vey of business conditions in the North
and Middle West, during which he held
a conference with some of the leading
business men of those sections. He found
that general business was being slowed
down, because each corporation desired
to economize in every possible way: that
road building was being discontinued by
counties and municipalities; that savings
were being withdrawn from banks by in
dividuals; that persons have begun to
hoard food supplies, and that thousands
of workmen have already been thrown
out of employment through the closure
of a large number OF factories.
After nearly three years of refusal
to take the European war and its lesson
seriously. We suddenly launched forth in
most feverish activity to save the
country over night" he said.
Patriotic organizations almost without
number are milling around noisily, ana
while intentions are good. the results are
often far from practical.
General business is being slowed
down because OF the emotional response
Of the trading public to these misguided
campaigns for economy; savings are
being withdrawn from the hanks, and
thousands of workers are being thrown
needlessly out OF employment. All this is
wrong.
Unemployment and closed factories,
brought about through itful and ill-ad-
yised campaigns for public and private
economy, will prove a Yeritable founda-
ton of quicksand for the serious work
we have at hand.
Business depressioBs are always bad,
but doubly so when we have a fight on
our hands. The declaration of war can
have no real evil effect upon business.
Many firms are hesitating to close or

MASTERS OF PIANO
CHARM MUSIC LOVERS
Bauer and GabriIowitsch Give Two
Piano Recital.


The two-piano recital by Harold Bauer
and Ossip Gabrilowitsch at the New Ma
tional Theater yesterday afternoon was
most unusual event and Of exceptional
interest.
Both Of these artists, who are recog-
nlzed as among the foremost pianists of
the day, have often appeared before the
Washington public, but never has the
opportunity been afforded to hear these
masters of the piano in four-hand re-
citaL
The rendition OF the schumann "varia-
tions in B Flat" and the Reinecke I'm
provisation" on a theme from Manfred"
was marvellous in its systematic unison.
The Mozart Sonata In ID Major" fol-
lowed these numbers. The Saint-Saens
Variations" on a theme by Beethoven,
the trio from Beethoven Sonata Opus 81,
No. 3, was heroic in its technique. and
was the number par excellence OF the
program. Its execution was a notable eX-
ample of artistic perfection.
The "Arensky Romance" was charm
ing and the 'Valse" by the same COM
poser, afforded opportunity for the dis
play Of individual temperament. Each
artist in turn carried the beautiful mel
ody of the 'Yalse." while the other ex-
ecuted in individual style the wonderful
embellishments.
received by the audience which insisted
on It's repetition. This appreciation was
probably due to the individual reading of
each artist.
IL Is to be regretted that the program
should have closed with Chabrier's "Es-
pans, which was more noisy than mu-
steal and suggested the style of compo-
sitions adopted by vaudeville pianists
The audience, however, would not per-
nit the artists to retire even after re-
Ieated acknowledgment of applause at
the end Of the program. and the artists
rendered at one piano the Schubert-Tau-
sig Military March" arranged for four
hands.
On account OF the proximity of the play
ers before the piano, IL there is such a
thing as professional jealousy, it was
clearly not evident in the playing of this
composition. The jovial intimacy was
enjoyed alike by the performers and the
audience.
The gratitude OF Washington music
lovers is due T. Arthur Smith, who pre-

PATRIOTIC ROSE
FESTIVAL PLANNED

Representatives of the leading patri-
otic, civic and business organizations
of Portland are actively assisting in
the general canvass of Portland for
$25, 600, the amount necessary to stage
the 1917 rose festival which will be
held June l3, Ia and Is.
The decision to make the festival a
huge patriotic demonstration this year
has met with high commendation, and
such organizations as the Oregon Pat
riotic Service League, the Girls Honor
Guard, Spanish American war veterans
and the G. A. R. are giving it their
enthusiastic backing for this reason.
In this connection the festival board
has ordered the construction of the &c.
foot replica of the Statue of Liberty
that guards the entrance to New York
harbor and the copy will occupy the
center of the festival center and the
Court of Patriotism. 1t will be guard
ed by cannon whose missiles will be
showers of rose petals.
Miss Flora E. Breck, stenogra-
pher, was the winner of the festival
slogan this year. Her slogan which
will appear on festival posters is:
Flower gowned, forest bound, rose
crowned-POrtland.

Why Depression Comes
Hood River People Will Find that for
Every i'll There Is A Cause

Defiance of certain natural laws causes
business depression. Defiance of other
natural laws causes depression of mind
and body. Uric acid and kidney weak
ness are modern evil, produced by over
work, hustle, worry, excesses, meat eat
ing and careless living. Kidney dis
eases do great damage, usually before
they are discovered, so it is well to take
warning from kidney backache urinary
disorders, pains when STOPPING or lif.-
ing, dull headaches dizzy spells, rheu-
matte pains, etc. Neglect may pave the
way for some dangerous kidney trouble.
Doan's Kidney Pills are used in Just
such cases and recommended all over,
the civilized world. Hood River people
are well represented in this grand che-
rus of praise. Here's one of the Hood
River cases:
Mrs. NJ. A. Douglas, 1925 Seventh St.,
Hood River. says: ~ was more or less
subject to backache, and during that
trouble my kidneys were irregular in
action. l felt depressed and had no
ambition for anything. After l had
taken two boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills
| felt like a different person That
misery in my back stopped and my kid
neys haven't caused me any trouble

the right and went on.
The horse knew what the driver
said and obeyed like good soldier. as
he was. In all of his work in deliver

command to his horse just as drill

diers. ! watched him with a good
deal of interest until it came to be a
common thing.
We were kindly treated in the hos
pital and the bracing air of the north
soon gave new life to the soldiers. We
stayed in the hospital until about the
last of September, when we were dis
charged from the hospital and sent to
our respective regiments. We took
boat and went down the Mississippi
and up the Ohio and Tennessee to
Pittsburg landing. Then we took
wagons to Corinth, Miss, arriving
three days after the second battle of
Corinth.
When Gen. Price came to make the
attack the l4th Wisconsin was sent out
to meet and lead him in. The 14th

skirmishers to feel their way in. AS
soon as the skirmishers met ours fell
back, also the regiment, so as to bring
the rebels in where the batteries could
get in their work. The enemy came
solwly, pushing our skirmishers and

There was some sharp work done on
the skirmish line. We had one man

the gun to fire, but the rebel was toe
quick for him and fired first. The ball
struck the cone of Henry's ramrod and
divided the ball in three pieces. and

in the cone and the other two pieces

the rear of the store.
Those who have seen Mr.. Slocom the
past two or three weeks in spare min

carpenter was spoiled when he went
into the bookstore business. Mr.. Slo-
com built the new shelves of the big
book store and arranged new racks. -

magazines stationery pictures, type
writer supplies and Office sundries are
neatly arrayed, that is appealing to
the customer and at the same time an
