More Funds Are Needed. Through a process of triple transmu tation, the 'Christmas spirit," which is astir in the hearts of everyone, is mani festing Itself in substantial gifts that shall bring happines to the hearts of nearly 3000 people in Portland, whose Christmas would otherwise be sorely lacking In the good things that belong to the season. Through the mail: into the tops of brick chimneys that stand on the street corners, or swinging kettles beside which stand Salvation Army women, ringing their bells all day long: through a score of other channels ni ters the Christmas spirit, transmuted Into pennies and dimes and coins of larger denomination, to come Into the hands of the major charitable organi zations of the city, which have taken upon themselves the ministering of Christmas good wishes to the poor for those who are prompted by ma ap proach of Christmas to share their Joy with the less fortunate. All Are Assured Gifts. Through the headauarters of the charities pours the stream of monetized Christmas spirit, again transmuted into gifts and baskets of food, clothing, everything that will add to the Christ mas comfort of "him that hath not." And on Christmas day. passing through its third transmutation, the flood of Christmas gifts and baskets will reappear again as the spirit of peace on earth and good will to men. Just as It was in the hearts of the peo ple who paused beside the coniriDuuon boxes or took time to mail a check to n of the charities, so that it might be possible that the overflow of their Christmas good win migni no shared with some of those whose posi tion In life might be less lonunaie. More than 100 families are included in the Christmas ministrations of the Associated Charities of Portland. In the home of each of these the family on Christmas day will be gathered about Its own table to enjoy the Christmas dinner that has been sent by some one of the representatives of the Associated Charities. It is the policy of the or ganization to keep the family circle in tact, and for that reason no invitations have been Issued to take them out to big public Christmas dinners. In many of these homes Christmas trees are to be Installed by visitors from the Asso ciated Charities and Christinas parties have .been arranged for other families. Honelesa Mea Remembered. Probably the most Important in point of the numbers of people who will be reached by it are the ministrations of the Portland Commons, which will reach more than 1000 homeless men, the inmates of the county Jails and the state penitentiary and the homes of the families of those who are in prison; perhaps more than 2000 people in all. Prisoners are to be sent baskets packed with Christmas dainties. On Christmas day. between noon and 8 o'clock, a great dinner will be given at the Com mons at 22 North Front street, where more than 1000 men who are alone in tfce city will be received. At the same time a Christmas dinner, followed by a Christmas tree and party, will be given to women and children at the Alber "tlna Kerr Nursery Home. 129 Four teenth street. The Salvation Army is' issuing tickets to deserving families of poor in the city, which may be exchanged for bas kets of Christmas dainties on me uay before Christmas. A tree will be held on Christmas day at the Salvation Army headquarters at 61 Third street. About 250 families are included in the sphere of the ministrations of the Sal vation Army. Two hundred other fam ilies are to be cared for Christmas day by the Volunteers of America, their list having been checked with those of other charities to avoid duplication. A Christmas tree will be held at 6 Grand avenue and baskets of Christmas din ner will be distributed on the day be fore Christmas. The People's Institute is preparing to send out Christmas baskets to 100 other families and will have a tree on the lay before Christmas. The Fruit and Flower Mission will give a dinner and tree for the mothe whose children have been in Its care, at the Day Nurs ery, on Christmas day. , '. Immatra of Refoae Included. The Elks, the Portland Ad Club and similar organizations are also search ing out families of the needy with presents of food and clothing and hun dreds will be reached in this way. The Florence Crlttenten Home is preparing for a big Christmas dinner, a tree and an afternoon entertainment, not only for those who are now in the home but for any who have previously been Inmates and may desire to return and take part in the holiday festivi ties. . One place that haa not yet been fully provided for is the Frazer Detention Home, at East Fifty-second and Has sajo streets. Mrs. H. L. Baker, the matron, is determined that the children shall have a tree and some sort of a 'Christmas dinner, but the tree will be woefully lacking in gifts unless some of the Christmas spirit that is flowing about so freely at this time can be diverted In that direction. Mrs. Baker has asked that anyone who wants to help make Christmas day brighter for the waifs in her charge shall phone to her or write and a boy will be sent to get any offerings they may have. "We have made arrangements for a tree." she says, "but I don't know what n will do for gifts unless the people of Portland help us. The ages of the children range from to 17. They need underwear, stockings, toys, boons, in fact anything that we can get which will make Christmas merrier for them and the only place that tey have to call borne more homelike to them." l.ef to RUtbt Bcek Row Dos Wleden. mm "Dub" Duffleldi Ethel Murray, as Kleanor Forbes Mlatr Holcomo, urn un..

The sup posed "lemon" becomes the goal of half the men on the campus. The objection to his occupation is overcome by the family and he takes Miss Forbes. Charles Parcell had the v part of a funny-book freshman and played the part to a "T." He and Miss McQueen were the real comedians. They man aged to get off several puns about in structors and prominent students. Frank Davis, the popular manager, came in for his share, as usual. He in quires, "Did you see the balloon over the campus this afternoon?" Miss Mc Queen Informs him that it was not a balloon, but merely Frank Davis, the congenial heavy-weight manager. Claude McDonald, Harold Fitzglbbon and a few other boys distinguished themselves as prominent students of the college, who tried to run tire in stitution. Lowell Patton, as . the vil lainous cousin of the heroine, was as good as any of the old-fashioned "blood-and-thunder" artists of the good old days.

L. H. Baker, superintendent of the Frazer Detention Home, wishes to say through The Oregonlan that the home Is sadly in need of toys and other nit able Christmas gifts for the 25 Inmates of the home. The children, ranging from 6 to 17 years of age, are eagerly planning and rehearsing for the Christ mas tree and entertainment to be given Christmas night. The county provides plenty of good things for the dinner, but thus far there have, been no donations of any gifts for them. Some of the children are orphans, some have been deserted. All of them are hungrily waiting and hoping for Santa Claus. The manage ment will be glad to send to any place In the city for donations. Phone Tabor 1339. The category of these stars who have become famous in a night has been increased by one since the dis covery of Miss- Ariel McQueen in "The Senior," presented by the graduating class of February, 1913, at the Jeffer son High School last night. She had the part of the cashier in the play, which centered about Blair Holcomb, as the proprietor of the coffee house. He, by the way, is another star and after this Manager Baker, of the Baker Stock Company, might dispose of his annual trip East and confine his search for stock stars to the Portland amateur field. The "Seniors" is conceived on a typi cal college campus. Miss Ethel Mur ray as Miss Forbes comes to theuni versity at the time of the annual dance. Her cousin. Perry Spencer, played by Lowell Patton, considers her a bore and as he expresses It, "a lemon." He dis poses of her by getting Gordon 'Wain right, the student proprietor of the lnnch counter, to take her to the dance, and generously takes it upon himself to teach him the ways of society. , Situation Is Reversed. However, the situation develops into the reverse- and Walnrlght clears the SMART SET ACT AS SANTAS Charitable Members of Portland So ciety to Give Christmas Cheer, Charitable members of the smart se are interested in the Christmas tree, which Is to be given at the Children's Home on Tuesday evening.
