Mrs. Frank Spencer is entertaining members of tho art club this evening in her home, 2S7 North Thirteenth street. Of interest to Salem members and to those who are contemplating join ing tho P. E. 0. sisterhood, will be the following items compiled for publica tion. The sisterhood was founded Janu ary twentieth, eighteen sixty-nine, by seven girls, who were that year grad uated from Wesloynn University, Mount Pleasant, Towa. Its original purpose was a tie be tween the girls to bind them together. Tho original seven scattered through out tho country and married, and with tho years their love for the sisterhood increased and they organized chapters in their home towns, In turn theso have Increased, until today thoro are in the United States and British Columbia five hundred chapters, with a total membership of fourteen thousand. Throe members of tho original sev en are Mrs. Maat, of Aurora, Illinois; Mrs. Frauk Rhodes Elliott, of Los Angeles, California, and Mrs. Mary Al len Stafford, of Griniiell, Iowa. Chap ter 0, in this city, holds a membership of thirteen, with Mrs. B. J. Miles president. Mrs. Miles, who is first vice-president of the grand chapter in Portland, which was organized in nineteen elev en, became a member of the sister hood in eightoen seventy-nine, joining in Mount Pleasant, where the organi zation originated. The five pointed star is emblem of the order, each of the points indicat ing one of the cardinal points of the sisterhood. A littlo gold star bearing tho letters "P. E. 0." In black enamel comprises tho pin of the order. Originally membership was limited to clubwomen, but now this stipula tion has been romoved; the rules for admission are quite rigid. All candi dates must be invited to join, they must bo vouched for by at least five memberB of the chapter, and they must be accepted by a unanimous vote. Meetings are hold twieo a mouth at tho homes of the members, and at these meetings thoro are programs us ually along linos of current interest. The meetings closo with a social half hour and the serving of light refresh ments. Tho biggest a'nd most comprehensible thing the sisterhood does is its schol arship loan fund. The funds are not a charity. The money is not given the girls, nor is it loaned usually without interest. Applicants need not be P. E. O. members. Not more than four hun dred dollars is loaned to any one girl, and tho loans are made for a period not to exceed five years, and a girl may have nine years to repay tho loan. Sixty nino girls are on tho list of the organization, representing eighteen thousnnd dollars in loans. Two thous and more has been nsked for, and the applications are under consideration. During the past year girls have paid back in principal and interest almost thousand dollars. Teaching nnd nursing are the pro fessions for which most of the girls are training themselves. Oregon has eight chapters, the Portland chapters being A, C, F and E, and those outside the city beieng in Salem, Forest Grove and Elgin. Eugene already has Its dispensation nnd will be given Its chnr tor at the niinuul meeting to bo held in Portland May nineteenth to twenty first.

ALWAYS MAKE GOOD PREST-O-LITE SERVICE THIS MOTORCYCLE IS VERY POPULAR The Excelsior is claimed to be the fastest motorcycle in tho world, and Morse & Ramsden, the Salem agents, at "11 South High street, aro ready to make demonstrations with a 1013 model of this famous "chug bike." Excelsior autocycles for 1B13 follow the samo general lines which have marked thoir remarkable success since their appearance six years ago. Many small refinement's and several radical improvements for 1013 again clinched Excelsior superiority. Four modols will be built a powerful seven to ton horse power twin and a four to five horse power single, choice of belt or chain transmission on either. Changes in timing and valve design of the already famous Excelsior mo tor have increased its power and speed beyond that of any motorcycle motor ever built. The 1013 twin motors show over ton actual horsepowor by dynom etor test singlos over five. The piston displacement has not been enlarged to obtain thin remarkable power and Ex celsior autocycles can compete In all regularly sanctioned meets, An important new feature is the Ex celsior clutch control, operated by the left grip. The throttle and valve lift remain on the right grip, with a spark advance on the side of the tank. The rider has complete control of tho whole machine without taking his hands off the handle bars, a factor which cannot be overestimated on sandy roads and sllppeiy pavements. As in previous years, the Excelsior control is made up of strong steel rods throughout, without the use of any wires or enclosed members. The clutch is designed so that it can be locked in or out by merely turning the handlobar grip over center la either direction. The capacity of the big Excelsior has been further Increased to make pos sible the production of 25,000 machines for the 1013 season. More enameling ovens, a whole new nickeling equip ment and many new machine tools in sure the finish and durability of the machine. The 1013 Excelsior has a heavier cop per tank, with seams on top only, an improved Excelsior clutch, a more elas tic, spring seat post, stronger spring fork with ample tire clearance. The 1013 models are now ready for delivery and with the many Improvements will satisfy the taste of the most discrim inating rider. Portland capitalists have purchased scvoral farms near Springfield recently. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S O A ST OR 1 A The new grip con trol of the clutch is the sensation of the season 1
