One who Is ever watchful of our needs, and the first to assist when mis fortune overtakes us; "A man whose generous deeds are boundless, whose sympathy is sincere, whose justness is never questioned, whose every act is in thoughtful con sideration for the well being of his fel low man.

Tate Explains Importance of Work That Is Being Done by Commission Protection Against Deformity Sought. BY MRS. ROBERT II. TATE. President Oregon Child Welfare Com- "mission. The five members of the Oregon Child Welfare Commission are actively engaged completing plans for a travel ing exhibit which will be sent from Portland April 27 into 50 cities before the Legislature of 1917 meets. It will be sent to the State Fair in September. The question has been asked. "How does the work of the Child Welfare Commission differ from other child welfare activities?" The- purpose of such a commission is chiefly to make a survey of the educational, moral and physical conditions affecting, children throughout the state, with a view to ward remedying existing evils and giv ing each boy and girl an equal oppor tunity for complete development. The commission is honorary, its members being appointed by the .Gov ernor who is an ex-officio member. As the results desired are obtained or are to be obtained through education and legislation, the commission might well serve as a clearing-house for or ganizations that deal with child prob lems. " Services Are Gratuitous. The services of its members are given gratuitously, as not a dollar from the State Treasury has been used for this work, not even to defray any expenses. '"The biennial- report to the Governor was of course printed by the state. Only a few copies of this re port remain on file with the State Li brarian, who has had almost daily re quests for it, not only from Oregon, but every part of the country. During the first two years a partial survey was made upon the following phases: Educational and recreational, industrial, physical health and moral development, vaudeville and moving picture shows, birth registration, med ical inspection in rural and city schools, backward and dependent children, children illegitimately born, also insti tutional care of the deaf, blind, delin quent and feeble-minded children. The first report sent to the Governor and Legislature embodied 11 special recom mendations, which the commission hoped would be adopted. Only two-of these recommendations were enacted Into laws, namely: The one known as the "model law" on birth registration and the other on protection against infant blindness caused "by the pre ventable disease known as opthalmia neonatorium.- One reason for the failure of the other recommendations being adopted was the lack of knowledge by the pub lic upon questions pertaining to the highest welfare of children. It was this condition that led the members of the commission to see that enlightenment must be given through some channel If the desired legislation was to be ob tained. With this end in mind and with the assistance of an expert from the Federal Children's Bureau, at Washington, D. C, a traveling exhibit has been planned. Exhibit Being Prepared. This .exhibit is being prepared with a dominant note of prevention. It will consist of folding panels or screens about two and one-half by five feet, three in a unit, each unit containing a graphic story depicting the special neds of our state, as follows: First A hospital for the sick and crippled children where the latter may have expert treatment, as well as ed ucational advantages, along lines of industrial training to make them self supporting if possible. A dietetic ward or cottage for sick babies. Second A department of child-placing, under state control, that will pro cure private homes for normal depen dent children, with sufficient appro priation to carry on the work of proper supervision through field workers. This same department to have super vision of maternity hospitals, baby farms and boarding homes. Segrega tion of dependent from delinquent chil dren. Delinquency and its causes. Third A child hygiene division in connection with the State Board of Health. Object, organization and su pervision of infant welfare work; to send out Infant welfare exhibits, to disseminate printed matter, giving in struction to parents along lines of pre vention of disease, as well as preven tion of deafness and blindness, also to provide for medical inspection in rural schools. Fourth Standard plan for rural schools, as prepared by the State Su perintendent of Public Instruction. Eight months compulsory school laws in every district. Increased normal school facilities. Fifth Problems of children illegiti mately born: Recommending a law re quiring fathers to support and educate their children until the age of major ity instead of such provision being made by the taxpayers: also granting the right of inheritance. State Institutions Considered. Sixth State institutions, their value and further needs: School for the Deaf Extension de partment, through which all deaf or semi-deaf children may be reached and to give aid to those leaving the school: wherever feasible day schools opened, where only oral speech is taught, giv ing children who are normal in every other way the advantage of home en vironment and parent love: also edu cation for parents along lines of right handling of their deaf children and of mitigating or preventing deafness. State scholarship to either the O. A. C. or university. Seventh School for the Blind: Pro vision for more industrial work, so each inmate may be well fitted for self support upon leaving the school. A department for assisting the adult blind, through-, equipment for broom making, rug weaving or other branch of manufacture that will enable them to become self-supporting, the state finding a market for their products. State scholarships for students fin ishing course at ihe school to the State University. Eighth School for the Feeble Minded: A commitment law. Steriliza tion for all granted leave of absence over 12 years of age. Segregation of high-grade feeble-minded from idiots. Hospital facilities. A separate cottage for epileptics. Extension department for field work. Ninth Girls' Industrial School: The practical activities emphasized for building moral character. The impor tance of the state giving the best pro tection to delinquent girls and permit ting them an opportunity to live right. Segregation Is Problem. Tenth Boys' Training School: Seg regation of the younger delinquent boys from the older and all dependent boys removed. More vocational train ing under teachers who nave special ized. A system of physical education is indispensable for boys who specially require training in self-control, so it is recommended that the empty gymna sium be equipped and a qualified phy sical instructor be provided. For pre ventive work, a State Juvenile Proba tion Commission, that will- supervise field work for all delinquents. Eleventh Public kindergartens: Their value and needs will be shown through a set of stereoptlcon slides. Oregon stands next to the bottom of the list of states in kindergarten work and has approximately 33,500 children between 4 and 6 years of age now de prived of this splendid system of edu cation. Twelfth The Oregon Child Welfare Commission: Legislation looking to ward protection from existing evils for the boys and girls of the 'state, as well as for their highest development. Itinerary Is Arranged. A complete itinerary has been ar ranged for transporting the exhibit to 50 cities after being shown for one week in Portland. The Commercial Clubs. School Boards. Women's Clubs, Parent-Teacher Associations and Wom an's Christian Ternjerance Union will co-operate with the Child Welfare Commission in their respective locall ties. One or an other of these organiza tions will foster the exhibit in a given city, which city is also invited to add any local features it desires, bearing upon the Child Welfare Work, or bringing before the community spe cific needs for the protection of their boys and . girls. The University of Oregon and the Oregon Agricultural College will give lectures in connec tion with the exhibit through their re spective extension departments. The superintendents of the several state schools will also lecture wherever possible. , Governor Withycombe is heartily co- PROSPECTIVE CLAIMANTS FOR ' Left to Right F. E. 'W -,1.

State Board of Education, State Board of Health, State Federation of Women's Clubs, Oregon Congress of Mothers, State Women's Christian Temperance Union, as well as other bodfes and many individuals v Importance Is Realized. The various organizations, boards and institutions have long discerned the Importance of educating citizens to see that only through preventive meas ures can we hope to stem the tide of evil now existing and which confronts thousands of children In our common wealth today. They realize that thou sands and tens of thousands of dollars are being used of the taxpayers' money for cure and almost nothing on the foundation work prevention. Therefore, each of these bodies will share in the expense of the particular unit." cover ing the special phase it has been in terested 4ri. . a.11 workers and lecturers are giving their service voluntarily. The incidental expenses of this exhibit will be met from the fund acquired from the benefit given at the Heilig Theater a year ago. Tho . members .of the legislature in times past have devoted themselves to the consideration of questions per taining, almost exclusively, to the de velopment of the state's material re sources. Fidelity to the consideration of such questions has left no time for needed legislation in favor of - the state's most valuable asset, its - chil dren. The Oregon Child Welfare Com-, mission would urge that all citizens vote only - for such candidates for members of- the legislature, who will openly pledge themselves to give first place to questions pertaininf to the highest welfare and protection of boys and girls. With the co-operation of men ' and women in every county, such results may be hoped for at the next legislative assembly as will mean marked progress in the way of protection for our chil dren. The members of the commission are: President, Mrs. Robert H. Tate; secretary, Mae H. Cardwell. M. D. ; Mrs. E. Clyde Apperson, McMinnvllle; George Rebec. Ph.D., Eugeap; L. R. Alderman, Portland. FLINN MEMORIAL PLANNED Proposal Is to Send Out Missionary In Honor of Noted Minister. Permanent organization of the Rev. John Flinn Memorial Society will be effected this morning at the Centenary Methodist Church, where memorial services will be held in- memory of this pioneer Methodist preacher who died a year ago. This is the 99th anniversary of his birth. Officers will be elected and committees appointed. All will be eligible to membership who will pay annually into the memorial fund 99 cents. When this fund is large enough it will be used to send a missionary to some foreign field and will be known as the Rev. John Flinn memorial mis sion. , Humane Officer Arrests Two. Walter Coff, teamster, and C. T. Mc Gilvra, manager of a woodyard, were arrested by Humane Officer Louis Pitts at noon yesterday. They are charged with cruelty to animals, the alleged in stance being the beating of a horse with a heavy steel spanner-bar, used In unloading wood. They were released on $10 bail.

Strong, set aside for the use of the land claimants two rooms, one for women and one for men, where they may lie on the floor and sleep through the night. Those in line leave their places after the doors of the building are locked at night, a watchman guarding their In terests, and they seek rest until the morrow calls them back to their posts. The doors of the land office will open to receive filings 'on 15,W0 acres in 14 townships of the SIletK Indian Reservation next Saturday rooming at 9 o'clock. This land was withdrawn from settlement in 1910 and only re cently has it been ordered restored to entry. Good Claims Number 60 to 70. There are fewer than 100 claims to be taken under the homestead act. - Of this number some are said to be not worth filing upon, and there are prob ably 60 or 70 good claims. Yesterday there were 31 in line waiting for the office to opens and receive their appli cations. Squatters who have settled upon, the lands about to be thrown open for settlement, and there are said to be many in the Siletz country who have gone ahead without title and improved the lands, expecting to secure title when the tract was opened for settle ment, are likely to be disappointed, for there are few squatters in line as yet. Unless they awake to the situa tion, they are apt to arrive too late to file on their homesteads, which will be taken by others.

Vacant chairs are respected by the others in the line, so that should some Interloper- try. to edge in, he would be ousted by the others., A system of self-government, a pure democracy by mutual agreement, has been accom plished among the waiting land claim ants. It Is probable this will be de veloped further during the days of waiting yet remaining. A sentry and watchman may be named to safeguard the interests of the land seekers, for should a rush be made at the last minute, the Land Office officials'would presumably be compelled to accept the application of the first person at the counter. It is likely, however, that numbers will be given out to ,the members of the waiting line by the Land Office officials before it is broken up. Two young women are waiting in line who are holding the places .fcfr their husbands. The latter went downJ to ine sueiz country some days ago to look over the land. While they were away the line started "to form before the Land Office door. , ' Some Act for Others.. "We thought it "was time to get busy." the young wives said, "and we came down to hold places for our, has-, bands. , A white-haired woman is .doing a similar service for her husband, who is down in the Siletz forests looking over the lands about to be parceled out by the Government. One man and his wife, who are hold ing places in the line, are doing a thor oughly unselUsh thing. They say they are not waiting to file for themselves, but are holding places for two young men who are neighbors in the Monta villa district. The two men are now in Siletz looking over the land. When they return to the city they will find places held for them In the line of applicants for homesteads. "We have such good neighbors," the woman explained, iri giving the reason for the action of her husband and her self in sitting through tedious hours In the line.

Two blind men, C. J. Johnson and William Beerrs, tapping their way along- the pavement, walked Into an open trapdoor before 2934 Stark street yesterday morning. They plunged to the basement below and were severely injured. v Jacob Schissler. a garbage hauler, had entered the basement to remove ashes. He was arrested by Patrolmen Nutter, Gouldstone, Russell and Crane, who investigated. The bandaged vic tims and the garbage men appeared in Municipal Court yesterday. Mr. Johnson had an ugly gash on the cheek-and his right hand waswinjured. He told the court that he and his companion were on their way to the Oregon City car at Second and Alder, where they were to appear in that city as, chair-caning demonstrators for the. Btisch Furniture Company.' "I was feeling my way with the cane," said Mr. Johnson, "and we knew Just where wo were. We did not find the open door. Then I fell into it." One of the Iwo doors was closed, and it was probably due to this fact that the accident happened, as the sightless men were reassured by the fact. Schissler had testified that he opened both, and that one probably had fallen down. The rrap was unguarded by rods or chains. The law requires that the doors be closed when not in use. - . A fine of $20 was Imposed by Judge Langguth. who also held that the own er of. the building was partially re sponsible. In imperfect speech. Schissler told N. B. Beutgsn. clerk of the Municipal Co'jrt. that he could not pay the fine. He used a red handkerchief freely to wipe away his tears. He was given until the end of the month to pay his fine. ZEP. RAID IS RELATED BROTHER OF REV. A. BATES, OF WARRENTOX, IS IX ENGLAND. Lack: of Oppression In Town In Dark ' ness and Threatened Front Air Described In Letter. Rev. Alfred Bates, pastor of the Warrenton, Or., Methodist Episcopal Church, has received a letter from his brother, Wilfred, who recently went to Bristol, England, from Hoquiam, Wash., in which he says; "Since writing last we have been visited by the Zeppelins. In the larger cities as well as In the smaller towns the lighting restrictions are very rigid. All lights must be shaded and all vehicles from a motor omnibus to a baby buggy must carry a rear red light. Motorists are warned to drive cautiously because of the darkness. "Yesterday seven men were arrested for driving at an excessive speed, and at the same time a young man was ar rested for not having his rear lamp lighted on his bicycle. "'it seems to me that the policemen on point duty at night should wear white gloves. This would be a great advantage to motorists and drivers of vehicles generally. It sometimes hap pens that at the crossroads a police man's warning hand in a dark woolen glove Is hardly visible, whereas a white glove could be more plainly seen. Notices are posted everywhere giving Instructions In the event of an air raid. Amid the darkness, there is perfect order and the absence of de pression. Thousands of men may be seen wearing the King's armlet, signi fying that the wearer has enlisted in the army or -the navy. The wounded soldiers and sailors (there are few of the latter) are well cared for." RAIN EXCESS 8.75 INCHES Total for March to Date 8.7 9 Inclitfs and Record 12.76. Such rainy days as yesterday were responsible for our having on hand 8.75 inches more rain than we are en titled to. If it keeps on pouring down for an other week there is a good prospect that March, 1916. may approximate the record of March, 1873. when 12.76 inches fell in the one month. Up to 5 o'clock last night we had recorded at the local Weather Bureau 8.79 inches, and the heavens were still going strong.
