girls were bruised about the body and
are suffering from nervous shock.
Miss Patterson is a daughter of Mrs.
Clara Patterson, superintendent of
the state industrial school for girls
According to a complaint lodged
with the scnool board by Mr. Pierce
and A. N. Bush, of the Ladd & Busti
bank. Miss Pierce was first com
manded by the society to appear in a
local cemetery at 9 o'clock last night
rmed with an egg and a bathing
suit. Mr. Pierce objected to the ceme
tery for the holding of the ceremo
nies, anj his daughter was later noti
fied to appear at the courthouse.
When she arrived she was blind
folded, placed in an automobile and
taken to a place that she could not
recall today. Investigation, however,
revealed that she and her two com
panions were left near the state hos
pital, which was the scene of the pre
liminary initiation.
Investigation by the school authori
ties indicated that the club was made
up of about 20 members, with Miss
Beryl Hoyt, a teacher, acting as their
adviser. Miss Hoyt denied that any
Intentional injuries were inflicted
upon the girls, and added that they
were accidental.
Members of the school said that
they had no knowledge of the so
ciety's existence.
All the mebmers of the society are
members of prominent Salem families.
Brenton "Vedder, county school sup
erintendent, has called a meeting of
all teachers and school directors of
the Wilsonville section to take place
in the school house at that place on
Saturday, March 12, for the purpose
of discussing school standardization
and other subjects. W. M. Smith, of
Salem, assistant state superintend
ent, will address the meeting on
"Consolidation of Schools" and a
literary program for the day has been
perfected. Competition is keen
among the rural schools of the county
on standardization methods and
work, and it is the intention of Mr.
Vedder to enroll every school in
Clackamas under the standard banner.
The meeting at Wilsonville will be
an all-day affair, and the parents and
others have been invited to attend.

HOW IS WOMAN CHANGING ?
.Part I. Yesterday and To-Day.
Yetserday our girls were educated
chiefly to charm. Charm was a wo
man's stock in trade, her chief asset,
the means whereby she won her sup
port, a husband.
Today charm is not an end, but a
bl-product, of their education. Their
combination of health, efficiency, in
tellectuality, and wide social Inter
eeis and emotions has never been
equalled, and that Is what makes
charm.
Yesterday the doting bride-groom
led the woman of his choice In at the
door of hi8 new home, and closed
the door to the outside world. Years
went by and the door remained clos
ed. Her life was spent with the little
ones, with immature minds, and with
other women as circumscribed in
thought and experience as herself.
The result was that the man of at
fairs, who from his field of activities
daily learned something new, gradu
ally outgrew hisi wife. '
While "Mother" was always ten
derly cherished for her spiritual qual
ities, her devoted and self-sacrificing
love and service, her unshakable
faith and trust, yet she waa looked
down upon for her lack of, knowledge
and allowance made for her because
of her narrow and; unsophistlcatec
views. "Poor Mother" was a fre
quent term, and her "innocence" am
gullibility "were a Joke among the
more informed. Boys and girls early
ceased to go to her for counsel since
her sheltered life gave no comprehen
sion of the demands and require
ments of their broader sphere. She
was only shocked or terrified at their
more open and frank, but as harmless
experiences.
Unmarried women had no place in
the social order. Their only lot was
to serve in another's home as a side
issue, a filler-in, to do the left over
jobs for the whole family, or to go
out into a hard and unwelcoming
world to wring from it a scanty and
difficult living i n competition with
men who had little respect for her
there.

who was one of the United States
treasury representatives upon the
American commission to negotiate

the peace conference.
"I note a , constant reference to

French and British representatives

Fourteen applications for member

Community club, held at Jennings

special committee on sidewalks and
roads was appointed consisting of G.

The club will take up the question
of securing water and a permanent
committee on water was appointed,
the members being C. .E- Meldrum.
W. W. Woodbeck, Fred B. Madison
and Edwin Pierson.
The school part of the evening was
given to a selection by a quartet: W.

Blinstone gave a humorous reading.
The next meeting of the club will
be held Wednesday evening, March 3.
Mrs. Howard C. Leet, of Gladstone,
was struck down by a passing Ford
auto yesterday eveninjg about 5:30
o'clock at the corner of Eighth ana
Main streets, and was badly injured.
She is now in the Oregon City hos
pital suffering from internal injur
ies. The machine struck her in the
back and threw her to the pavement.
She was carried to the. offices of
Drs. Mount, where first aid was given
and later removed to the hospital.
The driver of the car A. Brown
of 65 McCoy avenue, Portland, claims
that Mrs. Leet stepped from the cum
in front of the car and before he
could apply the brakes, the machine
crashed into her. Mrs. Leet was
talking with another lady at the
time and just before the accident oc
curred, was standing near the curb
preparatory to crossing Main street,
The force of the blow bent the radi
ator of the car, and the front wheel
almost ran over Mrs. Leet after she
was thrown to the pavement.
The accident happened so quick
that few pedestrians near at the
time could give a clear account
of it, but the driver says
that Mrs. Leet stepped off the
curb directly in front of the oncom
ing car and did not see the machine
until it struck her.
The Ford is owned by W. C. Glad
ney, or Aurora, and was traveling
South at the time of the accident. It
is reported tha Mrs. E. Hartley, of
10th and Water streets, this city, was
a witness to tne aitair ana gave
description- to the authorities jHst
how the accident occurred.
Mrs. Leet is well known through
out this county, and has three child
ren, Louis, aged 11 years; Inez, aged
8 and Artes 4 years. She was report
ed resting easily at the hospital, and
the doctors have not announced the
extent of her injuries.
Childless wives found their hands
very empty. Deteriorating ease; a
restless whirl in society with men
other than their huhbands; amuse
ment or study clubs for women; an
exacting preclseness in housekeep
ing; or a devotion to tatting; these
were their only alternatives of em
ployment to fill their futile existence.
Today life in most of its phases
is being changed.. The horse-and-buggy
has given place to the auto,
business methods have revolutionized;
governments are undergoing upheav
als and readjustments; and as pro
nounced are the changes In the sphere
and activities of women.
Today Woman is peeping out from
her house windows upon life, or is on
the threshold just stepping forth, or
some of the bolder or more forced
are now holding a full place in the
work-a-day world. For all, even for
the mother with her brood about her,
the walls are becoming less constrain
ing. Doors and windows are being
left open, and the atmosphere of the
outside is penetrating into the home.
This movement of women from the
hearthstone to the mart is double in
its influence. It changes business
and it also changes the home; for the
woman comes back to the fireside
and brings with her gleanings in the
field of outer activity.
What, O WHAT, will be the effect
of these changes upon woman, upon
the home, upon business, government,
humanity?
Whether you fear, or rejoice in
these changes depends upon whether
you are instictively a pessimist or
an optimist; ready to accept happily
the processes of evolution or a timid
reactionist from everything new. To
one who has faith in the gentle sex
and who also believes with Tennysoi.

DAY'S WORK
REPORT SAYS V
SOLONSTOOK
LOOSE STUFF
SALEM, Or., Feb. 24. When state
house ' janitors this morning started
the task of renovating the house and
senate chambers .they found that
practicially everything movable had
been carried away.
In one instance a legislator Had
notified the state house superintend
ent that he had engaged a dray to
take his desk and chair to the depot
for shipment to his home. This rep
resentative was informed that the
state wa3 not engaged in the furni
ture business and that the desks an-j
chairs would be retained.
County agents generally have been
accused of "loafing around the of
fice." The statement below shows
how the writer loafed and it is borne
out by careful records kept day by
day. During the year, 116 meetings
were held which means that every
two and one-half days during the
vear taken as a whole, there was a
meeting; the tfotal attendance at all
of these meetings was 11,020. ' Dur
ing the year 2,745 personal letters
were written and this means that on
every working day, nine personal let
ters -were sent out. The total num
ber of copies of circular letters mail
ed was 8,970 of an average of 33 a
day. The number of .calls at the ot
fice during the year were 1,673 per
means an average of 32 calls per
week.
In doing the work which has been
set out in this brief sketch of the re
sults of the last year, it has required
5,734 miles travelled by a dilapidatea
Ford, which means an average of
19 miles a day for 297 days. In ad
dition, 1,148 miles were travelled by
train, or a total of 6,882 miles. Twice
the distance across the United Stat
es in doing, the work as directed by
the board of directors of the farm

Farm Life.
Pharmacy, is a field as yet not
largely entered by women. The pub
lic, who feels that it must have ab
solute confidence in the person who
mixes fts drugs hasi not yet seen fit
to bestow this confidence upon a
woman. There, is no reason, however,
why a woman cannot as readily be
trusted to compound drugs as a man.
and a few women are succeeding at
it admirably.
There is one consideration to be
recognized by the pharmacist. Drug
stores in cities are being taken over
by large corporations. Few are own
ed individually. The movement is
spreading and the time will probably
come shortly when it will not be easy
to succeed as a private druggist own
ing one's own drug store However,
for the girj who loves the work and
is willing to work for somebody else
as to assume the risk and reponsi
bility of being in business for hei
self, this is. not a detriment. In the
present condition of society, women,
unfortunately receive a less wage
than men, and this helps somewhat,
for a girl to get a position although
the long hours often demanded of a
pharmacist work against her as a
candidate for a position and make
men preferred.
The salary of the pharmacist ranges
from $30 to $50 weekly, depending
on the size of the city where she is
employed and on the ability of the
pharmacist.
To prepare for pharmacy a girl
must take a course at school and pass
a state examination. The college
usually demands a high school diplo
ma from those who enter the course.
The course in pharmacy usually takes
three years and costs about the same
as any college course. It has the ad
vantage of permitting one to earn
something while studying as she may
hold a position in a drug store dur
ing this time.
Some of the best openings for the
girl pharmacist are government ap
pointments a3 food and drug inspect
or, which gives a comfortable salary,
or a position in a dispensary, or a
hospital. In the latter two positions
the hours are short and the work
light. A hospital position possesses
the advantage of furnishing expenses
for maintainence besides a salary.
There are at present a few drug
stpres owned and operated by "women
pharmacists. There is room for
more such, but it will require pluck
to overcome the prejudice against
women and in every business under
taken for oneself there is always the
need for capital and the uncertainty
and risk of building up a new busi
ness.
The mother should sit down before
each chlid separately and give him a
lesson carefully using her own tooth
brush and showing' him by cleaning
her own teeth just how it should be
done. Then she should have the
child go through the process, correct
ing his mistakes thoroughly but
sweetly until she is convinced tha
ne knows how to do it exactly right.
After tnat it isi a steady pull every
day to remind, insist and inspect.
The proper way to clean teeth is
this: Use a rotary movement from
the gums downward so that you rub
"with the grain" which lines go
from the root to the edge of each
tooth. The usual sawing movement
of the brush across the teeth does
little good. Not only the teeth should
be brushed but the gums as far up
as can be reached and the back ot
the tongue. It isi particularly im
portant that the backs or inner sides
of the teeth be brushed thoroughly
and as this is difficult the motheT
will need to attend strickly to this
or it will be neglected. The two front
teeth below need special care on the
back or inner sides. Near thefce,
large saliva glands are located and
these two teeth will become coated
with tartar in the inner side at the
roots unless strongly rubbed daily.
This tartar will loosen the front
teeth and is; the reason why so many
adults find that their two lower
fro teeth are becoming crooked.
.After brushing the teeth it is well
to rinse the mouth with a mild tooth
wash, as salt water, forcing the water
between the teeth.
Tooth powder is better for teeth
cleaning that a past or soap as
the mild friction and scouring of . a
powder is needed.

When suffrage was granted to the

should also have been granted to
them. Accordindly in 1876, Miss Su

low asi five cents a dozen. They are
little and dry but have succeeded in
"breaking the market" so that eggs
are much cheaper now than is usual
at 'this time of the year. It is well
to use up promptly the eggs preserved
in the home. Fresh eggs are begin
ning to be plentiful.
Of late we have been impressed
with the Importance of "vitamins" in
food and that the sources of this are
chiefly green vegetables and fruits,
butter fat andyolks of eggs. This
gives new importance to eggs inthe
diet. Boiling is apt to destroy the
vitamins so that the more nearly raw
we can keep the eggs the better.
Coddled egg is an ideal food for a
child or delicate person as it is easilj
digested and the white merely jellied
with the vitamins of the yolk unde
stroyed. To coddle an egg either put
it in boiling water or let it sit off
the fire for twenty minutes, or put it
in plenty of cold water and let iti
come slowly to a near-boil.
In baked or boiled custards or tap
ioca steamed is a good way to serve
eggs. Boil the milk first and add the
egg last so it will not boil. Children
like "eggs en nest", which simply
means a dish or mashed potatoes
generally trimmed with butter and
cream; put them in a pan and make
hole3 in the top; break an egg into
each of these holes nd bake in oven
until potatoes are slightly browned
and eggs soft baked.'

those useful receptacles. These" kind
ly lines neutralize the extreme fig
ures into one composite form the
spring model and all women looft
alike.
The lines of the Spring dress are
mostly up-and down lines. Howeyei
there are bold, straight-across lines
in the large plaids of skirts, but,
bless you. no, the waist-line is not!
The place thereof knoweth it , no
more. In the words of the small boy,
"This apple aint got no core."
Whatever is the use of a waist
line, anyway? At best it was, like
the Mason and Dixon line, fictitious,
inharmonious, and inartistic. No mat
ter what Madame Parley-Vous may
have decreed in times past, the ar
tists always knew better and you
never caught Venue di Milo, an
Aphrodite, or a Goddess of Liberty
disporting any such inane bisector.
The youth who slipped his "arm
around her slender waist" has fled
with the girl who from the middle
down to the floor was the shape ot
. capital A. In his place is that
taking" admirer who would as soon
grasp in his, arms a box or a barrel.
Most lines of the present contour
are very long, the only exception be
ing those cross-wise ones just below
the chin and the knees,. These, true
to the linear nature of things straight,
are "the shortest distance between
two points." But, have no fear, they
do not in any way limit the activity
of the extremes thus constricted, foi
the modern lady can function with feet
or head with an efficiency never be
fore equalled by her sex.
The probability is; that Fashion,
whose habitual movements are pen
dulum-like presently begin to swing
'back to normalcy." ' Within a gener
ation she has vibrated from the ex
treme wasp waist, with its its immenso
curves above and below, helped in
cases by bustle, hip-pads, and what
not, to the present barrel form ol
H. Hersting and wife, of Damascus,
who were held on a warrant charg
ing them with the alleged attempt
to keep their young son out of school.
were found not guilty by a jury in
the justice court yesterday afternoon.
The jury was out only about five
minutes before the verdict was
brought in.
The case was the outcome of the
young son of the Herstings receiving
an alleged whipping while attending
the Damascus school. The father,
who acted as his own attorney at the
trial, claimed that the boy was so
badly injured that he was unable to
attend school, but after a notice was
received from the truant officer de
manding that the boy be sent back
to school, Hersting alleges that this
was done, but that they sent the boy
to another school.
The case attracted considerable
attention from the Damascus neigh
borhood ana locally, and the court
room was crowded.
