Mrs. George Rohr, 1060 Belmont street, augrgeqts a plan for (jhoosing a queen for the Rose Festival which might easily result in not only the queen but all of "her" princesses be ing of the sterner sex. "Kill a glass Jar with sweet pea. seed, keeping count of the number," ays Mrs. Rohr, "seal tight with seal ing wax, and the first one that guesses the correct number, man or woman, must be queen, and the next six -correct or near-correct guessers must be the princesses." This Is the most whimsical sugges tion received thus far by the queen contest editor of The Journal. Mrs. Rohrt says that sweet pea Peed should If Woodstock isn't the cleanest dis trict la Portland for the Rose Festival it will not be the fault of the , city beautiful workers of that district, Al though they have a great deal more territory to clean up in, proportion to population than most of the other sec tions of the city.

F. B. Tlehenor of Port Orford, Or., suggests that as "the whole world knows the Portland ; rose." why not have the queen come from a place outside of Portland. He suggests that Oregon towns nominate candidates, sending pictures and descriptions to a committee in Portland, where a polling place could be opened and the state at large could vote.'

Westergard. 870 Gladstone ave nue, suggests .princesses be arc -going to have Woodstock spick and span for the festival, and what s more, we're going to keep it that way the year 'round." Woodstock has been divided into 12 districts, for each of which a woman chairman and a boy captain has been chosen. The chlldrea, boys; and girls have been organized in companies for each district, and have entered into the work with enthusiasm. Aside from the Inducement of having the cleanest section of the city, a fur ther incentive has been provided in the form of a silver cup, which will be that the queen and -awarded three times during tne year, chosen from other The trophy will finally be placed in states, believing that some of the: the Woodstock scnool. others would b$ glad to send a queen To compete for the cup, Woodstock to Portland for the world famous fes-.has been divided Into two district, each tlval. j containing six of the smaller divisions. !

Hop Tktt Khrtory of Future May Be Told by Periods of Peace, Wot War. ' i A note from Miss Grace De Graff, delegate to the National Peace confer ence at The Hague, written aboard the steamer "Rotterdam," Just before sailing from New York, has been re ceived by The Journal. . Miss De Graff says: "The peace del egates were entertained in Chicago by the Womens' Peace Party of that city, with addresses by Miss Jane Addami and Mrs. Ella Flagg Toung. Special comment was made concerning the ac tion of the Portland school board in aiding me to go and granting tne a leave of absence. Miss AJdamg in vited me to be her guest at Hull House during nty stay, and that was a great treat. "Sunday, I attended a performance of Trojan Woman,' a play to be given throughout the country under the aus pices of the Peace party. Last night the New York branch gave a farewell banquet to the delegates. Today we are off. I count it more and more the greatest privilege that has ever come to me to be one of this party that may or mky not accomplish more than, perhaps, pave the way to better ways and better things for the women of the world. I was asked to speak a few minutes last night and was able to present the teachers' wish for a history based on peace periods and peaceful heroes. "I also spoke before the Chicago Grade Teachers' federation. The teachers in Minneapolis and St. Paul are' more than glad to have a repre sentative at the conference. The Min neapolis association has wired me ask ing me to speak there on my return." By N. I. "The horse is broker That is the term used in recommendation of the poor dumb brute. But how about the drivers. They don't ever seem to have to be "broke" these days.- In a frontier! town every small; boy tries to learn to drive a horse and takes some pride in the accomplish ment, but every city chap "Just knows how." , That is, he says he does. If he is employed by a baker, a butcher, a grocer, a cleaner or any other' one of the numerous business establish ments that still have delivery wagdtis, he always says "yes" to the question, "Can you drive a. horse?" And what is more wonderful, the business man who has paid out his good money for his horse arid wagon never seems to question the inevitable, "Yes; sure I can drive." . -i The only salvation for the safety of pedestrians is that the old delivery horses are as wise as the proverbial stray cur about town. They know their business, i The boys sit upon the wagons and drive . with the brake. When they want to stop they shoot on the brake and the old beast, falls back on bis haunches a few times until he gets on to the game and then plans to look for stops ! first himself. When they want to go forward they pull back and yell "gee'dap." X watched a bakery horse- In his shrewd divination of what his driver wanted the other day and, being one of the people who - interpret animal talk, I will wager that horse had a vocabu lary as tough . as his poor old ' hide, which was welted with whip marks. For, after being yanked back and forth time and again he Just stood still and humped his back and took two good de liberate and most eloquent looks at that driver, who was sitting up there with his arms stretched wide apart at the full length of the reins and kept tug ging at ono line and yelling "gee'dap!" What , he. really wanted , was to7 back into the curb on his right and he yanked and pulled with all his might, on the left rein and kept turning his wagon into the car track on his left, to his own great! exasperation. Then he shouted, "Yo old fool, gee'dap." and tugged again! at the wrong rein. Finaly as time arid the futility of the serpentine he was describing palled on him he decided on leaving the horse to his fate on the car track! and ran in with his basket of bread to a nearby' building. The old horse looked after him long and hard and if I "read his eye aright he was swearing roundly and harshly. He was a "tuff guy," he was. not a, fancy horse. When the driver was entirely" out of his sight he calmly moved ; upl to his place at the curb with little or no trouble and shut his eyes for a peaceful-cat nap.

United States Attorney Reames yes terday forwarded a request to the postoffice department asking that a fraud order be issued against the "In ternational Bankers' Alliance" of 125 High Holborn, London. Kn gland, which has been advertising that It was in position to make investments in Ore gon lands. The request for the order is based on Information that "J. A. Dent," who frequently figured in fraudulent schemes investigated by the govern ment, is the head of the so-called al liance. Records in possession of post office inspectors show that J. A. Dent has operated under a number of aliases including those of Thomas P. Daniels, and Thomas Cameron. He has been arrested in New York, Milwaukee, Pittsburg and Chicago, all for using the mails to defraud. In Milwaukee he pleaded guilty and was fined $5000. In Chicago he turned states' evidence and In Pittsburg he was convicted, but fled and forfeited ball. Under the present treaties he cannot be extradited from England. - Salem Moose Insta, Salem, Or., April 17. The Loyal Order of the .Moose have installed the following officers here: F. S.

Should the extension be made, it would open to tourists and Portland people one of the most beautiful outing districts of Oregon and materially lessen the difficulty of reaching Mount Hood.
