SLIDES ILLUSTRATE TALK Preservation of Home as Salvation of Xatlon Is Burden of Plea of Mrs. Jjatourette Work In Camps Is Praised. Forty years of achievement In mis sionary work jn the homeland, 40 years cf continuous growth and success, were reviewed yesterday when the Ameri can Women's Baptist Home Missionary Society celebrated its 40th anniversary by holding a. luncheon in the Multno mah Hotel, and a mass meeting at night In the "White Temple. Mrs. T. S.

Religion Followed by Cleanliness. The ruby was taken as an emblem of the 40th anniversary, and the various addresses told of the work that had been done in "the lapidary shop" of mission work. Miss Nelson tpoke of her Indian converts as "the Jewels gathered In Hopiland." "It pays to minister to these peo ple," she said. "They learn not only what they call the Jesus story, but they learn to keep their homes clean and to care for their children properly." Miss Nelson gave an interesting word picture of her friends In the mission, and at the later meeting Illustrated her talk with beautiful pictures. "Tou can't with money buy God's favor," said Mrs. Tompkins; "you must accompany your gift with love. It is essential to sacrifice to learn the joy of life." Mrs. Tompkins said that they who have "missed the Joy of hard work" have missed one of the best things In life. Satisfaction Comes With Work. She declared that a missionary task was one at which one learns to take hard knocks, but still feels so satisfied she wants to return to the work again. Mrs. O. P. M. Jamison' presided at the luncheon as toastmistress. She was chairman of the committee of arrange ments, and Is state director of the Na tional society for Oregon.

Falling, vice-president of the Columbia River district of the Foreign Missionary Society, spoke of the united mission work as the opening- windows through which the souls of women may receive the light. The great importance of preserving the home as the salvation of the Na tion and the Inspiration that mission work brings to the workers at home and abroad formed the theme of the address by Mrs. D. C. Latourette, of Oregon City, who is secretary of Co lumbia River district! Mrs. A. M. Petty spoke eloquently of The Pearl of Great Price." History of Work Recalled. Miss Carrie O. Millspaugh, secretary of home missions, gave the 40 mile stones of the society from 1877 to 1917. She paid tribute to the early workers and to those who are the leaders of today. Particularly did she praise the activities among the missions of Alaska, among- the Chinese, on the frontiers, in mills and mining Vamps and in the in dustrial school. Mrs. C. A. Wooddy's address was on "Ruby Chips." She termed each per son who helps the mission work as "parts of the great original ruby the sacrifice made that mankind should be saved.

Never did bunco-man make a more luckless choice,- for- Heath was an ac quaintance of Mrs. Lawrence and had learned her story. Detectives Eater Scene. "I know a friend who has the money," temporized Heath, and sent for Detec tive Moloney. To tne aetective, sseevers promised another half of the profits, reserving one-half for himself and Heath. . "What about that third half you are going to give Mrs. Lawrence?" queried the supiosed Investor in verse, and closed the conference by arresting the poet. On the charge of defrauding an inn keener. Municipal Judge Langguth sen tenced Seevers to spend five days in Jail, adding that 45 days would be more like a deserved punishment, but that leniency was extended because of the defendants dependent mother.

"Only a little society plrl," but a heroine in the eyes of hundreds of troopers Just home from the border. Miss Harriet Cumming. It ha devel oped, was sure enough the belle of the ball given at Multnomah Hotel a few days ago for the returning soldiers. She came to their rescue by Instituting herself leader of an improvised orches tra, thereby saving their big welcom ing party that they had gayly looked forward to all the way up from Calex ico. To begin with, the boys had so many admiring friends that the large ball room of the Multnomah was thronged beyond capacity and comfort, and the crowds also surged around the mezza nine floor. The ball followed a big banquet in the assembly hall and, to relieve the congestion and permit the boys to enjoy their first big frolic since their return, the management had the banquet tables and chairs quickly re moved, only to be confronted with the fact that they could not secure an orchestra at that hour. Mlsa Camming- Save Day. Miss Cumming, with her escort. Oliver Huston, were merry spectators, and to the S. O,; S. sent out by the manage ment, the gracious and generous-spirited maid responded. The dancers were called to a halt and a demand made for the Artillery Band to appear on the mezzanine. With a clarinet, a snare drum, and a saxophone, but not a note of music. Miss Cumming directed the "orchestra." aided by the basso voice of Mr. Huston, who attempted to keep the musicians on the same key by sing lng the melodies. At any rate, the dance went on and the assembly hall soon proved much more popular than the ballroom, and the experience of the early evening was In danger of being repeated, with a change of scene. Soldier Boys GratefnL Miss Cumming le considered by all the boys and their many admirers and relatives to be "some pianist." and she was surrounded by an Imposing number of worshipers, who were loath to an swer to the "retreat" at midnight.
