"I am come that tlipy might have
Ilft,'and that they might have it more
abunUiintly."
With these slgnlf loant words' of tl.i-Muntei-
as its motto, the Young Women's
Christian association )ms circled the
globe 'on its errand of love and mercy.
The' initials Y. W. l A. nilKht. with
equal appropriateness, stand for Your
Welfare Considered Alwaysj since the
mission of the association Is embodied
In the two little words to help. 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

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

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.
