school Is one of the few schools in the
stale to serve free hot lunches, to the

the hearty cooperation of her teach

The school has enrolled over two
hundred children, eighty ot which

something warm at the noon hour.
They are siren all they want, some
taking as much three cups ot soao at
a meal.

lunch and the girls are delighted to
help serre.
The following menu is carried out
each week:
Monday cocoa; Tuesday, potato
soup or clara chowder; Wednesday,
bean soup; Thursday, vegetable soup;
Friday, beef and vegetable stew.
Those lunches are of the highest
grade such as you would make in yout
own home.
Willamette has an excellent effi
cient board of directors who are far
sighted and progressive enough to
spare nothing that will be ot benefit
to the children of Willamette,
Mrs. Snidow, Bert Barnes and Harry
Greaves consistute the board of dir

GERBER AND
FAMILY HAVE
CLOSE CALL
FORTIAND. Pec, Suddenly
roused at 45 minutes past midnight
Sunday by a volley of five shots from
the basement J. R- Gerbor, 871 Han
blet avenue his wife and two small
children discovered their home In
flames and escape cut off by way ot
the stairs leading to the lower floor-
Gerber quickly made a rope of sheets
and lowered his family and then him
self to safety from a bedroom window
on the second floor. The house,
which was destroyed by fire, was in
sured for J.aw, and was valued at
$14,000. The sheets came from shot
gun shells stored In a closet.
Terber formerly resided here, and
at one time was employed on the
Morning Enterprise.
FIRST REEF IS
HIT IN LEAGUE
DELIBERATIONS
GENEVA. Pec. 4. The Argentina
delegation withdrew from the league
assembly today. It was the first reef
struck during the three weeks de
liberation which had been going on
with reassuring smoothness until it
got Into a fog in the discussion of
amendments.
Independence shown by Honorio
Pnyrredon In voting against post
ponement of consideration of the
amendments and his breaking of ths
assembly's unanimity, with Senor Ve
lasque ot Paraguay supporting him,
were regarded as ominous of a stormy
session, but the Argentine delega
tion's extreme action In withdrawing
was unexpected
There were two currents ot opinion
this evening. One is that the direct
ing mlnda have too much neglected
the feelings ot the smaller powers and
have erred la opposing discussion ot
the amendments; the other lj that the
Argentine delegation has been to pre
cipitate Its action.
There is no inaication that the oth
er South American delegates will fol
low the example of Argentina; most
of them favor Pueyrredon's amend
ments, but will not go to the extent
of withdrawing If they are not taken
into consideration.
Dr. Octavlo. of Brazil said ha re
gretted that the Argentine delegation
had found It necessary to take such
radical action. He hoped the with
drawal would be only temporary.

TRADE DISCOUNT"
By X. Ray
Sometimes folks praise my poems, and my soul is sweetly stirred.
As I absorb with eager ears their words of compliment,
Till mournfully I reallr.o they scarcely meant a word
And sadly mark their praises down gome 9i"r,
Some say my merry witticisms have made them laugh and laugh,
And once more my pride, unbridled, soars up in swift ascent
To fall with dawning knowledge that they meant about a halt
So I give their words a discount of some 5!"-.
I'm told my work is clever and lt$ rhyme and rhymth good,
And I purr just like a kitten in unspeakable content;
I daren't dream they moan It all I only wish 1 could
So mark It down, haphazard-like, some 33ft.
But others bring me praises that are puny, weak and small.
And somewhat bent and crippled, as such weakllnga often are.
But heaven bless their thruthtui souls they really mean It all,
And heaven be thanked for compliments that one may take at PAR.
$ OPEN DOORS IN BUSINESS
MltUNERY.
Millinery, like dressmaking, will
probably never be an out-ot-date oc
cupation, unless, after years of evlu
tion, we stanjirise women's head
gear, as men's now are and hats cat.
be turned out in factories by the
thousands, all very much alike. This
does not seem likely to happen for a
long time, and for the girl of today,
millinery is a pleasant and If wtsely
managed, a profitable business.
A milliner earns from $10 to 112 a
wvek whlle She isi learning; more
when she becomes a trimmer, and
from $25 to foO when she becomes a
designer. Perhaps the be3t way to
become a milliner is to go to a mlllln
ery school for a year or two, but It
not able to afford that, a girl may
work in a millinery shop as errand
help a little about hats. It she shows
skill in this, she will be put to lining
nais ana covering irumfs. auu wrr quegtlon wilI nwke neural or
to trimming. ! non partisan for K,nerally one side Is
Formerly millinery was a seasonal higher morally, more wise from a
business. There were only summer ( buslneM polnt of T,ew , iafef, and bet
and winter hats, bought In the spring ;ter choosln(f tne omj whi,.h
and fall. But now straw hats begin j appeBli t0 U9 ag thlg we wl haT(?
to appear January ana veivei uaw
In August, and hats of various mater
ials are bought In all the months be
tween. Only a month or six weeks ot
summer Is the milliner's present va
cation. To own one's own shop Is the Ideal
or the milliner. To do this she must
not only be a skillful and tasty trim
mer, but must know how to make a
shop refined and pleasing appearing,
to meet people graciously and to fit
Individuals with hats appropriate to
their own style and character. If the
Milliner can manage well, suit her
hats to the women ot her locality and
conduct her shop with economy, she
may make her shop very profitable,
but she must have good Judgment
about the stock appropriate for her to
lay In, both Its quality and its quantity.
A millinery shop may be establish
ed anywhere, either In a big ctiy or a
small town. Hats are needed every-j
where; but before locating her shop
the milliner should assure herself that
the field is not overcrowded and that
she understands the type of women
who will be her customers.

Dress and High School.
Street styles have reached more or
less of a standard. The rich and the
poor may be distinguished somewhat
by the quality of their apparel, but
the design and general appearance Is
much the same- This is not tru-.
among girls in High School. A Stan
dard school dresn, within the reach of j
modest purses would help greatly to (
make education safe for democracy.
Siiw atncldnirs for every day, elabor-,
ate, filmy and Impractical gowns,
much Jewelry and expensive acces
sorles worn by some high school girls
make the hardshipei more serious for
many a poor girl than she is able to
endure. The result is that girls drop
out of high school before they have
finished the course; or if thy remain
in school either father or mother
assumes over burdens that th
daughter may be at ease wA ap
pear as the other girls do. Young
people are very sensitive and the
plucky girl who put's her pride In her
pocket and goes ahead in humble
clothes while her school mates prome
nade In over-dress bears sorrow we
would d") well to remove . A few high
school classes have by their own voti;
restricted themselves to simple and
sensible dress.
Here and Now.
Our best cause fo- Thanksgiving is
that, we are living here and now. In
no land under the sun is woman freer,
better treated, and more respected
than in America; and never did she
have larger opportunities, more equal
rewards, or rosier prospects than are
ours today.
Joy of the Job
There is something beautiful about
the love of it which the old tlm5
handcrafters put Into their work.
Have you heard of the woman who
worKed through a year weaving &
rug, and when it waa taken from the
loom to be sold, she broke down ano
wept because she had woven into it
so many happy thoughts that It seem
ed a part of her very life? The old
time cabinet make-a knew what this
meant, as well as the Indians making
their blankets, and the housewife
piecing her quilt. As we become tno
busy to embroider and tat and knit
and sew by hand will we lose some
thing of poise and gentleness and
thoughtlessness and happy contended-
1 cess of mind?

THE WOMAN CITIZEN.
!$!
Most women, in the recent cam
paign, have thrown themselves with
ardor and sincerity Into one or the
other of the two great political par
ties. So clear and conclusive did their
cause look to each that it w almost
a shock to discover people of equal
ardor, sincerity, and Intelligence ou
the opposite side. Which brings us
to consider that there AUK two Bides
to every question not simply oar
side and the wrong side but two
sides with possibly some sense and
some fallacy on each side-
If we would make the world "states
manly" a generic and not a masculine
term, we would do well to stud care
fully both sides of governmental
questions. Between campaigns Is a
good time for unprejudiced study and
our public libraries contain useful
books on political science and social
welfare.
LooKing at Doth sides of every
ample cause for belonging to our
side! We will be respected for Intelli
gent sincerity in it, and we will be
Influential In drawing others to that
stele sJnce we can give them good
reasons why they should Join us. We
will, however, see that there Is an
other side and we will have a broad
tolerance for and klndllnsa toward
thane whone trend of thought has
brought them to the other side.
SMILES.
There was a new baby at home, and
Uncle asked of little Johnnie:
"Well, Johnnie, how do you like
your little baby .isfer?"
"I don't like her at all. I wanted
a little brother."
"Well, that's too bad," reolr.ed the
uncle. "Why don't you exchangs her
for a brother?"
Weeplngly Johnnie replied:
"I can't. We've used her three days
alrady."
PLAY.
"The boy without a playground Is
father of the man without a Job."
Play is not a luxury. It Is a necessi
ty. A child will not grow up woll
developed, physically, mentally or
morally without It.
Just what Is play la a matter hard
for some adults to understand. It
may look hard, may consist in strain
and dlflculty, and be a very odious
proceedure for one who Is out of
sympathy with it. For Instance, m
two smallest kiddles amused them
selves for an hour or more one time
climbing to the top of a Morris chair
and sliding down head first, turning
a summer-set enroute, and rolling off
on the floor safely- There was a
great deal of grunting and squealing
during the strain of it, but neverthe
loss It was play to them, because they
"did it for fun." Th spirit you put
Into anything determines whether or
not It Is play. If you love It and
"would rather do it than, eat," and It
reeds you and takes your mind off
your ordinary occupations and trou
bles and lifts you into the Ideal and
beautiful In mind and so refreshes
your spirit that you feel full ot pep
and Jollity afterwards, then it is play.
Two little sisters were "playing"
together and quarreling and not
having a good time. One suggested,
"Iet's play we were sisters." After
that everything went smoothly. They
left the work-a-day sphe-e ana enter
ed the ideal. My children were wip
ing dishs. It was drudgery! 1 said
"Play I put these treasures into this
pan and some fairies came and stole
them away and I was surprised and
didn't know what happened to them."
The dishes began to disappear from
the drain nan like magic, with
laughter bubbling out during the
whole process; It was such fun to
witness my astonishment to find my
"treasures" gone. In a hurry and
with a shade of disappointment we
soon all diHeovered that the dishes
were done.
Children never "get up stream" and
tug and stretch their muscles unless
their motives are lighted up by the
Imagination or reaching up to some
happy Ideal as In play.
For every member of the family,
each task may be arduous or merry
according to whether we do It from
the depressing motive "duty" or that
delightful one "pleasure."

THE CUP THAT CHEERS.
What Is more cheering than, to
come in out of the cold and amidl good
coffee? Coffee is an aid in digestion
and U stimulating. It contains cat
foln and tannin,, but, made correctly,
these should not be present In large
amount In the beverage-
Coffee waa originally grown In Afri
ca and Arabia, was later Introducud
into East and West Indies, and trop
ical America. U U estimated that Urn
rll produces over half of the world's
supply ot coffee, and that America
consumes nearly throe-fourth a of It.
The coffee plant , U an evergreon
with white flowers. The fruit Is like
a smaii cnorry in sie ami color. The
folcihy part Is rmluced to a pulp and
removed by a stream of water. The
berry U then cleaned nl dried, grad
ed by a series of Hives; and then
roasted. By roasting It becomes bit-
tie and develops flavor.
Coffee retain Its flavor bettor If
ground Just before using. It Is alo
less liable to bo adulterated It bought
in tho bean form. Chicory, beans
pea and cereals are often used a
adulterants. These urn less harmful
than the coffee and make loss expens
ive brands which, If roUaned. are m
wisely used. Coffee should be kept In
air tight cans to retain the flavor.
Tho tdal In making coffve la to
extract the flavor, the oils and some
of the raffotn, without getting the
tannin. To do this use plenty of cof
fee but d. not cook too I ng. Put one
tablespoon of coffee for each cup (two
for each cup If you wish It strong)
and "one for the pot" Into your cof
fee pot, which has ben scalded since
It waa lust Uf.'d. Add cold water;
bring It slowly to boll, and simmer
two minutes. Settle with a fourth
cup of cold water and set whore It
will keep hot but not boll as bolting
extracts the tunnnln-
If coffee Is left from one monl and
you irish to use It for the next, re
move It from the grounds.
There Is a powdered cofee on the
market which ran be made by simply
our boiling water over It In a lea-
cup. This saves time and the waste
of making more than you need.

HAPPY THOUGHT
IHome is the one place In all this

other. It is the place of confidence.
It Is the spot where expressions of

about $1200 worth of merchandise,
which they probably carried away In
an automobile. Entrance to the Btore
was gained by boring around the lock
of the front door with an augor and
removing the lock.
The loot consisted of silks, wom
