the best things that are to be ob

from their fellow craftsmen and have
placed themselves in tfie front ranks
as the brainiest, busiest and best of all

publicity chairman for the Chamber of
Commerce, and Georsre Hardy, "our

The Tuesday Afternoon Club's annual
lecture, held last Monday at the East
Side Library, was one of the very pleas
ant events of the year. Over 200 guests
were present.
The auditorium was attractively dec
orated with 'long branches of dogwood
and vine ma pie and also large May
baskets of Scotch broom and yellow
daisies. A flight of blue birds on the
wall back of the rostrum was a unique
and charming feature.
The president of the club. Mrs. G. I.
Ftahl, presided. A musiral programme !
preceded the lecture. The two violin
olos by Vern Isom, accompanied by
Glenn Shelley, were remarkable for
their verve and smoothness of execu
tion. Delightful also were the two
vocal solos by Miss Madeline Stone,
Mrs. Henry Berger, Jr., at the piano.
The lecture on Russian literature by
Mrs. "label Holmes Parsons, professor
of English in the University of Oregon,
was the principal number of the after
noon. She commented on the remark
able maturity of Russian literature,
which is but fairly a product of the
19th century.
She spoke of its wonderful art. par
ticularly as embodied In the works of
the master, Turgenev, who. she said,
was considered by many critics to be
the greatest novelist, not only of the
19th century, but of all time. Speaking
of the seriousness of Russian literature,
she referred particularly to the works
of Turgenev, Tolstoi, Doestoievsky and
Andreev.
"It seemed wonderful," she said, "that
Russia, which we have considered the
most hopeless in point of civilization
should have struck the highest note of
hopefulness for the future."
She referred to two notable quail
ties of Russian genius, their sympathy
and pity for mankind, even the most
degraded. She spoke also of the idealism
back of Russian realism. These men
wrote, she said, not for their own ad
vancement nor for the glory of Russia,
but for humanity for all people and
in this quality of universal appeal she
considered that Russian literature is
supreme among the literatures of t
oast centurv.
At the conclusion of the programme
refreshments were served, the Misses
Maurlne Laber, Pauline Alderman, Ade
laide Morey, Hilda Cliff and Marjorie
McCollom assisting.

JLX. At a recent meeting- of the Hood
River Woman's' Club Mrs. James W.
Ingalls, a sister of Frederic Homer
Balch, author of "The Bridge of the
Gods" and a charter member of the or
ganisation, read a paper on the his
tory of the club, which, on October 9
of this year, will celebrate Its ninth
birthday anniversary.
The club has been prominent in the
circles of the State Federation of
Woman's Clubs, Mrs. H. F. Davidson, a
past president of the local organization,
having been corresponding secretary of
the federation, and at the present time
Mrs. C. H. Castner, of the local club.
is executive bead of the state federa
tion. Mrs. Castner was formerly chair
man of the civic committee of the state
federation and in charge of the first
Oregon "Clean-up" day.
"it is tne unanimous verdict," says
Mrs. Ingalls in her history, "that the
honor of being the real mother and
originator of the Hood River Woman's
Club belongs to Mrs. A. W. Noble, The
original constitution was prepared at
the home of Mrs. F. W. Radford, wife
of an East Side orchardist. Originally
it was the purpose of the organization
to limit its membership to 18.
"The first public meeting was held
on March 5. 1908. By this time the
membership list had been extended to
a limit of 52, but it was even then ap
parent that we would have to broaden
our views. Today the club has a mem
bership of 220.
"The first president of the club was
Mrs. E. E. Goff, now a resident of New-
berg, and it was at her suggestion that
we became affiliated with the Oregon
federation. Other officers for the first
year were! Mrs. F. H. Button, first
vice-president; Mrs. J. F. Batchelder,
second vice-president: Mrs. H. S. Rich
mond. recording secretary; Mrs. T. J.
Cunning, financial secretary, and Mrs.
G. R. Castner, treasurer. Mrs. Button
and Mrs. Batchelder are the only rig
inal officers now residing in Hood
River.
The club began its civic activities in
March, 1909, appointing a committee to
conduct & clean-up of the local ceme
teries and to confer with the Mayor
of the city as to a general clean-up of
the city. The Woman's Club was in
strumental In. securing a public library
for Hood River, beginning agitation in
1908 that resulted in a Carnegie appro
priation of $17,500 in 1913.
"The first delegates chosen to attend
a convention of the state federation
were: The late Mrs. A. A. Jayne, Mrs.
W. F. La raw ay and Mrs. H. F. David
son. During the Winter of 1908 and
1909 the club did its first Red Cross
work. In March. 1909, the late Mrs.
E. L. Smith was chosen as a club host
ess at the Alaska-Tukon Exposition in
Seattle. On February 2, 1909.. the or
ganization affiliated, with the National
federation. Mrs. C. H. Castner will at
tend the convention of the National or
ganization this year in New York.
In March of 1909 the Woman's Club
participated in an old-fashioned spell
ing bee with the members of the Hood
River Commercial Club coming off with
honors.
During the fifth year of the club a
custom of entertaining the husbands of
the members was inaugurated. It has
been observed each, year since. -
A red-letter event occurred In Octo
ber, 1913. when the state federation
met here.
The organization now has two auxil
iary departments the Girls' Club, com
posed of business women of the city.
and the music department, which ac
cepts men interested in music, as mem
bers.

THE" annual meeting of the Visiting
Nurse Association was held, last
Tuesday, when Mrs. Robert Dieck was ;
unanimously re-elected president. The
reports, especially that of Miss Grit
tinger, the head nurse, showed that a
vast amount of work had been ac
complished. The work of the tubercu
losis department is growing rapidly.
Mrs. Dieck expressed her thanks for
all who had in any way helped in the
good work. To the nurses Mrs. Eieck
expressed her sincere appreciation for
their conscientious co-operation.
Following are extracts from Mrs.
Dieck's report:
The reports tell the story of work ac
complished during a season of financial de
pression a Winter that was ieperately
hard, for those out of work who also had
sickness added U- the burden. The calls for
nursing service were proportionately heavy,
and the source of our pride Is that no call
has been refused and no patient neglected,
even when work mas heaviest. At the same
time, we have managed to live within our
Income.
Aside from the Valentine Tea, the slngl
occasion on which we appeared before the
public for funds, our support has been de
rived from subscriptions of members, who
number at present TOO. Our desire is to in
crease that List rather than to depend upon
suras raised by public entertainments. To
Insure the support and growth of a work
like tnis, we need a steady Income from
membership dues, and more than anything
else, we need the interest of cltlzeas. Knowl
edge of the need and relief given through
visiting nursing will surely bring adequate
support.
Through the City of Portland, which pays
the salary of one tuberculosis nurse under
our direction, and through the Oregon
Lea rue for the Prevention of Tuberculosis.
which has also employed a nurse to do locaj
work under us, the proper rare of the tuber
culous Is assured. The city is at present
making a survey of tuberculosis In Port
land, and the state league plans to make a
similar survey of conditions throughout the
state, which is the first step toward the
control of the disease.
We have on record for 1015 a total of 803
visits and 1734 patients. A peculiar problem
in systematizing the work In Portland
comes from the tact that the city Is spread
over audi a large area and that therefore a
large part of the nurses' time is necessarily
spent In getting from place to place. This
difficulty has been Increased by the Incor
poration of Linnton end St. Johns, which
added 11 or 12 square miles. The good ac
complished cannot be measured, however, by
totals of visits made, or patients treated.
A visiting nurse must be not only adviser
In tegard to material problems, but con
fessoi as to moral oocs.
It Is a splendid thing to be responsible,
even in a small way. for an organization
whlrh Is doing a work that has proved Itself
needful to our generation. It Is also dis
coursing and wearisome to b obliKed-.con-stantly
to devise methods for obtaining
money. That, of course. Is the side the
Board Is bound to contemplate, and we
would hasten that happy day when some
kindly person will show his understanding of
the need and confidence In our administra
tion by endowing a nurse, or by choosing
this work as a memorial of continuing use
fulntfp for a useful life, ended.
At a time when the question of support
seems sll vf all. one has only to come In
direct contact with results to acquire fresh
Interest I wish that every member of this
Association could visit as I have with Indi
vidual nurses, and could see the comfort car
ried into bomt-s made desolate by sickness
and want. With that experience the mem
ber of the Board will surely feel that every
effort to alleviate unfortunate conditions Is
a privilege, and, undismayea, win iook for
ward to larger things for the Portland
Visiting Nurse Association.
was spared to make this the model home of
the eve. hut hi. Ues of how young women
should live, and their ideas of how they
wanted to live did not acrec. So the crowds
thttt filled the building at the op-nin .

young women wnt tack to their stuffy ha'.l

The metropolitan board of the Young

Leagne to interview them. She devoted elftht
months to the investigation, ta.king with
wane earners in all of Liie varied Industries,

young women wanted a "home," got a fur-nlshe-l

where the gir!s coulj hive Independence and
