NOW that Thanksgiving: with its culinary labors and perils is safely over, it is to be hoped that every woman who has not al ready done so will attack her Christ mas problems without further delay. It is one of the deepest of the alma nac's mysteries that Uie crowded days between the last Thursday in Novem ber and December 25 should be not only the shortest of the year, but In some peculiar way should always con trive to appear more numerous and to be In actual effect less so than they really are. Another view of the case Is that these same short days of the almanac are the lonir and weary ones for those who serve In stores; for packers, drivers and delivery boys, and tor other workers, more or less di rectly affected in "the Christmas rush." A recent writer on this topic says: "I am aware that early Christmas shopping; has been preached until wo men are tired of the sound of the words. And. still most of them (to serenely on their way. btivlnic at the last minute." This kind of thing; does not exactly reflect rredlt on either the hearts or the heads it us women folk, "most" of whom are thus accused. Even if we have not sympatny and imagination enough to realize the ex tent of what the Consumers' League knows as "the Christmas cruelties." the most heartless should have sense enough to see the foolishness of the last minute scramble. Most of the stores have already begun to display their "Christinas novelties" and "spe cialties." Gifts of permanent value cannot well he chosen In a hurry or In a crowd: while the "odds and ends" and the "pretty little tiny kickshaw" ....In e nrAuAn. 4a not imnmvpil bv Lniiich handling and picking over. AS lor tne enuiusiasin ana exuii.; ment," which one girl gave recently as her excuse for leaving things to the last, it is not likely to be any the less because your berlbboned par cels have not meant working beyond midnight either by yourself or by oth ers. Enthusiasm and excitement are all very well; but the late shopper Is often too hurried and worried to en joy them. Have you forgotten some of the things seen in Inst year's orgy of shopping? Not only the whlte fnced. weary salesgirls, but the pro crastinating woman with the whim pering child that "wants to go home. Mamma." and is sharply told to "keep still this minute," while the mother hunts wildly among glittering trum pery for "something for Jim's sister." The woman with the high-pitched snarling voice has waited "a solid half hour" for her change, and Is anxious to let all the world know it. Worried women with pencilled lists are com paring notes and remembering that It's 6 o'clock already and not a thing for supper, and all these still to buy." "Oh. come on." says one girl to another. "I don't care whether she likes It or not It's a present any way." Are these manifestations of enthusiasm or of the "real Christmas spirit? "Early shopping and the abuse of present-giving" we nave been preached to on these topics until we are "tired of the sound of the words," it Is true; but it is also true that some of us are really trying to mend our ways. Even If we are not members of the Consumers' League, we shall do well to "read, mark, learn and in wardly digest" their "plea for the workers," and as many of us as pos sibly can should follow the League's suggestions: Do your shopping early in the day. Don't shop on Saturdays. Do your Christmas shopping as far as possible before December 15. Buy your Christmas candy at least a week before Christmas. Refuse to receive parcels delivered after 6 o'clock.

SPEAKS ON LUMBER TRADE Situation In Orient Is Reviewed by Consul Miller. H. B. Miller. Consul-General at Yo kohama, Japan, addressed the members of the Oregon & Washington Lumber Manufacturers' Association yesterday aft ernoon at the meeting of the organiza tion In the Commercial Club auditorium on the lumber trade in the Orient and tha probabilities of Manchurian lum ber coming into competition with the Northwest product in future. Mr. Miller told of the development of the Jap anese lumber Industry and how exten sive the output of the country is. The lumbermen were much interested in learning about the Japanese and their progress in lumber manufacture. The address of Mr. Miller was followed by a general discussion relative to competi tion from the Orient in the lumber busi ness. An elaborate campaign of advertising Oregon fir throughout the East was sug gested to the lumbermen, but final ac tion was postponed until the next meet ing. It was pointed out to the members of the association that a chain of East ern department stores will allow the ex hibit of samples of Oregon wood in their establishments and that lecturers will call attention to It. C. W. Thompson, of Cascade Locks, was made chairman of the committee to Investigate .this mat ter and report later. The lumbermen at yesterday's meeting voted that the association become a member of the Conservation League, of which Walter Fisher, of Chicago, is president. The West Side Lumber & Shingle Company was a new member to Join the organisation of lumbermen at yesterday's session. A mass of routine business was also transacted at the meet ing. Celebrates 19 th Banquet. Wednesday night the lower floor of the Eastern Outfitting Company's store presented a scene that would rival the most elaborate banquet hall, this being the 19th annual banquet of the em ployes, as well as the tenth anni- versary of Mr. and Mrs. J. Shemanskl's marriage. The floor was cleared and waxed and the spacious room exquis itely decorated in white and gold, gar lands of daisies, roses and chrysanthe mums, and with a good orchestra and the 50 employes in full eenlng dress the artistic scene was most complete. Just as all were seated at the table, Adolph Shemanski, of Seattle, walked in. much to the surprise ot all, and took the seat of toastmaster. After rhe sumptuous banquet toasts were given to the different employes and responded to by the heads of depart ments and all was rich wit and repar tee. Mr. Savoy, on behalf of the em ployes, presented Mr. Shemanski with an elegant solid silver set of 108 pieces. After the banquet there was dancing and none were content to go home until long after the "Home, Sweet Home" had been played and repeated.
