The work undertaken by a commit tee of women under the direction of the Episcopal Social Service League among the women prisoners at the County Jail is progressing with favor able results. An afternoon spent at needlework, in which all who choose may take part, a good book read and discussed and later refreshments served by the vis iting women, make up an afternoon once or twice a week, which, aside from its purpose of providing a few hours of happy diversion for all, has opened up new avenues for more inti mate acquaintance of the individual needs of the women. Homes and em ployment have been procured and med ical attention provided in anumber of cases. The personal needs of the outgoing prisoners are many, as most of them are homeless and need clothing. A number of kind-hearted people have contributed to these needs, the Sheriff himself having personally bought clothing for some upon their release. The quarters are sanitary and well kept, and the atmosphere harmonious among prisoners and officers, which bears out the report of the grand jury of December, January and February, in which favorable comment was made on these conditions. It is the hope of the league to es tablish eventually a home to which the women may come In the interval between their release and time of pro curing employment, and any who wish to assist in this worthy work may do so by calling up the chairman of the committee.

"A book by, the most talked-about writer of the present day, I think I should call him. He is writing about the petty tryrannles of home-life, and says it is not a natural way to live.", "Humph!" growled the Bachelor. "And what method of living does he advo cate?" "He doesn't advocate anything radi cal. He just wants home-life improved in some particulars. And when you think of it abstractly and not dulled by familiarity, as it now is. It certainly has some queer features." "For Instance?" Inquired the Bache lor. "Well, for one thing, all the members of a family have to eat at one time and practically the same things; time and things usually decided by the one who dominates the family life. I'll admit as things are today it is a condition that can't be remedied; but, neverthe less, It is a sort of petty tyranny. Then again, temperament, not laziness, may make it more enjoyable for some mem bers of the family to stay up till mid night and arise at noon. But think of the complaints and scoldings and gen eral disagreements such a course would produce in any well-regulated family." The Bachelor listened attentively. "Then, take the matter, of sleeping. This writer tells of a wife who wants a well-ventilated bedroom. The hus band wants the windows open a mere crack. This Is another case of petty tyranny. One or the other must give in or there are continual squabbles. Yet the point of difference is in reality of no Importance" whatever. Family life is full of these opportunities for petty tyrannies, between husband and wife, between parents and children, be tween brothers and sisters. And, there fore, he says. It is not a natural life. Life should be fsee of such little unim portant handicaps. And family life should be adjusted so there would be no opportunity for the members of a family . to rule each other in these ways." "I do not say that family life as it is lived today is perfect," replied the Bachelor, "and no doubt in some fam ilies there are tyrants, but it seems to me that family life as he would have it would make for supreme selfishness. There would be no gtve or take In It, no adjustment, no compromise, no get ting tho other fellow's point of view ana thus a broader point of view. Fam ily life, when it is lived where love rules, makes the members of the family gentle, considerate, thoughtful, unsel fish. Family life as he would live it would, it seems to me, make one even more tyrannical than the present petty tyrannies he speaks of. One would have one's own way supremely; where as in most families, unless some one member is a very strong tyrant, in deed, and the rest unusually docile, there is a give and take, a readjust ment to the point of view of others that is beneficial. Personal liberty in family life is a good thing, but it Is always very easy to carry personal liberty too far. In his style of family life every member of the family might easily be come a tyrant." "But wouldn't that be better than to have one mercilessly rule all?" "That is not necessary, either. Let love rule all and petty tyrannies will vanish." TarentTeaehep Associations HUDSON PARENT-TEACHER ASSO CIATION will meet Thursday aft ernoon at 3 o'clock. An interesting paper will be read by Mrs. J.

DRENCHED with the warm floods of the morning sunshine, Colum bia's campus laughed and - sparkled. Students were strolling from one clois tered building to another for their recitations and lectures. Care-free co eds laughed and gossiped as they went. Marian crossed wistfully to t.ie campus, a flood of her own college memories rippling out of the past. To what woman who has been, a collegian do the self-same mocking memories not come from time to time, transporting her. half against her will, from a sordid present to those won drous days which stud the curtain of the past lik flaming jewels! Details of that pleasant life back at her Middle Western college rushed into the funnel of Marian's retrospective thoughts. Its gleaming ideals; its vague, brilliant hopes for the future; its aloofness and refinement; Its shel tered remoteness from the common herd of human beings in the struggling world; its flashes of recurring ro mance; its proms and parties; its cam pus trysts, with athletes as handsome as young gods such were the remem bered pictures which the mental film sent spinning through her brain as she sat and watched the campus picture before her. One memory in particular re-etched Itself into her mind. Once it had been her ambition to marry some university instructor and to become part and parcel as the years rolled on of the serene social life of a college commu nity. Her ambition had never fastened itself with definite eye upon any par ticular faculty member. One or two, she remembered dimly, there were with whom she might have fallen in love had chance propinquity afforded its assistance. But, somehow, the dream had died. Instead, she had hastily married Frank, whose interests were centered in the hardware business, who sentenced her to dwell in an uninteresting city, until it came to pass that her smashed illu sions and mental misery caused her to seek and find relief In divorce. "Good morning. Miss Winthrop," said a voice, startling Marian out of her reflections. The speaker was Miss Barker, the Bostonian, sister of the man whose brown -eyes and pleasant attentions had helped beguile Marian's dreariness in the Big Town.

"I usu ally come this way on my mornlngr constitutional, so I've not exactly been shadowing you. A college campus looks beautiful on a morning like this, doesn't it? Takes me back to Welles ley and makes me wretchedly home sick." "I've just been so homesick myself for old days," rejoined Marian, "that if it hadn't been for your arrival In the nick of time you might have found me in the act of shedding a silly tear or two." "Shed away," laughed the other. "A tear in time saves ninety and nine." "It often seems to me," said Marian reflectively, "that going to college un fits a girl for contact with the real world more than anything else could possibly do. A college campus has s. way of building Ideals that are almost certain to get knocked Into a cocked hat." "I agree with you." sighed Miss Barker. "The bumps that come after a girl's graduation hurt all tho more be cause college has made her a highly sensitive being. The world is so crude that it's no place for the sensitive." "Do you believe that sensitiveness Is merely a sign of vanity?" asked Ma rian. "I should say not. Sensitiveness comes with refinement. It is a reac tion against crudeness, bad manners and ignorance. Believe me, the truly happy and contented people are the lowbrows and roughnecks, if you'll al low me to use two very expressive terms." And so the campus confidences rambled on. Advice, - WALLA WALLA. Wash., May 19. Dear Miss Blake: I am a young girl 16 years old and I have come to you for advice. First Am I too young to go places with some of my boy friends with no serious intentions toward me? When you answer the question please give a few reasons. ' Second Another question is this: My folkthink that I am not capable of taking care of myself at all. Please tell me a few ways that I could prove to them that I am. One more question of minor import ance is: Third A young girl and boy had been going together for ' some time, -with no apparent intention of marriage. Later they moved to differ ent towns. The girl. In the new town, met many other young men, but did not seem to care to associate with them. She could not like them as she had the other boy. She then decided she loved him. This boy, however, did not seem to think anything at all about her. Should the girl try to forget her love for him, or what could she do to show him that she loved him? They have never had any correspondence. Hoping to see the answers in The Oregonian. V. S. Answer. First Tou should not go to places with young men without your mother's consent. You are too young to be in dependent of your mother's advice and supervision. Second Your mother and father know best whether you are capable of taking care of yourself. You will save yourself lots -of trouble and heartaches by being guided by their advice. Be loving and obedient to them and you will be happier in the long run than by following your own ideas, which are not based upon long experience. Make your mother your confidant and your best friend. Third A young girl's Idea of love is rather hazy and usually founded upon Imagination or fiction. There Is no harm in boy and girl friendships, but a 16-year-old girl should not be thinking too much about love affairs. There Is no harm in writing the young man a friendly letter, but young men usually like to do their own wooing and if he is fond of you he will let you know it. Talk over your" troubles with your mother. Roseburg Charter Overruled'. ROSEBURG, Or., May 26. (Special.)
