and immediate de
livery. Come in and let us show you these
cars.
