WOMEN CLING TO GLOVES AI HOSE Higher Tariff Will Not Leave Extremities Bare, so They Declare. MUST BE CLOTHED ANYWAY Portland Society Leaders Not Dis posed to Follow Example of Chi cago Clubwomen and Wear No Gloves and Stockings. Tv"hrie Chicago clubwomen may pro test and vow they will go without frloves and reduce their purchases of hosiery, Portland women, both leaders of society and members of the Port land Women's Club, believe that such tactics are quite unbefitting the Pa cific Northwest. That the changes brought about will be largely of an Individual nature, and that there will be no concerted action against the Payne tariff bill, which, by reason of certain of Its pro visions, causes a substantial Increase In many articles In which women are particularly interested. Is believed. Although women's gloves and hosiery are the two articles of attire against which the strongest censure was passed In the Windy City, the bill pro poses substantial Increases In the tar iff on tea. coffee and children's toys. The general opinion expressed was that In accordance with the general Increased cost of living the rise in price of cofe and tea would not be especially noticed, and the question as to whether gloves and hosiery were to be classed as luxuries or necessaries would determine the manner In which the women of Portland would view the proposed Increase In cost. Prices Up, Stockings Down. Some women said that the taxation of luxuries was the correct basis of taxation, and that this being the case women should view with equanimity 1 any increased cost. "As mv husband , lias to pay mv bills I can't see why I am especially concerned," was the opinion or one woman, while another very firmly expressed the opinion tha If the price goes up, the stocking ..(11 A - . . . . . it. rigs ..." ivmo uuwu, inus gently hinting at a possible economical way of treat ing the matter.' Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniwav was con fident that the Increase would lead people back to old-fashioned times. "Our women will learn to darn their stockings." she said. Most women scouted the Idea that the Chicago ladles were serious in their vows to abandon gloves and stockings. "They say they will, and they may," commented one woman, "but so many people would be mis taking them for professional barefoot dancers thnt I think they would soon change their minds. of course, Chi cago women may be very strongmind d. but I have never seen any of them very anxious to abandon gloves, even In hot weather. to say nothing of stockings. However high the price goes. I think Portland women will still wear stockings, and I expect to see them keep on wearing gloves." That price is not the determining element with women's clothes was the opinion frequently expressed. "We want what we believe we require, and we are going to have It. whatever the price may be." was the somewhat em phatic statement of one of the best known local society women. When It came to the question of tea. coffee and clothes, there were several evasive Veplles. One or two ladles hinted that they might purchase a cheaper article, and two advised The Oregonlan reporter to consult their servants on the matter. "Really," said one lady, "my cook Is so capable that she will be able to give you all you want. She does the buying, and If tea and coffee are Increased In price I suppose she will have to buy some thing else. And I don't think we are really tied to any one thing." Mrs. II. W. Coe gave a thoughtful opinion. "There will be no difference In the sale," she commented. "Ladles must make their purchases, and al though I have not especially studied the question. I do not believe women will go without stockings and gloves. Means Careful Purchases. "With the poorer classes It may be somewhat harder, but I have nlways found conditions adjusted to the re quirements, if the cost of living goes up. wages must Increase. If wages should not be raised. the working classes may have to economize and wear fewer gloves, but I bardlv think they will go without stockings." Mrs. Warren E. Thomas derided the Chicago women for their purpose in appealing for a reduced tariff rate. "Chicago women may say that they will do without hosiery and gloves." she said, "hut we certainly won't, and I don't thing Chicago women will, either. 1 think people mav curtail their purchases a little, but sooner or later they will be making Just the same number of purchases as before. Women will pay Just a little more and have the things Just the same." Mrs. Thomas thought that she might change her opinion after giving the matter careful thought, but later In the day she confessed she had not changed her opinions in any degree. As a careful thinker and speaker. Mrs. Dunlway took time to consider before she would deliver anv opinion Mrs. nuniway Is a student of econom ics and took the economic line of argu ment. "Naturally, the Increased cost will make us much more careful," she commented, "and we shall begin to darn our stockings as we used to do In the old days. Nowadays women are so busy bridge playing that thev do not devote the time they should to darning the stockings at home. We all have a quantity of stockings put away, while they have been so cheap, and I expect that these will be brought out and repaired. "Especially will this he the case with the children, and the new tariff may do good by bringing back our old fashioned darning habit. "Women are always ready to meet any emergency, and perhaps the Gov ernment won't be any the gainer, for we can practice economy. As to other things, we shall just have to use com mon sense. Women have not h.n using common sense In the matter of gloves, and If the tariff brings that bout It will have done well." That some definite action will have to be taken as a protest, was the opinion of Mrs. A. C. Tanton. Mrs. Panton aatd she felt society women would have to make their action felt at Washington, and thought this mtRht be undertaken by the women of the country en masse. Gloves May Go but Hosiery, No. "With Summer coming on, we shall fcs able to do without sieves as a starter.- said this lady; "lots of people do so. and I see no reason why thev should not. I hope that the habit of going wiiuoui nosiery is not adopted I should hate to think of any of my lady friends appearing In public without 'them.' and I know I never shall. "If the bill passes and the price of tea and coffee rises much higher, I am con fident that heaps of people will go In for cereal drinks. Many CaHfornlans do so at present, and I rather think we are likely to do the same, particularly as many people can't tell the difference be tween the cereals and the genuine arti cle. Tou eertalnly can't if you eat at a restaurant. Before I should care to give a further opinion. I should like to have the opportunity to study the bill further. In view of Its terrible provisions, I shall do this at once." . Mrs. John K. Kollock deplored the pro posed heavy Increase in the cost of what amounts to necessities to women. "We certainly will have to do some mertalng or something." thought this popular young matron. "Prices are bad enough at present, and If It gets much worse we may certainly have to go without gloves at least we may have to curtail our buying. If It gets much worse, we may even have to go without both gloves and stockings, but" Mrs. Kollock stopped to think a moment "I guess It can't get any worse, can It?" she queried. "We must have tea and coffee I know I must and whatever the price is, we shall Just have to pay It." "It seems to me," said Mrs. Frank B. Riley, "that this possible increase will be a terrible thing for the working classes. They will Just have to do with out tea and coffee. I am afraid. As they do with few gloves and "things' at pres ent, they will Just have to do without any more or less. As society women, I don't believe we shall ever come to any extreme measures for it would be fear fully extreme to go without one's stock ings, don't you know. I am afraid we shall do Just the same as we have al- PORTLAND WOMEN WHO COMMENT ON INCREASED TARITF CHARGES ON GLOVES AND HOSE I . . , ' J Mrs. AblKall Scott Dunlway. ways done buy the same gloves, the same hosiery and everything else." LAY STONE FOR SCHOOL CEREMONY AT SITE OF JEFFER SON HIGH TOMORROW. New Building: Will Be Ready Next Spring and Candidates for Prin cipal Are in Field. The laying of the cornerstone of the new Jefferson High School in North Al blna will take place tomorrow after noon at 3 o'clock. The time was orig inally set for April 2, but, owing to the inability of some of the directors to at tend, the formality was postponed. The programme is likely to be simple and be composed of brief addresses by Su perintendent Frank Rlgler and some of the members of the Board of Education. These details have not yet been arranged. Members of the Board say that the work on the new building Is progressing rapidly and It Is hoped to have the struc ture ready for occupancy by the opening of the Spring term In ll10.

He is one of the best known educators in Portland and the State of Oregon and has been engaged In school work in this city for a number of years. Mr. Jenkins is a graduate of Yale, where he has also taken a post-graduate course. TETU TAKES NEW POSITION Becomes Manager of Portland Real ty Associates.

Measure Fathered by That Body Passes Away Among Its Friends. ihtrtr No whlch ws to have beerf put before the voters in the June elec tion, by Initiative ' 'ec. away quietly last night. This charter uSOn2etfnlesJeen fered to as the child of the Peoples' Forum but the Forum, while conceding that Charter No 8 was a nice child, has refused to father It. Nevertheless the charter died in the home of Its reputed progenitors in Selling Hirsch hall. The. obituary was pronounced by Isaac Swett, one of the members of a com mittee that had the preparation of the charter in hand. This committee has been working assiduously for a week and had prepared a fairly complete draft of a charter. Last evening Mr. Swett announced at a sparsely attended meeting of the Forum, that tha attempt to submit a charter that met the Ideas of the Forum had been commenced too late. He said some of the attorneys who had offered their serv ices in preparing the document had been called out of town and others had de serted the cause. Mr. Swett found that practically the entire legal responsibility of preparing the charter had devolved upon him. He said he believed the general plan of the proposed charter was feasible practicable and right, but that all the features desired could not be put In proper form without a great deal of study and consideration. He had found It Im possible In the limited time available to do the work himself. , If the charter were now in complete form- there would be but three days in which to secure about 3500 signatures In order to gt the document before the peo ple by initiative proceedings. The charter should have been in the hands of the printer Saturday. After a study of the situation, however, Mr. Swett said he did not look upon the failure to get the charter In form as a seVious calamity. He expressed the opinion that the City Council would not vote to submit the charter drawn by the commission of 16 but would adopt the one now In course of preparation by the City Charter board of seven members. i APRIX 5, 1909.

S. F.

There has been no meeting of Hoo-Hoo In Portland for over a year, and the lusty-lunged midnight . serenaders are becoming very much out of practice In delivering their tones with precision and unison. This is to be remedied April 24. To become a Hoo-Hoo the applicant must be in the lumber business or in an allied industry, and when accepted forthwith becomes a "kitten." Just what happens to him at the regular meeting has not been disclosed to an inquiring public, but the .presumption is nothing more se rious than to hike up a fence and ex change remarks In the eat tongue with neighbors.

EJEAGI NEW CHURCH IS OPENED METHODISTS HOIiD SERVCES AT LATOELWOOD. Bishop Smith Delivers Address at Dedication of Edifice In Rapidly Growing Suburb. The Laurelwood Methodist Episcopal Church, on the Mount Scott line, was dedicated yesterday In a series of serv ices, which occupied the main portion of the day. Rev. B. H. Bryant, the pastor, was In charge. The first serv ices were conducted at 10:30 A. M.. at which time an Inspiring sermon was delivered by Bishop Charles W. Smith to an audience that taxed the capacity of the auditorium. At 8 P. M. Rev.. W. B. Hollingshead. Portland district superintendent, conducted an enthusi astic piairorm meeting, at which a number of addresses were delivered and considerable money raised. At 7:30 P. M. a rally was held under the auspices of the Epworth League. The Hawaiian band took part in the serv ices of the day. The new church was the outcome of a class organized in the latter part of 1904 by Rev. T. B. Ford, of the Sun nyaide Methodist Episcopal Church, which met at the home of the late Rev. Mr. Dunlap. The class purchased a small chapel from the Evangelical people and the church was organized by Rev. G. R. Bennett as a mission of the Sunnyside Church. It was made an independent charge at the meeting of Oregon Conference of the same year, with Rev. C. H- Campbell as pastor. Rev. C. H. Woolley later had charge, and he was followed by the present pastor. The success that attended the rebuilding of the church Is due to Rev. Mr. Bryant and the loyalty of the members and the support of the neighborhood. Recorder's Office Kept Busy. OREGON CITY, Or., April 4. (Special.)

BRIGHT'S DISEASE That chronic Brlght's Disease is now being cured by treatment that reduces inflamma tion In the kidney is beginning to be gen erally known. We copy the following from the San Francisco Bulletin. June 22d. lOS: "The recovery is reported of Mr Z Law ton, of 264 Fifth Avenue. Ban Francisco. The case Is especially Interesting, due to the fact that books declare chronic Brlght's Dis ease Incurable and five city physicians had passed on and diagnosed the case. The usual symptoms found in extreme cases were re portedexcessive dropsy, enlarged heart and towards the last the patient could only sleep sitting up. and for six weeks he slept In a chair.
