Miss Mayerhofer is a singer of the Jennie Lind "nightingale" type, and bo thrilled an audience of more than 3000 people that she was. called "back again and again. The -Tyrolean Alpine Singers, consisting of four dashing young mountaineers, three dainty peas ant lasses and Miss Mayerhofer, held "full sway at the Chautauqua. All were in the peasant garb of the Tyroleans, sang native songs and played native Instruments. And their yodeling: characteristic of the Swiss mountain eers was most beautiful. It was. the largest audience present so far this cession. It was in the rendition of the native aria, "My Home," that Miss Mayerhofer was at her best. Quietly slipping out of the auditorium, she joined in the song from a point pver 100 yards away from the massive building, concealed In a mass of oak shrubbery. The ef fect was beautiful Dr. Hinson, of- Portland, In his morn ing talk, attacked the divorce system of the country.

"He who breathes best, lives best," said Miss Grace Lamkin at her round table talk to mothers this afternoon. "We must make good citizens of the boys and girls by uniting strong bodies, strong minds and strong characters. We .can do this only by giving them plenty of fresh air, good wholesome nourishment, stirring games, and plenty of sunshine. The physical train ing that we should give them must in clude practical lessons in hygiene, with rest and recreative periods. We need more womanly women and more manly men; more who want to gain renown in health as well as mental renown; more who think of face and form and car riage as portraying culture of soul in stead of awkwardness." Miss Lamkin's work is attracting wide attention. Almost 1000 persons are camped on the grounds, and about 250 tents are up. It seems to be a sort of a college year, for aside from the large repre sentation of Oregon educational insti tutions, Dr. Homan, president of Wil lamette University, is on the grounds rom morning until night, in his role of platform manager.

HEW COMMISSION ' FACING HANDICAP Late Administration Left Few Funds With Which to Conduct Business. UNPAID BALANCES REMAIN More Than Half of Year's Funds Ex pended During First Six Months and Much of Cash Left Is Covered- by Contracts. The financial difficulties under which the new City Commission will be re quired to work until January 1, 1914, at least, are shown in the semi-annual re port of City AudnitOr Barbur, complet ed and sent to the administrative and legislative body yesterday. The report Blows the amounts expended during the first half of this year by the old administration and the balance in the various funds for expenditure during the six months of the new administra tion. It is shown that during the first six months, in the majority of cases, more than half of the year's fund was ex pended, leaving the small end of the fund to be used by the new adminis tration. In addition to the balance shown there must be deducted from several of the funds amounts which have been contracted for and which will have to be paid but which are not shown in the balances made June 30. These items are not shown, because warrants have not been Issued for their payment. in the general fund which receives all the city revenue from licenses and other sources, excepting taxes, it is shown that there ' was a balance on June 30, of $343,194.97. Warrants against this fund aggregating $52,918.36 are outstanding, leaving a balance in the fund of $290,276.36 which amount practically has all been contracted for. Balance Next Year Unlikely. The expenditures out of this fund during the first six months of this year were $392,797.66 and a like sum will be necessary during the remaining' six months of the year. This will leave little or no balance at the end of the year whereas generally there is a bal ance in the fund of -from $100,000 to $300,000. The following table shows the stand ing of the funds with the expenditures for the first six months and the bal ance June 30, 1913, indicated: Expenses to Balance Fund June 30. June 30.

Contracts Cover Much Cash. From the balances in several of these funds must be taken amounts which have been expended by contract but for which payment has not been authorized. In this list will be large deductions from the park and boulevard fund and the police and fire funds par ticularly. The Commission Is handicapped by being unable to finance new city proj ects. The low tide of the city's funds, resulting from the expenditures dur ing the first six months of this year, will be felt not only between now and the first of the year but also next year because there will not be the usual balances of funds at the end of the year to apply to the funds for next year.
