SOCIETY WOMEN giving
MORE time To BABIES

Cambridge, Mass, April 12.-That
the women of society are fast coming
to realize that their children in in
fancy are something more than pawns
in the game of life and need the per-
sonal attention of their mothers is the
assertion made by DR.. John Lovett
Morse of the Harvard Medical School.
at is indeed encouraging to know
that the society woman of today is
really taking an interest in her chill
dren," said DR.. Morse. "The unnatur.
al conditions, so justly and commonly
held up to censure ten years ago, are
fast disappearing. The society wo
man of today, to be sure, still has her
parties and her balls to attend, and
she still has her receptions. But she
no more occupies herself so exclusive
ly with her pleasures that she for
gets her offspring. She has begun tC
realize that the ideal food for the in
FAINT is that intended by nature and
that all substitutes can be acceptable
only in a degree"

WILL SELL UNCALLED
FOR EXPRESS PACKS

a remarkable sale and one that
may be productive of some peculiar
surprises will occur here on March
16 when Manager Parlett of the Am
erican Express company will conduct
an auction sale for the purpose of dis
posing of uncalled for express pack
ages.
1T is the first sale the American
express company has held in the state
since the company took over the bus
mess of the Pacific Express company
and the sale will include all the un-
called for packages held by the COM
pany in Oregon" said Mr.. Parlett In
speaking of the coming event today.
When the auction is held all the
left over parcels of whatever descrip-
tion will be offered for sale to the
highest bidders and all will be allow
ed to take a chance. Would-be pur-
chasers will not be allowed to ex-
anime packages, however, to see
what is inside of them
1t will be a gamble as to what they
will get. A buyer may draw a pack
age containing costly jewelry or he
may get few pairs of old socks 1t
will all depend upon whether or not
it is his lucky day.
According to Parlett the express
company has nearly a half carload
of uncalled for packages on hand
and they will all be offered for sale
here on March 16.

Funk Had Rosy Poll.

Deputy Sheriff A. c. Funk was sub
jected to considerable embarrassment
this afternoon due to a practical joke
played on him by Charles Marsh. The
genial secretary of the Hartman Alb
stract company had secured a guam
tity of French rouge, had poured it
in his hand and in caressing way
and managed to transfer it to the
top of the deputy sheriff's head,
which is rather barren of vegetation.

The rosy hue on his ivory dome shone
resplendently and attracted the at

and it was some time before Mr.
Funk could fathom the meaning of
the looks of establishment and am
usement which decorated the coun-
tenances of his callers.

retary ]. E. Keefe appealed to the
membership of the club to support
and cooperate with the newly elect
ed officers in the making of the or
ganization an active, potent factor in
the advancement and progress of the
city and community. In no uncer-
tain terms he censured the business
man who is a laggard in his public
duties and denounced the man who
accepts the honor of an office or

responsibilities which it carries.
To Ask Subscriptions.
Secretary Keefe, in the course Of
his remarks. announced that pa
per would soon be circulated among
the business men for subscriptions

WAS APPRECIATED

1t was a delighted audience that
listened to the reading of Maeter-
linck's THE Blue Bird by Cora Mel
Patten at the City Hall auditorium
last evening under the patronage Of
the Women's Clubs. The charm of
the beautiful allegorical drama, rep
resenting the quest for the Source of
Happiness, was fully realized in the
subtle and intelligent Interpretation
by Miss Patten. The naturalness of
Miss Patterns art lends itself admir-
ably to the tender simplicity of Mat
terlinck's drama and the large audi
ence was impressed with the Won
derful truth of the lesson contained
in THE Blue Bird" The entertain
ment was one Of the things really
worth while that Pendleton people
have had the privilege of enjoying
this year.

Pendleton Is to take up the Men
and Religion Forward Movement
which began in the east several years
ago and which has been spreading all

sociation last night, Principal A. G.
Hampton OF the high school, called
attention to convention which is to
be held in Walla Walla all next week

to send a delegation of young men.
He had originally intended to ask the
association for financial aid in send
ing the representation but, owing to
the deficit which the treasurer's re-
port showed, he and superintendent

would be unjust and simply stated
that IL any member personally felt
like contributing towards the ex-
penses, their contributions would be
gratefully received.

Ell Paso, Texas, Feb. 7.-Indica-
tions today are that Email vasquez
Gomez is active head of the Mexican
revolution and that 1t is gaining
alarming proportions, following the
arrival here today of Paslin Marti-
nez, Gomez former secretary, who
will establish an insurrection junta
here, and receipt of advices stating
that in addition to the trouble in
Chihuahua that the state of Coaluaila
is also in open revolt against the Ma
dero government other Gomez fol-
lowers are also arriving here.
1t is believed here that General
Orozco will turn traitor to President
Madero and join forces with General
Gomez in an effort to overthrow the
Madero administration
Reports have reached here stating
that number Of bridges on the
Mexican Northwestern railroad have
been dynamited and Abraham Con-
zales has been imprisoned at Tor
reon.
Despite the reports of his intention
to desert Madero, General Orozco has
issued statement in which he de-
clares that the state of Chihuahua
will not secede and that he will re-
main loyal to President Msdero
A statement, issued by the Gomez
junta this afternoon, was intended to
assure the American government that
while a majority of Mexicans favor
Gomez for president, that the Mexi-
cans, in America, won't be asked to
contribute to the cause.
A watchful eye over Gomez is be-
ing kept by American troops and if
any attempts are made to smuggle
Mexican armed men across the bord-
er, trouble will result.

AS result, a committee was ap-
pointed consisting of Secretary Keefe
and the two school men, to make an
endeavor to secure such offerings and
already enough money has been Sc
cured to send over eight boys. Dean
Tatom volunteered to pay the ,ex-
penses of five delegates and Judge
Stephen A. Lowell, A. J. McAllister
and c. P. Bishop each agreed to send
one boy. The committee desires that
any one wishing to help in the cause
tender the money to any one of the
three members.
In explaining the movement last
evening, Superintendent Landers and
Principal Hampton declared its pur-
pose to be to secure good thinking
and acting among the boys to the end
that a clean manhood be developed
all over the nation. The movement
is non-sectarisn one and Is domi-
mated only by its one fundamental
purpose.

BOULEVARD OF HARD
SURFACE FOR CITY

If a move that is now under way
is carried out successfully Pendleton
will be provided with hard surface
boulevard extending from the Main
street bridge to the edge of the city
limits and perhaps clear through to
the branch asylum grounds.
Councilmen are now discussing the
proposition of ordering the paving of
Jackson and Raley streets and of one
and possibly two streets connecting
those thoroughfares. One route sug-
gested is for Bush street to be paved
from Jackson to Raley so as to pro-
vide q thoroughfare running along
Jackson, Bush and Raley streets to
the branch hospital. However, the
advocates of this plan would also
pave Jackson street to the end of
that thoroughfare and provide an
other street. possibly Logan or Per-
kins avenue, leading down to Raley
street.
1t is contemplated to provide wide
parking on either side of the boule-
ward so as to make the hard surface
paving as narrow as possible. 1t is
suggested that Lower Jackson should
be paved for width of 80 to SO feet
while Raley street and the connect
ing streets will not need such wide
driveway as that Those who uphold
the hard surface plan declare that
considering durability the hard sur
face paving is not as expensive as
macadam.
1t was originally intended to bring
the east side paving proposition be-
fore the council tonight, but owing
to the fact that the matter has not
been sufficiently considered by the
street committee it is probable the
matter will go over for week.
Mayor Matlock, who is a heavy
property owner on Raley street, is
quoted as advocating a hard surface
boulevard clear to the edge of the
city.

role for DarrOw
