This will be one of .the topics of the thrift campaign that will caim the interest of clubwomen this year. The federated clubs are going after the high cost of living in a determined fashion. Before they attack the prices they are going to look about the house and see where they themselves and members of the family possibly may be contributing to extravagance. Mrs. Mabel Settelmeir of Woodburn Is state chairman of thrift, -having been appointed by Mrs. Ida S. Calla han, state president of the Federation of Women's clubs. "Wants That I Can Do Without" will be another subject that the wo men will put straight to themselves, and "The Art of Entertaining at a Small Cost" will be another subject that will receive due attention. Every club in the state Is asked o appoint a chairman of thrift and to give the subject earnest attention. "Is It Wise to Buy on the Install- ment Plan or Have Things Charged?" also will be a subject for talks and study. The general slogan will be "Let us spend wisely, save sanely and invest safely."

Stearns Offer Serv ices to I'a rent-Teach era' Associa tions. M1 spoke here & the biennial council of the General Federation of Women's clubs, when it met in the White Tem ple in 1915, will speak before clubs and societies in Portland this month. Her headquarters will be at the Ben son hotel.. ,No charge will be made for her services, and she will appear before parent-teacher gatherings with pleasure. The dairy council has in dorsed Miss Stearns" work. She is a well-known lubwom.ii as well as a live-wire speaker and is prominent in educational circles. The Oregon Federatien of Women's clubs is interested in the milk survey being made by the Oregon Dairy coun cil in the schools of the state, with the permission Of State Superintend ent Churchill and the indorsement of Dr. David N. Roberg of the state board of health and the backing of the Oregon Parent-Teacher associa tion and the hearty co-operation of the 'superintendents, principals and teachers. There has been one super intendent who has declined to make the survey, but she is being ap proached by some of the leading edu cators of the state, and they promise to explain the worth of the survey and the fact that it only takes a very few moments of the teacher's time. So far Oregon is showing up far better in percentage, of milk users than California, according to the statements of H. S. McKay of the California Dairy council. But in this state in some of the dairy districts more than one-third of the children use no milk. Teachers notice that the children who use milk are, as a rule, brighter and quicker in their studies and not so liable to be ill or nervous. In some districts where the educational work has been done, teaching the food value of milk, the use of milk has doubled. North Bend schools are doing well for the children. The dairymen and schools provide milk for the little one. and the school nurse weighs and measures them regularly. As soon as this plan was inaugurated the children began to Improve. Brook ings, In Curry county, shows a large percentage of non-milk users, 53 out of 83 children being on the list of those 'who do not get milk In the diet. In some districts of Portland since the first survey the children have greatly Increased their use of milk. Mrs. Colville W. Elkins En tertains Shumia Club.

Time to Cnrb Reckless F.iprndl- tares by Persons of Moderate Means Held Opportune. HRIFT week will be celebrated In every woman's club in the United States January 17-24. Miss Georgie Bacon of Worcester. Mass., director of the thrift department of he Gen eral Federation of Women's clubs, has been authorized by the executive board of the federation to co-operate with the Young Men's Christian asso ciation in its great .national drive during that period to teach the Amer ican people the necessity of thrift. Nearly $5, 000,000.000 Is spent for the movies every year; $3,000,000,000 for Immorality; $2,000,000,000 for soft drinks; a like amount for tobacco and cigars; $200,000,000 for confectionary and" $13,000,000 for chewing gum, while' millions more are spent on cheap theaters, dancehalls and for other pernicious forms of amusements that pave the way for mental, moral and physical degeneration as well as financial loss. Club women say that the time has arrived when a campaign must be inaugurated for the protection of the moral life of the nation and the fam ily pocketbook. Such wild expendi ture as now characterizes the a'ver- age wage-earner, including the men and women of moderate means, calls for drastic action. Something must be done to arouse the people of every community to the need of conserving their incomes. Reckless expenditure of every kind is to be frowned upon. The study of family budgets is to re ceive consideration. Lessons in thrift are to be taught at women's clubs and through them disseminated through out every community. . Material will be sent to every fed erated club from which outlines of study may be prepared. Special speakers from university extension departments will be heard at all lead ing clubs during thrift week with a view to starting a campaign of edu cation that will continue throughout the year. w The French department of the Wom an's club will meet as usual on Wednesday at theMultnomah hotel.

PLUGGING AMBITION BRINGS KATHERINE MACDON ALP TO TOP "Sticking Old Chin Out" With Fighting Spirit Responsible for Success of Greatly Beloved Film Star in Amazingly Short Time. t -i. I I t 'V ) ! ---?. ' U 1 i Iff ' ' 1' '4 jV; i jW (" -slil-niTf .i-sniirriifii IQyJ - Many and many a man has gazed at Katherlne MacOonald as she appears on the silver screen and wished that he truth fully might say "the woman thou gavest me." Her beauty and her talent are na tionally famous and she has won her way to stardom In a record-breaking hortnet of time. Let her tell you herself. BY RAY W. FROHMAN. Copy right, lilln. by Evening Herald Pub lishing Company.) IF YOU are a lover of the beautiful and who is not? If you think you are a connois seur and who does not? Then you have already made up your own mind whether Katherlne Macdonald Is the most beautiful wom an in pictures or out of them or simply one of earth's loveliest. De gustibus non est disputandum. you know. Far be it from me to venture any personal opinion in that matter in which each of us has his own crtteTfon especially when so many other beauteous picture stars are fit contenders for the golden apple. You v have all seen Katherlne Mac Donald on the screen, ravishing as a bride, winning as a mother, spiritual as a lover. In sorrow, in melancholy. In brood ing, you have voted her "stunning"; In defiance and sacrifice alike, "glorious." And it was-not merely her pensive sweetness, her splrituelle beauty that tore at your very heartstrings. Every picture playgoer recognizes that Kath erlne MacDonald has restrained, dra matic, emotional power, as well as a screen appearance like- a beautiful etching, a face and form de luxe. So, because a kind Providence sent rae to interview "the American beau ty" a modest nomme de lithograph which should read "the All-American beauty" you'U be glad to come along. It was easy to find Katherlne Mac Donald's home out in, the fashionable Wllshlre district even In the dark. I found the street. I found the right block. But not a number could be seen in the darkness, nor did I know which side of the street it was on. But I saw a colonial house that looked! stately, aristocratic, pure, beautiful as does Katherlne Mac Donald. That would be her home. And It was! It Is a real home. too. belonging to Katherlne and her mother and' her younger sister, "Mary MacLaren," and her "other" sister, Miriam, who writes. It was full of Mary's young friends and "homey" atmosphere and domestic noises. They do say that so many friends come In to dinner or bask in the sun- shine of the MacDonald-MacLaren beauty -trust at Sunday teas, that the place is almost as crowded as a cafe teria! Miss Miriam conducted me to Kath erlne and Mary's "study," a den with pictures of quiet good taste on the walls, -blue and gold cretonne draped about the windows, a desk littered with "oodles" of books more human than "highbrow," comfortable mission chairs a room that's really used. ', Katherine was leaning uncomfort ably over trie family telephone until I shoved her a cretonne-covered stool telling some inquisitive person that she's "had a Fifth -avenue-bootmaker for years, having' peculiar feet." When she sat n a mission rocker, chin in hand; when she raised her flat hat and lowered her light blue eyes, so that . I could see that her hair is a darkish brown; when 1 could look full upon her she was again "The Wcman.Thou Gavest Me!" Such melting loveliness. I have never beheld! " Wondrorfs eyes, the eyes of a poet the nose of an Olympian' goddess finely chiseled lips a "klssable" mouth her classic features were perfect! Diamonds glittered in a ring, on each hand, and in a bracelet; a golden fraternity . brooch gleamed from atop her magenta hat; but that Harrison Fis-her typa. with the most perfect nose in America needed no adorn ment. . Gazing upon Katherlne MacDonald full-taced, a cynic would become a poet a confirmed woman-hater would long to write a sonnet to the tiny dimple that twinkles at intervals next one corner of her mouth! And then, while I was still in a state of coma from gazing upon su- pernal heauty, she crossed her knees and talked earnestly, sincerely, cleverly, like the real, warm-hearted friendly person that she is. glowing ly of her friends, fervently of her opinions and purposes, rapturously of the glories and atmosphere of Del Monte. For she had just returned from be ing "on location" there, and was still In the throes of unpacking. Her mass of wavy brown wisps of which strayed down her plump cheeks, was "fresh the laundry," she said and hair, over from that ' started the argument. "It photographs differently in ev ery picture you can't bet on it!" she said. "I wouldn't do a thing to my hair I think it's disgusting. If you don't think it's real, go try to buy some of it! I TRIED to, when I had to dress it in very high Spanish style for a picture. "It Isn't blonde.. Miriam's a blonde, but not to the point of exhaustion. Mary's Is yellow I think Mary's Is divine and it's never been washed in anything but pure soap. Mine la mouse-colored it's nothing! "And I've lied about my age so much that I don't even know it my self!" Miss MacDonald Is the sort of well bred girl who quickly makes you feel at ease, talks frankly and tells you lots of things "confidentially." She looks about 21. She comes from an old Pennsylva nia family, "all rich but my branch," as she explains. Her great-grandfather. John W. Britt, was a surgeon on George Washington's staff. She has been in pictures less than two years, having appeared in. only a dozen films, and tells about her start and rise in this wise: "I came to California from New York in 1917. primarily to advise Mary" In regard to her contract I come from a family of lawyers. "I went to the Horsley studio every day to take Mary, who was only 18, to and from work in the family mo tor. Of course, I became interested in pictures while doing this, but to tell you the truth I wasn't particu larly anxious to be associated with them, though I loved to see them. We had bur own home, I've always had an income, and I didn't come from a theatrical family. "One day the studio manager. Man ning, said: 'You're hanging around here all the time why don't you 'work'?" ' "He probably saw that I'd photo graph well. I said: That's a clever idea I think I'll try it.' "If I had any idea then about going into pictures. It was to become a director to go Into the practical, business end of the game. "I was given a three months con tract at $30 a week In stock in Mary's own company. I worked In two com panies at once, ' playing the parts of maids in Mary's first picture there, 'Her Bargain,' and a picture with Crane Wilbur. I also helped decorate the 'sets.' for I'd been living In an artistic atmosphere in New York. "I began to like it Immediately'. While I was working in Mary's sec ond picture, appearing in the role of her sister they had to cut out many scenes because we looked so much alike that it was confusing I was engaged as Crane Wilbur's leading woman. - , ' "Before I had ever even been" in side a studio or before a camera had been offered $100 a week to be leading woman for the European co median. Max Linder. 'A man inter ested in the financial end of pictures saw us all dining at the Los An geles Athletic club, guessed that I was Mary's sister he knew her at Universal and made the offer. "By the way, after I had been with Mary's company Just three weeks I was fired! Because I was in stock there they asked me to play a maid in George Ovey's comedy company, and I 'resigned. "I didn't wish to be associated with comedy. I'm not funny: I'm too big to be In comgdy; I haven't a funny nature, and being' In comedy doesn't go along with my theory of life. "I was 'fired' in the evening and re-engaged the next morning. I was the finniest situation! "Then Mary was off the screen after that frightful, terrible automo bile accident In which we almost lost her. I had a specialist come from New York for her. and I tended her for a month constantly. Of course I was too busy and distracted to be in pictures, and they released me from my contract to play lead for Crane Wilbur. - "When I brought Mary back from six weeks At the beach I'd forgotten all about my career. I was inter ested, of course; but I was vitally Interested in Mary. I went to the Morosco studio to rent space for her.
