UNCLE SAM BUSY NARROWING HIS OFFICE FORCES One of Biggest Moves Is Con- solidation of Army and Navy Departments U nder One Officer 'Keep Moving Tyler's Motto t ft . Traffic Officer Smiles, Too By John X. Gelsaaer . United News Staft Correspondent. Washington, July 16. Consolidation of the army and navy department into a new department of national defense, it has been virtually decided, will be one change to be recommended by the Joint committee on executive reorganisation. The consolidation is included in a ten tative scheme for reorganizing the administrative machinery, which shortly will come before the committee for ap proval, and thereafter will be submitted te President Harding. It la said to have the sanction of most of the members of the committee. It contemplates putting every matter pertaining to national defense under the direction of a single cabinet officer. In the Interests of economy and efficiency, JOB FOB ONE MAM This cabinet officer would have under htm two under secretaries, one to be the ; administrative officer for the hvnd force and the other for the navy. The committee also is expected to urge the creation of a department of public welfare, which has bees ashed by President Harding, linder which would be segregated all welfare activities, which are now scattered through the ether departments. The public health ; . Set vice, the war risk bureau, the bureau of Indian affairs, the pension bureau and various bureaus of the labor department would be some of the important units under this department Among the ether Important changes contemplated are these: m Consolidation of alt government agen cies engaged In public works under the department of interior and re-allocation of the hodgepodge of bureaus now nuking up at the department OTHKR CHANGES L'RGED Establishment of a central purchasing I and sales office, through which all gov ernment purchases and sales would be made. Removal and consolidation of the var ious government police forces to the department of justice, including the pro hidition unit of the internal revenue bureau. Replacing as many as possible of the 44 independent units under a single bureau. The committee is now at work on this problem, which is exceedingly difficult because of the opposition to changes from the bureaus themselves. fBa y fS'mS Bl SSL ..

Far greater of scope is the program carried out in preventive work against the invasion of plague and pestilence, both from foreign and domestic sources. Ships from foreign countries have to be fumigated, immigrants inspected and given a clean bill of health, measures taken to prevent the spread of bubonic plague by the rat and other diseas carried by Insects, rehabilitation work among the service men and care of mar iners Injured in the performance of their duty, must all be carried on as part and parcel of the years program. BTOBB FACILITIES SEEDID Philippines Youth Studies Physics to Take Forestry Post W. A. Tyler, traffic officer, who Is lord of all he surveys at Front and Madison streets during the rush boors, and a smiling one at that. University of Oregon, Eugene, July If. In order to hasten the completion of his forestry course at the University of Washington, Florenclo Tamesis of Manila, P. I., is taking a course in phy sics in the University of Oregon, summer term. Tamesis was in the government forest service in the Philippines and re connection with his work there received an appointment to take a forestry coarse in the United States, He has attended the Seattle school for two years and expects to finish next year. Lumbering is an important Industry In the Philippines, according to Tamesis There are about 100 saw mills . in the country with daily capacities ranging up to 100,000 board feet. Modern equipment Is largely used and logging operations are conducted much as in the Pacific Northwest, although conditions are necessarily different, he says. Most of the timber is on the uplands of the islands. There is very little fire hazards in the forests on account of the dense green underbrush and the fact that the trees are green all year. Frequent rainfall also helps keep fires down, he says. At the end of the summer term Tame sis will visit several of the national for est reserves and will observe forestry work in them. As soon as he completes his education he expects to make a trip to Washington, D. C, and then return to the Philippines to engage again In gov ernment forestry work. 'Keep Moving." This Is the principle upon which W. A. Tyler, traffic officer at Front and Madison Streets directs an unbroken flow of traffic In and out of the west approach to the Hawthorne bridge. Should a break in the procession impend, his cheery "Fill it up," does the business. That his theory is the correct one is attested by the smoothness of the course of traffic. There is no un necessary interruption, no collision, no arguing or argument over right of way. Everybody swings into line ss Tyler signals and the procession continues without a break and with out friction. SMILE DISAKMS GROrCH And above all Officer Tyler has a rare personality which makes It pleasure to watch and follow his directions. His ever smiling face disarmes all re sentment as he holds up his hand to top or go ahead. "Come on, come on. he says "Get out of the way, -Step on her." And thsnr eet out of the wav. after , r - a zT-'Mm fan exchanger pleasantry. An interurban train cornea along Front street Tyler holds up his hand. Traffic across the street stops.

An empty crate falls off a truck wagon driven by a Chinese. Tyler steps out and picks it up and throws it back on the wagon with a smile. GIVES HELPFUL HIHTS Abumptious or unskilled driver com mits a slight infection of the traffic rule. Tyler does not stop him and "bawl him out,' but motions for him to get out of the way and thus "keeps them moving." Those who cross the intersection more than once are personally aquainted with Tyler and when the flowers bloom he Is seen In the morning with a single rose which by night has developed into a bouquet Since the closing of the Morrison street bridge to traffic the travel across Hawthorne bridge has more than doubl ed and in the morning ahd evening it is heavily congested at the approach to the bridge. During the heavy hours Officer O. Lv Smith is detailed to assist Tyler. Employes' Dispute With Koads to Go Before Board Again Chicago, July 16. (I. K. a) Working rules and conditions of employes of the railroads will come before the United States Railway Labor board in the near future for a new adjudication. The Chicago Alton is the first of the big roads to refer its case back to the labor board. After six weeks of negotiation between the railway and its employes no agreement has been reached and the board has been asked to adjust the dispute. The chief points of disagreement were over the eight-hour day, which the board has indorsed, and on the question of overtime. The employee of the Alton refuse to accept a nine or 10-hour day, which they declare is in effect the proposition of the road. There' are also a' number of minor points in controversy. Other roads are expected to follow the Alton. Several roads are reported to have reached agreement with their men on the main points involved, but will ask the labor board to aid in the adjustment of minor details. Magazines to Ask Old Clothing for European Peoples An appeal for old clothing for the d Utute peoples of Central and Eastern Europe will be made jointly by the America Friends Service committee and the American Red Cross during the months of July and August through all magazine of the Curtis Publishing com pany, the Saturday evening Post the Country Gentleman and the Ladles Home Journal. Warm clothing that can be remodeled should be sent to the Portland chapter of the American Red Cross.

The increase of shipping and the greater number of service men be coming disabled has so increased the work that more facilities are needed. A greater staff of physicians and a new hospital are needed, the doctors point out The completion of the Hahnemann h pital will relieve the situation as far as quarters go and with it will come an Increased staff, he stated. The new hos pital is now in the stage of construction and from the information obtained at the contractors will be ready for equipment about August first With the structural work done the outfitting will take e month, so It will be the first of September before the institution will be available for use.

ARTIFICIAL LIMBS FITTED While not Included In the report the rutins- of artificial limbs has been one ox th features of the year's work.

Everything from an arch support to an arm is available for those needing it More than 125 have been fitted out during the year aurnm In lured while in port Or brought in from sea are taken care of by the service.

Dr. Wayson stated, tor with the Increase in shipping, the ships from unsanitary ports are bound to come Sere. Upon arrival at the mouth of the Columbia the ships are fumigated by the quarantineofficer. But a little of this work is done in Portland. Only seven ships "got by" Astoria and had to be fumigated here. War Is waged against rats and other vermin that are apt to carry disease Precautions against their lanoing Reaction. Awaited On Bonus Delay WASHINGTON. Jury If. (WASH INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR NAL) Secretary of the Treasury Mot ion's letter against the soldier bonus bill, followed the next day by Prist Beet Harding's visit to the capitol ant per sonal appeal that the bill be delayed. caused perhaps the biggest sensation of the present administration. Washington Is still waiting to estimate the effect it may have upon the osentrj. For one thing, the president directly emulated his predtiosssor In going to the capitol to confer with members of the senate. In the Wilson days such visits were seised upon by his enemies ss sn evidence of presidential meddling and dictatorship. "Let him stay at his ewa end of Pennsylvania avenue and not come down hers to tell the senate what to do," was a not uncommon expression. This following In the footsteps of Wil son, significant as It may be. Is not what attracts most attention, however.

They want to follow the president, as a rule, and likewise they do sot wish to offend the former service men. who on so many occasions have manifested tan- patience at the delay In considering legislation more or less deOnltory prom teed. Not all of them are convinced by Mr. Motion's arguments that the bonus bill would have such direful financial consequences as he has indicated. They have not failed to note, for one thing, that on the heels of announce ment that the administration views the present passage of the bonus bin with alarm. Secretary Mellon issued another announcement that he is negotiating for the advancement of half a billion dollars to the railroads to enable them to hasten repairs on rolling stock, though the railroads have lately been reporting a large excess In some Quarters the headlines on these developments have censed a pain ful effect The advance to the rail roads and the news of the president's drive against action on the bonus bill were blazoned the same dsy In the newspapers. Typical headliners are those of the Philadelphia Enquirer, a staunch Republican organ, which displayed dour ble. column type of the Washington hap penings this way: "President appears at capitol to ask bonus bin delay.
