brought out many things of Interest
and value to the public as well as to
the profession, especially in connec
tion with the care of children, njothers
and expectant mothers. One of
the. most interesting papers was read
by Miss Otella Hendrickson. her sub
lect being VPre-Natal Care," in the
course of which she said:
"The United States census bureau
.estimates that 300,000 babies die an
nually,. under one year of age; that
4 per cent of all born die before they
are six months of age, while 4 per

200 babies born one mother dies. Still
we have left an appalling mortality 'of
those who live through the first year
and still many others who become in

detective children.
"We know that the health and de
velopment of the child depend largely
upon the health of the mother and her
protection from overwork, worry and
underfeeding. We also know that the
maintenance of breast feeding is an
Important factor In the growth and
health of the child. The next ques.
tion la how to reach the mothers with
the proper instruction. The public
health nurse is the answer to this
question; no one has a better oppor
tunity to know what the average
mother is Ignorant of. We can study
home conditions and help remove any
factor detrimental to health. Our
work is to Instruct the mother In
hygiene, diet, exercise and amount
of sleep needed. We must teach her
how to prepare for the baby and how
to care for It later. We must be on
the alert to recognize any danger sig
nals such as persistent headaches.
protracted vomiting, edema of the ex
tremities and teach the patient the
need for early medical supervision
and care.
It Is the nurse who must urge and
coax the Ignorant and indifferent
mother into co-operation for her own
and her baby's welfare. We must
help correct the family's dietary
where it seldom varies from baker's
bread, potatoes and coffee."

Colonel E. Hofer of Salem, vis-

cliffs of a cape.
Trhere has been too much "let-

fer yesterday when explaining the
work completed under his direction.
This cape affords one of the greatest
attractions on the coast. The large
lighthouse Is one of the few accessi

places, and the ever-changing pano
rama of the surf lashing rocks at ths
loot or the promontory, coupled with
the long view down the coast past
Jump-off-Joe. and Cape Perpetua t
Heceta Head where another light
house is placed, is too inspiring to be
missed and well worth a visit,"
With that purpose in view. Colonel
Hofer interested several men. Includ

Union stockyards In Portland and who
was a guest at Agate beach. These
men volunteered their services and

f t, Kio-o-st events of 1 dream, not a reality, and the boy is
Two of the biggest events or Qwn J4 lg anJ uter ,4 The
the season were pulled off last central flJure Is a boy who ls a
week. Tuesday the Follies (the 14th
edition) came to town and on Thurs
day the Winter Garden brought its
summer show to Broadway both the
forerunners of the summer season
of 1920.
All adjectives should have been
exhausted before now in describing
previous spectacles at both houses!
Critics agreed for the fourteenth
time that the Fellies was the best
show that Mr. Zlegfeld had brought
to the New Amsterdam theater and
followed suit about "Cinderella on
Broadway" at the Winter Garden.
Many Portland favorites appeared
with the new productions. In the
Follies among the principals were:
Bernard Granville, Charles Wlnninger
(who has been under Shubert man
agement until now), W. C Fields,
Van and Schenck. Ray Dooley, Mary
Eaton. Moran and Mack, Fanny Brice,
Jack Donahue and Jerome and
Herbert.
With the Winter Garden: Georgle
Price, Jessica Brown, John T. Murray
(last seen in Portland in "Maytime"),
Eileen Van Biene, Stewart Baird, the
Barr Twins, the Glorias, Wells, Vir
ginia and West, Dickinson and Dea
gon and Homer Dickinson.
Irish Players Come to Town.
The Celtic players, who have been
appearing in Provincetown. came to
Broadway tor a summer engagement,
rechristened the Irish players. Their
program consisted of three one-act
nlavs. two of which are brand new
to uptown theater goers- "A Minute's
Walt." by Martin McHugh, proved to
be an amusing burlesque of the lei
surely railroad methods of Ireland.
Lady Gregory's "The Rising of the
Moon," has been seen before but
"O'Flaherty, V. C" was brand new.
Written by no less a personage than
George Bernard Shaw, It proved to
be interesting and well worth while.
Tho lines are extremely clever and
the company acted well. P. J. Kelly
Mrs. Dudley Dlgges, Emmet O'Reilly
and Edward O'Connor have good
parts with Mr. Kelly as O'Flaherty,
Shaw's hero.
Jfevr Shubert Play, "Dont Be Afraid,
The Shuberts presented Ernest
Truex In another production, "Enter
Mr. Cupid" not scoring the desired hit.
There were some who went to see the
show who were lured by the magic of
the author's name and went expect-
in something that would keep them
in gales of laughter. Avery Hopwood
has written other things besides "The
Gold Diggers," but somehow that is
the play that ls associated with his
name because of Its unusual success
on Broadway this season
"Don't Be Afraid" ls along entirely
different lines, one critic comparing
it to "Peter Pan." Its theme suggests
"Smilin" Through," which will be
played by Jane Cowl a little later in
coward, through parental Influences,
and who struggles with his weakness
until he overcomes it. Then there is
cruel man condemned to struggle
through life in the form of a dog
until he has atoned for his actions. A
bit hard to swallow when shown, but
It later fits into the dream very
nicelv. There are a number of well-
contrasted scenes that keep the play
from being monotonous, and the ele
ent of mystery, ls well sustained.
There ls a scene in a circus which
shows a group of performing dogs
and a trick pony, as well as the poor
beast who is supposed to be the rein
carnation of the bad man. xne play
was well received and will have a
Broadway opening later.
Another Wallace Show Coming.
David H. Wallace, general manager
of William Harris, is author of a
new play that William Brady plans
to produce in the fall on Broadway.
Mr. Wallace was general press rep
resentative for Mr. Brady before the
war. but left his Job to join the first
officers' training camp at Plattsburg.
N. Y., and served with honor during
the war as captain. When he re
turned he was "loaned" to Mr. Harris
nd has done some mighty fine work
as his general manager, "ine Lazy
Lady" is the title of his play, which
Jessie Bonstelle will produce with her
summer stock in Buffalo in a week
or two. She will play the leading
role herself, which ls said to be an
unusually good one.
"Abraham Lincoln" seems destined
to run on Indefinitely and latest news
from Mr. Drinkwater is to the effect
that his new play manuscript ls on
the high seas bound for America and
William Harris Jr. It is called "Mary
Stuart. Queen of Scots" and if It
makes half the money that "Lincoln"
has. both Mr. Drinkwater and Mr.
Harris can retire for the rest of their
lives!
Grace Vale-tine Closes LonK Season.
Grace Valentine closed an engage
ment the other night that had lasted
almost three years! According to
statistics, she has appeared no less
than 1032 times as Daisy Mahoney in
"Lombardi. Ltd." She is now rehears
ing In "The Cave Girl" a new produc
tion by Middleton and Bolton which
Comstock and Guest will produce
shortly in Washington. D. C. Leo Ca
rillo will also appear under new jnan
agement this season. Th Selwyns
announce his engagement as star of a
coming production. It is his first ap
pearance In many years away from
Mr. Morosco. Miss Valentine, by the
way is merely "loaned" to her new
managers, which leads one to infer
that Mr. Morosco may star her again
a little later.
Few Closings This Season.
More theaters are open on the Great
White Way than in any other season
that ons can remember. Reason the
cool weather and the large crowds of
summer visitors. How much longer It
