NEVER LATE TO ROLE CALL

INSPECTOR HAWLEY QUITS
Never late for rol) call In 21 years of
service, never suspended and never
formally accused 'of any offense, Is the
record .Inspector H. H. Hawley of. the
police department Lproadly boasts. In
spector Hawley Is soon to retire under
the new policemen's pension act on
$62.50 a month.
A 'few days after ; the City granted
aged policemen a pension Mr. Hawley
received a pleasant surprirf from his
mother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Willard
P. Hawley Sr. The police officer learned
that his brother,! who Is president of
the large Oregon City paper mill bear
ing his ' name, had made arrangements
with Mayor Baker to give a monthly
check larger than the city's: check to
his brother, provided the city would re
tire him under the half pay ordinance.'
The mayor agreed, so Willard Hawley
suggested to his brother that he hand in
his resignation and pension claim. 4 The
mayor "tipped off Willard Hawley, and
the, mall a few days later brought tba
former" policeman a neat little check
from his brother.
During t Inspector Hawley s 21 . years
on the police force, he wore. a uniform
but two months. The remainder of the
time he has been assigned to special de
tail' work; He spent most of his time
in .hun ting up J wandering ' sons : and
daughters for parents in almost every
part ofT the country. He Is . considered
the best man In the department in this
line. Hawley claims he has handled
17,000 cases,
Inspector Hawley will be 65 years of
age next April. Tie says that when he
retires, probably on December 16, that
he will take a vacation and "enjoy the
period of play that an old man Is en
titled to." He resides at 605 East Broad
way with his wife.
Methods employed by the county in
administering relief to the sick and
needy will be reformed and considerably
enlarged during thejcomlng year, if rec
ommendations made by the cltrrens
advisory committee Wednesday are
adopted by the county court. The rec
ommendations followed a lengthy dis
cussion of the methods at present used
In. administering relief. - In this connec
tion the suggestion was made that the
method of Investigating the need of re
lief In' specific casps should be made by
trained social settlement workers, the
present means being described as in
adequate. The recommendation that one
or more tralneVl Investigators i be em
ployed by the county was mad by I.
J. Goldsmith and met with the approval
of the other members of the committee.
In order to provide for such employes
and for other expenses, the board rec
ommended that the appropriation be re
tained at jthe brlgina.1 figure $22,555.
No Fritlral Appropriation
Dlscusalon of the' county relief system
Included the statement by Dr. K. A. J.
-Mackenzie that the work of .the free
dispensary should Ibe enlarged and re
calve greater suppbrt from the county,
inasmuch aa it is doing a valuable work,
much of It by volunteer work by doctors
and purses.' ,
Summary action was taken , by the
committee in refusing to recommend any
appropriation for the Rose Festival next
year, A letter asking for such an ap
propriation was reajil, but it aroused
; only merriment on jthe part of the board.
"If there Is to be any celebration next
year." declared Mr. Llprnan,, "it should
be in honor of Our returning soldiers,
and we want to make that the beBt
possible."
Adoption of a resolution advocating
tho consolidation of the constable's of
fice with that of the sheriff featured a
vigorous session of the committee Tues
.. day night. The committee made It plain
that It would back up this action by di
- rectihg that the state legislature, which
convenes next month, be urged to enact
necessary legislation combining the two
offices.
Appropriation Ii Cat
. An item of $4,000 for salaries In the
constable's- office during 1919 was
canned by the committee, which decided
that half that sum would be enough to
run the office until the middle of the
; year; when the committee hones the leg'
islatlon asked for will have become ef
fective.
The advisory committee of nine tax
payers Is wading right; into, the budget
or expenses prepared Djr me county com'
mlssloners, and, while Its recommend a
tlons are not mandatory; the committee
. Is going to Insist that they be heeded by
the county officials tats year. Members
of the committee are representative clt
Isens with large property Interests. The
personnel Includes the president of a
railroad system and the head of one of
the largest department stores in the
Northwest
Attacks Conrthonse Janitors
That the present law governing the
conduct of the coroner's office is a dls
grace to the community was the opinion
expressed by Dr. K. A. J. Mackenzie.
- The' committee adopted a resolution rec
ommending that .the i law be changed
.by the legislature to conform to modern
methods.
With one dissenting ivote the commit
tee recommended that the present jani
torial frce at the cowrt house be dis
continued and that the janitor .work in
the future be contracted for. Mr. Llp
' man said that six janitors take care of
the six story building In which is lo
cated the department ptore of which he
Is one of the owners, j The department
tore has .200,000 square feet of floor
space as against 183,000 for the court
house, where 20 janitors are employed
"You can register! me as voting
against letting out these poor janitors,
' declared Abe Tlchner.j
It was the unanimous opinion of the
committee : that Multnomah county
should have a new hospital without
delay. It was voted to take up this
matter at a special session with the"
county commissioners to determine the
best procedure for raising the money to
build the first unit.
Dr. Mackenzie said .at. least $350,000
should be appropriated this year. Other
members of the committee expressed"
doubt that such a large sum could be
added to the! tax levy, but thought it
might be raised by the issuance of bonds.
Every hospital in the city Is crowd
ed," declared Dr. Mackenzie. "We thould
have an additional thousand hospital
beds as soon as possible. I believe a
hospital unit should be constructed
Jointly by the clt'y, county' and state on
the ground donated to the University
of Oregon medical school on Marquam
hill by the Union Pacific railroad. The
state ought to provide EOO beds, the
county 250 and the city 250. The uni
versity has just completed a building
On the Marquam site at a cost of $125,-
000 and It is the intention to add to
this i gradually until a great medical
center; is built up. The county hospital
could well be Included In this program."
The cost of maintaining the old coun
ty hospital this year will be $52,000, this
sum being allowed by the committee. .
In; two sessions, one at 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning and the other at night.
the ; committee passed Items of the
budget totaling $280,000.

HUMANITARIAN PLEA
FOR FOOD SAVING HAS
REPLACED WAR NEED
No Definite Plan for Feeding of
Europeans Yet Franfed by
Food Administration.
No definite plan has yet been formu
lated by the food administration in con
nection with feeding Europeans, but the
point of view has changed from a war
necessity to a humanitarian appeal, ac
cording to a message, received by Fed
eral . Food Administrator W. B. Ayer
from Washington this morning.
Expected," advices- from Herbert
Hoover, now negotiating with the allied
governments', -state that the situation is
till indefinite, although liberated terri
tories' are urgently calling for food.
The. telegram from Washington is as
follows: " i. -.. ,
Situation does not yet admit formula
tion , of definite program. Negotiation
with allied governments regarding shipping-finances
-and organisation still in
progress.. Liberated territories are dily
and urgently calling upon the United
States for food. Pending the determina
tion of a complete program, Mr. Hoover
before leaving arranged for the purchase
and dispatch of 275.000 tons of food to
meet- the most urgent - calls. The first
Of the ships carrying this food has been
reported as having passed Gilbralter car
rying supplies to Southern Europe.
. The pressing, demand for food la ob
vious but the formation of a definite
program must await further conferences
abroad. Our point of view has now been
changed from a war necessity to a hu
manitarian appeal. . The need for vol
untary . cooperation as distinguished
from enforced regulation therefore be
comes increasingly apparent.

senate commerce committee today called
upon the attorney general to produce

Irregularities In the construction, oi
ships at the Hog' Island yard. Although

several months ago, the committee has

SERVICE FACTS
The Dependability of F. S. Durming, Inc., and
the advantages of employing services of an insti
tution of high reputation were clearly shown dur
ing the influenza epidemic.
Establishments were taxed to the utmost.
Questions of price and service were secondary.
Bat Dunning took no advantage of the situation.
Absolutely - no advance in prices were made. In
stead, the same splendid Dunning Service and rea
sonable charges obtained.
DuAning's policy of "Service in Fullest Measure"-held
good -and always will hold good.

If the farmer cannot get enough for his live stock, he
raises tea, cad thepcliercsts less lxmnateriaL
If thoooQScmer hss to pay too m&ch for his meat, he
eats leso-of it, and the pacfaer finds his market decreased.
The packer wants the producer to get enough to make
Hve-stoc& raising profitable, and he wants the price of meat
so low that everyone will eat it
But all hecesi do; and what he would have to do in any
-case to stay in basiaees, is to keep down the cost of pro
cessing the manner's stock into meat so that the consumer
pays for me meat and by-products only a little more than
the farmer gets for his animals. '
r For example, last year Swift & Company paid for its
cattle about 90 per cent of what it got for meat and
by-products (such as hides, tallow, oils, etc.)
It cattle from the farm were turned miraculously into meat in the
hands of retailers (wiUxml going through the expense of dressing,
shipping sad marketing), the farmer would get only about 1 cents
per pound more fbr his cattk or consumers would pay only about
2Y cents per pound less for their beef I
Out of this cent or two per pound, Swift Sc. Company pays for the
operation of extensive plants, pays freight on meats, operates refriger
ator cars, maintains branch houses, and in most cases, deovers to
retailers afl. over tire' United States. The profit amounts to only a
fraction of a cent, and a part of this profit goes to build more plants, .
to give better service, and to increase company 's usefulness to the r
, country. - j ,..v':'H-i ; -:; ":'v - .., , : " ;
