' THE ' OREGON t SUNDAY JOURNAL; PORTLAND,' SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST- -17, 1913, 5 ' Women's Department Formed N organization recently formed, A and which will doubtless be heard from in the work of women' JH clubs this next season is the , Woman's Department of the Rosa , City Park club. Two months ago the1 women members Of this nelghborho&t organisation met at the clubhouse and decided to form a department for their own special endeavor. Mrs. Leon W. ' Hyde was elected president; Mrs, Sllva, vice-president; Mrs. V. G. Ripley, treas urer, and Mrs. Samuel Silverman, secre tary. Meetings were arranged for every second and fourth Monday of the month at the clubhouse. -'All the women of the Rose City Park club are eligible to Join the department. During the past two months of its ex istence the club has confined its efforts to social affairs, such as bridge and "600" parties and unique fancy dress teas for those who do not play cards. The idea primarily was to bring the women of the club together, but the am bition of the officers at the present time Is to introduce some courses of study and eventually join the ranks of the other, women's clubs of the city in the state federation. It K K - Woman's Exchange Board Meets. The Woman's Exchange held a board meeting the early part of the week, Miss Henrietta Failing presiding. Among other important business matters, they discussed the publication of their new cook book, which will oe ready for dis tribution soon. This is the latent, de vice, of the Kxchange to raise money for their good works. '" f M He Got Results. v A young husband, resident in Chicago, went fishing for a' housemaid. He cat his hook in the classified columns of a Chicago newspaper, for whomsoever might blto. Experience had taught him that an unusual catch depends upon unusual methods. So he flavored 'his ) bait with a bit of his own personality. The ad, read as follows: A REAL HOME AND LIBERAL PAY TO A REALLY CAPABLE GIRL. Our apartment is in Rogers Park, near the lake. It has six rooms and two baths. One detached room and bath for you. Our family consists of myself, my wife and a brand new baby. When we choose we have guests; but on the average they return our hospital, lty; so you break even on the work. You can do our work, except the wash ing and ironing; or do them and have the extra money. If you are honest, earnest and capa ble, and want a place where you will be appreciated, and whore the work isn't an all day Job, provided you know how to do It, and then do it, Just telephone Kogers Park 7942, and arrange to come out and look us over. He landed the girl. H H H Central W. C. T. U; Interesting reports of the work among the sailors were made at the Wednes day meeting of the W. C. T. U. by Mrs. K. Dalglelsh and Mrs. E. H. Roper. Mrs. Roper has furthered the work of the union in cities of Nova Scotia, in Boston and in Portland for years. She askd the different unions to furnish flowers for ships In port. Mrs. M! LT T. Hidden urged the necessity of more first hand knowledge of the conditions of working girls In the city. Mrs. H. M. Clinton, a former member of the union, and her three daughters were guests of the aft ernoon. It K It Kitchenette System. Talk about standardizing and effl- clency!" said the brand new husband, "My wife has things down to a system In our house, so that if a thoughtless egg taken one second too long to cook, there is a strict investigation at. ohc. And that was why the lltle country bride had time for many other things and yet served up meals that made her husband chortle with glee as he remem bered the past, and al) ne had swallowed In the name of food. In the first place, the little bride took five minutes to plan her campaign, sue did not rush blindly at whatever came to her hand first. If a vegetable was to be boiled and put away, later to be fried and made Into salad, that vegetable was prepared first and put on to cook Meanwhile she did other things. The actual cooking of a meal seldom takes long. Often the dinner was .made ready In the morning and each thing put Into its pot or pan ready for cooking and set in the handy window-ieage dox Then tbe little bride could go out to luncheon and to tea, eome back and put on her kitchenette -apron which was a wonderful loose overall and get dinner In half an hour.' aalad Bturrs were usually washed' as sodn. as they came Into the . house, wrapped in a wei ciom and put away in the cold box. They are wonderfully crisp arter a good, long chilling after being cleaned. K t K For Serving Ice Cream. There are modes even In the serving of ice cream. At present macaroon dbs kets, wafer boxes, and a disguising cov ering of lady cake are among the most popular ways of serving this always ac ceDtable dessert. To mai'.e macaroon baskets dip the 'outer edges of five almond macaroons In the syrup obtained rrom melted gran ulated sugar. The first macaroon is used for the bottom of the basket, and the others nrejtuck together to form a ring about It, exactly like the burr bas kets wo used to iruke when we were children. Fill- this receptacle with ice cream and sprinkle around macaroons on top. ' Wafer boxes are put together in ex actly the same way. Square wafers are the most desirable, two being used for the bottom and one at each end, stand log upright. The Ice eream should be cut into blockB that fit Into the frame. Pink and white Ice cream, garnished with cherries, make an. attractive color combination. n H H A Hallroom Library. One woman has converted a hallroom Into the daintiest of tiny libraries. On one side li a pet of shelves for books The walls wre covered ,wlth blue damask of very delicate shade. The celling. Is blue, with- a conventional pattern of ' white trailing vines drooping gracefully down to half length. The rug is delft blue, and the"" room cuntalns one chair k upholstered In, delft blue brocade.' A small mahogany table holds a telephone ' and a blue and brass writing outfit. A mall lamp hangs from the conter of the v ceiling, and It has a blue and rose glass shade with crystal pendants. !'hor - lighted, It throws a beautiful glow ove-, , the little reading room. ' '",;. ; , Removing fcliine From Cloth. t . : There are several methods used for removing shine on black cloth, but the Chest one Is to take a piece of new black , crinoline and wet it, then lay-over the ehinjr tpott -.This- should be covered with a dry cloth and then be pressed with a very hoi Iron. .. If the Iron la hot enough, it will make the crinoline adhere to the yberge. Yon must pull the former away quickly asyou would arplaster, and this will raise the nan of the -serge so that it looks dull, again, r The shine Is cre ated by the nap being pressed down so flat, so It will be seen the usual plan of rubbing with a liquid is only a tempo rary remedy; It removes the gloss, but the nap is sua flattened. K tt - at "V, Baby's V Blanket. Every little baby requlrea-from, three to six blankets, f lTo fashion these, pur chase a yard of silk Tlannel - and em broider It-with twisted embroidery silk. white, pink, or blue. , . When stamping the' blanket, transfer the design to the reverse side of the up per half, so that when the blanket Is folded oyer the design will ' come right side' out A more. elaborate design should be embroidered in the upper cor ner; for Instance, a wreath containing a small monogram or a spray of flowers, Scallop tbe edges with a heavier twisted silk, and Instead of padding In the usual manner, take from 8 to 12 single strands o&Jtarnjfcg cotton and run this along the soe-t.iirpi "buttonhole stitching over it. This will prove an easy and successful method of padding. H Do's and Don't for Neighbors. Don't be the sort of neighbor that will start every one else in the community on a run In the opposite direction when he "sees' you coming." . ' Don't consider It a waste of time to give a little attention to the study of the true science of neighboring. . Don' allow your curiosity concerning your neighbor and his affairs to get the better of your good Judgment and good manners. Don't call on your neighbor simply to "get a line" on her, to take an Inventory of her clofhlng'and household goods, and her shortcomings. 6 st Irish Point Lace From Turkey. (By tbe International Newt Serrlc.") London, Aug. 18. Who, in America, would suspect that, most of the "Irish point" lace Imported to that country comes from Asiatic Turkey? According to a consular report re ceived here, the agent of an Irish firm employs several hundred women and girls at Aintab, Turkey, to work by hand linen handkerchiefs, and lace for sale mostly in America. LIFE IN APARTMENTS No Tammany Chief Is More Supreme Than the Janitor in His Basement. By Carlton Teneyck. ( Tl Til Pmh f mmmA UTIm . New York, Aug. 16. New York women have not yet got the ballot, but they know a lot about politics. Many of the matrons of Manhattan could teach their husbands a lot about wire-pulling and influence and the like. Politics In a flat Is Just as exciting as politics in a ward; and when it comes to maneuver ing and scheming for favors, the as eembly district has riothtngon the apart ment noose, politically speaking. The "district leader" of the New York apartment house Is the Janitor, and no Tammany sachem is more powerful in his ballwick, nor more sought after. The Janitor Is the domestic arbiter of the place. The why-nees of this condi tlon Is that in the modern Tower-of Babel beehives that hundreds of thou sands of Oothamites call home, there are many conveniences and appliances that are used in common, such as the dumb-waiters and the like. Everybody wants to use these things first, of course, and hence the politics. One of the best examples of politics in a flat is to be found In the older houses in the downtown residence dis tricts, whlcp have common laundries In the basement. In the more modern apartments uptown laundry tubs are In each apartment, and, the biggest bone of contention is thus removed. In some houses the days are allotted by floors Monday for the first floor; Tuesday for the second, end so on. Oth er Janitors give tenants their choice of days alphabetically, that Is, the Ander sons, Adamses, or Abrahams can waBh on Monday; the Browns, or Bennetts on Tuesdays, etc. In other houses the mat ter is settled 1-y seniority; the tenants have their choice according to the long est term of residence In the apartments. bpeaking of washdays, the most .un popular day in New York for that pur pose Is Thursday, fov that Is almost universally the "day off of the cooks and maids. Other things that cause pol itics in the apartment houses are the washing of windows, cleaning of rugs, redecorating, painting, etc. Some of the ultra-modern houses now have. their own vacuum cleaners. These are allotted as are the washrooms of the older houses; and the plotting and scheming for their use is something to marvel at.

' f WITH BANKRUPTCY "V. V.'s Eyes" Furnishes a Sidelight on Relation Be tween Maid and Money, "V. Vs Eyes" Is the title of one of the latest good novels of American lifeone In which the material and the social and sentimental fortunes of a modern American family are followed. It is the story of the clash between the desire to be rich and exclusive and the fight to bring about the practical brotherhood of man. The heroine of the novel is a beauti ful young woman in a southern city where money-making, the establish- ri n a famdv fArflin Bntl tha strengthening of one's social position hv inarrvlnir monev nr regarded an of first importance. ' She has arrived at the age of 24, and has Just rejected a rich, handsome, and highly desirable young man, and her. ambitious mamma has her on the carpet. . ,.

"No, I didn't know of any . . . What worries?" And then mamma . recalls to her daughter what people have been saying about the conditions In the factory which the father owns, about how he has met attempts to make him recon struct the factory with bribery of in spectors and fighting off legislation, and of how hard It was for father to raise the last ten thousand dollars which mother gave to charity In order to reestablish the family socially. When the daughter hears that last bit of news she cries out: "What on earth.' are you talking about!" And mother answers: "Don't you know he needed It for his business? I tell you he'd put It by to spend It on the works this fall, and stop these attacks on him. And why did I have to take it from him, but on your account, miss?" . . Where were you six years ago when he said he'd have to economize and put up a new building, and I prevented him for your sake, arguing that you were Just coming out and were entitled to " "Plx years!" cries the beautiful daughter, who has of late developed a conscience concerning the bad things in the industrial world, "Why why, then I'm responsible for It all! . . . Why, I've been on his back all the time!" It is a familiar load which the American parent bears on his back as he strives toward financial success. It is a load the strain of which cannot be estimated by you and me In our discussions of why this man or that does or does not get on well in the game of providing financial Indepen dence for his family. Parrot Speaks Up in Court. Chicago, Aug. 16. "Hello, papa, how's the baby?"

Judge Wade, incidentally, is a bach elor. He smiled good naturedly. Spec tators laughed. The two women gig gled. Plague Stricken Rats Found. London, Aug. 16.

House-boating all summer for only $1.40 a day Is something that sounds almost incred lble to the New Yorkar, unless he knows how, It is done. The simple scheme was explained by a young Harlem wife and motler. She told how all summer long she had a big, roomy houseboat for her self and the baby, with big, wide veran das looking out over the Hudson, and most of tho time in midstream, where it was coolest, all for less than a dollar and a half a day. It all came about because her husband was sick all spring. He had lost so much time with sickness that he could not himself afford to go away for the sum mer, and the wife would not leave him alone. It was the little girl baby's sec ond summer, and she needed fresh air. "One morning," said the young ma tron, "I had finished my marketing. It was very hot, and baby was tired and a little bit cross. I looked over a few blocks and saw the "ort Lee Ferry. I got the Idea that a river ride might help baby, and we went on board. The child fell into a peaceful sleep, and she was sleeping so soundly when the boat re turned from the Jersey shore that I made another round trip. "That gave me the idea. I calculated that to ride on the boat from 10 o'clock in the morning, when my work and mar keting was all done, until 6 o'clock in the evening, when Jack came home, would cost only SI. 40 one round trip at 10 cents every 15 minutes; 20 cents an hour; $1.40 a day. That really was not a bit extravagant, when I thought how much a vacation would cost with rail road fare, board and everything else. A real big, roomy houseboat for $1.40 a day was within my grasp. "The next day I tried it. I fixed up two thermos bottles of milk for baby, a luncheon for myself, and took along gome sewing and a book. At 10 o'clock, when we went aboard, the early rush was over and we had the upper deck pi- most to ourselves. Baby and I played for awhile, and then she went to sleep. When she wakened, I gave her the milk and ate my own luncheon. The rest of the time I read and sewed. It was de lightful. Jhat was tne first of many days of rest on the river. We went al most every day. Several times I met other people who had thought out the same plan. One was a woman with a little girl. Another was a woman art ist. She laughed heartily when she saw I stayed on the boat all day as she said, "I thought I bad a patent on this dis covery." Fall hats will be small and medium shapes, with soft draped crown effect.,.

WOMEN STERILIZATION LAWS FATAL TO GENIUS So Declares Colorado Physi cian in Discussing Wis consin Statute. Denver, Colo., Aug. 16. If such a law as that recently paased In Wisconsin forbidding the marriage of diseased per sons, and compelling the sterilization of defectives, had always been enforced, three-fourths of the world's greatest geniuses would never have been born! This was the opinion expressed today by Dr. Paull S. Hunter, secretary of the Colorado state board of health, as an an. swer to the statement of Surgeon Gen eral Blue, in which the surgeon declared that this country must stem the propa gation of defectives, and that the Wis consin law is the correct answer. Dr. Hunter declares that love will laugh at laws Just as he has laughed at lock smiths. Following is Dr. Hunter's state ment: By Dr. Paull S. .Hunter. (Written for the United Press.) Theoretically, I am heartily in favor of prohibiting the marriage of all men and women who cannot show a clean bill of health, but It does not work out In practice. The strongest parents bring forth puny children; the most moral pro duce Immoral offspring. The old Joke about the "minister's son" Is founded on history. On the other hand, many of the weak est fathers and mothers, while transfer ring their weaknesses, ouch as drunken ness, insanity, perversion and all tho traits Surgeon-General Blue says would be eliminated by Ian, also pass on the "divine spark" that has lighted the path of progress since Time began. In fact, genius nine times out of ten Is very closely allied with 111 health, criminality, insanity, or drunkenness. There are very few of our greatest poets, musicians, painters, authors and other artists who were not afflicted with some weakness which was -inherited from tbe parents. ' Wagner, Dean Swift and Charles Lamb were Insane; Keats and Robert Louis Stevenson died of inherited tuberculosis; Coleridge and De Quince y were opium fiends; Pope was a'dwarf, and Herbert fepencer was an invalid; Edgar Allan Poe was mentally unbalanced and an In veterate user of drugs and drink; Gold smith was called "the inspired idiot"; Rousseau and Oscar Wilde were moral and mental perverts of the lowest or der. Shakespeare was highly immoral, in that he had an Illegitimate daughter. It Is hardly necessary to refer to Byron and Robert Burns, for their drunken ness and the open Immorality of Byron are too well known- It is true that ail tnese ins come aown through heredity, but along with them comes that thing which has compelled every advanemcnt In the world of liter ature, art, science and Invention. The question of why great talent seldom ac companies physical health has never been answered. The present agitation over eugenics is not new. It began In Sparta before the time of Christ, when, in order to at tain physical perfection as' a race, all cripples or weak or deformed babies were exposed on the mountain tops to die or receive strength from the gods. None but the strongest wereallowed to marry. This system produced the great, est physical giants of history, the most perfect animals of all time, but mental ly the race became dwarfed; their brains went to seed. They produced no really great men, and distinguished themselves only Jn .war and feats of strength. If this plan ot the eugenics enthusi astic! were carried out in the one mat ter of prohibiting marriage of persons who drink, 60 per cent of the American people would be old maids and bachelors. It is evident from this how long It will he before such a law becomes general. New Orleans school board decided that marriage destroys the woman teacher's usefulness.

New York, Aug. 16.These are the days when a great deal is comjng off in the name of Fashion. Just a little bit taken from what you've got leaves Just a little bit less. Over in Gay Paree at the Grand ' Prix the manaklns parading in the latest creations were- racier than the races. Many appeared in lace gowns draped over delicately tinted sl'k tights, and the downfall of the petticoat was supreme. . , This seems a bit extreme, especially with the cool days of autumn so Immi nent, but, after all, you will still have your pride to keep yon warm.' There te a perfect passion for transparent ma terials, and some of the resulting gowns are so sheer that they are simply sheer audacity.
