Trumbull before the Woman's Civic ' Welfare club Thursday afternoon in " .Room A, Central library. ,-Tiie time -'"''has come to face things squarely." eaid Mrs. Trumbull. "Under the name :.J of patriotism and the set phrases of ''For Country! Kor Home! For Flag! 1 people ore called upon to do things that they ordinarily wouldn't pay any attention to whatever. We must stop and ask the question why in these matters. We take our woman suffrage too lightly here in Oregon. I some times wonder if we realise what we could do with our Initiative, referen dum and recall. Vhen I was in the east 1 was asked repeatedly what our ' form of government has done for our Z state, and when 1 told them of the benefits: to be derived for the workers " through such a system, they all teemed to be impressed.

A. recent lsfue of tbe federation magaxlne print a rMOtne o these meeting, a part of which follow: "The sacred individuality of every human soul is the spinal cord of civilization." Thought power is a dynamic force, and is moving the world with Increas ing momentum; and this power Is tending in the direction of hope. The various addresses delivered at the conference of the Industrial and social conditions department empha sized the above facts forcibly. And the correlation of every department into this one was most apparent, in asmuch as all the addresses In all the conferences had to do with the same "sacred individuality," together with the unity of purpose, and many soared well into tho heights of exalted thought even prayer for human Jus tice, human hopt and human love.

He continued, "The fact that you women are interested is a revolution in this country. We want a revolution of intelligence. If women will appoint some group to cooperate with us, bo that we may let you know how your clothing is made, the condi tions under which clothing is made, the difficulties of the employers it would be the beginning of a new era in this country." Mrs. Nellie Swartz. reoresenting the Consumers' league.

Fifty years ago it would not have been possible for mothers and grandmothers to be present here. It is quite as Impossible now to run fac tories of the good old fashioned type. The home cannot be put back on the old industrial relationship. We shall not be able to hark back to the old conception of home, but a very admir able home Vnay be maintained. The home family can be a family and maintain the privacy, the intercourse and the common life of the family. Such families must be maintained in the United States if we are to remain a great United States."

By J. L. Wallin. EVAN WILLIAMS, the Welsh tenor, born in Ohio of Welsh parentage, was in Portland during the week. He came down from Tacoma to' view the Columbia river highway of the beauties of which he had heard so mnch. A year or so ago, the famous singer appeared here in concert, but at that time his stay was necessarily limited because of other bookings. So he had to forego the pleasure of an auto trip into the country at that time. It was a concert at Tacoma that brought Mr. Williams to the coast last week; usually he enjoys his sum mer vacation during July, but Tacoma planned a big municipal music festival and a committee appointed by one of the commercial organizations, selected Mr. Williams as soloist. A mixed chorus of 500 voices sang and the Phil harmonic orchestra of Seattle played. The concert was given Tuesday eve ning, and the tenor declares It was a most remarkable and njagnificent af fair. It wjb given In the stadium and estimates placed the attendance at 20,000. The stadium for the benefit of those who have not recently had the oppor tunity to watch Tacoma. grow, is an i open air amphitneatre with the sound I at th ttl ati,4 enmA iAft feat In irith The acoustics, Mr. Williams found marvelous. "A sounding board, possibly not more than 10 feet high, had been erected back of the stage." he said. "1 had no way of telling whether or not my voice carried acros3 the immense audience, but was told after the con cert by persons from every corner t'r,at even the softest pianissimo passages were plainly audible everywhere. "A novel feature in connection with my engagement was that the commit tee made the selection from phono graphic records. And Trto.v nlso chose my program from the recjrds. So you see they really knew Just about what to expect from me. It Is a new use to which the great Invention has been applied. "Municipal music is becoming popu lar. That is music funishoil oy tbe municipalities for thi benefit of the masses. I don't think anyone will deny the soothing and elevating effect of music. It makes for bettor citi zens, more refinement. A great deal of interest has been aroused thrcugh the phonograph. We don't luily real ize how much. "For instance, when the accompan ist began the Introduction o 'A Per fect Day' for an encore. wave of tp- ! plause swept through the stadium. 1 Well, I had never sung that song there before, but the phonograph had done the missionary work." Mr. Williams left here Wednesday j night for nls home in Akron, Ohio. He was accompanied by his son. Evan, who Joined him here, the younger Mr. Williams having come to the coast with a relative earlier In the week. En route home they will visit Yellowstone park and Colorado Springs. Upon his return to Akron, Mr. Wiljiams will be gin his vacation. It will consist of two weeks at Congress Lake club, a dozen miles from his home town, and then a motor tour to Canada. On Oc tober 8 he begins his concert season in New York. Bookings will keep him ac tive till late in May. The bookings do riot include a trip to the Pacific cpast. "I will not have the pleasure of singing on this coast until the sea son of 1917-18." Mr. Williams ex plained, "but hope to come here then." To aire Opera In English.

The plans contemplate performances in all cities of the country, both small and large, where the people have had no chance to hear the Metropolitan Opera com pany or the Chicago Opera company.

Hew Jtecords Are A nottnoed One of the features of the new list of Victor records for August which is certain to arouse considerable enthu siasm, is the slngtng of "The Star Spangled Banner"' by Ueraldine Far rar. As rendered by the American prima donna the full beauty of the song which expresses the spirit of the nation is disclosed and accentuated. Caruso offers a most Interesting number in the aria "Almighty Lord, Oh Judge, Oh Father" from Mas senet's opera "Le Cld." The orches tral support of the number is of un usual excellence. An English version of Goethe's Song of Damon to the appropriate music of Max Stange, which has been one of the most effective of Emmy Dentinn's contributions at recent re citals, is the soprano's addition to the August records. Another selection which is not so well known In America as in Europe is Stanislas Gastaldon's "Forbidden Music," an Italian love song of more than ordinary merit as poetry with sympathetic musical set ting. DeGogorza sings this number. Gadski is heard this month In verses which make appeal by their famil iarity. Twenty more popular songs are added to the Victor list, including the topical hit "I Sent My Wife to the Thousand Isles." New singers are introduced in M. J. O'Connell and the Avon Comedy Four. Mr. O'Connell is a clqar-volced tenor. Song Cycle to Be Presented.

START THE BABY RIGHT By Anna Steese Richardson. In Piotorlal Keriaw for Auguit. The crown of a mother's happiness is tho gratitude and appreciation of her children. When they are old enough to understand the value of good health, good morals, good manners, they are also apt to appreciate the fact that they owe these valuable possessions to their mother. In such an hour as this does the efficient mother reap the reward of firmness and devotion. If the reward of capable, devoted motherhood Is satisfying, the penalty of Inefficiency, weakness or neglect is the hardest cross for a mother to bear. 1 recall being in the home of a man, happily married, the father of two daughters whom he adored, when he was told by the family physi cian that he had locomotor ataxia. He seemed to take the blow calmly. He expressed no dread of the living death ahead of him. But, several hours aft er the doctor had gone, he turned sud denly to his gray-haired mother, and said, with bitterness: "Well, I owe this to you. You al ways spoiled me. You never taught me self-control. I belieyed that any thing I wanted I had a right to take. I took a lot of things that were not good for me. Now my 'wife and chil dren will have to pay or the wrong start you gave me." He was mistaken. The one who paid most heavily for his affliction was the mother who knew the truth of his bitter words. The foundations of health physical, mental, and moral are laid in the first year of the baby's life. Every mother feels deep down in her heart that she wants to give her baby the right start but this wish It might almost be called a determina tion is often side-tracked by condi tions that arise soon after the baby's birth. When a baby cries or frets because Its will has been crossed, many a moth er thinks that firmness makes the child unhappy. Such mothers do not realize that a child is utterly Incompe tent to decide what Is good for It, and can not even differentiate between a slight and a serious pain. It Is un comfortable, so It cries, whereupon the mother.

"American Spirit." will be the opening number at the Municipal Park band concert at Wash ington Park this afternoon. It is composed by M. B. Palacio-, "veil known Portland musician and com poser and member of the park band. It will be played today for the first time in public. Conductor Percy A. Campbetl hue prepared a magnificent program for this afternoon, with Brahms "Aca demic Festival" overture the principal offering. Student Melodies Introduced. The work begins with the announce ment of its principal theme. Then Tollows a more tranquil section, after which the opening material Is again resumed. After another episode the student song. "Wlr hatten gebaut ! stattllches haus" makes Its appear, ance. At the conclusion of this melody the full band presents another section, the material of which is partly sug gested by the principal them. The key changes and the second student melody "Der Landesvater" Is Introduced. The development sec tion doea not begin at once with the working out of the previous material, but with a third student melody, "Was Kommt doit von der Hoh," a freshman song. Then follows an ela- borate develooment of the inattr in the first portion of the overture. The recapitulation is somewhat irre gular in its construction, tho princi pal theme being omitted, or at least being only suggested.
