GROWING FUND IS
TO AID STUDENTS
Northwestern Foundation Is
Chartered to Raise Money
for Loans.
TIME TO REPAY IS AMPLE
Deserving Workers In Idalio, Oregon,
Montana and Washington, to
Benefit by Arrangement for
Available Money.
WHITMAN COL.LKGK, Walla Walla,
Wash.. May 8. (Special.) The boy 3
and pirls of the Northwest who -want
to ro to college and are willing to
work their way will be helped by a
new organization, the Isortliweatern
Kducatlonal Foundation, that lias Just
been chartered under the laws of the
Uate of Washington, with H. C. Henry,
of Seattle, as president. Its purpose Is
to provide a businesslike means by
which hard-working young people of
the Paclflo Northwest Idaho, .Montana,
Oregon and Washington. may be en
it bled to secure a college or trofes
sional education In any institution of
the world.
The foundation will raise an ample
sum to be loaned in small amounts at
rot more than 6 per cent to deserving
tudents. If a deserving young man In
Western Washington wishes to go to
Yale and meets the simple conditions
that tho incorporators propose, he may
borrow each year the amount necessary
for his expenses, and pay It back either
before or after graduation. or if a
young man or woman wishes to go to
the University of Washington or the
University of California, or to any
other college, he may borrow upon the
same terms the modest sum necessary
Xor expenses.
trorrlng Fund la Proposed.
Tho Incorporators propose further to
add to the principal as much as pos
sible of the interest received, so that
the fund will increase constantly. The
men of wealth who give to this fund
will have the assurance that if only
3 per cent- be added each year their
gifts at compound interest will double
in 24 years and will Increase five-fold
by the end of a century. Allowing
for costs of administration and losses
by death or otherwise, it is probable
that at least 3 per cent each year can
thus be added to the principal.
A Tacoma girl Is now studying vocal
music In Paris because of the gen
erosity of two public-spirited Tacoma
business men who knew her and her
capabilities. A boy from the Grays
Harbor country is studying at the Uni
versity of California because he hap
pened to know a public-Bpirlted banker
In that part of the country who be
friended and helped him.
The new foundation opens a door of
hope for the deserving young man or
young woman who has health, ambition
and the willingness to work. It will
not encourage Idlers or those who are
unwilling to help themselves.
Credit Given Aberdeen Banker.
To W. J. Patterson, the banker of
Aberdeen, belongs the credit oX orig
inating the idea from which the organ
ization has sprung, but the Incorpora
tors of this new departure in educa
tional philanthropy are some of the
leading men of the four Northwestern
states. 11. C. Henry, of Seattle, is pres
ident; W. J. Patterson, of Aberdeen,
vice-president; President S. B. L. Pen
rose, of Walla Walla, is secretary and
treasurer. W. W. Cotton, of Portland,
ex-Governor Miles C. Moore, of Walla
Walla, and Judge Thomas Burke, of
Seattle, are fimong the men who have
associated themselves in this generous
undertaking.
The agent of the foundation will look
into each case and satisfy himself as
to the applicants trustworthiness and
ability. When the applicant has satis
factorily answered the necessary ques
tions and has furnished such testimo
nials as to character and standing as
may be required, the agent will recom
mend that a loan be made, and if at
the time sufficient funds are available,
the loan will be granted by the execu
tive committee.
Oftentimes a young woman is obliged
to drop out of college because she can.
not obtain the $30 or $100 necessary to
complete the year. The new fund will
meet such cases of need and will make
it possible for such young women to
keep on with their higher education.
Post-graduate students of medicine or
law may find help in a similar man
ner. Fund to Be Raised In Parts.
The incorporators do not intend to
raise the entire fund at once. They
expect to raise $50,000 a year for five
years, and after that from 600, to 1000
young people each year will benefit
by this far-sighted and wisely helpful
plan.
Men to present the plan to the people
of wealth in all the Northwestern
states have not yet been appointed.
TeWitt A. Clark, a graduate of Am
herst College, has agreed to supervise
the work in Washington. The incor
porators expect that the foundation
will be doing business by the opening
of the next school year. Headquarters
for Washington have been established
in room 1105 American Bank btiildlng.
Second avenue and Madison street, Se
attle. The Incorporators hope also in due
time to broaden their activities. Their
charter gives them the power to re
ceive bequests and gifts of all sorts for
educational purposes, and they will
undertake to carry out the wishes of
such donors in every wa.y to benefit
education in the Northwest.

Margarita Fischer Favorite of
Many Movie Fans.
STAGE CAREER LESS NOTED
Native of Middle West Who Passed
Early nre Xear Silvorton Is or
Type of Beauty Specially
Adapted to Film.
Probably no star in the film world is
better known to Oregonians than Mar
garita Fischer. She was born in the
Middle West some 23 or 24 years ago
and lived the early part of her life in
Silverton. When she was a small girl
she used to appear in "home talent"
plays In the town Homer Davenport
made famous, and was a great favor
ite. People loved the bright curly
haired girl. When she was about 14
years old hei-. father was persuaded
that the child's talents were sufficient
to place before the public and at 16
she was known all over the West as
"Babe Fischer" the youngest leading
woman on the -stage.
In the same company with her was
her funny, chubby sister two years
her scniqr. Dot Fischer. She played
character parts until the younger sis
ter secured an engagement with Walter
Sanford when she marrried and retired
from the stage.
Margarita was more ambitious for a
regular "career," however, and she
later played in the companies of T.
Daniel Frawley, Joseph Medill Patter
son and Grace George.
bhe also appeared in a vaudeville
sketch with Harry Pollard her present
director and husband.
Her motion picture experiences have
been a continuous triumph, starting
with the Sellg Polyscope Company in
Chicago. This was followed by an en
gagement with. the American and later
an extended stay with the Imp, which
led to the Universal, principally under
tne nex nrana. miss Fischer is blessed
with youth and great beauty and
possesses wonderful. powSprs of facial
expression. She can literally "talk
with her eyes'" She is exceptionally
good in emotional parts, but is almost
as much at home in light comedy and
surely there was never a more pathetic
"poor girl" on the screen, or a sweeter
"old lady," when the opportunity pre
sents itself. '
Perhaps Miss Fischer's greatest tri
umph in pictures was in "The Quest." a
Mutual Master picture which was re
cently an attraction at one of the Port
land theaters.
She has appeared in innumerable
other pictures and her films are eager
ly sought after by the thousands of
people who either know her personally
or with whom she has become a favo
rite on the screen.
Miss Fischer's type of beauty is ideal
for the camera. .
Her eyes, long-lashed and dark, her
hair admass of heavy curls, of medium
height, and as agile as a young doe,
this Oregon gtrl has endeared herself to
Oregon people more with her screen
work than she possibly could with
years of effort on the stage. .
Miss Fischer has won more popular
ity contests than she has fingers and
toes. She likes the applause of the
people, and they like her.

CONCRETE ROADS URGED
GRANGERS PRESENT PETITION TO
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Report ( Camnalttee That Vlcirci nit
ferrat Types of 'Waablna-ton Pav
ing la Adopted at Meeting.
Representatives of 10 granges in
Multnomah County, and of Pomona, the
county grange, making 11 in all, at a
meeting in room II of the Public Li
brary Friday adopted recommenda
tions of a sub-committee of six mem
bers who recently investigated differ
ent types of hard-surface roads in
Washington, that all roads to be paved
in Multnomah County under the $1,2 50,
000 bond issue be paved with concrete.
Members of the sub-committee were:
J. J. Johnson, chairman, who read the
report: H. A. Darnall, John Townsend,
H. A. Lewis, R. P. Rasmussen and John
Slerit. The report was made to the
permanent roads committee of the
grange, composed of 33 members, but
75 grangers from Pomona, Evening?
Star, Russellvllle, Lents, Pleasant Home,
Multnomah. Columbia, Woodlawn, Fair
view, Gresham and Rockwood granges
attended the meeting and signed the
report, after which they marched to' the
Courthouse and presented it to the
County Commissioners in a body.
M. Roy Thompson, assistant highway
engineer of Washington, was at the
meeting by invitation of tho sub-committee.
He spoke briefly in favor of
concrete roads.
The recommendations follow:
"We respectfully recommend that
each and every road under this bond
Issue of Multnomah County be paved
with a concrete pavement, because of
the following facts that we believe to
be true:
"1. Concrete is the safest, easiest
riding and offers least resistance to
traction of any type of pavement avail
able today, and is serviceable 365 days
in the year.
"2. Concrete, properly constructed,
has the least maintenance and least
ultimate cost of any type of pavement.
"3. We further recommend that the
County Commissioners employ a capa
ble, experienced and disinterested engi
neer to have, charge of inspection and
construction of these proposed concrete
roads.
"We further respectfully suggest that
this engineer be one who has success
fully built concrete roads in other com
munities." Members of the Multnomah Commer
cial Club, of Multnomah, in a communi
cation to the Commissioners, "declared
for Warrenite pavement on the Slavln
road.

STOPS FALLING HAIR
This Home-Made MirturesStops Dan
druff and Falling Hair and
.'Aids Its Growth.
To a half pint of water add:
Bay Rum. i 1 os.
Barbo Compound a small box
Glycerine 14 oz.
These are all simple Ingredients that
you carw buy from any druggist at very
little cost, and mix them yourself. Ap
ply to the scalp once a day for two
weeks, then once every other week
until all the mixture is used. A halt
pint should be enough to rid the head
of dandruff and kill the dandruff germs.
It stops the hair from falling out, and
relieves itching and scalp diseases.
Although it is not a dye, it acts
upon the hair roots and will darken'
streaked, faded, gray hair in 10 or 15
days. It promotes tho growth of the
hair and makes harsh hair soft and
flossy.- Adv.
exuberant haste to rejoin his comrades
In celebration of a doublo victory at
the Hazelwood that night.
As coincidence would have it, Judge
Stevenson was one of the debate Judges
that awarded victory to the Lincoln
colors.
Young Hoffman, with Ralph C. Hoe
ber, Klmer Bankus and Ralph Holz
man (alternate), was on the team that
supported the negat've of the question,
"Resolved. That a minimum wage law
for men should be adopted' by the State
of Oregon, constitutionality conceded,"
at the university. At the same hour
two teams were facing each other in
debate on the same subject at Lincoln
High School, the Lincoln students ad
vocating the affirmative in the latter
case.
No sooner were tho debates conclud
ed, with victory perching on the colors
of both Lincoln teams, than a monster
celebration of the event was planned
by tho Lincoln students at the Hazel
wood. With cheers and school songs,
the young folk surged toward tho re
freshment parlor.
In the meantime, Arthur Hoffman
had left tho festive ones to take some
friends home in his automobile.-
No sooner was this done than he has
tened back to town from the East Side.
Crossing tho Burnside bridge he made
55 miles an hour. Behind him was
Special Officer King, timing his speed.
He was placed under arrest and taken
to police headquarters, where ho was
booked to appear the following morn-ins-.
He then Joined his fellow stu
dents' merriment. '
"Why, the machine won't go 35 miles
an hour," maintained Hoffman in Mu
nicipal Court. But in spite of the plead
ings of the young man and Attorney
Isaac Swett, Judge Stevenson found
him guilty and levied a fine at tho
unpopular "one-dollar-a-mile" scale.
Judge Stevenson had not heard tho
silvery oration of Hoffman, for the
the board of Judges upon which ho
appeared was at the Lincoln School.
