Dora Dean in Seattle Times.

 The pretty blond young woman. who is spending few days with her mother in Seattle has just come from two months wandering over Eastern Alaska and a trip up the Stkine River. She was getting material there for travel book lon Alaska that she is writing for the Century Company. Miss Wlloughby as the only promin- ent native Alaskan fiction writer is eminently
 fitted to write an unusual travel book of her
 native land.

 time, but I've only few days to see all my
 friends here. Then to Southern California to

 'I usually rent little court apartment some
 where, and stay there until I'm lonesome and
 unhappy. And when I'm lonesome and unhappy in Southern Caifornia-that's when I write best
 about my beloved Alaska"
 Miss Wioughby or rather, Barrett Will loughby, for her publishers advised her to take a

BLOC LEADERS TRY TO SPEAK FOR
 TOO MANY.

It is very easy for the organizers of women's clubs or associations to pretend to speak for the millions of women in the country, but when individual women get chance they show that each woman speaks for herself Witness the fact that a Denver convention of 1900 delegates most of whom were women" voted by more than two to one for the modification of the Vol stead Act
 Likewise the preacher politicians who pre- tend to speak for the millions of church members in the country are very likely to discover that they speak only for themselves when the time comes to do the counting. It will be discovered that those who in favor of changing the intOlerable conditions that exist under the Vol stead Act inclue large percentage of those of all creeds and sections and races as we'll as those of both sexes.

IRISH CARICATUREs ON THE SCREEN

The dispatches tel! that the American Irish Vigilance Committee" for the "promoton of a digniied expression of Irish Art has filed petition with the Federal Trade Commission in "a move to dethrone Will H.. Hays head of the motion picture industry because, it thinks, some of the Irish characters in some of the current motion pictures are a 'gross libel upon the Irish race
 If that is the sort of work for which the "Amercan Irish Vigilance Committee" exists il ought to disband. It is doing more injury to the popular conception of the Irish race than all the Irish comedians, Irish and otherwise, in the country.
 Some time ago some foolish descendants oi hncfent Judaism tried to stop the performances of Jewish comedians. It then discovered that nine out of ten of the comedians who caricatured the Jews were themselves Jews, and 1t was discovered that their most appreciatvs auditors were other Jews with keen senses o humor At the same time writer's commenting alron the movement to abate the Jewish comed ia,,a pointed to the Irish caricaturing by Irisf racl61 eoiae1ians that had go long been sourc 6f 1jlitA< 1o Irish theatregoers.

More or Less True As
 Life would be one long sweet song if it was. as easy to make woman happy as 'tis to make her indignant.
 The meanest man today is the husband who'll shave the back of his wife's neck with the razor she's used to sharpen a pencil
 Man can learn lot of things. but he simply can't learn to feel comfortable in clothes he knows make him look like a fool. But it's different with woman.
 A wife shows she lacks horse sense when she nags her husband into becoming an old bear.
 Another thing man wishes he could have leafned before he went so far as to propose was whether she would expect to use the small of his back as a foot warmer as soon as cold weather set in.

REMINGTON PLANS
 NEW H. 5. BUILDING
Cost oI Erecting Proposed Struc-
 lure Estimated at S85,000

Newinstou, Nov. 1.-Two matters which ar" t'ry important to the residents Of Nowington were taken ID at the meeting of the school board at the Center school last night. The committee appointed to study the overcrowded conditions at the Center and to mako rccom- negotiations made a report which proposed the erection Of one unit of q high school building on the site which was purchased recently on Cedar street. The cost of the unit which was recommended would be SS5.O00.
 The committee pointed out in its report that this building would re- lleNe the crowded conditions at the Center. It would take care of the Junlor High school students who are now housed in the main buill- ing of the Center school, It womb also release the portable building at the Center for use somewhere else in tho town. One of the most important points in favor ot such q building is the fact that the town hall would not have to be used for school purposes any longer. There would be four rooms in the present school building which would bc opened for the Use of elementary grades. The elimination of trans porting school children to various parts ot the town is another i'm poriant feature. The proposed new buillng would also relieve tho situation al the Elm Hill school which is also crowded. The chn- dron from Maple Hill Manor who now eo 10 this school would be transferred 10 the Center school.
 The committee which is made in of Secretary II. I, Dyer, John II. Fish and Mrs. E. Y. Woodruff will meet with the finance board Satur day. At this time it will ask the board to approve an appropriation Of $S5.O00 for the ,rcction of the building.
 The second important matter 10 he voted upon was the approval hv tho committee of d site in tn. southeast district of the town where small building might be erected. The committee was made np of R. IT, Erwin. Arthur O. Amos and Mrs. F. E. proudman Tho

 dltioDS at Meeting Here

Rev. Ernest NJ. Halliday. DD., of New York city, general secretary Of the national Congregational church extension boards, will speak on Missionary Projects at the South church toinorrow evening.
 Every Congregational church is being asked to take missionary projects if it has not already done so. To take a project" means for q church to famIiarizc itself and to keep an intimate contact with q ccr- tain definite piece of missionary work and to contribute the amount which the upkcep of that work costs.

sion organization of any .denomina- ton. Forerunners Of the national Home Missionary society were sev- eral state societies of which the first was the Connecticut Missionary so- ciety, organized in 179S.
 'The Fundamental reed for home missions today in our country" ac- cordlng to Dr. Halliday, lis as great as it Was a hundred years ago. The superficial conditions which gave rise to the founding of home mis- sion societies have changed but there is still q need as insistent as ever for helping to provide the ministra- tions of the Christian religion for portions Of population which for various reasons would otherwise have inadequate religious opportuni- ties. Elimination of the glaring in- cqualitics' in church privileges now existing between different communi- ties, is the goal which the extc nsion boards are seeking to realize in the second century Of their history.
 The home missionary today is not an itinerant preacher on horse back. The old-style home mission ary would have about as much chance Of success in this hustling twentieth century as would an old time carriage factory. The home missionary today must organize and supervise Sunday schools which are schools of religion in which the view of the universe set forth does not run counter to the view his young folks acquire when they study physi- cal geography. biology and chemis- try. In an earlier day the area Of Eoma missionary activity was largely that of the advancing line of ciyili- zatlon us pioneers moved westward across the continent. The field Of church extension in the new century is any and every spot beneath the stars and stripes not already fully roligiously cared for"
 "City Work" "Town and Country Work" Negro Work in the North" and "ForciEn Speaking Work" arc the four specialized departments for ike direction Of Congregational church extension in the new century, Dr. Halliday says.
 Tn" foreign speaking work begins with H Kindergarten maintained at Ellis Island 10 care for children ot immigrants awaiting admission to this country. The extension boards arc aiding $04 foreign speaking churches and missions in which 25 different languages are being used. These churches in due course come to usc the English tongue and arc Anericanization ccnlers of great inn portancc.
 The rising cost Of home mis- aons is revealed in the comparison between the expense to the boards for q year of missionary labor fifty and a hundred years ago and today In 1926 the expense was s127; in 1N7G, Si22; in 1926, s1,04i.
 The difference in the upkccp be tween the oldtimc pony which could i rustic" for its food and a Ford ! which must have gasoline from d filling station. it is said, has part | in the increased cost of missionary | labor. on the other hand it is point | cd ont that 2 man with car can cover three times as much territory
