THE HORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, - TANFARY 18, 1915. 1 NEEDLE TO REPLACE TEAS DURING LENT Society Matrons and Maids to Knit for Soldiers at Front for 40-Day Period. BUSY SEASON IS OUTLINED Mufflers Are Popular Handiwork, but Few Debutantes Try Socks. Smart Set Abuzz With Plans for Charitable Tasks. Click, click, click! Knitting needles irill fly during Lent. Society maids are preparing to give up cards and dancing and devote the 40 days of the 1-enten season to knitting lor soldiers and doing charitable work for those whom fortune has not favored. Kver since last September, when the frlrls of the smart set came back from the seashore and mountain resorts and from trips in the Kast and abroad, knitting has been popular, but during the season that begins February 17, knitting will be the greatest of all social accomplishments. Unless one has become mistress of the art by the time Ash Wednesday arrives, she will not be considered at all "smart" or "correct." Need Abroad Considered. Such is the decree of the leaders among the younger exclusive set. At a tea recently at the home of the British consul, instructions in knitting were distributed that the girls might make their handimork in accord with the practical rules that prevail In the countries engaged in the conflict abroad. Miss Violet Erskine, the at tractive young daughter of Consul and Mrs. Thomas Erskine, is deft with the knitting needles. In fact the prettiest and most popular girls are the most enthusiastic in the work that will be the popular diversion of Lent. Scores of teas for the English, Amer ican and German Red Cross societies liave been given in the past few months, but these will not continue from February IT until Easter. Thimble bees and muffler-knitting afternoons will replace the pre-Lenten functions. Mufflers Are Made. "We have been making the mufflers In gray wools." said Miss Malzie Mac Master, "but In Canada the girls are using the olive drab, as it is the same color as the uiforms. Miss MacMaster. with her parents and sister. Miss Ailsa MacMaster, was In Kurope when the war commenced and the famllv has many Iriends in me armies of the allies. Miss Claire Wilcox, a statuesque beauty and one of the most graceful dancers in Portland society, is en thuslastlc over knitting. "Whv everyone knits mufflers now, aid Miss Wilcox. "Certainly, they wniil.l not think of doing fancy work for the practical work has taken Its ttlfl.ee" Mlss Isabella Gauld. another prom inent society maid, also is an expert with the needle. She. often knits in stead of playing bridge. Many of her coterie of friends meet during the afternoons and wherever they go, carry with them their dainty workDags con taining wool and needles. Socks Tried by Some. , -All the society girls of Portland are Interested in some charity or work that is worth while." said Mrs. Joseph v Teni "There are many splendid -unselfish young people with whom the social gatherings are merely inciueu--and these are all among those who are working, either for tnose in neeu. for those affected by the war. Thos -a--, cin't Vnit are doing other things. A few of the girls are trying their .vni in maJclnsr socks. But! Socks v....i n ninn and mufflers are all most of them can master. Some of the debutantes haven't acquired the habit yet. but it is in the air ana aireauj Lenten resolutions are being made. Before all else, however, will come the skating party next Friday In be half of the Day Nursery, conducted by the Fruit and Flower Mission. Next on milady's calendar is the ball to be given at Multnomah Hotel, Jan uary 25 with the Woman's Exchange a, the beneficiary.

They say some of the dancing steps staged at recent high scjiooi functions have caused a tilt between school teachers and pupils. About a year ago, at the instance oi the Methodist ministers of Portland, the School Board ruled all forms of dancing, including the folk steps, out of the public school curricula, except in the first, second and third graoes, where folk song games have been per mitted under the tutelage, of Robert Krohn. head of the, physical training department in the public schools. 'So far as I know not a dancing step has been taught In the schools since the order of the Board about a year ago," said Mr. Krohn yesterday. The School Board does permit the use of the school assembly hall for dan cing under proper chaperonage, but this Is entirely independent of the school programme." Halt Called on "Step." At the social high school dances It is usual to place one number on the programme that allows consmeraDie atitude to Individual adaptation, xnis, In distinction from the waltzes and two-steps. Is named "step and, in an ticipation of the free rein that is in variably allowed during this music every swain is certain to book his sweetheart, . Occasionally when this dance is in progress a few couples are yanked" on 'cause'' determined by the chaperons, whose duty it is to keep watch to prevent "ragging" or too much of the hesitation variety. At one of the recent large dances such a. wave of enthusiasm swept the entire floor that it was necessary to stop the music and deny a continuation despite the clamor raised by the high school stu dents. They were forced to listen to a lecture as well. These school dances are closed promptly at 11:30 o'clock that the hall may be vacated before midnight. Board Checks Dance. Nothing but a total abstinence of dancing will entirely eliminate 'rag ging,' " said Lola G. Baldwin yesterday. But the dancing today is of a better tone now than ever before. This is due to the provisions in our law for ln- nection of public dancing ana ior ine registration of all dancing pavilions. As a result of the success of our law, officials in many states and large cities are sending for copies of it." Xot many weeks ago complaint about alleged objectionable dancing In many of the public school buildings at so called school dances caused the school authorities to place further restric tions on the use of school buildings for entertainment purposes. Previous to this ruling protests poured in from all sides that unpleasant features marked many of the dances in the school build ings and that it was almost impossible to limit what many parents deemed "careless innovations." These were not official school dances but were purposely so-called by their promoters, who, purely as Individuals, wished to engage in a good time under the guise and guarantee of conducting school dances. Hereafter no dance will be permitted in a school building un less it is strictly a school dance and unless the authorities have given their consent to the. programme and have made proper arrangements for chap-1 erons. and Miss Shipley, defeated the nega tive team of the James John high school team, of St, Johns, Carlyle Cun ningham and Ferris Swisher.

This is due to the author's wonderful clarity of style, and his natural genius for narrative.. He is one of the few great historians who seem to bo born for that special vocation. He has told in his history the story of seven thousand years of the life of mankind, and told It welL It is safe to say that one who has read his Larned can go any where and hold his own with people of learning and education.

New warrants -or tne -neat -Pearson-Page Company and McEwen & Kosky on a charge of operating as commission merchants without licenses have been issued, and these trials will proceed under a different phase of the law.

The welcome return to the Baker Theater of "The Virginian" yesterday brought out a big theaterful of loyal admirers and others who were seeing the beloved play for the first time. There have been many Virginians to follow in the footsteps of Dustln Far num, and many an ambitious actor has put on chaps and a swagger in emula unn nf Frank Camoeau as Trampas: many a yoi-.ng, ambitious one has played the lovable role or tsteve, ana me is a lengthy one of the leading women who have portrayed dear little llollie Wood, the schoolteacher from Vermont, who "didn't understand our ways." The Baker Players give a carefully-considered, nicely-balanced presentation of the play one that registers. Robert Gleckler gives a manly, virile tnrtv nf he title role. His Southern dialect Is rich arid falls delightfully on the hearing. His comedy is especially likeable and particularly impressive in his scene with Honey Wiggln, when they play their game of monte with the babies at the christening party. Speaking of Honey Wiggin, that role i- .Hmirghlv nlaved by F. Keenan Wal lace, who is such an excellent rough character actor that when he drops the Initial before his perfectly good name ha will be eligible for even bigger roles. His title role in "Officer 666" Is gone several better in his old Honey wiggin. Indelibly stamped in memory is wiu am F. Lloyd's lean, snarling, alert and m-ntio. TramDas one or tne Desi painted pictures in the gallery full to this clever actor's credit. To William F. Powell Is given me role of Steve, and to its depiction he bends every talent and they are many in his possession. Marv Edeett Baker plays the littU schoolteacher, who loves tne Virginian, with a deliehtfully wide range ol mnndi and inflections and great tender. ness. For so young an actress she has amazing composure and dignity. Walter B. Gilbert as spanisn i-a makes a fine showing, Cliff Lancaster as Nebrasky and Clarke Sllvernail as Baldy add cheer and good spirits. The cast is a lengthy one, witn dozens of "extra people" to give us all the guests at the christening, and the cow bovs. Florence Roberts is the much-con cerned Mrs. Heare. mother of the twins, Fayette and Leonidas, and Eileen Wil son is the bored-to-death Mrs. Ogden from New York. The olay as presented Is faithful In scenic detail and makes a coioriui pic ture. The Virginian" will continue all week, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday.

Exports From Colombia River for Three Weeks Estimated to Have Value of f2,KO0,0O0. Despite the slump of five points In the Chicago wheat market reported Saturday, the Portland market remains practically unchanged, due. It Is said, to the fact that Portland Is an export market and foreign quotations are at the same level. . Chicago Is regarded as the only speculative grain market In the country, while In Portland there has been no speculating of any ac count in wheat. . The Chicago break was credited to the report that the Government wouH put an embargo on wheat, but locally this Is felt to be a remote possibility. It is thought Congress would be slow to enforce such a restriction, while a large surplus above domestic needs re mains in this country. The United States is second only to Russia In the export of wheat. As an instance of the surplus on band the Merchants' Exchange gives figures for the year 1901, when the United States crop was 748,000,000 bushels, of which 235,000,000 bushels were sent abroad. This year the Government estimated the wheat crop in this country at more than 900,000,000 bushels, and to date less than 200,000.000 bushels have been exported. Wheat exports irom fortiana ror tne three weeks ending January 30 will bring $2,500,000 from Europe Into the Pacific Northwest, according to esti mates of the Merchants' Exchange. During the past week 839,842 bushels of grain, valued at $1,250,000. cleared from Portland for foreign ports. Ship ments In sight for the coming week will aggregate 700,000 bushels, of an approximate value of $1,000,000. and the export of wheat for the week fol lowing undoubtedly will reach 600,00 bushels. For Kearly Two Years lnslanla Has Been Used Officially by County of Multnomah. The State of Oregon has lost Its op portunity to substitute the old terri torial seal for the present one. In June, 1913, at the instance of Chairman Hol man. who is president of the Oregon Historical Society, the Board of Com missioners of Multnomah County adopted the territorial seal as Its own. George H. Himes, curator of the His torical Society, had planned to ask the present Legislature to adopt the old seal, which is regarded as more truly representative of the state than Is tire present one. A few changes were to have been made; 33 stars were to have been added to signify Oregon's admis sion as' the 33d state. The crest, a beaver. Is absent from the present Ore gon seal, and. Inasmuch as Oregon is known as the "Beaver state," this is regarded by the historian as Important. When, through an act of the ll'll Legislnture. the Board of County 'om mlbsloncrs was organized. Chairman liolmaii determined the Board should have an official seal. Through his In fluence the territorial seal was sdiptfl, and the motto, "Alls V'olat Proprlls" (I fly by my own wings) became the motto of Multnomah County's Board. Members of the Daughters of the American Revolution, as well as mem bers of the Historical Society, worn behind the movement to have the ter ritorial seal adopted by the state.
