The right claw of the creature was
Its right hand and was armed with
sharp teeth, whereas the left olaw had
teeth which were short : and blunt.
While that arrangement of the teeth
was the case with about to per cent of
the lobsters, there were about 1 or t
per cent, at any rate. In whioh the con
dition was reversed, and the sharp
teeth were on the left side and the
blunt teeth on the right That was
just exactly the proportion of left
handed persons among human beings.

SINCE the open jacket and the loose,
omi-fittlng coat are to be the vogue
through the Fall and Winter, the
feminine wardrobe la not complete for
the season without a number of smart
waists and blouses to be worn with the
suit of leather-brown or purple, and the
(new Autumn stocks offer a wide variety
from which to choose, and of any degree
of elaborateness suited to one's pocket
book, ell the way from thp simple little
blouse of plain silk and a lace frill to
the most fanciful combinations of expen
sive embroidered silks or satins and the
daintiest of laces In extravagant quanti
ties, measuring up the round, elusive dol
lars appallingly in their fetching frivols
and flounces.
The all-over lace waist will be as pop
ular as ever this season, and with Its
dainty and often elaborate silken lining.
Is more dressy than ever. Combinations
of silks and satins, in the most deli
cate tints, with Inserting and lace, are
also found In the fancy waists, and the
dainty tints of Dresden ribbon are at

PRESIDENT OF WOMAN'S CLUB
DELIVERS INAUGURAL ADDRESS
THE3 Women's Club held the first
meeting, after' the Summer va
cation, in the Women of Wood
craft Hall Friday afternocra and
Judging from the attendanoe which
was large and representative, and
the enthusiasm which prevailed
throughout, the club is starting off
very auspiciously for the coming sea
son of 1007 and 1908.
The meeting was presided ever by
the new president, Mrs. Frederick
Eggert, whose dignity and ability
lends grace to any assemblage.
The calendar committee, with Mrs.
John W. Alexander as chairman, has
worked faithfully during the Summer
and have compiled a splendid pro
gramme for the coming season, includ
ing such notable men as Mr. Enos A.
Mllla of the United States Forestry
Bureau, who will address the club
October 26. As this is a subject
fraught with much interest to all Ore
gonians, the ladles generously agreed
to make this an open day, since there
are many who might be more than
glad to embrace an opportunity to
hear Mr. Mills, who has a National
reputation. On February 14 Rev. W.
H. Foulkes will address the ladles on
"The Small College." This promises
to be a very rich afternoon. On
March 13 a rare treat Is In store for
tho club in a stereopticon lecture on
"Some Cathedrals and Churches in
France." by the Right Kev. Charles
Scaddlng. - L. D.. Bishop of Oregon.
The club departments are all In flour

Is topped with a dainty frill of Valen

sleeves are prettily finished to match,
the frill. of lace being embroidered to the
sleeves and collar, instead of stitched to
them. Some of the new waists are fitted
with severely plain yokes, but this one
Is fashioned fancifully, as are mOBt of

the palest blue and the lace of delicate
cream.

as leaders of the rest of the depart

splendid results at the end of the en
suing year. Mrs. MofTet, the chair
man of the English Literature depart
ment, has secured Dr. Chapman as
leader. Mrs. Welster has also been
most fortunate in securing A. A.
Lindsay, M. D., one of the most emi
nent lecturers on psychology in
America. The president's address of
greeting was a fine exposition of some
of the points that club women are
striving to uphold and was met with
great enthusiasm. Mrs. Sarah A. Ev
ans gave a review of the Jamestown
Exposition, full of information and
bright, well-put observations. Mrs.
Eggert's address follows:
To the Officers and Members of the 'Wom

In assuming the duties and reBponalbllttlea
of the position wltn which you honored me,
I do so with an earnest purpose to maintain
the high standards set by my honored prede
cessors, hoping also that the end of the
year may find us advanced along all lines
of werlc and Influence, - ,
As we, this day, after the Summer of rest
and recreation, take up the active work of
the year, let us ever bear In mind the ob
ject of this club as stated In our constltu
tLon. vlx: "To secure concert of action In
Intellectual, philanthropic and social activi

In No. 2 is shown one of the new nov
elty waists, with the klmona effect over
the shoulders and down the front, this
being given by a straight, ungathered
Bounce of fine Mechlin lace. Here and
there bits of the sheerest muslin, with
frlllings of fine Valenciennes, are com
bined with the Mechlin lace of coarser
weave, but with harmonious and charm

Another combination of web-lace -. and

As wltn individuals, so with organisations,
one of the prerequisites of usefulness In
, this busy world Is a practical conception of
the value of time, and another almost in
separable from it is the faculty of dlcrlm
Inatlon in favor of the things that are
Worth while as against those lesser things
that are of .small account.
No Time for Trifles.
While advancing the larger purposes for
which this club exists, let ns not. for the
sake of unimportant trifles, fritter away
the valuable tune of Our all too brief busi
ness sessions by frivolous disputations which
are neither creditable nor profitable to us in
dividually or collectively.
And while speaking of our business see
sions, let me say la passing that in roy
?ersonal opinion It is a mistake to admit vis
tors during this hour.
A visitor entering in the midst of an ear
nest discussion and unaware of what has
gone before may receive an impression
which does the club great Injustice. Again,
business may ansa which in Itself Is per
fectly legitimate, proper and even essential
to the best interests of the club that should
not be aired before others not responsible for
its nonor or good name. I know of no other
olub similar to our a in else and scope which
admits visitors to its business ssessions ex
cept under the moat rigid rules and regula
tions. As to the press, we hope ever and always
to sustain the most friendly relations with
this most potent molder of public opinion,
and to be able to extend as well as to
receive courtesies We appreciate favors of
the past and shall ever be reafiy to recip
rocate with Information concerning our pro
grammes, our social occasions or anv other
event of Interest to the public. We feel as
sured that every fair-minded person will,
without argument, concede and respect our
right to decide for ourselves how much or
little of our private buetness affairs shall
be given out for publlo dissemination.
Flans of Committees.
The calendar committee has, as yon bave
already learned, arranged for the year pro
grammes which give great promise of
pleasure, interest and profit.
- The social committee has plans for the
furtherance not only of social pleasure but
also for the promotion of acquaintance,
friendship and fellowship In our club fam
ily, and cordlaUty to our guests. '
Entertaining and. lnatructlve programmes
duly Interspersed with opportunity for In
terchange Of social amenities can be made
potent factors in adding to ear ranks those
broidered together daintily so that the
trail of the sewing machine is not to be
found upon any portion of it. The verti
cal strlppinga of lace, shown in ,thls pat
tern, will be used in some of the smarter
waists, although horizontal trimmings
will also be popular. The yoke Is an
elaborate combination of Valenciennes
and sheer muslin, and the fancy collar is
finished with a tiny frill of Valenciennes.
In No. 4 one of the more 'elaborate of
the new sleeves is shown, the fulness of
the sleeve being formed of row upon
row of overlapping lace flounoes, of nar
who later may become actively enlisted In
the more serious phases of club life
The publicity committee, being consti
tuted of our past presidents, is sufficient
assurance of the very best service along
the lines of Its duties.
The other committees, whom I may not
linger to mention, we know will come no to
,tne standard of faithful performance of
duty.
Agreeing most heartily with the expressed
sentiments of most of my predecessors that
the departments are "the vsry essence of the
life of the dub," I would recommend that
each member ally herself with at least one;
a pledge to Join one or more departments is
made one of the conditions of active mem
bership in the Century Club of Detroit,
Mich.
To the departments In accordance with
their varied lines of work and to the club
at large. I would suggest the serious consid
eration of several measures which. In my
Judgment, should call forth the earnest ef
fort of the woman's Club.
If this club stands for anything worth
while, it surely stands for the protection of
childhood and Its right to the best possi
ble conditions, environment and Influence for
iucdlsi growia ana moral weirara
As a means to this end the publlo school,
the institution of which every American
should be proud and ever ready to defend,
should be placed upon a foundation abso
lutely Impregnable against attack or man
ipulation through political Influence.
Civil Service) for Teachers.
A teacher who has proven himself or her
self thorouKhlyequlpped by education, train
ing and experience, added to irreproachable
moral character, should be so Intrenched in
that position that it cannot be imperiled
by personal favoritism or political influence.
Would that a movement might be inaugurat
ed and nushed to a successful Issue result
Ins; In the application of civil service rules
to the vocation of teacher in the publlo
schools of our city and state.
Again the unsanitary conditions of soma
of our school buildings should not be tor
gotten nor forgiven until remedied.
To the movement to secure the kindergar
ten and industrial training as adjuncts of
our public school system let us lend our good
will and moral support.
May we continue in well doing In the In
terest of the state federation education loan
fund by devising ways and means whereby
we may materially add to our previous con
tributions thereunto.
Along philanthropic lines let ns give spe- '
elal consideration to any plan which, may ,
row width, and the cuff finished fanci
fully with a double row of the lace. Sev
eral bolts of expensive Valenciennes laoe
and insertion are utilized in this dainty
little blouse, and the narure at which it
'may be had is staggering to the casual
ODserver who has not examined the ex
quisite fineness of the materials used.
A variation of the klmona effect is
shown in the all-over lace garment, plo
tured in No. .6. In this a bib of pretty
open-work web laoe takes the place of the
klmona reveres, giving width to the
shoulders and style to pattern. This is
a pretty girlish pattern for the matinee
or informal party.
An ultra-fanciful style is shown In No.
6. which Is of delicate pink satin, com
bined with fine lace of dainty cream
tint, the lines being in curves and scrolls,
and the body of the waist embroidered
to a yoke fashioned with equal elaborate
ness. A variation is shown in - the cuffs
of this waist, the sleeves being finished
with a broad revere cuff of frilled lace.
The sleeves In all the waists will be short
this season, and worn with long gloves.
The buttons, or hooks and eyes, will
continue to run down the back also, so
that a lady's maid, or a course in gym
anstlcs, will continue to be necessary,
unless the girl who would be up-to-date
la already a contortionist.
be set on foot to provide a hospital for the
proper care of the sick poor of th county.
Our interest in the Visiting urser Asso
ciation, as also In the work of the Juvenile
Court will surely not wane.
Our honored Mayor has inaugurated a
campaign for the betterment of our city
streets and the cleaning up of our Plasa and
park blocks; surely he can count upon the
Woman's Club to indorse and aid in all pos
sible ways his plans in this direction; for
the deplorable condition of many of Ota
streets would discredit the esprit de corps of
a much smaller and poorer city than ours.
Flans for a Clobbouse.
Concerning plans for the benefit ef the
club itself, we do not forget tho suggestion
of our past president. Mrs. Breymaq. and
reiterated by her successor, Mrs Johnson,
that a stock company be formed for the
purpose of buying or building a clubhouse,
and hope that at no distant day some such
plan may secure to us our own home In
whloh we could- do better werk than possi
ble under existing conditions.
In closing let me assure yoa that for the
coming months I pledge you my very best
endeavor, and ask your Indulgence an
forbearance with my shortcomings, feeling
deeply that I can serve yeu . best only in
f proportion as you sustain and aid me by
osing aiBht of everything else, but that to
gether and all together we have Joined
hands in the service of humanity through
the instrumentality of this organisation
whose dignity and honor we are bound
unitedly to sustain by individually and col
lectively proving ourselves worthy of mem

dedicated the Los Angeles clubhouse, so let
us dedicate ourselves and our club. "To the
highest welfare of our homes, our schools

UNTVERSITT OF .WASHINGTON; Oct.
lz. (Special.) Resolutions were adopted
at a meeting of the student body of the
University of Washington this week, fa
voring a Northwest intercollegiate con
ferense to be held on the Washington
campus at the time of the three-cornered
track meet next Spring, at which time
representatives of the leading universities
and colleges of the Northwest will be
present to agree on rules to govern ath
letic and other relations. Acting on the
resolutions adopted, the board of control
will immediately take steps to Interest
Oregon and Idaho institutions in the nlan.
It is the idea of those fostering the
movement to perfect a league something
like the Big Nine of the Middle West.
Here, however. It la suggested the pact
result in what may appropriately be des
ignated the Big Six, Including the Uni
versity of Washington, Whitman College.
Pullman, University , of Oregon, Oregon
Agricultural College, and the University
of Idaho. One of the prime objects of
the conference win be to discuss the ques
tion of scneauie, advocating such series of
football contests as will leave no doubt
at the end of the season which institu
tion Is the champion. The idea Is to pre
vent situations such as that last Fall,
where Oregon won the championship,
subjeot to dispute from Pullman, which
claimed that signal honor. Had it been
so arranged that these disputants could
have met and fought out their contro
versy, there would have been no doubt as
to which was the certain champion.
Rules of eligibility will also 'be deter
mined upon at the proposed conference, in
case the other institutions take kindly to
the Idea Initiated by Washington. A cer
tain small faction at the U. of W. desires
that the one-year rule be adopted, where
by freshmen will be excluded from par
ticipation on athletto teams, and If the
conference materializes this question will
be talked of at least.
The college paper here Is making a big
fight for the one-year rule, but It by no
means reflects student opinion generally
on the proposition. Coach Place and Cap
tain Bagshaw, of the eleven, laugh at the
suggestion, and the stand of the faction
controlling the college paper Is considered
a joke by most of the students. It Is
pointed out by those who think the agita
tion worth noticing that there is no need
for the freshmen exclusion here, as there
Is in the Blast and Middle West; that
things are going along very well now, and
that such a rule would be an unnecessary
discrimination against the first-year men
and would prove disastrous to athletics in
the Northwest.
Besides those mentioned, there are other
objects which could be served by the con
ference, say those who are its sponsors.
Tennis, basketball and debate and oratory
would come in for considerable discussion
to better intercollegiate relations in those
activities.
The student board of control will ap
point a committee soon to communicate
with other educational institutions of the
Northwest to learn their attitude on the
conference question. As to the one-year
rule discussion, it will die through the In
fluence of ridicule at the University of
Washington.
