DR.. Wade Will
Speak Tonight
AT ME-. Church

Through the failure of another
engagement, DR.. Raymond J.
Wade of Chicago will deliver an
illustrated lecture at the First
Methodist Episcopal church to-
night at 7:40 o'clock, on 'The
World Today and Tomorrow"
The pictures to be shown are
the same as those of DR.. Ralph
Diffendorfer, whose engagement to
speak in Salem a short time ago
had to be cancelled. They are the
best possible obtainable and will
throw much light on conditions in
various parts of the world today,
and the work being done by the
church at home and abroad.
Dr. Wade is a speaker of nation
al reputation. He was called to
Portland by the board of bishops
to advise with them concerning
the benevolent boards of the
Methodist church. AS secretary of
the council of the board of benevo-
lence, he probably knows more
than any other man about mission
airy movements of the church.

Hughes Skaters
old Traditions:
Lunch Hour Short

Washington. May 20.-Charles
Evans Hughes, secretary OF state,
bids fart ruin one perfectly good
government institution, to-wit,
lunch"
Lunch to government officials,
particularly high government Off
cials, has meant far more than a
mere midday meal. For many
years lunch" has covered a null
titude of leisure.
Calling at an officials office al
11:45 one has been very likely to
be informed that the secretary of
afafirs with Borneo has lust step
ped out to lunch. When will he
be back?" "Oh, very shortly" That
sounds well. but after the first
visit the wise one takes no stock in
the very shortly" Instead he goes
out and eats leisurely lunch, sees
a motion picture show and then
drops back on the secretary about
three in the afternoon and learns
that "he isn't back from lunch but
we expect him very shortly" This
time the wise visitor sticks, for If
he leaves an returns at four o'clock
he is apt to find that the secre-
tary has gone to tea.
Now along comes Mr.. Hughes of
New York and institutes the 29-
minute lunch hour. Think of that!
A lot of officials in the state de-
partmen have been thinking of it
and their thoughts would not per-
NIT of publication, for when the
chief is in the department it is
best his aids be there also.
Mr.. Hughes doesn't take his
lunch at any regular hour, but
when he leaves his office for the
Metropolitan club his doorkeeper
and the rest of his staff know that
he will be back in twenty-nine
minutes.
Present indications are that
lunch" may once more become
nothing but a midday meal in
Washington.

Lane was a member while secre-

my deep and profound SYM
pathy goes to YOU, sympathy
pervaded by the sense of losing
the friendship OF one OF the mob
lest and most human Americans OF
his time. From the early days OF
the war and OF the Council OF
National Defense OF which your
husband was a vital member, he
always gave me counsel that was
wise and sustaining and remark
able In its understanding OF the
needs Of the country and OF our
allies and. above all. OF the human
heart in time OF war. His cour-
age was exemplified by the blunt
manner in which. on his own int
tiatiye. he told about the actual
losses caused by submarine when
We were but half awake to our
part in the war. AS illustrating
his vision l recall distinctly that
In the Council of National Defense
meeting of March "a. 1917 he said
plainly that we would need, Al
100000 fighting men and that
We should provide for them inn
mediately.
He was a superb servant OF the
republic and no less so because he
was always for the under dog.
His memory should be as warm
and as resonant and as colorful as
was his own attitude toward life.

Buffalo BIl,-s Quick VIII.

Col. William F. Cody, while travel.
ing in Europe in 1891 with his Wild
West show, was on quite intimate
terms with royalty. On Buffalo Bills
advent into Berlin Emperor William
was entertaining three kings of small.
er German powers. One feature of the
Wild West performance was the ex.
hibition of an antiQuated Deadwood
coach, containing passengers who were
attacked by Indians and rescued by
cowboys. The kaiser asked that he
and his guests be allowed to ride in
this vehicle during a performance,
and Of course the request was granted.
After the usual attack and rescue the
emperor remarked:
Colonel Cody,'I don't suppose this
is the first time that you have held
four kings?"
mo, your majesty" replied the
scout, you are right. but 1t is the first
occasion that l ever held four kings

Some hundreds Of years ago there
lived in Agshelin, little town in Asia
Minor, an imam, or village parson, the
Khoja Nasr-ed-Din Effendi, concerning
whom some interesting tales are told.
One day, it appears, a camel passed
alorg the street in which the kho1a
lived, and one of the khoja's neighbors
who had never seen camel before
ran to ask him what this strange beast
might be.

A great man once gave a feast, to
which, with much condescension, he
caused the khoja TO be hidden. Ac-
cordingly, on the appointed day the
khoja repaired to the great mans
house and found himself in the midst
of a fashionable and richly clad COM
pany, which took no notice of the poor
imam in his threadbare black gown.
No one greeted him or spoke to him.,
and eventually he was shown by a
servant to the lowest seat. After a
little while the khoja slipped away
unobserved and went into the hall,
where some Of the mighty ones had
left their outer garments. Selecting
magnificent gown richly lined with
fur, he put it on and returned to the
room. Nobody recognized this re-
splendent parsonage, whose arrival ex-
cited universal attention. The COM

Chinese Shoes.

Making shoes is the interminable
task of Chinese women, from youth
to old age. Travellers see them busy
in every moment, when necessity does
not require attention to some other
work, plying the threads back and
forth, in and out, in their endless eff
fort to keep the men Of their house
hold supplied with footwear. Where
there is surplus, the shoes are sold
to the shops.
Only Goth and paper are used. Th'
thickness of the soles, of alternating
layers of cloth and paper held to-
gether by paste, often indicate in varta-
tions of from One-half to two inches,
the wealth of the ~earers. The shoes
are toiseless and comfortable, but on
rainy days China stays indoors be-
cause the shoes readily absorb water.
The women make their own tiny
shoes in the seciusiOn of their quar-
ters. even the husband being forbidden
to watch their manufacture.
