Boys and Girls of any age may see them with pleasure and profit and without CHAPERONAGE. THEY were not missionaries in the ; cause of temperance, those white ribboned "W. C. T. U. members who were in Portland yesterday. No. indeed! In face of the fact that Oregon already has voted to- abolish the saloons, these earnest women could do naught but listen and observe so that they might be able to carry the lesson of Oregon's prohibition victory back to their respective states. 'Why, we can't tell you people here In Oregon anything about temperance," exclaimed Miss Anna A. Gordon, the National president, who arrived at the head of two special train parties yes terday afternoon. "We are here to learn, not to teach." The women represent nearly every state in the Union. . They visited here for seven or eight hours on their way to their National convention. Officials of the W. C. T. U. in Ore Ron, and other prohibition workers, joined hands in extending them a wel come and In providing them entertain ment. Visitors Ride About City. The party was greeted at the Union station by a. demonstrative and en thusiastic group of men and women who had a big battery of automobiles in waiting. As soon as tho Informal reception under the trainsheds was over tho ready cars carried the visitors over a scenic sightseeing trip through both the east and west sides of the city. Following this delightful trip the party gathered at -the Chamber of Com merce, where headquarters were main tained. A banquet, attended by many of Portland's leading citizens, was the principal social function in connection with the women's visit. This function started at 7 o'clock last night and was followed by a series of short speeches that kept the crowd entertained until after 10 o'clock. The special trains left for Seattle an hour later. A large dele gation of W. C. T. U. members from Portland and other parts of the state Joined the excursionists on their way to the Sound. , Memorial Services Conducted. An interesting incident in connection with the visit of the National leaders yesterday was the ceremony at the Portland Surgical Hospital, where Mrs. Elizabeth P. Hutchinson, National treasurer of the W. C. T. U., recently died. A memorial service was con ducted there and a library was pre rented to the hospital to commemorate Mrs. Hutchinson. Inasmuch as the visitors represented nearly every part of the country, their reception was delegated to the officials of the various state socieities in Ore (Ton. - Each state was represented in the crowd that lined up around the Iron ;ates at the Union Depot. As the vis itors, escorted from the train by Mrs. Jennie M. Kemp. Oregon state presi dent, marched through, the members of the reception committee tried to single out those from their own states. Missouriana Are Present. "Missouri, Missouri, Missouri," called one group of young women right near the front Soon several Missouri wom en introduced themselves. They were conducted to the Missouri automobile. "Is anyone here from Ohio?" queried A, committee of former residents of the Buckeye State. Soon a number of Ohio visitors presented themselves. Thus the excursionists were taken cre of. Many among them found old friends among the local reception com mittees. Mrs. Kemp and Mrs. Henrietta Brown journeyed east to The Dalles to meet the special trains and to extend a for mal welcome to the visitors. J. E. Anderson, Mayor of The Dalles, who In troduced the prohibition bill in the Ore gon Legislature last Winter, also met the women there. An informal recep tion was tendered at The Dalles at 1 JtOPtl. The two trains were stopped at Mult nomah Falls and those visitors who wished were taken by automobile from Care in Safeguarding De pendents Is Advised. (t) Mrs. E. K. Stafford, of Knll River, Mass.

Bang, of Nashville, Tenn., president for her state, and many oth ers. All the women were interested In the success of the prohibition movement in Oregon and Washington. All were so hugely encouraged by this success that they expressed their determination to go home and press their efforts for the temperance cause harder than ever. "I know we have a hard battle be fore us in Kentucky," said Mrs. Beau champ, president for that state, "but we know nothing is impossible. What you have done in .Oregon we can do in Kentucky." Oregon Women Congratulated. j Some of the women represent states that are "dry" already, and they and their Oregon sisters exchanged mutual congratulations. One of these was Mrs. Bang, of Nashville, Tenn., who is confident that the prohibition movement will succeed in every state in the Nation. Mrs. Bang was a traveler on the first of the two specials, but left the train at Multnomah Falls to view the scenery. The train started away in her absence, carrying her hat and coat with it. But she boarded the second section suc cessfully and rode triumphantly to Portland, where she recovered her gar ments and her baggage. Scores of Oregon women who at tended the state convention at New berg earlier in the week joined the Portland reception committee yester day afternoon and participated In the festivities at the Chamber of Commerce last night. LEGAL RIGHTS COMPLEX Protection of Foster Parents and State Help for Unmarried Moth ers Are Advocated. Before Home-Find ins Bodies. That every effort should be made to safeguard dependent and neglected children and protect the foster parents as well, was he consensus of oplniOD of the state superintendents and field agents expressed yesterday at the meeting of the "Pacific Conference of Children's Home-Finding Societies, held at the Receiving Home of the Beys and Girls' Aid Society, East Twenty ninth street. From the discussions it could be seen that every problem was complex and that there were several problems in connection with the legal rights of dependent children, their parents and foster parents, that must be solved. In the morning session nearly two hours were occupied by consideration of the topic, "What Is the Legal Status of the Child of the Foster Parents?" which was presented by John J. Teuscher, Jr., field agent of the Oregon Boys and Girls' Aid Society, who presented the law bearing on the subject. He con tended that great care should be exer cised in adopting children so that the law shall be observed and for the fu ture welfare of the children adopted "Doughnut Mat." Today, Empress. Much comment has been caused by the doughnuts that are strung under the canopy of the Empress Theater and passersby have been wondering at the idea. As a result of a hunting ex pedition on tbe private grounds of Portland's "doughnut king," Dan Maley and Charles Dayton, a couple of "nuts" who offer a screamingly funny act at the Empress called the "Doughnut Hunters," sent several hundred dough nuts to Manager Conlon and have asked his pedraission to announce a special "Doughnut Matinee" today. - Every patron entering; the theater this after noon will receive a nice fresh dough nut. - These Pictures, including all of THE FAMOUS PLAYERS THE LASKY THE BELASCO THE MOROSCO THE BOSWORTH, in addi tion to special attractions, FOREIGN AND AMERICAN, will be shown EXCLUSIVELY at the - PEOPLE and at the Commencing Sunday, October 10 10 for any seat at Matinees, from opening till 6 P.

'What Should Be Done With the Children of Unmarried Mothers?" was answered by Mrs. H. II. Heller to the effect that as far as possible the mother should keep and raise the child and should receive state aid if neces sary. She held that such mothers are not wholly bad and more often sinned against than sinning, and that no ef fort should be spared to enable her to take care of her child, to feel her re sponsibility as a parent even in her misfortune. However, there were cases where it would be well to release the child for adoption, she said. She con demned the double moral standard that condemns the mother and permits the father to escape. Rev. Marion Johnson, of Washington, argued that to aid the unmarried mother through the state was a dan gerous thing, and might tend to en courage illegitimacy. H. C. Leven worth contended that society -must be protected, that young girls must be protected and that children of unmar ried men and women are evidence of crime which must not be minimized In the least. Suburban Homes Tltons;lit Best. "How Best to Place the Child in the FosterHome" was discussed by J. G. Kilpack, who emphasized the need of careful investigation In finding homes, so that the child will fit the home in which it may be adopted and the home may (it the cniia. "We find in Montana," said Super Intendent J. V. Hawks, "that the sub urban homes are the best and are bet ter than the city homes. We have less trouble with the country homes than the city homes." "How Best to Safeguard the Foster Parents in the Placement of Children of Doubtful Mentality" was presented by Superintendent R. E. Arne. BAKER PLAN GIVEN Toledo Sawmill Resumes Work. TOLEDO, Or..

SALARIES ARE NOT DECIDED Present Kinployes Will Be Dropped, Says Commissioner, and Success ors Not Olioseh Emergency Clause on Ordinances. Commissioner Baker's plan for han dling1 the employment and unemploy ment problem in Portland was un folded yesterday in the form of two ordinances, one providing- for the es tablishment of a bureau of labor with one chief clerk in charge of the men's work, and another clerk, a woman, to have chargre of the women's employ ment. The other measure provides for funds for the bureau. It is proposed to have this bureau take the place of the present Municipal Free Employment Bureau, which is abolished by the meas ure creating tbe new bureau. Salaries of the employes and the amount to be appropriated for the work are left blank in the proposed meas ures, it being- Mr. Baker's intention to have the Council till these in when the measures are taken up for enact ment. The ordinances bear an emer gency clause which will make them effective as soon as passed. A third measure has been prepared transfer ring U the money left in the present employment bureau fund into the new fund. Mr. Baker said yesterday that he nas not definitely decided upon persons to place in charge of the work. He ex pects, however, to find someone soon. He says the employes In chargre of the present bureau are not to be retained. In the ordinance creating- the new bureau provision is made for conduct ing: investigations to ascertain condi tions regarding unemployment and for the handling not only of the work of the present employment bureau, but the enlarged work of trying to find a solution for the seasonal unemploy ment problem which confronts the city . each Winter, when hundreds of men come to Portland from logging camps and other places in this state and Wash ington. Mr. Baker says he will push the measures before the Council next Wednesday, and he hopes to get them passed. He will be prepared then to get busy on the work for the coming Winter. He says he hopes to have his new bureau organized and in working order in plenty of time. This will be accomplished, he says, unless there Is Councilmanic opposition. To pass his ordinances will require unanimous vote of the Council unless the emergency is eliminated and the measures have to go over for 30 days before taking effect.
