Reports showing: a vast amount of work accomplished by the clubs of the Oregon Federation of Women's Clubs vcre given at all three sessions of the etate convention today. The effort that included the co-operation of the entire organization, the work of the scholarship loan fund, was accorded especial honors in that the tenth anni versary of that department was cele brated. Mrs. Frederick Egpert, chair man, who has been at the head of the work for the entire ten years, termed the fund 'the personal equation." Tounjg Women Helped, One hundred and forty-two loans have been made to young: women strug gling for higher education, louring the period of its existence the fund has received $17,93?. 16. Following is an extract from Mrs. Egbert's report: "Of the 142- loans, 75 have been paid In full, 65 remaining unpaid. The 27 unpaid of the 28 loans of the past year can hardly, be said to be due; so, in fact, only 38 of the 142 are approxi mately or actually delinquent. Of these, one is a total loss and four very doubt ful. The amount, $280, is less than 2 per cent of the amount loaned, a re markable showing for ten years' busi ness. "As for the personal equation, neither time nor space would suffice for an adequate presentation of the human Bide of this- work, or our varied expe riences in serving as the agency of the clubs of Oregon in meeting the needs of worthy, .respected and self-respecting young women whose limited means close the door of opportunity were it , not for this, fund dispensed as a philan thropy but in no sense of the word a charity."

As a practical demonstration of the prood of the scholarship loan fund and us a tribute to its worth. Miss Fay Clark, of Vale, one of the youngest county superintendents in the country, pave an address in which she told how the club fund had befriended her and been the means of her acquiring an education and fitting herself for the position she now holds so well. Miss Clark's territory is large and she rides from school to school, often using an old buckboard. but wherever she goes, he said, she has a word of praise for the efficiency of the club scholarship loan fund.

"For France." the early-week photo play attraction at the Sunset, is a de cidedly patriotic feature, and is pro ductive of much applause. But when a lone spectator chose moments for ap plause when other members of the au dience were audibly expressing indig nation or anger, tolerance ceased to be a virtue and cries of "Put him out" were followed by the sudden exit of the offending One with the none-too-gentle assistance of the two boys in khaki.
