women and promising girls from all
parts of the country. The Coronado
Hotel had bien converted Into a bril
liant arena for the social sparring, and
a specially built stage within the ho
tel made It possible for the brilliant
costumes to be exploited to best advan
tage.
The ball was of particular interest to
Portland because It brought about the
nuptiaj plana of Mine Kussell and H. H.
Puden, wealthy retired attorney of New
York. Miss Kussell was one of the
most popular bellea In Portland, and
her band was much sought.

French Writer Pleads for Equal
Wage (or Factory Workers.
PARIS. France, Feb. 10. UrbaJn
Cohlcr, In La Journal, pleads for equal
wages for men and women who are
workers In France In war time. He
I comments on the proposed law before
the government by which young sol
Idlers employed In offices are to be xe
placed by women. It this should go
Into effect the young men sent to th
Iront would replace an army of terrl
I torlals who would be liberated to work
In the nelda and shops.
If one consequence of the war," M.
(Gohlcr writes, "should be the definite
I enforcement of the reasonable method
securing the sedentary work for the
women and driving the men Into active
life, that would be a great gain for
the France of tomorrow. But on condi
tlon that in payment for the work
there will be the senie equity and logic
as in the distribution, if a woman
I accomplishes as much work as a man
she should receive as much compensa
tlon.
"We have heard of a large number
of caaea where women receive reduced
wages simply because they have the
misfortune to be women. In a certain
I factory where surgical instruments are
I made experienced workwomen get SVi
franca for exactly the same work for
which men receive 7 franca. In a plant
I In the neighborhood, for the same ma-
I chine work, which necessltatea stand
ing up the entire night. 10 francs are
paid to men and 4 to women. In the
I suburban tramways men receive S
franca and women 3. In two automo
bile factories, which are now manu
facturing shells, mothers of families
receive & franca for the same work for
which young men get from 13 to 13
franca. Another factory pays 3 francs
to women and from 7 to 8 franca to
men for the same work.

SATURDAY. March 18. 1916, will be a
red letter day for San Diego and
the Southwest. This is the date
Just decided upon for the formal dedi
cation of the big 191 exhibition.
All the best features of the 1915 ex
position remain, and in addition to
these have been added the exhibits of
16 nations, and scores of commercial
exhibits which have caused an overflow
net cannot be accommodated even with
the construction of new buildings. The
Increase in scope has caused the new
board of directors to make .the name
of the 191 enterprise the Panama-
California International Exposition.
Canada has brought her entire ex
hibit from SAn Francisco and it is being
nstailed in tbe Commerce and Indus
tries building, which title has been
changed to the "Canadian Building."
The wonderful displays of France and
Italy are now in place on the exposi
tion grounds.
The United States Government dls-
lay, using more than 17,000 square
feet of exhibit space, requires three
utllns to hou?e it, one of which is
elng built especially for the aquarium
display.
Other Nations Participate.
Other nations participating on a large
scale are Russia. The Netherlands.
Switzerland. Spain. Portugal. Germany,
Austria, Brazil, Pan-Pacific countries,
Japan. Persia and India.
With the addition of strong foreign
participation, the one apparent weak
ness of the 1915 exposition has been
remedied. No visitor of the 2,500.000
who passed through the gates even
hinted that the exposition grounds and
buildings were not beautiful in fact
more attractive than imagination could
have pictured them.
There was no complaint that there
was not sufficient instruction and en
tertainment; and even in the one phase
of international participation the expo
sition had made no promises. But with
1916 the defect has been 'remedied, and
the word "International" goes into the
line or tne enterprise.
One of the most successful features
of last year's exposition was the model
farm where every phase of farmine-
activity was given consideration. It
was a ten-acre tract with buildings,
truck garden, orange, lemon and grape
fruit grove, poultry and stock. It Is
needless to say that the condition of
crops, stock and all details will be bet
ter than last year.
Fan Isthmus to Open March 4.
The Isthmus which housed the amuse
ments features will be better than the
past year, and the half-mile of paved
street will be the home of many of
the best attractions from the San Fran
cisco exposition as well as amusements
new to all expositions. The formal
opening of the new Isthmus will be
held Saturday, March 4.
As a recognition of leap year, and
possibly the first exposition ever held
in leap year, the exposition directors
have christened one ,of the beautiful
courts as "The Court of Leap Tear."
In this enclosure, enhanced bv foun
tains, cosy corners, cupids and a wealth
of flowers, young women visitors to
the exposition will hold sway.
All dances here will be lean-year
dances, all music will be that to ap
peal to a feminine fancy, and in this
bower "Newlyweds"' and "Honeymoon
ers" will receive suitable greetings.
. President Davidson Retained.
President G. A. Davidson, who was
president of the 1915 exposition, and
who was one of the. strongest factors
in bringing about a surplus above the
operating expenses, 'is at the head of
the new organization "for 1316. Presi
dent Davidson is actively in charge and
devotes his time to exposition activi
ties without any compensation.
Music will be one of the big .features .
of the special events plan for the year
and the officials announce that more
bands will be employed on the exposi
tion grounds than at any period during
the San Francisco exposition. Two Gov
ernment hands now give ily concerts
and at least three more have been
promised in addition to the musical or
ganizations contracted for by the ex
position. The largest outdoor organ in
the world, the gift of John D. and A.
B. Spreckles. gives daily concerts, rain
or shine, and Dr. H. J. Stewart Is prov
ing' as popular with the organ audi
ences of the new year as in the 12
months just passed.
While new exhibits are being placed
and Isthmus attractions are organizing
to please the tickle fancy of the public,1
the usual admission charge has been
reduced one-half.
Call on a Neighbor.
Baltimore Sun.
An old Scotewoman. who, at con-siderable-'personal
inconvenience, had
gone a good way to visit a friend who
was ill, learned on her arrival that the
alarming symptoms had subsided.
"An" hoo are ye the day, Mrs. Craw
fard?" she inquired in breathless anx
iety. "Oh, I" nearly well noo, thank ye.
Mrs. Graham."
"Nearly well!" exclaimed the breath
ess visitor. "After me comin' sae far
to see ye, too!"
