Woman's Political Science Club.
"Should capital - punishment be
abolished V was answered In the af
firmative before the Women's Polit
ical Science chib by Paul Turner at
the meeting Tuesday. Mr. Turner
cited opinions of leading1 criminolog
ists to the effect that capital punish
ment does not really act as a deter
rent, but is an act of revenge which
does not benefit society in the least.
The speaker- named the states of the
union, such as Wisconsin. Michigan
and Kansas, where capital punish
ment does not exist, as having fewer
homicides than many states where
hanging and electrocution Is still in
force.,
1L C Uthoff addressed the club on
"Peace" and pointed out that most of
our laws and institutions are them
selves the result of past conquest and
need profound modification In order
to harmonize with the principle of
equal liberty, the only basis of per
manent peace.

COUNCIL OF J
WOMEN START
Mrs. Isaac Swett, President,,;
Addresses Members at
Meeting Wednesday.
Wednesday of last week marked the
opening of a busy season for the
Council of Jewish Women. The meet
ings are this . year held in the B'nai
Krlth hall and. the first meeting was
president's day, the principal feature
being the address by the president.
Mrs. Isaao Swett. She said in part:
By W. P. Adams,
(Adams Astrological School.)
H. M. a You would do well In de
signing dresses, hats, etc.; you have
splendid judgment in matters general,
good executive ability and construc
tiveness. Yoir are handicapped by en
vironment somewhat,' and are too sen
sitive and fearful of yourself at times,
and are misunderstood at others. Tou
are coming. Into excellent years the fol
lowing two, especially 1916. Tou have
all the Indications presently for offers
of marriage. I doubt, though. If you
accept.
Mrs. I. IL. Newberg Your troubles.
which are plainly apparent, are in the
borne circles, it seems. I do not look
for an Immediate betterment altogeth-
! er; yet, in the end, you will face dif fer-
ent and better conditions. Illness is
When a little while ago we ad
i , , - , . . (threatening through over-worry. II
" , - " , .you will meet 'your troubles with a
at peace, progressing in wonderful mast hani and not let them master
strides to ever better things. Today I ?A ?Lf?-i?.e.
mcnt. You will say impossible, but in
this you are again wrong. Your trou
is sorrow and lamentation and no en-
deavor possible without being over-1
weighed by the calamatous war that
has befallen the world.
Our own work is far removed front
death and devastation and yet so near
that scarce a thing can be accom
plished without its influence upon us.
Our work must now be of greater re
sponsibility. We do not ' know what
the morrow will bring forth. We do
know that the best minds and the best
hearts of the land will be taxed to
alleviate misery and suffering and to
build up wasted and broken lives that
will litter the old world' and spread
upon our own. Our organization must
be strengthened to be better able to
cope with the new problem that will
arise and that must be mt.
"During the summer I perused the
year books or many of our sister sec
tions and was much Impressed with
the vast number of their activities as
well as their variety and scope. Such,
perusal Is necessary to fully compre
hend the tremendous influence for
good the council of which we are so
vital a part is exercising throughout
tne length and breadth of the land.
"The main work of our section con
tinues to center in the Neighborhood
House. Its hospitable doors have re
mained open during the summer, wel- j
coming any and all who cared to par-
take of its advantages. Several classes
and some of the clubs, the penny bank
and the library, continued their work
throughout the summer. The com
mittee, however, is very much con
cerned over the fact that wins to the
financial depression, their funds will
run very low this year, and It Is to be
hoped that no effort win be spared by
our members to assist in 'whatever way
they can to raise sufficient funds to
ruuy ana properly carry on tne many
activities of this institution.
"The Civio Committee has been
called upon a number of times during
the summer to take part in matters of
Import to: our municipality, showing
the large field open to it.
"Portland has been chosen as the
meeting place of the National Council
of Women in 1915 and those who are
familiar with these biennial proceed
ings tell us we have much of value in
store for us. It is also made clear
that the coming of perhaps a thousand
bles axe nothing but what can be mas
tered.
Santefy After the first of the year
is the best period for you; yet not al
together bad now. You have a friend.
ship now that you are considering in
the shape of marriage, If not now.
which Is questionable, the latter part
of the '20s is better for such. You are
rather young1 to consider such now, es
pecially tf finances ar not at their
best.
Harriet A. W. The aspects at pres
ent are not the best for continuity of
the marriage relationship. Yet aspects
better themselves In two to three years,
when all will be serene again. But
very probably this will come through
another marriage.
Mrs. A- P. C From December tiTl
March aspects clear for you In the mat
ter. You would succeed admirably in
your desire. Around the months given
a change is probable; yet in this con
nection some delay or disappointment
Is apparent.
Mrs. S. J. C Your past year or
two were not good; by 191S better con
ditions will prevail. If domestic Is
sues axe disturbed, as they appear to
be, changes in this relationship and the
making of new attachments are evi
dent, unless the greatest forbearance
be exercised. . If any illness is in the
home, and financial matters disturbed.
they will be adjusted by the time given.
M. R. If you will or can apply your
abilities and talents without being re
stricted by environment, success will
obtain. You have two sides. to your
life, as time will prove. Presently, and
especially next year, are favorable for
changes, marriages, etc. The following
two years, 1916-1917, are important in
your affairs, and not the best. Espe
cially the months or April. July ana
October, when accidents, quarrels and
illness portend.
Two Birdies You notn nave ravor-
able horoscopes for success. The com
ing two years marked changes appear
in your affairs, as regards location.
etc, that will alter your present envi
ronment markedly. There are not the
most satisfactory conditions in your af
fairs presently. But both horoscopes.
as I have mentioned, denote substantial i
gains in the future. The wife's chart
is . exceptionally favorably for gains
through her natural business sagacity
and luck, if she is given full vent to
her opinions, and if they be followed.
J. r. B. V. Be careful what you do
now and for a year or two in respect
to marriage. There seem to be too
many obstacles In the .way. Better
wait awhile. There are aspects that
threaten, illnesses and disappointment
presently, that wilj be adjusted In the
end very sausxactoruy n you wui ex
ercise your will.
Mrs. Josephine Lib. The Dalles
Radical changes appear In your affairs
this year. Conditions are not good.
Eventually they will improve; be care
ful In all Issues. November Is an Im
portant month and February.
K. M. P. I regret delay, but Impos
sible to give data asked without sex.
which you failed to give.
Mrs. Rodger D. Grant Yes, indica
tions of change are evident; yet you
will be disappointed' in change at
tempted, or will make them at unex
pected moments or t again at times when
you do not wish tol f At that a radical
change is apparent j': in your affairs.
Your whole aff airsi turn Into different
channels within the following two
years. Gains showipjione band, andorf
the other there arwtany' factors, as
illnesses or deaths bt older relatives,
and numberless trials, . that by the war
will be compassed arid in the nd bring
gains. a-ij- , - -
Mrs. L. B. Mao4-If not by next .
spring, which ia possible, not for six
years. PI,-'- " , "
E. B. While Indications point thus.
I have grave doubts' of such an Issue:,
It would be very soon. If at ail. nou

tempted. The year H 91 7 is a favorable
time for Issues cbricernlng your first

J. P. My advice as to go very care
fully presently, yeq in the near future
you will come tntqjyoiur own. Tou have
a very arbitrary! horoscope to read.

"Breery Day." Jonas Lie, a Nor

when a boy, and who is counted an
American painter, as his work has been
done in this country, is one of the men

His paintings of scenes at the Panama

made by the architecture and atmos
phere of New York streets, have at
tracted wide attention, and are being
bougbt by museums and coliecto. s. He
has painted striking flower and still
life pieces, full of vibrating color, brii

mittee on Peace and Arbitration
seemed scarce defined, a theoretical
proposition beautiful to contemplate.
but from a practical standpoint ex
ceedingly remote. This committee has

powering desire and prayer for peace.
No effort should be spared to this at
tainment May the opportunity be
granted us to materially assist in
plans and efforts that will bring about
that that seems dearest to us now
