TTIE MORNING OltEGONIAX. WEDNESDAY," APRIIi
WOMEN'S POLITICAL
CLUB IS ON ROCKS
Members Backing Mrs. Hawks
Declare They Have Left
Organization for Good.
WHOLE BODY ADJOURNS
Opposing Factions Agree to Halt
iu Activities Until June 20,
AVliit-Ii Is late for Annual
Election of Officers.
The Women's Political Science Club
has adjourned to meet on June 20. the
date of the annual election of officers.
Behind this simple statement is a
long- story of disagreements, of star
chamber meetings of various factions,
of rumored charges against oficers and
of ill feeling that the members declare
lias interfered sreatly with the real
work of the club.
The trouble was brought to a climax
suddenly in the I-ibrary yesterday,
when both sides, or all sides, agreed to
adjourn until the date of the annual
meeting. ' !
Many Sever Connections.
In the meantime, many of the "con
servatives" have declared that they will
never go back; that the continued bad
feeling had "gotten on their nerves
and they felt the club was not progres
sive." in fact, they said, "it was
doomed." and they will start a new or
ganization, to be known as the Political
Study Club. As far as they are con
cerned, the original organization is a
thing of the past. One of the outgoing
number said yesterday, in discussing
the trouble: "We will let 'them' have
the name and the funds and run things
to suit themselves. We -will try to
do constructive work and preserve har
mony in our new club."
Among those who will probably quit
the Political Science Club will be Mrs.
Margaret Kortiner, its organizer: Mrs.
H. A. Whiting. Mrs. M. fl. McClung,
Mrs. D. M. Watson. Mrs. E. F Mullay,
Mrs. M. K Nolan. Dr. Florence Manion,
Mrs. Philip Gevurtz, Mrs. M. llender
shott, Mrs. E. Ferguson. Mrs. Viola
Clark, daughter of Mrs. Nolan; Mrs.
Winn. Mrs. R. H. White, Mrs. N. Dun
can. Mrs. A. Oberle and Mrs. A. San
born. PreMldent'n Deposition Sought.
At an after meeting held last week,
the faction opposing the president,
Mrs. Thomas Hawkes, gathered forces
and decided to depose Mrs. Hawkes.
This action they claim was legal and
they maintain that the club has no
president now and will not have until
there is an election. At a board meet
ing held on Monday in one of the down
town hotels, it is declared by several
who attended that the feeling shown
' was anything but friendly and that
Mrs. Hawkes was roundly scored. "The
husbands of some of the women at
tended the board meeting to back them
up in their grievances," said a club
woman who expressed her disapproval
of the whole procedure.
At yesterday's meeting Tr. Florence
Manion moved that the regular order
of business be dispensed with. Mrs.
Nolan seconded the motion. It was car
ried, and then came the motion to ad
journ until June. This also carried.
Mr. Hawkes In Blamed.
Mrs. Daniel Grant, vice-president.
who is among those who will stay with
the club, said in comment that "as
Mrs. Hawkes had been the cause of the
discord and as her actions were unpar
donable, it was the kindest thing to do
to adjourn."
Mrs. Hawkes" friends say that she al
ways has been faithful in her duties
as an officer and that no open charges,
no definite action against her have been
made. She succeeded Mrs. Mary L. Ste
vens, over whom there were many
stormy sessions a few months ago
when charges were made that Mrs.
Stevens had been derelict in her duties
and, it was declared, had withheld cer
tain credentials from delegates to the
State Federation. Mrs. Stevens resigned
after being deposed by the "insurgent"
members at a called meeting, which
they claimed was legal and which
others declared illegal.

M1h M. E. Hlnsreman A Modern
Searcher for the Fountain of Youth.
IT IS quite consistent with the age of
beauty parlors that it should be a
woman now who seeks the fountain of
eternal youth. Miss M. IS. Bingeman
does not. however, seek it through ihe
recognized methods of the day. She is
the secretary and most active member
of the "Live-a-Little-Longer" educa
tional committee of Rochester, N. V. A
committee which is quite as alluring

contend that one may always be young.
but she does insist that most people
are old long before it is necessary, and
that by far the greater number die
long before they should. She has made
her statements so positively that she
has convinced the Rochester Association
of Life Underwriters . and they are
notifying tiie public by means of cir
culars. It is good business .policy for
a life insurance company to keep its
members living, and the organization
has aided materially In spreading the
teachings of Miss Bingeman.' She has
also enlisted the co-operation of the
Ministerial Association of Rochester,
the Chamber of Commerce, the Wom
en's Industrial Union and hundreds of
individuals.
Her method is to strike directly at

the root of the health question. One
doctor and one nurse have been em
ployed to lecture in the schoolhouses
on subjects which are limlied entirely
to the subject of life conservation. The
diseases th'at are preventable are dis
cussed and the audience is told how
they may be kept out of the home.
How the body may be kept disease
proof and its power of resistance may
be developed to the highest pitch. The
caring for children and the possibility
of keeping them in perfect health is
demonstrated. The sole object is to in
sure the retaining of health and life.
The membership of the classes is com
prised of women over 18 years, and
the lectures are held every afternoon
and evening. Branches will be started
soon that will put the places of meet
ing within walking distance of every
woman in Rochester.
Lectures that are fitted to a particu
lar community will be given and every
effort will be made to keep the courses
practical. A manikin is used to illus
trate the courses in nursing. The
classes will be held continuously, and
will later become a part of the public
school educational system if present
plans carry.
Miws Bingeman is peeking to make
the live-a-little-longer educational com
mittee a National rather than civic
movement. In this the life insurance
companies are aiding materially. She
spoke before the National Association
of Life Insurance Presidents in New
York a year ago, and through the many
companies represented indorsements of
her work have been issued. The ad
vertising of this move insured audi
ences in Rochester and inspired an in
terest in many other cities. Miss
Bingeman expects to enlist the serv
ices of thousands of nurses and doctors
in America within the coming few
months.
The SmmhnStopy
By Mrs F. AWalker.
Why Cats Hate Dogs.'
ONCE upon a time the world was
quite a dismal place to live in,
for ihe land had been dry but a short
time and only one man and woman in
habited its surface. It was moist but
warm, so all over the earth there was
a dense growth of Jungle which was
full of wild animals.
This man did not have any family
name, for names had not been invented.
But his wife called him Bobo, just
because it was easy to say. He was
tall and strong and rather cross at
times.
Now, the Bobo's wife made a fine pie,
and the Bobo, though he dressed in
skins and lived in a cave, was just as
fond of pie as a farm -boy irh Maine.
She had all kinds of luscious fruits to
put in them, so that they leaked, their
sweetness at the edges. These pies
were so good she never had to com
plain of her husband's going away
from home in the evening at least
this woman thought her pies were the
reason but it may have also been the
fact that around in the forest lurked
all kinds of ferocious beasts, the worst
ot which was a huge tiger.
Only one animal lived in the Bobo's
cave. That was a young wolf which
had been caught when a cub. But as
it grew up it became devoted to the
man and woman, so much so that it
would never let any stranger come in
without barking.
But one night the tiger managed to
get its nose in the back of a hole in
the cave and then and there it stole a
pie. Bobo was angry, and so was the
woman, but Ruff, the wolf, was furious.
"I have found a new fruit today,"
said the woman to Bobo about a week
after the tiger had stolen the pie. "It
was on a low tree full of round, green,
hard balls. I imagine they will be fine
cooked, so T am going to fix you up a
nice piece of pie for your Sunday din
ner." That afternoon Mrs. Bobo took a
skin in which she gathered fruit and
went to the tree to pick some. Ruff
followed her. Now. though Ruff could
not talk, he understood everything peo
ple, as well as animals, said, and he
smiled a big. wolf smile when he saw
what the woman was doing for she
was picking green persimmons. And
if there was anything in the world a
tiger hates it is a persimmon, raw or
cooked. It always makes it ill, and
sometimes has a magical effect if taken
by mistake.-
. Ruff had an idea when he saw Mrs.
Bobo put the persimmon pie out on a
rock to cool along with several others.
He took his foot and pushed it under
the stone so she did not find it when
she went at sunset to bring . the
rest in.
' "That's fine." thought Ruff to him
self, as he slipped out at dark and
put the pie back on top of the rock.
"Now let the tiger come ahead he
will get his dose all right."
Presently the brush fire in the cave
died out. The man and woman slept
soundly under their warm skin-bedding,
but Ruff lay awake at the door of the
cave. Pat, pat, pat, came the sound
of the soft footfalls' of the tiger he
was coming around the cave. Ruff
curled his lip in amusement.
The tiger saw . the green persimmon
pie looking very tempting in the moon
light, and with a gulp down his fat
throat it slid. He licked his mouth as
if it tasted bad, then fell on the ground
rolling about in pain.

RufC through a crack in the stone.
"Oh, help me!" shouted the tiger.
