"Fit the type of the garden to the type of the people who are to enjoy It and the house it is to surround," said Mr. Colburn. "I consider the Japan ese style of garden one of the highest types. It is consistent. It has as its inspiration the tea ceremonial and the teahouse usually centers the area where the garden is arranged." Mr. Colburn said, in quoting from an authority, that true taste in every art consists more in adapting tried expe diting to peculiar circumstances than in inordinate thirst for novelty. He traced the history of gardens of the various stages of civilization, tellling of the style affected by the Egyptians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, ' English of different centuries, French and finally told of the American typs and of how they had been influenced by the otHers. The Spanish type is noted in Cali fornia, the aristocratic English in Vir ginia, further North is the neat, com pact style of the Dutch and the utili tarian variety of the Puritan garden. In the vicinity of Salem. Mass., the old custom of the division of land to the members of the family as they were married, resulted, the speaker pointed out. in the long narrow strip-shaped gardens. Mr. Colburn advocated the placing of houses rather near the street and the beautification of the back yards. He ursred simplicity of taste in choosing the yard adornment and gar den planning. His talk was instruc tive ani interesting, although given most Informally. Many of the mem bers asked questions and discussed lo cal garden conditions after the lecture. Representatives of the various Port land chapters of the P. E. L. Sisterhood will meet for luncheon at noon today In the tearoom at Olds, Wortman & King's.

Self-Appointed Rulers of Shelter "Hog" AH Comforts and Food for Members of Agitating Body and Do Not Go to Work. Morf than 600 unemployed men, who are housed in the Gipsy Smith Taber nacle, will hold a protest meeting at 8 o'clock tonight to try to oust the In dustrial Workers of the World from their present management of the place. The I. W. W., who number a few more than 200, are charged with favoring their own members in all arrangements of the shelter house, and with treating unfairly the men who do not belong to their organization. The men who will attempt at the meeting to throw out the I. W. W. com mitteemen from the committees assert that the five members of the executive board at the tabernacle are I. W. W.. that the ten members of the floor com mittee are also of the same organiza tion, and that the men not connected with the Industrial Workers are un able to get proper food, attention or sleeping quarters. "Although Mayor Albee probably "does not know it, he has done more toward turning 600 men away from the I. W. W. by allowing them to associate with the I. W. W. than could all the speak ers and newspapers in the world. We have seen how the Industrial Workers hog all the comforts in sight, and force other unfortunates to take all the leav ings," said one of the working men in the place. I. W. W. In Authority. "There are five members of the ex ecutive board, and Foley, who is their head, is an I. W. W., and so are all the others. They have charge of the cooks and flunkies, and they have run in 30 other I. W. W. on these jobs. They also govern the hustling committees, who get donations for the support of the men at the tabernacle. On the floor committee are ten men, all I. W. W. "Recently Mrs. H. Weinhard sent 30 pounds of sugar to the place, and some one else sent a quantity of tobacco. I saw the I. W. W. committeemen take the tobacco and the others did not get any of it. "There is plenty of food, andit could be well cooked and served if they wished to do it. but they do not- The best of the food was kept for them. Some of the committeemen do nothing else but eat, and smoke the tobacco which merchants have given. "When the rock work was opened, only men from the 600 workers in the place went there. Even lieat Is Monopolized. "Two stoves in the place are fenced off. and on the fences is a sign saying that the stoves are for committeemen only. There are two barbers and one shoemaker in the pjace, but the men who don't belong to the L W. W. can't get a shave or have their boots repaired. In the breakfast line the I. W. W. how their membership cards and get full helpings, while wo get little, and that usually uncooked. Lsgot a bit of salmon tonight, the size of two fingers, nd so full of salt that I could not eat it. They are trying to drive out the onest workmen, and make the place hangout for the I. W. W. There are about 50 yeggs and punks in the place, too. Further than this, the executive committee tonight announced they would collect all money and .contrlbu tions, and that others suould not col lect. They have received much money and "food that never got to the work ing men in the crowd. ' To change such alleged conditions, the protest meeting will be held to night.

Colburn Spenks Before Lun- eheon of Arts and Crafts Society at Woman's Exchaoge. Kleetlon Boards Proposed as Boards of Relief to Look After Distressed Families In Locality. Klrm in the belief that the only suc cessful relief work is that which is participated in by the entire county and not a few charitably In clined, Commissioner Holman has sug gested a plan which he believes will distribute the burden evenly and prove more advantageous to those who are in need of help. As a basis of his plan he proposed that as far as possible every community in the county shall take care of Its own needy and des titute, and only In the event that this task proves too heavy outside aid be asked. To localize the relief work as much as possible Mr. Holman proposes to ask every precinct in the county to do all it can to paovide for those In that precinct who may be in need When the poorer districts, where there are more who' are in need, are unable to take care of those in their districts, then he proposes that they call on an other community where the residents are more able to give and where there are not as many who need assistance. To secure leaders in each precinc Mr. Holman has found, he says, is I hard task. He said yesterday that he had decided to ask the election board in each precinct, as soon as the boards are appointed, to organize as a board of relief and look after the destitute families in that immediate locality The election boards will be named in a few days, he said. "There are many homeless men in town who are in need of food and shelter," Mr. Holman said, "but there are many more who 'have homes and families who may be out of work fo the time and who are in need. I have found such families in my neighbor hood, and there are such families in every neighborhood I presume." CC. COLBURN, landscape engineer, j spoke yesterday at the luncheon of the Arts and Crafts Society at the Woman's Exchange, taking as his sub- I iect "the History of Gardens."
