The trip home was Ttneventful in the main and was marred by but ono sad incident at Siskiyou. At llornbrook the last wet town in California, the hoys of too whole battalion felt a sud oVu thirst.

Greater Demand for Girls Than Boys When it comes to finding a home for a boy or girl between the ages of six and twelve, nil home placing agencies find it much more difficult to place a. boy than a girl. This may be dun to the fact that the woman of the housoj has the authority us who is to boj adopted and who isn t, ami a girl isj really of more use about the household; work and can about make her labor pay her way. At least, according to the 30th an nual report of the boys' and girls' Aid society of Oregon, for May 1, 1910, it is more difficult to place a boy than gnl. For this reason, although more girls til no boys pass through the home, there are always more boys on hand. During the past year, the boys' and girls' Aid society of Oregou has cared for 457 children of whom 19(1 were boys and 2tll girls. Ninety of the ehil- .Lin ,.l..,.u.l In fr.... 91 were replaced; 32 restored to parents;! 2S to relatives; 27 to other institutions 7 were returned to the comity courts from which they come, and four become of legal age. According to the report, five out of seven of the children that come to the home are in need of medical attention. This is given ungrudgingly by promi nent physicians of Portland and through the services given by the St. Vincent's hospital and the. Good Sa mnritnn. ' For the year eliding May 1, the com mitments of children from the differ ent counties are as follows: Baker 1, Crook 4, Clackamas 1.

THE VAGABOND TODAY and TOMORROW Biioh Theater - U I Attendance for Month 5673 Nearly 600 August 24 Closes Saturday Miss Elizabeth Schultz and C. E Ostrauder, directors of the Albert Park Playgrounds, have submitted to th playgrounds corSuiittee a report cover ing the month of August nnd giving s detailed statement of the daily attend ance. During the entire month, the total nt tendance was 5,073. The largest attend ance for any one day was ubout 000 on August 24. -The attendance on Sundayi was not given but would probably aver age 250 for each Sunday. During tin month, 107 family picnic parties wore held on the grounds; the largest num ber for any one day was 10. In aildi- tioii to tlie family picnic parties more. was a picnic of one each for the follow- 'Ms ,B"I,'",,",,D-"V""' . ' C. A., grange,. Cherrian, .Spanish War veterans and Happy Hour club. The renort of the directors states that the conduct of the children has been splendid. The safety of the swimming hole has without doubt made swimming Ihe chief attraction and during the past month the boating and swimming has taken almost the undivided attention of both instructors. On some afternoons brought to the grounds and some of them had required a great deal of skill ed work and were things of beauty; this was notably so with the kites built by the Filipjno boys. If the weather is suitable, the Kite day performance will take place on Friday, at 4 o'clock. Children are urged to bring their kites aon that day and others who have not done so are requested to build kites and be present with them. A suitable prize for first and second best kites will be awarded. It was intended to keep the grounds open until September 15, but it is now -i i - - thought perhaps better to close on Sep tember ft. All children are requested to make their farewell visit to tlie play grounds this week. Parents and chil dren who have not yet visited the grounds are especially invited to come and see the place before the apparatus is taken down. The water in the swim ming hole is especially fine nt this time and swimming will be a continued fea ture of the remaining days of the plnj grounds.

Bowling Season Opened Last night The Corvallis Beavers proved easy fot the local boys ou the Salem alleys last night. This' was the opening game o! the bowling season, and while some oi the boys were a little off form, -they showed enough to convince us that this season Salem will have a bowling team second to none in the valley and one that can hold their own with any of the 1 Portland quintettes. The Corvallis ; team was strengthened by the addi tion of Fred Raymond, the crack Port land bowler, "who will caftain that team this season, but the local boys were not to be denied the opening game, and won j by the Vide margin of 270 pins. A ' meeting will be held next week to or ganize the valley league and it is ex pected that the suiiedule will be ready by October 1. Every afternoon from ' 2 to 5 will be Indies' day on the local alleys, and the fair bowlers will be giv ' en a half price rate.

H. Moore. At the police station the boy made a clean breast of his operations cov ering the past few days. He persists tha't he has worked entirely alone. On Saturday night he broke into Steinboch's second hand store, at Com mercial and Cheineketu streets, taking a comet and" about if 15 in buffalo nickels. The same night he entered Scott's second hand store on Court street by way of the skylight, and again lust night, taking two watches and ir'1.25 in money. Last night also he entered Stiff's store at Court and Liberty and tonk 0.15 from the ensh register. At Watt Shipp's last night he took a bicycle. It was the effort to dis pose of parts of this that led to his apprehension. Chief of Police Welsh states that the boy has been concerned in a number of petty thieveries prior to this time, but that because of his age no action has been taken against him. lie has been turned over to tlie juvenile court.
