Interest Brings Unusual Decision to Hold Xo Vacations in Either Day or Xight Schools. Activities about the Portland Young Men's Christian Association promise to keep up better this Summer than ever before. In every department there is unusual activity for this season. In dicating; that the association building is to be a busy- place during the hot weather months. In the physical department the activity is especially notable. Last year only the business men's gymna sium classes were maintained during the Summer, but this year practically all of tho sTmnasluui classes will re main in session. As a matter of fact these classes have been making; gains during the past few weeks, duo to the special Summer membership privileges. The business men's "gym" clauses were never more prosperous than at presenL Volley ball has been taken up and the enthusiasm over the game has developed into e craze. Every noon and evening it is played in the big gymnasium and attracts interest of spectators as well as players. A canoe trip from Salem to Portland on May 29 and a relay race between the same cities on June 7 are helping to keep up interest in the physical department. The educational department also will have an unusual Summer. All of the classes for which there is demand will remain In session without any inter mission. This means that practically all branches of both the day anTnight schools will have no vacation this year, although, of course, there will be some falling off in attendance. The religious werk department also is having1 a busy season. The lecture course of Dr. John H. Boyd will end next Saturday, but other religious work clubs and classes will meet regularly during the Summer. No thought has been given as yet to a discontinuance of the Sunday meetings, although there may be a brief period when they will not be held. "More than half as many men already have taken advantage of our special Summer memberships this year as did during all of last Summer." said W. B. Piatt, membership secretary. "It prom, ises to be a record season." Cherry Tree Grafting Successful. MONMOUTH. Or., May 20. (Special.) A. M.
