ident of the Hostess club. Rev. J. R.
Bell offered the invocation and Mrs.
M. L. T. Hidden of Portland re
sponded. In her address Mrs. C. H. Castner,
president, emphasized the need for
clubwomen to be leaders in the thrift
movement and in promoting love for
home and homemaking. She said:
"There are no more perplexing or
complicated problems than exist in
the home. For all professions we are
required by law to be trained before
entering. For the home there Is a
general lack of training. We must
omit something in the course of prep
aration for life work if necessary to
make room for this science if our na
tion is to rise industrially, financially,
economically and morally.
Home -Nation's Foundation.
"Much has been written and spoken
on Americanization the absorbing of
the foreigner into American citizen
ship. This shows that the foundation
of the nation is in the home. The
home stands for service, simplicity
and sincerity, if rightly conducted.
The home should be our world of ac
tion and of thought."
The general plan of the general fed
eration as outlined by the organiza
tion includes Americanization, thrift
and community service. Of some of
these plans Mrs. Castner said:
"The Initial step Is that each club
president form an active committee
on Americanization:
"First, in communities where there
is no foreign-born population, with
the purpose of undertaking serious
constructive study to mould public
opinion and thereby influence legisla
tion.
Study of English Urged.
"Second, in communities containing
a large number of foreign-born peo
ple, for active, progressive work,
either to supplement Americanization
effort already under way through
some other organization, or if no
such work exists, to Introduce It. Per
haps the most obvious line of effort
lies in promoting the study and use
of the English language.
"Handbooks on the subject have
been secured and will be distributed
to each club during the session.
"The general federation has accept
ed appointment from the government
to carry forward the thrift campaign
for the year through the women's or
ganisations. Your president was
asked to name a chairman for Oregon
and appointed Mrs. F. W. Settlemier
of Woodburn. who will outline the
plans to you during the session.
Haslarsa ta Begin Today.
The business of the federation con
vention will begin tomorrow morning.
Reports will be heard and resolutions
read and details of federation state
work discussed. Meantime politic
will be discussed wherever two ot
three are gathered together.
Mrs. Ida Callahan and Miss Mattle
Beatty are mentioned as candidates
for the presidency. Mrs. Collins El
kins Is a popular choice for first vice-
president. Mrs. J. W. Sadler, Mrs
M. L. T. Hidden and a number of
others are being urged to run for directorships.
Friends of Mrs. Shields Arc
Astonished By Her Rapid
Improvement.
"I was in bad shape when I decided
to fry Tanlac." said Mrs. P. L. Shields
of 2118 107th avenue, Oakland, Cali
fornia, in an interview recently. "But
I am now well and happy and have
undergone such a wonderful change
since I began using Tanlac that I
would hardly be taken for the same
person. In fact, my friends, who have
not seen me in the last few weeks,
seem astonished and want to know
what I have been takinr to make me
look so different.
"Two years ago I had a spell of
grippe that left me in a wretched
condition and pulled me down from a
stout, healthy woman to a nervous
and physical wreck. My appetite left
me completely and night after night
I never slept a wink on account of my
nervousness and misery. I could not
eat anything without suffering in
tense pain afterwards and I would
bloat up with sour gas until I could
hardly breathe. Finally I got down
with rheumatism in my shoulders,
hands and limbs.
. "At - this time I got to thinking
about how others said Tanlac had
helped them and I somehow felt that
it might help me, too.
"Before I had finished my first bot
tle my appetite was better and now I
eat Just anything I want, never have
the least trouble with my stomach
and my sleep is sound and restful
every night. I had fallen off in
weight until I was hardly more than
a frame of skin and bones and. while
it may sound unreasonable, it's the
truth. I have actually gained forty
pounds Bince I began taking Tanlac
about ninety days ago and if anyone
could feel like a new person I do. I
have told hundreds of people about
Tanlac and will keep on praising it
the remainder of my life. "
Tanlac is sold in Portland by the

the office of County Auditor Martin.
This was for their work on a $1,
750,000 structure. Local engineers
who seek to have the proposed $5,
000,000 bridge construction pro
gramme for replacing the Burnside
and Morrison bridges put entirely
under the control of the state high
way commission, without any com
mission or royalties to be paid, are
asking what size slice would go to the
engineers If the work on the Willam
ette bridges is given into private
hands. S. Benson, chairman of the
state highway commission, is confi
dent that his engineers can handle
the job and save the county $300,000
or more.
The Kansas City engineers received
$65,000 for their services in supervis
ing construction and planning the in
terstate bridge and an additional $15.-
000 royalty on the lift draw installed.

paid 5-7 of this total amount, or
$57,152.86; Clarke county, Wash., paid
2-7 of the $80,000, or $22,857.14.
Reports of the county auditor for
the first nine months of 1919 show
a balance on hand in the county gen
eral fund October 1 of $57,177.06 and

ASTORIA YOUTH HELD FOR BIG

Accused Neither Admits Openly Nor

"Well, the other boys had nothing to

happens to me, but I want to clear
Meadors and Clergy. They are inno
cent.
Such was the terse statement of
Frank Wagner today, when asked If
he had anything to say regarding the
blowing of the safe in the Walter
Kallunki store. Wagner, who is rather
surly in his manner, but quick-witted
and sharp enough to plan his own de
tense, made no direct denial of having
robbed the safe, nor would he admit it
openly. However, by inference, he in
timated that he intended to assume
the blame and make an effort to clear
his companions.
Asked why he bored holes in the
floor at the store when there was
trapdoor which could have been raised
easily to gain entrance from the base
ment, Wagner replied:
'I was taking no chances. Tou know
there might have been a wire with a
bell at the end attached to that door
that would have given an alarm. It
doesn't pay to run such a risk."
