WHILE club events have been
few, those held have been of
exceptional merit and charm,
for they Included some attractive
programmes and an expression of the
spirit of holiday time that made for
happiness and good cheer. For the
year to come some Interesting plans
are laid.
The current literature department
of the Portland Woman's club will
meet January 15 with Mrs. R. D. In
man. The next meeting date would
be January 1, but no meeting will be
held then.
The Portland Parent-Teacher coun
cil will assemble in the library at
1:30 o'clock Friday and the social
service department will hold session
an hour earlier.
Children's day at the Portland
Woman's club was celebrated Friday,
and proved to be one of the suc
cesses of the club season. Girls and
boys, big ones and little ones, came
chaperoned by parents and often by
grandparents, and every kiddie carry
ing a dolly, top or toy soldier, or
other of their Christinas toys. This
Children's day was a happy concep
tion of the calendar committee and
was carried out beautifully in every
detail. Webber's Juvenile orchestra
of 16 talented boys and girls, gave
a musical programme. There were
eight violins, a viola, five mandolins,
Adrums and a piano. A hit of the day
was a reading by Mrs. W. S. Klein
and another by her two little chil
drtn, Stanley and Virginia. The lat
ter said:
"When I go out to take a walk
I look so sweet and gay
1 have to take a dog along
To keep the boys away."
Virginia is three years old.
The orchestra played several splen
did airs including "America." "Aloha,"
and a descriptive piece, "The Mill in
the Forest." Maurice Rosenkrantz
aang.
The business session preceding the
programme bristled with Interest in
the discussion of civic, public health
and legislative subjects, among them
being the dismissal of William Finley
from the service of the state by the
fish and game commission. A resolu
tion was adopted as follows:
"Resolved. That the Portland Wo
man's club Indorse the plan suggested
by the governor to organize a sepa
rate commission which shall concern
itself with our resources in the ani
mal and bird world outside of the
commercial Interests of fish and
game, and that Mr. Flnleys services
as biologist be retained by this new
commission, and
"Be it further resolved, That a
copy of these resolutions be presented
to the governor and to the president
of the senate and speaker of the
house of the special session of the
legislature to be convened in Janu
ary. 1920."
The lack of a contagious hospital
was deplored and the members were
asked to support the city health of
ficer in his effort to have a hospital
built in a suitable location.
The age limit for automobile
drivers caused a lively discussion,
and It was decided to support a
movement to prohibit persons under
18 years of age from driving a ma
chine. Under the able leadership of
Mrs. Charles E. Runyon the club Is
growing rapidly and developing un
usual Interest in civic matters.
At the close of the programme, the
social committee, of which Mrs. Bert
Denlson is chairman, served delicious
refreshments. Mrs. F. C. Austin and
Mrs. W. K. Slater cut ices from a
beautifully appointed table, and
again the distinguished guests were
the children.

connection with the annual meeting
of the Oregon State Teachers' asso
ciation which will be held In Port
land this week, will be the big re
ception and musical to be given Tues

formed in Oakland. Cal., in 1915 when
the National Education association
met in that city.
A meeting of the national council
was held in Portland in 1917 at which
time the state organization was sug
gested. Nearly every state now has
a state council of executive women in
education, and it Is expected that
every state will be represented at
the National Educational association
meeting this summer.
The council is especially active in
connection with the school health
crusade, child welfare, Americaniza
tion and the thrift movement, but
one of its main functions is to pro
mote personal friendliness and a
united professional spirit among
women in executive positions and to
secure active co-operation both in
special problems and In matters of
general educational Interest.

W. C. A. Conducts Relief
Work in Jerusalem.
Mlsa Grace O. Strong of Ie An
Bjelea Released by Red Cross to
Take Charge of Work.
THOSB who are Interested In the
JL work of the T. W. O. A. In this
country will be Interested In notes
of the work In other lands.
There is a Y. W. C. A. in Jerusalem
under the direction of an American
woman, though the work Is adminis
tered under the world's committee
of the Y. W. C. A., which has head
quarters in London.
During tbe war a fund called the
"Syrian and Palestine relief fund"
made possible work in this remote
region. Later on the activity was
taken under the American Red Cross
and administered as a part of their
world-wide relief during the war.
Very lately the Red Cross withdrew
from Jerusalem and the T. W. C. A.
was urged to carry on the work.
Miss Grace O. Strang of Pasadena.
Cal., a Red Cross worker, was re
leased to carry on this T. W. C. A.
work.
The T. W. C. A. hotel Is used by
the British women who are stationed
In the Palestine center. A work
room for women of Jerusalem and
an employment bureau through which
the local women can find work are
also managed by the Y. W. C. A. It
is hoped that a recreation center for
native girls will be opened soon, as
girls in Palestine as well as In all
countries of the world since the war
have learned to work outside of their
homes and few of them know how-
to play.
The American T. W. C. A. recently
opened a hotel with living accommo
dations for 20 girls in Brussels, Bel
gium, which will serve as a demon
stration Y. W. C. A., with living ac
commodations, wholesome meals
served at reasonable prices, a recrea
tional and educational programme.
In addition to this center two in
dustrial centars, or "Foyers des Al
lies," have been opened, one in Brus
sels and ope in Antwerp, where in
dustrial women workers may go for
recreation, for educational classes,
for meals, for social affairs, and
where they" may also find a quiet
corner In which to read or to write
letters.
The Brussels foyer is housed in an
old warehouse and has been remod
eled so that it now has a cafeteria,
gymnasium, concert hall, classrooms,
a rest and reading room.
American secretaries are In charge
of the work, assisted by Belgian wo
men who attended the Y. W. C. A.
International Training school in Paris
this past summer.
During the first three weeks of its
existence the American Woman's
club, recently opened by the Amer
ican Y. W. C A. in Paris, in what
was formerly the Y. W. C. A. hostess
house. Hotel Petrograd, has enter
tained 170 transient guests, most of
whom stayed over the allotted two
weeks. Three thousand meals were
served, averaging 209 meals dally
during the first 21 days, the largest
number of meals serving during that
time being 281.
The club Is rapidly becoming the
center of American life in Paris. Sun
day afternoon tea has been estab
lished, with prominent women acting
as hostesses, and all Americans in
Paris stop in at some time on Sun-
Lday afternoon or during the muslcale
at nignt. An errort is Deing made
to get as many American musicians
of note on the Sunday night pro
grammes as possible.
