14 VISIT OF SORORITY GIRLS JOYFUL ONE 300 Delegates See Portland on Their Way to Conven tion at Gearhart. PARTY ON SPECIAL TRAIN Kappa Alpha Theta Delegates, Going to Tltclr Convention, Are Guests of Local Committee and Chamber of Commerce. (Continued From First Page.) visit in Portland, all were anticipating the big gathering at the seashore. "I'm Just wild to see the ocean," said Miss Helen Barnes, of North Da kota, and Olga Serumgard and La Belle Mahon, from the same state, both said they would have a dip In the briny as one of the treats ot the trip. All the way from Calcutta. India, is Luella Smith, who declared that every time she announced the name of her home city people always stared as though they expected to see her in native costume of India. Among the enthusiastic girls in the party was Erma Kiethly, of San Fran cisco, who is assisting in dispensing hospitality in true Western style. "We have been showered with at tentions everywhere." said pretty Josephine Glidden, of De Kalb, 111., "and as for the West why, we .love it." Mrs. W. W. Jones, of Toledo, is ac companying her daughter, Mies Clara Jones. "I'm not a sorority girl," she declared, "but I'm a sorority mother, end I have the best time imaginable mothering these girls," and her glance embraced at least a score of bright eyed, pink-cheeked young women. Isabel Clingensmith, of Pittsburg, and Mrs. Jessamine De Haven Lewis, of Allegheny, stepped off the car "Just for a second" while the guard was calling "All aboard," and they allowed the photographer to snap them. "Shall we get newspapers at Gear hart?" they askd. "We want to see what we look like." Initiation to Be Feature. The sessions of the convention will open this morning in the rustic audi torium located in the heart of the pine woods not far from the hotel The model initiation, a beautiful ceremony of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Thetas, will be staged In this place Tuesday even ing. It promises to be one of the fea tures of the session and will be led by the Eugene chapter members. The social activities will be varied, and will be staged all along the south beach on either side of Gearhart and Seaside and at those two places, where the formal functions will" be held. This afternoon the scattered sisters of the various chapters will reunite under their respective banners. Tonight there will be a huge beach party, with the Seattle chapter of the University of Washington as hostesses. This will be a novel and entertaining feature, as many of the visiting dele gates have never sat at a truly West ern beach bonfire. Fraternity songs will echo and re-echo up and down the beach, while huge driftwood fires will emblazon the landscape for more than a mile. The beach from Gearhart to Seaside will be one long stream of light. A moonlight eongfest will be held in the auditorium Tuesday night. Stunt Vnrty to Be Given. On Wednesday night a "stunt" party will be given by the Seattle delega tion and on Thursday the newly-elected officers will be invested and the con vention proper will end with a big banquet. The Thetas of Silverton and Albany 'Will be hostesses at a picnic Friday and on Saturday the delegation will ctop off at Astoria to view the river sports. Many of the delegates will take the steamship Great Northern for San Francisco that afternoon, the oth ers coming by way of Portland for their homes. Not the least interesting diversion of the convention will be the daily paper which will be published and distributed each morning at breakfast during the convention. This will be issued from the office of the Seaside Publishing Company by Mrs. C. C. Dodge, of On tario. Or., assisted by Misses Marjorie McGulre. of Berkeley; Helen Hamilton, of Roseburg; Walletta Wright and Laura Taylor, of Albany, and Bernice Lucas and Alice Gram, of. Portland. The six sub-editors are all students at the University of Oregon. Sorority Organised in IS 70. The Kappa Alpha Theta is the oldest sorority. It was organized in 1870 at Depauw, then Asbury University, Greencastle, Ind. The sorority stands high in scholarship. insisting on "scholarship first, fun afterwards." More than 7000 women who are alum nae members now wear the black and gold kite which is the emblem of membership. There are distinguished women in the party. One is Mrs. George Fitch, of Peoria. 111., wife of the well-known writer, who is herself a writer of promise. Miss Clara Fanning, of White Plains, N. T., also is in the party. She Is known in literary and scholarship circles also. Mrs. Eleanor G. Karstens, secretary to President Thomas of Bryn Mawr. likewise la attending' the convention.

LADS ARE BURIED IN SAND Scrap of Tin, Used as Spade, Gives Mute Testimony or Pair Digging Play-Refuge In Embank ment on Rodney Avenue. A shoe and part of a boyish leg pro truding from a heap of sandy loam be neath an overhanging embankment on Rodney avenue, near Lombard street, led to the finding, early yesterday, of the-bodies of Leo Larson, aged 11. and Osborne Middleton. aged 10, after an all-night's search by distracted parents. ; " Digging a ".cave" in the bank the evening before the two lads penetrated too far into the unstable soil and a cave-in resulted, burying them alive in the damp sand" and clay. Leo Larson, who is the son of Ed ward Larson, proprietor of a grocery at 1429 Union avenue North, left his home at 492 Liberty street shortly after 7 o'clock Saturday night and met Os borne Middleton. Jr., of 1433 Union avenue North, and 7-year-old Fred Middleton. The three boys started out together, but the younger Middleton lad soon returned home,, saying that his brother and the Larson boy were going to play at the gravel pit in Co lumbia Slough. Search la Long Fmltleaa. As It grew dusk the parents of the two boys became worried. Mr. Larson went to the Middleton home to see if his boy was there and then, with Mr. Middleton, started to search for the youngsters. While the boys had often gone out to play together in the even ing, they had never before been gone so long, as it was their habit to return to their homes when it grew dark. After several hours of fruitless search the police bureau was notified that the boys were missing and patrol men were detailed to aid in the hunt. At daylight the search continued and resulted in the finding of the bodies. Motorcycle Patrolmen Ervin and Tully and Deputy Coroner Smith un covered the bodies, which were taken to the morgue. Nearly half a ton of dirt had fallen on the boys when the walls of their dirt castle caved in. In the hands of one was found an irregular-shaped piece of tin with which he had been 'scooping out the dirt, but most of the excavation in the soft loam had been accomplished by their un aided hands. The street is not cut all the way through, where the bodies were found, and children of the neighborhood had been in the habit of playing on the embankment and of digging caves In the sides. Inquest Not to Be Held. Leo Larson leaves his father and mother and older brother, Dewey, aged 17, and two younger sisters. The Mid dleton boy's father, Osborne Middle ton, is a ffredit man for the Blake McFall Company and lives at .1433 Union avenue North. The lad leaves his father, mother and a younger brother. No inquest will be held. Both fu nerals will be held Wednesday, that of the Larson boy from the Woodlawn Methodist Church and that of Osborne Middleton, Jr., fromthe Holy Redeemer Church. The former had attended the public school in Woodlawn and the latter had been a pupil in the school of the Holy Redeemer. VACATION SCHOOLS OPEN Regular Courses Will Be Taught In City for Six Weeks.

Two capacity .crowds ia the Oaks Auditorium yesterday greeted what was easily the best programme offered since the amusement park opened this sea son. Incidentally, the day was the first "park Sunday" this Summer. That was shown by the typical warm weather happenings. Three canoes, for instance, tipped over in the neighborhood of the bathing- pavilion. The popularity of the swimming was attested by the number ofi heroic young rescuers who raced to the scene. Their services were not needed, however, for in each case the tiny craft occupants could swim, and suffered nothing worse than getting wet. Lost Children Rescued. Six children were reported "lost" at the Oaks, and Harry Riley, chief of police, had. his hands full restoring them to anxious parents. The day of prosperity arrived for the monkeys and the bears, which, long before dusk, were resting uneasily as the result of food offerings eaten not wisely but too well. The Summer girls were out In force in up-to-the-minute gowns and hats. The Summer man was never far behind. Mr. and Mrs. Picnickers and all the little Picnickers gathered round the many cosy tables and did justice to picnic fare. And so the story of the day could be told. To add satisfaction to the large crowds the free performance In the auditorium was above reproach. Be sides being the best, it was the largest entertainment bill the Oaks has yet of fered. Two Prima Donnaa Sing;. Two prima donnas, Elfrieda Heller Weinstein and Mile. Tryon, in their separate ways, delighted the audiences with song.

"The physician in charge said the patient bad a tumor lying between the stomach and intestines. The patient being 62 year old, he claimed no help could "be given ex cept the knife ; but finding the intestine! in a very bad state, I advised the "J. B. L.

All the principals had songs that were well applauded. Programmes will be given eve'y aft ernoon and night this week. 'BIG BROTHER IS READY Professor Lyon Will Begin Enter taining Portland Boys.
