BY LEONE CASS BAER.
"If you aver think of ma and this
meeting, tha thing I want you to re
member tlwiyi is that you have given
me a very great happiness."
The speaker was Helen Keller and
vhi addressed the words to a group
of mute grirls who surrounded her in
her suite at the Multnomah hotel last
Wednesday noon. Miss Keller's arms
were filled with roses which the girls
had brought her and she had embraced
and kissed each girl and had talked
lovingly and with genuine interest to
each of them as her teacher and
friend, Mrs. Anne Sullivan Macy, bad
presented thm to Miss Keller.
The girls, 12 in number, are em
ployes of the Meier & Frank depart
ment store and through arrangements
made by W. E. Kiernan, superinten
dent of employment of the store, they
had been taken to call on Miss Keller.
They were accompanied by Miss Ethel
Moore, who is in charge of the welfare
work in the store, and by Mrs. J. W,
Redding, an employe of the store
whose work for 12 years as a teacher
in the Deaf and Dumb Institute in
Arkansas has fitted her splendidly for
her role as interpreter.
Miss Keller had been told that the
12 girls worked in various depart
ments of a big store and she was
eager and glad to meet them. As
each girl was presented to her Miss
Keller talked rapidly by placing her
fingers in the palm of the girl, asking
her name, her sue. what line 01 work
she did and expressing ht-r own joy at
finding other girls who were fight
ing the right," as she put it.
Conversation Is Spirited.
With one of the girls. Willmette De
Lashmutt. who is amazingly proficient
at lip reading. Miss Keller carried on
a spirited conversation. She placed
her finger tips on Miss De Lashmutt's
lips to read her words and Miss De
Lashmutt in turn read the lips of Miss
Keller as she saw the words forming.
It was Mla De Lashmutt who pre-
' sauted the flowers and acted as
spokeswoman for the group. Miss
Keller told them about the trip she
had taken on the Columbia river high
way and that she was coming back
here for the exposition in 1925. Witn
svmnathy and understanding she
talked into the palms of all the girls,
telling them of her problems and her
happiness and asking them all about
their work, their homes and their am
bitions. She told them that Mrs. Macy
had that morning made purchases for
her In the store and had she dreamed
that so many Interpreters had been at
her command she would have come
herself and shopped with the girls to
n ke known her wants. "It would
been un for us all," she said,
i li Mrs. Macy and Miss Keller
ed gratification that the girls
all ambitious and busy.
The fact that a dozen mutes are in
the employ of the Meier & Frank
company will possibly interest others,
to whom the news is a surprise. Two
years ago the idea originated with
W. E. Kiernan and he took it up with
Julius L. Meier, who gave it complete
sanction. Tlje results have Justified
their experiment. A deaf and mute
girl, accompanied by her mother, had
come to see Mr. Kiernan at the store.
"Many deaf and mute persons are dis
couraged and disheartened by the at
titude assumed toward them, perhaps
unconsciously, by many hearing folk,"
the girl wrote in her conversation
with Mr. Kiernan. "It is taken for
granted that a mute is incompetent
to engage In any but a very small
number of inexpert occupations, al
though she may have been specially
trained for something else. Have you
some sort of place for me In this big
store?" She went on to tell a few of
her qualifications and Mr. Kiernan
took the Idea under advisement with
Mr. Meier The result was that he
hired her the next day and two days
later she brought along another mute
girl who in turn was given work.
There have been as many as 20 em
ployed at one time 1. ihe store. They
work in the billing room, folding the
bills, in the filing and mall-order de
partment, filing and indexing orders,
in tha price-marking department, in
the candy-packing rooms, and the
fascinating Willmette De Lashmutt.
who Is the lip-reading expert, , is in
the auditing department and operates
a comptometer and posting machine.
Girl Deaf Since Babyhood.
She has been deaf since babyhood
and was mute also until she learned
mechanically to form words. She has
perfected her speech until it has both
expression and tonal quality and she
reads Hps rapidly and easily. One of
the girls, Frances Poi, is a Chinese
and her fingers fly rapidly at packing
candies. She was born a mute, and so
were one or two others, but the ma
jority of the girls lost their hearing
and speech from Infant illnesses. One
of the girls, Daisy Morrison, has been
employed at Meier & Frank's for three
years. She is from Pendleton and told
Miss Keller all about the Round-up
and the lively town from which she
halls. Daisy Is a price marker and is
one of the prettiest, sweetest girls in
all the store. Rose Delaney is an
Irish lass, Selma Hager la a fair
Norse maid and Charlotte Coffin Is a
sunshine girl, all smiles. Winnie
Gaudy Is one of the little maids who
marks the price tags and Pearl Lun
day Is a serious, quiet girl of great
earnestness. She sang "America" for
a little group tn Mr. Klernan's office
yesterday and It was one of the most
impressive of sights. Lips mute and
ears unheeding, her face was filled
with expression as her hands and
arms wove the patriotic story in per
fect rhythm and with a spirit and fire
In her eyes that thrilled the onlookers.
All of Girls Dance.
"The girls all dance." aaid Miss
Moore, "and they say they determine
tha time of the melody and its rhythm
through their bodies, vibrating first
In their feet and then through their
bodies. They have lots of fun and
everyone In the store loves them. The
various 'normals' in the vicinity of
the mute girls have picked up signs
and symbols of their language and
carry on conversations with them.
They are constant patrons of picture
shows and omnivorous readers. At
lunch time they are seated at one ta
ble sod at re.t periods they embroider
r knit or sew or read. One or two
.tave married and left the store. They
tell me that they love swimming and
i-H sorts of healthful outdoor sporta

of the world, anything that points to
cheerfulness, or that opens a way to
social enjoyment is to be welcomed
on broad humanitarian grounds as a
means of relief from depressing per
sonal conditions and thus a furthering
of mental health. Their obje'et in life
is to obliterate their physical defects
to the greatest extent possible and fill
positions of usefulness and honor."
Mr. Kiernan Enthusiastic.
Mr. Kieroan is enthusiastic over the
results of his experiment and he and
Mrs. Kiernan have acted as hosts for
the girls on many a festive occasion.
"The chief reason that mutes as a rule
are not aggressive and not capable of
making acquaintances easily is that
they are not sure of their reception,"
he says. "They do not know what
will happen to them if they attempt
the unexpected. They are sensitive to
rebuffs and after a few attempts to
demonstrate their equality. If dis
couraged, they decide upon a line of
non-resistance. Instead of being
helped they are pitied and they do not
ask pity. They do not even ask for
special privileges, but they do ask a
chance and the Meier & Frank store
has given these girls their chance and
they certainly have made good.
"Deafness and dumbness I consider
an accidental characteristic" said Mr.
Meier. "The mute girls in our em
ploy have manifested an ability to
concentrate, which is of aid and Is
recognized in economic competition.
In any branch of activity where com
munication is not an absolute neces
sity they have made a success.
"These girls look upon life earn
estly, their minds are filled with
pent-up instincts. The absence of one
thing has apparently given to them a
better opportunity to develop others.
It's the old law of compensation all
over again."

PLASTER CAST MODEL PLEASES CIVIC ORG AXIZATIOXS.
The Royal Rosarlarrs, Jesse A. Currey and C. P. Keyser, all of whom have long been Interested in the estab
lishment of an official rose garden for Portland, are beginning to think their dreams will come true and that a
rose garden that shall be a show place of the city shall soon become a reality. The model for the proposed garden
was completed last week by the municipal landscape architect. Miss Florence Holmes, and was displayed before the
members of some of the leading civic organizations, who expressed great enthusiasm and approval of the under
taking. The model Is made on a scale of one inch to 20 feet and represents an 11-acre tract in which the roses will be
made to blossom in different sections of tha plan. There will be terraces with paths and driveways and plenty
of space for parking machines. The historical garden will be a feature. It will contain roses that have played a
part in history, the Tudor rose, the Rose of Persia and others most interesting. Another section will contain a
pavilion, and this will be devoted to the Rosarians. In It each Rosarian will have two roses which are to be their
especial charges.
A memorial garden will contain roses dedicated to the memory of notables of Portland. Terraces and water
falls will be introduced and? pools will ba rose bordered. A few shrubs will give pleasing contrast..
The plans are made to Include the international rose test garden, which rill be the official rose garden of all
the countries of the world In which roses are grown. '
The Portland section of tha garden will be all Carolina Testouts. the official roses of the Rose City.
Mr. Currey, who saw the model, which Is painted in natural colors, declared that it had caught the spirit of the
rose garden and was beautifully designed. Miss Holmes drew tha plans, made the model in clay and then in

Music Lovers to Enlist Support of
Civic Organizations for Com
ing Concert Season.
An unusual interest is being shown
in symphony concerts all over 'the
country this year. Judging from the
reports which have been received at
the office of the Portland symphony
of the support which is being given
orchestras in the principal cities of
the United States. The plan of sell
ing season tickets, which is followed
here, is being used with great success
in cities in which symphony orchestras
are listed as real community assets.
The necessity lor supporting Port'
land's orchestra will be presented to
several clubs this week. Rabbi Jonah
B. Wise will speak tomorrow at the
Chamber of Commerce luncheon and
Wednesday at the Ad club. Miss
Blanche Nelson, who came to Port
land recently from Vancouver, B. C,
for the musical advantages here, will
address the' Rotary club Tuesday on
the value ot a symphony orchestra.
Club Purchase Tickets.
The Progressive Business Men's club
has already manifested its interest in
the orchestra by buying tickets
through its board of directors. Fred
erick W. Goodrich addressed the Civic
league yesterday on the value of the
orchestra in the community.
From Chicago has come the report
that the sale of season tickets is maich
larger this year than last season.
"There is one optimistic place in
Chicago, the office of the Chicago
Symphony orchestra," says a state
ment just received here. "The sale
of season tickets for the orchestra
season, at the close of the first day's
sale, showed an increase in the cash
receipts over the first day of last year
of more than 23 per cent."
Other Communities Active.
"The St. Louis symphony orchestra
reports that there is every indication
of a most successful season approach
ing," says the Musical Leader. "The
interest of the public in the orchestra
never has been as great as now and
this attitude is well reflected in the
splendid progress in the subscription
sale, which has already mounted to a
higher figure than the entire season
ticket sale of last season. It is conn
dently hoped that entirely sold-out
houses are possible.
The success of the Los Angeles Phil
harmonic orchestra is due largely,
says a letter from the management,
to the "generous support given by the
people of Los Angeles and southern
California. The sale of season tickets
for this year, one month in 'advance
of the first concert, is more than four
times greater than last season at the
same date.
Soloists Are Comlns; Here.
Of interest to Portland music pa
trons is the announcement of soloists
for the Los Angeles orchestra. The
list contains the names of four artists
who will appear as soloists with the
orchestra here. These are Arthur
Hackett. tenor: Harold Bauer, pianist:
Sophie Braslau, contralto, and Yolanda
Mero. pianist.
The other two soloists with the
Portland symphony will be Helen
Stanley, soprano, and Vasa Priboda,
Bohemian violinist.

4 STUDENTS OWN HOME
College Men Build House and Make
Payments on oLt at Corvallis.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, Or., Oct. 15. (Spe
cial.) Four college men "own their
own home" In a literal sense, and are
all working their way through the
year with a minimum of cost and a
maximum of comfort. The men are
H. M. Bailey, F. J. Hoedecker. T. E.
Bailey, all of Portland, and F. E.
Johnion of Pasadena, Cal. They have
built a house and are making part
payments on the lot.
Their cottage Is arranged to suit
the needs of students, having an ideal
atmosphere for study, a wide study
bench, good ventilation, and indirect
lighting. The problems of cooking
are solved by the combination of a
coal range and a fireless cooker. De
tailed expense accounts are kept,
making correot estimates for ensu
ing terms possible. Their accounts
tend to show that the entire house
and equipment will pay for them
selves within one year, judged on
the basis of the combined room and
board bills if they were not batching.
Senator to Help With Schools.
Senator McNary has pledged his
support in seeking for Portland the
establishment of the federal voca
tional schools, in a letter to the Ore
gon chapter, Amer'can Association of
Engineers, comprising 1250 technical
men. In response to a communica
tion sent him by the engineers, he
wrote: "You may be sure that I
shall be very pleased to have one of
the new federal vocational universi
ties In Portland and that I shall do
what I can In this matter. I do not
know just what plans have been
made, but I shall look Into the situa
tion at once."
