You are Invited. . The two most Important questions asked are: "What does the congress do and what f-e does It exactT It rharres nothin for Its services and the other takes a lonuer reply. Here It Is: Nine years ago the morals of youns; people were being publicly discussed In Portland. In churches., various grath erlnita and In newspaper editorials. There was something- lacking in the training of young people and to dis cover what this was. a mothers' club waa organised at the Young Women's Christian Association with Miss Abble McElroy as temporary chairman and was called the "Home Training Associ ation." This association eventually re sulted in bringing Mrs. Frederic Schoff. of Washington, D. C. National presi dent of the congress of mothers, to Portland in 1905. fmma Put Vader Mar. The Oregon Congress of Mothers was then organised. 10 years after the Na tional congress, at the First Presby terian Church. It Is undenominational and non-sectarian. Mrs. C. M. Wood was put in charge. The formation of the Oregon congress was unusual, as similar congresses are formed from parent-teachers circles after there are 2i In a stale, but Oregon had no such circles at that time, although It now Vas more than 70. of which SO are In Portland. There was no doubt about the good to be accomplished, but there has never been a, clear understanding among the public of what that good amounts to, and to get Its work before the public, a show was held In the Armory In 1911 with Mrs. Robert French In charge, and another at the State Fair at falero In a large tent. Healthy babies were exhibited and literature was distrib uted. Two days at alera exhausted a upply supposed to last through the week, and fortunately It was possible to supply the need In time by tele graphing Portland. Mrs. W. W. Williams, who had charge at Salem, came back to Port land with the Idea that a permanent bureau should be established, and the Idea Is now realized. Child Tralalaa; Takes 1 How to train children In the matter if health la the most Important ques tion. First, the mother must know bow to bear and then rear her young. Manr expectant mothers consult their family physicians and obtain valuable advice, hut If they have not been trained when growing how to care for their persona the physician's advice might often come too late. It was thought that teachers In pub lic schools should trsln children in 'sex education, and thla waa promptly dis covered Impossible as the teachers themselves, except In rare Instances, had never been properly trained. Now the congress will educate both teach ers and mothers In hopes of doing away w-tth the embarrassment and fee some times feared even If never chaxgd. In curred In consulting a physician. - I'nqueationable. authorities and ex perts of the same sex will give lec tures and demonstrations to groups and circles once a week, and Individuals tnav obtain printed matter and advice upon applying at the office of the Congress, without embarrassment and -without cost. The Congress is not a charitable Institution. It is an educa tional Institution ami wealthy and poor a:ike are invited to consult the offi cers. HaMwe Fladlag Tmk Werfc. - The following departments are in action: Child Hygiene. Child Welfare, Child Placing. Chautauqua, country Life. Educational Home Economics. Juvenile Court. Literature. Play tSrounds. parent-Teacher Circles (Or ganization of) and Membership. The chtld-rlaclng committee places children In homes where they will be carefully reared. They are not merely placed and forgotten: they are put In homea which have been investigated and even then their care is watched until all doubt about their comfort is removed. This Is done secretly and no names are divulged. The children are often not legitimate, but are healthy specimens. The literature department is very Important. Such pamphlets as the fol lowing are distributed: "Proper Diet for Children I'nder Five." "A Friendly Letter to Bow,- -Preparations for Far. entbood." "To Fathers." "When Does Bodily Education BeglnT "Why. What When and How Parents Should Instruct Children in Sex Matters.' etc. The demonstration to teachers Is of the sort they would need In instructing i children so that their bodlea would be ttlthv. and the teachers mast be rn stru.-ted so that the good and not the possible evil of such Instruction would retult. Yewae; XVasea leatrweted. The demonstration to young women on the care of tbelr bodies upon enter i Ing matrimony and that of expectant mothers Is another. A complete set of Syr Wok w " ' : : Vvxl I everything necessary for Inexperienced mothers Is shown. The kind of diet and clothing, the sanitary necessities and the things necessary for comfort of the Infant when It arrives. The proper kind of milk, the preparation of sterilised milk, the proper way to bathe Infants and many other things are demonstrated. The care of teeth Is another form of education for children through teach ers and parents, the harm of boys smoking cigarettes, teaching the girls to save and training them how to help in the home. The influence of manual training on character and the integrity of sex are explained to those who will then Impart their knowledge pj-operly to children. "The Ignorance of many young wom en about to marry is unbelievable." said Dr. A. S. Nichols, who has taken an active Interest In the Oregon Congress of Mothers, giving his time and the result of his long practice for their use. "Parents don't Impart knowledge either because they don't know or be cause they nesitate xo niatruw children in matters wmtu learned on the outside. Lack ef Kaewledge Startling. "I have to consult with parents as well as their children on matters which are surprising, for it would hardly seem possible that some young women reach ing the age of maturity and even about to marry should knew so little. "The astonishing Ignorance often ac counts for young people falling Into BLOOMING FLOWERS ARE EVIDENCE OF SPRING Jonquils Ar Set Out in Failing Place and in Courtyard of Portland Hotel, and Magnolias and Camellias in Private Grounds and Parks.

Those who pianneo. tor their early Spring gardens . by Fall planting are reaping a glorious reward now. Many who did not. are enjoy ing the results of other people's fore thousht. Daffodils la Heart of City. Within a block of .the Postoffice there are two magnificent beds of dsf fodlls. Coming upon them suddenly in the heart of the business district one is reminded of Wadsworth's verses. "All at once I came upon a crowd, a host of golden daffodils." There is lit erally a host of them, one of these beds running a full block, from Fifth to Sixth streets on the Salmon-street side of the Falling place. These daffodils are of the large golden-yellow trumpet variety. The other bed is in the court yard of the Portland Hotel. The flow, era are of the double variety popularly called jonquils. They all stand with their faces turned primly to the sun. In several of the parks and many pri vate grounds there are magnolias and ii. i ki .ff.rlnr inr.Mtlnm of semi-tropical shrubs that should be more generally pianiea nere. Lmtu' are decided favorites with men who like to wear a boutonniere. as there Is no In ..iit.nra more oerfeCtlT adanted for this purpose. The flower i i. - iik - .mail avmilsltelv formed rose. Both the flowers and the foliage vice. It's hard for a girl to have to consult her family physician and it should be unnecessary. It is the pur pose of the Oregon Congress of Moth ers to do away witn in is rn ment. No girl should marry without full knowledge of the laws of nature and many of them do. The course of the Congress extends from Infancy to old age and Its aim is to pruuuue wholesome race of citizens mentally and nhvsicallv strong. The following are the officers of the ronrrUR: President. Mrs. Robert H. Tate, Port; land: vice-presidents. Mrs. A. King Wilton Oswego. Mrs. J. Smith. Pendle ton, Mrs. C. M.

' If one has no early Spring flowers in one's own garden there are walks in the woods accessible to every port- lander, where the loveliest wild flow ers mar be found at this season. The flowering currant blooms abundantly on the hillsides close in. The exquisite rose-pink flowers appear In such pro fusion, coming out before the foliage appears, that the whole bush becomes a blaze of color. A generous bunch of flowering currant with a few sword ferns makes a bouquet for house deco ration which rivals the finest of the florist's products. Trlllluma (Wake Robin) may be found by the thousands now In almost every grove of trees in a wild state near the city. They are. perhaps, the prettiest and surely the most abundant wild flower to be found in this vicinity. The three-petaled white flowers on a stem that rises out of a triple leaf are as delicate and beautiful as any mem her of the lily fsmlly. The flowers will not last long out of water, but If put into water very quickly after picking they will last several days. Trtlliums may be - transplanted even while In bloom, bnt must be dug carefully. The bulb Is usually very deep In the errouna and should be dug with plenty of earth around It. Shees Have Alluring Offerings. The shops have most alluring offer ings now both m plants aireaay in bloom that will make a showing as niaj.Mi in the e-arden and in vounc- nlants that will bloom later and In Summer flowering bulbs. Pansies, - . U n - that fan K. nuitA'SafelV moved while in bloom. Indeed it would be difficult to find a time to transplant the English dsisles when not in bloom, as they seem to be always In flower.

Pansies also bloom almost all the year around In this climate. The- bloomlnr period of rock cress is not long, but It is most effective while the bloom lasts. It is especially charming in rock walls, where the tiny roots will thrive in a very small amount of soil, the pro fusion of tiny white flowers hanging down in festoons. Gladioli bulbs should be planted very soon as should also tuberoses and other Summer flowering bulbs. The ground Is a little cold yet for dahlias but they can be planted as soon as we have had a few warm days. Seeds of manv of the annuals can De planted in the open ground now. but the more tender ones should not go in for ten days or two weeks longer. Aster seeds can still be planted in a hot bed or box indoors, but should not be put In the open ground for a short wnne. Directory of Women s Gobs and Organizations . V. Pennybacker. 206 Whltls sve..

President Oregon Federation of Women's O the Oregon Federation of Wo men's Clubs is due the credit of Btartlne In this state a movement that now promises to be Nation-wide. That adulterated fabrics are destined in err. the wa- of adulterated foods now seems probable, for "Big Business" has suddenly discovered that there is a new significance to "'All wool and a yard wide." It has also discovered that shoddy for wool, and cotton for linen, are Just as detrimental to some tines of business as thev are to my lady's gown, and from a most unexpect ed source has the lightning descended that Is to consume the maKers oi mese fake fabrics. Til. National T.iindrvman's Associa tion nf America has inaugurated a cam paign for the correct labeling of tex tiles, and, following the example oi ih. nrnmoters of the Dure food move ment, the laundry men have appealed to the club women to assist tnem in tne crusade.
