Yet we made the run from Omaha in 10 days, whldh we regard good, thne. , : The travelers .said they had heard much- of Portland's progressiveness In musical matters and said that this cov eted .. reputation .extends pretty well throughout the ' country. - .

FiRtS- is embarrasslna- to a con scientious impressionist toT set about recording ans s lmpressfon which hs knows all the time to be false, but it seems to me better to do that than to try. by falsifying my talse Impression, to creataa'true one. N" .'r . The impression is that nothing in Paris is very much changed. I dp not mean merely that one may tramp' tolles and miles through the streets, as I havr done, without seeing any slsms a,tj all of the activities of the Gothams or of big- Berthas, for that is equally true of London ; in terms of brick and moiar, , of walls and roots, neitner city has : been . appreciably damaged. The thing I mean is conspicuously not true of London, 'foe impression I want to record though I know it to be false Is that the life which Cows through the streets here, and ' roes on behind the windows. Is tho--same sort of life and is flowing through the same chan nels, accompanied by the same wci- denU and producingho same reac-J tiona. as before the war. It derives, of course, from the most superficial sort of observation. X have been In Paris only a week and yet I have a reason, for thinking that these observation are worth putting down. - X give some of them more or less at random: FAEIS KEEPS YOTT WABM X Paris is betteg lighted and warmed tan London is artif idaUy ; I am not referring--to the weather, which Is vile and wintry and dark. The streets are brighter, the theatre s--the two I have been to are warmed. Wherein London you sat in your overcoat and were glad it was a thick one. The roomfin ojy modest little hotel here has a hot radiator, needed for comfort to be sure though it is the last day of April, but the room In my similar hotel In London had to go unhealed all winter because no doctor had certified that the pre carious condition of my health made warmth . essential. One gets an Im mensely -greater variety of food pro vided e can afford to pay for it. The windows of the patisseries are full of the same seductive assortment of little cakes that used to f empt my wife and me into extravagancies years ago. They are much more extravagant now. I dined very simply, last night, in an Etablissement Duval, on vegetable soup.' beef tongue with mashed pota toes, camembert cheese and the -customary deroi rouge. The Duval places correspond roughly .with ?, the Lyons restaurants in London and various low priced places , at home; -My dinner, above enumerated, cost me 7 francs. At my hotel the regular dinner soup, fish,' meat and a vegetable, and van orange or a banana . for dessert costs 14 francs. Luncheon costs 12 francs. and: my regular breakfast., which con sists of coffee and two soft boiled eggs, B.f A cup pf chocolate and a little cake or-two in any of the tea shops' on the boulevards win cost you about the same, ' v : ,' , ' . Of course.; If you take a guest to any of the smarter restaurants and order a dinner that even remotely resembles a party, your blM, can be literally any-y thing over a bed rock minimum of 100 francs. By way of contrast with all this you can buy a box of high quality cigarettes in the Hotel Crillon pro vided you have a correspondent's pass for One depreciated franc In con clusion you can buy 600 francs for $100, so they figure out at IS and 2-3 cents apiece instead of the traditional 20. C ' ,-: V. TAXIS IK P1E3TTT .'V.':;';; ..' Taxis, are much more plentiful here than they were An London. There are 10. on the-stand beneath my window here in the Boulevard des Capuclns at this moment, though it Is as rainy and windy and generally vift a day as any one cduld wish to avoid walking about it." In London they have pretty Willi forgotten -where the taxi stands used to be. it is so long since -one of them has had a chancafc to come to rest there. It is my impression, too. though this X am not sure of. that there are more private cars ' in the streets than there were to, be seen in London. . Let me go on a little further. The crowd out here the boulevard crowd, the Rue de la Palx, Place de l'Opera crowd looks much as It used to before the war or would If you could substi tute the American tourist with? his Jacob Fisher, story of LydiaN and Jacob, using theT names of the guests of -honor, from ancient history. The gifts for the oc casion Included a purse of, gold from their many friends of the East Side Christian church.,, a silver service and numerous other remembrances. Follow, ing the program a dainty collation was served. Guests from Out of town included Marshall Fisher of Priest River. Idaho ; Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Clough. of San Jose. CaL, and Mrs. 1 L. - M. Hardingham of Indiana. -Kfs i-M... -.--o-"5.-1 r Mr. and Mrs.: Fisher were married , In Kosciusko county, Indiana, In July, 1869. They came to Portland in mo and have made their home at Evergreen since that time. , kodak for the American soldier in his khaki.- One does not see"TKgreat num ber tt men in French onlforni ;, they are completely outnumbered, that la to say, - by the . Frenchmen one sees in civilian : clothea . .One gets an Impres sion compared wlth. the, - one one cot in Trafalgar square? of swarms of civilians. And in the . weak X ' have been here, I don't believe I have seen half a dosen mutilated men. WOMEX 8Tli "FEMUaJH" r As for the women, on sees of course, a lot of mourning worn, some very smart and some very stuffy, -and one notices It especially coming fropaEng- ! ani where- no one wears any. ., But then the French always w s wear a great dear" of mourning, and now that the first impression- "has worn away, the streets look natural enough. Cross ing the boulevard ?) tMs precise mo ment is a little girl of not mors than 10; in a skirt only Just down to her knees and widow's full yell ot thick black crene. i as forthe ther woman, tho ones not in mourning, they dont seem to havo changed a hair. - The new type of Eng lish girl, whether in uniform or out of It, swinging along about her business with her hat pulled down tight on her head and .her hands tn her pockets, flipping on a bus or dropping Into line to"buy her ticket at a tube station. i looking at. you speaking to you If she has occasion exactly as another : man would, that type ot girl clearly created. In England by the war, has no French counterpart so far as I have been able to discover. The little boulevardleres who go by these windows continue to look what people used to mean by the woM feminine. I don't believe rye seen any women in uniform any corre sponding .to the waacs and the wrens In England. Some of the guards in the Metro are women and some of the bus conductors may be. f At night.' too, along, the boulevards, it is quite as of old. If one walks very steadily, unfocused gaze ' straight ahead, his. progress will not be Inter rupted. : But let his look concentrate itself anywhere and it wiU meet a look of invitation ; let his step lag ever . so little and a hand will rest on his sleeve and a voice will say in his ear, "Ecoutes, monsieur " . " To be sure, he has only to say, but with a downward inflection: "Merci, mademoiselle, and the hand will drop away." , PABIS is kot FBAKCE Well, there you have my fragments, which' do not make, arrange the mo saic in what pattern you will, the pic ture of a tragic France, an only less than mortally ., wounded France, . a France confronted by as great a dan ger to her civilization as the one which she sprang to arms to repel five year ago this summer. , Yet f that, in all sober truth, is the pattern which should be shown. , Why then, spend time over these ": superficial and misleading trivialities?

Cridge , rpHB Balery and Confectionery Work-L-ors union was organized in Portland in September, W00. ,Tho union at. first was not able. to secure cordial relations with , employers ; in4, this - dty,. and ' its career for some years was a stormy ona It had a general strike In 1902. and it had frequent struggles to secure better sanitary conditions, shorter .hours and conferences with employers. ; The hours ranged from 14 to IS a day. and it was considered impossible by many employ, ers and employes to arrange things dif ferenUy.x. The; health of the employe was not considered until the organised workers took up the matter and com pelled attention to be paid to what are now considered essential principals of shop sanitation." Jn 1904 the organisa tion was enabled to affiliate with the National organisation. The late Will E. Jenkins - was made business agent and there began a long struggle to secure full recognition and conciliation instead of strikes In the settlement of condi tions of labor. : ,: -- r - In 1910 a -4ong continued struggle re-' suited In a lasting peace. The present harmonious relations existing are the results of the employers and employes finally getting together - on common grounds. A second three-year agree ment has been signed up. The present financial ecretary and business agent. Richard Krotl, has offices In the Alisky building., and it Is due him to say that much of the prosperity enjoyed by his fellow workers - is because of his' di plomacy, fidelity and-- abilities. The organization in Portland has 267 mem bers, of which 24 have Just . returned from : military service in tha ."'is-ar for democracy, and freedom. .Its members have been to the fore in every patriotic drive for funds and bonds.

Of the 40,000 dictionary words, many more than one half are never used at all or employed on . the rarest occasioned' We would be : sur prised, if we kept account of them, with how small a number of words we man age to express all we have to say, either with Hps or pen. Our common literary English probably amounts to 10,000 words, our spoken English hardly o five thousand. Multitudes of odd and unused words are to be. found in our dictionaries. Why they are kept there, no-one knows. What man in his .senses would use such -words as "sythepsary" for a brew house and ."zymologist to describe a brewer?:. Who would, or de sires, to speak of a bore as a "macrol ogist" ; of an aged horse as "macrobi otic. Open the dictionary at any page and you will find a host of such words as these. ': .
