POLITICIANS WATCH
FIRST CONVENTION
OF WOMAN VOTERS
Portland, Ore.ov. 5. Women vot
ers of the state of Oregon are meet
ing here today with Mrs. Cfarrie Chap
man Catt, president of the National
Equal Suffrage association.
Mrs. Catt came here to form an
Oregon branch of the National Lea
gue of Women Voters. Her call stated
the purpose of the organization as
"the co-ordination of the activities of
women citizens."
Many of the Oregon women who
have taken a leading part in feminine
activities in the . past, responded to
Mrs. Catt's call with considerable re
luctance, seeing in the "co-ordination
of the activities xf women citizens"
something that is limitless in its scope
and political in sound. They are afraid
the real object of the organization is
the formulation of a political "one
big union" of women voters.
Bo the meeting, which is being held
this afternoon, may be a rather lively
affair .All the interest Isn't on the
Inside either. Some of the political
leaders among them men, on the out
side, are anxiously awaiting news of
what's going on inside.
I
CONFERENCE CALLED
What is expected to be the most
influential gathering of clergy and
laymen of the Episcopal church ever
held in Portland has been called for
next Wednesday, Nov. 12th, by Bish
op Sumner in Portland, when plans
for conducting the great nation wide
campaign of the church will be dis
cussed. Invitations have been sent out by
telegraph to. all local leaders of the
campaign.
Bishop Sumner and other Oregon
delegates to the campaign will tell
of the remarkable general convention
at Detroit, said to be the most notable
in the history of the church, at which
three days were devoted to the cam
paign. V I
The Portland session will lay plans
for the great spiritual effort of the
church, which is in no sense a money
drive, but by which it is intended
that the church shall take on new
growth, and find herself for the work
in the new era following the war.
IRVINE MAY BE KEPT
OUT OF PACIFIC FRAV
The Bearcats Indulged in some
healthy scrimmage Tuesday afternoon
which toned the squad up a bit with
out making any more cripples. Before
scrimmage, the squad split into two
sections and used fifteen minutes
running signals. Cripples Irvine, To
ble, Brown, Thomas were out in uni
form but not in action. Quarterback
Irvine is not likely to be in against
Pacific Saturday, since his "Charley
horse" has been paining him ever
since the warwhoop of November 1.
Oanzane will probably take the pilot
position. Tobie and Brown are im
proving and may get to mix the mus
tard with "P. U." Thomas may also
leave the invalid class before that
time. Tackle Roes Miles will not be
in, as the "Doc" made another incis
ion in his Infected foot Tuesday.
CLEANING A COMB
Instead of washing combs, clean by
brushing and pulling a piece of cotton
through the teeth, always changing it
as it gets soiled; then rub with a clean
cloth.
