The Tacoma clubs, have endorswl Mrs.
Frederick V. Keator as their candidate.
Mrs. Carl Morinse having declined to
let her name bo used. Mrs. Keator Is
the wife of Right Reverend F. W. Keat
or, bishop of the Olympian diocese. She
Is president-of Aloha club, one of the
oldest, largest and most powerful of the
Tacoma clubs, and has long been Identi
fied with club and musical activities.
There is no question but that she will
be a strong candidate. Thus far there
seems little possibility of Tacoma split
ting, so universal is Mrs. Keator's
strength, and what effect this will have
on the situation' In Seattle and other
cities is not known, , '
It Is also rumored that Belllngham
will seek the presidency. As It has
never fallen to Belllngham, It Is thought
by some that there will be a sentiment
to rive the office to territories hereto

Scholarship Loan Fund.
Among the many activities of Feder
ated club women, which are. little known
to the general public, is the loan schol
arship fund; with which to aid worthy
girls struggling to get an education and
to whom a little help at the right mo
ment means success Instead of failure,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer. The plan
has been most carefully thought' out,
o that Us support will not be a burden
to any olub woman, and a per capita
tax' of but 6 cents has been made. It is
hoped to raise a permanent fund of
I50Q0. to be loaned to girls without in
teres t and with no security, except the
recommendation of a member of a Fed
erated club or a teacher where the girl
has been or expects to be a teacher.
The 'committee en scholarships, under
that most efficient chairman, Mrs. Alton
H. Smith of Cleveland, who has been
tireless in endeavor to raise this fund,
reports contributions since the Inception
of the project In October, 1910, amount
ing to 1909.44. There has been loaned
to eight girls, In. sums ranging from
50 to 75, $795. Balance on hand,

Social Hygiene.
. The Oregon Alumnae association held
ah Interesting meeting yesterday after
noon at the Oregon Hotel. The principal
address was delivered by Dr. W. T.
Williamson, - whose topic 'was "Social
Hygiene." - "
Referring to mattera under , control
of the women It was pointed out that
the harmf ulness in the dictates of fash
Ion consisted rather in the rapidity and
extent ot change than in the actual re
sult presented. Almost any fashion If
persisted In would become commonplace
and without particular meaning or
suggestion but the kaleldoscopio varia
tions arrested attention and at times
created undue Interest. Again In work
ing along the lines of social endeavor
be said it Is well to bear in. mind that
results are being steadily and continu
ously secured and not to be looked for
exclusively at the termination of any
given campaign. It Is the agitation and
teaching, not the consequent seta of
rules and forms ot legislation that
accomplish the good. In advocating ex
tended knowledge of social matters,
comprising the young and the old. It
was not claimed that knowledge was
the preventive of evil, but that .. it
changed the form of battle by permit
ting the person assaulted to be fore
warned. In these matters, as In fact
In all social and political matters, it is
essential that the sexes shall work to
gether and avoid, aa far as :may be,
irystallsatlon ot sentiment from one
view point alone. The necessity of edu
cating children from the earliest period
of life along these lines should be done
largely by the mothers.

That the Oregon "Woman's Press club
has some very clever women among its
members, has been proved by the recent
contest for writing plays which the
club has Just held. Cash, prises were
put up for the best play of regulation
length and type, for a one act vaudeville
sketch and for a moving picture scen
ario. The women entered into the con
test with much enthusiasm and as a
result some really very clever plays
were submitted. The prize for the best
regular length play was awarded to
Mrs. Nathan Harris for her play, "The
Tie That Binds," a synopsis of whlck
follows:
A young married couple adopt a child
which proves to be the cause of their
drifting apart. Through Jealousy, pride
and ambition the young woman throws
herself into high social life and ex
citing business enterprises and does
not even stop to , defraud an , estate , of
which she was made trustee. The hus
band lives In his own dreamy ideallstio
way and finds solace In the prattle of
the child, the naive sayings 01 tne girt
and then the companionship of tne
woman to which the girl has grown. A
wall grows up between husband and
wife until they become merely a
quaintances. A climax is brought about
through the entrance of a third party
who by her Intriguing, shows the wif
that pure and noble thoughts triumph
over Jealousy and ambition. Man and
wife then make up.
Vaudeville Honors Divided.
Honors for the vaudeville sketch were
equally divided between Mrs. Carlln
De Witt Joslyn and Mrs. 'Berths T.
Voorhorst "The First of the Week" is
the name of Mrs. Joslyn's little playlet,
the story of which follows:
A young wife is discontented with
her vocation in life, simply as hbuse
keeper; .the, husband Intimates that
she doesn't manage her work properly.
She therefore suggests that they change
places for a day he assuming her du
ties and she looking after his busi
ness at the office, he being a lawyer.
He, of course, is beside himself trying
to play cook, attend to the door and
telephone, eta, while she. with her wo
man's intuition, persuades one Of her
husband's clients to give up the' idea of
divorce and return to his home. The ex
perlence teaches them a lesson and
each is willing to return to the former
every day life.

The setting and text of the sketch
or scenario "The Poet," by Mrs. Edith
Conard Beale reveals a rare poetic na
ture. The scene opens in a village li
brary, where a country youth seeks
guidance in the art of expressing the
visions, songs and sunshine the poetry
in his soul. The kindly librarian rec
ognizes budding genius and- sends the
youth. forth to the city to confer with
wise men and women whom, she tells
him, "long to help in the spontaneous
development of true poets."
The scene changes, the country boy is
shifted from one librarian to another,
from one tutor to another, until he at
last the principal of a modern high
school is asked to take him in hand and
deaf with "the strange lad who Is seem
ingly mentally weak." Fortunately the
principal understands the lad, he also
spent bis boyhood days in the country,
where he dreamed dreams and saw
visions, and his sympathy wins from
the poet this expression:
"I hear songs of a life that Is;
A life to which this eartff life Is but a
mask, a symbol, a veil.
I hear the song of myself, the poet,
For I, the poet, see through this veil,
I read the symbol; ,
I hear the song of the mystic,
For whom the veil is rent, the mask
is off."
"I dream of the day when we shall all
be so attuned to goodness, that
our experiences can only reveal
to us our divinity."
Needless to say the high school prin
cipal takes the poet under his wing and
directs his development
The scenario was written with the
idea of the Ben Greet manner f pro
duction, but Is also adaptable for the
combined speaking and moving picture
production.
The rather, realizing me Dona 01
sympathy and love between the Alaskan
Indian of the Raven tribe and his little
"Coy-yoy" as he calls the girl, reveals
the secret of the birth of his supposed
daughter. The real parents were a young
Indian couple who had befriended and
cared for the "paleface people" In the
mining camp, and had sacrificed their
own lives to save the man and woman,
who." in. gratitude, adopted the Indian
babe of. the Uagle tribe and brought
her ur as their own. The playlet closes
with a witching Indian dance designated
as the betrothal flight. '
It Is perhaps suggestive of the innate
desire to delve In that of which one
hH been deprived by circumstances and
environment, that the playlet of Mra!
Voorhorst,' a business woman, sshould
have to do with music, and the pro
duction of Mrs. C De Witt Joslyn, a
singer, composer and teacher of mffslc,
should deal with business routine. -
