SUPERB TEST MADE.

Under the eyes of million loyal
Americans, in one of the glorious har-
bors of the world, on perfect Cali
fornia day, the might and arms OF
the nation, as represented by the navy,
have passed in review on the final
movement of one of the most superb
tests ever given fleet of ships in the
known world. 1t is a wonderful dem
onstration of the skill, and materials,
and industrial faculty of the nation in
the modelling and building OF such a
navy, and gives the lie to the hyper
critics that have endeavored to shame
and belitt1e it.
OF course it is not war test; but
it is a test of the fitness of the ves-
sells to stand enormous strains OF sea
and gale and all the stress of the main.
And in the event of war, such ships in
the hands of the right men, will leave
their marks where they will do the
most good, or we miss Our guess.
Thirteen thousand miles without
break or delay or loss indicates a
safe and solid construction that
means something more than mere sea-
worthiness, and in face Of the techni-
cal and far-fetched structures that
have been laid at the door of their
builders and designers, we shall pin
our faith to the last one Of them and
look for the old-time report Of vic
tory and success that has become the
dearest tradition Of the country.
We can imagine the thrill of pride
that swept the eager hosts on the
heights about San Francisco, when
the Armada swung in the Golden
Gate and up the bay girdled with
mountainous hills and island noun
tains, and we wish the same sight
might be offered us here in the great
Columbia; but they are all ours, just
the same; and our pride is not les
sened one whit because Of the denial

youth to include girls A clergyman who is an es-
pecialy earnest and devoted social worker not long
ago made touching and most convincing appeal
before body of wealthy men and women for provid-
ing the boy with recreation and betterment agencies
Help the boy by giving him a recreation refuge
which shall be educational and morally uplifting was
the burden of the plea, but attention made
of the social needs of the girls of the same class
and standing equally in need of help. Yet the rec
ords of institutions indicate all too plainly that girls
are tragcaly in need of agencies that shall guide
them in their choice of amusement.
Those leaders who refuse to accept the economic
and social conditions of this generation ignore the
fact that hundreds of thousands of girls alien to cities
have left their homes to live in the great ceners iso
lated from the protecting influences of family and in
the depressing atmosphere of hard work and mser-
able living arrangements These young girls are in
far greater need of all the aids physical and moral
health that comprised in the plan and scope of the
7. NJ Z. A. movement than are the young men for
whom so much is done The immediate requirement
is that the chivalry which bases its attitude toward
girls one quarter of century old, and wholly out
grown social and economic conditions shall right
about tace accept the facts of present day life and
give young women square deal in the matter of
recreation and self-improvement

Women at Work.

1t is told by the East Oregonian that Pendleton,
Oregon, employs more women as teachers, clerks,
solicitors, collectors and in other professional and
commercial lines than any other city in the inland
empire and she is proud of them
Every store in the city has its large quota of
clerks, bookkeeprs cashiers and seamstresses
Every office has its office girl and stenographer and
perhaps 90 per cent of the business houses of the
city to be found women or girls regularly
ployed.
1t gives fine tone, high standard to the business
atmosphere to have many women engaged in
active work There is an incentive to refinement,
good order and cheerfulness in the presence of
women and in no other place earth has this in
centive been far-reachng and effective as in the
business world.
Pendleton is proud of her girls who work. 1t is an
elevating noble thought to think, that in this adj
vanced day and age there is place for woman in the
active business and professional circles of the world
after many centuries of the world, after so many
centuries of bgotry and prejudice and it also good
to know that there fine superb women to fill this
place.

out to discourage every effort to free women from
the disabilities imposed by earlier civilization is the
But the modern woman long ago realized that the
chlvary referred to is a sentiment which does not
take into account the changes in social life and
economics that have made it impossible for girls
to remain in the shelter of their homes to anything
like the extent they did recently as quarter
of century ago, says Vogue This out-worn chv-
airy may regard with horror the suggestion of
young girl becoming factory operative, but, alas
the memorable requirements of food and shelter have
compelled many thousands of them all over the world
to take up factory life and what is now required is

The Sphere of Woman.

II recently listened to a debate in of the
debating societies of Chicago upon the momentous
question of woman suffrage" began Harry F.
Harmer, attorney of that place, according to the
Washington Herald. Mr.. Harmer is at the Airing
ton, and continued his funny story" as follows:
"The debater upon the "anti-woman' side was
doubtless engaged in his first effort. This fact to-
gether with slight impeachment of speech and
most original series of arguments, combined to pro-
duce one of the funniest and most unanswerable
speeches that I had ever heard Here it is almost
in full:

out is w-w-what man m-made for. God Gre
ated Adam first, and put him in the Garden of
Eden. T-then He made Eve and put her there,

adopted by Royalty.

Tit Bits states that the interest which the Prin-
of Wales recently exhibited in the welfare of
little Alice Steel, former inmate of the Village
Home at Alderstone, founded in memory of her
royal highness mother the late Duchess of Teck,
has been the subject of considerable comment. The
princess not only sent her protege presents from
India during the royal tour but has caused the
little girl to be removed from the Village Home
and sent to a good school, and furthermore has
promised to provide for her future.
The role of fairy godmother thus taken up by the
Princess of Wales reminds one that the Czarina,
the Queen of Holland and the German Empress
have each practically adopted several children, and
made themselves responsible for the education and
future of the youngsters. Three of the Czarna'S
adoptions are children of officers killed in the war
with Japan, while the German Empress, who has
caused many homes for poor and destitute women
and children to be established throughout the coun-
try which her husband reigns, has specially
adopted an orphan brother and sister whose par
ents were burned to death in hotel fire in Berlin.
Possessing no children of her own the Queen of
Holland lavishes a great deal of affection two
little girls Pauline and Helena Verbek, the children
of one of her husbands aides de-camp, who about
three years ago was killed while trying to save the
life of certain of the court whose horse had
boed The ade-de-camp managed to stop the horse
but received such injuries that he died shortly after
ward. Queen Wihelmina affected by the
mans bravery that hearing that his two children,
whose mother had died time previously,
left i'll provided for she took them into the royal
household, and has practically adopted them as her
own, although, of course, they do not enjoy any of
those royal privileges which would fall to child of
her own.
The ultimate fate of these royal proteges is not
always a happy one judging by that of Countess
Larisch, who, at early age, adopted by the
i'll fated Empress Elizabeth of Austria The countess
was really the Empress niece being the daughter
of Duke Louis of Bavaria by his morganatic
rage with the actress Henrietta Mendel The lat
ter received on the occasion of her marriage the
title of Baroness Wallersee, and this also
corded to the child which she bore to the duke, and
who was christened Marie
This child was brought up almost entirely by the
Empress at the court of Austria and ultimately
ried Count George Larsch. Unfortunately, the
extravaganza led her into conduct which
resulted in her being forced to leave Austria and
deprived her of her rank lady of the palace

Prospects are bright for a splendid
years work in the high school. This
morning a total of 1913 students en-
rolled, that being nine more than
the number on the opening day last
year. Therefore it is evident that the
attendance will be larger than last
year. OF those registering today is
are seniors, 81 juniors, SO sophomores
and 80 freshmen.
School spirit and enthusiasm is al
so strong again this year and from
present indications the school year
will be marked by harmony and good
cooperation between the students and
faculty.
Before the close of school last year
the student body elected officers for
this year as follows: Harold Warner,
president; Ina Rippy, vice president;
and Hazel Means. secretary. These
officers will serve during the year.
The three officers, together with the
high school principal and city super

That some big gambling games are
being conducted on the quiet about
the city has been freely rumored OF

keeping a watchful eye. But thus far
they have been unable to butt in
upon the charmed circle where pok-
