Cake.
It was a full house at the old
Heilig Theater yesterday afternoon,
full to overflowing. Every seat was
taken and dozens of women stood
against the wall or in the lobby during
the time in which Mrs. Kate B. Vaughn
Save her talk on "Food." demonstrated
the use of the fireless cooker and made
an appetizing, nourishing salad, a
dainty and delicious cake and some of
her famous "Dixie biscuits."
The third day of the cooking school
and domestic science lecture course
that is being conducted this week un
der the auspices of The Oregonian was
a bigger success even than were the
two days preceding.
That the women are sincerely In
terested in home making and In learn
ing the art of cooking intelligently Is
clearly demonstrated by the enthusi
astic manner In which they receive
Mrs. Vaughn's advice.
"If woman would give as much time
to studying food values as she does to
studying fashions, the families would
be healthier and happier," said Mrs.
Vaughn.
"The woman who chooses and cooks
the meals is the chemist of the house
bold. Her kitchen is the laboratory. If
.he selects wisely she receives back as
Interest, health, harmony and happi
ness in her home." Continuing, Mrs.
Vaughn said: "Much of the crime. Im
morality and degeneracy of the world
comes from persistent wrong feeding."
In speaking of the necessity for
mothers to teach their children about
the values of foods and digestion and
many other things, Mrs. Vaughn got
hearty applause when she said, "I
don't believe the schoolroom is the
place where the children should be
taught the beautiful story of creation
or of digestion. The teacher must sup
plement the home teaching, but it is
the mother's duty to teach her own
children these things. Make a confi
dante of your child. Be his or her best
friend and chum."

DEBUT IN "THE WHIP
IS HELPFUL TO CRITIC
Leone Cass Baer Tells Thrill of Ride in Coach to Wreck Reality of
Train Disaster Uncanny Production of Race Track Scene Stupendous.
BY LEONE CASS BAER.
SOMEONE once asked the late Rich
ard Mansfield if he thought per
sonal experience In a thing were
necessary to portray it and Mansfield
said: "Er well not exactly. My
death scenes are said to be good, but
1 assure you I have never died."
It is an exploded theory that one
has to know anything about anything
to write about it. That man who wrote
10,000,000 stories about the sea had
never seen a body of water larger than
the bathtub, and the woman who wrote
a book on how to rear children never
possessed one. and the woman cynic
who wrote most about the general
cussedness of husbands never had one.
So there you are!
They got away with it, but most of
cs believe it Is better to have at least
a bowing acquaintance with your sub
ject. All of which leads up to the an
nouncement that from now on I shall
feel better qualified to splash In print
about scenery. For I made my debut
as a piece of scenery, & bit of local
atmosphere, at the Heilig Theater last
night in "The Whip." I was in four
mob scenes and had a heavy-thinking
role in one of the 99 acts. Also I rode
In the day-coach-ohly since it's an
English play, it really was a carriage.
To get into it is, I "fawncy," much like
clambering into the real thing. Per
sonally I prefer our own made-in-American
brand. I was boosted up on
a. narrow shelf running the length of
the wooden carriage and seated in a
queer little compartment with a per
fectly strange man sitting opposite. He
was just like all the men one meets
on trains, for he began to talk to me
before the conductor yelled all aboard.
Only instead of offering me the paper,
he yelled: "For heaven's sake, ma'am,
sit where the audience can see yez."
So I moved up against the two-by-two
window and found myself peering
Into a set of audience faces, while
7.000,000 miles of hand-painted hills
and dales and forests primeval rolled
nnisly past my left ear. A whistle
shrieked and wailed its message into
the darkness that we were prancing
along on the track, lights on the fast
revolving wheels made the audience
believe it and a cloud of steam hissed
above us to imitate smoke. Right be
hind my carriage compartment sat the
villain. a dy sd-in-the-mustache Sir
Francis Levison, an, though I glued
my eyes on the top of my companion's
nose and mumbled miles of meaning
less wcrds in an attempt at the "bright
conversation" which the stage director
had told us to appear to carry on, I
was dying with curiosity to turn around
and watch the villain. I knew that
he hod climbed out of his section along
the platform to the car following ours.
In it was "The Whip," a real horse,
who has the title role of the play and
never gets a penny for her histrionic
art. and is the only actress I've met
who wasn't objecting to something.
My companion kicked me niftily tn
my shins and mouthed "Now, don't
screech we're goin' to cut loose." By
which I knew that the villain had done
the dirty deed and poor Dobbin's car
had been left on the track for the al
ways on-rushlng midnight express to
knock the pie out of. Which isn't good
English, but I'm rebellious. I heard
nothing but good English all evening.
From the balcony I watched the iron
painted monster roar down the track,
two alert men pulled some strings and
the horse box fell into splinters, while
the electrician set off an explosion that
was uncomfortably real. The horse, I
may mention, had been taken out of
the car. It's in the plot for the hero
and heroine to rescue him just before
the wreck. The train always waits
obligingly off the stage. And after the
of 'a clean, crisp . cabbage and made
a most attractive as well as sensible
dish, which was passed around for the
inspection of the assemblage.
At today's session Mrs. Vaughn will
explain the processes of digestion and
will use the chicken cooked in -the
fireless cooker yesterday as a means
of demonstrating how left-over foods
may be served to obviate waste.

State Campaign Today.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Oct. 21. (Special.) The Young Women's
Christian Association of the University
of Oregon will institute a state-wide
financial campaign for $300, beginning
tomorrow. This is the first time that
the association has had a full-time sec
retary, and it has been fortunate in
securing Miss Mary Gillies, a graduate
of Occidental College and just from the
National Y. W. C. A. Training School In
New York City.
"Acquaintance" parties have been
held and weekly meetings are led by
interesting speakers. The budget of
the association for this year is more
than $1200, all of which has been pro
vided for except the S300, which the
young women are trying to raise in
subscriptions. This money will aid in
keeping up the Bungalow, which is the
headquarters of the Y. W. C. A. a mis
sionary pledge and sending delegates to

Grades of Wheat Advance
One to Two Cents,
There was an all-around advance In wheat
prices yesterday in the local market and at
country points. At the Merchants Ex
change, bids were 1 to 2 cents higher than
on Tuesday. Country markets generally
were a cent higher.
The demand was strong and farmers, as
a rule, were disposed to meet buyers, with
the result that trading was of large pro
portions. The buying was chiefly for Euro
pean account, but millers also bought freely.
Oriental Inquiry for red wheat ' continues,
and flour business with the Far East has
also been marked. English cables reported
the sale of a cargo of wheat at an advance
over the price realized Tuesday.
Spot bluestem wheat sold yesterday at
$1.12. and $1.15 was paid for December de
livery. Bluestem prices are still short of
the high mark of the year,, as during the
August flurry 65,000 bushels of bluestem
sold here at 1.16. This is the record
price since the Letter year. At the Mer
chants Exchange session buyers offered
$1.10 for spot bluestem and sellers asked
$1.12. For last half of November bluestem.
$1.11 was bid.
Club changed hands in the country during
the day at equal to $1.06. At the Kxchauge,
$1.04 was offered for spot and $1.06 tor
ovember club. Forty-fold also brought
more money at interior points, sales being
made on the basis of $1.09 Coast, but buyers
on the floor of the Exchange did not bid
over $1.07. Red Russian was held at $1
on spot, the price bid for December delivery. I
Oats and barley were also higher. For i
October and November oats $27.25 was of- !
fered, an advance of 50 cents over the
previous days price. The oats market in
tne country is very firm.

WOOIs TRADING . IS OS INCREASE
Demand at Boston Especially Keen for
Foreign Cro&sbreds. 4
There is more unanimity of sentiment as
to the r market for the immediate future
than was apparent last week, says the Bos
ton Commercial Bulletin. Current trading
has been of larger proportions beyond any
doubt, demand baving been especially keen
for foreign crossbred wools. Domestic wools
have also been In better request and the
market is firmer, particularly for medium
to low woola
When one seeks a forecast of the more
remote future, he finds a great divergence
of opinion, although it seems to be the fact
that there are a greater number who be
lieve that the advent of cheap wools from
the primary markets is to be postponed
longer than was at first thought probable;
notwithstanding a full schedule of sales
dates has been cabled from Australia this
week.
Our cable states that the British govern
ment has extended the wool embargo, but it
would appear that wool tops and yarns of
merino grades might be exported still under
special licenses. Whether or not such li
censee would be Issued would, of course,
depend on the circumstances in the indi
vidual case.
EASTERN CRANBERRIES ARE HIGHER
California Tokay Grapes Sell mt Advance.
'Oranges Moving Upward,
A car of Jersey cranberries arrived
yesterday. They are long keepers and were
quoted firm at $9 a barrel.
A car of Cal if orn ia Tokay grapes, the
last to be shipped before the rain, was re
ceived and put on sale at $1.10 a crate.
The grape market is decidedly firm. Tokays
are now 20 cents higher than two weeks
ago.
The orange market is firm with an up
ward tendency. Prices in the south have
again advanced a quarter. Fancy -rades
are quoted at $3.25 and choice at $3. Firm
prices will prevail until navels are in. There
is still a steady demand for medium-priced
apples.
Part of a car of'Xos Angeles head let
tuce was received and sold well at $2 a
crate.
A car of California walluts was isiribut
ed. No. 1 walnuts are quoted at 19
2o cents, according to quantity, and fancy

Estimate of European Hop Crop.
A cable received yesterday from Saaz, via
Rotterdam, stated that the Continental hop
crop thin year amounts to SO0.00O cwt A
London cable reported that market easier
and lower.
Buying in the local market has slowed
down again. The Frank S. Johnson Com
pany bought a carload, at Laurel and a car
at Butteville, also 220 bales from dealers.
Poultry Supply Is Short.
Poultry receipts yesterday were short of
the demand and the market was very firm.
Hens and Springs sold at 134 914 cents.
Turkeys, ducks and geese also moved readl.
ly at current prices. Dressed meats held
steady, although receipts were larger.
The egg market was firm, with candled

EXPORT TRADE HUGE

FARMERS 'SELLING FREELY
World's Available Supply Total In
crease Is Less Than Tear Ago.
Supplies Afloat for Europe
Have Also Fallen Off.
CHTCAOO Oct. 21. Huge export sales
at rising prices gave the wheat market an
lnovannra of rrtat atrenrth. Th finish.
although somewhat unsettled, ranged from
1 to 1 cents net higher. com ciowvu
lc up. and oats with a gain of 1 and
1 ik cents. In provisions the outcome was
2 Vi to 597 cents decline.
Estimates -ere current that 59 per cent
of the farm surplus of wheat in the lead-
in states, exclusive of North ua-cota, naa
already been sent to market. Partly as a
result of this showing, cash what too ay
was relatively stronger than futures, there
being a reduction of 1 cent In the discount
as compared with recent figures. The bulls
were also assisted by the fact that the
world's available supply total did not show
as large an Increase as at the corresponding
time a year ago. and that supplies an oat
for Europe had fallen off to a notable ex
tent.
Disappointment at husking returns had
considerable to do with the advance In the
corn market.
Unabated demand from the seaboard put
backbone Into quotations for oats.
Provisions averaged lower. Influenced
mainly by a break in the hog market.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

NEW YORK, Oct. 21. Heavy purchase ot
various commodities and general merchan
dise in this country by agents of several
European countries now at war have become
a decided factor in tne loretgn situation.
Cable and slrbt drafts un London declined
again today, but rallied slightly later as
offerings of bills grew scarcer. At today's
lowest quotations, London exchange was al
most 4 cents lower to the pound sterling
than in the early days of the month.
Continental exchange was again purely
nominal, but quotations on tterun ana idaxn
burg were lower. In this connection, it Is
a matter of general belief In financial circles
that German textile manufacturers have
been among the largest buyers of cotton nere
recently, but just bow or when deliveries

Dl&lned Exports of cotton today amounted td over
20.000 bales, three-fourths going to British
porta, with large consignments to the Orient.
Thus far this season, total cotton exports
aggregate little more than one-sixth of last
season's outflow.
The feature of several markets tn which
securities are being offered was another
reduction in the minimum price recently
fixed for oil stock.
