SYNAGOGUES ARE
OBSERVING FEAST
OF WEEKS TODAY
Jewish Holiday Marks Revelation
( of law to Moses; Young Pledge
- Selves to Faith of Ancestors.
. e By Ernest W, Peterson :X"
The Feast of Week or Shabouth
Will be observed today in many of
the Jewish synagogueS throughout
the nation. ; and.; In more orthodox
congregations on Monday also.
' Originally ShaDuoth was an agricul
tural festival In which the gathering 'of
spring- wheat was ' used as' an -occasion
: tor special servicee of thanksgiving-. A
later tradition associates this day with
the revelation of God at Mt. Sinai when
the law was revealed to Moses. By
-this revelation Israel was summoned
from among the nations of the earth to
become the messenger of that law of
humanity and under the inspiration of
and corporation that threaten to ' sweep
over the earth, according to the tradi
tion. As a, result of Israel's example
of righteousness the Jew hopes that seal
for the service of God may become the
striving of all mankind. .
The reformed synagogue- stresses this
historical feature of the Feast Weeks
as a service of dedication of the Jew
to the covenant Imposed by his Jewish
ancestry to him. By means of this eym
bolisation and idealization of the Shab
Tioth festival reform congregations have
utilized i it u the . confirmation day
wherein ' the young men and women
pledge themselves anew to continue the
covenant of their fathers and to ex-
empllfy In their lives and conduct the
spirit of justice and humanity; - ; .-;,,

BALANCED HOME AIM ' ' "v '
- Mrs. Beggs contended that the best
home was the balanced home, , where
the father and the mother- each bore
an Individual and equal share of the
responsibility, and where each" lived
and strove: to leave an imprint for
good upon the child. - And, she' argued,
it was : proper-and for. the- betterment
of the schools y, to ! have the ' .view
point and the Instinct of the5 mothers
felt In the councils of .the 'district.
Judge E. V. UttleTleld. Iri commencing
his address.! told his auditors that he had
no slogan but that he believed a man
living in a community and possessing
the ability to rperform a public service
should be willing to serve if called upon
to do so. ; 1
"I believe the -schools are maintained
primarily for the benefit of the pupils
and of no one else," Judge Littlef ield
said. I believe that secondarily they
'a
5Or
V
are maintained for the benefit of- the
taxpayers.- - We are : burdened -with a
great debt and we must have economy.
I also believe in the teachers and their
rights and that they should be well paid
for their services. : , ""I k
PUPILS PLACED FIBST ;
Judge LittleCeld said that, if elected,
he would attempt to protect the rights
of the pupils first, of the taxpayers sec
ond -and of the teachers third, and to
strive at all times for those things which
would make for the betterment and
progress of the schools. ' .-1 , ..;
Charles B. Moores Injected a little
humor Into his opening remarks by stat
ing that he understood the purpose of in
viting the-various candidates to. appear
before the meeting was in the nature of
a civil service examination, so that those
In attendance could see how they looked
and bow they ' acted. Mr. Moores then
said that he had been urged to become
a candidate and had done so reluctantly,
but because he felt it to be his duty to
do what he could to assist in the con
duct of the- public schools of the -city
were he to be called by the voters to
the service.".' :-; ,.vV . ; v'"- - -
: Those who Inducted me to become a
candidate," Mr, Moores said, "brought
me no platform nor asked of me no
pledge, and as a candidate, orj If elected,
as a director will have no! pledge to
keep or no promises to fulfill.

do not come here as an' antagonist
of any ; of the other candidates-who are
seeking election," Mr. Moores continued
"but am actuated only,; and, if elected,
will, work only for the greatest good for
the schools.
"1 believe that we should attempt to
harmonise the ; differences the petty
controversies over non-essentials that
have been vexing us. I do mot know
that' it may be : possible to do this en
tirely, but we should attempt it- : We
ought to work with an eye single to the
common good," t .-
Mr. Moores pleaded for added public
interest on the part of tfte voting public
in the '. coming school election and de
plored the fact that in a recent election
but a per cent of the possible vote bad
J-It is a civic crime.- he said, "for the
public to show so little interest in the
election of men and the determination
of measures so vitally affecting the fu
ture of our -educational system as well
as the. expenditure of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars that 3Vs per cent of the
vote of the district Is permitted to de

' "Whatever may be ' the result of the
election so s far 1 as I am concerned. I
appeal to. the public to go to the polls
and regiatera decent vote." -
James. C Calne delivered the shortest
address of the day In behalf of his can
didacy. ; He said : "Let's make schooling
mean education." thanked the, league for
its invitation and sat down." i
W. J, H. Clark -said he stood f or equal
consideration for pupil, teacher and tax
payer, and pledged himself to give that
consideration in the event of his election.
: George P.'Eisman said that If' elected
he desired to work for the common good
of all concerned in the public school
question and that, whoever might be
elected, the board should have the sup
port of the community behind it.
MARTIX TAKES ISSUE j
James E. Martin took ' slight issue
with Judge Littlef ield In the order in
which the three cardinal units of consid
eration should stand in the mind of
the board. He said that the welfare
of the , pupils came first in his estima
tion, that of the teachers second. . while
the taxpayers came third. He was a
taxpayer himself, he said, and would
gladly! dig down to pay his share for
the cost of giving prior consideration
to the children and those , chosen to
teach them. : ;: ; V ....
William E. Klmsey. said he stood for
the upbuilding i of the schools, that he
bad children attending them, and as a
natural result was actuated only , by a
desire -to. give to all children the advan
tages he sought for his own.
Chairman Newill, who is also a school
director, pleaded for favorable action
on the three mill tax levy, contending
that the district owed- the children
$5,000,000 because of the fact that it
had spent nothing, on new buildings
during the' war and was that , much
behind, in. its building program. y

Governor Olcott,' calling attention to
the beauty of childhood and the in
alienable right of infancy to care and
protection, said: ' ;
"There may be somewhere "'some better
work being done. - some greater ' serv
ice being prformed. than the rearing
of infants who through unfortunate cir
cumstances have been left unshielded
and uncared for by their natural par
ents. If there is any better work or
more glorious service . than this It
eluded my observation.
PRAISES WORK ; ' , i:y.-'
"Whatsoever ye do unto the least of
mine, that do ye also unto me was the
injunction of the Man of Galilee. - Here
In this home are sheltered and protected
His little ones. Those who are per
forming this noble work ; those who by
their financial aid and moral assistance
have made it possible, all deserve the
warmest praise and commendation.
. "The work itself, is what counts the
most, and not the tools. But the able
workman may do his task twice as well
with the proper tools at hand.
"So in this new building those who
have been carrying on their labors under
more or leas adverse circumstances will
find a new impetus for their endeavors.
This building marks a great stride in
advance. Dedicated to service of the
highest type ; erected upon the firm
foundations of true charity ; clothed with
the divine sanctity of love. It is a mon
ument for all time. It is symbolical of
the warm heart of the public which has
responded to the cry of the. infant and
the weak and the distressed." ,

OFFICERS BELIEVE GARDNER
MAY KEEP OX GOING NORTH
If Roy G. Gardner, escaped federal
prisoner and mail train robber, uncon
sciously expressed his plan to elude the
posses after , his second sensational es
cape Saturday - when he said at the
Union station here Friday night,! "My
eompass always points north." then the
posses probably will find their , man
headed in the' direction of the . Aurora
ttorealis. - - ' :f ' , 1 '.-"
Ko . trace had been found Saturday
evening of Gardner or his partner; Nor
ria H. Pyron, "who escaped from Deputy
United States Marshal Thomas Mulhall
of San Francisco at Castlerock, Wash.,
about 2 o'clock Saturday morning,' after
handcuffing "Mulhall and his assistant.
D. W. Rinckel, together. ,
DISCUSSES ESCAPE
Both men were on their way to the
McNeil's island federal prison, which is
In Puget sound, near Tacoma. Gardner
was under ' sentence to ' serve two 25-
year terms for robbing the United States
mails, and Pyron was to serve 15! years
f0 counterfeiting. Both men were sen
tenced In California.' -. : j ;'
While passing through Portland Fri
day night the prisoners were visited in
their compartment by a few local federal
officials. Among them was Russell Bry
on, agent in charge of the department
of Justice i office In Portland under W.
R. Bryon, chief agent for the Northwest.
During the conversation, something
was mentioned about escaping, Bryon
said. Comment -was made that i when
Pyron escaped three years ago, j while
on his way to McNeils Island, he "squat
ted where he lit."
QARD5EE WOHE "BOOT -
One of the officers remarked that his
venture of staying still ultimately proved
a , failure, . which brought forth the re
mark that Gardner's "compass always
pointed, north." Gardner assented, to
this expression. . - ; -
' It is known by post off ice .officials that
Gardner "carried out this plan when he
escaped here " June 7, 1920, as on the
following June 16 ' it is known that he
was in . Vancouver, B. C, - and that he
contemplated making, his way to Aus
tralia. : Whether or not he everi made
the trip to Australia . was not learned
during the Interview.1. ;' -
Bryon Is. at a loss to understand how
the men escaped from their guards.
"Both men were heavily ironed; when
I saw them." he said. "They were hand J
cuffed together with good handcuffs and
Gardner - was wearing the largest ' Ore
gon boot ,r I ever saw." - !
JUMPED FHOM VFIHDOW I
Bryon said Gardner conversed with
him freely, and did not object to telling
how he escaped the first time. Gardner
told how he overpowered Deputy United
States Marshal W. ... E. Kavanaugh of
Los Angeles and guard and, after secur
ing their weapons and handcuffing them
together, stole about S220.
"I ' jumped out of the window and
hung on to the side of the train long
enough to get my ' bearings," Gardner
said, according to Bryon. "I knew the
train was near the depot and did not
want to take-a chance of falling in the
riven. ...-When I saw everything was clear
L-dropped. - .-
"I had no more-, than hit the ground
when the' Chinaman came sprawling on
top of me, and planted one of his heels
in my eye.. I had a black and blue eye
for several days . afterward. 1 1
"The Chinaman went limping and yell
ing around for a while. I never did
know what became of him. X followed
the train across the bridge."
STOLE MOTORCYCLE ; i
Continuing his story. Gardner Is said
to have stated he stole a motorcycle he
found and made his getaway. Bryon
did not ascertain where he hid himself.
It is considered quite, probable now that
Gardner desired to conceal the location
of this place as a place of refuge today.
The Chinaman. Tom Wing, also a
prisoner escaped with Gardner i after
assisting him in handcuffing the mar
shal and guard. Tom broke his leg in
the jump and was captured the following
day and taken to the Island prison. " -
Officials' here differ in their opinions
as to whether Pryon and Gardner will
stay together. William McSwain, - in
charge' of the local secret service, be
lieves they .will separate. . -i
"The two men are different types of
criminals and cannot work together,"
