VM Two fine panorama views of the Council Cent site have been taken the past week and are now in the pos session of the committee. One of them, taken from Fairmont .Boule-1 w "d 8 air the merits of the Coun vard to the south and west, shows I "1 Crest site. This committee will iniu vu mid nuutu tuiu nnvi iikiiii the wonderful view of the Tualatin Valley to be obtained from the heights and the other, taken from the hill south of the Fairvale Grocery, shows the remarkable stretch of level land available and the beauty of Council Crest in the background. These views are among the tangible results of the excursion Sunday af ternoon when a representativ gather ing of Washington County people drove over the site and viewed its matchless scenic grandeur. Tl;e re turn trip by way of the Canyon Road and the' Weed Nursery where the pe onies were in perfection of blossom, rounded out a delightful afternoon for those who took the trip. Three sites are available from the Coucil Crest) location. The first is the one proposed by Beaverton people which starts with Council Crest as the scenic background and extends south west to the level ground near the county line and is flanked on either sideaby matchless parking and camp ing grounds. This site is the most economical of the three and already contains ideal landscaping for the ex position. Many natural excavations provide places for lakes, lagoons, stadiums and other features of the exposition and renuires But little work to provide and ideal location. The second site ' nroDosed utilizes Council Crest as a starting point and extends east . along the ridge of mountains -toward the river. It con templates terracing the heights and unquestionably giveB a most scenic and attractive site, but would call for expensive enort in preparation. The third site affords a compromise oeiween tne two in the matter of ex penditure and would extend south and east from the crest, crossing the two electric lines and extending to the river along the valley to the south oz me mountains. HEALTH NURSE CONFERENCE TO BE HELD IN PORTLAND The Public Health Nurses' confer- ence will be held in Portland. June 20-25. The success of thes confrences is largely due to the fact that they are attended not only by nurses but by many others who are interested in Public Welfare work. To such, we would call attention to the following itn oi me weens program: Monday. 4:80 p. m. Room F. Cen tral Library. Demonstration Drills, Tuesday, 9:30 a. m. 1010 Selling Buildinsri Countv Association! n What Association committees may do. (b) How sub-committees may cooper ate with County Nurse, (c) Pub licity, etc. There will also be Round Table talks and free-for-all discussions. The County Health Nurse wishes to correct a false impression that pre vails in certain quarters, concerning her work of examining school children for defects, to the effect that she diagnoses and treats cases herself. This is not true. She simply examines the ehild and finding a defect that in her opinion needs attention, recom mends that the child be taken to its physician or dentist, as the case may wv, iur -ejutiniuatiun or treatment.

When he entered the Wilson cabinet he was worth $100,000. Former Vice Presi dent Marshall left Washington a poor man, alt ho fairly well off when he went there, Secretary Hughes gave up a million a year law practice for a $12,000 job as secretary of state. Roosevelt once said of his cabinet, "These men are content to sing them selves in tne public service without a tnougnt ox private advancement, and often at a heavy sacrifice." There is tar more real patriotism in the country than there is of the grand stand Kino tnat prates aoout it. CAMILLA MILLS WINS CLARA H.
