Ihe many admirers or Miss Mary
Schultz, gifted Salem yiolinist, win be
interested to hear that she is eontinu-
ing her musical studies this winter in
New York under Alexander Bloch, the
assistant of Leopold Auer. one of the
foremost. violinists of the country. A
splendid opportunity for cooperative
study was afforded Miss Schultz this
summer. when she joined summer
musical colony situated at Lake George
New York, which was composed Of the
violin classes of both Mr.. Bloch and
Professor Auer. Miss Schultz plans
eventually to return to the coast to
follow her art professionally.
Residing with Miss Schultz in New
York is her sister, Miss Elizabeth
Schultz, another well known Salem
girl, who is now connected with the
New York branch Of the Hood River
Valley Apple association. Her work is
of a most absorbing nature. and one
that naturally keeps her in more or less
close touch with the Oregon country
and conditions here.
Miss Ruth Schultz, another sister, is
at the Bremerton navy yards in Wash
ington, where she holds position,
nowadays envied of all girls aspiring
toward that branch of the service. that
of Yeomanette. Miss Schultz left Sa-
lem late this summer for Bremerton.
Though owing to the recent orders
of Mayor Baker of Portland prohibit
| ing any large gatherings, it was impos-
sible to assemble representatives of
the various women's organizations of
Portland to hear Mrs. Henry P. Dav-
ison of New York, national chairman
of the woman s committee of the Unit
ed War Work campaign, on the ocea-
sion OF her Portland visit Wednesday
Mrs. Dawson addressed instead three
small groups. who gathered at the
homes of Mrs Helen Ladd Corbett,
Mrs. J. G. Costello and Mrs. Julius
Lonisson.
Mrs. Dawson is touring the coast
for the purpose of uniting women in
the different communities in the cam
paign for $l70000,000 which will be
made next month by united war activ.
| ties.
At each meeting she gave the women
assembled a short history of the de.
velopment Of the woman Is committee
and outlined the many avenues along
which the work of the women in the
second line Of defense is reaching the
women near the front.
81 bring message from the women
at the front to the women behind the
lines,n said Mrs. Dawson yesterday
s'This message is an appeal for more
| in the line Of recrcational work among
the women who are replacing men in
the war industries.
! H0nly few weeks ago an appeal
was made to the Y. w. 9. A. by Chair.
man Fosdicl, of the war camp commu-
nifty service. for relief ON the grave
situation now confronting washington
d. G. Over so per cent of the girls EN-,
ployed in government work are leaving
the capital weekly because of the poor
housing conditions and the lack of rec.
lreational advantages. To relieve this
situation through the government would
mean to put the matter before con
gress and face delay that would be
disastrous at this moment. Thus the ap-
peal has come direct to the Y. W. c. A,
and the entire responsibility in the
matter Is turned over to us.
''The girls have been thrust into
munition factories which have sprung
| up in isolated districts and they find
themselves with only the rudest com
forts and nothing to vary the monot
ony of the terrific strain of the work
AS fast as we can we are relieving this
situation with recreation centers, plac
es often OF rude construction but con.
tanning bright spot with piano and
a trained worker to inspire amusement
at the end OF the day"
Attracting much attention from leis
urely shoppers these inviting sunny af
ternoons of late fall is the brilliant
dahlia display with its corresponding
splash of gorgeous colorings, now on
exhibit in the windows of the Capital
Drug store. The blooms are grown by
Mrs. +. Il. Purvine and by reason OF
their exceptional markings are arous
| ing considerable enthusiasm on the
part of local dahlia lovers. All shades
| from the royal purple to the apple bios
som pink are in regal evidence, includ.
ing such novelties as the Myerbeer,
Van Dyke. Edith Carter and Holman
Hunt. Mrs Purvine also had hand
some exhibit of blooms at the state
fair this year.
