ARTIST GIVES VIEWPOINT Michael J. Berdnikoff, Painter of Modern School, Is in Portland to Remain for Winter. By Phil T'arrlsh - Camouflage painting during the war forced recognition of the im pressionist school as standing for the highest in art, maintains Michael J. Berdnikoff, now in Portland. Berd nikoff was an early volunteer in the navy, and until Germany shouted "kamerad" he wielded his deft brush at Mitchell field, Long Island, mak ing seaplanes look like glares of light or pea-green waves. "Aluminum colors were used almost entirely on the planes," Berdnikoff said yesterday, as he added a tree to a wild looking landscape. "You see, a bird has a white breast to deflect the sun light and make it difficult t- really focus the eye. The blrd"s back is grey or green to make It Invisible against the ground or foliage. We stole all those tricks of nature- for the camou flage service." SECRET IS EXPLAINED With -a wave of hin hand, Berdnikoff brushed aside the precepts that have ruled artists since the first plnch-bug posed for an Egyptian hieroglyphic. "Men apd Women don't realize that they get onlV an ImpresHlon when they glance at a landscape, and there Is the secret of the new art." Berdnikoff intends to remain In Port land for the wlrrter. interpreting the beauty spots that have made the North west a mecca for nature lovers. He already has a number of paintings on exhibition in the Remlck Song Shop, where his easol has been set up. FAMOUS PAINTINGS Jf AMID One of Berdnikoff most famous paintings wa presented to Miss Mar garet Wilson. President Wilson's daugh ter, at an appreciation from the sol diers for her singing In the camps. Another. "The Forest Fire," which Would cover the side of a large room, was presented to the Y. M. C. A. This picture was painted after Berdnikoff had stutdied forest fires for years in California. Berdnikoff claims to have painted many Of the pictures shewn by Doctor Cook Tlpon his return from the Arctic M taken from scenes at the North Pole Not that Berdnikoff was with Doctor Cook, lut when he was 14 years aid he ran away from home in Russia Mid finally reached the White sea, there he joined the biological expedi tion, organized by Grand DiLk.e Serglus Mid mkde several trips Into the tee fields. Their ship, the Andrey Pervet vany, was wrecked, and Berdnikoff signed on the Pomoz for a polar bear and walrus hunting cruise. This ship finally returned to port in safety, but not until It had drifted through the famous ieath trap, Kara strait. Seven men died of scurvy and the captain accidentally shot himself to death. AttTIST TIIAVELS ABROAD Berdnikoff was caught In the midst of a revolution in Rio de Janerio. He failed to make his way through the rioting soldiery to the hotel where all his earthly belongings were waiting, and was forced to cling to the steps of a train taking tourists to safety. Be lig without funds, he went to the im migration house In tle city where they Stopped. The officials didn't Walt to ssk questions ; they simply locked him .up with hundreds of European immi grant families for shipment to the in terior. One of the men In charge, how ever, took a liking to Berdnikoff and the next day introduced him to the brother of the president of Brazil, who gave him a letter to the manager of the farm where he was to be sent. PTJT OX SlOW TRAIN The slow train on which the Immi grants were caged dragged along for SO days through dense sylvas on Its way to the interior. At the end of the railroad they were herded off and driven to a fsrm HO miles away where Berdnikoff was put to work killing white ants. "I Worked for two days." Berdnikoff recounted, ' "and then made the mi take of drinking out of a pool. In that country' you have to ask the natives Which pool Is poisonous and which clean. I whs sick with fever for weeKn, and when I regained strength to work decided that it was time to run away. Now the law of Central Brazil is that the manager of -the farm wears two guns, I started for ' what I thought Was, the station, but headed in the wrong direction and would have dieV In the jungle if a native hadn't sent me In the right direction. Before I reached the station I met the manager. I showed him the letter from the presi dent's brother. If it had not been for that he would have shot .me." LANDS INUNITED STATIS When Berdnikoff finally found the United States he didn't want to lave. WIELDED DEFT BRUSH IN CAMOUFLAGE ART r r -4 F ft g i a Michael J. Bardnlkoff He was for a time artist for the com missioner of horticulture In California. Every summer Berdnikoff packs his belongings and hikes into the moun tains or takes ship for Alaska to hunt for gold, but now he Is thinking of something nearer home.

The object of this organization is to cooperate with the Oregon state cham ber, on educational. Industrial, agricul tural, civic and commercial problems, and the headquarters will be in the of fice of the senior organization. Any commercial organization in an Oregon college or high school may become a member of this state body with approval of the board of directors.

The annual meeting of delegates will be held at the place of meeting of the State Teachers' associa tion. A board of seven directors will be elected by the delegates at the first an nual meeting to serve for termB of from one to three years. The board of direc tors in turn will elect a president, a vice president and a secretary-treasurer. The board of directors will have com plete supervision of the affairs of the chamber and may adopt whatever new . rules they deem advisable. The time and place of ppecial meeting will be specified by the president. SO REGULAR DUES There will be no regular dues in the assooiation, and the directors will have the power to levy assessments against member organizations for specific pur poses, not In excess of 10 cents a year for each Individual member. These tentative rulings will become ef fective for the permanent conduction of the organization when properly adopted by the authorized delegates of at least four schools. The delegates will meet at the office of the State Chamber of Commerce In this city in December for final adoption of the constitution. Formation of a Junior State Chamber Of Commerce was discussed by schools and colleges of the state late last spring and the student and faculties are now anxious for a definite organization at an early date: t, : .
