DOES GOOD WORK
Mrs. S. M. Blumauer Says East
ern Cities With More Money
Not Showing Better' Results.
"The only , difference I could see
between Portland's dental" clinic for
school children operated by. the
Junior Red Cross and the dental
clinics in the big cities of the East,
is that theirs cost many times as
much as ours," said Mrs. S. M.
Blumauer, director of the Portland
Junior Red Cross, who returned re
cently from an extended Eastern
trip, during which she visited the
clinics in a number of th big cities.
"In Cleveland the school district sets
aside $42,000 annually for the dental
rlinir- and thr ore nina full-time den
tists and nurses, yet the work covejn
only the kindergarten and the first and
second grades. Denver set aside 180.
0"00 annually for medical inspection,
yet there is a dental clinic In only one
school, and that is the Well-known
'opportunity, school which, true to its
name, offers the opportunity to any
man, woman; -or child to learn what he
wants to 'learn in the shortest possible
time.
TWO PERMA5E5T CLINICS
. "So I have returned with the feel
ing that the Portland children are doing
an admirable piece of work and at the
same time that they are reaping great
benefit I can think of many ways in
which the work might be expanded., the
one need being money, and I am sure
that when the people of Portland realize
the practical, constructive work they
are doing they will make this expan
sion possible."
The dental clinics for Portland school
children began operation October 1
through the efforts of the Junior Red
Cross, in cooperation with the Portland
Dental association and with the full in
dorsement of the school administration.
'Two permanent clinics were established,
onerat the Neighborhood house in South
Portland, where the pupils of the Fail
ing, Terwllliger and Holman schools
are cared for, and one at the city hall,
where the pupils -of the Idd, Shattuck,
Couch. Chapman and Davis schools are
cared for. Three portable clinics have
.been established, and these have already
cared for th " defective teeth of the
children in the Lents, Sttephens. Monta
vllla, Portsmouth, St. Johns and Wood
mere pchools. By means of the port
able clinics, it is expected that every
school in 4Jie district will be covered by
the end of the year.
BUTTON IS HONOR BADGE
Since October 1 more than 10.000 chil
dren have been examined, 1500 have
been given dental care, and 5000 have
been sent to their family- dentists.
Some evidence of the value of the work
may be had from the fact , that more
than 500 toothbrushes have been sold
at the clinics. When a child's teeth are
put in order he is given a red button
with a white star. His teem are ex
amined from time to time, and only by
keeping his teeth clean is he allowed to
keep the button. If his mouth shows
neglect, he has to give up his button.
A total of $1000 per month is neces
sary to carry on the work of the clin
ics, and thus far but $3500 has been
contributed. Twelve schools have turned
over to the Junior Red Cross their full
quota, indicating a 100 per cent mem
bership campaign, at 25 cents per
capita, and other, schools havet signi
fied their intention of further Bupport
of the work. . .

115,000 OF FUND
Entertainment to Be3 Given to
Obtain Rest of $25,000 for
Children's Ward.
With $15,000 of a $25,000 sub
scription to the Hahnemann hospital
already pledged by Hotarians, mem
bers of the Portland Rotary club
feel confident of success in their
campaign to provide the hospital
with a floor devoted to the restora
tion of crippled children.
To complete the fund the club plans
an elaborate theatrical entertainment
at The Auditorium, February 1. TTntil
that date, shares at $10 each -will be
sold to all who are interested and the
certificates of contribution will include
seats at the performance. A general
ticket sale will be conducted after orig
inal subscribers have been accommo
dated. -
George C. Mason, chairman of the
'Rotary - club's committee, , Baid : ' "It
should be understood that the Hahne
mann hospital is not a private or a
money making institution. The board
of trustees is composed of such men as
Amedee Smith. Judge Robert Tucker,
F. E. Bowman, F. C. Stealer Dr. John
Besson. Frank W. Warren, William M.
Ladd. Dr. David Beurer and Walter F.
Burrell.
"The hospital is not to be limited to
any school of medicine, but is to have
an open staff. It will be non-sectarian
and will receive patients of any faith.
It will be operated upon the most liberal
lines, even to receiving patients without
charge where properly certificated by
a physician.
"Portland is to be congratulated upon
the certainty of possessing such an in
stitution. . The United States government
has leased the west wing of the build
ing and it will be used for soldier pa
tients for" five years. Due to this lease
by the government, 1 will be possible
through the funds available and to be
raised by the Rotary club and other
organisations to complete the east wing.
In this, wing two entire wards will be
given over to the care and attention of
crippled children. The fund being raised
by the Rotary club will be used to pur
chase the equipment r and supplies for
this department and for apparatus such'
as special beds and appliances needed
to correct defects In children.
"It is hoped that the noble spirit with
which the club has already responded
will result in providing an annual fund
or an endowment so that the depart
ment mill be absolutely free .to needy
children."

United News Staff Correspondent
Washington, Dec. 25. The tariff
bill now goes to the senate,, in which
body it wiH have an almighty harder
time passing than It has Just had
in the lower chamber, where" it
scored by 196 to 86. A formidable
filibuster and be it remembered
that the Democrats still have 47
seatsv to the Republicans' 49 in the
upper chamber awaits it there, and
the time till March 4 is all too short
for the bill's success if they decide
to lay down a talk barrage. ;
No tariff measure of any importance
ever passed , the . house so easily. Two
days' consideration by -the ways and
means committee and one day's debate
on the floor cover the time spent, due
to an effective coalition of western and
southern members, botli Republicans and
Democrats.
CALLED TIBTUAL EMBARGO
Another explanation, perhaps, lies In
the contention of many members that
the bill is not a tariff measure, but be
cause of Its high rates Is an embargo
on importation of agricultural products.
The senate, it is freely predicted, will
oass the bill only after long argument.
and after seriously amending it, If at
alL Following that there is the almost
certain veto of President Wilson.
Wednesday's debate had the sound of
an old fashioned tariff session in the
house. Miss Jeannette Rankin, former
congresswoman from MontanaVenJoying
the floor privilege for the nrst time since
her retirement two years ago, said it
was easy to tell that the speakers were
speaking to convince one another, not
for home consumption. But there was
no evidence that anybody had been con
vinced in the course of the discussion.
OPPOXE2JT8 SEE ITO REVENUE
While Chairman Fordney of the ways
and means committee estimated the
revenue derivative under the bill to be
$130,000,000 as against the $5,000,000 now
obtained on the same commodities, op
ponents declared on the floor that it
could not be pretended that the bill
would raise any, revenue. The schedules
are too high to permit of any importa
tions, they said. The schedules. Repre
sentative Oldneld or Arkansas asserted,
are higher than those of the Payr.e
Aldrich bill.
"What we need," he said, "is a market
for the things we raise. This bill will
make it harder for us to market the
great crops now on hand in this country.
It will be harder for Europe to pay for
our products if Europe can sell nothing
in this country'
