PORTLAND
Silver Thaw Cuts Off
City From Wire Com
munications Sunday
and Ties Up Traffic
:' Portland, Or., Nov. 21. Train
service eat of here was still tied
up this morning as a result ot
' heavy snowfall and Rlides and
work with enowplows was con
tinuing Along lines paralleling the
Columbia river where trains had
been stalled yesterday.
. Warm wind during the night
moiled Ice which bad encrusted
tres and wires in Portland ana vi
clnity. Heavy damage had been
done by the weight ot ice break
ing trees and wires.
Silver Thaw SuiJ
Portland was gripped yesterday
In the center of a silver thaw belt
which cut the city completely ofl
from all direct connections east-
' ward, paralysed telephone com
munication, blocked stretcar serv
ice, cut down high power and sec
ondary light wires and strewed
streets and lawns In outlying dls
trlcts with limbs, tree trunks and
telephone poles.
The silver thraw, coming at an
unprecedented season, took hold
with an Intensity that promised to
leave the city paralyzed and Iso
lated, until the sleet gave way tt
rain early last night. The won
der of the entire day was the min-
" Imum of accidents of all kinds. No
fatalities and no serious mishap
were reported up to nightfall.
Damaging Tie-up Avoided.
The coming of the storm on
unday, when practically every
ne could remain at home, saved
the city from a damaging tie-up
that would have been Inevitable
vn a business day.
Street car lines, which made the
early trips in comparatively safe
'ty, met trouble by 6:30 or. 7 si. m
when the s,torm apparently broke
n Portland. Ice-encrusted trol
ley wires which slowed down tral
fie wre lso0n' followed by break
Ing trolley wires, falling poles and
,tree limbs. The Montavllla, Mount
Tabor and Rose City lines on their
astern extremities were hard hit.
The cold east.wlnd, sweeping down
the Columbia, locked the Inter
state bridge in an ice sheet that
bumpered Vancouver streetcar
traffic the enlre' day. Service
was restored to near normal on a
majority of lines by mid-after-Boon.

Eastern Rail Traffio Halts.
During the day and on through
the night the city was Isolated
from all direct eastern connections
by rail or wire. Traffic to the
eastward over the O.-W. R. & N.
was completely Interrupted, with
eight trains stalled between here
and The Dalles.
Three tralnB between Portland
and Eagle Creek could move nelth
r direction because of snowslides.
Heavy rainfall In the U'illuin
ette valley caused streams to rise.
Eastern Oregon was under a
blanket ot snow four Inches to two
feet in depth. Snow drifts and
slides blocked railroad track and
highways.
Scores ot automobiles over
whelmed by snow were stalled
along the Columbia river highway

Anti-Suicide Club
Formed In Budapest
By Newton C. Parke.
Paris, Nov. 21. Shocked by the
increasing number of suicides in
But'ipest, one of the gayest capi
tals ot the world before the war,
a group ot six weatthy young men
for a living, told one of her friends
that she was going to kill herself.
The Anti-Suicide club informed
the police. The woman was watch
ed and dragged from the river Just
In time. Feinsilber took her to
have, formed an "Anti-Suicide! nls vlua' "e oougni ner new
cinh." whnsn nhin-i nut nnt. lciotnes, paia ner rent ana ar-

This peculiar bird Ib an East Indian bornblll and bears the. distinc
tion of Just having completed a journey of more than ten thousand
miles and Is the only one of its kind In captivity in the United States.
"Jim," as he will henceforth be known, Is now domiciled at thto Cin
cinnati Zoological Gardens, where he Is carefully guarded from wintry
winds and. cold, conditions which are not at all good for his tropical
constitution. To make it possible for you to look upn his picture here,
Jim's panenjts had a hard time bringing bim Into the world. His
mother sat for three weeks upon the egg from which he was hatched.
After she had laid this egg and three others in a hollow tree the
father plastered up the entrance to the nest with mud, leaving only
a small hole through which he could feed the mother wniie setting
on the eggs and for two weeks jnore while the young birds grew up.
This is the precaution these birds take against monkeys discovering
the nest and killing the mother, destroying the eggs and young birds.
After the young are two weeks old the hard-baked mud is pecked
rwy by the V"rent birds, and; the young leave the nest and are
guarded closely by the old birds for a week longer, when they are
ready to take chances and shift for themselves. Their food consists of
vegetation and small reptiles. They grow to the size of a vulture.
Their long, powerful bill Is a dangerous weapon and makes the bird
a hard one to capture,
dependents of those who end their
own lives in despair.
They work absolutely without
salary and pay all the expenses of
the organization themselves. The
police are In close collaboration
with the club and declare that
scores of lives undoubtedly have
oeen saved Dy youtns who were
once some of Budapest's gayest
spenders.
Robert Feinsilber is the founder
and president of the club. ' All
Budapest's miserables know him
Uncle Robert" and hack of the
creation of the organization Is the
story of his experiences in Russia,
where he was sent as a boy to
study the works of Tolstoi.
In his class of forty students in
Russia Feinslber found twenty-six
youths who were determined to
end their lives. Some of thein had
made several attempts. .Disheart
ened at his experiences he return
ranged violin lessons, so that to
day she earns a decent living for
herself and her invalid husband.
A baroness, once very wealthy,
began selling ber costumes, one
by one, to buy bread, One of her
neighbors suspected that she plan
ned suicide and wrote Feinsilber
an anonymous letter. "Uncle
Robert" had the gas cut off in her
apartment, and the police brought
her to his villa. She confessed
her Intentions and, through Fein
silber's efforts, was put in touch
with former friends, who are car-j
ing for her.
Another villa for the care or
children of suicides was Felnsil
ber'B next move. He has followed
that by establishing a central or
ganization, to which he Invites
wealthy residents of Budapest to
bring clothing and provisions for
those in misery.
