THE SUNDAY OKEGOXIAN, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 8, 1912. PRESIDENT OF WOMAN'S PRESS CLUB . URGES TIME FOR SERIOUS THINKING Mrs. Alice Stebbins Wells, of Loa Angeles, Urges Appointment of Policewomen President of Bryn Mawr College Prominent Snffragist Member of Family of Mixed Matrimonial Alliances Sued for $50,000. 77 b KETV uuo, u c. 7. (Special.) Mme. Evans von Klenner, president of the Women's Press Club of New York, recently told the New York City Fed eration of Women's Clubs that women wasted too much time on trivial things, and did not read enough Browning. She recommended setting aside ten minutes a day for the thinking of serious thoughts. Some husbands will -sympathize with Mrs. von Klenner's state ment that club women "neglect culture and buzz around entirely too much." Mrs. Alice Stebblns Wells, a woman policeman of Los Angeles, visited Washington to aid In the agitation for police-women there. She also interest ed Director of Public Safety Porter, of Philadelphia, in the movement. She will agitate the matter in other big cities. "One or more police-women should be connected with each police department for the solo purpose of receiving com plaints from women, if for nothing else," declared Mrs. Wells In an ad dress before a meeting of prominent women Interested in the movement. "The police-woman Is particularly adapted to preventive work. She Is the best fitted to handle juvenile offenders, for a woman has the motherly instinct fyh iJJ&j lgjgl TRADITION OF SENACAS TOLD BY AGED CHIEFTAIN Head of Tribe Becomes Hi and Daughter Will Not "Wed Until He Recovers. Magic Oil Bestores His Health and Girl Then Marries. BY ORLOF DODD. FOR many years prior to Colonel Brake's venture on OH Creek, Sen eca OH was sold on the drug mar ket as a medicine. During the days of the first oil excitement in Pennsylvania' the product still went by the name of "Seneca OIL" The Seneca Indians were collecting and using this oil when white men first entered the valley in 1789. These Indians had a tradition con cerning the occupancy of the valley of Oil Creek by their race. The writer first heard this tradition In his boyhood from an aged Seneca chief. The tradition, substantially as given below, was the old chief's answer to the writer's question as to the origin and meaning of the carving of the ' features of an Indian Princess on the smooth bark of the beeches of the val ley all quite similar In design and evi dently of ancient date. . The following is the Seneca's explana tion of them: Chief Is Gloomy. Many, many moons ago one of their bravest and most revered chiefs, Enan go, was ill of a wasting disease. On an afternoon in early Autumn this mighty chief sat under the forest trees of his home on the shores of a beauti ful lake. Enango's brow was gloomy and his heart heavy. The leaves were drifting slowly down through the branches In the glory-color of their decay. It was the voice of Manltou. Soon he, too, would drift out to the unknown forest of the Indians' para dise. Enango did not fear to die, but he longed to live until his waning tribe was united with a stronger tribe of the Senecas through the marriage of his daughter, the beautiful Enangaeh, beloved by all the Indians of both tribes. But Enangeah so devotedly loved her father that she refused to leave him for the wigwam of her sweetheart. As Enango's eyes followed the drift ing leaves In their slow descent, he was praying that Manitou would spare his life until Enangaeh and her young chieftain should wed, and thus secure the union of the two tribes; and while lie prayed Enangaeh came and knelt at his feet. "Does Enango, the great father of his tribe, pray for longer life? Manltou will hear thy prayer, for Enangaeh has vowed to the Great Spirit that she will WOMEN THEATER BOARD SCORES GREAT TRIUMPH Dl-Fated Theater Turned Into Successful Venture Popular Singer and Actress First Rented the House. COPENHAGEN. Oct. 7. (Special.) Danish feminists are in high feath er over the success of the firs! Danish woman theater director. Miss Gerda Chrlstophersen. When, as an extremely popular singer and actress, she first rented the large but Ill-fated Casino Theater here, there was something of a sensation. She seemed to be risking assured success for a house that so far had been dogged by 111 luck. Besides that, was she not too much a woman, and a pretty one at that, to be dabbling in a stern, mas culine affair like the active manage ment of a theater? But Miss Chrlstophersen has conclud k It - V Sill - - 1 11 ... S. ' I I B ;-J "V !:.. i II . -..-5. , II 1' HrsWhceJfoopej- that enables her to accomplish wonder ful tasks. I believe that every city should have a woman attached to Its lost person bureau. She is of great value In tracing missing persons who have become separated from their fam- ldies. I have 4iad considerable experi ence in this line in Los Angeles as head of the lost persons bureau, and know just what can be done." m Miss M. Carey Thomas, president of Bryn Mawr College, was one of the most prominent figures at the conven tion of equal sutfragl3ts at Philadel phia last week. V Mrs. Amy Crocker Gouraud has been sued for $50,000 damages by Walter Morgan Russell. No particulars are given out. but It Is thought the suit bears some relation to the matrimonial go to the wigwam of the young Seneca, if thy prayer is answered." Then, through the stillness of the for est, the voice of Manltou was heard among the waving branches, telling Enango his daughter's vow was accept ed and his prayer answered; that In the great forest far to the southwest there was a beautiful valley, through which flowed a stream along whose winding course they would find a great medi cine welling up through springs that fed the stream that would heal the great chiefs malady and give him re newed youth and health; that this far off valley should hereafter be the home of the two united tribes, and the medi cine fountain would flow until their children should cease to follow the red deer and be gathered to the shades of the happy hunting grounds. ' As the voice of Manitou sank to the whisper of the evening breeze among the softly waving branches and slowly drifting leaves, Enangaeh looked up and beheld the young Seneca chief standing with bowed head by her side. "Onanquaga." he said, "also has heard the voice of Manitou. It is well. Let us depart to the medicine valley. On aquaga knows how to find the way. Our children shall live there until the palefaces come from over the big water. They shall bless Enangaeh, the fawn eyed, whose vow has saved the life of our great chief." Valley Is Reached. The morning sun was flooding the valley of OH Creek as the Senecas entered from the Eastern hills. The aged chief found the' medicine welling up with the waters of many a limpid spring. In it he found healing and strength, and many moons he lived to bless his people., The descendants of Enangaeh and Onaquaga held dominion in this valley for centuries; they used the oil for their medicine; with it they mixed their war paint; and in later years, when the palefaces came, they gave them Seneca oil as a peace offering. They carved the image and name of Enangaeh on the bark of the beeches that grew on the banks of the Medicine River from generation to generation, and she was worshiped as the goddess mother of the united tribes. And to this day her name still lives among the palefaces in the name of one of the most renowned regions of the new worlds Venango County, Pennsyl vania. ed her first season with eclat, and the prospects for the future are rosy. In deed. She herself, in addition to man agement, has played the title role in the ever-fresh "La Belle Helene." Businss has, in fact, justified the se lection of a co-director, but again a woman: Madame Mary - Hennlngs, daughter-in-law of Madame Betty Hen nlngs, who created all Ibsen's chief fe male characters, has joined her in this capacity. Madame Hennings is now a widow, but has powerful financial back ing, and sufficient "pull" to secure formerly one of the first Scandinavian cinematograph concessions. So the two women directors look calmly on their c vrv 1 ftne.vosYo?'lIIemer adventures of her daughter. Mrs. Gouraud's first husband, whom she divorced, was Porter Ashe. Her uaugn ter by him married, some years ago, the brother of the third husband of her mother. Powers Gouraud. They were divorced, and she married a stage dancer said to be named Walter Rus sell Hooper. He may be the man known In law as Walter Morgan Russell. The engagement of Powers Gouraud to e. New York girl has juf.t been announced. The Metropolitan Opera Company gave "The Magic Flute" last week one of the most important revivals of re cent years.

The Reformation Festival. Christian Herald. What the Fourth of July Is to Amer ican patriots October 31 should be to all Protestant Christendom. October 31, of the year 1517, may rightly be called the birthday of the Reformation. On that day Luther, the Augustinian monk, priest and professor at the University of Wittenberg, nailed his world-famous Ninety-five Theses against the Papal Indulgences to the chapel door at Wit- tenberg, and thereby made his first on slaught on the citadel of papal thought.

Little did Luther dream of the tremendous upheaval that was to be caused by this act of his.

Pope Leo X condemned his theses and commanded him to .recant what in them he had pronounced the truth of God contrary to Rome's teach ing and practice. Of late years it has become a custom" that, in addition to the Reformation services In the indi vidual churches, Joint services are held In large halls. In which many congre gations unite to ponder the blessings of the Reformation and to strengtnen the loyalty and gratitude of these chil dren of the Reformation. Such services have .been held this year, on either the last Sunday in Oc tober or the first Sunday in November.

And this question of what one gave last year is a substantial part of the problem.

Many people even feel affronted when pre sented with- sartorial . needfuls which would; have to be provided anyhow, and vastly prefer a gift that repre sents a, bit of unwonted luxury, some thing which has a sentimental as well as a utilitarian value. The shops teem with things in the weeks before the holidays, and, after all, it is thought and loving care in selection which make a gift acceptable not the amount of money that is spentl on it. nut this personal care in selec tion is the vef y thing that is so hard to give in the busy before - Christmas weeks when every minute of one's time counts and when shopping is so difficult and nerve-wearing. The wise woman makes out her lists several weeks before the rush of shopping begins and then does most of her buying early of a morning be fore the rush of shoppers crowd the aisles ana counters. The list that reads vaguely: ' Jennie," " Grace," "Aunt Susan," "Brother Bill," "The dressmaker's little girl." is the worst feathers are quite the fad, and the poor ostrich is still further denuded for wo man's sartorial glorification. The illustration shows how the feather, after being arranged in grace ful fashion on the hat, is carried around the neck to form a boa. This massing of plumage around the face is most be-coming-when the plume happens to be in a becoming color. The long feather !n the picture, is in shades of Dutch blue and smoke gray, the corduroy suit being a dark gun metal shade. Boots of patent leather with buttoned tops of slate-colored cloth accompany the suit. Another Interesting hat in a season of unfreakish millinery, is the peacock hat A toque of moleskin or plush in some inconspicuous color rests close against the hair and against one side Is poised a superb peacock breast and head with a spreading tail and slant back ward over the shoulder. One of these hats was worn in Sherry's at lunch hour the other day and aroused much Interest. It was of moleskin and the blue and green hues of the peacock plumage were repeated in the blouse worn with a mole-colored broadcloth suit, trimmed with collar and cuffs of the fur. The blouse was a dainty af fair of blue and green changeable chif fon veiling deep ecru embroidery In an open Richelieu pattern, this embroi dery being laid over clear white net, which threw the ecru embroidery de sign into relief under the chiffon. Rows of small nickel buttons and a touch of black tulle at the neck completed the chic effect of the blouse. A huge mole skin muff matched the small coat col lar of similar pelt, and the smart cos tume was accompanied by equally smart buttoned boots on the new Jingnsn lines, with a long vamp and receding instep arch. WAR STIRS PHILATELISTS Stamp Collectors Profit by New Is sues of Balkan Allies. MUNICH, Dec. 7-(Speclal.) It has by- now .become a commonplace fact that the misery of war makes the Joy of the stamp collector. The war in the Near East will be no exception, says the "Munchener Neueste Nachrichten," for in a few days philatelists will re joice over an event that is unique in the history of postage stamps. The stamps issued by the allies for the con quered provinces are to be all of the same type in design and decoration, the only difference between the stamps of the various states being -that the vignette in the middle will be a picture of Sofia in the case of. Bulgaria; of Belgrade for Servia; of Cettinje for Montenegro, and of Athens for Greece. The design of the new stamps la originally Greek, being ' an artist's adaptation of an idea furnished by the director of the Numismatic Museum at To Overcome Winter Complexion Troubles From Woman's Tribune. If the chill air causes your skin to dry and scale or become unduly red or spotted, before you go to bed spread a thin layer of ordinary mercolized wax over your entire face. - Remove next morning with warm water. This is the ideal complexion treatment for the Win ter girL The wax gently absorbs the dead particles of surface skin, so grad ually there's no discomfort. This gives the underlying skin a chance to breathe and to show Itself. In a week or .so the new and younger skin Is wholly in evidence and you have a really match less complexion. -Naturally all its de fects disappear with the discarded cuti cle as chaps, roughness, blotches, pim ples, freckles, blackheads, sallowness. Usually an ounce of mercolized wax, procurable at any drugstore, is enough to renovate even the worst complexion. Wrinkles need bother you no more if you'll use this simple face wash: Pow dered saxolite, 1 oz., dissolved in witch hazel, V pt. Just one application will affect even the deepest lines, and soon your skin will be smooth as a child's.

Alongside the ash trays are manicure, sets and one recollects that once Aunt Susan ex pressed a desire for a manicure set. None of these things can be definitely decided upon one must go home and think it over; and by the time one has reached home to do the thinking it is suddenly recalled that nothing at all was done about finding .anything for Jennie. A better way is to jot down several articles under each name. This list Is to be left at home for comparison, and another quick-shopping list made out for one's handbag. On the latter list all of the articles are set down under the store departments in which they are to be had, and the depart ments are listed under their location In the shop or their general loca tion. For example, the shopping list may read something like this: Main floor Umbrellas, ash trays, sweaters, cologne, manicure sets. Second floor Sofa pillows, centerpieces,- bedroom slippers, lace blouses, smoking Jackets. - Third floor Cameras, tennis racquets, dolls, dominoes, footstools, lorgnettes. As an article on the list Is ex amined, it may be crossed off If an Impossible consideration. If suitable, it is purchased at once. If doubtful a question mark is set after it.
