TO PROTECT YOUNG GIRLS
Portland big Sister Society Prom
ises Much Good

AoCc muEu 0COu.
! Portland has a "Big Sisterhood. .
an unique society, which invites the
interest and cooperation Of mothers
and daughters and other members of
families throughout the state Of Ore
gon. This society is quite informal in
It's organization. its aim being to give
friendly aid and counsel to girls who
are alone in Portland, or who for anv
reason are in reed Of "Big Sister. 3"
The work Of the society is not offered
as a charity, but is just the friendIi-
ness Of one woman for another, or
" Big Sister" for a "Little Sister. "
So many girls going to the city
from the country or small towns have
fallen into misfortune through the
want Of friend, or in some cases
have been utterly lost to their home
people, that these Portland women
have associated themselves to extend
the friendly hand to girls and women
who need any kind Of help whatever.
II girls, OF the parents Of girls. who
are going to Portland will write to
the ''Big Sisterhood." care Of the
Peoples Institute, arrangements will |
be made to give them such attention
as they may wish on reaching the city
and their welfare will be looked after
by "'Big Sisters" who will take
pleasure in knowing them, and help
ing them. So many sad things hap
pen every day to girls who come to
Portland from small towns and the
country, that the Importance Of this
acquaintance with the "Big Sisters"
s urged upon mothers and daughters
the state.

A railroad journey today, even
in the democracy Of the day coach,
is not quite such a matter OF storm
aud stress as formerly. A car of
twenty years ago would seem like

back and almost springiess seats,
and chinks called windows about
the height Of ones head. Never
theless, railroad corporations are
Eslow to make needed changes.
In Louisiana, the legislature re.
Gently ordered the rail- Dads to put
linen covers on car seats in sum

have yielded and sticky plush
gives way to the grateful cool of
linen, May 10. Travellers here
abOuts take notice.
1t is customary to say, while
European railroads have compare
lively few accidents, that our roads
provide much more comfort. True
for the downy luxury of the
American Pullman. But very
far from true for the great mass
of the unWashen, who must jostle
with their fellows in the gatherings
of the day coach.
The European compartment car
provides q seat with a high cush-
Toned back on which the head
rests comfortably. A man with
an easy conscience could sleep.
The American day coach saws
of the support for the head at or
below the shoulders. Hence the
contorted bow.knots in which pas
Sengers tie themselves to secure
support for webbing and weary
heads, Some lean against 1.-The
pointed window casing, until the
skull is well dented. Others slump
until the body makes a straight
line from the topof the back to
the edge of the seat, leaving the
back, natures weakest point, IN
supported and aching.

back seats and other comforts Of
railroad travel are usually denied

for their installation Or is it to
force passengers to pay the extra
charge for the PullmanY
