Mrs. Brewer and Miss Gertrude visited Portland Sat urday to attend the concert given by Josef Hoffman. The vocational nurses look quite natty in their new uniforms. Two uniforms for each nurse has just been completed. Mrs. Rosenberger and son Carter left Saturday for Tulalip where she will spend a month’s sick leave with her husband, who is employed at that school.

The anti-cigarette bill, just passed by the legislature of Oregon, makes it unlawful for boys under 21 years to smoke cigarettes, and a fine of $5 is provided for each offence. Dealers are also prohibited from selling to minors. The girls of Company D present a very attractive appearance in the new uniform dresses of blue serge, which were issued from the sewing department last week. This company seems to be especially favored, as a round of work dresses have also been finished for them. The 50,000-gallon concrete oil storage tank has been in use several months and is satisfactory in every re spect. An expert in cement visited the school recently and remarked that this tank would never leak oil, but would be available for use 50 years hence, or indefin itely. Seven large and strong mission settees and nine heavy mission chairs were sent out from the carpentry department this week to grace the sitting rooms of the pupils. The work on this lot of furniture was per formed altogether by the shop details and reflects credit on that department. The 37th anniversary of the founding of the Che mawa school, commemorated each year on February 25th, takes place this year on Sunday next. A pro gram has been prepared and will be given in the school auditorium in lieu of regular chapel exercises. Ad dresses will be given by various “ old timers,” as well as others. A particularly enjoyable function was given by the Alumni and ninth grade class in the gymnasium on Wednesday night after the society meeting. Many friends had accepted invitations, who, with the members of the organization, entered heartily into the spirit of pleasure and good will which predominated throughout the evening. Mr. John Brown’s orchestra supplied music for the occasion. Refreshments con sisting of several kinds of sandwiches, olives, pickles, various makes of cake, and coffee were served cafeteria style.

The place cards were unique with tiny American flags up right on each end. The table was beautiful in its floral decorations with the sparkling cut glass, bright silver and snowy linen. The favors consisted of a daintily printed menu card. The six-course dinner was prepared and served by Mrs. Hall’s girls, Marie Shaishnikoff and Julia Fratis. At the close of the dinner, Chemawa songs and yells were enthusiastically given and the gentlemen did not forget to give a rous ing cheer of appreciation for this exhibition of such splendid ability on part of the two young ladies in preparing and serving the dinner as well as to the hostess and host.
