Maps ot Each School District Are
Prepared In Manual Training
Shops Back-to-Farm Work
Is Done by Women.
Vith the month of June, the Council
of Parent-Teacher Associations will
close a year of unusual and eminently
successful activity in school, civic, home
and child wlfare -work, under the
leadership of Mrs. Alva Lee Stephens,
who for the past two years has been
Its president. The chairmen and mem
bers of the many committees have been
untiring and faithful in performance
of tasks assigned them.
The garden work has been well man
aged and its results satisfactory and In
keeping with the patriotic efforts of
the season.
The object of the work was purely
a. social service one of getting- the idle
men and vacant lot together. The po
tatoes were lent to be returned to the
local Bocial service chairman in the
Fall, who keeps them for next Spring's
distribution. The person helped felt
more self-respecting by being able to
pay his obligation when the crop was
harvested.
Aid In Garden Work Asked.
Last Spring, 1916, the city officials,
realizing the enormous amount of good
work being done by the social service
department In each school district,
asked the association to assist in the
garden work. Through George L.
Baker's department 26 lots were
plowed, 43 sacks of potatoes donated,
1273 packages of Government seed were
distributed.
Mrs. W. I. Swank, chairman, said In
her report given at the last meeting:
The country boy learns early that he must
assist in the work on the farm. The city
boy has much time to idle instead of pro
ducing the necessities of- life. It Is hoped
that home gardens for sirls and boys will
help to make the city sirls and boys pro
ducers. Maps have been prepared of each school
district in manual training; shops, home gar
dens are indicated by red dots. An inspec
tion will be made monthly by the School
Hoard and one person from the Oregon
Agricultural College.
Segregated Market Bought.
Definite steps bare been taken towards
the establishment of a segregated children's
public market where produce from home
gardens planted by children throughout the
city may be offered for sale. This market
will be under the direct personal supervi
sion of the market chairman, Mrs. K. J.
t-teele.
A central exhibit will be held In the Sum
mer with cash -prizes to be awarded to
girls and boys having the best produce
svown in home gardens of Portland public
school children. Competent Judges will be
called upon to' pass Judgment. Arthur
Bouquet, assistant professor of vegetable
gardening for the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege at a recent meeting of the Council of
Parent-Teacher Associations most cordially
proffered the assistance and co-operation
of this college in this broad work ot con
structive education and helpfulness.
Mr. Baker's department has donated 380
sacks of potatoes to the social service de
partment to be loaned to- those who could
not buy. Twenty thousand packages of
Government . garden seed have also been
given out by the social service department.
Vacant lots have been filed and distributed
from the office of the Free Employment
Bureau. . -
Benefit ot Worfc la Felt.
The various districts have felt the
'benefit of the work and of the Inter
est shown by Commissioner George I
Baker.
The Social Service department has
done a vast amount of work under Its
chairman, Mrs. C. J. Devereaux.
Scores of families were helped, A
mere outline of the good work would
occupy a column of space. Here Is a
small sample:
The families cared for through the bureau
were 3.'iti: those cared for by the local circle,
so far reported, 130: 02T1 garments were
given out through the bureau; 2044 gar
ments given out by' the 11 circle social
service reports, making a total of 8315.
Mlnety-three baskets were given out Christ
mas and 17 boxes ot food, containing a
week's supply. One hundred and five dollars
was given out in grocery orders by the local
and 60 orders were given out through the
bureau; 91 persons received medical treat
ment, 41 hospital care; 643 pairs of shoes
Tere given out, irom xne Dureau, xu
pnlrs by local chairmen; Sit pairs were pur
chased, 15 by the bureau, 20 by local circles:
8:11 pairs of stockings from the bureau, 8
sheets. 10 pairs slips. 11 comforts, 3 blan
kets, 7 mattresses, 3 rugs, 1 gas range. 3
stoves, 1 sewing machine, 2 baby buggies, 1
baby cart, 1 baby walker, 105 pairs gloves,
4:2 pairs mittens, 428 hats and caps.
Work Obtained for Idle.
"Work was secured for 234 men, 42 boys,
1(11 women and 19 girls. Homes were pro
vided for seven children. Thirteen cords
of wood were prooured for families. House
rent was paid for three families. Milk was
furnished four babies for periods of from
one to three months. Elx hundred and two
friendly visits were paid by workers repre
senting 11 circles and bureau.
Another good work In which the
women of many districts have been In
terested is the gymnasium classes In
the schools. These classes have Just
closed and the parent-teacher circles
have found them a great source of
pleasure and hope for their re-openlng
In the Fall. In them 45,640 adults were
given instructions and training.
The proportionate cost was less than
In any other city.
THE PROPRIETOR MAKING A SAI-li.
HORSE MEAT LIKED
Customers Return for More
After First Trial.
ONLY YOUNG STOCK IS USED
15 00 Range-Fed Horses of Eastern
Oregon Obtained as Supply
for Shop Recently
Opened in Portland.
"We are out of that, but we have
some nice. Juicy horse steak," Is a reply
that Portland waiters of the near fu
ture may be expected to have on the
tip of their tongues, following the es
tablishment last Monday of the Eastern
Oregon Horse Meat Market at 149
First street.
Do Portland people like horse meat?
Just station yourself near the door of
the new market and watch the people
flock in to buy.
Possibly "It Is curiosity which
prompts the first purchase, but E. O.
Kinser, general manager of the, shop,
declares that after the first purchase
the majority are coming back for the
second. '
- That the eating of horse meat has
been definitely established In Portland
as a means of combatting the high cost
of living Is the belief of Mr. Kinser
and others who have been watching his
experiment. Mr. Kinser announced that
as a result of the rapid sale of the first
consignment of horse meat, he would
have a fresh carload of horses arrive
In Portland from Eastern Oregon the
first of this week for use In his shop.
He said that as a result of the good
sale he had secured 1500 young, range
fed horses In Eastern Oregon, which
are to be sold here through the newly
established shop.
The epicure who sits down to a
savory dish of roast horse need not
fear that he is dining on the carcass
of faithful old "Dobbin," a former
friend. No, "Dobbin's" ghost will not
haunt him, for the City Council passed
an ordinance providing that no old.
work-worn horses could be sold In
Portland as food.
Only young horses and horses In the
best of condition can be sold for con
sumption, according to the terms of
the ordinance. These which are being
sold in the newly established shop are
young, unbroken horses, raised on the
range and wild as the other wild
things of the field" and forest.
The cuts of horse meat do not look
unlike beef as they hang in the shop
with the exception that the color is
somewhat redder.

MYSTIC CALLS ON FAITHFUL
TO ENTER REALM OF SPIRITS
Lone Follower Confers With B. Truebenbach, Self-Styled Esoteric
Teacher and Leader of the White Lodge of the World.
Turner to Hold Memorial.
TURNER, Or.. May 26 (Special.)
Memorial services will be held here at
Twin Oak Cemetery Wednesday at 2
o'clock. Professor John O. Hall, of
Willamette University, will speak. Spe
cial music will be rendered.
IF you care to take a mental joy
rlde around Venus or a psychic
trip to Mars, better sign up with
B. Truebenbach, esoteric teacher and
leader of the Mystic Brotherhood, the
White Lodge of the World, whatever
that Is, for he can give personally
conducted tours almost anywhere, so
he says. '
He lights candles, burns incense and
performs Incantations, and then things
happen, he believes. He gets mes
sages from the Infinite spaces beyond
human ken that tell him what to do.
It's as spooky a proposition as the
frequenters of freak religions know.
Brother Truebenbach is hot a Spirit
ualist either. Please keep this In mind
for the cultists have their distinctions
and their little points of pride. He
Is, however, a medium developed to
the point where he is a prophet. He
says so himself. Personally, he thinks
he is another John the Baptist, and he
finds Portland a real wilderness to
cry in, so far as his labors are con
cerned, for although he has sent out
divers and sundry circulars offering
to teach the only real and true re
ligion, for a consideration, not one
response has so far come.
Follower Called to Conference.
If Brother Truebenbach had only
sent his soul off- on a ramble to
waltz around the ring of Saturn, for
instance, or wherever It is that our
puny world and all Its little affairs
are regulated, he might have learned
his venture would prove a flivver and
he could have saved his stamps.
B. Truebenbach, rabboni, was in con
ference with a faithful follower last
night. This zealot had a fire in his
eye and a flush upon his cheek that
seemed to be not of this world, at
least of the ordinary rational universe
that everybody knows. He it was who
expounded the faith in a way that con
fused and bewildered. He sees Btrange
things in dreams, he hears voices that
tell htm secrets of the universe, and he
finds himself speaking words he does
not understand. He fell of a building
once, too, and he says it didn't hurt
him.
However, B. Truebenbach, rabboni.
reverend and esoterlo teacher, has
established quarters at 235 Eleventh
street, and he offers a course in mys
ticism or religion, or whatever It Is
that makes up the beliefs of the
Mystic Brotherhood. His circular reads
in part as follows:
Circular Glows With Promises.
Tou are heartily Invited n Wnm.
ber of this only true existing religion and
Decome a piuar Rmonc your citizens. Yn,i
must learn to understand that this school Is
far superior of any theological college or
university. Here you become acquainted
with the secret and sacred private teachings
ol mg inrisi ana an iormer messtahs which
they privately grave to their chosen dl-lnl
These are the teachings which cannot b
thrown among the profane, and therefore
must be safeguarded from generation to
generation, from master to his chosen pupil,
and must be guardsd under vow, to God, by
the welfare of his soul, because it is too
sacred to become known among the common
peopis.
Now, dear friend, brother and sister, would
you not like to be one among the few to ob
tain inn great Inner work or the Christ T
A three months' course, including all teach
ing and scientific! training, will enable you
to etana independent a scholar of the Christ,
and you have cast all belief or disbelief be
hind you for them you know, and you will
be forever a scholar of the Christ College
and be led by God'a wisdom and counsel.
The fee for a three months' course Is oniv
$1.1, and you are a member of this dtw
Christ's church, which will be founded soon
in time before you, in which the hearty and
true praises of men. women and children
will go for generations.
But for the real Peruvian mysticism
one guaranteed to tie your thoughts
into double bow knots and send one's
mental processes sky-rocketing along
the milky way B. Truebenbach. with
his mild blue eye and very thick Ger
man accent, seems to offer full value
for the money.
It is a good Idea to sort of ransack
old cerebrum and cerebellum when
one leaves and take stock of the dlf
ferent bunches of cells and ganglia
to see they are all still there And
none have become tangled up In the
mental gymnastics to which they have
been put.
And as for the zealot with the flash
Ing eye and the cheeks burning with
the Eeal that Is entirely unearthly, one
is Inclined to think that when he fell
off that building he alighted on his
head aad it did hurt him.

An Honorable
History
REPUBLIC Tires have
had a long and hon
orable history.
But they never deserved
so well at the hands of
tire buyers as now.
The Prodium process
rubber of which they are
made undoubtedly pro
longs the life of the tire.
It is tougher and stronger.
It is less rigid and there
fore more responsive.
It is less liable to chip
and road cut and offers
greater resistance to wear.
As this becomes more
generally known there
are four to five hundred
new buyers of Republic
Tires every day.
