TarentTeaehen Associations SANTA GLAUS was so busy this year that he enlisted the aid of ever so many of the Portland boys and girls, bcores of little people would have no Christmas if it were not for the assist ance of these clever, diligent children of the public schools. ".""The Portland Parent-Teacher Associ ation has a social service department, of which Mrs. C. W. Hayhurst Is chair man. The association also has a com mittee of friendly visitors. Mrs. G. L. Buland is chairman. These committees laid the plans to guide the lads and lassies in helping old Santa. The so cial service bureau Is located In the Central building, room 412. So, in every district, the dolls that "sister" had outgrown were gathered . tip and sent to the domestic art classes. There the girls dressed them in the daintiest and smartest of frocks. The toys that were no longer needed and the books that had been read were an sent to the social service rooms, which Boon presented the appearance of a really truly toy shop. There were daintily wrapped pack ages from the Davis School, with a "Merry Christmas" and some appropri ate little messages in each. Bounte ous gifts from Irvlngton, Highland and, in fact, from every school in the city were In evidence. Then there came, from every district the friendly visitors who had read the minds of the poor children In their dis tricts and knew Just what each child wanted and knew, too, that Santa Claus delegated the visitors to repre sent him. They took a big auto and loaded it with the bright toys, dolls, books and lovely things that were meant for the children who otherwise might have been forgotten. Yesterday this distribution of gifts commenced and it will continue from 10 o'clock this morning until 5 o'clock tonight. Woodstock.

DoniS J3ZAKES JDVZGE. They're Not Engaged. "Dear Miss Blake: I am a young man of 22 and have been keeping com pany with a girl two and a half years my Junior for about three years. I have been working away from my home town for quite a while, but made regu lar visits home. When away she goes out with other fellows, but I don't mind that, as I don't happen to be of a Jealous disposition. We are not en gaged, neither of us believing in long engagements, but we have often talked of getting martled. On my last visit home a young man of my own age, an old chum of hers from a dis tant city, also was visiting at her home. The girl and I went out as usual, and on our way home she said she was going to be real mean and sund me right home, as she was very tired. I said all right, but after having gone a short distance I found I had forgotten my raincoat and started back for it. On returning I found this young man, although0!?' was a late hour, had not retired, but had waited for her. They had not heard me, but I could see all that was going on through the glass door. 1 watched a while and was go ing In, but was afraid something would happen that I would be sorry for later on, as I kjiow when I get angry I do things I cannot account for. Did I do wrong in watching? I love the girt dearly and she always said I was the only one and that all the rest were Just fY tends. What would you advise me to do? R. B." You would have saved yourself much unhappiness if you had gone in imme diately, but since you did not I see no reason why you should be worried about what you did. Of course the boy would wait up until his hostess came home. There was nothing wrong In that, neither was It anything more than courteous for her to sit up and talk to him until you returned. Unless you saw them doing something which makes you think that they are In love with one another I see no reason why you should feel yourself mistreated. Hs an Orphan. "Dear Miss Blake : I am a young man attending professional college and have two years more before finishing my course. I have no parents and am working my own way through school. I am in love with the only daughter of wealthy parents who I think cares for me. Would it be advisable to become engaged or married and ask for as sistance, or continue to battle my own way? I have been invited to her home several times, and her parents seem to care a little for me. L. K., Jr." It would be entirely unjust of you to ask the girl to marry you when you have no prospect of being able to pro vide a home for her. Fight your own way through school and then ask her to marry you when you are able to give her a good home. I should think that your pride would keep you from being willing to accept not only ' your liveli hood but your education also at the hands of the girl's parents. How Billy Plg'a Tail Was Curled.' (tXT HERE are you going, Billy W Goat?" asked Bill Pig one morning as Billy Goat was passing the garden where he was working. "Oh, I am going to the barber's to have my whiskers trimmed a bit and have an extra curl put In my horns," replied Billy Goat. "You better come along If you are going to the party over at Spotty Pig's tonight." So he dropped his hoe. and without tolling, bla mother where ha was colas; SET AT NATIONAL CAPITAL. went along with Billy Goat to the bar ber's. Now, the barber was old Mr. Dog, and when he say Billy Pig coming along with Billy Goat he was very much pleased, for never before had a pig been to his shop, although he had tried many times to have one of them come In and have a curl put- in his tali. . Billy Pig watched Billy Goat while Mr. Dog trimmed his whiskers and then curled his horns, although Billy Pig could not see that Billy Goat's horns curled one bit more than when he sat down in Mr. Dog's chair. He did not wish to be impolite, though, so he said he thought Billy Goat looked very fine, indeed, and if he could look half as well himself, he should feel repaid for coming. "You will look handsomer," whis pered the flattering Mr. Dog. "I should not want Billy Goat to hear me say so, but you are a much finer looking fellow than Billy Goat, and when you get your tail curled he will be terribly jealous, I expect." Billy Fig sat down feeling a little frightened, even with all of Mr. Dog's assurance that It would hurt only the least bit, if at alL All the time Mr. Dog went on talk ing and telling him what a beautiful tail be had to curl. And then something happened, for Mr. Dog had been heating the curling iron all this time, and when it was hot enough he wound Billy Pig's tail around it. Billy Pig squealed loud enough to be heard a mile and Jumped, and Billy Goat, who was standing outside wait ing, poked his head in the door to see what had happened, and out come Billy Pig, bumping into him and over they rolled on the ground. Mr. Dog burned his paw when Billy Pig Jumped, and he was barking as loud as he could, telling Billy Pig he was a careless fellow to jump and spoil everything when it would have only hurt one little bit longer. When Billy Pig and Billy Goat got on their feet again Billy Pig kept dancing about and squealing with pain. "Come in here," called Mr. Dog. "If you had not jumped you wuold be all right now. I was just going to put something on so you would not feel the hurt when you Jumped." "Your tall is curled." said Billy Goat: "It looks a little red, but It is curled." Billy Pig stopped squealing when he heard this and tried to look at it. "Come in and look in the mirror," said Mr. Dog, "and I assure you I will not hurt you again." Billy Pig went In slowly, but, kept his face toward Mr. Dog. His tail was curled, but the pain was not gone, and Billy Pig was not sure it ever would. "Don't you think It looks hand some?" asked Mr. Dog. "Yes," answered Billy Pig, "but It hurts a great deal to look handsome; I would rather have it straight." "Your tail will never uncurl," said Mr. Dog. "It will curl naturally all the rest of your days, and you should be very grateful to me for making you such a handsome fellow." "I may feel that way tomorrow," said Billy- Pig, as he walked away, "but I don't know." (Copyright, 1914. by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, New York City.)

MYERS SANTA'S AIDE POSTMASTER. RESCUES IOST TOTS AND ADDRESSES PARCELS. Sta hi Sales Gain $1652 Over Day's Rec ord Last Year, and Parcel Post Basilicas Increases. Stamp sales at the Portland Postofflce yesterday were $8252. They were $6600 December 21, 1913, or a gain for the day in 1914 of $1652. Testerdaya total receipts were $8SS9, and the record es tablished Saturday for parcel post busi ness was broken. - Klght parcel post windows will be kept open through the day until after the Christmas rush, and parcel post packages will be received till midnight. Stamps already canceled are being sold to save time in the mailing division. Postmaster Myers has delegated unto himself the Job of first assistant to Santa Claus in Portland, and Assistant Postmaster Durand has volunteered to act as second assistant to the benefi cent saint of Yuletlde. They took their positions early last week and until late Christmas eve they will be in the lobby of the Postofflce, performing the same function that floorwalkers do in the department stores. Their adventures have included everything from addressing packages for pretty young women whose gloved hands were too cold to finding lost children. A mother rushed frantically up and down the lobby Saturday afternoon, ob viously seeking something. "Can I be of any assistance? asked Postmaster Myers. "Oh, yes," she said, "I've lost Harold and I can't find him any place. Harold, who was about 3 years old, was found beneath one of the long mailing tables that run down the cen ter of the lobby. He waa gazing unblinkingly at a stately policeman who stood near one of the stamp windows and seemed be wildered at the sudden show of affec tion lavished on him by his mother, from whom he had been separated only two or three minutes. "Uncle" George Seaton, who protects the Postofflce at night, is a busy at tache from about 7 P. M. until mid night, as the shop clerks and others find that their only time to dispatch their own parcels. G RES HAM TO REBUILD SOON Brick Structures to Replace Those Destroyed fcy rire.
