MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2G, 19X7, GIRLS WITH BRAINS SOUGHT FOR WIVES PORTLAND WOMEN ACTIVE IN INITIAL WORK OF WAR RELIEF SOCIETY APPEAL FOR RECRUITS. 14 g 1 All Charge Purchases Telephone If You Cant Come Mar. 4600 A-6101 Portland Young Men Not as Exacting as Are Har- vard Students. FEW ASK FOR PRETTINESS Attractive, Sympathetic, Vivacious, Child-Loving Woman, With a Keen Mind, Jnst About Fills General Demand. ROUND TABLE BOYS DESCRIP TION OK THE "GlIiL, WORTH "WHILE." She is attractive, graceful and healthy, but not necessarily pretty. She can dress tastefully, and entertain anyone and make him feel at ease. She can make bread as well as fudge, and cake as well as rare bit. She is appreciative of the dance and of the sports. She is broad-minded, sympa thetic, tactful, unselfish, opti mistic, thrifty, of good' disposi tion and moderate in all things. She can stand reverses without worry. She is gentle to children and kind to older people, especially her parents. She has a broad education, but not necessarily a college one. She is modest and true and home-loving. She has good social standing. Is of a religious nature and is not too proud to pray. Portland young men, with character istic Western chivalry, have sprung to the defense of woman by qualify ng materially the exactions Harvard students would demand, in "the girl worth while." The "Round Table Boys." members of the graduate school at Harvard, re cently got together and drafted their Ideas of the "girl that's worth while,' and as a matter of fact left few or no loopholes by which any other than a perfect woman could hope to escape into the blissful sea of matrimony. The limits wero hard, high and fast. Portland marriageable bachelors are not so academic in holding them to so near the acme of feminine perfection. Here is what representative Portland bachelors say would be a composite and acceptable type: She must be good looking with the sort of good looks that increase in at tractiveness. She must be brainy. She must be quick in sympathy and keen in perception. She must be vivacious. She must be able to enjoy a good time yet recognize the value of and take advantage of the things worth while. She must recognize and appreciate the value of endeavor and achievement.- She must love children. Here you have the composite ideal of the several Portland young men, all either established In business in the city or backed with energy and ambition enough to vouch for their future. Teachers, attorneys and doc tors have ascribed to the "Woman I Will Marry." the foregoing character istics. On these points all seem to agree, although there is wide diver gence in other qualities. For instance, C. E. Spencer, Univer sity of Oregon graduate and practising attorney, would have as the most at tractive quality a beauty of character that is expressed in some beauty of face. Mr. Spencer's Ideal would not have to be pretty or beautiful merely to look at but should have a person ality that radiated character. Here la a more definite description of Mr. Spencer's "woman worth while." "She must have beauty or Inner rather than external, qualities. I would pre fer her not to have experienced wealth. I would have her to be thrifty, not for the sake of the money but for the sake of the things money can buy. T ii-nii T A Vi i Vi i mAHinm sW.A Al though her ' complexion matters not. "She must be my mental superior, but let that characteristic be exhibited without my realizing it. She must of keen perception and quick sympal..y and a lover of literature and music. I don't care whether she is interested particularly in cooking or other do mestic duties but she must love child ren. I would have her pursue the thing she is most interested in and if that be cooking so much the better." Gordon A. (Josh) Billings, dental stu dent at the North Pacific Dental Col lege and a resident of the rather ex clusive bachelors' retreat at 291 West Park street, dismisses the academic Harvard requirements with: "Oh, what's the use?" As an after thought Mr. Billings added: "They don't come boxed, ribboned and labeled that way. What's food for one is poison for an other." John Henry Boyd. Princeton and Northwestern graduate and attorney, Would have his ideal of rather me dium size and vivacious. "She must have dark hair and be rather chub by," said Mr. Boyd. "But above every thing else she must have brains. "I would also have her tactful, though with very decided views. If occasion required It I would want her to be willing to fight for what she considered her right. The mere pos session of brains would not suffice, but she must be sensible and have that quality of knowing what to do in every contingency." A certain medical student would have his ideal vigorous in body with a. vigor derived from participation in out-door sports, and with a vigor of mind attained through wide reading of healthy and broadening literature. He would have her domestic, that being one of the chief exactions. There seems to be a search among Portland young bachelors for women with brains; women who might keep them on the qui vive in their chosen work; women who would offer them a constant stimulus for better work in their professions. It has been said that young men are more exacting in their demands when women are seriously considered. If you are a woman and are reading this you will have an excellent chance to judge the truth of that remark. y X 1 fi-vk; . A IS I U - l'-, , :J4 I ! f v 4y i" " .

WORK IS FOR WOUNDED Surgical Dressings Are Uelng Pre pared for Expected Large Num ber of Casualties In Spring Battles in Europe. More workers are needed In the Port land War Relief Society. This organ ization which was formed to help alle viate the sufferings of the soldiers of Europe by providing surgical dressings and bandages has been maintained by a group of. women who have worked untiringly. The bandages are made according to pattern and measure of experts of the hospitals and the work is done in the headquarters at 416 Spalding building. All who wish to help are Invited to meet tomorrow morning with those who are now members. The working days are Tuesday and Wednesday morn ing and all day Thursday. Mrs. Charles Scadding started the Work in the Fall of 1915 and has always been an earnest worker. Mrs. A. L. Maxwell. Mrs. Elliott Corbett. Mrs. Bert Allen, Mrs. E. C. Malpas. Mrs. H. N. Burpee, Miss Hirsch, Mrs. W. D. Wheelwright and many others were among those who were loyal supporters of the cause and who devoted their mornings to making the bandages, of which 333.133 were sent to the hos pitals and trenches that year. Later, Mrs. W. J. Burns became pres ident of the present organization. She has had the continued assistance of the ame women and many others who have Joined. But these women, although not weary of well doing, are, they say, anxious to get others interested and they want more helpers. They anticipate that the final campaign will be this Spring, and want to be ready for it. One-half of the materials made up will go to the British American Society In New York and the other half to the Surgical Dressings Committee in New Tork. They, in turn, place them where they are most needed. In 1916 the Portland society shipped 62.170 pieces. The Portland Society Is a unit of the big organization of women in all parts of this country and in Europe, who are busy making the surgical dressings. There are from 20 to 40 workers at each meeting here. The members hope to double the number. The materials are provided from funds subscribed by cVU business men and others interested in the humanitarian work. Many of the women have given up so cial affairs, luncheons,' lectures, etc, to devote their time to bandage-mak ing, xne worn nas not been a fad like knitting box. It has been a mat ter of earnest, sincere work. 1 -. A. 1 & ' It-, i I J II ! if , ? v .cSr 4T" ii 1 Arcv A A ITPPER, LEFT TO RIGHT MR!. BERT ALLEX, MRS. ELLIOTT RrGOLES CORBETT. FROST ROW MRS. F.

BIRDS ARE BEING FED KITmi.T PERSONS SCATTER FOOD DUItlSa SNOW STORMS. k lemon squeezer operated by a small fric motor is a novelty designed Uy for public places. Feathered Stock Quick to Take Advan tage of Tltonglitf alncfls Need Great on Heights. Remember the birds. . The sudden recurrence last week of Winter weather and snow has left the feathered etook in painful straits, es peclally on the heights around Port land. The snow has covered the ground to considerable depth and foraging for food is a thankless task for the birds. Members of the Audubon Society and others thoughtful of the birds' welfare are feeding many of the birds and urg ing others to do likewise. On the heights, where the birds make their rendezvous, it is unlikely that the snow - will pass for another day or so. Residents in those parts are urged to scrape clear a place where food can be strewn and pans of warm water set out at intervals during the day. Other sections of the city where the snow has failed to disappear offer opportunity for the humane work also. The birds have shown themselves quick to take advantage of the thoughtful- Bess and provisions. ROOM BE LISTED Preparations for Big Conven tion Being Laid Out. 30,000 VISITORS EXPECTED Residents Asked to Aid in Entertain ing Delegates to National Edu cation Meeting to Convey Favorable Impression. During the coming week a canvass will be begun for listing rooms in which to place the thousands of echool teachers who are expected in Portland for the convention of the National Edu cation Convention July 7 to 14. Preparations are to be made to house approximately 30,000 visitors. They must have nice, clean, comfort able rooms, and are said to be willing to pay for their comforts. Portland hotels, rooming houses and apartment houses will be listed and tabulations made as to the number of delegates they can care lor. Then the residence district will be invaded and all Portland homes will be asked to place from one to four rooms at the disposal of the committee of which Hopkin Jenkins is chairman. It is believed that the capacity of the leading hotels will be reserved long before the convention dates, and that when the big rush starts every re source of the city will have to te requisitioned. Guides to Be Provided. 1 When the delegates arrive at the depots, they will be conducted to the headquarters for the Hotels and Roonw committee by squads of the reception committee Organization. At the headquarters Mr. Jenkins and his assistants will make out assign ment clips, hand them to one of the Portland high school boy guides and send the guests by the most direct route to their temporary home. The guides are now being trained by Principal S. F. Ball, and will be able to answer any question that may be asked about the city. "We hope that the citizens of Port land will respond to our call for rooms." said Chairman Jenkins yester day. "We will need approximately 10, 000 rooms if the attendance is any where near as large as the national officers estimate. "Our plan Is to have the canvass made by older pupils of the city schools. One block will be assigned to a student and that canvasser will call at each home. . Public Opinion at Stake. "We understand that many of our Portland residents may be prejudiced against taking in strangers as room ers, but we hope they will co-operate In this instance. The teachers who will be here are nice people, such as one would ordinarily invite to the homo as a guest. "All Portland residents want to give these visitors a. good impression of the city and its surroundings, and there Is no better way to do It than to open our homes and show that the hospital ity we boast of is the genuine brand. "It will facilitate matters If Portland householders would be ready to assist the canvassers when they call, and will readily respond to the need for listing rooms." Widow Gets $2 5 00 for Death.

When persons keep telling me that they never had glasses with which they could see so well in years, that they are the best glasses they ever had, that piey can now see better than ever before, there must be something in know ing how to fit their eyes. The following statement from one of our satisfied patients is inter esting and speaks for itself: - "For years I have been trou bled with my eyes and have worn sjlaaaen fitted by various ones, with but temporary re lief. The iluiet you made for me gave me relief at once and now, after wearing; them for three weeks, my eyes feel per fectly well. I can read (or hours without nny headache or eye strain.' I do not under stand why - others could not have slven me this relief yeara ago." Properly fitting glasses to the eyes Is not alone mechanical work nor luck. It requires aklll. knowledge, ability and, experience. -Meddlers, clerks in jewelry, kodak and other Btores may have a legal right to sell you a pair off glasses and you may be able to see better- -a hand magni fying glass held before the eyes makes things appear larger but can you afford to wear themf Have a specialist's examination. We do. not use drugB in examining the eyes nor charge for the examination. Settle the Question for yourself. iet It done right.
