Unfailing source of comfort from the
first,
Faithful defender from the ills of life,
My great desire, my beautiful ideal,

The one who understands, or, missing
that.
Grants me the benefit of doubt, and
knows
My heart is right and all will yet be
well
My Mother.
Proud magnifier of my deeds and
worth,
Believer in my boundless power to
win,
Through thick and thin, my best, my
truest friend,
My Mother.
The anchor fast which makes me ever
bold
And feel secure cn earth since she is
here;
Or passing on, the tie which draws
me hence.
. My Mother.
The memory which makes me sure of
good.
Strong argument that life is rich and
fine,
Conclusive proof that love will never
wane.
My Mother.

Washington closely followed by the
Pan-American Conference of Women
In Baltimore, with '"International
Friendliness" the key-thought.
This Conference is probably the big
gest thing ever put across by women
to date. It is a pleasant forecast of in
ternational understanding, in the west
ern hemisphere at least, that all coun
tries but one sent delegates. These
were splendid women, leaders each i
her own country, highly educated, pub
licly efficient, and each appointed after
a career of social service.
Sitting in six great Round Table
meetings to discuss frankly the prob
lems which concern all ""women or
gather in immense mass-meetings to
listen to masterly addresse, or pass
ing in and out among the numerous
luncheons," motor trips and play oc
cassions, these women have learned a
great deal from one another and con
ceived a new appreciation of one an
other, a new willingness to co-operate,
a new friendliness. .Each will carry this
back to her wide circle of influence.
A permanent organization. "The
Pan-American Association for the Ad
vancement of women," has grown out
of this gathering. Guests from Europe
are urging that it include Europe.
j Not alone may legislators determine
whether there will be war or interna
tional friendliness, but the people must
! decide. Women are great propagan
dists and these women will cultivate
this Pan-American friendliness from
the cradles to the legislative halls.
The olive branch, thus tended and
watered, will flourish and our children
and childrefn's children may Ineyer
know wars. ;
Incidentally,, how many departments
and ramifications of social betterment
may this new association know! Al
ready it has concerned itself with "the
political and civil status of women,"
"child welfare," "education," "women
in industry," and "the prevention of
the traffic in women."
Conferences of the Association will
hereafter be annual, the mext one
probably in Canada. Meantime agen
cies of every kind: the Red Cross, the
Christian Association!, organizations
economic, medical, educational states
manly, are calling international con
ferences and the world is actually be
ing knit together into, 'international
friendliness."
"We are living, we are moving in a
grand and awful time,
In an age on ages telling. To be
living is sublime!"
WO MAN-I-TO RIALS
Gracious Manners.
Women of the northern America
are quick to note and admire the sweet
grace and dignity and gentle modesty
of their southern sisters. While the
women of the north are more bustling,
efficient, and vivacious, they are not,
as a whole, of as gentle and polished
manner as the women of the south.
The Pan-American Conference wil
do us all good in many ways.
Social Mothers.
It isn't only nor ' always physical
mothers who know what mother love
is. Those who live to serve humanity
whether mothers in the flesh or not
have the real mother instinct. You will
find these wherever motherin is need
ed, mere slips of girls sometimes, go
ing about adminstering comfort,
brooding over a school-room a day
nursery, a juvenile court, or a bed of
pain.
Caught in the Act!
The Cleveland Commercial is uni
que, and advanced, in that it is bid
ding for the patronage of women (and
getting it, too) as few publications
have yet had the foresight to do. They !
print woman-interest st-uii in generous,
near-fifty-fifty proportions. . Further
more, in a recent ad, they announced j
the startling discovery, "The (the wo
men) would demand as high a stan
dard in a newspaper as do the men."
Ladies! We have been found out!
Ought we to say "Thank you!" "Of
course!"?
TWILIGHT
The show of the tallest pines stretch
longer, ever longer, f
And the winds that waft their whispers
grow damper now and cold;
And the mists rise in the valleys, al
ways stronger, always stronger;
And the dark tips of the tree tops show
against the sunset s gold.
With a rustle of the forest and a fad
ing of the light,
And the silent calls and numerous of
the swiftly falling night.
And the hum of unseen voices as the
wild things take thir flight,
The evening comes.

SHIP IN DISTRESS
FOUND AND LOST
IN FOGOFF COAST
Schooner Ozmo Helpless on
Reefs Near Port Orford;
Eighteen Men and Captain
Taken by Relief Vessels.
WIRELESS MESSAGE
TELLS OF CONDITION
Hull Fills With Water and
Drifts for 15 Hours; No
Trace of Some Men Found.
MARSHFIELD, Or., May 17. A
wireless message from the steamer
Willamette tonight said that both that
vessel and the -tug Fearless had again
lost the disabled motorship Ozmo
when a heavy fog shut down, sudden
ly, cutting her off from view. The
Fearless was near the Willamette as
as the message was sent. The steam
er Johanna Smith, which left here to
night, intended to stop off Port Or
ford and assist in the search.
The motorship Ozmo, en route from.
San Francisco for Kuskowin river,
Alaska, via Puget sound, was picked
up by the tug Fearless at 2:30 p. m.
today, her engine completely disabled
and her hull nearly filled with water,
after she had drifted helplessly for
more than 12 hours. The damage was
caused when the Ozmo struck the
rocks near Port Orford, Or., in a
heavy fog. Eighteen men, including
the captain, were taken off the Ozmo
by the Fearless and the steamer Wil
lamette, which reached her simultan
eously. She had drifted about 14
miles. A boat containing other mem
bers of the crew had left the Ozmo
earlier in the day, and up tonight had
not reported. It was expected the
Ozmo would be towed here for re
pairs. The Ozmo's first wireless message
said her engine had been disabled
and drowned out by the accumulation
of water in the hold.
