THE 3IORNIXG OREGOXIAJf, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 21, 19T3. 11 MRS . W. S. STONER PORTLAND VISITOR Mother of Child Wonder Radi ates Attractive and Inter-' i: esting Personality. PROGRAMME IS BUSY ONE Author of Natural Education Be lieves in Use of Rhyme and Jingles as Memory Aid in Teaching Children. Life for ail the children of the land will be one jolly rythmical round of Jingles if Mrs. Winifred Sackvillo Stoner has her way. Ko examinations to scare boys and Bills to death, shorter school nours, fewer pupils to a teacher, training? for practical life work, education of parents, these are a. few of the important points that Mrs. Stoner emphasizes. The woman whose methods have proved so successful in the education of her own daughter arrived in Port land yes.terda.v-. She will go to Cor vallis today to speak for the delegates at the state convention of the Oregon Congress of Mothers and. Parent Teacher Associations, who a'ro .meeting this week in the college town. Tomor row Mrs. stoner will speak in the Lin coln High School for the teachers and parents, and on Saturday morning she will appear at a public meeting in the Jfeilis Theater, where she will give a talk and demonstration of her natural educational principles. At noon on .Saturday Mrs. Stoner will be a guest or the Oregon Civic League at their luncheon in the Hotel Multnomah. Winffred. Jr., the wonder child, who i?. at the age of 13, an author arnd a linguist, is not with Mrs. Stoner. iSho stayed in her home with her daddy, and is enjoying athletics, play and Itudy. Personality la Radiated. A noted educator has called Mrs. Ktoner "the most wonderful woman tn the world." A short visit with her is all that, is needed to give perfect understanding of this statement. The Inventor of the magical method of education has an abundance of person ality. he radiates sunshine. Her col oring is most attractive eyes that sparkle, black hair, rosy cheeks. She has something interesting and original to say every moment. She is enthusiastic over her work and wants every mother in the country to catch her enthusiasm. Mrs. Stoner believes in fairies. In fact, she is much like Peter Pan. for, though so very wise, she will never grow oip if growing up means to be severe, and dictatorial, and old. She would keep in the home the fairies IjOV. Sympathy and Good Cheer. Ban ished would be the demons Hurry, "Worry and Fear, if she had her way. 't can't" would be unknown in a child's vocabulary when referring to a task, but "Til try" would be the words. In her rooms at the Hotel Benson yesterday, where she was interviewed, she merrily demonstrated the manner In which she uses the typewriter as a means of learning - spelling, reading and punctuation and in memorizing. She made the machine serve as an in strument of delightful accomplishment. Jingles Serve Purpose. The woman who has stirred the in terest of all the leading educators of the country, scores of whom have in dorsed her, la a firm beaver in jingles. "How do you recall the number of days In each month?" she asks, and when the reply, "Thirty days hath September." etc., is made, she says: "Well, why not remember other things in the same manner?" Winifred, Jr.. the child who knows so many languages and facts, and is so strong physically, morally and mentally, learned a large per centage of her lessons in jingle. "Languages should be taught in the j natural metnod Deiore cnuaren are is years of age," Mrs. Stoner contends. Killing the child mind with beauti ful thoughts and impressions in the memory period, 5 to 12 years will, she ' believes, give him a good foundation for reasoning. Mrs. Stoner's five foundation stones of education are education, intense in terest, concentration, imitation and ex ploration. She believes in seeking to become educated tn the highest sense through learning self-control and the joy of service. Mother Proud of Girl. Proudly, with fondness and happi ness, she showed a number of photo graphs of her daughter. There was one especially attractive picture of Wini fred. Jr., sitting at a typewriter and surrounded by a number of chubby, interested youngsters, who show clearly that they are getting the message that Winifred Stoner, Jr., is handing down to them. The child and her darkey mammy, and the pet dog, and best big doll, are shown in another photo. More strenuous are the pictures showing the young wonder enjoying a boxing match with a professional boxer. "Look at those muscles. Does she look like a prodigy, all brains and no physical strength? No, she is a natural child and perfectly healthy," said the another. Mrs. Stoner has views that conflict strongly with those of Mme. Monteserrt. It was the little word "system" that started the conversation along this line. "System is all very well for Mme. Mon tesorri." said Mrs. Stoner, "but sys tem turns out not individuals, but snusages." Training each child as an individual, not as a class, is a hobby of Mr8.Vtoner and she speaks in the high est terms of praise of the efforts that 1 have been put forth along those lines in Portland public schools. ADVOCATE OF NATURAL EDUCATIONAL PRINCIPLES WHO WILL SPEAK TOMORROW. 1 v W . . u v " , i : ""S. V : iTs i Jr ';.v . t LENIENCY PLAN HALTED JIDGK REFUSES PLEA OF GCaTI GOTTLIEB PLANNED TO ENTER. District Attorney Not Averse to Parole, Because of Bis Expense ef Prevlnar Fer&rery. After reading in yesterday's issue of The Oregonian of the record of Leon Paul Gottlieb, indicted for passing a worthless check for J12. Circuit Judge Gantenbein definitely refused a plea of guilty which Gottlieb entered with a view to obtaining a parole. The plea had been tentatively refused by the judge late the previous afternoon on his statement that he desired to inves tigate the case. Gottlieb has changed his plea to not guilty. District Attorney Evans, while not recommending a, parole, was not ad verse to it for two reasons, the first being that the check was drawn on a New York bank and it would be neces sary to bring witnesses from there at great expense , to the state to prove the absence of a deposit. The other was that criminal charges are pending against Gottlieb in California on which he probably could be prosecuted with much less trouble and expense. What - course now will be followed with reference to Gottlieb is uncertain, but he is certain to remain in jail for a while anyway, is he is unable to fur nish the bond Tequired. It is under stood that Mrs. Gottlieb, nee Clara Herschberger. the girl with whom he' eloped to Oregon City and who lived with him only a few days, is contem plating action for divorce. Gottlieb's conviction as a felon would give her a ground to which he could offer no defense. HEK3Y FORD IS INVITED Thomas Edison, Also Asked to Visit City, Finds Stop Impossible. The Portland branch factory of the Ford Motor Company, through F. H. Norman, manager, yesterday tele graphed to Henry Ford at San Fran cisco urging him to come to Portland before returning East. In the same telegram they invited Thomas Edison, the wisard inventor, who is now' with Mr. Ford at San Francisco. Mr. Edison yesterday informed the Chamber of Commerce that he would be unable to include Portland on his present itinerary, but the local Ford officials are hopeful that Mr. Fori will come to Portland to see his branch here and the Columbia River Highway. Robbing Companion Charged.--Charged with fleecing a companion of $. Max Maschner was arrested at the corner of First and Davis streets yesterday by Officers Wade and Mallon. He is said to have gone through the pockets of M. Seller in a saloon at Second and Couch streets. YOUTH ENDS OWN LIFE Laundry Mark. Only Clew to Identity of Man Dead in Plaza Block. With a email rope tied around the neck and attached to an iron beam overhead, the body of an unidentified young man, well drssed and apparently prosperous-, was found hanging in the men's restroom in the Plaza block, on Salmon street between Third and Kourth streets, early yesterday morn ing. The case was pronounced b I'cnuty Coroner Smith to be clearly one of suicide. The body was taken to the public morgue and every effort is being made to indetify it. A clew furnished by a laundry mark, "L356." is being investigated. Home for Kiddles Sought. Judge Cleeton. of the Juvenile Court, wants someone who will volunteer to cive Eva and Billy a home.

Telephone Juvenile Court, VOICE IS VERY LIFE TO CAROLINA WHITE Death Would Be Her Choice IE She Were Not Able to Sing, She Says, but She Has Beauty Required by Movies. BT LEONE CASS BAER. 1 CAROLINA wmiis says it anytning would happen to her voice so that she couldn't sing, she would want to go away in some corner and die. She is just that serious .about her art. But If anything should happen to that great big lovely voice, Ca-rolina White could become one of the sensa tions of thfc film world. She is an ex purgated edition of Theda Bara, a brunette Lillian tusseii, a, piump edi tion of Cavalleiri (Lina not Kusticana). All the time I talked to her i was thinking that Nat Goodwin was clear off his noodle when he said he had married the loveliest women in the world. He may have wed a. few of the beauties, but he didn't capture Caro lina White. But she has been captured, matri monially speaking, and her captor is Paul Longene, a young, gooa-ioosans, earnest and music-loving Italian, an authority on opera, and a most inter esting conversationalist. These two have a lovely home in Italy, but they were saddened at mention of it. Paul Longone has two brothers at the front, and two cousins lately killed, Madame la Not Neutral. Madame Carolina White is an Ameri can, intensely loyal and proud of it, but she is decidedly not a neutral in the iuestion of war. Her husband's people are truly her people. "But it is for the mothers I care most: all the mothers, not of one coun try, but all countries. It is the women, the mothers, who suffer." The prima donna was not acting when she said this. Her eyes big, wonderful and brown looked across thousands of miles to where they saw the horrors whereof she spoke. It is orte of the fascinations of her, this way she has of mirroring her thoughts in her eyes. She likes vaudeville and the new audiences it brings to her. She adores even the monkeys when they happen on a bill with her. and she is demo cratic enough to please even C. E. S. Wood. Everyone is Carolina White's friend, from the littlest usher up the line. She confesses to indolence, save in her art, and her great passion la literature. "All day long I could read and far Into the night," she says. NetTa Explained to Husband. I read 'all the news headlines, and all sort of books. My husband reads our American papers, too, and then I have to explain them to him." She laughed-wickedly at the remain brance. Madame White loves a social life, but has no time for it. "One must sacrifice all for art," she says. "There is no halfway measure. Domesticity, babies, society all the things the soul of a woman craves must be put away until the operatic career Is over. They cannot oe mixed, witn justice to either. "I have sacrificed to art but Here the lovely Carolina blushed beau tifully. "We adore babies, she added, I Intoxicant.

"So anyone with intelligence keeps away from it." She is psychic, and her friends call her a medium. Audience's Attitude Ivmowm. "It's only audiences that call out this psychic feeling." she eaya. "But it is true, I can tell just how as audi ence is receiving my songs. "I can feel the appreciation, with out one bit of applause. I cap feel It if even one person turns about in his seat. I seem to be like a sensitive plant while I sing." Madame says that the best thine: she likes about vaudeville is that it has brought her before the real music-lovers, "not merely the smartly dressed men and women who assume to love opera because they .fancy It is the cor rect thins to do." t Athletic aaa Garde Ground Also Are Requested tn Resolution Adopt ed by A Board. Woodstock residents will ask the Board of Education to complete the present schoolhouse by the erection of five or six rooms and an assembly ball and the purchase of playgrounds, in cluding a baseball diamond, a field for football and for school gardens. The request for these improvements was embodied in resolutions adopted at a mass meeting held at the schoolhouse Tuesday night under the auspices of the Woodstock Parent-Teacher Asso ciation. The resolutions will be pre sented to the Board by a committee. According to the report of Principal A. J. Prldeaux. the "Y oodstock pupils occupy eight rooms in the new and four rooms in the old structure, wnicn is three blocks away, and a single port able room. Appropriations have Deen marie in former years for the comple tion of the Woodstock building, said the principal, but these have been cut out. The meeting was held in a classroom on the lower floor, which was crowded and verv uncomfortable. Fire Marshal Stevens would not allow the use of the hall on the upper floor, and he came in for some severe criticism.

Morgran, prominent resident of Brownsville, who was lost while hunt ins; in that region In October. 112 A searchinc party Is preparing- to leave Brownsville, it Is said, to make search of that section to sea if "the missing; man's remains can be found.

TODAY'S BEAUTY AIDS To clear up and whiten the skin and secure that charm of pink and white youthful freshncs3 so much desired by all women you will find it far safer to rely upon a good face lotion rather than powder. To get rid of that shiny' and muddy appearance in your com plexion, dissolve four ounces of spur max in one-half pint hot water, and add two teaspoontuls glycerin. Apply this to your face, neck and arms, rub bing gently until dry. This lotion does not show or rub off like powder and Is much better. It is splendid for re moving tan, freckles, pimples and al lowness. You can make a delightful shampoo for a very trifling cost if you get from ' your druggist a package of canthrox and dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water. Tour a little at a time on the scalp and rub briskly. This creates an abundance of thick, white lather that thoroughly dissolves and removes all dandruff, excess oil and dirt. After rinsing, the hair dries quickly, with a fluffinees that makes it seem heavier than it is, and takes on a rich lu?ter and a softness that makes arranging it a pleasure. Adv.
