Greater Demand
for Girls Than Bows

When it comes to finding home for
a boy or girl between the ages of six
and twelve, all home placing agencies
find it much more difficult to place a
boy than q girl, This may be due to
the fact tnat the woman of the house
has the authority as who is to be
adopted and who isn't, and girl is
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 /, 1916, it
is more difficult to place boy than
girl. For this reason, although more
girls than boys pass through the home,
there are always more boys on hand.
During the past year, the boys and
girls Aid society of Oregon has cared
for 457 children of whom 1876 were
boys and 26l girls. Ninety of the chill
dren were placed in free homes; 2l2
We're replaced; 20 restored to parents;
2S to relatives; 27 TO other institutions
I were returned to the county 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 mgrudgingly by promi.
nent physicians of Portland and
through the services given by the st.
Vineent's hospital and tae, Good Sa-
maritan.
For the year ending May !, the com.
mitments of children from the differ
ent counties are as follows; Baker |,
Crook 4, Claekamas |, Columbia |, Clat-
sop IL, Coos 3, Douglas 3, Hood River
4, Jackhon 3, Klamath |, Lane ), Lin.
coin 4, Marion 6, Multnomah Is, Nal,
heur 4, Pouk 3, Sherman 4, Union 6
Umatilla I, Washington II, Wasco 8,
and Yamhill 5.
During the year the home had appli-
cations for 300 children of waom l40
were rejected In the home on the
last day of April, 1916, were "a boys
and 81 girls.

DIRECTORS SUBMIT
PLAYGROUND REPORT
Attendance for Month 5673---
Nearly 600 August a.
Closes Saturday

Miss Elizabeth Schultz and c. E
Ostrander, directors of the Albert Park
Fairgrounds, have submitted to the
Fairgrounds committee a report cover
ing the month of August ana giving q
detailed statement of the daily attend.
ance.
During the entire month, the total at
tendance was 5,673. The largest attend
ance for any one day was about 900 on
August "a. The attendance on Sundays
was not given but would probably aver
age $50 for each Sunday. During the
month, 107 family picnic parties were
held on the grounds; the largest num-
ber for any one day was 16. In addi.
ton to the family picnic parties there
was a picnic of one each for the follow
ing organizations: Sunday school, Y. W..
.C. A., grange, Cherrian, Spanish War
veterans and Happy Hour club.
The report of the directors states that
the conduct of the children has been
splendid. The safety of the swimming
hole has without doubt made swimming
the chief attraction and during the past
month the boating and swimming has
taken almost the undivided attention of
both instructors. On some afternoons
there were us many as $50 boys and
girls in the swimming pool. There have
been no serious accidents.
The great number of family picnic
parties, neighborhood picnic groups and
the various organizations who have
come to the grounds during the month
shows appreciation for such place as
the Albert Park Fairgrounds. They
came from all parts of the city and
some have come from the country sew
eral miles out. Mothers who realize that
no matter how large their own yard
is, their children crave association with
numbers and water sports, and came
for the day. They realize that a pool
under supervision is much cleaner and
safer place for their boys and girls than
the old swimming hole.
Monday, September 1, had been set
aside for Kite day and great was the
disappointment when the weather turn
ed out rainy with no wind for sailing
kites. Many beautiful kites were
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 Filipino boys. If the weather is
suitable, the Kite day performance will
take place on Friday, at O'Clock.
Children are urged to bring their kites
on 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

 This fact, coupled with Major Tompkins's report of the subsequent attack, caused officers here to ex- press the iopinion that he and his men had been deliberately led into a trap, although perhaps not with the knowledge of Gen. Lozano, com manding officer.
 Major Howze reported it as a fact that Villa was in the mountains southwest of San F'ranciso Borjas which is northwest Of Parral. He gave the names of those hit during his skirmishes near San Francisco Borjas as:
 Kirby, enlisted man, dead.
 = Perroski and - Clifton wounded, all of the Eleventh Cavalry.
 Major Tompkins's wound was de- scribed as a slight wound in the breast.
 Gen. Pershfng reported today to Gen. Funston that a, small band of Mexicans presumably Villa men, had attacked the supply train short dis tance north of Satevo Friday night. One Mexican was killed, the Ameri- cans losing none. This is believed to be the same attack previously re- ported by correspondent at the front.
