FRANK NICHOLS, former president of the Kenton Parent Teacher Association and of the woman's auxiliary of the North Port land Commercial Club, will be a can didate for the presidency of the Port-Jar.-l Parent-Teacher Council. Scores of clubwomen and members of the as sociation have requested Mrs. Nichols lo run for the office and she has consented. She stands firmly on a platform that discourages the forcing of the Parent Teacher Associations into politics. Of her ideas alonij these lines, Mrs. Nichols said yesterday: 'We should be an educational body. "We should be helpful, teachers and parents co-operating, but we should not become political. We can do a "sreat work and look after the best in terests of the children, the schools and the homes without attaching ourselves to any political scheme or party. "In allowing myself to be placed as a candidate for this office, I want to say that I believe that a woman should keep the office only one year. In that time she can give a vast amount of her time and best efforts to the work, ihe can do constructive service. And then she can step down and. make room for another. In so large a body, representing so much territory, there should be material for a new president each year." Mrs. Nichols was acting secretary of the juvenile exposition last Fall when she did excellent work. Thousands of clever and gifted children, who had work in the exhibit, came into touch with her. The presidents for the last three years have been Mrs. F. S. Myers. Mrs. Martin Wagner and Mrs. Alva Lee fctephenu. Mrs. Mildred Kyle was elected presi dent of the Portland Psychology Club at the annual meeting of that organi zation held yesterday in the Library. Mr. Kyle succeed Mrs. Alva Lee Stephens, who has held the office for the past year. A luncheon will be given by the club on May 15. when Mrs. Eleanor Sanford Largo will give .Shakespearean read ings.

"I have used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for . ten years witn good results and 1 cave four healthy chil dren. This summer I was in a very run I down condition and the very hotweather seemed more than I could stand, but I commenced taking your Compound in June and from then I until September 25th, when my last baby was born. I cot elone much better than I had before. My baby was a girl and weighed 14 rounds at birth, and 1 recovered very rapidly which I am sure was due to your medicine. I am well and strong now, r.urse my Laby and do all my work. I had the same good results with your medicine when needed before my other children came and they are all healthy. I!y mother has taken your medicine with equal satisfaction. She had her last child when nearly 44 years old and feels confidep.t ehe never would have carried him through without your help, fss hpr health was very poor. Mrs. T. Y. Clovd, 1355 North Gulick Ave, De catur, III. Esppctart mothers ehould profit by I !rs. Cloyd's experienee.and trust to Ly dia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Free confidential advice had by ad dressing Lydia E. I'inkham Medicine Co., Lynn, "Has, I III1 'Ml mi Isabel Patrrnin, the ovellt Who Rose to I-'ame la m Day. WHO Is Isabel Paterson? is the nat ural inquiry of the thousands of people who have picked up her first book. "The Shadow Riders." for the first time. The answer is that she is a Young Canadian girl who sold the first book that she ever attempted writing and at one bound mounted to the high est rung of the ladder of success. Her book is listed among the "best sellers" in practically every city in America and Canada, and from pronouced ob scurity she has risen to equally pro nounced fame. The writing career of Miss Paterson is something of a contradiction of the long accepted idea that the successful author must be consumed with a desire to write and must starve a few years while laboriously constructing a plot and weaving words around it. Miss Paterson neither starved nor labored, nor did she have any great desire to write. Her literary career was forced upon her by the vanity of a friend, according to her own state ment. The friend prided herself on the establishment of a salon. Her associ ates must be prodigies of one kind or another. Only women who were de cided successes might be said to "be long." Isabel Paterson. alone of all her ac quaintances, could not sing, dance nor paint. She was not a famous beaty, an -actress, nor did she have any par ticular social position. There was noth ing left to do but to write, and she had no reason to believe that she could do that, Lut facing that or social ostra cism, she wrote a short story or two and sold them. Immediately her ambi tious friend hailed her as a literary Ktnius.yuid she felt obliged o live up to her reputation. The world did not acclaim her so readily, but her little stories did win her 'a Job as bookkeeper on a news paper where she was occasionally givri ar. assignment and a chance to wri'e. At length she procured real newspaper work in Calgary, in Vancou ver, and lrom there eventually reached New York. While engaged in active newspaper writing- in Xew York she worked on her already famous book. "The Shadow Riders." which she sold to a publish ing hous-e the first time that she offered it. Very few short stories pre ceded the book to the market, and those which were printed appeared for the most part in inferior publications and were not credited with any great degree of merit. She is one of the few writers who have won success as nov elists withont prefacing their work with short 3tories. Miss Paterson no longer depends upon the ambition of her friends for an inspiration to write. She now has her own success as an incentive. Im mediately after the publication of her book she gave up her newspaper work in New York and returned to her home in Canada, where she is already en gaged in outlining another novel. yroizE5 T3ICH man, poor man. beggar man, X thief" is going to be an all-day proposition, if any more buttons are added to women's coats. Already there are stunning new models with 60 but tons, 5J down the front and ten scat tered over the sleeves and pockets. The only hope left tests on the possibility that shopspeople are not really telling facts when they say that in a very short time the 50 alarming buttons will be in the back, for what will the hus bands do then? Already matters seem to be ripe for indignation meetings among the married men, since new suit models, that are goiag to be a popular fancy, button down the back. Of course there are only about two dozen buttons on the suits. Luckily the new suits and the new coats are loose, so that the woman who wears them may begin by buttoning the garment up from the bottom apd leaving enough unbuttoned at the top to slip her head through. Even the coats that button up the front with their 50 fastenings neces sitate this method. But the coats are really attractive. Every buttonhole is bound with a lighter or brighter ma terial than the rest of the coat. The buttons, too, are pretty. Some are flat and large. Others are round bone and so illusive and slippery that only an ardent fashion fan will forgive them their trouble for the tone they give. The new coats are long, long enough to touch the shoe tops and wide enough to give the wide barrel silhouette. The linings are button-hole bindings and collars are of like materials. The newest coats seem to run to unfigured materials for lining. Very few of them have belts and many are caped and collared with contrasting colors. A number have buttons continued from the hem of the coat clear up the collar. Big pockets, small ones and no pockets are equal in popularity. WING ARGUMENT HEARD CHIXKSK CHARGED "WITH MURDER WAS BYSTANDER, IS DECLARED. Attorney Asserts Third-Degree Methods of Police Evidence That Proof Was Lacking. Whether Louie Wing shot and killed Leong Yin Luck at the corner of Third and Alder streets during the February tong war, or whether he was an inno cent bystander who was pursued and captured because he ran from the scene, frightened. Is a question which will be put to a jury in the court of Circuit Judge Morrow today. If the four-hour argument of Attor ney Dan J. Malarkey yesterday had its intended effect, the jury will acquit the man of the murder charge, but If Dep uty District Attorney Collier convinces in his closing argument this morning the verdict will be "guilty." Deputy District Attorney Hindman made the opening argument Wednesday night. The courtroom was crowded all yes terday. The defense rests upon the theory of mistaken identity. The police captured the wrong man and the real murderer escaped, is the contention of Attorneys Malarkey & Seabrook. They assert Lee Yit committed the crime. Much stress was laid by Attorney Malarkey in his argument yesterday on the third-degree methods of the police in the attempt to force a confession, which, he asserted, was proof that they were not sure they had the right man. LODGE JO RECALL BIRTH ODDFELLOWS TOMORROW CELE BRATE 87 YEARS IX AMERICA. e of Patriotic a tore and Talks on History of Order Are to Be Features.

CHINESE MONEY GOES UP Exchange to Canton and Other Cities Is Boosted 2 0 Per Cent by War. Chinese money is getting more ex pensive every day. Local bankers are at a loss to explain the cause. The rate of exchange on important Chinese financial centers, such as Can ton. Hongkong and other cities, has advanced more than 20 per cent since the first of the year and the end is not in sight. Normally $100 in Chinese money costs only $43 In Portland. Y'esterday it was quoted at $52.10. Foreign exchange officers in the local banks predicted an advance of $1 today. Local Chinese, therefore, are not sending much money to their former homes. It Is believ?d that the war may have had some effect on the rate.
