Texan Wants Oregon to Have Frog
Productlonj ' Experiences With
, Texas Product .Are Related.
. Why not raise frogs in. Oregon and
establish a new meat supply worthy
of being classed with salmon and
beef?, -- ::::i;::C:
I?ie questioner is John P, Sbarkey.
He was once a Portland' real estate
man and Is now in the oil business in
Texas.' He is .spending a few weeks
in Portland with his family, i ,
Texas frogs, said the oil man, grow to
a. weight, of two pounds or more. : They
Increase at a rate that, would give th
blush of shane to the triple compound
Interest rat of a loan sharit. They de
velop rgs that would sxcita the eternal
' envy - ef a ballet dancer. They furnish
a viand with which chicken livers en
brochfelt could never compete and that
positively la far, far more sestful, deli
cately tasteful than the light meat of
the same fowl. '- -. W
"Oreon froa; are too small for com
mercial consideration said Sharkey.
"But if couple of young fellows would
import Texas or Louisiana froffs they
uould start a mighty profitable business.
"With two others, I drove one day to
a pond that bad beeo artificially exca
vated, some. (0 miles from Houston, In
Austin county- We had a net. No fish
bad ever been planted in this pond, but
the net brought out channel cats, mud
cats, bin cats, perch, shiners and suck-
era, as well as frogs, and one moccasin
snake. We were gone only a little while.
but we brought back 50 pounds of fish
and 60. pounds of frogs.
Sharkey offered his suggestion of frog
propagation to the state fish and game
commission and It - awakened interest.
He had seen la The Journal some months
M9 in Texas -an articl about two young
fallows who were looking for frogs to
use as stock ta artificial propagation
near Portland. '
.'Til do anything I can to help anybody
who Is interested," he offered. -

' The most definite and lasting im

purpose oft the club women of the
present day, said Mrs.lda B." Calla
han, of 7 Corvallis, president, of t the
Oregon! Federation of ; ."Women's
clubs, who returned Saturday.
The day; of the' frivolous clubwoman
and the meaningless club is fast passing.
The woman of today la not looking for
a dub In which U; be merely , amused
or in which she may gain a little cultural
veneer, she is seriously concerned with
the big questions of the state, the nation
and the world. There were present at
the convention 1200 delegates,
VITAL POI3TTS M ATE -
"The four- outstanding' topics, outside
or the federation's regular work throua-h
its standing committees Were American
ization, thrift, community service and
child welfare. Who Is a Patriot was
the topic of a. wonderful address given
by Kate Upson Clark at the Americaniz
ation, program. This great problem was
presented from many angles, the point
most stressed being that of making bet
ter and more loyal titisens of everyone
and not confining our . efforts -to the
foreign, born people, but rather absorb
ing the"cood that they have to give and
offering to them on a basis of equality,
the best that we have to give. Dr. Boas
of ' Reed college, delivered a most i In
spiring address.-- . -v
; "Allen D. Albert, specialist m city de
velopment, past .president- of the Inter
national Rotary clubs, spoke on The
New City Not Builded With Hands.
He, featured community service. Mrs.
Percy V. Pennybacker, . a former presi
dent of the federation, also spoke on this
subject under the title of "Visions Made
ReaL' . " '. ; , r-.-.- .:
THRIFT IS EMPHASIZED L j
The lesson of thrift was strongly im
pressed. The subjects of child welfare
and public health were combined in' a
number of HTuminating addresses. Jane
Addams of Hull House fame, Chicago,
spoke on the "Necessity for Leadership In
the Americanization Movement' - at .the
educational conference, ? i :
The conference of state presidents was
very helpful to me. I not only got to
know the state presidents-but I got many
valuable points ! on the work of their
federations. For instance, I would like
to see the Oregon federation establish an
endowment, the Interest on which might
be used for constructive work. I find
many of the federations have endow
ments. . Many issue monthly bulletins as
we do. -: rs . :V-.-'.v
OEEOOy WORK PEAISED '
The scholarship lean is the big" work
of practically all of the federations, . and
I am-'proud to say -that the work of no
state surpasses that of Oregon,-taking
into consideration the sixe of our organir
satlon. t - - 5
"I cannot say' too much, in praise of
.the'' hospitality extended .by the Des
Moines women.: Oregon had .the good
fortune to have five delegates present :
Miss Abbte Wright Miss Ida Wright of
Portland. Mrs. T. Q. Heine of Medford,
Mrs. H. O. Drain of Ontario and my
self." --.
Mrs. Callahan was elected a director
of the General, federation, an. honor usu

Platinum Jewelry r
Craze Hits Japan
Chicago,' June 24. The Japanese have
gone made over platinum Jewelry, ac
cording to George R, Allen, recently re
turned from Seoul, Korea. "It la no
exaggeration to say, - declared Alien,
"that the Japanese in Japan ' are wear
ing $10,000,000 worth of platinum Jewelry.
Among the wealthy and fashionable peo
ple of the mikado's -empire, every form
of platinum Jewelry is A demand. The
jewelers cannot : begin . to supply the
wants of their customers. Platinum
Jewelry is the most expensive kind of
Jewelry.' Platinum has come to be the
fashionable foil for diamonds and this
is a combination of the highest priced
gems and the highest priced metal.
Mr. Allen says Siberia is a treasure
house of gold' and . platinum, but
it will be years - before its - min
eral .wealth can be .exploited. He
declares the Soviets destroyed three' $C00,
000 dredgers used In the platinum mines
in the Ural mountains, once the world's
chief source of platinum supply, and no
work at all is being done in these mines.
The world is now forced to depend for
almost all its platinum on the mines in
