To the Editor: As a member of the Com mercial club, may I state through the columns of your paper my belief that the club makes a serious mistake in limiting its meetings to one hotel, as proposed by yesterday's Tote. There is no reason why it should play any favorites. The Wright hotel has served the club well since the be ginning of the club luncheons sev eral years ago and its crowded con dition lost week, due to the presence of out of town people who were at tending the county court meeting, should not be held as a reason for leaving the hotel entirely. The Wright is a Bend institution and, I happen to know, a member of the club. Why not give it equal treat ment? A MEMBER. STARVATION FEAR BELIEVED DISEASE Psychological Ailment Combatted by German Physicians as a Re- KUsf of the War. , (Br United Press to the Bend Bulletin) AMSTERDAM, March 15. An art icle is being widely printed in Ger many dealing with the control of a sew "war disease," that German doc tors have to combat. Having met and defeated the old war diseases, cholera,, typhus, spotted fever and smallpox, they now face "psychology ' leal starvation." "This disease," says the article, is of a much more difficult character. as it is mental and Ib quickly spread from one sufferer to another. It is found, strangely enough, in peaceful countrysides where war's alarms have not penetrated.' "It is a fear of starvation and out of this fear rises a sort of psycholog ical hunger. This confusion of ideas is sometimes exciting, sometimes it is crippling, and robs one of courage and sense. "Fear of starving will cause many to make luxurious use of available supplies, to use all sorts of tricks in order to attempt to cover them selves with a reserve layer of fat for times of still greater scarcity. i "In thousands of letters, mostly written by women, the writers speak of nothing else but the fear of ulti mate starvation." lty II. Hamilton, i United Press Stalt Correspondent) NEW YORK, March 15. Jack Dil lon, erstwhile Indianapolis bourvut, niaukiller and holder of several san guinary titles, Is the most unfortun ate scrapper inhabiting the l ulled States. His refusal to battle Jim Klynn after ha had lost his chance to get on with Les Darcy, brought it out fully. When Dillon came to New York not a long time ago, Billy Mlske battled him for ten rounds and did a fairly good Job of it. Dillon scored heavily against the St. Paul false alarm, but ho was much surprised the next day to discover that nearly every newspaper In the city had come to the conclusion that Mlske had beaten him. Then Jack came back to New York and met Mlske again. He didn't make quite so good a showing, but he did well and easily held Miske to I a draw. However the critics again set it down as a victory for Mlske. Then Dillon got mad. He came to the conclusion that his former roughness had got 'him in bad. He had made such a habit of beating up his opponents that critics were un able to see his side of the bout when he failed to knock somebody down a few times when he appeared In a ring. So he got himself matched up with Al McCoy, as a prelude to his battling Darcy. He whipped McCoy so bad it was- a shame, but he was Incensed when he awakened the next morning and found himself criticised for not xnocKing Mct'oy out. In fact, two rounds of the scrap were credited to McCoy by more than one. McCoy took a beating that many a ueavyweignt would nave Mllen un der. He was hit plenty of times and he was hit hard. He deserved full credit for winning the bout just as .far as he did, but he didn't get it. Dillon says he won't fight again in New York. No one can censure him for such a decision. He was rapidly losing his -reputation when he decided to go back to Indiana. At the Movies , - . Ji (iriinil Theatre, Irving S. Cobb's sensational story, "The Dollar and tho Law," featuring the popular and well known Lillian Walker, of tho Vltagraph film world, will be seen tomorrow night and Fri day at tho Grand Theatre, The. story of tho play Is as follows: Lola llruudt, upon hor graduation from high school, desires to further continue her studies and enter col lege. She is not encouraged In her ambitions by her father, who Is a miser, but she finally decides to work, hor way through without Ills aid. Both Oeorgo Gray and Richard Denton are suitors tor her hand, and although Denton Is far more wealthy, Lola shows a marked prsforonce for George, and before she Is through college they are engaged. Meanwhile, a company has sprung up which invites people to pluce their earnings in a 20 per cent Investment, which many foolishly do. Denton becomes a member of tho firm, and together with the president, he con tinues to exploit tho fraudulent scheme. Amos Urandt, Loin's miserly futli er, makes hor a present of a dollar bill, us u reward for working her way through college, and this bill has many travels. One night Denton's liuulneMs Is In vestigated by tho postal authorities, and In order to save himself from the penitentiary, It becomes necessary for 'him to raise $100,000. While nt a nearby cafe, he learns of old llrandt's wealth quite accidentally, and Im mediately determines to use this means out of his .dlflcultles. While he is visiting nt tho house that evening a terrific thunder show er comes up which makes It neces sary for him to remain through the night. Coming upon tho miser when he Is counting his hoard, ho learns the secret hiding pluce, and Into that night, when ho bcllovcB all to ho sleeping, hu descends to tho library. Just as he Is about to extract tho money, Brandt appears, and a ter rific struggle ensues, In which tho old miser Is accidentally killed. In the morning when tho old butler who discovers tho body Is accused of the murder, Denton believes himself trued of all complications and re turns to his offlco, where ho Ib ar rested by the postul authorities for fraud.

Adv. on LILLIAN WALKER in "THE DOLLAR AND THE LAW MAKERS OF AUTOS ADVISED TO EXPAND (By United Press to the Bend Bulletin) WASHINGTON, D. C, March 15 Warning to American automobile manufacturers to enter the world market before the American market becomes "saturated," was voiced by Dr. Pratt, chief of the U. S. Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce today. , : "If the production of automobiles continues its present rate of in crease," Dr. Pratt warns, "and unless vital changes are effected, either in the consuming public or In the price oi automobiles, the 'saturation' point may not be far off. For the com mercial vehicle, however, develop ment has probably only begun in this country." ' American automobiles would have no difficulty in overcoming compe tition abroad, except possibly in the - higher priced cars above $1200 Pratt declares. European manufac turers, he said, are not equipped to turn out cars on the extensive and highly efficient basis in effect in the United States. EXTRAORDINARY PRECAUTIONS TAKEN WHEN PRESIDENT IS INAUGURATED CAN'T CLOSE SALOONS SO TRIES GROCERIES ' (Br United Press to the Bend Bulletin) BUENOS AIRES, March 16. Hav ing tried and failed to close the sa loons on Sunday,-the Buenos Aires city government is making a similar experiment with the grocery stores. The idea Is to give the clerks a day of rest each week. It is not a relig ious movement. Most grocery stores really do keep their front entrances hut,, which the saloons never did, but they do a tremendous side door trade. ' ,. - . .,, ' . . .

The roofs of build ings overlooking Pennsylvania avenue were guarded by plain clothes men. The roof of the capitol was similarly under surveillance. The men of the Sixty-ninth and Twelfth regiments, N. Y. N. O., lined Pennsylvania avenue from the capitol to the White House. Their gun were loaded. The state militiamen, backs to the crowds that lined the sidewalks, took their plaoes at 10 o'clock, an hour before the president U' h tt'hlti IfoitM fnr ths rids down Pennsylvania avenue to the senate cham ber. The guardsmen stood about twenty paces apart. Along the line of march and supporting the New York regiments In the taak of protecting the president from bodily harm were detectives from the central office of Washington and numerous policemen and special officers. The president literally rode to the capitol and back again through a lane of armed men. Members of the Blxty-nlnth and Twelfth regiments were In fighting trim. The service on the border had bronzed their faces. They were dressed In field uniforms of olive drab the lighting color of the army. Surrounding the president's carriage, drawn by fuur horses, were thirty-two se cret service men. Eight walked ahead of Ihe carriage, eight behind and eight on each side,. Supplementing these guards and formed In a hollow square outside the ranks of secret service men were troopers of the Second cavalry, stationed at Fort Myer. Fifteen troopers rude abrcaat at the head of the carriage and as many more immediately behind. A half dozen troopers In single file rode nearer the ourblng on each side of the president's carriage. Nearby, closely following the president, were twenty-tlvo plain clothes policemen from Wnahlngton and other cities. At street Intersections guardsmen were sta tioned to face tho crowd at the particular moment the president's carriage passed. Bpoclal guards with loaded rifles and au thoiity to act were station on the roofs of buildings overlooking the Una of march. That extraordinary precautions as ths guarding of roofs had been taken did not become generally known until the parade was actually formed,! .
