V' , Portland, Jan. 29. A normal mother loves all her children with the same in tensity. Her love should.be so unself ish that each child finds Just the amount of love tiecessary to hold him to tier. There is a sacredness connected with the birth of the first child which, does not pertain to succeeding births. The ambition of the mother is usually focused on the first born as in him,, or her, she hopes to see all of her early dreams fulfilled. The wayward child or the Invalid calls for and receives more protective love. As the mother of three children, two boys and a girl, I can testify that my love tor the oldest, a boy, is not one bit deeper than that for my baby girl; and the second boy, not being strong, calls for more protective love than the others need. If asked to part with any one of them, I should be' in the same dilemma os the parents in the old familiar poem "Which Shall It Be?' y MRS L. U FROST, 23 Fifty-third - Second ' Prise '' winner.'"" ' ; Forest Grove, Or.,-The love of a mother for her, child is an instinctive thing. . It goes forth to sustain him through life.: She has gone down into the valley of the shadow of death for this hew soul, and be it that of boy or girl, the love is there and it Is con stant It i only when her child stum bles Or is la danger that the love springs most violently forth. . The mother who clasps to her breast .the subnormal chlld-r-the blind, the maimed, the mentally deficient seems to lavish upon It. a love she knows for no other, but it Is only because the need is greater that the manifestation is m.ore fervid. As her boy and girl grow older the time arrives when, though she can keep her daughter under her protecting care and sharing her confidences, the son goes out to meet his special temp tations and to fight his own " battles. Then it is that the mother is said to love her boy better than she loves her girL But it Is not so. Her love leaps forth to keep him. or, if he must go, to uphold and sustain him. H E. INLOW. "Mother love! - Heaven bornl Who can define It?" writes one Of the hun dreds of mothers who contributed ar ticles tft The Journal's "Mother love" contest, which began last Monday and ended yesterday. And that is exactly what the Judges, as Individuals, exclaimed laBt night at the conclusion of their task of passing on th scores and scores of letters from mothers, fathers, sons and daugh ters. , But they finally aelected the prixe winners, who In their opinion wrote the best articles in answer to the. Question ."Does a mother love her boys or her girls the.betert Not however until a numbet1 . of hot" argtiments were had, because , the judges found themselves confronted by stacks of splendidly writ ten letters and it was not easy to agree on a scant seven. v . J The majority of the contributions came from mothers, the old fashioned. the new fashioned, the scientific, who attempted to analyze their feelings to ward their children ana the motners who only know tbey love and make no attempt to learn the reason why. . Uore Jfcoye Sons Most. There are so many beautiful thoughts expressed, and arguments advanced that The Journal will soon publish excerpts from some of them in one of its Sun day editions. They are documents well worth preserving, in that they present numerous reasons why some mothers favor their girls, others' their boys, and still others divide their affections equally. . The majority, however, candidly ad mit one of two things; they either favor their sons, laying special stress on the eldest; or they love all their children with equal . devotion. . A few declare they love their girls the more. Divers reasons are advanced for the stand they have taken. Mothers who favor their boys declare generally that boys need the tenderest care to protect they from temptations, and to subdue their more forcible' natures. The girls. they say, remain more at tome, and nat uraily do not need the same amount of care. "' Whether these opinions reflect the NAMED MEMBER OF CITY PARK BOARD T. Morris Dunne. T.

This will be entirely in an ticipation and descriptive of the real trip which five tralnloads Of the Mlchl ganders are to take, leaving Portland June 27, and arriving in time for the National Michigan reunion at Belle Isle Park in Detroit. July 8. Strange as It may seem the plan for the Michigan reunion, which Involves the return of former Michigan people from every other state, did not start in Michigan, nor yet in Detroit, but in Portland. i A year ago the Michigan society was organized with 22 of the 4000 former Michigan people who live in Portland as charter members. The membership Is now 800. Mrs. Harriett Hendee, the secretary, originated the Idea that It would be a great and satisfying thing to take back a group of Michlganders feelings of the great majority of moth ers, the Judges are in no position to say. -Their work was to select what. they believed to be the best articles. without bias, and they have done their best. . The Frlse Winners. . The first prlee was won by a wo man. The second by a mar. ui me re maining 1 five best articles, all were won by married women. The winner of the first prixe, 110. is Mrs. L. L. Frost of 6633 -nny-imra avenue, Southeast, Portland. H. E. Inlow, of Forest Grove, Or., wins the second prise, $5 in gold. Those winning two tickets each, good for the Baker theatre next week when the play '"Mother" is staged, are: Mrs. Q. H. Fowler, Woodstock sta tion; Mrs. Ed Colgan, 401 First strerf. Portland; Mrs. Martin .Hansen, 544 Second street; Mrs. M. C. 'Howard,' IMS East Nineteenth street, South, and Mrs. M. C. LeDoux, of 191 Simpson street. The winners of first and second prize each took the stand that a mother loves her boys and girls the same; three of the five expressed the-same opinion, while two admitted a leaning toward their 'boys the oldest especially. The cash prizes are held by the con test editor and will be delivered to the winners on proper identification. Those winning tickets to the Baker theatre will receive ' their prizes by mall. In conclusion, the Judges request that their thanks along with The Journal's be extended to those who participated in the contest. The contestants' inter est was certainly appreciated, and the only regret attached is that no more prises could have been awarded. There were many splendid letters received and the race was close.- I ON REAL LIVE CARP Live babies, .live chickens, dogs and other things have been shipped through the new parcel post system of the gov ernment In other places throughout the country, but last Wednesday Portland postal officials had their first exper ience with a shiDttient of this kind.

Today, with the Journey nearly five months distant, two solid tralnloads of people who once uvea in Michigan, have made reservations.

Michigan societies in other states learned of it They com menced to organize special train excur sions so that they might all get back to Michigan at the same time.

The parcel post statutes prohibit tne? sending of fresh meats or quicaiy per ishable goods of any kind through the mail for a greater distance than ap proximately 150 miles, the limit of the first tone, but the fish got by the clerk somehow. It was taken down to sta tion E at Fifth and Glisan streets where a clerk detected the nature of the con tents of the "parcel." Prepared to find a big piece of steak or fresh meat of a similar nature, sup erintendent of Mails Halloway was greatly astonished on beholding a big fjsh. Its gills were opening and clos ing and-in other ways It showed that It was alive, although very weak. There was only one course of action for Mr. Holloway to pursue. The paper in which the fish was wrapped was saved ?hd Is to be sent to the-Seattle address. The fish was taken out into the vacant lot Just north of station E and burled. ' " The carp has a reputation for. tenac iously clinging to life when out of water for several hours. From the streams of the Mississippi valley in winter the fish are packed in ice and shipped in that, manner, often being on the road for several days. At the end of the Journey th- fish are thrown Into tuba or buckets of water to be thawed out and in 10 or 15 minutes become very lively.
