Syntem of Charitable Organization
lTactically Assures Each Worthy
Person of Visit From "Santa."
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."

of an old Virginia family. 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

balloon, but merely Frank Davis, the
congenial heavy-weight manager.

themselves as prominent students of

no latitude. She did the part splendidly.

from 6 to 17 years of age, are eagerly

Christmas night.
The county provides plenty of good
things for the dinner, but thus far
there have, been no donations of any

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.

Our Saturday Message
Realizing that the oyster and shellfish industry has heretofore not
been brought up tovthe proper standard in Portland, we started busi
ness with that end in view, and at our various stores have placed at
your disposal an abundant stock of the choicest of these products
obtainable. .
We grow our shellfish in our own beds and know exactly the quality
of each shipment received, so there can be no possibility of our retail
stores being at any time a dumping place for the mistakes of a whole
saler who buys promiscuously.
Our Fourth-street grill opens today, and every detail pertaining to
the comfort and service of our patrons has been carefully arranged,
while the cooks in charge are rivaled only by those at our Second
