Mrs. Penlson and a score of others equally distinguished to have met them personally, to have beard them speak for ua publicly and to have them talk to us privately about the great thlnga they ara engaged In, was an education in itself. Then came Miss Helen Boe ell and Miss Mary Wood; two women who have been in the thick of the In dustrial fight In New .Tork ltyr-a fight we know nothing of but which they1 warn us will be oua If we don't awake and- arm -ourselves before the battle la on,. ' Next came that 'peerless ' wemsn Mrs. Prances Squire Potter, whose very ' jpersonallty was an Inspiration.

' ' I Many others passed through the city 'with Just the hand clasp of friendship, but they were women who did 'things, and even the touch waa an Inspiration. I Is It Uttle wonder we feel as If we - hi ad had j-evlval meeting? I A greatlbeneflt will come to the clubs tef the state, not alone through the In spiration of these talks and lectures and personal visits among the club women, who will become better women for them having been here, but It has shown to many in the state, and particularly In Portland, what manner of woman the club woman Is. Many of our most 'earnest women, women who devote their AtMvee to public service, have .withheld ' .themselves from the clubs because they did not ' understand what -club work taeant, nor the real club spirit. Even to many club women this has been- a revelation, which must result In a great . club revival throughout the state.

The Shakespeare Study club of Port " i land went Into the work on an extensive 1 scale,, maintaining, not only official headquarters, but a very pretentious living quarters which was called "Camp fclary Arden." Her they have dis pensed the most generous hospitality, .making It really one of the social cen ters Of the assembly. It is hoped that this Chautauqua spirit will grow, and ;that next year many more clubs will take advantage of the pleasure and in struction the assembly offers. " K R S s k NOTHER distinguished woman has iA been In our midst, and while not " strictly speaking a club woman, she belongs to the great army of women - rgaUzed for the uplift of humanity. It was Mrs. lorence Atkins of Nashville, Tenn.. who was the speaker for the W. C-I, U. on their Chautauqua program. .

' At the cottage during the Chautau qua Mrs. Eva Wheeler held the young people well during, the entire week, making the afternoons-a-great- sueeeas. The members and friends have found the Chautauqua bungalow delightful, both for rest and the meeting of friends. Mrs. Hatfield has made a . charming hostess, and it is chiefly due to her ef forts that the cottage has been made homelike to so many during the session. ELIZABETH MYERS. a 8 ONE who has been a ih,i,irt A since 1876, the New Century club of Philadelphia, of which she la a charter member, having been formed during that great centennial exposition, Mrs. Blankenburg would advise women to join a federated club. In explanation she said: . "Clubs teach us to work with ethers; to tolerate and understand the opinions of those who differ from us as well as to sympathize with those who share our prejudices they teach us parliamentary law. and a sense of fair play. Justice and equality. They teach us civics and individual responsibility to the common wealth. In other words they are the stepping stone to social service, which, In its highest sensei means brotherhood and humanity." Referring to the vice commission of fifteen, which has been appointed by her husband, Mrs. Blankenburg said Its pec sonnet" Includes the city representative men and women, who are studying con ditions, social and economic endeavor ing to rid Philadelphia of. some of its most flagrant evils. Explaining the Good Government league which has been formed among the school children, Mrs. Blankenburg explained bow these wuaker youths and maidens are trained to a sense of civic partnership. "They are told that the public buildings, the streets, all of which make up municipal housekeeping, la actually theirs. That through the taxes they will pay as citizens, and which are now being paid for them by parents or guardians, that they are owners In all these Interests. Rever ence of the flag, and respect for city and state officials are also Incorporated In the league's training. Mrs. Blankenburg is an enthusiastic believer in woman suffrage. She hopes that In 1916 Pennsylvania's voters will be called upon to decide a constitutional' amendment enfranchising the state's women. But In the meantime Philadelphia women are not foregoing civic Inter ests, and Mrs. ,, Blankenburg paid high tribute to the anti-suffraglsts who she said "are perhaps even more Interested In city betterment, street cleaning and care of children than the women who want the ballot But," she added, "when called to speak before them J always say, "how much more- weight your wishes would have, how much time you could save, had you but the ability to say to the city fathers we, the voters, wish this measure.' " K K R Aj INTERESTING ceremony was participated In by the General Federation of "Women's" clubs at San Francisco last Sunday, when Mrs. Philip North Moore of Str Louis, president of the General Federation of Woman's clubs, planted-" green bay laurel tree on the site of the Panama Pacific exposition. Mrs. E. G. Dennls ston, president of the California local biennial board, conducted the ceremo nies and introduced Mrs. Moore who placed the ftrst shovelful of soli around the roots of a small jaurel. "It Is said in federation circles that we are to com to California every 10 years' said Mrs. Moore. "Ten years ago we were in Los Angeles in biennial convention and at that time the people of-St-Louis, men and women, were working . hard , for the- success - of the Louisiana purchase exposition. We therefore, understand the nature of the work you of San Francisco have before you. Today we have come to speak of the Panama-Pacific exposition, and It Is with pleasure and pride that we hear there Is to be no distinction between men and women in the great work. Only when men and women work to gether can great tasks be performed successfully, and it Is with this spirit we dedicate this tree. We will not wait 10 years to return to San Fran cisco, but will be here in 1916 and will look upon this tree and recall with pleasurable pride the participation of the general federation of women's clubs." X It K EMBLEMATIC of peace, though bear ing the familiar colors which men of the nation have fought over and died for, a new American peace flag, which was made In New York and shipped to Mrs. Alice Park, vice presi dent of the California Peace Boclety, was placed on' exhibition for the first time during the general federation conven tion In Pan Francfsco and was hung In the court of the palace hotel The flag was to have been shown for the first time at the frreat suffrage lunch at the Fairmont, July 4, but Mrs. Parks was afraid some of the dele gates might leave before that time and she was anxious that all should have a chance to see It. The emblem of pence differs from the American flag only In that It bears a broad Mlk bonier of pure white, ln dl'ative if truce. The flag proper Is about five fort long, the border around It being abo;,t a foot broad. This par ticular one Is a work of art It is of silk throughout and Its stars nd stripes are hand embroidered with the same shimmering material. It was aent to Mrs. Park by Mrs. Elmer Black, of New York, one of the best known peace worlfrs In the east and wag expressly Intended to be shown at this conven tion, for the General Federation of Women's flubs lias always shown great lntetfBt In the universal peace move ment.

' ; By William Philip Slmms. lOnited rnijwt Wire. - - Paris, July , SO.-Jf you would forever, make friends with the live good glycobacter. So declare the eminent Dr. Elie Metchnikoff, the Pasteur Insti tute scientist wJio has been delving for many years Into the mysteries of why men grow old. The human body, Dr. Metchnikoff, In common with scientists generally, ciares, is me Datuegrouna, nigm ana day, between the good and the bad microbes. When the bad microbes gain an engagement 'you're su4eick man? When the good mlcroBes turn the tables, you get well. But, on the other hand, If the bad microbes rout the good microbes so completely that they cannot rally, you're a goner and the under taker has to be called In to' take your measure. Such la your everyday life. Now, knowing that this terrible battle Is forever going on inside of one, Dr. Metchnikoff by a very simple line of reasoning, concluded that if the good microbes could be fed up, could be kep hale and hearty and always ready for a victorious scrap with the enemy,, man would naturally live longer than ordi narily he would. So he went to work to find out what food the good microbes like best. It proved to be sugar. Incidentally the white bearded sclen- tlst discovered that intestinal decompo sition was the principal reason for man's growing old. What would stop, or retard, this putrefaction? Everyone knows that acids combat decomposition; that's why housewives put a small quantity of vinegar on meats to keep them from spoiling. - We must do the same thing with the digestive tube; we must introduce Into the system an acid producing microbe. This was a simple enough operation for Dr. Metchnikoff, but he found that the microbes died of starvation, be cause, depending upon sugar for Its liv ing, they didn't get, in the lower In testines, sufficient sugar to keep them alive. So the bad microbes had a little difficulty in putting the feeble good microbes out of the business and con tinuing their nefarious work of provok ing putrefaction, senility and death. Dog Pro Tides Missing Microbe, Obviously the thing to do was to find either another species of warrior In the microbe world, or a food which would keep the one already discovered going. Sugar, absorbed by the system. Is not enough, so Dr. Metchnikoff discovered, in the Intestines of a dog, a lowly, ordi nary, canine dog, the very thing he was after; a microbe capable of producing the sugar required for the sustenance of the good microbes. This microbe, the dog's gift to man, is the "glyco- bactere." It forms Itself out of 'the starchy foods" potatled, efe. and quite easily reaches. In all Its fighting vigor, the lower Intestines, the seat of battle. The bad microbes, pitted against the good glycobactere, have no show what ever; and, other conditions being fa vorable, there Is no reason why man, partaking of enough substances produc ing this kind of microbe, should not live far beyond the ordinary mortal. "But why -do so . many dogs die young?" Dr. Metchnikoff was asked. "Although the microbe was discov ered in the Intestinal flora of the dog." the savant replied patiently, "it does not mean that alt dogs have them. To the contrary. The microbe Is vigor ously, and, sooner or later, successfully, combatted by the detestable regime fol lowed by most members of the canine tribe." . Anyway, thougTi the test has stilt to be applied to man, upon animals physi cally more or less similar to the human species. It haa- met, with considerable, success. And even through this dis covery man is7 not destined to live for ever, it has been pointed out that his general health may be considerably bet tered, for life thus .lengthened and his effectiveness Increased many fold. ' Dr. Metchnikoff is being likened to a modern Columbus, a sage who stands on the same footing with Pasteur, Dar win and Lister. 24 Philadelphia. Pa.. July 20. Mrs. Kate Jones and Mrs. Ellen Murphy, died with in 24 hours of each other. The police are endeavoring to find their relatives. Mrs. .Murphy, who was 65 years old was taken 111 several days ago and her 60-year-old sister was her devoted nurse Mrs. Jones left the room for a few moments, and when she returned she found her sister dead. The body was taken to the morgue, and the bereft sis ter was inconsolable, but her loneliness was brief. An hour later she crawled Into a vacant room and died. Where the women came from no one at the Vine street address knows. They appeared, say the lodgers, to be poor, but kept to themselves, and seemed devoted to each other.. It was said at the house, that the women were believed to have been wealthy at one time, but to have lost all the possessions except a deposit In the Philadelphia Savings Fund society. THRILLING RESCUE OF DROWNING BATHER Atlantic City, N. J., July 20. While bathing above Young's mlllon-dollar pier James Nichols was caught In what the guards call a "devil race." This is a combination of tidal and wave current complicated by the undertow. Nichols fought hard, but the more he struggled the worse was his plight, and as he was carried directly In among the piling to the pier, he called for aid every time he came to the surface, and finally attracted the attention of Frye a life guard. Frye .threw a can buoy ,and went out after Nichols, who by this time was in a very perilous position. In his haste to save the man Frye himself was grap pled by the "devil race," but managed to get away and to save Nichols, a sin gle-handed rescue of the most thrilling character.

It Is but an individual instance that proves the general good of the play park system. which Portland Inaugurated only a lit tle more than two years ago. Three yeara ago Helen Hall, now 16 years old, of 1036 Alblna avenue, waa an Invalid. She was so delicate that sus tained school attendance waa Impossible.

But he was surprised beyond bounds at the results. Method Is Simple. The method was simple. She simply exercised systematically; with energy, yet at no time trying to overdo herself. H. T.

One day she swung back and forth over the exercising rings 123 times without stopping. She was in the air, suspended by her arms, 40 minutes,, and this is said to be the champion record for any girl In this country. She mastered every other form of ex ercising equipment at the park.

Those who abhor sticky, greasy, shifty, streaked complexions should religiously avoid creams, powders and rouges these 'heated days. There's no need for thrm, anyway, since the virtues of mer collzed wax have become known. No amount of perspiration will produce any evidence that you've been using the wax. As it is applied at bedtime and washed off in the morning, the complex ion never looks like a make-up. Mei oollzed wax gradually takes off a bad complexion. Instead of adding anything to'imake it worse. It has none of the disadvantages of cosmetics and accom plishes much mc-re in keeping the com plexion beautifully white, aatlny and youthful.
