RUPERT BLUE. "! Oregon men, called to the colors during the greatost of all wars, were physically the cleanest, in the entire United States Army.. Such is not tho mere boast of any citizen of this state, bacliod only by a high sense of local pride', but It Is the established record of the United States Army, Communicated to the Oregon Social Hygiene Society 'by Rupert Blue, Surgeon-General, thus (lying It the greatest possible. weight As, will be seen by perusal ef the foregoing telegram from Surgeon General Blue, a tabulation of 1,000,000 of the first reports' received from camp surgoons places Oregon in the lead with a rate of fifty-nine hun dredths of one per cent (which means less than six men to the thousand), or, compared with another wire from htm, this state's standing Is but fraction lower than 18 times ahead of .the state with the highest per cent of Infection, which was eight and nine tenths per cent (eighty-nine men to the thousand). , 4 This constitutes one-of the grandest and proudest records of the whole war period and, great as has been 'this state''B part in all patriotic endeavors, nothing could fill the hearts of Its people with a higher degree of pride than the official acknowledgment from the National Capital that Oregon's men stood far and away above all others 1b clean manhood. "That the work of the Oregon So cial Hygiene Society, carried forward for but seven years, should produce such magnificent results, Is a subject of the most gratifying kind to the entire Board," said Executive Secre tary Cummins. "Every one of the !men who have worked so hard to bring about the result regard this of ficial notification from tho Surgeon .General as a complete vindication of the program sought to be carried for ward In this state. That the public will respond to sane, clear facts, right ly presented. Is also demonstrated bevond-doubt EdncatstSi. who. have Is your nnmo written there? Where? On the lied Cross Christmas. Itell Call, of course. Beginning with Red Cross Sunday, December 15, the entire American un tlon will be given the opportunity dur ing the jveek of December 10 to 23 to ' line up for all those errands of mercy that Jlie bright Red Cross against the white background has come to symbolize. This Is In no sense a call for funds. It is the annual call for service. Ev cry member of every household, from the grnnd'fatbjcr to the nursery, should be represented on tho Red Cross Serv. Ice Flag. Onty dollar memberships are being asked for; and these are for the calendar year of 1010. Lverywhero throughout the four teen Red Cross divisions the week will be celebrated as a rededlcatlon to per- eonni service and self sacrifice. No matter what may bo the Immediate task ahead, there are bound to bo Increas ing demands made on the Red Cross during the coming year, o,nd, every American, whether here or In foreign parts, has his part to piny. Through Jhe Divisions every Chap ter, ana through the Chapter every Branch and Auxiliary will spread the Red Cross Message and endeavor to enroll every person in every com munity. Already the membership In this national organization has grown from somo few hundred thousand In 1010 to more than twenty millions since our own rountry entered the world war.. There are no limits set for the 1018 Christmas enrollment Every American everywhere Is- the hoped for goal. Programs subject to local conditions will be arranged for the week, based on suggestions worked out by national cnmpalgn managers at Headquarter. On Roll Call Sunday the Red Cross message will be preached from every pulpit, and all church meetings will arrange special programs of Red Cross activities. With the co-operation of local art ists, every" community will be deco rated with Red Cross posters. Pasters will be used on all pnekages sent out from the stores during Roll Call week, and the movies will show films pictur ing the various Red Cross agencies at home nnd abroad. "For All Human ity" shows scenes taken on the actual .battlefield. There will also be Wo men's day, club programs on Red Cross, special exercises In the Red Cross workrooms. Employees day (when special tribute will be paid to the contribution made by the Inhering man), the week ending with a general "Clean-up" day, when every person In the community not yet enrolled will again be personally solicited for mem bership. It Is believed that some time during the week at least one performance of tho masque, "The Roll Call," especial ly written by Mr. Percy Mackaye, with stage settings designed by Robert Ed mond Jones, will be given In every community. This has but twelve speaking parts nnd Is arranged espe cially for community presentation, with men, womon nnd children in the pantomime parts. It can be given oither elaborately or very simply, as conditions warrant In Its dramatic theme It 'expresses the emancipation of the humnn spirit from tyranny through the humanizing agency of the American Red Cross. Copies of the masque, ns well as directions for cos tuming and Incidental music, can be secured at Red Cross Headquarters In every town and city. . One of the' most novel and Interest ing features of the campaign promises to be the One-day and One-Hour plan of enrollment This consists of divid ing the community Into units of one hundred houses, the Idea being to have sufficient workers to canvass these homes practically simultaneously, a sort of "home stretch," distributing the work among many with a mini mum of time consumed 'by each. The official uniform worn by Roll Call workers will be a cap and arm brassard. These are to be made of red flannel and a small paper circle In white will carry the Red Cross em blem. This uniform will serve both as protection against the unscrupulous and as an aid to the workers themselves. Corporations, business Arms and In dustries will be supplied with a 100 Service flag, There will be no Christmas sale of tuberculosis seals this year. Instead, the Red Cross has made a direct ap propriation of (2,600,000 for this work, and ten seals will be awarded each person who Joins the Roll Call as a reminder of tho very Important work being done by tho National Tubercu losis Association. Wars may come and wars may go, but the Red Cross goes on forever. Will you not be among the first to place your name on the 1010 member ship roll? assisted greatly in the work, may well feel that young men under their tute lage will absorb the benefit to be de rived from information along physio logical lines, rightly administered. Parents must now see plainly that their children should have the truth as to their physical beings and that 'having this, untold good will result" "Future generations; following, -are bound .to demonstrate the benefits of Oregoh's clean manhood, asse.tforth FELT GOODS For Christmas T Fine Line Ladies', Men's and Children's house slippers in new nav- elty and plain styles.

St Aignon, Oct. 29, 1918. Dearest Folks: I just came back from my 13 days furlough a couple of days ago. I left her with Bill Hinkey n Boise boy, who has been with our company for about three months. After we readied our leave area we were somewhat disap pointed in it By, using our heads a little and more of our nerve wo man aged to' get away -from there and headed for Paris. That was the start of our rambles over France. We spent nearly three days in Paris, taking in all tho places of interest we could. Wo were in Notre Dame cathedral and "all around the outside. That was the one place I was more anxious to see than any, as I had always heard so much about it at home. The outside of it didn't impress us very much. It look ed shabby and worn but of course was immense in size. On the inside ft was beautiful though beyond explanation, We also Atisited the Luxenburg gar dens nnd Tuileries gardens, and the Invnlides which is an old hospital that Napoleon used. They are still using it for wounded soldiers and in the grounds there we saw general Foch decorate about 30 high French officers and' one Red Cross nurse. It sure is some ceremony. In my collection of photos I havens one of tho same ceremony. Just back of the Invalides is the Tomb and Chapel of Napoleon. Wo walked all around in it with an American captain who had a book telling about all the things of historic interest He really acted as our guide. Ha! He sure was some swell fellow though, and wo spent the after noon with him at his request, for he was a stranger in Paris himself. I forgot to mention tho captured German aeroplanes and cannons that were on exhibition at the Invalides. The "ace of aces." "Suad" machine was also there and the German planes were all his captive machines. I could go on and tell you about B the different things of interest till I was black in the face, but I will save it till I get" home. Of course we visited the Soldiers and Sailors club and Madeline cathedral which is close to the club and also in the main part of Paris business section. During tho evening we took in tho largest theatres which I will tell you 'about later. From Paris we took tho limited train for tho Mediterranean by way of Dejon, Loyn and Marseille. We were in Marseille about two days and saw everything we cared to and then passed on. It sure is tho cosmopolitan city of the world alright. You can see people of all nations and lan guages and every type of dres.. From thero we went to Nice and Monte Carlo, and great resorts of tho world which were only a six hour ride from Marseille along the Mediterran ean sea. We were able to go to the gambling houses in the mornings and saw the tables where millions of dol lars have changed hands. They are still running 16 large roulette tables there. . Coming back wo went nnother route by way of Clermont-Ferrand, Monte con and Orleans, also taking in many other smaller places for a few hours. In the amount of- time we had 1 don't think anyone could have seen Franco any better than we did. As Bill said, "it seemed we had a lucky star following us all the time." Ill have to tell you our experience with a couple of British officers we met One evening one the way to Marseille we were eating in the diner and these officers came .-in and sat at our table as they were the only un occupied seats. We were the only Americans in the car and so we didn't mind eating with them especially after we found them so congenial. On of them asked us if we could stay in Marseille the next day but we told them wo had decided to go straight on to Nice and Monte Carlo. Well it happened tha't we did stay in Marseille on account of trains which turned out to be for our benefit. That noon we were looking for a place to cat but couldn't find any but the swellest restaurant in town so wo busted in re gardless. We had ordered a regular dinner and had the first course which consisted of thirteen dishes of salads, pickled brains, oyters on half shell, etc., and the waiter brought the next course of halibut fish. We began to get weak in the knees wondering what the price would be and if we'd have enough money, etc., so we had to asl. the waiter who, we noticed was the head waiter, waiting on us, how much the meal would be. We told him if it took our purse we'd pay for what we'd had and go. Well we were knock ed cold when ho said it would cost six and a half francs, which would be about the same as a dollar, for each meal. Then ho told us how much it would have been if we'd ordered tho ,rneal al a Carte (dish by dish instead of getting a regular dinner.) He fig ured it out for us and it would have amounted to twenty francs a piece. Then we proceeded with our meal which we thought was a good bargain, 'there were six courses that followed and after that tho manager came around and told the waiter something in French as be did not talk "English and the waiter told us he had said for us to come back at five that evening for tea and; tftat H wouJ4 be frao pf The Vale Hot Springs Sanitarium Rooms, Board, Bath and Massage: Dr. Thos. W. Thurston, Supt., Vale, Ore. charge. We felt-like telling thewaiter to tell the manager that we' weren't Gen. Pershing and President Wilson, but he shot' another invitation at us before we got over the shock. He said that the Majesties RoyarGuards Band was giving a concert at tho Opera that afternoon anditfiathp had'ajbouplo of passes for us. What could we do but take them? Well we did, and when we saw the leader we found him to be one of the officers we'd eaten with or the train. ,By the program we .nr that his name was Billon and also the author of a piece they played, Sere nade in D," you've heard it for its a pcoular piece. After the concert we went back for tea and found that wo wore among the members of tho band and a bunch of ofllcers, among which were the two we ate with on the train. They spotted us and came over and shook hands with us. Wo told Captain Billon we'd heard his concert and complimented him, and ourselves for the privilege. They sure treated us royal. Tho officers gave toasts and speaches while we ate and drank our tea. Hal Well tho good part of the joke is that we found out later from one of tho bandmembers that the officer with Captain Billon was n major general in tho British army. Well we had to take the count .hat was all Well here's hoping this letter finds all well. I am as ever your loving son. JIM. P. S. Captain Bartlett is attached to our hospital now. Harry Parks nnd I spent tho evening with him talking old'times. He is going on sick leave to Nice but will be back here after a rest He has been through quit a lot but is coming out O. K.. as ever.
