Commercial block: treasurer of the Associated Charities, R. & Howard, with Ladd niton, or to The Orafonlan. Half the slory of Christmas Is In the fact that it la the day. of all dars In the year when the members of the family come together again under the home roof. No matter how far they may fly away at other times, nearly everyone turns hack home for Chrl.it rnas. And If one cannot be at homer on Christmas day It Is a double-edged catastrophe usually. He who is unable to be back perhaps suffers the more severely, but even If he chance to be of a case-hardened Indifference to ward the home call of Christmas, there 1 never any quetsion about the thoughts of the "home folks" turning often to him. and the hearts of the home folks wishing; and wishlna; that the absent one might be back, within the circle just for the day. There Is a family that will not be united the- rominir Christmas hero in I'ortland. The reason Is not a particu larly romantic one. The father is in Jail. He has been in Jail, oft and on. the larger part of the year. Cbtldrea Have Loasrlna;. Terhaps it Is a matter of Indifference to him whether he spends his Christmas with his children or behind the bars. That is something he does not talk about. He silently and sullenly takes tht punishment that the law haa meted ut to him. and if there be times when he feels the stirrings of homesickness about his heart, he keeps that to him self. But his children; to them It means s treat deal whether or not tbey will have their father with them on Christ mas day. There are five of the children, three of them boys and the oldest one only 1.1. The boys were favorites In one of the parties, of . the fresh air. children that were sent out last Summer fine, aturdy little chaps, chock full of the hopefullness and energy of healthy boyhood. And all of the children know about Christmas, and know that on that day Eanta Claus Is supposed to go about carrying to all the world gifts and good cheer. Meanwhile the father Is out of the circle and the family funds are down at so low an ebb that it would be al most absurd to expect them to supply mere necessities on Christmas day, to say nothing of the extras that belong to the season. So it looks almost as though the five little children are destined to waken Christmas morning to find that all the fables that cluster around that day are for them nothing but a sorrowful Irony. Polls 'Would Flease Girls. For such as these it is that the As sociated Charities Is raising, with the assistance or The Oregonlan. a Christ mas relief fund, which shall bo used not only to bring them Christmas cheer, but shall help to lighten the burdens of the poor families through the Wln- ' ter months following Christmas, and to , help them get on their feet so that they may perhaps be able to take care of themselves when bummer comes. The responses of The) Oregoutan's campaign with the Associated Charities have reached a total already of more than $850. and will probably pass the 11000 mark ilonday. Those who are interested in the relief fund are send ing not only cash, however, but are ending also supplies of clothing, gro cerics and other necessaries that will be dispensed during the Christmas week by the Associated Charities. Just by the way. there are between 100 and 200 little girls in the "family that the relief fund Is to benefit, who do not have dolls, and many of them have never had a doll to play with, except such a makeshift as they could Improvise out of rags. And there are so many beautiful dolls to be had, too! BLOODHOUNDS ON TRAIL Train Itobbers Suspected of Attempt to Icrail Train. CLEVELAND.

Creative Attainment, lYcIlng and Color Accomplishments Evident on All bides Students ' Show Much Promise. The Fall exhibition of tho Society of Oregon Artists, which is Just clos ing, has teon the most successful ex hibition since the j-ociety waa organ ized. . The rotunda on the third floor of the new Public Library has proved a splendid place for an exhibit, the dignified and spacious gallery allow lnx off the pictures to advantage. Be tween two and three hundred people a day have viewed them, and the society feels gratified at the Interest taken by the public, and feels that It Is per haps accomplishing something in Its effort to stimulate a desire on ' the part of the public to know .what, is I being done by artists In this vicinity. Henrietta M. Shore Is new to I'ort land, and her largo can vases are an acquisition. All are Interesting, but especially vivacious and full of life are "Heady for Play" and "At the Zoo." "Atlantic Coast," by C. C. McKlm. gives one a warm, pleasant feeling of sunlight and happiness. In tits "Yachata Rocks" he has caught that misty sunlight so peculiar to the Ore gon const, while In his third canvas. "Yachats," there Is fine movement and spirit: one feels that it Is some what cold, and that there la not a consistent light: Boat PalatlsTga Exhibited. Mary K. Webster's "Fishing Boats" has a rare, lovely quality throughout, and Is very pleasing. "Winter Dories" is an Interesting painting of a boat, though a trine tlcht. Henry F. Wentxs "Glacial Water Is a nicej harmony of blues and greens. He also exhibits an Interest ingly arranged still life. Ellen Ravenscroft's "Snow Scene" shows to fine advantage In the large room. A still life of dahlias is full of color, as are also her two Nehalem things C E. S. Wood's pictures always con tain that fresh youthful spirit so es rentlal to creative work. They never lack Interest. A small opaque water color hns much of this delightful qual ity, as have also the group of pastels. Of Edna Breyman's four small sketches, "Snowy Landscape" has very fine qualities of grays, and, though not painted coldly, produces the feeling of cold. "Between Show ers" also has some charming qualities. Her other two, "Woodland Study" and "From Willamette Heights," are not so happy. Floyd Wilson's "Roping Contest, Round-ITp" la full of animation and vim. "Chinatown" Is beautiful in color, as is also his "On the Beach." "Nehalem" is not so good. It Is rather muddy, and needs more simplicity. In his "Circus Parade," Carl A, Walters hss tried to catch the spirit of the parade as It appears In the ex citement of "preparation. Detail - Is subordinate to . color- "In - the Big Tent" would bo greatly .Improved if the colors were richer and less muddy. "Bathers" and "White Boats" are also his. Miss Aimee Spencer exhibits two conventional flower still lives, and Miss Jeanne Stewart two water-colors, "Bit of Old Edinburgh" and "Oregon Coast" George O'Brien has two paintings of Tillamook Head and one small, delicate beach scene in his usual style. Ptadeats Show Promise. Among the things exhibited by stu dents there Is much promising work, very pleasant to encounter. Genevieve Hallev. one of the younger exhibitors. shows much promise. Ines Luce's "Moon's Struggle," while muddy and Immature, shows a certain amount of feeling. Rockwell Carey's three sketches are fresh and spon taneous, and are a decided Improve ment, O. V. Odell's two have fino qual ities of color, and while not carried very far. show a decidedly original viewpoint. Conrad Pederaon la an other who has originality In his out look upon nature: he haa much sin cerlty and creativeness. On the other hand, while J. Bene vizy. Clyde Keller. E. D. M. Towle. Robert McClure, F. D. McSouth and Fred A. Routledae show earnest en deavor and fairly good handling, one would Ilka tQ sec more spontaneity and freshness of vision. The water- colors of Mrs. E. O. Slsson. Edith a miller and Mrs. A. L. Cummlngs and Myra Helm's stlll-llfo luck originality n0 interest. While there Is mors of these necessary qualities In Mra. mi'. Collst M.
