"This man asked a BolsheJUc official In Moscow : I know a man wjho has 10, 000 rubles ; have I the right :to take his rubles? " 'Certainly ; the official replied. "He has a pretty wife also; how about her?' 1 " Certainly." "I am satisfied that Bolshevism is a sort of international conspiracy.

'BLOCK SYSTEM' TO BE EMPLOYED IN SOLVING Plan Qpntemplates Assigning One OVomair to Block for ! Household Duties. Returning- from a conference of repre sentatives of the United SUtes Employ ment service in Washington, D. C, Mrs. Bruce Scott, state director of the. wom en's division for Oregon, announces the "block system" of employment for wom en helpers tn housework. The plan Is to assign a certain woman to cover one block, going: to one or two houses each Jay to assist in the housework. The housewives can in this way arrange their work so as to do their cleaning or what ever they have on the day when the woman of their block is to be there. Such a plan, Mrs. Scott explains, will make it possible for the housewife to obtain competent help at a reasonable price and at the same time assure the worker of a steady and fair income- Mrs. Scott reports that the western states rank high In the employment ser vice In the matter of giving satisfaction to both employers and employes. She says, also, that the women's bureau is not to be changed by the failure of congress to pass the appropriations meas ure, though the men's department must be reduced considerably in the smaller branches. She states that a radio mes sage from President Wilson, sent lust before be landed In France, Instructed the department of labor to maintain a skeleton employment bureau until such time as further provision could be made. The bureau has been assured that it will receive favorable treatment when con gress reconvenes, which is believed to be right after the president returns. Mrs. Scott received her official appoint ment, while in Washington, as state di rector or tne women's branch and as sistant to the state director for Oregon of the employment service, under Wilfred Smith.

Death Ensues. - Sudden complications from his heart arising about S o'clock Sunday morning. Everett fJUnes. well known Portland business and club man, died at his home at 349 Thirty-second street north Sun day afternoon at about 2:30 o'clock. He had been confined to his bed since Mon day, ill with pneumonia, but his condi tion all the week had been hopeful and Saturday night he appeared to be doing particularly well. The complications arising early Sunday morning, however, were so great that stimulants failed to keep Mr. Ames alive till the crisis should be passed. He was nearly 46 years of age. Mr. Ames was first vice president of the firm, Ames-Harria-Neville, which had headquarters in San Francisco and of which his brother was president. He had been a resident of Portland about 14 years and is survived by his widow and two sons, Edward . Everett and James II. -Ames. At his bedside when he passed away were his widow and two sons, his brother, James Ames ; sister. Miss Elsie Ames ; and his mother, all of Oakland ; and Mr. and Mrs. Alma D. Kats of Port land, close friends of the family. Dr. Herbert Nichols was the attending phy sician. Mr. Ames' other brother, Fletcher Ames of Oakland, and his wife will arrive Tuesday. Mr. Ames was warmly admired by his business associates and particularly by his employes. P. W. Lewis, asistant manager of the Portland branch of the firm, who was graduated from the same class in high school as Mr. Ames, and who has been his close friend for 27 years, said this morning: "There were few men as close to hie employes as Mr. Ames. He always had time to listen to the most trivial troubles and he took time to see that these troubles were over come whether they were a matter of money or anything else. "He was a man with a remarkable brain. He had a comprehensive mind unusually keen even for slight details." Mr. Ames stood in the background and contributed to the success of much pa triotic endeavor. He was one of the quiet, effective men who keep the work of the community moving, yet without ostentation and without any seeking for personal credit. His abilities as an or ganiser, counsellor and director were highly valued in Portland. During Liberty loan drives there us ually comes an hour of depression fol lowing the effervescent campaign launching. Persons and firms who are expected to make large subscriptions defer action or offer excuses. . Mr. Ames was always the unanimous choice as chairman of the "flying squadron" and it was conceded there was no other man in Portland equal to him in rounding up the bir subscriptions or getting the names of the doubtful on the dotted line. Wat Intensely Patriotic "We learned to value Mr. Ames highly during all the patriotic campaigns." said Emery Olmstead, chairman of the Portland Liberty loan committee. "Tie was intensely patriotic He was untir ing in his work and unsparing; of : bis efforts. He would work all night at any time to solve a knotty problem oi or ganisation, or to correct a defect in plans for solicitation or runaa. me war camp community service, the united war work drive and the Liberty loan, organization all owe much to him. I remember at one-time in the T. W. C. A. war camp community drive that he spent an entire night working out a fund solicitation plan. He was vice chairman of the war camo . community seiwice and had charge of the work in toy absence from the city. He was always head of tne Liberty loan flying squadron because he could direct this phase of the organisa tion work better than any other." Mr. Ames was director of the united war work campaign which was carried on successfully from Liberty temple headquarters. From this drive hegalned conviction . that all eleemosynary and philanthropic effort should be coordi nated and the solicitation of funds for such purposes decreased in frequency, while the administration of the work Bhould be less, with less duplication and overlapping. ' Came Here 11 Tears Ago Mr. Ames was a graduate of the Uni versity of California law school and aft er his graduation practiced law success fully in San Francisco, later entering industry with his father and brothers. He came to Portland 14 years ago and had since then been manager of the Portland branch and vice president of the firm. He was a life member of the Multnomah club, a member of the Cham ber of Commerce, the Arlington clubr the University club and of the Waverley Country club. He was a director of the federal reserve bank. The funeral will be held at the resi dence Tuesday at 2 o'clock. Dr. John H. Boyd officiating. The pallbearers in clude C. F. Adams, J. A.

He said he thought that when the president returns with the league cove- nant probably in a somewhat amended form that the opposition to the cove nant would melt away in view of a common desire - to bring about peace, however permanent that peace might be, and to prevent an aggravation of those economic and social conditions which ware undoubtedly responsible for the selsure by the Bolshevists of the Hungarian government. Although the situation in Russia, Germany and, Hungary is a serious one, he thought that the representatives of the big powers at the peace conference would be successful in determining upon ways and means to cope with- it. The senator added that he did not think the president was opposed to the League of Nations' covenant being amended with reference to the Monroe Doctrine, the settlement of internal questions like Im migration or the tariff by the United States, but that, he believed It was the president's desire not to burden the covenant with provisions which might cause the Japanese, for Instance, to de mand that other . provisions, in which they were Interested, be also Inserted in the document.
