IMPRISONMENT
By Mrs s.. Campbell
CLUB TO PROCEE D
ON BUILDING
NEW HOME

The Ten Thousand club will proceed
at once with the building of the new
clubhouse, the contract having been
awarded to f.. Girard by vote of the
members at Thursdays meeting. Three
bids had been received by the building
committee, Mr.. Girard s being several
hundred dollars lower than either of
the others. The cost of the building
when complete viii, be $S,704 with Ore
gon pine floors, or something over 5000
in excess Of that figure if it is decided
to use maple for the floors. The latter
question was discussed but no vote was
taken On it.
The building will incorporate the
house now on the lots, which will be
converted into a tea room, with a
kitchen built on, The tea room will
open into the lobby which forms the
main entrance to the auditorium on
Seventh street. The auditorium will be
all new and will be 80 X So feet in
dimensions, with q commOdiOus stage
with dressing rooms at one end. 1t was
stated by Architect Wells that it will
have a seating capacity of 300.
Plans For Club House
The inside finish of the auditorium
will be in plaster with walls tinted, and
stained wood finish in color yet to be
decided upon. The tea room will be in
ivory enamel and the kitchen, in white.
The outside will be painted and perfect
! ly finished according to the plans and
| specifications which have. been under
consideration by the building committee
for some months. Blue prints of eleva-
tions and floor plan were shown to the
club yesterday afternoon and necessary
explanations were given by the archi.
tect. While the building is somewhat
smaller than some would have had it, it
is thought by club leaders to be- entire
ly adequate for the needs Of the organ
iZation for some years to come and will
present neat and attractive appear
ance all around. It will be located al
the corner Of Olive and Seventh where
the club has long owned two lots, 12(
by 100 feet. Being close to town, it i.
expected that considerable revenue viii
be derived from rental of the building
for various entertainments as well a
for social and other purposes. T h

VOCATION OF HOME MAKING
IN SCHOOLS

The value to society of home-making
education is recognized not only by
school authorities but by the cOmmun-
lty at large as indicated by the num-
Der of schools both elementary and
secondary which are putting in courses
in domestic science for girls as re-
uurement for graduation. Maude H.
Murchie a recognized authority, says
that the school of tomorrow will un'
doubtedly prepare the girl for her dual
vocation in life as Il citizen home max
er and wagc-earner.
Of the 337 high schools listed in the
directory for the school year 1920
1927, all but thirtyfivc offered in
structon in the vocation Of home max
ing.
The state department Of education
believes in this type of education and
urges that all schools do something
along th:se lines. Miss Murchie says
that the work should have two aims
one to idealize the home and thereby
develop the home making spirit to the
end that all girls will look upon this
vocation as second to none in the i'm
portance of society; and secondly tt
provide suitable instruction in the art
of home making.
The FL Centre ladies who have come
close to the life of the schools this
year in the p. II. A. and Y. w. G. A
work have highly praised the girls Of
the home economies departments botf
in the elementary Ind high schools
They have served dainties cooked il
the school kitchens and well cooked
and their exhibits Of garments have
shown artistic as well as practical abil
ity that some of their mothers do no
possess. Nss3+t q

SPEAKS OF SPIRIT
IN CLUB

i ~
Before taking up the clubhouse plans
ut yesterdays meeting of the Ten
Thousand club, the president spoke i'm
pressively of the spirit that should
rule in the discussion, quoting from
the Club Collect the two closing para
graphs: "Grant that we may realize
that it is the little things that create
differences; that in the big things of
life, we are as one.
"And may we strive to touch and
know the great common woman s heart
Of us all, and let us not forget to be
kind. -
She invited constructive criticism but
deplored that which would tear down
and destrOy For the most part her
admonitions were obeyed and the final
action was taken with more than the
usual unanimty upon such large pro-
positions. AS all must get under and
boost, and all work together for the
lifting Of the debt that must be in
CURED in the building, it is imperative
that no dissensions arise now or here
after that will hinder the project. The
club has n membership at this time of
40. With all of one mind, the work
can not but go forward.

Mrs. Roy Thompson of the Year Book
committee announced that, the next
meeting of the club will be held ON
April IS, week before the regular
time, and will be open to all women of
the city. Miss Ethel Philips of Los
Angeles will be the speaker Of the day.
Mrs. George Turner of Riverside was
at rather disadvantage when she
opened her address after the long busi
ness session, but she was not long in
catching the interest of her audience
which she held until late hour. Mrs.
Turner is nature lover, her special
delight being birds. Her address was,
as she said, rather to entertain than to
educate, being devoted to series of
stories on bird ways as she has learned
them from actual observation. She
mentioned some of the wonderful inven-
tions which have grown out Of the
scientific study Of birds, and touched
upon their economic value, but the
stories she told were of robbins and
sparrows and little wrens which she
had observed in their home building and
the rearing of their young. They were
truly delightful and appealing.

GOING TO HOT SPRINGS
Ruth Will Accompany Yankees to
 Training Camp Next Monday.

New York. Feb. 16.- Babe Ruth in- formed the Yankees yesterday that he will leave for Hot Springs next Mon day to join the small squad of play CTS there for preliminary workouts. The Rambino has not yet signed a contract. nor is there any evidence that he has decided t0 end his vaude- vile tour this week and turn his at- tention to the greater pastime of baseball, so it may be taken as an even-money bet that the Babe is sat isfied with what the Yanks have of fered him. or at least expects to reach an agreement as soon as he has talked with the Colonels.

ROWING STEWARDS
 MEET AT NEW YORK
Course for the Intercollegiate
 Regatta to Be Selected

New York, Feb, l6. Stewards of the intercollegiate rowing association meet here today to decide upon tho course for the inter collegiate regatta in June and to discuss tho relative merits Of four and three mile dis tances for the event,
 Indications were that the problem of providing an observation train for the regatta would bc overcome by using the same train for the inter collegiates at Poughkeepsie as that used on the Thames for the Harvard . Yale event, to be held two days car Tier.
 The varsity event last year was over q three mile route and opponents of such a distance declare that it shall not be continued this year Adher- ents of the four mile race maintain that the local 1921 race was little better than a scramble. with oars manship and generalship thrown overheard and these racing men will present their views today. Coach Jim Rice is the leader of this group and his opinions will be expressed by the Columbia representatives on the board.
 No new action, however, is antici- pated in the matter for both Cornell and Penn are on the other side of the fence. Coach Jim Wright Of Penn likes short distances c"" as low as two miles, and at Cor he tradi- tion of Charles l.. Ct ry before his death the leading opl oncht of the four mile route is still strong.
 Syracuse, if it lines mp with Colum- bia will deadlock the vote. These four colleges are members of the in ter collegiate rowing association.
