G DISBANDED
tBy Vote It Is Decided to Dis
solve the Present As
sociation. DISCUSSION OF THE WORK
Plan to Jlavc llic Y. W. C. A. In
corporate Duties of Society With
Jts Own Fails Because or
Kcllcious Differences.
The Portland branch of the Travelers'
Aid Association was formally dissolved at
a. board meeting held yesterday afternoon
in the parlors of the Young Women's
Christian Association. It is probable that
work along the same lines taken up by
the Travelers' Aid last Summer will be
carried on by the Y. C. A., now that
the former organization has disbanded. A
strong effort was made to have the Trav
elers' Aid merged with the work of the
Y. "VV. C. A. under its original name, as
an extension to the latter work. This
was not popular with a majority of the
ltoard members, however, and the project
was defeated by a majority vote.
Some Organizations Represented.
Some of the organizations represented
at yesterday's meeting were the W. C.
T. U., Y. V. C. A, "Women's Union, St.
Ann's Charitable Society (Catholic). Coun
cil of Jewish Women, City Federation of
Women's Clubs, City Board of Charities,
Home-Training Association. Ladies' Aid
Society of the Third Presbyterian Church,
the Unitarian Alliance and othors.
Father McDevitt accompanied Miss
Burke, of St. Ann's Society, and took
active part in the discussion. He com
mended the work accomplished by the
Travelers' Aid, and thought it would do
an immense amount of good it continued.
St. Ann's, he said, would no doubt donate
' its share of the fund necessary to a con
tinuance of the .work, in spite of the
heavy demands already made upon it toy
other charities, and of the Mercy Homo
on Sixteenth street, which is doing work
along the general lines of the Travelers'
Aid.
Mrs. Alexander Bernstein, of the Coun
cil of Jewish. Women, brought word from
that organization that, while It thought
the Y. Wr. C. A. would be able to conduct
the work successfully, it did not leel able
to contribute further to its maintenance,
on account of the heavy demand made
upon its treasury by other work.
Sends One Pledged Delegate.
The only organization which sent a del
egate empowered to pledge a regular con
tribution to the fund for maintaining the
work was the Women's Union, which,
through Mrs. C. R. Templeton, stated
that it would give $5 a month if the or
ganization was carried on independently.
The restriction was made that if the
work was merged with that of the Y. W.
C. A. that the contribution would not be
given. Many questions were asked and
different plans discussed as to the future
conduct of the work, and the board was
a long time coming to a definite conclu
sion. The fact that so many creeds were
represented in the Travelers' Aid Associa
tion which are not recognized by the ex
ecutive board of the Young Women's
Christian Association seemed to be a
ftumbling-block in the way of the plan
for the latter organization to assume the
work. Finally a member of the Council
put the question flatly:
A Pertinent Question.
"If this work is assumed by the Y. W.
C. A., will Jews and Catholics be allowed
on the extension committee, .and if so,
will they be allowed to have a voice in
its control?"
Miss MacCorkle, secretary of the Y. W.
C A., explained that they would have a
voice in the committee work, but not on
the executive board.
"So, no matter what the committee de
elded upon, it would be subject to a
board on which Jews and Catholics are
not represented?"
"Xor Unitarians either," suggested a
member of that denomination.
Further explanations followed, but the
objections to the plan which had been
smouldering all the afternoon were given
free expression for a few minutes. The
jilan of the Y. W. C. A of having only
evangelical churches represented on its
governing board did not seem inviting to
the others.
"In other words," said a Unitarian, "we
can play in your yard as long as we play
your way, eh?"
Decides to Discontinue.
The chairman very skillfully avoided
any personalities, and put the question
to a vote of the house, resulting in the
dissolution of the Travelers' Aid Associa
tion. During the meeting Mrs. Baldwin, who
has done most efficient work as superin
tendent during the Exposition season,
read a report of her recent trip East,
during which she made an extended in
vestigation into the work among girls as
carried on in other cities. Mrs. Honey
man, president, and Mrs. Templeton,
treasurer, also gave satisfactory- reports.
Suitable expressions of thanks and appre
ciation were voted by the association to
Mr. MacKenzie, who has acted as audi
tor: to Mrs. Honeyman. who has devoted
much time and attention as president to
the work, and an extra week's salary
was voted to Mrs. Baldwin for settling
VP the affairs of the association and do
ing extra work after her time expired.
Mrs. Baldwin is still receiving applica
tions from women and girls for assist
ance of the kind given by the Travelers'
Aid Association, and is attending to as
much of it as Is possible. It Is more than
probable that the Y. W. C. A. will en
deavor to retain her services in carrving
on this line of work. Every one present
expressed regret that the Travelers' Aid
Association had to disband, but the fact
that funds to carry it on as an Independ
ent organization were not available made
it necessary. More was contributed last
Summer by the National organization
than by local subscription, yet the ma
jority of women and girls assisted be
longed to the Pacific Northwest. The
work has had the praise and commenda
tion of the Police Department and the
var.ious courts.. as well as of the clergy
and public at large.
Will Improve Schoolyard.
The .City School Board yesterday in
structed Architect T. J. Jones to proceed
forthwith In the matter of satisfying com
plaints concerning the Shattuck school
yard. Today a crusher will be put to
work rolling the ground, and as soon as
possible a . top dressing of decomposed
granite from Southern Oregon, similar to
the walks at the Exposition, will "be put
over the broken rocks that have hereto
fore done service as a children's play
ground. BUSINESS ITEMS.

WINTER WEAKNESS
LACK OF OXYGEN WEAKENS
MUSCLES AND NERVES.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills the Tonic
That Most People Need.
In winter the air of the close rooms in
which we spend so much of the time
does not furnish enough oxygen to the
lnugs to burn oat the foal matter in the
blood. Everyone kncrv73 the uncomfort
able feelings that follow the breathing
of bad air and that are cured by simply
opening a window fora short time. The
worst effects, however, are those which
Ere stored np and do not appear at once.
In the cold season we do not exercise
as much and thskin and kidneys do not
throw off the waste matter as freely as
usual. The whole system get3 clogged
just as a machine does when it is not
cleaned with frequency. The stomach
does its work feibly and gets less nour
ishment out of the food. So there is
weakness everywhere ; weak organs,
weak muscles, weak nerves. The sys
tem becomes overloaded with poisonous
matter, and too feeble to throw it off.
Relief can be had only through the use
of a remedy that will promptly and
thoroughly purify and strengthen the
blood, and the one best adapted for this
rjurDose is the exeat blood touic known
as Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills.
"They acted like magic in mv case,"
raid Mrs. Clara L. Wilde, of No. 377
Farnsworth avenue, Detroit, Mich. "I
was weak and thin and could not sleep.
My stomach and nerves were out of or
der. I can't describe hw miserable I
really was. I dragged through six
months of feebleness, growing weaker
all the time untillfiuallyhadn'tstrength,
enough to leave ray bed.
"Then a glad day came, the day when
I begau to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
They made me feel strong right away.
My appetite came back, I took on flesh
and the color returned o my cheeks.
People wondered that these pills did for
me what the doctors conldu't do. I took
only six boxes and then I was perfectly
well. If I had not found this wonderful
remedy I surely think that I must have
wasted to death. Believing firmly that
these pills saved my life by the strength
which they gave me at a critical mo
ment, I unhesitatingly recommend them
to others."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain no
alcohol and do not produce false strength.
They do not contain a single grain of
any harmful drug. They give strength
that lasts. They may be obtained at any
drug store.
purpose f giving the members an oppor
tunity of becoming better acquainted. Of
recent years many new business men
have located In Portland, and the enter
tainment committee is of the opinion that
It Is about time for the old and the new
to get intimately acquainted in a social as
well as a business way. At the smoker a
few of the business men will deliver short
addresses. A vaudeville performance will
be given and an elaborate luncheon
served. The smoker will be given in the
rooms of the organization, in the Cham
ber of Commerce building. In July, when
the second quarterly meeting Is held, the
members will take an excursion to some
near-by point of interest, probably char
tering a steamer for the occasion. Other
events, all working towards the same
end. are being planned by the entertain
ment committee. At the meeting yester
day Afternoon. George Taylor was elected
chairman of the committee.
Elks Will Meet In Xctv Home.
The Portland Elks held their last meet
ing In the old Marquam Lodge rooms last
night. The attendance was heavy, and
many appropriate sentiments were ex
pressed on the subject of the familiar
room that has sheltered the lodge during
the past 14 years. Informal remarks were
made by past exalted rulers and by the
present exalted ruler. C. E. McDonell.
The meeting closed most appropriately
with the singing of "Auld Lang Syne."
The next meeting will be held in the pala
tial new Elks building at Seventh and
Stark streets. The dedication ceremonies
will take place next Thursday evening.
