During the winter the Ashland Study club has taken the regular Bay View literary course which has been a study of English history, literature aifd . a brief view' of modern England. Aa a club It has done nothing In the way of elvio or munlolpal work; as individuals, the members have uaed their Influence and furthered In every way possible, the extensive line of city tmprovementa un dertaken by tbe present progressive city officiate. Tbeae Improvements include a system of sewerage, cement sidewalks. street grading, street paving, and extra attention to sanitary details. The 8. P. railroad oompany alao has greatly Improved the depot grounds, and la erecting a series of masonry arches la place of a long, unsightly trestle within the city limits.

Tbe Woman's club of Forest Grove, at Its meeting next Monday will olooo a very suooesaful olub year. The most Important work of tha year haa been preparing for the Introduction of manual training In our public school. We secured the ' cooperation of the school board, and are now assured that when school opens next fall it will be with a fully equipped manual training department We established department . work In our club, and It has been of great ben- Uem- Our club also has the honor of hav ng received the noted Portland artists, William Wallace Graham, violinist, and Madame Jennie Norelll, soprano, to give grand concert in our. college audi torium May IS. " M We have bad two open meetings dur ing the year, the program of one of which waa furnished by the Shakespeare department ' MRS. JOHN A. ABBOTT. Vice-President t H H Child Labor and en Women at -Jamestown. Among the many gatherings of nota- this summer if that of the League of American Pen Women, which convenes at the Inside Inn oa tbe fair grounds June 11. This meeting will take place during the seesion of the National Edi torial association, which will be opened by President Roosevelt June 10. The Inside Inn will be headquarters for both these conventions, and the hoe- pltaiity of the exposition and all social features that are arranged will include both organisations. At the meeting In Juno will gather a Woman Suffrage. In one of his "Treason of the Sen ate" articles, David Graham Phillips says: 'If Pennsylvania's working children were to stand shoulder to shoulder, the line woulu reach more than 12 miles. If one of them were to pass your door each minute, day and night. It would take three months for the entire num ber to go ty." "There is a real problem for real con structive statesmanship. And a sen ate of and for the people would eon aider It to the exclusion of all other problems until it waa solved." Florence Keller Is of the opinion that the enfranchlaement of women la In dispensable to the solution of the child labor problem. .She says: "In the four states In which women vote on all sub jects, child labor and Illiteracy have ceased to be problems. Nowhere in the industrial 'world are 'children ao effec tively safeguarded In life, limb, health. education and morals as- in Denver, where mothers and teachers finite to keep In office the Justly famous Judge Llndser of the Juvenile court, overcom ing (with the help of a minority 6T po litically independent fataera) the unit ed efforts of the Republican and he Democratic bosses against him. "In contrast with the good fortune of the children of Denver is the plight of the half million illiterate children in the II southern states, in which women have no vote and make alight Use (If any) of the right of petition. la New Tork city, whore women have no vote, the young children pay penalty of the disfranchisement of their mothers and teachers.

H It V'-';, New Tork Federation Passes Significant Resolution. The thirteenth convention of the New Tork City Federation of Woman's clubs last week was largely attended, not only by official delegates, but by' members or women's clubs generally. This waa tbe first meeting over which tbe new president, Mra. William Cummlng Story, has presided. One of the most interest' ing features was the appointment of a special committee on eaual suffrage. Few had forgotten the farewell addrees Of Mrs. Belle de Rivera at the last meet ing of the Federation, la which she spoke of having abfrained from advo cacy of equal suffrage during her ad ministration, leaving tha questlou to be settled by spontaneous action of the olubs, jt was an especially fitting tribute to the former president that such action should have been taken at the first meeting slnoe ber retirement Mrs. Clarence Bums' resolution, ask ing the city anthorltiea to build booths In the public parks for the distribution of pure milk, was passed. Mrs. de Rivera reported that 18,000 had been subscribed for the Federation hotel for working girls, and when $1,000 more is in the hands of the oommlttee the work will begin. Tbe committee on flowers, vines and area planting of the Municipal Art ao- olety, through its ohalrman, Mrs. Ed ward H. Hall, made an attractive ex hibit of window and baloony boxes and of ornamental tree tuba, It H H When Cooking Becomes A Dignified Profession. Tbe head cook of tbe Cavendish hotel. London, Mrs. Rose Lewis, receives a salary of 115,000 a year. Besides this position, but In connection with It, she takes girls and women pupils and her graduates are aaid to be always able to command the beat positions and the highest salaries. Tbla la a much more practical way of learning cooking If there la not so much of domestlo science in it than in a reg ularly appointed echool where conditions are never the same aa In a regular kitchen. And when girls can be trained In cooking to command salaries running up into the thousands the sting of being aomesuo win De removed. It St It The Jewish Societies Leading in Philanthropy. The associations of Jewish women are doing great work In charities of va rious kinds. In New Orleans they have lately opened the Touro infirmary, a thoroughly moddern hospital of 150 beds, of which 80 will be free. A Jewish maternity hospital in New Tork, on the east' side,' la to be opened in September. In Philadelphia the Rebecca Orats Home for Working Girls was opened last month. It will accommodate 80 girls, with reserve beda for Immigrant girls needing temporary shelter. Tha Baltimore section of the oouncll of Jewish women has appointed Miss Martna Reisenstsia to look after Jewish Immigrant women and girls arriving at mat port. . Miss . Reiseosteln waa for merly a resident worker In a settle ment and working girls' home. The. excellent work of the neighbor hood house in Portland every ona la uregon is conversant with. Last year the Jewish industrial re moval office removed 1.921 persons from New Tork to all parts of the country, making the total of pereons removed slnos the beginning of t the Work taltl TS. mrmrm cities and towns. Of the 1,111 persons sent laat year, l.tSt were women and children, the moet of Whom went in ram u y groups. -"Tr st'" st H A Modern Solomon On Yearly Housecleaning. From the Chloago Post My son, consider now the woman that oleaneth house. She arlaeth In the morning and her husband vleweth her with alarm, for sne girdetn her hair Into a knot like unto a doughnut And ahe attlreth herself in a skirt that hath neither front nor back, but looketn like unto a piano cover. And she putteth on a waist which she hath cherished even from the days when they wore big sleeves. And she putteth npon her feet shoes like unto tbem that are worn by tbe minstrels. And she sayeth unto her husband: "Verily, this house Is a fright, and I am going to put thtngs to rights." And her husband layeth down the pa per, for the murder news cannot thrill blm, neither doth be care for presiden tial boom a For be knoweth that nothins can happen out In tha big world like unto what will happen unto hla house this day. And he goeth away unto bis business and cometh not home until It Is even ing; yea, until It la dark. And be flndeth a colored man even then beating rugs In the side yard with his golf sticks, the which have been broken one by one. And hla eisar Jar hath been emptied of cigars and made to hold tacks. And they have taken his sweater to wash windows with. And there is nothing m the house to eat save what waa left from yesterday, and Is hidden beneath fourteen flat Irons and half a box of laundry soap In the pantry. And the wife of his bosom hath soot on her nose and tire in her eyea, and ahe looketh like unfo the breaking up of a hard winter. And she bursteth Into tears because he doth not kiss her and oall ber an angel for working ao hard. And she maketh him worg nair tne night carrying things Into the house. So that he spralneth bis baca iirung the piano and smasheth his thumb be tween the wall and a bookshelf, and falleth over against tbe staircase when he taketh an armful of chairs upstairs, and spralneth his wrist And she sayeth that If he talks to her that way again she win go home to her mother. Is it not so. even aa we have whacked it from the typewriter with the sway backed space bar? st si st An Entire Town Run by Women. Some time ago there was a good deal In the papera about a little town In Kansas, where all the officers were women. That came about by an at tempt to get a little free advertising.
