"Several-years ago tha president ot

and wanted to incorporate it in her own

Of "the statistical report of the Colo
rado loan fund, the chairman says:
, oRinea nrnnlutlon the committee has
loaned almost lltMO. It has an out-
tandlnr caDital today of $4658. It
has paid for scholarships, $186, It has
assisted 81 girls with' loans, of whom
4$ have paid back their entire lnaeotea
ness. , It has given scholarships to 8$
. girls. ,. It has never lost ons penny,-,.
The work in Colorado began actively
In October. 1002. The work In Oregon
was suggested and the plan approved
In October. 190. but no active work,
or appreciable sum was raised until the
winter of 1007-8. At the La Grands
convention In 1908 the scholarship loan
- fund day. was -sstablished.' Tha-first
chairman of the committee, Miss Helen
Spalding, who had been seriously sick
for several months, passed' away. Dur
ing her long illness the work had been
practically at a standstill. and much
of the Interest and enthusiasm which

work was at a low ebb when, it fell
upon the shoulders of the present
ranable and earnest ' chairman. Mrs.
Frederick Eggert. ; who resigned many
of her. other (official and social duties
that the might devote herself to this
' work. That the sacrifice has not heen
In vain. Is evidenced from the high
praise Oregon has received from Colo
rado... But to give jColorado her full
share of credit, Oregon must acknowl
edge her debt of gratitude by stating
that, the thought and inspiration and

Harding's committee Mrs. Morgan

in the winter of 1906-f. At the Eugene
convention Professor Carson suggested,
in a paper read before the assembly,
that the club women of the stats pur
chase scholarehlps for deserving young
women and thus assist them In procur
ing an education. The plan was adopt
ed by the eolleelate alumni, but the Col
orado plan appealed mors strongly to
the club women and was adopted. This
little history has been called out to

of the leading papers said: '
"Mrs. George J. Frankel, wno, since
her return from Europe In the fall, has
made her home at the Washington ho-
tel. left this noon for Portland, or., to
reside there. Her Mother, Mrs. N. S.
Keasy, has been a, resident of Portland
20 years, and two brothers or Mrs.
Frankel are successful business men in
the western city. This is one of the
principal reasons why she has decided
to go to the far west and, besides, she
has no one , related to her by Jles of
blood here ' .
During her residence In St. Louis for
more than 15 years Mrs. Frankel has
been one of the most successful and
most admired clubwomen. She held the
office of president of tha Eighth Dis
trict, Missouri Federation of Women's
clubs, four years, and her amiable
qualities as a leader, wise decisions
when controversies arose and impartial
conduct of her high , office have en
deared her to hundreds of clubwomen
In St. Louis and the state.
"Mrs. Frankel is young and handsome
and her force as a leader of women will
undoubtedly make for her In the city of
her adoption a very enviable position In
social and club circles."
