Greta attended ' the' Couch school for two years. Her grades dur ing; this period were "not satisfactory, Mrs, Moore testified. Report cards were Introduced to establish this contention. The next year Greta was sent to Whit- worth college, a Presbyterian college. where her schooling stopped. "She did not do good work at the Whltworth . 'prep' school," Mrs. Moore aald. . The testimony waa intended to show why the Moores did not send her to the university.- Judge TuweM today postponed further consideration of the case until February 17, because of press of other probate buslnees.

IX Here were 15 mothers with their in fants and 14 expectant mothers. Theirs was the age-old story.. These ; mothers had erred in the eyes of society and were exiled. The home was a solution when there was no one to care for them. The mothers, ashamed instead of proud, waited out of view behind closed doors while visitors looked ) at their babies. The expectant mothers also Aid. ir tnese gins ieu no pusi is whd- eause they had become insensible to them.

But many of them were wait ing with witty tongues and sparkling, even if faded, eyes. The eldest, Tim Kelly, who says he was 107 years old last Christmas day. was the most jolly. He sat in his chair in the kitchen, cane between his knees,' hat on his head, pipe in his mouth. He enjoys the companion ship of the boys, as he merrily referred r BOYS!

I do, but I haven't been- down recently pot since I was 101 years old." Those upstairs in the infirmary, some. despite their lesser years, were not spry like the man who sat on the kitchen stool. . They were lying on beds from which,.they never would arise. HEARTS ARE TOUCHED "Tea." said IJttle Stupidf sadly, then lKUerless sadly when he .. thought of Tinv Kelly, "we must give alrthe. nappi nesa and comforts we can to the aged.

Sufferers, their bodies racked by dis ease,- were being - treated, nty : seized Little Stupid when he observed the .train ber c of tuberculosis patients. Most of them ' were young. Many were pretty girls. Children with eye, ear and throat diseases were waiting to pass under the. hands of the busy doctors. Ailing babies. were there In the arms of tired, work worn .mothers, others, young android, wer5B'.ating for relief. v- f i suctt was the scene in alckness and misery. ; Suffering ! -All afternoon .there had been signs- of suffering.

A. the Cum pf ire Girls, the Boy Scouts and similar organizations accomplish what they avow to do, then there will not be so many girls in the Crittenton home, so many homeless children in the Aid Society home and so many disease stricken sufferers at the dispensary." And as Little Stupid moved away, he muttered something about "an ounce of prevention" being something or other. In any event his doubts about the Com munity Chest had been dispelled. CHEST 10 GO ON UNTIL QUOTA GIVEN (Con tin iUfd From Pte One) Passing time and advancing develop ments la the realm political seem to have clarified to some extent, aa la usually the case in such matters, what George H. Kelly meant when the remarked, just before he left for his Eastern business trip, that he did not know what he waa going to do about being a candidate for governor, and would not until he re turned home. Mr. Kelly has "backed Into the pot" to express It in poker parlance some times used by politicians to express the cryptic meaning of their thoughts. He wants to be governor, and he wants to be a candidate, and, according to this latest aspiration via the underground conduits of political telephony, he wants the indorsement of the Federated Pa triotic Societies, being so earnestly clamored for by all gubernatorial can didates except Ben Olcott, and, to a leaser degree, Louis E. Bean. WOULD ATOID STBFXGS Bean. It will be remembered, wants the Indorsement but he wants it untied by strings and without promise or pledge, on his part that he will step aside should the Indorsement not come to him. To get the clear perspective of the po litical strategy now being attempted to be worked out by the head : men and leaders of the Federated Societies, it may be well to say that what they would like best to see would.be a field of two candidates, Olcott, against whom they have already trained their guns, and who, seemlnjrly. intends to se'eTt the nomination without their sanction or in dorsement, on the one hand, and their indorsee on the other. . This, it appears, can nots be entirely accomplished for J. D, Lee, is in the field, formally, and will make what race he may for the nomination on May 1$ next BEAX IS READT hall, where "the 'Inner council of the Federated : Societies bold forth. But Kelly, they say. baa come . temporarily at least and like a cloud between tne two senators and their radiance. There are strategic reasona why thta should be so. politicians contend. Speaker Bean, they insist, would make the race, unindorsed, against Patterson, HaU or Gates, but. because of long time and close knit friendship, personal and political, might not do so against Kelly, indorsed. ' So. it is pointed out. the indorsement of Kelly might bring to the field gen erals of the Federated Societies the real Izalion of their hope for a two-banded, or at least a three-handed fight. J. D. Lee considered, between Olcott and their man. This seems to be the (picture of today. Tomorrow bad been Ufa time set down when the Indorsement was to have been forthcoming, but the grapevine says the day .may be postponed for a week, or maybe two. during which time Kelly will have returned to Portland, when things can be finally checked up, and an ultimate decision reached. In the meantime, however. Patterson, Hall and Gates are in town awaiting the word. TEX TEAR TERM GIVES McMinnvtlie. Feb. 3.
