The Consumers' League has planned the gathering to arouse public interest in the question of wrapping bread. Housewives, grocers, bakers, restau rant men and members of the league will assemble "to talk it over." The question will be considered from very point of view. Dr. Calvin S. White will speak Irom the point of health and sanitation. The Mayor and Commissioners have been invited to attend. Shall bread, be wrapped at the bak ery, or shall it not? This will be the question that will probably be an swered on this occasion. An ordinance requiring the wrapping of bread and an amendment, proposed, providing for the awarding of labels to clean bak eries, will be among the subjects. Every member of the leaeue, baker, grocer or anyone else interested will be welcome. Mrs. W. F. Ogburn is president of the Consumers' League. Mrs. A. E. Hockey Is chairman of the committee on baker; Inspection. Publicity was the subject of discus sion at the regular meeting of the State Woman's Press Club Wednesday night. The president, Mrs. Martha Pull man French, presided at the prelimi nary meeting and later Mrs. Bertha Taylor Voorhoret took the chair as chairman of the- programme. Mark Woodruff, publicity manager of the Chamber of Commerce, was the first speaker and gave the press women a etraight-from-the-shoulder talk upon practical publicity. Miss Alice Joyce followed Mr. Wood ruff and gave an interesting discus sion upon "Publicity from an Imper sonal Standpoint." Miss Joyce was ad mitted as a new member of the club. Miss Helen 8. Gray, who has recently returned to Portland from New Tork and California, told of "the authors' clubs she visited while there and of her impressions of California. She spoke of hearing Nicholas Vachel Lindsay recite his poem, "The Chinese Nightingale," at a meeting of the Socialist Press Club In New York, and said no one else could have chanted it as did the author of it. In Los Angeles at a dinner of the Southern California Women's Press Club she met several lovely women, notably Grace Duffy Boylan, Mrs. Ber tha Lincoln Huestis. and Aliss Jennie Van Allen. Mrs. Boylan not only writes poems and novels, but recites from her works. Mrs. Huestis is president of the League of American Pen Women. The charm of the address she gave that night lay not in what she said, but in the sunny good will and good nature that radiated from her. Miss Gray was much surprised to find that many Californians undertake to heat five and six-room bungalows with a stove "the size of a pepper box" with the temperature on Winter morn ings frequently 41 degrees or there abouts. Many people oppose prepar ing for war on the grounds that. we get what we prepare for. On the same principle many California women make little or no preparation for rain and cold and never buy rubbers, but wear slippers all the year round. When it rains, they stay indoors. She was surprised to find that in San Francisco hotels furnish steam heat all Summer, that the average temperature there is 51 degrees In Winter and 53 degrees In Summer.

At the Parents' Educational Bureau on Friday Miss Emma Grittenger. of the Visiting Nurse Association, spoke on "The Physical Development of a Child." Miss Grittenger said that her talk was based on the development of the normal or average child. In the average child, she said, the birth weight does not vary and in gen eral weight is the best measure of growth, a child doubling its weight at six months and at 12 months it usual ly weighs thre times its birth weight. "A young child never should have its eyes exposed to direct strong light and all babies should be kept as quiet as possible. The more a child is let alone the more normal will be its develop ment, both physically and mentally. "Normally a child should try to walk at one year and teeth usually appear at the sixth or eighth month, but often they are much later and yet are quite normal." Miss Grittenger warned all mothers against the long tube nursing bottle and especially called attention to the filthy "pacifier," saying that it impairs digestion, causes adenoids and tooth deformities and in the State of Idaho they are considered so dangerous to babies' health that it is against the law to sell them. The child should increase about eight inches in height the first year, with growth in height greatest from April to August. The remainder of the year the child increases in weight. The talk in general was full of com mon sense and good suggestions and many mothers remained to talk with the speaker after the lecture.
