6 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 10, 1915 j. . 1 1 " 1 EY VELILjA WINNER No speaker who haa ever visited Portland has ben so much discussed and so ken)y anticipated as is Mary Antin, Russian immigrant, author, lec turer and social worker, who comes to the White Temple Wednesday evening, March '31. In the lecture, "They Who Knock at 6ur Cates An Illumination of the Immigration Problem.' The'' tens o thousands '" Who have read her famous book, "The, Promised Land' need no Introduction to Mary Antin. To thOfie not thus favored It my b said that, coming to this country from Russia with her parents 20 years o, a child of 13, with no word of English and no experience of life out side the Jewish pale, within 16 years she produced one of, the two great books it the time. , "The Promised I-and" is a human document : oif extraordinary vividness and power. 'j It appeared serially in leading 'magjnrine and In book form at tained an enormous circulation. It da scribes the life of the Antin family in Russia, their immigration to this coun try, and the impressions made by this land of the; free on the author while fhey were struKKling with adverse cir cumstances Sn Boston. Another work lately issued and at tracting wide attention" is entitled, ."They Who Knock at Our Gates." This dals with Immigration from the stand point of one who knows. With c haracteristic -racial persisten cy, in the face of adversity and often among the most discouraging surround ings, she pursued her studies, graduat ing from the Ciirls' latin school of Boston ami entering Barnard college in New York.- Today Mary Antin is an ardent woman. A progressive in the best cli a ' democrat of democrats, sha burns with -an equal flame for all of whatever race, color or creed. If all immigrants were of the Mary Antin type, there would be noJrumigratioii problem. V , rupiln Much Interested in (iartlens. I'rattlcally all of the 140 pupils who attend the Glenhaven school are this year interested In the' nchool garden of over one acre which Is already un der cultivation,, and bids fair to be one Of the most successful of all' the school gardens of the city. At the meeting of the Parent-Teacher asso ciation held yesterday there was a general discussion of ways in which the association could help in making the gardens a success. There was also a discussion of plans for the commu nity sing and neighborhood entertain ment which is to be given JJarch 19. The pleasure of yesterday's meeting was heightened by a number of mus ical and literary numbers given by the children. , , . Fire Marslml Stevens Talks. Fire Marshal Jay W, Stevens, who recently returned 'from the east, was the principal speaker at I yesterday's meeting of the Glencoe Parent-Teacher -association. Mr. Stevens spoke espe cially of ways of preventing lire, what to do to avoid a panic in case of fire and how to best handle a crowd. lie said that many peopie In attempt ing to turn in an alarm merely open the door of the alarm, but fail to pull the hook which turns in the alarm, then too they do not remain at the alarm station In order to tell the de partment when It arrives where the fire is. i He cited an instance that recently happened in which eight calls were re ceived, at the fire station telling that there was a fire In Sunnyside, but not one of the persons calling thought to tell where the fire was. He deplored the thoughtless person who as soon as he hears the fire bell, immediately calls up the department to find out where the fire is, failing to . remember that that Is Just the ' time when the fire department line should be left free for business matters only. Mr. Stevens had with him Mr. Wright, the chief operator of the tele phone exchange at the fire headquar ters. They set up on the stage a min iature alarm box and telephone board and showed just how to turn In an alarm and just how It was received at headquarters. . Mr. Stevens talked for nearly an hour, yet so Interesting did he prove that he held the closest attention of tils audience, which was made up largely of older pupils of the school. At the'Conclusibn of the talk he was asked to return at some future time and talk to the younger pupils along these same lines. - The program closed with a cornet solo by Ernest Mallett, accompanied by Mts. "Mary Mallett. At the business session presided over by the president, Mrs. W, F.

Some things are best forgotten As soon as they are learned. Who never plays with fire Will surely not be burned. Two big white eggs lh a . tumble down nest land snow and Ice every where! DljS ever anybody hear of such a thing before? "Wouldn't believe it If I hadn't seen it with ray own eyes," muttered Blacky the Crow. '"Have to believe them. If I can't believe them, then It's no use to try to believe anything In the world. As sure as I sit here that old nest has two eggs. In it. Whoever laid them must be crazy to start housekeeping at this time of year. I must find, out whose eggs they are. and then "' , Blacky didn't finish, bat there was a hungry look in his eyes that would have told any who saw it, had there been any to see it, that he had a use for those eggs. But there was none to see it, and : he took the 'greatest care that there should bo none to see him when he once again started for a cer tain lonesome corner of the Green Forest. ' "First, I'll make sure that the eggs are still there." thought he, and flew high above the treetops so that as he passed over the tree in which was the old nest of Redtart the:Hawk he might look down into it. To have seen him you would never have guessed 'that he was looking for anything in particular. He seemed! to be Just flying over on his way to come distant place, If the eggs were still there he meant to com back and hide in the top of a nearby pine tree to watch until he was sure that he might safely steal those eggs or find out whose they were. Blacky's heart beat fast with excite- by J. a. UoyO.) Probably both llooty and Mrs. , Hooty were sitting close by. ! ment as he drew near that old tumble down nest. -Would those two big white eggs be there? Perhaps there would be . three! The very thought made him flap his wings a little faster. A- few more wing strokes and he would be right over the tree. How he did hope to see those ggs! He could almost see into the nest now. One stroke J i Two strokes'! Three strokes! Blacfcy bit his tongue to keep from giving a? sharp caw of disappoint ment and surprise. There, were no eggs to be seen. No, sir; there wasn't a sign of eggs In that old nest.

Blacky didn't turn to come back as he had r planned. He." kept right on just as If he hadn't seen anything, and as he new he shivered a little.. He shivered at the thought of what might have happened to him If he had. tried to steal those eggs the day before and had been caught doing It. "I'm thankful I knew- enough to leave -them alone," said he. "Funny I never once guessed whose eggs they are. I might have known that no one but llooty the Owl would think of nesting at this timo of year. And that was i Mrs. llooty I wiw ion (he nest just now. My, but she's big!
