Henry of Navarrp. Ohio, by Harold E. por
ter. 1. The Century Co.. New Tort City.
Three choice paragraphs stand out
clearly and boldly from this novel,
which is the record of Henry Chalmers,
of Harvard, football hero and All
American right tackle:
If la father speaks:
"Henry," said Mr. Chalmers, "I'm trying
to think of some color that Isn't tn your
tie. and I can't." "That's the very latest
style. Dad." said Roberta, pityingly. "It's
the ultimate word in ties: I bought It my
self. Don't you know that Henry regu
lates men's styles In Navarre? He's per
fectly all right.".
Henry at home:
Kor the remainder of the Summer the so
ciety at Navarre. Ohio, consisted of Henry
Chalmers, entirely surrounded by concentric
circles of young people who didn't care
whether the placid matrons reported for
duty or not.
What his sister said:
ror two solid years I've been telling
everybody what a living wonder you are,
and what a hit you made in Boston, and
ell that, and then you have the nerve to
spend your first Saturday afternoon playing
tennis with that Jones Infant!
The story is one with a long chuckle
in it. Its text is "Girls and More
Girls." The stalwart hero is every
where saluted as "Henry," and the re
cital is a joyous one. Navarre is a
small manufacturing town in Ohio,
and one of the richest men in it is
Henry Chalmers' father, principal mag
nate in the wire fence business. There
are two children in the Chalmers fam
ily, our hero and his sister, Roberta.
Henry is looked on as the Beau Brum
mel, the social king-, of Navarre, the
daring masculine, who sets the fashion
la neckties and cut of vests.
Henry seems to think that he has
been purposely created to make love
to every pretty girl he meets. He does
make ardent love to several girls and
is refused. Strange, is it not? Helen
Richmond loves some one else; Miss
Adams thinks that Henry is too young,
and Miss Hollingsworth is offended
because Henry can't make a balky
auto behave.
At Harvard University Henry shines
in athletics, particularly in baseball
and football, but so far as girls are
concerned, Henry is mushy, easily in
fluenced and ignorant of the wiles of
the fair sex. As a lover he makes
ludicrous blunders, and at last he com
pletely loses his heart to a pink-and-white
girl who on the evening they
meet is under a vow not to speak to
bim.
Yet, there is no use denying it, Henry
is wholesome and Is youth-incarnate.
The Last Shot, by Frederick Palmer. S1.S5.
Charles ticribner's Sons, New York City,
N. T.
"My aim is to express not only war
as fought today, soldiers of today un
der the arms of today, but also the
effects of war in the degree of mod
ern organization and. methods on a
group of men and women, free in its
realism from the wild improbabilities
of some latter-day novelists who have
given us wars in the air or regaled
us with the decimation of armies by
explosives dropped from dirigibles or
their asphyxiation by noxious gases
compounded by the hero of the tale."
So writes Mr. Palmer, veteran war
correspondent, who has much experi
ence in modern wars, especially the
last Russo-Japanese and Balkan mili
tary campaigns. In "The Last Shot"
we meet with a terrific arraignment
against war, with most of the cheap
glory of it, most of the tinsel and gay
trappings torn away. Its interest is
of the most dramatic type. Humor it
has none. Its atmosphere is charged
with electricity, and its tale Is told
with grim terseness.
In "the Last Shot" two modern
armies face each other, those of the
Grays and Browns. Mr. Palmer says
that the scenes are imaginary, but the
Indications are that the Gray army
represents Germany and the Brown
army stands ' for France. A dash of
Great Britain is in the Brown army.
Miss Marta Galland. of La Tir, a town
in the Brown country, yet one on the
Gray-Brown frontier, is the heroine
and central figure of the novel. It is
she who is the real brains of the Brown
army. She is its chief spy. Colonel
Hedworth Westerling is head of the
general staff of the Gray army, and
Westerling not only lpves Marta, but
steals across the frontier to take tea
with the Galland family. Curiously
enough, Captain Arthur Lanstron, chief
of the aerial division of the Browns,
on the day on which Westerling is
taking tea with the Gallands, flies in
his aeroplane near to the Galland
home, and the plane collapses. Lan
stron is slightly injured. '
The Grays have 4,500,000 soldiers,
while the Browns can only muster 3,
000,000 soldiers. The premier of the
Grays covets the territory of the
Browns, and Westerling eggs on the
premier, because he, Westerling, hopes
to emerge in the war as a great mili
tary hero. Unfortunately, he makes a
confident of Marta. The Grays declare
war on the weaker nation, and Marta
has a secret telephone installed under
her home, a telephone which is con
nected with Lanstron, who by this time
is chief of staff of the Browns. Wes
terling chooses Marta's home as his
military headquarters, and he makes
the colossal blunder of telling Marta
his plans, especially his plans for at
tacks in fornd
". At first, the Gray armies win. The
newspapers oi the Grays are heavily
censored, and all Gray losses are min
imized. The Brown army is skilfully
ted. and masterly retreats are ordered

of the novel:

Frivole, by Kate Kom. $1.35. Brentano'a.
New York City, N. T.
Miss Frivols is an English suffra
gette, and on opening this novel of
genteel England, we read about Miss
Frivole, expecting that she is going to
do something dreadful, such as blow
ing up a church, but she is quiet for a
suffragette and is not a wild militant.
Still, she has beliefs about women's
rights, and causes her family, particu
larly her mother, some concern. The
story is told by Frivole's mother. Fri
vole is a young girl with a variety of
lovers, and she is lucky enough to be
able to pick and to choose. Frivole's
real name is Daphne, and her lively
baby sister is named Jane.
Trouble comes when Frivole an
nounces her engagement to Alhr
Gadby, a rising young Socialist and ex
ponent or free thought who hoped some
day to be a member of the British Par
liament. The girl's family, however,
is aristocratic, and disapproves of the
match. Frivole's grandmother arrives
to reason with the headstrong girl.
The door opened and Jane, aged five, en
tered the room, clad in a pair of Edward's
(her father's) bathing drawers and my best
motor veil. She had blacked her face by
the simple expedient of holding a nursery
tea-plate to the wick of a candle and using
the smoke. She was a dissipated wreok
with glittering golden curls, but her mind
was totally clear.
"I fought I should find you here," she
said calmly. "Nurse is talking to James
in the passage she says James is a very
Intelligent man for a footman and knows
more about Insurance stamps van anyone
she ever met afore. They lick 'em on
together, daddy, dear first Nurse licks and
then James, and when all the gum has
been licked away, then "
"I think," said my mother, frostily, "that
you blamed me for Daphne's obstinacy. It
seems to me, my dear Gabrlelle and Edward,
that you bring up your children in a most
reprehensible fashion; they are both spoiled
absolutely and entirely spoiled."
Jane turned a baleful eye upon her grand
mother. "Nurse sent me to bed 'cause I bwoke
most of the tea-net," she said calmly. "It
wasn't a vewy pwetty one ait all, and I was
playhV at a siege and of course the cannon
balls had to make some noise. She took
away all my clothes, but I knew where
daddy's trousers was kept."
I looked at my daughter. Round and
delicious of curve, yellow of hair, and blue
of eyes she might be, but no one could
call Jane pretty. She was determined, in
expression and In purpose, and Edward and
I adored her. but she would never be known
as the loveliest woman In London.
"Jane, you must go back to the nursery
and apologise," I said sternly. "The tea
sendee was only new last week."
Jane cast herself down upon the sofa
with a shriek. I could see nothing but
white-rimmed legs kicking wildly In a
tangle of motor veil, and it was Edward
himself who came to my assistance.
"Jane, if you will do what mummy wansa,
and be a good girl, you shall come for a
drive with us now in the new car." he
said soothingly.
"Has it got. a back seat and can It go
up hills on the top gear?" said Jane, ceaa
lng from her shrieks for a moment, "Tommy
Duncan says his farvers motor could run
down the lift shaft at Park Lane on one
wheel!"
"So could ours," said Edward calmly. ;
"And Tommy says too that hia farver
has got a cottage in Cornwall, where you
don't have no servants, and where there's
no barf-room but you just stand in the
yard and someone frows water on you out
of the well in a bucket or you needn't
have no barf if you don't like. Tommy's
muvver goes down there j when she gets
tired of London, and he tfoesn't have no
nurse nor governess nor nuffin but a spade
ana aigs in tne garaen. i
All this shows that Jane, the baby. Is
what we in this country would call a
"spoiled kid." ,'
Frivol liv.es .to believe .that Iter mis
sion in life isn't what she thought It
was. and that a home of her own is
more to be desired than a career of.
wild public notoriety as a window
smasher. In a word, Frivole reforms
before she goes very far.
Letters From a Living Dead Man, written
down by .Elsa Barker. $1.25. Mitchell
Kennerley. New York City.
A strange book, and one that causes
profound thought. It purports to give
messages from the spirit-world, al
though the author insists that she is
not a spiritualist. She protests that the
message is not a hoax. Here is ber
reason why this book of 291 pages came
to be written:
One night last year in Paris I was strong
ly impelled to take up a pencil and write,
though what I was to write about X had
no idea. Yielding to the impulse, my hand
was seized as if from the outside, and a
remarkable message of a personal nature
came, followed by the signature "X."
The purport of the message was clear,
but the signature puzzled me.
The following day I showed this writing
to a friend, asking her if she had any idea
who "X" was.
"Why," she replied, "don't you know
that that is what we always call Mr. ?"
I did not know.
Now. Mr. was six thousand miles
from Paris, and, as wo supposed, in the
land of the living. But a day or two later
a letter came to roe from America atating
that Mr. had died in the western part
of the United States a few days before I
received in Paris the automatic message
signed "X."
The person who signed as "X" turns
out to be a well-known lawyer, who
was a great student of philosophy, and
who passed out into the other life when
he was 70 years old.
It is recorded in sacred writ that
there is no marriage in Heaven, and
that "when ' they shall rise from the
dead, they are as the angels which are
in Heaven." Yet, this book now under
review records a case where a man who
on earth had been twice married, was
besieged In the spirit life by his two
wives, each of whom claimed him as
her particular one.
Here is "K's" explanation of the law
of development as applied to gods:
"Man's ideas of the gods change as
the gods themselves change, for every
thing is becoming as Heraclitus said
about 24 centuries ago. Did you fancy
that the gods stood still, and that only
you progressed? In that case you might
some day outstrip your god, and fall to
worshipping yourself, having, nothing
to look up to as superior. Accompanied
by the Teacher, I have stood face to
face with some of the older gods. Had
I come out here with a superior con
tempt for all gods save my own, I
should hardly have been granted that
privilege; for the gods are as exclusive
as they are inclusive, and they only re
veal themselves to those who can see
them as they are."
The truism is taught that every man
has his next life to prepare for: "You
should get away from the mental habit
of regarding your present life as the
only one: get rid of the idea that the
life you expect to lead on this side,
after your death, is to be an endless ex
istence In one state. You could no more
endure such an endless existence In the
subtle matter of the inner world than
you could endure to live forever in the
gross matter in which you are now en
cased. You would weary of it. You
could not support it."
It is also curious to read that dis
embodied spirits, shortly after death,
often wish (with resultant unhappy
emotions) to view the bodies in which
their spirits once lived.
The book is certain to cause wide
discussion. It is reverent in tone.

on Hood River Ranch.
HOOD RIVER, Or., June 10. (Spe
cial.) M .M. Hill, an orcbardist,
of the East Side, has on hia place a
China pheasant cock that: is in realty
the king of his barnyard. The band
some bird was discovered crouched In
a hedge, half starved, during the Win
ter, after a heavy fall of snow. He was
coaxed to eat and grain was scat
tered, each day coming closer to the
house. The pheasant finally became sd
accustomed to his quarters that he fed
from Mr. Hill's hand.
This Srprlng he usurped the place of
a black Minorca rooster. The rooster
fought hard to drive away the bird, the
battle lasted for several days. The
chicken was apparently the victor at
first, but the pheasant showed grit and,
though knocked down by tho rooster
time and again, refused ' to take the
count. The Minorca finally was killed.
Several hybrid birds have been hatched,
their mothers having been Plymouth
Rocks. -
Mr. Hill declares the pheasant is in
valuable in his orchard. He spends the
days scratching and hunting for bugs
and grubs. He is more energetic than
the chickens, but is always ready at
meal time.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 13. (Spe
cial.) Fresh and severe restrictions on
Jews in Russia -are "In prospect, not
withstanding pledges recently given
by the new Minister of finance, M.
Bark.
It is known that Jews have already
been made ineligible for directorships
of mining companies and certain others
of an analogous kind. Now this re
striction Is to be extended to all
branches of industry, and notably to
the timber trade, which is of such im

this effect have been drawn up and
approved by the Council of Ministers.
Discontent is general in business
circles, and especially among the lead
ing bankers. The policy now adopted
is criticised in the severest manner as
not only contrary to the assurance giv

tion also to the undertaking given by
the Minister of Commerce at the open

SUFFRAGE QUESTION MAY BE ISSUE
AT CLUB FEDERATION CONVENTION
Federal Meat Inspection and Reorganization Flan Also Appear as Possible Causes of Real Clash at Meeting of
Women's Organization Delegates in Chicago Committee's Flans Work Out With Precision.
BT SARAH A. EVANS,
(President Oregon State Federation of
Women's Clubs.)
WITH the story of the twelfth bi
ennial convention of the General
Federation only half told, al
ready the echoes of its first days are
reaching the outside world. A. trans
portation committee of 200 clubwomen
had everything In readiness, and as
early as last Monday, two days before
the formal opening of the convention,
had distributed themselves among the
various depots to bo in. waiting for the
early arrivals; and they came early.
Many of the largest delegations, com
ing in on special trains, reached Chi
cago early Monday. Among these were
the specials from Minnesota, North Da
kota. California, Texas and Tennessee.
Scarcely had a delegate stepped from
the car than her hand baggage was
seized, and almost by intuition her state
was discovered and she was hustled
into the waiting vehicle and whirled to
the hotel which had been provided for
her months before.
The last word from the Oregon dele
gates, who arrived before the opening
concert last Tuesday evening, was that
throngs of clubwomen were pouring
into the city on every train and from
every section of the country and that
the local committees were well organ
ized and working like ono vast ma
chine. ...
What will be the great issue of this
convention? is a question that has been
asked for many months, with growing
interest as me convention approached.
As yet it has not developed, though
several things seem to be loomtng on
the horizon. Inner circles have known
for a long time that the chairman of
the public health committee and the
chairman of the home economics com
mittee have stood squarely opposed to
each other on the matter of Federal
meat inspection. It will be remembered
that Mrs. Caroline Bartlett Crane, a
woman who usually speaks with au
thority, and cautious, though bold in
her utterances, made a severe attack
upon the Federal meat inspection. It
was not done through the General Fed
eration, though Mrs. Crockett, chair
man of the public health committee, in
dorsed Mrs. Crane officially. Some
members of the home economics com
mittee, who should speak for the or

MRS. L. F. writes: "Will you klndlly
tell me in the Oregonian how I
can correct bad breath? I.am
not conscious of it myself, but my fam
ily frequently speak of it- --"How
can I learn the cause of it, and
remove the trouble? I rarely have in
digestion, and try to keep the teeth
in good condition. Occasionally have
gas on the stomach and a bad taste
in the mouth when waking in the
morning.
"I use neither tea nor coffee, but
a good deal of milk and cocoa; little
pastry, sweets or meat. If you can
help mo I will be very grateful. One
doctor told me to gargle diluted per
oxide of hydrogen after meal si three
mouthfuls. and swallow the fourth, but
it makes me sick, destroys my appe
tite and creates an aversion for food.
"I should also like to know the cause
of and cure of pimples and blotches on
a young man's face. Will rapid eat
ing, coffee, cocoa, or smoking produce
them? Is there any simple applica
tion that will help, or must the treat
ment be internal?"
1. A bad breath is due to coated tongue,
a cavity in a tooth, to fermentation and de
composition of food between th. teeth, to
catarrh of tha throat or nose, to tonsils
that are in a diseased condition, and to the
intake of too much proteid food. Gaes from
tho stomach are also the cause ot bad
breath at times. Auto-tntoxication Is a com
mon cause of bad breath and a bad taste
tn your mouth. You may have one or more
of -these conditions.
In the tonsilB there are deep crypts and
the decomposition of the caseous matter In
these crypts gives rlso to a very bad breath.
Look into these various conditions. - If
the tongue Is coated, leave off the milk and
cocoa for a time. It may be these are the
cause of the bad taste you mention. Taking
plenty of time to masticate the food ma
terially helps lti clearing up a coated tongue.
Take a toothbrush to the tongue if neces
sary. A loose tilling in a tooth gives a bad
taste and a bad breath.
If you suffer from catarrh of the pharynx
have it attended to.

mouth after each meal with a little cinna

The free eating of oranges or lemons, or

3. During adolescence many boys and
girls aro troubled with pimples on the face
and other parts of the body. Often it is
impossible to say what the cause is, but It

greasy foods, much sugar and pastries, in
digestion and constipation will aggravate
any tendency to pimples.
Steaming the face and shampooing It, to
keep lr free from oils, helps to prevent these
facial blemishes, so does massage, but I
know of no lotion that does any actual good.
The treatments must be lurgely from with

thing to do for bee stings? Is there
any danger from numerous bee stings?"
Reply.
1. The best and most satisfactory treat
ment for any Insect bite is to apply cloths
wrung out ot Ice water or from as cold
water as one can get without delay. The
cold gives immediate relief and helps to
keep down the swelling that usually folr
low; bee stings. Do not let the cloths get
warm: change them every few minutes.
2. Every time a bee or insect stings it
injects a tiny drop of poison and a large
number of stings received at one time Is
quite likely to be attended with some
shock, especially if It Is about the head.
The writer was called to Bee a man who
had fallen out with a swarm of bees, and as
he waa bald-headed a hundred or more
stings were sticking In his scalp. He waa
very much prostrated and confined to his
bed for a day, but the cold compresses to
his head gave great relief. Lotions in which
there Is alcohol give relief, but there Is
nothing that can be applied so quickly a
water and nothing that will soothe so
quickly as the cold applications.

One of several measures may be used
as follows:
1. Oet some pure formaldehyde and ap
ply a little to the wart with a toothpick.
In a day or two peel off the hardened
skin and make new applications until the
wart has disappeared.
3 Tincture of Iodine applied in the same
way gives good results In some cases.
3. - Heat a needle in an alcohol flame
until it is red-hot and pass it through the
wart.
Fist Worms.

Mrs. Crane's position well taken or

the subject and it will undoubtedly

Is considered, however, of importance

ton to have a representative on the
ground.
...
Many believe that woman suffrage
will furnish the battle ground for the
Chicago convention.
Fresh from several victories over
the lawless clement at the polls, and
still enjoying the first fruits of politi
cal equality, the Ixs Angeles women
introduced a suffrage resolution at the
San Francisco convention. Mrs. Philip
Moore, the presiding officer, ruled it
out of order on a technicality, though
perfectly within the letter of the con
stitution. This brought down a storm;
several states sustained California,
and various ways were devised to re
introduce the subject, but Mrs. Moore's
ruling being sustained on appeal, the
matter was dropped, but not forgotten.
Since that time four other states have
given their women politipal equality,
and the sentiment is stronger than
ever that, as an organization, the Gen
eral Federation should declare for
woman suffrage.
When Mrs. Moore was forced to ex
plain her stand on the subject she
said:
"I beg you to consider that you
would give a blow not only to the
General Federation, but also to suf
frage, because every member going
out from an organization where we are
now trying to work together, educat
ing ourselves for citizenship, would go
out as a strong 'anti.' If they remain,
when citizenship is given to a state,
they will be among the most conscien
tious voters."
This same reason holds equally good
at this time, but it is well known that
Southern California Is sending a
strong delegation to Chicago instruct
ed to force the issue, and Illinois has
joined forces with them.

about adenoids, but I am sure not
many of us know what they are and
what the symptoms are. Will you kind
ly tell me what are the symptoms and
what I should look for in my children V
Reply.
Adenoids are growths of a soft tissue
called lymphoid tissue, and this takes place
In the upper part of .the throat cavity, be
hind the nasal chambers. The growth of
this tissue shuts off the space for air and
so interferes with the proper and correct
breathing. The adenoid tissue usually de
velops soon after birth, or at least before
the child is 4 or & years old. After it has
been removed H may grow tn again.
Symptoms Mouth breathing This is one
of the most common and persistent symp
toms. As the breathing Is restricted the
child will sleep with mouth open and there
is more or less loud breathing or snoring.
Krequent colds and nasal discharge The
child has difficulty in keeping the nose
open. Colds are frequent during the Wiuter
months and a very slight cold will prevent
breathing through the nose. In timo this
gives something of a "nasal twang" to the
voice.
A the adenoids grow the hearing is at
tested. It will be noticed that the child
has to be spoken to in a louder voice. The
hearing In one ear a poorer than la the
other.
If the adenoids are bad and continue for
years the "adenoid face" develops and the
child has difficulty to keep up in the classes
in school. The face has a more or less
stupid expression. '
If the symptoms of adenoids are present
you should have the child examined by a
physician.

Again the Issue, for tnere is always
one that supersedes all the others,
may come through the reorganization
scheme presented in the amendment
offered by the New England clubs.
Jt may bo harking back to ancient
history, but-the germ of this amend
ment waa planted at tho Denver con
vention in 1898, when Massachusetts
presented Mrs. Alice Ives Breed for
the presidency of the General Federa
tion and Georgia defeated her with
Mrs. Rebecca Douglas Lowe. "Mason
and Dixon" line was chalked out anew,
and the sectional feeling has never
been wholly eliminated. While tho
South has uot so many clubwomen as
the North, there is always a larger
attendance of Southern and Middle
Western women at the conventions
than from New England, and the
Southern women, being more clever
politicians, always manage to honor
more of their favorite daughters witn
offices than any other section of tho
country.
The entire New England states
have not had a member elected to the
board for six. years, though one or
two have been appointed to fill va
cancies. The proposed reorganization
will make the representation on the
board sectional.
It will be interesting to watch the
proceedings as they come to us
through the press dispatches this
week, not only from a club standpoint,
but from a National standpoint, be
cause the General Federation, with its
million and more members, wields an
influence powerful in social, indus
trial, economic and political condi-
tlons. Its decisions will reach to every
hamlet in this country and far out
beyond tho seas, where many women
are straining their ears to catch the
words that must instruct and inspires
them for the next two years.

PARIS. June 13. tSpocial.) A cu

the First Chamber of the Civil Tri

Buc. whose land is surrounded by the
aerodromes of three aeroplane tlrms,
claims damages from these firms on
the grounds that the continual flying
over h)s fields has caused him serious
pecuniary loss. Game has been scared
away and his domestic animals fright
ened. The attention of his laborers is
diverted from their work, and the ac
cidental landing of flying machines
has damaged his crops.
M. Heurteblse 'asks, the court not
only to award him damages, but also
to declare that the air 5s only free in
so far as the passage of the aviator
causes prejudice to no one, and each
landowner should for his protection
be regarded as the proprietor of a zone
of 600 feet of air immediately above
his property. The case has been ad
journed for a week.
