BT EDITH KNIGHT HOLMES. PORTLAND club women assisted ma terially In receiving and enter taining the Rose Festival visitors, but among the clubs there were but few meetings. Considerable interest is centering in the news from Chicago which tells of the doings at the bien nial. Mrs. J. C. Hate, a prominent mem ber of the Portland Woman's Club, and several others as well known are in Chicago and word comes that they are enjoying the visit and the meetings. In Vancouver, B. C, there is an in teresting organization known as the American "Woman's Club of Vancouver. It was organized by Mrs. J. E. Hanra han. who formerly lived in Portland, where she was one of the most popular young matrons in society, in musica". circled and in clubdom. She was at one time head of the musical depart ment of the Portland Woman's Club ,ind during her term of leadership, the department did splendid work and brought laurels to the club. Mrs. Han rahan is greatly missed in Portland, where she has many friends. The American Woman's Club is a study club of social, educational and philanthropic nature. It has the fol lowing departments: Home and edu cational, musical, art and literature, current events and civic progress. This club is affiliated with the Local .Council of Women and through its me dium the Canadian and American wo men are brought together in a most harmonious manner. Negotiations are under way to make the Vancouver organization a part of the American Federation of Women's Clubs. ' The seventh lecture in the series, "Clod in Gardens." will be delivered by Florence Crawford this evening in the 'main parlor of the Hotel Portland at 8 o'clock. The topic will be "Forgive ness."' The song, "The Mignonette," written by Mrs. Crawford and given musical setting by' Edith Haines Kuester, will be sung by Mrs. B. O. Carl. Last Sunday evening the idea of ."Overcoming," as suggested by the .water lily, was given by Mrs. Craw ford. She said in part: "The single eye or perception of the one good which Is the innermost consciousness " typi fied by the water lily which springs from the placid depths of the pool. No matter how stagnant the waters may be. it . lies there waiting to blossom forth in beauty and serenity. The water lily itself is always in the heart of each longing to disprove the pres ence of any opposing force with which it may be surrounded. In the midfoot imperfection the water my says i am perfection,' and, claiming that for itself. turns to its within where all things are pure, and, obeying the law that like produces like,' it cannot help but manifest that which it believes itself to be." A beautiful flower dance was given by little Miss Helen Dietrich. Mrs. John P. Varnum gave the piano accom paniment. Joseph H. Berry sang "The Water Lily" song, one of the set writ ten by Edith Haines Kuester, and Mrs. B. O. Carl acted as necompanlst. . The members of the Society of Ore gon Artists, their husbands and wives have been invited to spend a social evening at the home -of Miss Althea Chase, 1415 Alameda1 Drive, tomorrow. Take the Rose City Park car to East Fifty-fourth street. Miss Jeannie M. Stewart will assist Miss Chase as host ess. The Parent-Teacher Club of Brook lyn School closed its work far the present school year the first of the week with a well-attended meeting. About 80 mothers attended, many of whom are new members. Reports for the past year were read and the busi ness of tho year was closed. The pupils gave a brief programme of drills and music, when the club adjourned till the reopening of school next September. I fix , , p i The 52d annual convention of the National Education Association -will be held in St. Paul, Minn., July 4-11. At the same time the League of Teachers' Associations, with which the Grade Teachers' Association, the High School Teachers' Associations and the Manual Training Teachers' Association of Port land are affiliated, will hold its second annual convention. The National Education Association's programme covers every phase of school work. This year the league takes charge of the class-room section in the National Education Association. It will have a full , discussion on teachers' salaries, tenure and pensions, under the leader ship of Miss Margaret Haley, who is the business representative of the Chi cago Grade Teachers' Association. The principal speakers on the League of Teachers' Associations' programme will be O. M. Plummer, of this city, and Dr. Edward Elliott, head of the de partment of education In the Wiscon sin State University. Both Mr. Plummer and Dr. Elliott have furthered the in terests of the league: the former in the Pacific Coast States, and the latter In the Middle West . Dr. Elliott was one of the educational experts who recently made a survey of the Portland schools. His topic at the league will be "Simplified Sense in the Public Schools." Mr. Plummer Is the only School Board Director who attended the league convention in Salt Lake last year. He was made the first and only honorary member of the league at that session. His topic will be "Our Cacnmon Cause the Children." The Portland Grade Teachers' Asso ciation will be well represented by the following members: Miss Halite C.

The party will go by a spe cial train leaving about June 29. . This is the largest delegation Oregon has ever sent to the National Educa tion Association. It will mean much to the schools to have so many teach ers come in touch with the brightest minds in their profession and to come back to their great work not only with improved methods but with their vision broadened. Several of the party will attend the Summer sessions of various Eastern universities or nor mats. Miss Grace DeGraff is state director for Oregon-of the National Education Association and vice-president of the league. The- members of the State Women's Press Club are justly proud of the suc cess of their artistic float, which won honorable mention in the parade Fri day. The float was designed by Mrs. Colista M. Dowling. president of the club, who also designed the festival poster. Miss Grace Do Graff, vice-presiden of the National League of Teachers' Associations, has sent to every teacher In the State of Oregon the - following Multnomah . Chapter, ' Daughters of t.ie communication: . "Knowing the great benefits which come through co-operative efforts, will you not call the teachers of your city together and discuss the advisability of organizing yourselves Into a club? "The League of Teachers' Associations is a National organization, whose ob ject is 'to bring associations of teach ers into relations of mutual assistance and co-operation, to improve the social and economic status of teachers and to promote the best interests of edu cation. "The membership of the ' league is limited to organizations of not less than 10 grade or high school teachers regularly and exclusively engaged in classroom work.' Grade teachers are expected to attain all the requirements of people who have ileisure. Yet the teacher's salary is poor. She Is not protected by tenure of office laws or by retirement funds. She has had no part in shaping the school policies un der which she has worked. She has not been encouraged to travel or study by a system of exchange of teachers or by a Sabbatical year. She has not felt that teaching was & profession because teachers themselves have not .passed upon the qualifications of those in the profession. These benefits and many others can .come through the organized efforts of the classroom teachers. 'Will you not consider the league work and organize the grade teachers of your city?" Mrs. J. A.-Keating will entertain the American Revolution, - Monday after noon at 3 o clock at 8th St. Helen Court, Portland Heights. Sheridan, sang several delightful solos J during the meal.

Mrs. Mulligan in responding to the toast. "Woman's Place in Civic Uplift, gave a practical and helpful talk on the woman's movement for the better ment of civic life and the Influence of women in home and town. Several ' husbands were permitted, to briefly respond to toasts assigned them. The Woman's Literary Club, of Sher idan, is composed of 20 women asso ciated for study and social purposes and is having a decided effect upon the life of the community. The present banquet is the first affair which the husbands of the members were per mitted to attend and the success of the experiment was so pronounced that the husbands will reciprocate with a banquet later in the Summer.

FRANKLIN TO BE FIRST HIGH SCHOOL WITH PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION Flans Made to Establish Circle in Fall New Institution Reports Success in All Departments Since Organized at Beginning of Present Semester. PARIS HAS HEW RIVAL MAYOR HARBISON'S DAUGHTER SAYS BCKNOS AYRES BUST. ! Didn't See Any South American Boys Who Beat Our Young Men," Slyly Adda Marriageable Ml. SHERIDAN. Or., June 13. (Special.) The Woman's Literary Club of Sheri- dari, Orl, entertained their husbands and friends -at an elaborate banquet on, Saturday, June 6, at the Hotel New Slreridan- as a fitting, culmination of the club's two years' successful work. Covers were laid for 40 people and a delightful reception in the hotel par lors preceded the banquet. An ex quisite ! table setting of pink banked and grouped about center pieces of crystal and glass candles amid a pro fusion of pink roses made the banquet hall attractive and - the seven courses served by Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Hyde did much credit to those who so ably planned the delightful supper. The ho tel, which is new throughout since the late fire, offers Sheridan at last a so cial center at once creditable to the town and will no doubt be the scene of many future entertainments of a like nature. Mrs. F. C. Hyde. Mrs. H. C. R- Akin and Miss Myra Montgomery as com mittee on arrangement had the ban quet In charge. Mrs. R. K. Montgomery and Mrs. G. W. Upshaw looked after the decora tions and entertainment and the ban quet ' room was transformed into - a quiet 'bower of roses. A professional entertainer from Port land, Leo Shapiro, was most generou at the piano and Clarence Wilson, of CHICAGO. June 13. Miss Edith Og den Harrison, daughter of Mayor Har rison, arrived home after a tour months' tour through South America, Panama and continental Europe, with Miss Catherine Barker, heir to the 30,000,000 fortune of John H. Barker. Miss Barker remained in New York. The Mayor and Mrs. Harrison met Miss Harrison at the Twelfth-street station and expressed mild surprise at the trifling loss of flesh . their daughter attained on the tour. She acknowledged she had lost a few ounces and that she had a "most de lightful trip." The newspaper photographers and reporters who, Miss Harrison said, had bothered her since she landed in New York, prevailed on her to pose. "When we got Into New York, said Miss Harrison, "we were besieged by 400 reporters. I shut my mouth tight and didn't say a word to them. haven't much to say, but I will at least open my mouth to Chicago news papermen. "How about the reported engage ment of Miss Barker and .Howard Spaulding. Jr., the Yale athlete?" she was asked. ... ... "I don't know anything about it, and I wouldn't say anything' about it I did." ... ' ""What was the most . Interesting place you visited?" was one of the other questions, put hurriedly to her before she entered the Harrison auto mobile. . "Why, Buenos Ayres, by all means. It is a beautiful city. Paris, Lisbon none of the other cities I visited can compare with it. It has a delightful climate, beautiful amusement places, an air of cosmopolitanism and every thing to make a city delightful. Of course I enjoyed seeing the Panama Canal. Miss Barker is a jolly compan ion and we had a great time every place we visited. , . 'I certainly am glad to get back to Chicago. I didn't see any South Amer- can boys who looked better than American ones." PRANKL1N HIGH SCHOOL is to be the first in the list of high schools to. have a Parent-Teacher "Asso ciation. Immediately after plans were started- in February, the different cir cles whose "schools supply this high school with pupils gave a reception to welcome -the faculty- and at that time it was decided to -organize the first High .School Circle there. This will be one early in the-,Fall. This High School was instituted be cause the others were filled to capacity and the rapid growth of the southeast part of the city made it imperative. The board did not wait for a building to be erected, but established the school n a part of the Creston building. Franklin High started at. the begin ning of the present semester with Shel don Franklin Ball as principal and with nine instructors. There were 115 tudents enrolled. Although there is no space for a library, the public library has never allowed the school to want for references. Spelling; Tournaments Held. Spelling tournaments in the Latin and German departments respectively are held. A blue ribbon bearing the Inscription "Winner in ' the Annual Latin Tournament", is awarded the suc cessful contestant. Miss Roller, the head of the department, plans to make this an annual - event- Miss Roller is also working on an extensive Latin ex hibit which is being prepared especlal- y to answer concretely the question. What s the use of Latin? The theoretical side in the ' mathe matical department has not been over looked. The manual training class has done good work. The high school freshmen who have ndt done perfect work in arithmetic are permitted to take it again in the ninth grade. Stu dents who are not strong in algebra, even though their grades may be high enough to enable them to pass, will be urged to . repeat It at a special class. New material' will be introduced, but the same ground will be covered. Mr. Gelsler. In charge of this department. is arranging to introduce later a double course In mathematics. Phyaioeraphjr In terrain fuplla. The science department has offered the regular first term course In physl ography. The work has been done in an ordinary classroom with no equip ment regularly installed. By means of demonstration, however, students have been enabled to have a laboratory course. Great interest has been shown in the experimental work. Miss Collier is the .teacher. The English department has for its object general culture in the widest sense of the term. The mistake of re stricting the subject to the study of the printed page is carefully avoided. The aim is not to make, the pupil work in his class so that he may enjoy his English, but to make the classroom so enjoyable that he will want to worK, Muuh stress is being laid for greater purity in English. Another aim Is to provide the pupil with good, and at the same time Interesting literature. The work of the History department which '.has been organized under the direction of E. E. Jackson, is nearing the successful completion of its first term. -r7 is St s 7 I , , T-. 's- - I - -. " ' I . w !f f a V ! , j J r V 1 t'T;;vH..

COURT EVENTS RECALLED LIKE ' OF LATE COTJNTESS OXE OK MANY ACTIVITIES. Comteaae de Ponrtalea Leaves Record of Political and Social Attainments In Eiropran States. PARIS . June 13. (Special.) Com- tesse Edmond de Pourtales.nee Ren ouard de Bussierre, has died, after an illness of some months, in her once- famous house in the Rue Tronchet. near the Madeleine. She was one of the beauties of the Second Empire, and one of the closest friends of the Em press Eugenie; and. besides being a great society lady, was a woman who played discreetly some political role in contemporary French history. The German connections of the Pour- tales family are well known, and the late Countess enjoyed the friendship of the Emperor William. She kept up for some time a correspondence with Gen eral Dubrot, after the JFranoo-German War, which was of some political im portance, and which has been pub lished. - The countess was the daughter of Baron de Bussierre, director of the mint under the Second Empire. She leaves five children. Counts Jacques, Paul and Hubert de Pourtales, the Bar oness de Berckhelm, and the Marquise de Loys-C handleu. After the fall of the Second Empire the late countess often visited the Em press Eugenie in England. She also enjoyed the friendship of the late King Edward. Under the presidency of M. Thiers, the countess succeeded in ob taining the restitutron to the Empress of some of her property in France which had been confiscated. . The countess, who was a Protestant, like the Pourtales family, received all the highest French society, both in her house in the Rue Tronchet and in her country house, in Alsace, the Chateau de la Robertsau, near Strassburg. She was a - Bonapartist and a Protestant, but had a large circle of devoted friends among the Royalists and Cath olics. He receptions in both her houses, in which are contained remarkable art collections, were formerly among the most sought after in France. Besides being a leader of society, the late coun tess was a devoted worker in the cause of charity, and a great patroness of the arts. , OSTON, Mass., June 13. (Special.) i John Hays Hammond, Jr., son of the celebrated mining engineer. has been experimenting for a number of years with wireless telegraphy and adaptations of wireless to other pur poses. At' his father's Summer home on the . shore of Gloucester, Mass., on a wooded cliff, he has erected a wire- ess station with two enormous masts 360 feet-high, on a granite base. No higher wood masts have . ever Deen erected, and they have been insured at Lloyd's for $10,000. From his lookout station on the cliff, by touching a key. he - can steer and start or stop his wireless -controlled boat, out ana back along an eight-mile course filled with rocks, shoals and harbor craft at the speed of the swiftest cruiser. This boat has 40-horsepower gaso line motors, which propel the crart, the wireless being used to start and stop her and to guide her in what ever course the operator elects, one has-two masts, each 40 feet high, one with alternate black and white painted cylinders on it- By these masts In the daytime he sights the craft at any distance. At night these are illumi nated with clusters of electric llgnts. so that tne Doai can db buiucu as well as bv daylight. The stearing operator on tne iook- out platform touches a key that a child could press to release the energy emanating from the wireless antennae of the aerials, supplied by a private power-house near by. Mr. Hammond says that only a millionth part of the power released from the aerials ever reaches the boa(. ine rest i sipated into space. Searchlight Follows Boat. A powerful searchlight with a five- foot parabolic mirror, more powerful than that of any oattiesmp ana tne brilliancy of 186.000,000 candlepower seven miles at sea follows witn its light. A liftle crank lifts or lowers In four hours they would run from New beam at night the boat as shexlgzags about Gloucester harbor, uncanny in her avoidance of obstructions, some times with several experts aboard of her, and at others without a soul aboard. With a turn of his hand the expert operator on shore directs tnls Immense it; another moves it to left or rignt. these cranks being electrically con nected with motors in the searchlight house. Its beams do not cross the lookout platform at all. A tiny beam alone Illuminates his record pages. While at the same time. with the gentlest touch . of his fingers he can turn a vessel weighing five or six tons to any point of the compass at a dis tance of three to eight miles out at sea. Waves Control Motors. Tho control is accomplished by al lowing wireless waves from a shore station to act upon a system of re ceivers, relays and motors in the ves sel, each motor exercising some con trol over engines or rudder. One turns the rudder to the left, another to the rlarht. Another sets the enclnes at half speed, another at full speed, and a third stops them. The current op erating these motors comes from gen erators carried by the vessel itself. The wireless station ashore sends pow er to start the motors or stop them by a delicate receiving apparatus. There are about five main controls working on a dial, the wireless Impulses worn ing on these controls, like invisible fingerB. As the sending key is pressed in one way or another, the moving hand stops at different places on the dial, actuating one motor alter an other, each move performing some defl nlte niece of work. With the help of his laboratory staff, for this young man has money enough to experiment to his heart s content. with expert paid assistants, regardless of expense, and an expert Irora war vard. he worked an entire year devis ing a reliable detector to take the place of the Marconi coherers that had failed him when he had proven his abilitv to steer the boat for two miles. and victory was almost in sight. He guards the secret of this detector care fully. Fasteat Generators Obtained. He next gained -greater-efficiency by supplying ' his power-tiouse with tho fastest electric generators In the worm, turning, at the. rate .of. 700 miles an hour. -To -realize what -this-means, put the generators" (mentally ) ' on tracks. York across the -Atlantic, or from Bos ton to Chicago. He then replaced his 50-foot ueriuls with ones JbO teet Igh. Thus he had a sending station hat would transmit ordinary radios grams over a radius or ;uuu nines, ma most powerful private sending statio.i in the world. He also Is building a new boat, called the Radio, with a length of 0 feet and engines of ISO horsepower. having a guaranteed speed of 33 miles an hour. The only reason the guidance of the boat covers only a radius of between seven and eight miles is the limitations of the lookout, who can see only seven miles. The sending station will" send out efficient impulses of about bO miles. So that from a military point of view, one sending station is sufficient to guard 100 miles of coast line, after the coast has. been fully equipped with ookout statftns, in addition to the sending station. It may bo that with the powerful range finders used In coast defense works the radius may be increased, as the effectiveness of gun fire has been Increased. If necessary the sending station can be equipped with disappearing aerials. device which young Hammond has patented. For the wireless boat can be substi tuted a wireless torpedo, equipped, with the two small aerials, its hull al- ost sunk beneath the surface, but a very small part of its wnaleDacK shaped deck rising above the water. If one torpedo should be struck by an enemy's shot, others could be sent out. as fast as required. A dozen torpedos would not cost one-tenth the price of a battleship. Young Hammond is only 2a years old, and as a schoolboy made a written prediction that he would some day control a moving body at a distance by the sound of -his voice. He has al ready done this, fcly a wireless teic- . phone system he has invented, a sort of sound-amnliry ing aevice. tne vi brating energy of any spoken words is made to do the work usually done by the wireless key when pressed by one's finger. NEW $6000 LODGE HALL IS DEDICATED. r Dresser Cost 1 5 Cents. ST. LOUIS, June 13. Dresses of the latest styles and creations which cost 30 cents and less were worn by about 40 pupils of the Granite City public schools at the manual art exhibit. The novel idea was -thought out by the pupils alone. Their work has cre ated much comment. In no instance did the dresses cost more than 30 cents, ana some cost only 15 cent. k. . . :-.:-;-;v.-:-. : :: : .
