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.
