Mignon Nevada Hawkes, better known
as "Boobs," holds the championship so
far as knowni of being the youngest
patron of the public library. One day
while visiting the children's department
with her mother she became so inter
ested In one of the books that -.eh ex
. claimed:
'Ob, mamma, I wish I could take It
home."
Miss Millard smiled Into the ohild's
face and said that as soon as she could
write her nane she could take the book
home with her.
"Why, I ean write my name now,

Judge Brown lectures.
The Important event of this month
for the Oregon Congress of Mothers win
be the lecture to be given the 30th by
juukw wmis Jirown or Indiana, The
subject of Mr. Brown's lecture, "The
Kid of the Shack and the Boy of the
raiace. is a heart story and although
of Intense logic, it moves to tears and
laughter. Stanley Hall, in speaking of
Judge Brown, said: "I have visited the
juvenile court presided over by Judge
Brown and also the Morris school, which
he Inaugurated. I think his one of the
oest or any I have studied." And Dr.
ureenwood, superintendent of publlo
schools In Kansas City, says: "I can
not express In words my high apprecia
tion of the great work Judge Brown is
aoing ror parents, teachers and children
of our country. My prayer is that our
eavemy rather will give Judge Brown
strength to speak in every city, town
and hamlet In the United States.
Located at Charlevoix, Mich., is the
National Boy City, of which Judge
Brown is director. It is a complete
city with politics, mayor, city council,
pubUo utilities, bank, daily paper, mer
cantile establishments, church, postof
flce, entertainments, athletics all run
by boys. Its marvelous success has al
most overshadowed Judge Brown's Ju
venile court fame. -
Judge Brown Is an Informal speaker,
with an eloquence all his own. He is
aij actor one minute, a prosecuting at
torney the next, a criminal lawyer and
orator In turn a master of hearts stall
times. No wonder he la popular with
the boys, he Is one himself, with the
clairvoyant boyhood that follows ma
ture wisdom humbly and observantly.
No one should miss hearing the Judge
when be comes. The date is January 30.

In the January number of the Amer
ican Magastne Is an article on the
"World Scouts" that should be read
by all those who are asking about
the scout movement what It is, and
for what purpose, etc, and -what Is
the difference betwen the boy scouts
and the world scouts. Xll of which Is
lucidly set forth In this article by Al
berir" Jay Nock, whom we know better
as the author of "The Things That
Are Caesar s."
This scout movement is a thing that
has troubled many a mother, not know
ing whence It tended.
The original scout movement became
a military Institution and the chivalrlo
knight errantry Instinct of the boy
was diverted Into the channel of mil
itarism with the Idea In the back
ground that war and fighting fighting
other people: are inevitable and often
praiseworthy. Could it well be other
wise when the movement was encour
aged by such men as Lord Roberts,
General BadenePowell and Lord Charles
BeresfordT They represent war. Ev
ery boy is a born warrior. He loves
adventure and the idea of war fasci
nates htm, In the alluring way in which
it is presented to hia Imagination.
Out from the ranks of these war
riors comes one who has Inaugurated
a much greater and nobler movement.

One Mother's Way,
From the Christian Work.
They were like all other healthy,
wide awake boys and so the play
things were scattered about in their
fun, and left for somebody else to
pick up.
There was no patient elder sister to
help, nor was there a maid of all
work to set tho' house In order.
Mother's busy hands did all the
work, and her willing feet took many
needless steps because there was always
somebody who "forgot"
To be sure, the boys were happy lit
tle lads and seldom failed to respond
when told to put away their blocks
and toys, but alas for the times! for
when mother's eyes spied the untidy
playroom the boys were usually out
in the barn, or at play In the far
field.
Since the playroom was only one end
of the dining room, it must not be left
In disorder, therefore a plan must be
devised.
Now this mother believed in coopera
tion with her boys as a sure means of
preventing "strikes."
Jou have heard of their, "council ef
war" system, haven't youT
The mother called a council and in
due form presented her plea, what shall
be done to make the boys remember to
put their playthings away.

The mothers and teachers of the Hol
man school held a very .Interesting
meeting this week. Mrs. Frazell spoke
of "What Have Tou on Tour Book
Shelves," and showed what a strong
Influence on the mind of the young is
! the book, and warned mothers to have
a care for the reading matter placed
I within reach of the child.
The meeting of the Big Sisterhood
; this week was devoted to the discus
sion of .the abolishing of the publlo

ment for the downtown element. Mrs.
Lola Baldwin gave some very helpful
suggestions that may be carried out
in the future.
This matter of taking away, 'forcibly,
another's amusement and happiness of
life, with nothing to replace or give
In Its stead la 'a. serious thing, and is
so considered by the most thoughtful.
To tear down without the power to
build up, to take away without the
power to restore, Is a very serious re
sponsibility. Mrs. C. J. Blake and daughters of
the Thompson Parent-Teacher associa
tion leave Portland the first of the
week for Seattle, where they are to
make their future home. Mr. Blake
preceded his family - some days ago.

Mrs. Blake, as she has been one of
the active forces In the association and
steps out of the presidency on leaving,
Mrs. Blake Is a sister of Lester W.
David, who has large lumber interests
throughout the northwest.
Superintendent Rlgler was the prin
cipal speaker at the Sunnyside circle,
as also at the Montavllla this week.
Mr. Rlgler ought to be a power in
bringing about the cooperation of par
ents and teachers. His plea to the
Parent-Teacher association of the Ladd
school soon after Its organisation last
year was worthy a place on the tab
lets of every circle In the city. He
showed the necessity for unity of pur
pose and cooperation between parents
and teachers anj the great trust held
by teachers. He compared the Infancy
of children with that of animals. Chil
dren are more valuable than anything
else in the world "end suggested that
putting the children on the prSerram at
the circle meetings would attract the
parents, and added by way of encour
agement for the small attendance of
parents that "when two or three are
gathered together in the name of child
hood from that center emanates grace."
At the meeting of the Child Welfare 1
league of the Ladd school on Thursday
the attendance was small, due to two
reasons the stormy afternoon and the
failure of the prlnclnal to send nut
the customary notices. However, those I P?
present gained a comprehensive idea of
the statewide garden movement from
Mr. Dana's talk. Mr. Palmer of the
Y. M. C. A. followed with telling the
mothers what had been done and what
could be done In this garden contest
that he had inaugurated last year, and
expressed his desire to cooperate with
any system or plan to carry Into ef
fect the "back to the soil" movement
Then he interested all by his plain
talk of "American Home T.lrV" ohnw.

The national convention of the Con

can't Portland send a delegate to rep

T Is the aim of almost every woman
to have pretty house frocks,, and
especially la this true of middle
aged and elderly women.. .
Younger people are. apt to be in
and .out of doors all day long.' Con
sequently th house gown is of less im
portance, but the elderly matron often
makes her house toilet in the morning
and does not change It until the even
ing, perhaps.
The more simple models will always
be the more successful ones when it
comes to ' house frocks. Given good
lines suiting the proportions of the
wearer and little or no trimming will
be necessary, because any desired deco
ration can be carried out by the addi
tion of accessories. This plan of de
tachable trimmings Is a good one, be
cause it allows of so many changes. A
dress of nice material will wear quite a
long time, and If different effects oan
be brought about 6ne does not tire of
the .dress. The fixed decoration is apt
to grow monotonous.
For morning wear the skirt should
touch all the way around and have a
little dip In the back or not as the
wearer desires. If she is quite short
the dip will be an Improvement
The high neck will probably be fa
vored, but this does not mean that the
finish at the top should not be pretty..
There are many who find the trans
parent neck too cold, but If a small
yoke or chemisette la backed with chif
fon and lined with a piece of fine al
batross one may be fashionable with
out any discomfort For Instance. In
making a chiffon yoke. If the material
Is first shirred In little pin tucks and
backed as suggested the result will be
very soft about the face, also suffi
ciently warm.
In using up Spanish lace for yokes
two thicknesses of chiffon and one of
thin China silk will be about the right
thing, because this weave of lace gives
quite a little warmth of itself.
The V shape chemisette is generally
the most becoming, though when the
Chin is pointed the square yoke will be
thek better choice. Needless to say the
cushion off a chin should not be empha
sized by placing a round yoke below it
The V shape should be chosen, and In
this way modify the lavlshness of nature.-
The round yoke Is youthful look
ing to those who feel they can wear
it and should do so because it is one's
duty to keep up good looks as long as
possible.
These are all small details, I Jtnow,
but Important ones also.
I have known many women to carry
the dress material quite up to the
throat and bear with the ugliness of
such an arrangement because the dress
maker insisted upon a transparency
there as tho only alternative.
Elderly women will welaome the re
turn. to long sleeves. They are not only
more comfortable for this class, but
also more becoming.' ' The flaring cuff
is a pretty fashion, but if found too
cold, a facing of fine flannel sewn in
and then covered with a lace frill will
keep the wristB warm.
A tall, slender figure should choose
sleeves for her house frocks on the pic
turesque order, as, a series of puffs or
the slashed sleeve, regardless of present
fashion.
The plump little woman may have
becoming sleeves by ehlrrtng
them lengthwise on cords or tucking.
The return of the dainty fichu is an
other point In favor of the pretty house
frock, and as It comes In all shapes and
materials the choice of something suit
able is riot a difficult one.
Personally I think the black house
drees Is a mistake. Colors are far kind
er to women no longer young. Soft old
rose Is lovely when the locks are sil
very, and so arfr gray, old blue, wistaria,
and the rich wine shades.

tian witness and the special message
of the church; and there would still
he a condition of society which would
make enormous demands upon the In
tegrity and sincerity of personal char
acter. The church must see to It that
the gospel of Christ Is given a social
expression.
"The church is not to be a deposit
of opinion, but a source of spiritual
energy, a mighty social dynamic, a
fountain of redemptive life. It Is to
be a power house where there is gen
erated a suply of spiritual energy suf
ficient to move the world with wis
dom, courage and peace. This power
is not to be found only in the pulpit;
but in her sacramental life, and In her
common worship; and the Lord's test
at the last Judgment will not be dog

to human needs. If this witness Is to
be borne by the church in these days
of social unrest It cannot be the work
only of teachers and preachers, but by
the laity.
"It Is for you, each for himself, to
face the demandsof the living Christ
which he makes of everv one of hia
members, to be a friend of the poor;
not a critic, but a comrade of the work

MENU FOR DINNER TO YOUNG GIRLS
North American Cooking Expert Also Answer Several Other Queries
Al
By Mrs. Anna B. Scott.
CORRESPONDENT who signs her
self "West Philadelphia Sunday
School Teacher" has asked me to
suggest a menu suitable for a din
ner to a class of 10 girls, whose
ages range from 10 to 13 years, The
menu I have selected will be found very
dainty and appetizing for the glrlsr" It
is as follows:
DINNER.
Chicken Bouillon
Celery Olives
Chicken Cutlet with Green Peas
Sweet Potatoes. Puffs
Orange Salad
Cracker and Neufchatol Cheese In Fancy
shapes
Snow Pudding -
Cream Mints Salted Nuts
Rolls
Your chicken can be prepared the day
before and breaded In the morning. Of
course, the bouillon Is the stock in which
the chicken is boiled. A four pound
chicken will be enough; two cans of peas,
one Brnall bottle olives, two stalks cel
ery, cut into short lengths and split and
put into cold water three or four hours,
and it will curl; a quarter peck of sweet
potatoes will be enough for one dozen
puffs; a dozen oranges, at 30 cents a
dozen, will give a liberal helping.
A nice way to fix It is to cut the
orange In half and carefully remove the
pulp In sections; then remove all the
white skin and put the skins In cold
water until ready to use; then serve the
salad In the orange cup (saw-tooth the
edge of the orange shell); place On let
tuce leaves and sprinkle a little sugar
over the top. With each helping serve
a saltlno cracker with a cheese balL or
the cheese made into some other shape.
The snow pudding is one of the very
lightest and daintiest desserts.
Tou know that we are all apt to have
too much rich living at -this season of
the year, especially school girls and
boys. Rich cake, puddings, candles, and
everywhere we go some one will say:
Oh, do have some bonbons or fruit
cake!" and the many other things.
The chocolate cake to which a Ger-
mantown correspondent refers is the one
we gave some time ago, and Is as fol
lows:
Chooolate Oak.
1 cup cocoa.
2 cups sugar.
1 cup flour.
1 cup cold water.
2 teaspoons baking powder.
Vt teaspoon vanilla,
5 eggs.
Vt. tc-aspoon salt.
Put the cocoa and sugar Into a bowl
and add the water; mix well; then add
the yolks of eggs, beaten until light;
sift In the flour and baking powder and
mix Well; then add the whites of eggs, '
beaten until stiff, and fold In very cara
fully. Bake In two pans on paper, if
the pans are 10 by 16 inches, th cake
should be two Inches thick. Put togeth
er with a boiled' icing, flavored with
vanilla, or. If you are very fond of choc
olate, you can use a chocolate Icing.
A vary nice way is to spread one side '
with a very tart Jelly and the other with
the Icing, and then put together. Quince
Jelly blends very nloely with chooolat.
In answer to "H. If." of Kensingtons
First, I cannot name any one store, as
my prices were .taken from different
stores. The prices I gave for the,, chick
en were the same in different 'places,
namely, Frankford avenue, Front street.
Kensington avenue. Ridge avenue near
Dauphin street and Germantown avenue
near Erie avenue. For the chicken,
potatoes, turnips or cabbage tho prices
we 10 the same In most of tho stores.
I found quite a few places where I could '
have bought the things I quoted for
loss than I charged in my list.
Flour and baking powder aro about '
the same In most stores. My price was
for the best. Theso should bej In the
house all the time.
No, "H. II.," I do not purchase a cent's ,
worth, but 1M only use a teaspoon of
baking powder, it ohjy costs a cent. -There.
are 10 rounded teaspoons in,a
quarter pound box, at 10 cents. That Is
the best. Some kinds can be bought ''
cheaper.
As for "H. H." eating a three-and-a-half
pound chicken herself, I' can only '
say this: She will not live Ions; If she
a.ts like that alL the timew Perhaps 1--she
cooks the chicken and eats it with- ,
out bread, potatoes, turnips or any other
food, she might do away with it; but
remember we had a good soup, and with
the three-and-a-half pound chicken we
had a quart of potatoes, a liberal amount
of crust and gravy, mashed or creamed
turnips or cabbage, or a can of tomatoes,
and either vegetable can be purchased
at the price I gave. We also had a
good, hearty pudding, and if we did not
like tha pudding, there was the water
Ice.
I assure "H. H." that if,, she would try
to prepare her meals as s'he Is told and
keep sweet while she is doing It, there
will be enough and to spare. Tha orange
water ice was to take the place of tha
pudding In case you did not Ilka suet -pudding,
and it would only have cost a "
few cents more to make the water ice.
"H. H.," I do so want to help you. and
from the tone of your letter, you need
help, not only In how to buy and how to
propare food, but In how much one
should eat to be well.

without an understanding about it With
the boys ; was, according to her Idea,
to arouse a spirit of rebellion: so they
talked it all over in an impartial way,
the boys feeling a sort of responsibility
for an opinion.
"I s'pose," said one rather ruefully.
"you could put 'em away so we couldn't
get 'em."
"That's a fine thought," said the
mother, as if she hadn't been hinting
that way.
"Suppose we do It. Ill have a guard
house and put the things I find out of
place into it for 24 hours, .or until
'bailed out."'
What's balled out?" asked the hoys.
Then came an explanation of the court
process and the boys understood they
would have to do some extra work to
"ball out" the playthings, although they
were very sure they would never forget j
any more.
Did the plan work? Oh. yes. finely.
Mother was fair, and her cry of "any
thing ror the guard house? often sent
flying feet back to put things in place.
But the boys were fair, too, and
while they often forgot and their toys
disappeared, there was no ill nature or
rebellion, and they did many a bit. of
work for "ball."
The work was always something that
took time and required patience, so
that the boys learned good lessons, not

Suggestions for Child Welfare Cam
paign. This is a day of campaigns in the
political, religious and philanthropic
world. A notable Illustration Is the

from the Pacific to the Atlantic, arous
ing to greater Interest and cooperation
those who are already workers, and
enlisting thousands of others never be
fore Interested, and accomplishing the
raising of nearly a million dollars for
the women's foreign missionary work.
By kind permission, some of the
plans for carrying on the Jubilee cam
paign are here adapted for use in
the proposed child welfare campaign,
inaugurated under the auspices of tho
National Congress of Mothers.
The success of the campaign will de
pend upon the united effort, the, per
sonal service, and the enthusiastic co
operation of countless workers.
What can you do, what will you do,
to aid in this most important work?
Will you not give time, thought, ef
fort and money for the conservation
of the children the most precious por
tion of our nation's wealth?
Purpose of the Campaign. '
To arouse the greater Interest in
'child welfare.
To enlarge the vision of those in
different to the highest Interests of
the home and the child.
To secure a host of earnest, devoted
men and women to cooperate with per
sonal Interest and enthusiasm In a
campaign for child welfare.
To secure a large fund to carry out
the objects of the campaign.
Why February?
February, 1912, commemorates the
fifteenth anlversary of the founding of
the National Congress of Mothers,
whose sole work 'has been the welfare
of the child.
The committee recommends that Feb
ruary 17 be observed universally as
child welfare day, and that meetings be
arranged at convenient times during
the month to consider child welfare In
its broadest phases.
Why Simultaneous?
Enthusiasm is aroused in the knowl
edge that a universal campaign is in
progress. '

To the Editor of The Journal God Is
love, I John lv:8. The church has al
ways laid down this statement of St.
John as a basic truth of religion.
Christian Science also accepts it as
such.
The church teaches the trinity in
unity of Qod, that tha father is God,
the son is God, the holy ghost Is God;
and yet not three Gods, but God eternal
ly being and manifesting himself as
father, son and holy ghost.- Christian
Science states the doctrine of the trin
ity but with certain modifications of its
own. And both the church and Chris
tian Science teach that god la eternal,
without beginning or end of days, the I
am, and God filleth all. He Is all in
all.
Thus far Christian Science has in the
main, at least agreed with the teach
ings of the church but now begins to
diverge. In its text book, "Science and
Health' page 119, It propounds this
question: "If God filleth all space. If
he Is all in all, whence then came mat
ter?" It presents this dilemna: If mat
ter Is self evolved, springs Into ex
istence of Itself, is a power In and of
Itself; if so, then It usurps the place of
Ood, crowds him out of his universe
while to grasp the other horn of the
dilemna and regard Ood as the creator
of matter, the universe. Is to make
him responsible for all disasters, phy
sical and moral, that might occur In
the universe he created, indeed an
nounce God as their source. Now the
deepest thought of the church has al
ways taught that matter could not
exist as a force In and of itself. Also
It is admitted that God could not create
matter, but notfor the reason given
by Christian lclKce, namely, that this
would make him responsible for all
the evils that would arise in the world
he had created, but for the reason
that even God eannot be conceived of
as making something out of nothing,
though you sometimes hear the asser
tion: "God made the world out of nothing."
So as matter is not a force in and of
Itself, as it is impossible to think of
something being made out of nothing
and for its own special reason the evils
that may enBUo, Christian Science pro
ceeds to argue ana to lay it down a
a truth not to be controverted, tha
matter has no reality. Is not an entity
is nothing, and to say that it is an
entity, a reality. Is the error of mortal
mind.
The church on the other hand while
clearly stating that matter is not self
exlstant. Is not created out of nothing,
docs teach that matter Is an extension
of God's being. As Dr. DuBosa In "The
Ecumenical Councils" says, "The .true
Christian consciousness knows no oper
ation, Influence or presence, that is not
God himself. To it nature is God
events are God. everything is God, save
those finite spirits to whom In free
will, God has given the power to bo
other than himself and even contrary to
himself.
Therefore matter, tho universe, as an
extension of God's being is n real entity,
real as God is real. If this Is true as
he deepest $hlnkers have declared, then
he foundation premise or Christian
science rails to - the ground, nut see
what an odlflce Christian Science seeks
to build upon It. I ciuote from Science
and Health: "Matter Is nothing;" "Have
no fear that matter can ache, swell or
b inflamed as. a result of a law of any
kind, when It is self evident that matter
can have no pain. Tour body would
suffer no more from tension or wounds
than tho trunk of a tree which you gash
or a wire which you stretch were it
not for mortal mind;" "To understand
tnat sickness is not real and that truth
can destroy Its seeming reality, for this
understanding is the universal and per
fect remedy."
If, or rather since, .the argument that
matter is an- extension of God's being
Is true, it follows conclusively that
matter la a real entity. CHAPLAIN.

exceptions, churches have larger mem-

In the case of the Episcopal church near

The financial value of Methodist
churches now aggregate $182,262,000, a
gain of $2,600,000 last year., if parson
ages be Included, and some property
counted that Is in mission lands but
under Methodist control, the total Meth
odist property now stands at $216,116,

ages, schools and colleges, valued in
the millions, are not included.
The Epworth league, the organisation
of Methodist young people - of bothr
sexes, shows heavy declines both in
senior and Junior departments. The to
tal decline is more than 23,000 members.
The Year Book, Just issued for 1912,
gives no explanation for this decline in
young people organization membership.
