VIEWS OX THE AMTCRICAX WOMAN BY GOVERN MENT WORKER. Women need freedom-of per sonality. Scrimping- is one of the things that enslaves woman. Women spend too much time on dress, style and entertainment the non-essentials. The American woman, general ly, does not know the value of a dollar. ...... Women need vision more than social recognition. The scientific viewpoint is the difference between pleasure and drudgery. Composure, poise and content ment are the qualities that wom en most need. "American women, as a general rule, t do not know the value of a dollar and are lacking: in the knowledge of home economics, thinks - Miss Florence E. Ward. National, leader of the junior ex tension work carried on by the Depart ment of Agriculture. Miss Ward paid Portland a hurried visit yesterday and left in the afternon for the south on the Shasta Limited. In addition to her work with the Department of Agriculture.

Members Number lOO.OOO. There are in the United States 100, 000 children associated in the work that Miss Ward has control over, the boys and girls belonging o various indus trial and social clubs with which the Department of Agriculture works in conjunction. When seen yesterday Miss Ward de clared that during her study of social and-industrial conditions in this coun try and in the countries of JSurope she had discovered that the - American woman was not fitted, generally, to assume the duties, of -motherhood. "A profession or a woman is but tem porary." said Miss Ward, "for Govern ment reports show that only one woman out of every 100 women is un married at the age of 40. Therefore if woman has no vocation she should have an avocation that should en Kender industry and prepare her for the duties of motherhood. "Women nowadays teach their daugh ters too much about style, dress and the value of entertaining properly. There, is stress laid on the making at tractive of the drawing-room when the Fame amount of care should be taken in making the kitchen attractive. A kitchen should be made one of the brightest spots in the household and it should be a place where any man would want to go and look for a cookie or doughnut. "It is said that if Martha and George Washington were to come to life George would find his office fitted with electric lights and steam heat while an elevator would take him to the floor of his office, but Martha would go to the kitchen and find the same old pots and kettles, and cooking and dishwashing wou4d have to be done in the same old-fashioned way. Women have not learned the value of injecting into their household duties scientific improvement. Scientific Improvement mnkes pleasure of drudgery. "I recently told the women gathered at a lecture in the State of Washington that the right of suffrage would not eliminate that longing tor independ ence that they desired. That longing is for freedom of personality, and it can be gained by the removal of false pride the dignifying of honest -labor and- by the woman herself earning money. Suf frage alone will not do it.

I learned of a newly married drugstore clerk. ior a salary or fiu a month, ..getting for his .wife, upon her earnest solicitation, a hat for which he paid $2S.

ALBANY. Or.. Nov. 14. (Special.) That a habit some travelers have of "orcakinar into the cabins of Govern ment forest rangers and taking sup plies must be discontinued was -indicated when Joseph Roberts was fined S-i. and costs for this offense by Jus tice of the l'eac-e Swan here, yesterday. Roberts was crossing the Cascade Mountains on the old Willamette Val ley & cascade Mountain wagon road, and spent the nitrht at a ranger's cabin on Seven-Mile Hill. It is alleged he broke into the building and then opened a locke-1 strong-box. He ad mitted taking feed for his horses and eating some of the provisions, but de nies the theft of other articles. Roberts was arrested on a charge of burglary, but in consideration of the fact that he had never been in trou ble before the charge was reduced to simple larceny, to which he pleaded guilty. :.,J LI -1 H tl . ft: I If!?; It1 rf-H;tJ4V" CORONATION . HALL, WHERE JAPANESE! EMPEROR ASCENDEO . THRONE. THE HERALDING the fact that "Japan has two-fold interesting aspects to study as a picturesque old em pire of the fine arts, as well, as the most progressed new country we can find on the earth," the Chugai Photographic Correspondence Agency, of Tokio, has begun distribution of a bid for business in the United States. The prospectus continues to describe the long-felt want which the agency has come to fill in the following words: "But sorry to say though the civiliza tio not our country so progressed we had no means of introduction of our urgent daily accidents to the world and much more such elegant poetical scenarles or fine arts except by the means of literal correspondence while these (out of dates) communications can only inform the most ambiguous descriptions as usual and it is of course impossible to know the real aspects of Japan." Reason enough, surely, why the Chu ai Photographic Correspondence Agen cy should get busy. A very excellent photograph of the palace where the Japanese Emperor has just been crowned is enclosed with the prospectus as a sample. The prospectus further says: "It is one of the most miraculous events in the modern history of the world, that we Japanese have made much progress at a bound as no one else can easily make. Therefore at present Japan has become the center of the worldly attentions as the most interesting character of the 20th cen tury, and now Far Eastern problem Is a world-wide problem. "Especially, Japan has been most ac quainted with the public as a old em pire of fine arts, not only in the Orient, but also in the world, and also as the nature of the land is itself wholly fine arts, we have so inexhaus-i tble scenes thought the country that, indeed, we have no words to describe it one by -one. "Thus it has become the most urgent measures that to have knowledge of Japan from various quarters as far as possible at present. "On this occasion, we have honor to inform you that we started correspond ing business of photograph in Japan for the first time, and now are steadily succeeding in building up quite a large amount of communication in every directions. As this is the case we can surely assert these correspondences are most quickly communicated to you. in reference to social, political, commer cial, educational, military affairs with fine arts as well as customs, manners, etc.. and again please remember that our company is the only one in Japan which can be able to communicate our daily newest photograph. "We believe that we can show what the Japanese people is, what treasuries of beautiful scenery and culture we possess so obviously as our letters or words can never be well described, and at the same time we do not doubt that you will take advantage of our highly original communication "on this good occasion," in order not to fall behind times." Accompanying the prospectus is the following letter: "Tokio, 18th Oct., 1915. Gentlemen: It gratifies us to be able to inform you that we are acting most promptly, as tne iounaer or photographical com munication in Japan, and we are most earnes'.y engaging in our business ac cording to the serious principal like written in an enclosed paper. we snail De very nappy if you H.H1U enougn to adopt our sincerely proposal, and by the way we beg to you that you will be so good as to proclaim our enlightened business to your acquaintances widely." GLORY SHARED HERE Actress Started on Road to Fame by Oregon Men. GENIUS RECOGNIZED EARLY Lotta Crabtree, Now Aged, Educated by C. Li. Goodrich and First Wide Publicity Provided by Joseph . Buchtel, of Portland. Lotta Crabtree, the venerable actress proclaimed by San Francisco as "Our Lotta," who after 50 years went back to the Golden Gate city the other day and called up memories of some of the old-timers, when she was In the heydey of her career, and who was highly honored as a result, is in reality a considerable bit "our Lotta" here in Portland. Joseph Buchtel, one of the foremost pioneers of Portland, and C. L. Good rich, of Oregon City, were the men who. 60 years ago, made Lotta's career possible at least they started her on her winning way. It was Mr. Buchtel and Mr. Goodrich who first "discovered' latent genius in the child actress, when, as a lass of 10, she was playing in San Francisco. It was Mr. Buchtel who went to call on her one morning when he was visiting in San Francisco, and after he had immensely enjoyed an evening performance in which she was the "whole show" for him. Lotta was then only 10 years old. ' " Education Offered Child. It was Mr. Goodrich who went to the theater that morning with Mr. SBW MAYOR OK SPRINGFIELD O.M-: OF YOl'XGEST MEN EVER TO HOLD OFFICE.

Oregon, and all his life a resident of Oregon, will assume the duties of Mayor of Springfield at noon tomorrow. Mr. Morrison has been a resident of Lane County for 10 years, having come here from Heppner! Mr. Morrison has always taken an active interest in the com mercial interests of the town and has served as a member of the School Board (1911-14) and as City Treasurer (1910-13). He Js 36 years old and one of the youngest men to be Mayor of Springfield. Buchtel, and. learning that the Crab tree family was in modest circum stances, offered to educate the child Jotta. And with an eye to the value of publicity, it was Mr. Buchtel who took Lotta to a good photographer and had some good photographs of her made the first photographs she had ever had made. Mr. Goodrich made good his offer; started Lotta on her education, and her talent and perseverance did the rest. . . .. -Mr. Buchtel called' tip the events yes terday, and through the musty scroll of years, many of which were filled to overflowing with stirring action and episodes, he recollected things some what as follos: "C. L. Goodrich was editor of the Spectator, published .i Oregon City, and he was called to San Francisco to be ' the associate editor of a paper there," said Mr. Buchtel. "He and I had always been close friends, and 1 went to San Francisco on some busi ness, and while there we went to the theater where Lotta was then acting child parts. Her appearance struck me as remarkable, and the next day Mr. Goodrich and I called to see the child. Her family were in modest circum stances. Goodrich .was so impressed by her appearance that he agreed to educate and train her for the stage. Portland Often Visited. "I took her to a nearbv gallerv and had some pictures of her taken the first' she ever had. Goodrich made his word good and afforded her an educa tion, and she became famous. "Lotta Crabtree visited Portland eral times, but I never happened to see her. What became of Mr.' Good rich I have never been able to learn. it was due to him that she . was able to make a start in a career that made her almost world-wide famous. "My attention was called to her hv the recent account published in The Oregonian of the high honors she re ceived in ban t rancisco, and I wanted the public to know the part an Ore gonian had in starting her on her won derful career." 2500 HEAR DRY WORKER Captain K. P. Ilobson, at North Yak ima, Also Advocates Preparation. NORTH TAKIMATwash., Nov. 14T (Special.) Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson spoke last night before an auoi ence of 2500 people at the National Guard Armory in this city in support of the National Anti-Saloon League campaign for National prohibition. Speaking of National defense he said: "The United States must be in a po sition to control the seas In order to enforce world peace. We should have a Navy as large as that of Germany in tne Atlantic, and one larger than that of Japan in the Pacific, the com bined fleets being larger than Great Britain's." Hobson said he looked for a yearly increase of not less than two dread noughts. "Now that Bryan is out of the Cabinet and President Wilson is seeing the light at last, we may ex pect to enter upon an era in which the United States will take its place as a world power." Vacillating Policies More and More Unpopular Defense Programme Regarded as Make-shift and Deficit Causes Woe. WASHINGTON. Nov. 1 4. (Special.) With Progressives flocking back into the Republican party and t:x-Sa;rctaiy of State Bryan attacking the Adminis tration in a manner tnat threatens to destroy the unity of the party in power. Democratic leaders are beginning to view the approaching Presidential cam paign with some misgivings. The harder Bryan hits the Adminis tration on its National defense . pro gramme the more effusive becomes Champ Clark in protestations of loyalty to the President. Anti-Bryan Demo crats are now booming the suggestion that Speaker Clark be selected to make the speech proposing the renomination of the President in the Democratic con vention. This proposition only makes the Bryanites wrathier. Republican Leader Confident. Final returns of elections In eight states a fortnight ago, taken in con Junction wtih Democratic reverses of November, 1914, demonstrate indispu tably, according to Republican leaders of the country, a swinging back to favor of the Republican party. That uemocrats are uneasy is indicated by the efforts they are making to explain recent election results as due to local issues. Reports from Illinois. Indiana. Mich igan. Wisconsin and Iowa are that dis approval of the President's policies Is widespread and that he cannot count next year on more than a fraction of the support received from that terri tory in 1912. Vacillating Policies Unpopular. The slump of Wilson stock in the West is attributed to the President's vacillating, inconsistent policies. The western viewpoint is illustrated by the suspicions with which the Administra tion National defense programme is re ceived. The President was opposed to any strengthening of the Army and Navy a year ago. Now, with the peo ple demanding action from the Admin istration, the President has presented a makeshift plan and even the carry ing out of the programme will be de layed a year by his inaction. Few Democratic leaders are so op timistic as to believe they can retain cpntrol of both the administrative and legislative branches of the Government next year. The growing deficit in the Govern ment finances under the Wilson Ad ministration is giving Democratic leaders great anxiety. They will be hard put to devise means for making both ends meet, wh.. will not be ob jectionable from a political viewpoint. The levy of a stamp tax ' on checks is suggested to the. Administration as one measure that would raise consider able revenue for the treasury. It Is estimated a tax of two cents on checks would raise about $10,000,000 a vear. Officials say about 1.500,000 checks are written in the United States every day. They say persons who issue checks are well able to pay a small tax. It is known the proposal to levy a tax on checks was brought to the attention of Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo. Tax on Checks Will Be Opposed. If the plan is adopted the proposed tax will be made a part of the war revenue emergency act when that law is re-enacted the coming session. It is recalled that a tax on checks was col lected during the Civil War. and also under authority of the emergency act passed at the time of the Spanish war. There will be opposition to such a tax. In fact. Democratic leaders, nota bly Representative Garner, of Texas, are favorable to the repeal of the pro vision of the emergency act levying a tsx an various forms of commercial paper. This particular form of taxa tion is regarded ' as vexatious and harassing. Its re-enactment or en largement by congress this Winter will be opposed by several leaders. ! B. F.

DIAMOND WEEK at Friedlander's Sale Every Diamond in the Stock Radically Reduced 310 WASHINGTON ST. Near Sixth Estab. 1S70 IB : WHEN you decide to try Sanatogen, food-tonic, you take a step the wisdom of which has virtually been approved by over 21,000 physicians. For that number of doctors have endorsed, over their signatures, the worth and the beneficent effect of Sanatogen. Good and only good results you may confi dently eTpect, for 21,000 physicians have gone on record in attesting Sanatogen's health and Strength-promoting power. 21.000 trained guardians of health think of it! If any single one of these recommended Sanatogen to you, you- would follow his advice. Yet on. physician might err, a score of them might err; but when 21,000 agree there is no chance of error. Among the sponsors of Sanatogen ' are physi- cians of international fame, men whose judgment in matters ef health is authoritative the world over, and Mil of these apeak from experience. They have seen the beneficent effects of Sanatogen in hospitals or in private practice. Thus th. statement that Sanatogen will revitalize the overworked and tired body is no empty claim, but merely what trained physicians have seen it do. And the statement that Sanatogen will strengthen the nervous system when in disorder from overstrain or worry is a claim justiBed by actual observation of its powers. Kou may thus start taking Sanatogen with real confidence that it will give you the help you need. -.T" ?'" Lj"" K"" """' phriiciM.
