After noon costumes which we made with removable tunic will be found most practical, for in. this way they can be worn oft the street With the tunic Jack ft or in the house with Just the skirt and a batiste or chiffon blouse. The sketch shows a tailing costume made in this manner with the- remov al) tunic-Jacket built on lines of Rus sian blouse persuasion. Jade green charmeuse is used in its fashioning, the only trimming being some heavy hand embroidery done on . the blouse In self tone and rows of small silver button a 1th loops Of silver soutache braid. The blouse la rather loose and cut with dropped shoulders, Into which the long sleeves are set under a corded warn. A little below the-elbow tht sleeve is dart-fitted, leaving a little puff of gathers at the top of the dart, and the dart-seam is covered by a row of -ha silver buttons.

W. Hill. Since the Mann white slave law went ltiio effect In 119 Oregon federal au thorities have established a record in the materjfff prosecutions. In less than three year's 41 indictments have been re turned fry Lnl ted States grand juries, the indictments resulting in two ac auittala; five dismissals arid 42 convlc tionsv,"; Oregon stands first among all tho states in the number of years im prisonment Impoeed and second only to Michigan in th number of convictions secured. , And yet those In position to ' know say . that government activity against the white alavera touches only one phase of a big moral problem af fecting the welfare of girls. - , Charles PE Pray, special .agent of the department Of Justice, who has had charge of most of the investigations, eys the purpose of the government, limited a it is to cases Involving in terstate traffic, is to put the white slaver out of business on the theory , that nothing good. can be said of him. But hampered by constitutional limita tions; the national government is un able to strike at the root of the evil. It cannot step in and protect the girl before she has gone wrong, except by putting as many white slavers as pos sible behind the bars. Waiter H. Evans, who before becom ing district attorney of Multnomah county . was for five years assistant Vnited ' States district attorney. 1n which position he prosecuted many of the white slave cases, Said he was con vinced that neither stat. nor federal laws alone can solve the problem of keeping girls from going wrong. The solution, according to Mr. Evans, lies with, the parentaState and federal gov ernments can assist by imprisoning; un desirable persons, thus removing them from society and furnishing an object lesson to others of their kind. !!3Ve haojntoJopkwl Jthablior rence upon the white Slaver," said Mr. Kvang, "but when you come right down to it, I don't know as there is very much, difference between the man who Induces a girl tfi lead an immoral life , o that he may live upon her earnings, and the man who leads a girl into im morality to satisfy hi wn desire. But t!ere may be a distinction without a difference. 1 am not speaking of what may be classed as youthful indiscre tions, but of men of mature years who deliberately take advantage of inex perience. Parents Blamed Again. - "This office will do what It can to punish offenders and will cooperate with the federal authorities in white slave matters, but the welfare of the girt lies primarily with ; the parents. Girls are allowed to get away from their mothers In thought, conduct and; con fi- nenree, " i -setaom get tmid of a-case-where I do not feel Justified In lectur ing the parents. In some communities : more attention is paid to livestock than to glrlsv -The case of two 16-year-old girls brought into this office last week are to the point. , Each had been allowed to keep company with an older metr, the parents falling to exercise any sort of supervision. Both girls are to be- ome mothers, and when I talked plain ly to- the mother of one girl her reply was, TiVell, I thought he was a nice Juan.' ' Parents have no right to take anything for granted. They need not be auspicious of their daughters, but .Jliey must recognise the fact that young girls are Impressionable and lack ex perience." Mr. Evans said that the minimum wsge law may minimize the danger of soma girls going wrong and thus bar , coming the prey of white slavers, but Ills observation convinced him that there is Just as good a sense of morality and decency among wage earners as there in among any other class. He is for punishing the deliberate girl wrecker -ua full extent of the law, not in the hope of bettering tha individual Dili's , lot, but as a means of ridding the community of men dangerous to it While all girls who 'go wrong do not bpcome victims of the .white slaver, he ctrjxvnda upofl the young," the lmpres xionftble and tee inexperienced making a goua to that of a class of men with morals so perverted it'hat they ppar ently don't know when they are doing wrong.' Tfle immoral class ia recruited in various ways. Take the young wo man of weak character Whose shame has become known. She sinks from sight and must suppe-n herself. Oreed for gaudy finery and lack of moral forea to protect their womanhood ac count for many. . "The white slaver's standing among people of his kind depend upon the number of women he delivers, and so he cannot rely entirely upon the easy victims, lie frequents public places Where young girls are. allowed to go unattended and there rounds up re cruits. He employs various metheds, all based pn the plan of first getting the girl urcompromlse herself.' Mr. Pray said he had never heard of a case in Oregon of a girl being forced into immorality in the manner recently testified to before the Illinois vice com mission, out he has Known of many girls being held as hostages because of debts contracted for fine clothes when they entered upon their new lives. "convictions or white slavers are made difficult by limitations of the law, a general understanding among the women wai mey wm lose caste if tney furnish evidence, and because the white slavers are becoming more shrewd in their Operations," he said. "They close the mouth of .the wooit by marrying them, tney no 4 longer travel together and lit many .ways -make It a tedious Job to get evidence that will convict. Jealousy is one of the strong motives we have to Induce women to testify, atid w have secured a number. of -convic tions by feeding the Jealousy of women." 4 Mr, Pray said that ost of the white slave convictions had Involved Women already fallen, but he cited a few cases where the, girls were virtuous before they fell under the wiles of th white Slavers. - -. ... While Mr. Pray and Mr. Evans agreed that it is practically impossible to stamp out white slavery under present condi tions affecting the lives of girls, they did not agree as to th better method of regulation. Mr. Pray urged a re stricted district with the sale of In toxicating liquor absolutely prohibited anywhere within the district or adjacent to it. Mr, Evans objected to a restricted district oh the ground-that it Would prove a breeder of graft and give, land lords a monopoly or a prontabie busi ness.' ' --- ; v. - Progressiveness of Richmond District Is Reflected in Educational Institution. If the Richmond school continues to grow as it has done the puet year, there will be an Urgent need for at least four new classrooms next fall. The school was started four year ago with an at tendance of 80 pupil. Today the at ptmlance is 600. - ; j I . JThe progressiveness of th neighbor- . Ijfood is the cause of the remarkable growin or me scnopi. up 10 nace sireec improvements, good, substantial resi dences and a general spirit of civic pride are the principal features of the Richmond district. :. The Richmond school boasts a very flourishing Mother-Teachers' , circle which work in harmony with the prin cipal and teacher In all matters per taining to school work. It has done splendid work In bringing the teachers and pupils closer together, and their In fluence is remarkable throughout the district. The ejub , consists of more than 100 members., ' , Athletic work plays a prominent part In the school life. The boys have Or ganized a baseball team and are prac ticing dally, so that they -may be real pennant contenders in the Inter, scholastic league. The girls organised a basketball team yesterday and are very enthusiastic. An outdoor basketball court has been Installed. , Garden work Is creating more Interest Stjpresent than anyjother one branch of the school work. Tflorelnair-lO0"boyB and girls have already signed VP tot tha garden contest. In addition to tha regu lar school garden contest it 1 planned to have a local exhibit at the school. In connection with the school garden work, the classes are now organizing agricultural clubs. Principal O. R. Din widdle cava that the cardan work will be held on the most practical lines, and not only will the pupil be required to do their work thoroughly, but they will also be required to write composition on th work. He believe that the com positions will be the most effective cart Of the garden work. The school has an orchestra of four pieces, which plays at all school func tions and entertainments. It doe sDlen- did work and help materially in the social life of the school. Another musi cal feature of the school is the music classes which meets every Monday noon. .Far one half hour every Monday the puplll gather in the assembly hall to sing ongs. Every pupil In the school participates In the singing. - we are trying to make the chool' the center of all social and blvle func tions," said the- principal. O. R. Din widdle, yesterday, i "Tht movement i now being carried on , from coast to coast, and it is right that it should be, for the 'public school" la the logical meeting places for the cltlaens of any community.

'One most know thlnas from the In side herore they can really be inter ested in them,"- answered Mrs. Dur ham.i"And as you. well know there is no one who gets on the Inside of things as does the newspaper writer. I was doing the yellowest sort of newspaper work for the Scrlpns people of 8t. Louis got sent, out on all the awful, harrow ing fhingScimaginable, because the city editor had an Idea that I could write what Is known In newspaper parlance s 'sob stuff.' . It was during those years that I saw so much that was sickening and heartrending. I used to wish that I might do something to' help better conditions, but my onDortunitv didn't coine just then-even for me to do my little share." V "How did it finally come?'.' I queried, "I had long wanted to visit Orciron and so a few months before the open- ng or tne Lawj and Clark exposition U-calledonOo vernor FoLk andAked him for a special 'Commission) to repre sent Missouri atr the exposition. I must tell you on what conditions I got the promise of the appointment. Gov-1 ernor Folk worships at the slyine of a I good story and 'so When I called upon him lie told me 'that his. appointments were all going to the people who Could tell good stories, 'And the One that tells the bBt stories will ' get the best i polntmentl,' he declared. 'So Mlas Walker you come back to me in a month and tell me three Morles, and if they are good enough I will con sider the appointment.' , "Of course the Idea was absurd and doubly so In my case because I rnever could tell a funny story and the gov ernor knew it. But I determined to live up to the requirements lnaofar as possible, so on the appointed day I made my appearance at the capita) and told my three stories. Th governor never mbed a muscle, but I well, I got the appointment and so came to Oregon and I havXbeen here most of the time since. "And now that I have my home here and have my time to do as I like with It, I am beginning to realise some of those hopes that had ihelr beginnings la my newspaper days." Active xxplift Work.

Recently she he been made an as sistant secretary for the Playground and Recreation association of America and it was she who Inspired Portland's first annual Easter egg hunt and as sisted materially in carrying ;lt oat In speaking of the great playground and recreation movement with which she has Just identified herself, Mrs. Durham said: "The work of the Playground and Recreation association of America has Out of Mouths of Babes Teacher "Now, Tommy, what change takes place when water freezes?"

"The recreation movement has grown out of a realisation of th,e necessity for a nation-wide concern In the play Ufa of the people for the sake of the health and morality of the nation. The people who are making the right against tuberculosis, those who are pleading for social purity and those who seek to lessen Juvenile delinquency and adult crime, are all finding that the surest way to prevent disease and crime Is io provida ample opportunity for wholesome recreation.

"The Idea of the recreation movement Is not to prohibit people from doing things that they should hot do, but to provide opportunity for them to do the things they should do fer their own best development. A child doe not play in the gutter if there Is a clean sand pile available, and the adolescent boy does not 'shoot craps' in a back "al ley If there Is a baseball field On Which it is his privilege to play.

"There has never been a period in history, when the play spirit was so lit tie considered.
