The Tale professor says that the only persons whom a college can really edu cate are those who have what he calls "a family background." And very schoolteacher can identify the pupils who have such a background by their superior alertness, their avldness to learn, their store of general informa tion. Background comes chiefly from the dinner table. Are you giving this at your home? Or is your child one of those who can not be educated until somebody has lifted his family off from him? T. S. M'DANIEL IS BURIED Women'sClubs By EDimKNiGKmoirES.' 1 MEMBERS of the departments of psychology, art and literature of the Portland Woman's Club were pro vided with a series of Instructive sub jects yesterday afternoon at Women of Woodcraft Hall, by Mrs. Florence Belle Crawfordv Dr. George Rebec and Mrs. Mable Holmes Parsons. Mrs. Crawford interpreted Emerson's essay on "Compensation" and empha sized the practical importance of knowl edge of truth and law of harmony as revealed In the subject matter. Dr. Rebec delivered an eloquent and "The Chicago Diet Squad" succeeded in cutting down the average ' cost of each meal to cents in spite of the high cost of foods. And the squad waxed fat and hearty. The most expensive foods are generally the least nu tritious. Two Shredded Wheat Biscuits with milk make a perfect meal, con taining all the nutriment any man or woman needs for a half day's work and at a cost of four or five cents. Shredded Wheat has all the' body-building material in the whole wheat grain in a digestible form. For break fast with milk or cream, or for any meal with fruits. Made in Niagara Falls,N. Y. TrainincTHe ' CHILD BV WILLIAM BYRON FPRBUSH.PHJX (Copyright, 1917.) A TALE professar was trying to find out why it was that his class did -knot seem more interested. The trouble is, professor, that when we get home noDoay seems to care about any of the things that you talk about here. The same professor says that when he rides on the train with the fathers of his students the conversation in eludes nothing but business, real estate and stories. 'Is the home chloroforming the minds .of Its children against educa tion?" The Family Grombllnff Bee. "What do you talk about at your house at dinner?" asked one school child of another. "All we talk about, said the other disgustedly, "is the burned string beans and Aunt Martha's rheumatism and whether we must wear our rubbers when we go out. ' And in the school that day they be gan with the Springtime song from Mendelssohn, they studied about the way the Persians make their rugs and how cotton grows in Alabama, they drew anemones and violets in crayon, they used the stereoptlcon to travel in Brazil, and they closed the day by re citing together Longfellow's "Children's Hour." From such a world outlook the chil dren went home to the daily grumbling bee at the dinner table. Why Lou This Opportunity? Dinner time is the only occasion when the whole, of the average Amerl can family is together. Isn't the oc casion too precious to waste in com plaint, scolding, gossip or petty squab bling? The family table ought to be the knightly Round Table in daily life. The table should be set and the talk keyed as if - for guests. The common meal was intended to be and ought to be come a sacrament. It should be cheerful. Father should not hide his bead behind a paper, John should not Kick trances under th table. Nobody should talk about any thing that everybody is not interested in. Mealtime Feasibilities. What I am saying Just now espe cially is, that meantime might be more broadening. This does not mean that tired father must give a course of lec tures, or that mother roust "read up' while she is ordering the - groceriea The point simply is that each should bring his best to the table. Mother has been shopping end has seen many beautiful things in the shop "Why Are Girls So Unlnterestlngt "To the Editor. I am an oldster, but am interested in youngsters. Will you tell me why the average high school girl is so uninteresting? Of course the boys are not inspired, but they generally have ideas, and. allow ing for their immaturity, are in the main hopeful. But I find the girls are imply vapid. RETIRED." Don't you think It is because tha girls are encouraged to emphasize tha wrong thing? They are socially pro tected, which often includes protection from an Intellectually stimulating at mosphere. People, men and boys espe- ially, thin-k it necessary to talk down to them. They are trained to be looked at instead of to look. And you can't ee if you don t look. What can you expect from a window dummy? It is natural for a girl, so misguided, to mis take a giggle for a remark and to think that the latest slang is the ex pression of a thought. But there is an increasing number of unspoiled girls in the world. Billy Sunday and Toons; People. 'To the Editor- What do you think of the influence of Billy Sunday upon children? My young people all want to go to hear him, but I am somewhat doubtful about the net impression. I wish' we could have gotten at the same thing in a different way. PASTOR. Of -course It is not safe to discuss Billy Sunday without having an um pire handy. The majority of those who go to hear him go as often as they can; a considerable minority would not lis ten to him again for any amount of money. His limitations and liabilities are ob vious. To have the vocabulary of a tough, be Impudent to the Almighty and attack every social institution that has no friends would hardly seem to be the best stock in trade for an evangel 1st to the young. I would very much hesitate to have my own children ex posed to his bloodthirsty religious ideas and his ragtime hymnology. Any boy that had had a high school education, who was converted under his preach ing, would have to disown most of what ho taught him lr he were pos sessed of a 20th century mind. tils one asset is this: He is of the dynamic rather than the devotional type of mind. And young people are mostly in the dynamic stage. Of course he is not devout you know how pain ful it is to hear him pray. He does not emphasize penitence a repentant Billy would be as inconceivable as a repent ant gargoyle. But his idea is that re ligion is not a submission, but a con quest. "Come on, boys, the devil is i fool and we've got him beat. Take my hand; get into the fight; hurrah for victory!" So young folks come down the trail, not with tears of contri tion, but with banners and shouts and songs; they come, cheerfully and with laugcter. to join tne army or the Lord. This is on the whole refreshing. There is a better way. I would try it if I were you. In doing so I would take Just this one leaf from Billy: It is happy and manly to be good. Funeral Is Conducted From First Methodist Church. Funeral services for T. S. McDaniel, chairman of the board of trustees of Willamette University. who died Wednesday, were conducted yesterday afternoon from the First Methodist Church, interment being in Rivervlew Cemetery.

An exhibition which might be of educational and scientific value to phy sicians, but which as a public show drew chiefly the morbidly curious, it was held, was that of the "Cuban twins," a nature freak on exhibit at 127 Broadway, which was prohibited by Juvenile Judge Tazwell yesterday. Complaint had been made to Judge Tazwell by Mrs. Neal R. Crounse, of the Municipal Bureau for the Protec tion of Women, and Mrs. Millie Trum bull, of the Child Welfare Commission and Will Spencer, of the Juvenile Court, closed the exhibit, so far as the twins were concerned.

Mr. Donahue went to Berlin, where he studied unde Krause and Rudoldp Ganz, finally mak ing his debut with the Berlin Philhar monic. Several recitals in Berlin an a tour through Germany brought forth high and discriminating praise from the German critics. The next season in London and Germany was the on before the present war. New York, Boston and Chicago audi ences have been more than ehthusl astlc in their acceptance of Mr. Dona hue. Mr. Donahue is an usual sort of boy, full of enthusiasm and free from freak ishness and mannerisms. He Is on hi way East from his home in Los Ange les, where he played twice the Lisz "E-Minor -Concerto" with the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra. On hi return to New York he is to play with Walter Damrosch. Following is his programme for this afternoon: "Passacaglia" (Bach-d'Al-bert), "Ballade D-Major" (Brahms), "Reflets dansj'eau" (Debussy), "Rhap sodie" (Dohnanyi), "Senata Tragica" (MacDowell), "Waldes rans chen" "Spo- salizio" and "Wedding March (Liszt). Let us get back to common sense natural food Porridge A CENTURY ago a wealthy faddist in old London invited his friends to a "white dinner." Nothing but the old- time whole-grain bread had ever been used before, but a Hungarian miller solved the problem by removing from the dark-colored flour everything but the white starchy parts so that the bread too, at the dinner, might be white. The idea of white foods became a fad and the craze spread all over the world. Dr. Jackson's Roinaa Meal is a return to the old-time; common-sense; natural diet. The almost universal use of white foods is founded upon a FAD. The daily growing popu larity of Roman Meal is founded upon NATURE. Roman Meal is a well balanced combination of whole berries of wheat (30), whole berries of rye (35), wheat bran (10), and flaxseed (25). The flax has been rendered absolutely tasteless and odorless by electricity; it is the most nourishing seed known. Roman Meal prevents indigestion. It relieves constipation, or we will return your money. There are many Roman Meal recipes printed on the package but you can use all or any or your own favorite recipes by mixing 1-3 white flour with. 2-3 Roman Meal. Roman Meal restores the lost balance to the white flour. It makes pancakes so digestible that the most delicate person will relish, them, also waffles, muffins, fruit rocks, gingerbread, brown bread, steam pudding. Ton just ought to see bow the kiddles and grown ups relish Roman Meal porridge with its delicious nut-like flavor. Roman Meal porridge MUST never be stirred, except while mixing meal and water. Roman Meal prevents indigestion. It is porous and remains porous if you do not stir while cooking. The digestive juices reach every particle quickly. Digestion is thus both rapid and thorough. The bran in Roman Meal gives the muscles of their digestive system its natural work to do and thus relieves constipation. The flaxseed also aids in this and prevents the bran from causing catarrh, of the bowel. Ask your doctor. At all grocers. e Pancakes.
