SIEBERTS. AN Interesting trip over the snow to Mount Hood to enjoy skiing on the lower stretches of the moun tain pn New Year's day, brought Into existence last week a new organization of lovers of out-door life and Winter Bports the Mazama Ski Club. Ed Peterson, Guy Thatcher, Charles Merton and Conrad Sieberts left on the trip, December 29. Billy Cramer left .Portland on the previous day and made the entire trip on foot. I AVe were met at Bull Run by our kind friend. Otto Ashoff, who took us in his machine as far as he could make any headway, but had to give it up within a mile of Tollgate, on account of the deep snow. We put on our snow-shoes and amid yells of farewell to Otto started on our climb for Government Camp, arriving by the Iltrht of the moon at midnight. The trip will long be remembered by all In the party as one of the most beau tiful and enjoyable trips ever taken as the night was clear as crvstal and the moon and ptars seemed close enough to touch. We gave a jovful yell when from the top of the last hill the lights of the hotel could be seen. The hospitable managers. Fridmore & Fox, met us with open arms and welcomed us to a good red-hot fire and a table set with all honors due a king. Mrs. Pridmore and Mrs. Fox were ready to serve the steaming hot dishes of good eats to be put out of sight by the six hungry mountain climbers. After the good meal we all put up for the much-needed rest, but could not sleep long for the fever of skiing had already gotten into our bones, and we were up again bright and early. The morning was spent In small ski runs to get us in shape once more. In the afternoon our guide, Mr. Pridmore, took us to a steeper and longer run and by night we had revived all our old tricks and a lot of new ones. The next day was spent exploring the HUs and our guide with his usual wit kept us amused at all times, never go ing over tne same run twice as he would say we must have a new hill with more snap. Plans had been made to climb Mount VHood and set off "red fire." but owing to the condition of the snow the ascent was not made, we spent the last even Jng of the old year with musio and games. Justice was done to the lunch served at midnight by our hostess. Greetings for the New Year wer -r tended by phone to the Mazamas who were having an outlnsr at Ashoffs.

BY GETTA R. W ASS E RM AN. NEW YORK, Jan. 7. (Special.) New York, or rather the restau rant and hotel men of New York, found a way of getting around the fact that New Year's eve came on a Sunday by celebrating for three days Instead of one. At almost all of thai hotels and eating places suppers and entertainment of various sorts were provided on Saturday and Sunday even ings, with the big welcome to 1917 on Monday the- second. Of course the epirlt was not quite the same, but In this city of constant excitement any and everything is an excuse for a cel ebration, and far be it from the res taurateurs to forego the rich harvest which the first of the year annually brings to them. For some reason or other, probably as an aftermath of the intense rush and excitement of the Christmas shop ping and festivities. It is getting to be more and more the fashion to leave town over New Year's, and this year. more than ever before, whole families have migrated, either to their country places or to the myriads of hotels, all within easy striking distance of New York, which cater largely to the Win ter traveler. It has been Impossible for weeks past to secure hotel accommodations at any of the leading hotels of Atlantic City, Lakewood', the Berkihlre3 or a 4?v 1 In Government Camp. 2 -Skiing at ' Background. 3 Conrad J. Slebertfi, W hich Organised the New Club. Camp Hotel a. cosmopolitan reception hall, made us cosy with a hot fire of fir logs; and erstwhile the hospitable man agers of this Mount Hood hostelry had anticipated our annual visit by deco rating this memorable reception hall with Alaska cedar, larch and fir trees seven real trees Imported direct from their balsam-laden groves and sur rounded with such typical scenes the six stalwart men who braved the Christmas week blizzard of 1916 and the snow packed trail, and the wind's mad howl, convened with one supreme object In mind. That purpose, born In brave hearts which do or die, was achieved in the conventional organization of the Mazama Ski Club. The officers are as follows: Ed F. Peterson, president; Guy Thatcher, vice-president; Billy Cramer, secretary; Charles Merton, treasurer; L. F. Pridmore. official guide; Conrad J. Sieberts, publicity man. Membership requirements are that all host of other attractive resorts. For that reason the hotels of this city, while they are Just as crowded as be fore, are not the scene of quite so much social activity. Many te Attend BalL Twenty thousand persons. Including Governor Whitman, Mayor Mltchel and many men and women prominent In the official and social life or rnew xorK, are expected, to attend the "Greater New York Civic Ball," to be given at the Hotel Biltmore January 12. The money raised. Is to be used for salaries of nurses for the after care of victims of the Infantile paralysis epidemic, of which there are 5700 under the public charge. The ball Is under the special patron age of President Woodrow Wilson, Governor Charles S. Whitman, Mayor John Purroy Mitchel, Dr. Haven Emer son, of the health department, and a large number of men of equal promi nence, so it can readily be seen how much Importance and significance Is attached to the raising of this fund. Part of the money will also be used to buy braces for nearly 10.000 children, who without them are in danger of becoming helpless cripples. One of the largest conventions ever held here started last week at Earl Hall, Columbia College. It was the first of the great convocation meetings in tbe cause of science, which are to be held every four years, from now on, , and called, together through, the agency -Big Logs Make Government Campi Mount Hood In tbe One of the Five Members of the I'arty applicants must be Mazamas. and have made at least two ski trips with the club to Government Camp Hotel. Much to our surprise on getting up Monday morning we found a blinding snow storm raging three Inches hav lng fallen after midnight. This did not dampen the spirits of the bunch, but made them more eager to try the new snow.. With regret we left camp with memories of the most enjoy able trip ever made by the members o the party, thanks to the kindness of the managers of the hotel. Having telephoned ahead to the genial host of La Casa Monte, 3. S Greenwood, we found a roaring fire and a delicious meal awaiting- us. Both were enjoyed Immensely, the bunch be lng wet and hungry, the snow having changed to rain. Again we were me by Otto Ashoff, who brought us to th Bull Run station in time to catch th 6 o'clock train for Portland. of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and 60 affil iated societies. More than 4000 leading scientists from all parts of the world were In attendance at the four days' sessions, while fully that many other persons attended as spectators. Scientific pre paredness was the keynote of the con gress and it is anticipated that great good will come from the bringing to gether of so many experts "in the dif ferent branches of science and the ex change of ideas and opinions. Among those on the committees were Simon Flexner, of the Rockefeller Institute (who. by the way, has issued a warning about the recurrence and danger of a spread of the Infantile paralysis plague during the coming year); Nicholas Murray Butler, Henry Osburn, Andrew Carnegie. Joseph Choate, Theodore Roosevelt, Mrs. Henry Fairfield Osborn and Mrs. Fred erick Ferris Thompson. Sfew Invention Described. At one of theN meetings Boris N. Weinberg, a professor in the Imperial University at Petrograd, described in detail a new method of transportation, wmcn it is claimed has a possible speed of 300,000 kilometers a second and an easily attained speed of S00 miles an hour. The invention, or rather idea, is of a vacuum tube, with an electric magnet, through which the cars would travel. According to Pro fessor Weinberg each passenger would have his Individual box. in which. In a reclining position, he would be shot through the tube, rather. I fancy. In the manner of a cash box in a depart ment store. In this way the trip from Portland to New York, would take about eight hours, and one eould go all the way to Petrograd in 14 hours. The annual meeting of the "National Civic Federation" will be held on Jan uary 22 and 23. at the As tor Hotel. Besides the regulation formal reports, there will be Important discussions of many of the big problems, confronting the Nation. Including those of Immi gration, economic questions and that of military preparedness. Reports are to be made by John Hays Hammond. August Belmont. Warren S. Stone, Alton B. Parker. L. A.

At the big congress of American Jewry held at the Hotel Savoy, during the past week. Dr. Stephen S. Wise was easily the predominating figure, both In restoring harmony, when It became necessary, and as the inspired leader of Jewish Democracy. The meeting. which was one of the most Important ver held by the Jews of America, re ulted in the election of Nathan Straus as permanent chairman and in the for mation of many plans for the settle ment of matters of Importance to the Jews of the entire world.

She played well. She Is a daughter of the late E. W. Nash, president of the Amer ican Smelting & Refining Company. Her home is Omaha, Neb. But it is not easy to succeed In a career when one Is rich, says the Kansas City Star. Peo ple are likely to discredit whatever merit Is earned by saying it was bought. Then there are family and friends pulling back, and always the lack of Incentive which drives those who feel the pinch of economic neces sity. All this Miss Nash realizes, but she will not give up, and already she has been rewarded for her persistency. She has pleased thousands since she made her formal musical debut in a concert at Aeolian Hall, New York. last October. Previously she had played with the Philharmonic Orchestra of New York and this Winter she is with the Boston Symphony Ochestra. It has taken hard work to accomplish so much. Four years ago Miss Nash went to Germany to study, but re turned when the war began. She wished to remain longer, but her family be came alarmed. She practices five hours a day, which taxes her energy to such an extent that she cannot give much time to her friends. They call her a recluse. "But one cannot accomplish anything In less time." said Miss Nash. "Of course there Isn't opportunity for much else. I live outdoors and ride a great deal. I am passionately fond of anclng as an art, but I don't go to dances." A young woman came in quite hur- iedly after the musicale had begun. Have I missed much?" she asked.
