Salem League of
Artists Changes
Name at Session
The regular monthly meeting for
April, of the Salem Arts league
keld in the public library lust night.
It aa decided to chance the name of
the league, from Salem Art league to
fjiem Art league, the latter name
being more suggestive of the scope of
me organization.
The object of the hague remains
me same as before: to help Salein be
come a community with an intelli
gent appreciation of the beautiful,
that beauty which manifests Itself In
many ways, as In architecture, pictor
ial and plastic art, music, literature,
photography and landscape garden
ing. : The league Is so constituted that
. starting with a few branches or sec
tions, dealing with certain manifesta
tions of beauty, it is posxlble for oth
ere to be added as Interent and op
portunity increases. " , '
The league looks for Individual de
velopment;, but individual develop,
ment Is not the ultimate object. It is
the unwritten law of the organization
that the individual shall forget him
self In his desire for the attaining of
broader purpose; and in the very act
of forgetting the personal desire, in
furthering the desire of the many. It
is hoped to attain Individual develop
Siient. , : - :
Mrs. Monroe Gilbert, president of
the league, said in jiart last night:
'8a!em is recognized us a -leadji' In
commercial activities in the west, and
the real object of the league Is to De
velop that love for beauty, that will
find a practical expression, sufficient
xor it to be said of us that we are
also pre-eminent in the arts, ns well"
1 A number of amendments were
made to the constitution. It whs de
cided tentatively to change the sched
Ulo of meeting dates. Hereafter there
will be two meetings each month, one
pertaining to butdnexs. with a pro
gram, representative of some one sec
tion following; the second meeting to
feature some outsldu lecturer of mus
ical talent, which will bo open to the
public. The first meeting of the lat
ter description will be May 4th,
when Miss Kthel Sawyer of the exten
sion department of the 1'ortlaiid pub
lid library, will (.peak upon the sub
ject ot "Fiction, nnd the . creative
reader." .

Rainy Weather
Forces Sea-Plane
to Abandon Trip
Pue to unfavorable weather condi
tions at Portland, the good seaplane
"Sea Gull" scheduled to fly from Port
land to Salem, Wednesday with ChtS-
Iter G. Murphy and Hoover petitions,
I was held in Portland after making fu
tile efforts to breast the uncertain
winds-
More than three thousands persons
gathered at the designated landing
place at the foot of Court street, Wed
nesday noon, were forced to forego
reception planned for the plane and
its oecurfants uiwn arrival here.
The large crowd was fathered along
the river bank near the proposed land
ing place and on the Marion-Polk
bridge. Several ambitious youths had
climbed to the superstructure of the
bridge or secured prominent vantage
point elsewhere. .
Mesu'.' received from Portland at
the noon hour stated that the flyers
would make efforts t be in Salem at
12:45 o'clock. Although previous an
nouncement had set the time of the
event at 12:30, the assemblage watted
patintly until final word was received
that the flight was abandoned for the
time.
Paul B. Wallace, president of the
Salem Hoover Republican club reports
that petition circulation in Salem has
met with good results and that the Sa
lem petitions will be filed at the secre
tary of sate' ore yrr, peti
tions from all other parts of the elate
arrive.
Anxious to have a "good view" of
the hrdroplane a dozen small boys ven
tared out on the undergirdors of the
imer-coiinrv brldre. The youngsters
j'faced the heavy gale that swept up
mid river with apparent unconcern Dut
spectators notified the police and Traf
fic Officer Moffitt appeared on the
scene and caused the youngsters to
hurrv back to safety. Several women
; who witnessed the perilous venture of
iihe lads were thrown on the verge oi
hvsterla and all wuuessea of the stunt
expressed the opinion that the foolish
venture might nave lernuuuieu in a
tragedy.

Mean Thief Takes
School Phonograph
Reports that someone had stolen
the phonograph which was the prop
erty of the pupils of the White school,
district Xo. 33, indicates that the Dis
honorable Order of Meaiest Thieves
has annexed at least one recruit."
Patrons of the school district have
appealed to Sheriff v.". I. '.Xeednani,
asking that he aid in tracing the per
petrators of the theft. JJtie to the
fact that no description of the ma
chine was given ther than that it
was valued a $75, the Marion county
sheriff was obliged to ask for more
definite information concerning the
incident which occurred on the night
of April 9.

If these long rows of horse-hair fly-swatters suggest

Tnterchtirch World Movement, there are practically
bone i f t!:c gtrm-lnkn pests. This is due largely to
the fact that garbage of all kinds is carried into the
fields and turned at once into the ground for fcrtilii

tips on -anitation from the heathen Chinese? 0
