DURING the past week, Wednesday

notable programme. The Council of

discussed various subjects and heard a
splendid lecture by Superintendent L.
R. Alderman in the library at 3 o'clock,
and in the evening the State Women's
Press Club met in the library.
It is indeed a treat to us in this busy
day to hear the Incidents of the lives
of the early pioneers. Many of the
scenes of the pioneer days were clearly
depicted to the members of the Coterie
Club by Mrs. Newton McCoy, who read
. paper on "Oregon the End of the
Trail." Mrs. B. T. Soden spoke of the
passing of the wild life, and both pa
pers were highly interesting and of ex
ceptional merit.
Dr. Mary Thompson, who has been
a. resident of Portland for 42 years, was
the guest of honor and an inspiration
for a toast, "To the Oregon Pioneer,"
given by Mrs. Helen Miller Senn. Dr.
Thompson responded with an interest
ing reminiscent talk. Other table talks
were given by Mrs. Percy Brown, presi
dent of the Woman's Club, Silverton,
Or.; Mrs. M. J. Duryea, president of the
Fortnightly Club of Eugene; Mrs. M. L.
T. Hidden, Mrs. E. B. Gaze and Mm.

to represent that organization at the

day was the meeting of the Consumers'
League. The members assembled in
the Library for the annual election of
officers, the reports and an address
by superintendent L. R. Alderman.
Mrs. H. R. Talbot was re-elected
president to serve her tenth year.
She announced that this positively
would be her last year as presiding
officer. Mrs. Talbot gave a splendid
report, in which she enumerated some
of the accomplishments of the league
and its offshoot, , the Welfare Com
mission. She urged further interest
in the work and told of the plans for
an exhibit at the Panama-Pacific Ex
position. She spoke of the need of
protecting the child and of a renewed
interest tn work for pure food.
xne plans for tne coming year in
clude improvement in living and hous
ing conditions, aiding recreational or
ganizations, making an exhibit at the
fair in San Francisco, promoting the
establishment of leagues in schools and
colleges, sustaining social welfare leg
islation now in operation, conducting
membership campaign, continuing
the surveillance of milk supplies and
markets, upholding the working con
ditions of women and children and the
encouraging of an increase in the
number of firms entitled to the use
of the league label.
The treasurer s report showed a bal-
and from last year of $57.13: total
ith receipts, 1263.97; expended.
$146.59: balance on hand, $131.87. The
league never makes appeals for help
except that it asks co-operation in its
work for the cause of humanity. The
expenses are met out of the small dues.
Dues are now payable.
Besides Mrs. Talbot, the officers
elected were: Vice-presidents, first,
Mrs. Elmer Col well; second. Mrs.
George Kirkham Smith; third, Mrs. W.
F. Ogburn; recording secretary, Mrs.
Edward Hughes; corresponding sec
retary. Miss K. L. Trevett; treasurer,
Miss Cora Pattee; directors, Mrs. W.
B. Ayer, Miss Caroline Gleason. Mrs.
George Collins, Mrs. E. C. Shevlin. Mrs.
J. D. Farrell, Mrs. J. Anare rouunom,
Mrs. Millie R. Trumbull.
All who spoke urged the women to
ask for the goods bearing the Consum
ers Leasrue label. This was empna
sized reneatedlv. Mrs. Talbot said
that Li Dm an. Wolf '. & Co. had
set an excellent example of considera
tion for employes by establishing
quarters In the building where there
was a rest room and caieteria, ana
that Meier & Frank had said they
would make provision for the workers
In their new building.
A message . from Miss Florence
Kelley, the general secretary of the
National Consumers' Leagues, was
given. In it she said:
For nearly a Quarter of a oentury, th
Consumers' League of JJew York City has
been at work upon the task of Interestlng
the shopping public In the welfare of the
women, youth and children who make and
distribute the gooda we buy and use. We
all of us constitute the shopping public.
We all use food, clothing, shelter, books,
and 1000 less Important things, which are
bought for ua If we do not actually make
the Individual purchase over xne counter.
At first the Consumers" League appealea
to Individual men and women to shop early
In the day. early In the week, and, partic
ularly at Christmas, early In the month. Jt
appealed also to Individual merchants to
improve the conditions of work in their
particular stores.
Many good provisions or tne cnild. laDor
laws and the laws for' a shorter working
day, to which we are all so accustomed
that we rarely think of them, had not yet
come into existence when the Consumers'
Leuua was started. Children -could go to
work In stores at any age and could stay
until any hour of the night. There was no
limit of any kind upon their work In offices
and on the streets. No compulsory school
attendance law was enforced to remove
them from the workshop to the schoolroom.
No merchant was required to furnish 'seats.
Children could be sent on errands by mil-
chants buy and sell goods with the label
attached. Everyone can help' by taking
trouble to Insist upon 'having the label.
It soon became clear, however, that this
guarantee could cover only the factories In
which the garments are put through the
last process stitching factories and work
shops. Behind these readily accessible xac
torles lurked tenement shops and homes,
cotton mills and bleacherles, and the cotton
fields. If the shopper's conscience Is to be
quite clear. It Is not enough to deal in
well regulated storeB and buy goods carry
lng the Consumers' League label. Beyond
these Is a vast, largely unknown region to
which the ordinary person has no direct
access.
Here the method of persuasion cannot be
applied. Tenement-house laws, sweatshop
laws, child labor statutes, and measures
for a short working day and for stopping
night work are necetssary to protect the
shopper's conscience, as well as the health,
welfare, intelligence and morals of the
workers with whom the shoppers, as such,
never come In contact. From year to year,
therefore, the activities of the league have
broadened, as Its membership and funds
increased, and much work has been done
In getting and enforcing labor laws. The
National Child Labor Committee is a direct
outgrowth of the work of the league, sev
eral of whose members are trustees of the
committee.
lng. At 3 o'clock; W. B. Galvani will
address the club on "Peace and .War."

The second meeting of the Delphian
Oracles was held Thursday evening at
the home of Mrs. E. M. Dryer, 322
Broadway. This is an organization
comprised of young business women,
who will take up the Delphian course
of reading for the Winter. The pro
gramme given by the club will cover
lessons on the history of art and the
epochs of human progress.
Miss Gracia Smith was elected presi
dent. Miss Bertha Godberson, vice
president, and Miss Josie Harden, sec
retary. Miss Lena Jacoby, secretary
of the Business Girls' Delphian Club,
was a visitor and outlined the work
for the new club. During the social
hour refreshments were served by the
hostess. The club will meet Novem
ber 19 with Miss Godberson, 302 Vista
avenue.
Among the excellent reports of work
among the women's clubs, comes this
from Woodburn

director of the General Federation of
Woman's Clubs and chairman of the

attendance at the Oregon Federation
Club luncheon, which will be held in
the Hotel Benson on November 21.
On this same occasion the clubwomen
will invite the presidents of some of
the leading men s organizations to be

an opportunity to get an insight Into
the work that the women are accom
plishing and to understand the impor
tance of the approaching gathering of
clubwomen from all parts of the United
States. Mrs. Sarah A. Evans. Dies!
dent of the State Federation, has given
much time in arranging for the Na
tlonal meeting. In preparing for their
entertainment she will need the co
operation of all the clubwomen and of
the civic bodies as well. Those who
attend the council will no doubt go to
ban Francisco afterward and in Cali
fornia they will be greeted with bound
less hospitality and, that they shall not
outrival the Oregonians. the local
women will give of their time and en
ergy to make the council a brilliant
success.
Mrs. Harper in a letter to Mrs. Evans
says that the National board, who at
first set the number to attend at 1000,
now say that 2000 clubwomen will be
in Portland for the meeting. Several of
the club presidents from nearby towns
will come to Portland for the luncheon
on November 21. All members of the

A point made at the recent state con
vention of the Oregon Congress of Moth
ers was the good effect that is noticed
upon the health of the. children who
have had the advantage of hot school
lunches. An effort is made in all parts
of the city iO secure co-operation
wherever the lunches are provided by
the Parent-Teacher Associations, with
the domestic science department of tho
elementary and high schools, and to
give the children practice in serving
meals, both family size and in larger
quantities. The most elaborate attempt
so far has been made in the school of
trades where lunches are served to a
large number of students by the pu
pils of Miss Grace La Brie, under the.
supervision of Miss Lillian Tingle, who
is at the head of the domestic science
department of the city schools. Tho
success of the Parent-Teacher hot
lunches has been especially marked in
the large schools of the outlying districts.
