Thou sands of girls throughout the world would willingly testify If called upon as to how well that mission is performed. l'w cities the sii of Portland poa scss. a. more useful or comprehensive as sociation than does" this city. There Is no more positive proof of its splendid ' work and subsequent growth than the recent enlargement of the present build lnu. Althoileh the work in Portland Is comparatively ne-w. It has already grown to enormous proportions. The association began Its work in Portland April 1, 1901, in five rooms In the Macleay building, with Miss Hunt, tyfsg Saxton, a cook and five vol untetr Waitresses comprising the work ing eorpV In 1903 the association moved V to Sixth and Oak streets, where is oc- (3, cupied two floors, a boarding dejlart- I riwint for lrlrs hel'nar nnn of thi nrln- 1 clpal activities. In "'l 90S the present site,' at Seventh and Taylor streets, was piirrhased and the present' building erected. Within a few years the new building was outgrown, and several , months ago work was begun on the ,ad - dltlon of two stories. This work 'lias Jut been completed and tho work of finishing and furnishing Is now practl . cally done. Seventy-rive Persons How Employtd. By way of comparison It Is Interest ing to note that th working corps of . the association now numbers just ' 75 ' persons, includlrig-those connected with the East Side branch, at East Taylor f street and Grand avenue. The regular " association features are maintained at "this branch, and a specialty is also made "of the dining-room, whero from 60 to : 60 girls are served with lunch. each day. This branch has already reached its ca pacity limit, end Js in great nel of en larged accommodations. '. The building at the corner of Seventh and Taylor streets now comprises sir stories beside the basement, so It really gives the association seven complete floors, for be it known that the bae- mailt Is one of yie important partlrfet " : this association's work, for. here It la that the swimming pool Is located. Through the enlargement of the build ing and the consequent rearrangement of nearly all departments, Several ex 'cellept improvements have been made In .the ewinjming department. Twenty seven new dressing rogras have been .:. addedi ijow Wking a total of 90, while there ;ja re ra total of 418 lockers. Tho . swimming pool Is i742 feet In alee, and ' 8 feet .deep 'at the deepest point. The ! water Is' kept at a, temperature of 80 degrees, Showers are provided as a preventative for colds, and there la also an electric hair dryer, XKo water in tha po6f Is changed and ' the pool ' Theflrst floor, which ,is devoted to offices, reading room, parlor nd audi tor' . torivm, remains unchanged by the rear A rangement and enlargement, of the .'building, except for a general' freshen ing up by means of Varnish and catctv . ; , mine. -Th4 'second floor will still be the KV. vec 1 Portland Y.

I home of the cafeteria, the popular little green tearoom and the kitchens. The Upper Floors. . In response to the demand the room formerly used as a clubroom on the third floor has been enlarged, and made into a private gymnasium of goodly dl mlnslons and suitable equipment. On this floor, also, is to be found the spe cial pride of the general secretary, Miss James. This is the, spacious southwest corner, which has been fitted up into IS rooms, tor transient girls. "The walls and celling are tinted cream color, and the woodwork is all pure white. By this ingenious arrangement a girl is given a private room, with a comfort able bed, little shelves for her personal things, plenty of light and plenty of air for the very small sum of 25 cents. Adjoining this is another large room partitioned off, and so equipped that, a girl also has the opportunity for a sponge bath with her 25-ccnt accommo dation, A small but very comfortable rest room for those employed about, the building Is also located on this floor. On this and the fourth floors are to be found the other sleeping rooms, some with one bed, some with two, and some with more, according to lta sise. The rooms are all airy, sunny, , comfortably furnished, and, In accordance with Y. W. C. A. rules, are kept scrupulously clean. There are now accommodations for 33 girls; formerly but 12 could be accommodated. Through the kindness and generosity of Mrs. John A. Bell, a member of the board of directors, a room is being furnished In delft blue for the special accommodation of traveling Secretaries. Por Clubs and Classes. The various clubs and numerous classes of the association are amply pro vided for on tho fifth floor. Here also is located the employment bureau. The top floor Is given over to the do mestic science department, the sewing and millinery rooms, the clubrooras and a restroom for the secretaries. Two fine large kitchens, each accommodating classes of 16, are now the pride of the association. These are fitted up after the manner of the usual domestic science room, each pupil having her own gas burner, little table and a drawer for her utensils. Adjoining the kitchens are serving rooms, In which demonstration meals are served. The former capacity of the ono little kitchen was 14. Large pantries, allowing supplies to be bought in large quantities, are also a feature of this d jvartment. yhere aro 11 flourishing clulm within the association; some are for study and seme simply for entertainment. On club, is this year learning the art of chafing dish cookery, others are teach-' ing English to a class of Japanese, two are taking music lessons, one is studying dramatic expression, and still another is, studying correct etiquette of the busi ness girl. One of the clubs sent two delegates to the conference at Gear hart last year, and another outfitted a prospective bride, and then acted as ushers at the wedding. The millinery classes a.-e extremely popular, as are also the sewing classes, there being 11 classes in these two departments. Friends Aid institution. A room, very handsomely finished and furnished, will be known as the Mrs. H C. Campbell Memorial room, beingj.in memory of this well-beloved woman, who, during her life, gave so much of her time and thought to the advance ment of the association. The room is being finished In mahogany, and is to be furnished in keeping. A plate will be placed in one of the walls, and on the opposite one will be hung a portrait of Mrs. Campbell. This room will be used as a committee room. The association has' recently been most generously remembered by many of its friends. The little staterooms are con ing in for much thought on the part of the generously inclined, and already seven persons or organizations have sig nified their intention of making a gift of oO to the association to furnish one of these little rooms. Among these are the Berean clasa of business girls of the First M. E. church, the Congrega tional church, and a circle In the Con gregational church, The Business Girls' club of the First Congregational church Is planning to add some bright touches to the waiting room of the employment bureau. Miss Falling has signified her intention of furnishing two of the trav elers' aid rooms. These rooms are used for a special purpose, the travelers' ato. department co-operating with the police department in caring for girls' whlpse status has not been fixed by the au thorities, yet who seem to need protec tion and help. A local laundry has given the association $100 for furnishings. A Century Encyclopedia has recently been given the association by Mr. Patterson and Arthur Sawyer, son of the late Mrs. Joseph Sawyer of Boston, one of the four women who, in 186G, met and or ganized the first Young Women's Chris tian association, has recently presented the association with a fine portrait; of his mother. (Br tbt International Ntwt Smice.) t Yknna, Nov. U. Twenty years of a remarkable evolution in the history of moving pictures,- front the day Thomas Edison startled the world with tils pro JeoUng klnetoscope to the present-day wonders in film production, are shown at the ' International Kino exposition which has 'been opened here It is the first time .that the progress of moving pictures Is shown In, a thor oughly complete and instructive man ner. In the historic departments are shown the primitive devices made' of wood from which 60 feet of film were rolled by hand 20 years ago, and which were regarded as the wonder of the century by the people all over the earth. And the cheapest of those instruments, in those days, coat 11000. Now there are films several miles lung, and the best of apparatus costs less than the original primitive one. The exposition demonstrates the re markable change In mlmio acting, un folded by the invention of moving pic tures. It gives statistics, too, that are highly" Interesting. Just to give a few figures: The International film Industry pro duces annually 375.000,000 feet of film which are thrown upon the canvasses of 12,300 theatres, with a personnel of 120, 000 employes, and are viewed by 2,000, 000,000 people. The oldest firm, Pathe Freres, who, in 1896, employed only 150 men, now employ over 10,000 people tn the production of films that grew from 250,000 feet annually to the present pro duction of 170,000,000 feet per year. The annual receipts of all moving pic ture shows are estimated at 200,000, 000 The piece de resistance at the expo sition is a perfected "reporting cinema tograph," which shows upon canvas any event three hours after Its occurrence. In these Yooms, where the moving picture industries of the whole world are represented, may be seen the evi dence of the progressive work of the various nations; France im found to be still the leader In the production of films, with America as a close competi tor for. second place. Considerable work Is done In Germany and Austria along the same lines, while the northern coun tries, represented by Denmark, are forg ing to the front with astonishing ra pidity. It is shown that great authors and playwrights are Invading the new field with their creations in every country. One of the best known German authors is represented with two of his latest works. "The Crazy Thereslna" and "The Secret of the Great Tenor." The field is one of unlimited possibilities. Sicily has nearly BOO active sulphur mines. r "& nTiiiiiMiiin T - M Dr. W. A.
