THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 13, 1921 WIFE OF PORTLAND DOVGHXUT KING AS QUEEN OF GREAT MARDI GRAS BALL. ' HELD NATION'S OGRE For More Reasons Than One All Else Crowded Into Back on ground, Writes R. W. Clark. GRAIN AND MONEY NEEDED Is the Time for to Install a a Industrial Refuse Homes Opened, Progress of Education Ham pered; Instruction Started. 16 FAMINE CHINA I , - -v-i a&mgzrmmif- - The famine in China is crowding . all else into the background. It has seriously interfered with the progress of education, and attendance at poor ooys schools and Bible classes has fallen off. China needs more Krai and more money. Industrial refuge homes have been opened, where cloth tng .is made by refugee labor for Chinese who have pawired the clothes for food. Instruction fo women and girls in North China ha been started to teach them to mak ha:r nets, for which there is a read market in the treaty ports. This information is contained in letter received by H. W. Stone, gen -ral secretary of the Portland Youn Men s Christian association, from Robert W. Clack, in charge of the as eociation at Paotingfu, North China. "I know that as the people of America readjust themselves grad uaJly to peace conditions you are iiaving great new fields of opportun ity opened to you," wrote Mr. Clack. '"As for our opportunities out here, there is one awful fact that pushes all else in the background. That i the famine. We are now getting on forces pretty well organized to give relief, but what we need is grain and money and siiil more grain and money. Relief Workers Basjr. "There are three large interna tional organizations now working to raise funds and see that they are distributed where they will be admin dstered efficiently. There are the re lief societies of Pekin, Tientsin and (Shanghai. While they are indepen dent, there is a close co-operation be tween them, so that there is no com petition and overlapping. The great er part of the funds the government is trying to raise will probably be administered through these societies. "The whole affected area has been divided among a number of local committees, each affiliated with one of the large societies, but responsi ble for a definite area. These com mittees are made up by a union of the missions working in the field with the Chinese benevolent societies. Thus our Paotingfu union interna tional famine relief committee is made up of nine organizations: The two Protestant missions, the French Catholic mission, the Y. M. C. A., the Red Cross society and three local Chinese charitable societies and the Paotingfu Commercial club. 1 ,000,000 Face Starvation. "The field for which we are imme diately responsible consists of 12 counties, with an area of about 6000 square miles, and a population of about 2.500,000. of whom 1,000,000 will starve if we cannot get relief to them. And ours is only one, and not the worst, either, of more than a dozen of .such fields. "We have organized more than 150 centers from which we can distrib ute grain as fast as we can get it. Of these ,111 are schools where we teach and feed about 100 -pupils each, and 20 are soup kitchens feeding more than 10,000 each day In all. We have about a dozen orphanages tak ing care of children who are . aban doned by their parents, and are open ing three or more shelters to talcel care of girls who would otherwise be sold by their families. We have opened four industrial refuges where cloth and clothing are made by ref uge labor and clothe those who have pawned their clothes for food, and have opened 20 classes of about 100 each for teaching women and girls to make hair nets, for which there is a ready market in the treaty ports. This makes them - selfrsupportins after about one month's training. Grain Declared Needed. "This sounds quite imposing, but a comparison will show you that it only scratches the surface of the need. We have 500 tons of grain due this week from Manchuria, but we need 50,000 tons before the wheat harvest in June. "We are getting most of our funds through the Pekin international re lief society, but they cannot raise the money nearly as fast as it is needed. 2 understand that a campaign for funds is being started in America. Please remember us and do all you can to boost it along. "Though famine relief is our chief Interest at present, and though the missions are practically discontinu ing all their other work, our associa tion constituency of city men and oya is not so directly affected by th famine and we must keep up our work for them about as usual." 1t 1 MRS. KATHER1XE ROSE HOVT, MRS. KATIIERIXE ROSE HOYT RULES SAX PRAXCISCO FETE. Wife of ex-Doughnut King Here Is Winner for Ruler of Benefit Affair for Children. A .

"Resolved, that .n order to promote the object of this organization, it maintain an official magazine. "Resolved, that the immediate work of the organization shall be the re moval of the legal disab'lities of women." The "international government" re ferred to, it is explained, is the league of nations, the covenant of which, it is claimed, would deprive women of rights they have won in individual countries. The woman's "party ob jects particularly, leaders declare, to the clause of the league covenant which provides that where a people are voiing to determine their future nationality "option by husband will cover his wife. .

Mrs. Hoyt, who was formerly Miss Katherine Rose Platz, charming daughter of pioneer parents of the Rose City, won the honor or Deing queen of the fete with 51,223 votes to her credit. It was in 1909 that Mr. Hoyt sold cut his doughnut business to A. A. oover and went to Calirornia with rs. Hoyt. They had formerly lived at the corner of East Twenty-first and Multnomah streets in the Irving ton district, where Mr. Hoyt had erect ed a beautiful home. The story of the achievements of Mr. Hoyt, who in 15 years rose from the rank of an errand boy in a gro eery store to be one of the millionaires of the west, reads like fiction. He was born in 1885 in Portland. After leaving school he was employed by F. Dresser & Co.. grocers. He worked there for a year or so, when he sud denly decided to go into business for himself. He resigned and with a month's pay built his first doughnut factory, a wooden shack 12 feet square. There he made Boston brown bread and cookies which he peddled from house to house. Later he began the making of doughnuts. His busi ness grew rapidly and during the time of the Lewis and Clark fair he fur nished doughnuts to practically all of the concessions, outside restau rants and lunch counters, besides hotels and cafes. This was his first rung of the laaaer or success, no married Miss P!atz in 1907. Mrs. Hoyt was motoring through southern California when she heard that her frienda had placed her name as a candidate for the queen of the mardi gras. ried women have no control over their children. "The children's place of abode," the statement says, "can be fixed by their husbands and the women must vote where their husbands live a common law rule of domicile that is at the bottom of the statute forcing upon American women' who marry " for eigners the nationality of their husbands."

Further Emancipation of Women to Be Sought. Women's Party Will Open Annual Convention In Washington, 1). C on Wednesday. WASHINGTON", D. C, Feb. 12. Efforts -to reach an. agreement on widely different plans to remove what are described as inequalities and discriminations still existing in many states against women, possibly through the creation of '-n entirely new national organization, will be made by the woman's party at its an nual convention which begins here Wednesday. Delegates declare that waile the main object for which the pirty was organized national woman suffrage has been attained the victory is not yet complete. Some leaders propose to continue todeperfd upon obtaining national legislation favorable to their cause by "hold'ng the party in power responsible," and arousing interest in women's legislation among the con stituents of members of .congress. Others propose more clearly defined political activities in the mates, while still others would enter the political arena direct with a full-fledged wom en's party. The executive committee, the ad visory council and the committee of state chairmen will submit the fol lowing resolutions concerning the fu ture programme: "Resolved, that the women here as sembled now consecrate themselves, the political freedom of women hav ing been won in the Un-ted States, to see that this freedom is not lost in any 'nternational government that is established and to work for the re moval of f.ll remaining forms of the subjection of women. "Resolved, that in order to carry out this programme the national Co-operative effort among churches will do more than any other one thing in furthering the religious movement, according to Dr. Herbert u. wiuett or Chicago, who arrived in Portland yesterday, and who will speak at the winter meeting of the Portland Federation of Churches at tne irst Methodist Episcopa. church, Twelfth and Taylor streets, at 7:45 o'clock tomorrow night. Dr. Willett was for two years nresi- dent of the Chicago Church federation, and is now the western representa tive of tl,e 32 denominations who are working together in the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. "The co-operative movement among cnurcnes IS taking many fortns, both In local areas and in the nation at large," said Dr. Willett yesterday. "Without loss of individuality or loy alty to any essential convictions, the churches are discovering that they can work more effectively together than separately in building up the kingdom of God. both in local com munities and throughout the world. "What is true in the community is also true in the larger areas of the nation."

FAIR STOCK IS RESERVED Frank Dayton Takes 20 Shares of 1 Hydro-Electric Issue. F. E. Beach, president of the Co lumbia HydroEIectric league has been asked to reserve 20 shares of stock in the 1925 exposition for Frank Dayton, secretary of the Lang Syne society, in a letter which he received from Mr. Dayton. Mr. Dayton said that he was able to subscribe for the $500 worth of stock as a result of the wave of pros perity which had struck him. largely, as he believed, as a result of the plans which were going forward for the exposition. "Only a few months ago I was struggling along with my two Port land properties trying to make them pay interest and expenses, he said. Today I am in the sunshine of pros perity and fee! like a new and younger man. And this is the interesting thing: I believe that you are largely the cause of this change in me. "My apartment house is rented at a profitable figure to first-class ten ants and yesterday I rented my down town hotel property for a five-year term to a reliable business man. This I tenant wanted the five-year lease be cause ot tne anticipated business up to and including the 1925 fair." 7 His Hearing Restorer. vThe invisible ear drum invented by A' 0 Leonard, which is a miniature megaphone,, fitting inside the ear en tirely out of sight, is restoring the hearing of hundreds of people in New York City Mr. Leonard invented this drum to relieve himself of deafness and head noiset. and it does this so successfully that no one could tell he is a deaf man.
