Mrs." Sarah A, Kvana. president ot the Oregon- Federation, recalled the biennial council in , Texas six years ago, when ( the suggestion was first made that a council meeting should be held In Portland, and she paid a beautiful-tribute to the club women of, the state , for rallying to her eupport m planning for this meeting,' and closed with words of most cordial greeting! to the .visitors, saying: "I hope you Will carry with you the note or peace, joy and loving kindness." Mrs. Samuel B. Bneath, the first Vice president of the General Vedera t ton, responded to the words of wel come in a fitting and beautiful manner, saying; r"Your welcome is as wide as the country which we crossed to get here, but the Journey to the northwest was made in reality a i'Joy rideand now rthat we are in the midstaryour won- derful 'get there' city, we cannot find words to express our Joy. Your Dalles- Ceillo canal is second only to the Panama canal. Your Rose Festival Is world famed, and don't under any con sideratlon ever stop giving it. Yours is a land of health and happiness, of youth and opportunity; verily, it is God s country, and since we kno-v you better we - love- you better." Reports Axe Called Por. Mrs. Pennybacker tnen announced that, brief, reports would be made by the directors, calling first upon Mrs. Sneath, who said that she had tried at all times to perform her duty which she interpreted as holding up the hands of her superior officer. In the ab sence of the second vice president. Miss Georgle Bacon, her report was read by Mrs. McMahon. Mrs. Harry L. Keefe, the recording secretary, gave an exhaustive report both as secretary and as a member of the council. Mrs. Eugene Reilley, corresponding secre tary, declared that she never allowed a letter to remain on her -desk more than '24 hours without answering, al though her mail is very heavy and her Inquiries range from how to choose suitable clothing to requests for histories of her life and photo graphs of herself., Treasurer Makes Beport. One of the most concise and inter esting reports of the morning was that .given by Mrs. William B. Wil liams, treasurer. Her report, which covers the period from April 1, 1914, to April 1, 1915, briefly summarized Js as follows: Cash oni hand. $11,879.07; receipts from oTUes, $16,965.25; receipts from other sources, $216.25; total, $29, 059.57.

Everett, Highland Park, 111.; Mrs. William P. Harpeii Seattle; Miss Mary ' Garrett Hay, New York; Miss Lutle E. Stearns, Milwaukee; Mrs. Frank White, Valley City, N. D.; Mrs. William B. Young, Jacksonville, HI. Mrs. Pennybacker Speaks. The principal address of the morn ing was delivered by the president of the General Federation, Mrs. Percy V. Pennybacker. her subject being: "The Spirit of Federation." She said in part: "Today we must face the situation that we should be even more con cerned about the efficiency thin the growth Of our organization. The great est foe to efficiency is lack of thor ough study before undertaking action. I must beg that you will allow me to repeat Goethe's words: 'Nothing is more dangerous than Ignorance at work.' Would that we might have emblazoned in flaming letters on the cover of each club calendar these words: 'Investigate, eliminate, con centrate. Responsibility Required. "We shall never be truly efficient! until we have awakened the Individual club womanfto a sense of responsibil ity. To possess the efficient spirit we must be fired with missionary zeal to spread the gospel of the federation. . "Efficiency demands cooperation cooperation not alone between women of the same group, but between women of all groups. Cooperation must not stop here. It must exist between men and ; women, . I firmly Delieve that some day we shall' have a. world fed eration of men and women. Since God placed men and women in the world .to live together, to work together, to play together, we most hasten the day when community service shall rally to - its ranks men,' women and .children. . - ""Possibly - no branch of" our work haaCbn administered .with as little efficiency as the financial side, r In one way It ia wonderful that we have accomplished great results with so little income; yet, we have violated ma"ny of the c&nena, of rood business management. In club 4 and federation work the finance committee ; should carefully outline the methods by -which the income is to be wisely . oivided among the different actlvites of club life. - ; ' i, l- Definite. Good Urged. ' , "One of the great reasons that we have not worked mre efficiently has been .that there has existed no con tinuity of effort toward one definite goal. Change of administration has often brought change of policy, . and many vital reforms have been . ar rested before they are half started. I long for the day to come when In each community In each federation there shall be a certain fixed aim toward which we are working. ' - j , "One of the favorable signs 1B -that reveral states have allied their women's organizations into one legis lative committee. In almost every case . where this has been done.! the women have carried their -entire pro gram. One of the "greatest services we can render in a legislative way Is to help make public opinion that will de mand the enforcement of the law; i -i "True loyalty demands that club .women shall look for the beat In each other, and shall express a mead of honest pride. Nothing spurs us to greater endeavor than the fact I that those whom we esteem thlnk well of us. Our heads are not. turned, but we are made to strive oar utmost to Ilv up to- their high ideals. "let us consider loyalty toi our Ideals in the selection of our officers. If you' were -to ask- me. the chief requsite for a woman who is to be placed iii' a position of trust In the club world. I would nnhesitatlngly say she must first of all be a true gentle woman. It matters net what may be hep Intellect, what her power for or ganizing if she ia lacking in the fun damental law of good breeding, if she is ' characterized by self-aggressiveness, or by a thirst for of flee she Is not -the woman to bring, in the long run, the beat results to an organiza tion Whose silent, majority "is. com posed of home-making. God-fearing, sweet-natured, humanity -loving wom en. iV-'V .v. . - ---"..--fWe have no right, on the other hand, to allow or ' bring prejudice either' fdr or against a woman to in-, finance lis in casting a vote to make her ah. of fleer. Rivalry Bhonld Be 7rlendly. ' "There is no reason why. two Wom en should not be brought out for the same office, and yet the contest be so carried on that there be no bitterness In tht remembrance. No woman has the right to stand for office until she has settled with herself the question whether or not she is able to stand de feat. We have all seen men and wom en great enough to go down In defeat with- a smile in the heart as wejl as a smile on the Hp. and, we-havt seen these same; people who had formerly opposed them become 1. their - ardent friends. J Loyalty demands that ..we turn all bur God. given strength away from destructive and criticising action, and consecrate it to constructive work. I; wish that ' each club, once, a year, wonld have a meeting, with no visitors present, to consider and discuss the traditions of the club, the ideals of club life. :U la.:Cc. v.:,; v:'' "Greatly desiring that a' closer al liance, should be brought about be tween the board of directors, the chair men of departments, state presidents and state federation secretaries, ; this administration has done all ' In Us power, to strengthen the bond of union.

Than That of Any Other ' Pavement, -A. -Vj . 1 - j ' ... MERICA has long been seeking just the right pavement for country roads. Very evidently the nation's choice has fallen upon concrete, for concrete highways are spreading over the land with greater relat ive rapidity than those .of any other type. Up to .the beginning of last year more than 1 800 miles of concrete roads had been laid in the United Staters, and over 400 more were added in 1914 virtually all this within ten years. ': - - ) 1 : : " . V" Four years ago Western Washington be gan laying" concrete highways, That first year the equivalent of three miles of country roads were laid ; the next year eight miles were aclded ; in 191 3 there were forty 7 one more added, and last year forty-four miles a total of almost 100 miles while af the present time there are over twenty miles already under contract for 1915. '') Why concrete?' Because of economy, dur ability, ease of cleaning, non-slipperiness, and tractive and sanitary advantages. Of each of these more later. .
