TnE MORNING OREGONIAN. MONDAY, JANUARY 8, 1917. son wointis SAID, DRESS QUICKLY PORTLAND WOMEN WHO TAKE HAND IN EXPLODING BUBBLE THAT WOMAN TAKES "ALL DAY AND OFFICERS OF MUSIC HALF THE NIGHT" TO DRESS. FESTIVAL ELECTED 18 Portland Maids and Matrons Spend Only 10 to 30 Min utes Donning Clothes. TIME CUT IN EMERGENCIES Mayor's Wife Consumes Greatest Length of Time and Actress Is Holder of Record in Speed.. Old Myth Is Dispelled. TVho in Portland can -smash the rec ords for rapid dressing? What Portland woman would receive the prize, were one offered, for chang ing her costume in the least space of time? The question, put to several local women, resulted in a wide range of answers. The shortest time was given by an actress, the longest bir the wife, of the Mayor. Women can dress much quicker now B-days than of yore, they say. Even the men. who have to wait for them, are willing to admit this as a fact. Home ascribe as a cause the use of the taxi, which inspires them to hurry. Others say that the multiplicity of clubs, societies and the many modern demands on a woman's time cause her to appreciate the value of every mo ment. Others say it is the general evo lution of woman, due to the feminist movement. Miss Anna Lee Miller, a pretty co ed, who left yesterday to continue her studies in the University of Oregon, said it takes her about 20 minutes to bathe and dress, and that is the aver age time of her girl friends at Eu gene. Miss Miller said, however, that she uses half of the time doing up her hair, which is thick and long. "One of my friends takes but 10 minutes to bathe and dress," said Miss Miller, "but she has a knack. After all, to dress in a hurry and look well requires that valuable knack." Mrs. McAdoo Spends SO Minutes. A short time ago Mrs. William Mc Adoo, daughter of President Wilson and wife of the Secretary of the Treas ury, is reported to have made the state ment that she had set a world's record by dressing in 20 minutes. Those who met Mrs. McAdoo when she was here know that she dresses beautifully and In perfect taste. Between an auto ride and a luncheon at the J. N. Teal residence, when she was entertained In Portland. Mrs. McAdoo didn't take more than half the time she mentioned as the "record." Miss Ethel Malpas, graduate of St. Helen's Hall and one of the most popu lar of the younger society girls, says every girl should be able to take a dip in the tub and dress in 15 min utes, but merely to change the gown and slippers and do the hair she should be able to accomplish in five minutes, especially if a cab is waiting. And Miss Malpas is always smartly gowned and well groomed. Mayor's Wives "Vary. Hearing of Mrs. McAdoo's record, Mrs. Carter Harrison, wife of the ex Mayor of Chicago, said she could bathe and dress in 13 minutes. Mrs. H. R. Albee. wife of Portland's Mayor, can if she must dress and go to a meet ing, church or on a shopping tour in 6 minutes, and this she often does, but when taking her time, dressing without any rush for a social func tion, Mrs. Albee says she generally takes from 25 to 30 minutes. But that is not when she is trying to make a record. If she isn't in a rush in such a case, she says she believes she could cut the time materially. Mrs. Albee says she is glad the old theory is ex ploded that women take all day to dress. "It all depends on whether or not you have a maid to do the hooking up," said Miss Adele Dyott, daughter of Dr. Luther R. Dyott, of the First Con gregational Church. Miss Dyott is a college graduate and is now, a mem ber cf the faculty of Lincoln High School. "If a girl gets her gown out and all her clothing ready," said Miss Dyott. "she can bathe and dress in 10 minutes' easily. To do it in less would require the assistance of someone to hook up and help generally. Omitting the tub, a woman may easily change her dress and do her hair in 4 or 5 minutes. It takes thought, however, to have everything in its place ready to put on. Actress Defies Any Woman. Ruth Gates, leading woman of the Alcazar Players at the Baker Theater, says that she will defy any woman liv ing to dress faster than she can when haste is necessary. She insists that few weeks ago in one of the Baker plays she made a complete change even her shoes, while a few speeches were made time about one minute-rand if she awakes in the morning at her hotel 10 minutes to 10. with re hearsal called at 10 at the theater. It does not feaze her in the least. A hasty dip and rub may even be In cluded, and she will guarantee to re port on time sans breakfast, to be sure, but dressed and looking 100 per cent more trim and complete than the average housewife does at any hour before matinee time in the afternoon. "No, I never do dress 'leisurely,' " she said. "I only do it because I have to, and get clothes that make it as simple a process as possible time and labor reduced to a minimum as it were, and habit has become so strong that I doubt if I could consume more than 10 min utes, of course assisted by my maid even if I were going to a court ball. So I could only be considered an ex treme not a fair example of the length of time it takes the average woman to dress. I have read jokes in the comics about women taking hours and hours while hubby or sweetheart wait ed below to attend the opera or some thing like that. Perhaps if the line were drawn half way between my rec ord and that of one of those women, the happy medium could be estab lished." Two-Minute Record Made. A young society matron who went to Gearhart for the holiday season de clared that she dressed in two min utes. When she awoke she found she had but half an hour in which to dress. get breakfast and go 20 blocks to the depot. "But." she added, "I forgot to put on some of my clothes and I fear I wasn t as well groomed as I should have been. Ethel Barrymore is said to maintain that she can smash all records by dressing in a minute and a half. But that, surely, could not have included the tub. and there couldn't have been many hooks. The motion picture stars have set a pace that will be hard to follow. They dress in from three, to four minutes. Mabel Taliaferro takes four minutes, but says she prefers , five. 100 Hogs Net $2068.

BILL WELL BOUNDED Orpheum Jammed With Mirth- Producing Acts. PATTER IS DECIDEDLY NEW From First to Iiast Joy Is in Evi dence' and Audience Is Con vulsed With Laughter by Merry Skits on Boards. BT LEONE CASS BAER. If that world-old expression, "well rounded," means smoothed at its edges until it Is full of fine curves and all Its wrinkles are smoothed out like Lillian Russell's and if "well rounded" gives a quality for sizzing rapidly through space and arriving somewhere with the big noise, then well rounded can for once be applied aptly to the Orpheum bill this week. For its wrinkles are new ones only, new quirks of pattern, new songs, acts that are new in entirety and the whole certainly whizzes merrily through spaces of large dull care. So you might, after all, refer to It as a mighty well-rounded bill. To keep on with the metaphor and to step out of It at the same time, the flying. Henrys set the ball a-rolllng. Up In the sky like birdies they fly on a cavorting trapeze a little white-clad girl angel without wings and an acro batic boy angel, who dare and devil In midair. Then the sphere of Joy gets a big kick from Charles Irwin and Kitty Henry In "Comin' Thru the Rye." It is Charles' apparent peregrinations through the path of rye before the act opens that provide him with a fine hiccough, a fund of dry humor and some corking songs. Charles keeps a comin' through the rye until -the audi ence is Intoxicated also, but with laughter. Kitty helps out In lots of ways, principally by her fresh young charm and sassy ways. Next the ball Is rolled along by John and Winnie Hennings. Winnie Is acutely plump and doesn't do much that's exciting, but Johnnie Is the fine lad for entertaining. He Is a Richard Carleish type all gone to legs thin, weird, dancing legs they are, too. He capers about, toots on a trombone and makes a big dent in the audience s heart because he's a genuine laugh- maker. They're billed as the "Kill Kare Kupple," and, righto, they are Jack Donahue and -Alice Marion Stewart have an unusual act. Alice is just like some of the cut-up maids we all know, with a Roland for all of our Olivers. She wears boys' trousers and. with the sad-eyed Jack, she raises hob all over the stage. Jack sends us into convulsions with his burlesque on classic dances. Then the ball Is whirled rapidly through time and trouble by the artistry of Phyllis - Neilson-Terry known as England's most brilliant young actress, fshe is the daughter of Fred Terry, and a niece of the famous Ellen Terry and she is, too, an actress of splendid emotional and dramatic power. She presents two scenes from Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet." the first. Friar Lawrence's cell, and again. the bedchamber scene, when, as Juliet, she drinks the potion. Miss Neilson Terry brings to the role a wealth of understanding of the poet's lines, and gives new shadings and an interpreta tinn that is stamped with fire and fine passion. But it is in her singing- part of her act that has naught to do with the Shakespearean presentation that Miss Neilson-Terry amazes and de lights. She has a faultless coloratura soprano, with flute notes of glorious purity, soaring, flawless and piercingly-sweet, clear above the- toppest note most of us is asquainted with. I'm go ing every performance just to her her sing "Ben Bolt." It is heavenly sweet. Milt Collins, the "Speager of the ouse, returns with a new discourse on National and international eventb, which, for sheer audacity and original ity, is a real adventure in fun. Giving the ball its last impetus Is Burdella Patterson, lovely and lithe of body, all done up in a union suit, which acts as the plot In a marvelous lot of pictures which are thrown around the lady's body. And the Orpheum travel weekly travels all through Turkey, China and South America, with profit and pleasure to us all. 100 CANADIANS TO VISIT Tourist Agents Promise Delegation at Bridge Dedication. British Columbia will send a delega tion with 100 automobiles to help cele brate the dedication of the Interstate bridge over the Columbia River be tween "Portland and Vancouver, if the determfhation expressed yesterday by the Canadian delegation to the North west Tourist Association can be made good. The Canadian party was taken yes terday for a trip over the Columbia Highway, and returned bubbling over with enthusiasm, and it was then that they declared their intention to bring everyone they can down over the Pa cific Highway to the bridge dedication and to make a trip over the Columbia Highway. The members of the visiting party left yesterday afternoon for Victoria and. Vancouver. BARTHOLOMEW EATS WELL Convicted Murderer Appears to Be . Nowise Disheartened. Imprisonment for life isn't going to affect Edward Bartholomew's appetite, say his keepers at the County Jail, who have remarked the zest with which tne convicted murderer of John Lind still attacks his rations. Since Bartholomew was found s-iilltv on Saturday he has refrained from any expression or aisappolntment at the verdict, and has been & quiet, model prisoner plainly considering the years of Imprisonment before him. but in nowise entirely disheartened. When the sentence of life imprison ment is imposed by Judge Davis this morning in the Circuit Court, the ac tlve annals of the widely notorious (srecn liuqk muraer win come to a ciose. FRATERNITY HAS MEMORIAL Beta Phi Sigma Men Attend First Congregational Church. Beta Phi Sigma fraternity members attended the First Congregational Church yesterday morning in a body. ine regular communion service and a memorial for the departed members of the fraternity constituted the morn ing's programme. Each year the men attend church together as a tribute to their members who have passed away. Dr. Luther R. Dyott preached an in spiring sermon to the young men. giv ing them an optimistic outlook for the future and many suggestions for the present. He spoke in praise of the good work done by the fraternity. The fraternity men all remained to communion, in which several hundred participated.

Mac ' Naughton, Plain Viands, Eaten Slowly, Antidote for High Cost. FANCY DISHES FROWNED ON Pleasant Conversation Recommend ed as Good Seasoning and Care in TJ6e of Properly Bal anced Ration Urged. While all the clamor of the high cost of living is being raised, there is one pnase mat nas. as yet been untouched. A part solution of the high cost of liv ing lies,, say prominent physicians, in this Injunction, "Eat your food slowly Physicians in Portland agree that most people eat their food altogether too fast, and that If common foods were eaten with a great deal of deliberation and seasoned with pleasant conversa tion, there would be less indigestion, more of the staple foods eaten, and a depreciation in the aize of the family grocery bill. While some persons follow doctor's orders in almost every other particu lar, few are able to resist eating things that "look good," regardless of what the after effects may be. They are willing to suffer for the sake of gratl fying a languishing palate. in a recent issue of one of the reput able health bulletins there appeared some sound advice that may be fol- owed with beneficial results. Here is the professional advice: The average person needs certain elements of nourishment supplied in common articles of diet. "He needs them in varying amounts according to tne character or his work play. What is called a balanced ration may be had In a variety of meats and vegetables, and the balance should be maintained by varying the amount of proteids. starches and fats to meet the demands of hot or cold weather. "During the next few months of cold weather everybody needs more fat. but ter, cream and vegetable oils, which. properly aigested, make body heat. HIP' ACTS ARE PLEASING NOVELTY BILL WINS APPROVAL OF CROWDED HOUSES. Clipper Trio, Pala of the Street," In Childish Romance, and Other Good Xumbtri Are Given. The Hippodrome bill of the week Is distinctly a novelty bill. Not one act is Just exactly what you expect it will be. That is in a measure responsible for the popularity accorded the bill which won packed houses yesterday at continuous performances. A happy trio of singing youths, who sparkle with wit and bubble with laughter, are the Clipper Trio, pre senting "Bits of Fun and Song." The great big husky, the debonalre beau and the "sissy" are depicted "Just for fun" and quite good song numbers are tneir contribution. What may well be termed an un usual number Is "Pals of the Street,' by Talford and Besslo. The fat lad and his chubby little sweetheart are Just like what they re meant to be, children of the alley, with an exag geratea idea or their childhood ro mance. Clever "kiddish" songs and ballads they sing. Both have good voices. A quarrel and the making up brings shouts of laughter, and the boy is well, that would be telling. A popular act is that of Drexler and Robert, a violinist and concertina play er, xney are uniquely attired, and th music far more pleasing than many a gooa act or similar type. One of the brightest canine actors is on the Hipodrome bill starring in A True rrteaa. ine act Is clean fine and the dog highly intelligent. There is even a plot and the dog plays the. hero. A circus act with sensational traDeze stunts is by Zeno, Jordon and Zeno. Jack and Vera, two clever people. present a barrel and acrobatic act that is pleasing. "Pearl of the Army" Is shown this week. 110 On Roseburg Honor Roll. ROSEBURG, Or.. Jan. 7. (Special.)

The melting point of ductile tungsten is higher than of any other known metal and its tensile strength exceeds that of iron and nickel. William F. Woodward Chosen President of Portland's New Association. CONSTITUTION IS ADOPTED Directors to Elect Musical Director to Train Chorus of 500 to 1000 Voices, to Be Ready When , Auditorium Opens. These officers were elected yesterday at a meeting of delegates to the Port land Music Festival Association, the body that will direct the music pro gramme for the opening of the new Civic Auditorium, about June, 1917. President, William F. Svoodward; first vice-president. Edward Cooking ham; second vice-president. William A. Montgomery; secretary, William R. Boone; treasurer. Nelson G. Pike; members of the board of directors, M. Christensen. Franck G. Eichenlaub, Jacob Kanzler, John Claire Monteith, Frederick W. Goodrich. Samuel C. Bratton. Nelson G. Pike. V. N. Daniels, the president of the Ad Club, the presi dent of the Rotary Club and the presi dent of the East Side Business Men's Club; and the president about to be elected of the Progressive Business Men's Club. By the terms of the con titution. President Woodward. Firs Vice-President Cooklngham and the Commissioner of Public Works are also members of this board of directors. The Mayor of Portland is an honorary member. M. Christensen, W. A. Montgomery and John Claire Monteith were ap pointed a committee to notify the other officers of the board of their election. There was no friction over the se lection of the individual officers, but several delegates fussed and talked at length over petty details affecting the framing of the constitution. For instance, after the constitution had been passed, an objection arose to declaring the Mayor of this city a member of the board of directors, as one rule provided. Then somebody suggested that the motion adopting the constitution be reconsidered, and this was done. The section affecting the election of the Mayor was "killed." Then somebody else said it was a pity that the Mayor was left out in the cold, and one tender-hearted delegate moved that the Mayor be elected an honorary member, and In a burst of enthusiasm this was done. The constitution as printed in The Oregonlan of December 18 was adopted nearly in full, with trifling altera tions. The new legislation provides that the annual personal liability of sustaining membership shall be deter mined by the board of directors; that four directors shall be elected from among the presidents of the business organizations of this city, two direct ors at large, and the remainder from among the active membership of musi cal organizations, and that these com mittees be appointed by the president of the association, membership, sus taining, finance, publicity, auditing, voice and programme. President Woodward will soon call a meeting of the board of directors who will select a musical director to train the chorus, and who will arrange for chorus rehearsals. It is desired that no further time be lost, as there is barely sufficient opportunity left to train a new chorus of. say 500 to 1800 voices in the oratorios 'Messiah. Elijah." "Judas Maccabeus" or some other oratorio to be selected, for pub lic production this Summer. The "daddy" of this musical restivai Idea, the man who has earned it through to definite organization, is Frederick W. Goodrich, aided by Franck G. Eichenlaub. THE reopening ox ino university ui Oregon and Oregon Agricultural College caused the exodus of about 500 young men and women from Port land yesterday. Special trains bore the merry passengers to Corvallis ana Eugene, and several of the boys and girls of prominent families went away to private schools and denominational colleges.
