ST. JOHNS REVIEW VOLUME 14 ST. JOHNS, PORTLAND, OHEGON, FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1918. NUMBER 30 Six More Ships Ordered Six more Ferris ships have taen allotted the Grant Smith Porter Ship Company, making a total of M of that design the yard has under contract. With 12 ships of the Hough type now in the water, a fleet of 26 car riers for Uncle Sam's merchant marino is provided for. The plant today leads the wooden shipbuilding establishments of the United States in the work done up to date. With the launch ing of the hull of the Wankan a week ago yesterday, the last Hough ship was in the water and seven of the eight ways held Ferris hulls in various stages of completion. Now they are sawing material for six addition al, and it is reasoned they will tide the force over until the Emergency Fleet Corporation is prepared to receive bids on the now types adopted. In spite of the difference in construction between the two models, it is said tho Grant Smith-Porter' organization has tuken hold with tho same "go" that characterized their work on the hog carriers and when the first is overboard they will ho as keen as before to take on "all comers" when it has to do with speed in turning out hulls. The Wasco, tho vanguard of the coterie there, was afloat February 17 and sho was given her ofllcial trial Memorial day. That proved highly successful and she is the first wooden otcamor built for tho Emergency Flcot Corporation to bo oflicially classed as a success, ono at San Francisco, tho North Bend, hav ing required certain adjust ments nftcr her initial trip was attempted. Tho Wasco will be on tho briny deep in n few dnys and In rapid succession other will follow, it boing planned to dolivcr a completed ship ovory week until tho Hough fleet is dispatched. When tho yard wns Btarted last year no timo was lost in gotting ships on the stocks, two ways working boforo tho plant was comploted, and tho early training was such, though the forco jumped from 400 men to almost 4000 today, that thoy suc ceeded in floating tho hull of tho Caponkn in 44 day. six dnys faster than tho steel hull ro cord hold by Skinner & Eddy, of Seattle. Oregonian. Why Don't They Knit "I novor pass an idle group Of men who nro 'doing their bit' By umnnrf ihmselvea and cracking Jake. Am' inriinsr kvI money up in Hut I Uun . " vh don't they knif." Women are doing tho work of men In factory, farm and shop Without a thought of 'how it looks,' Or whether it's written in the books Of custom. Then let this non sense stop, That knitting must be the women's job And done in her resting hours While men with idle hands sit by And 'sick 'er on' complacently With flattery's fulsome flowers. "If father will knit while he suns himself. We'll give him a smile as we pass And gladly toss him back the flowers Of praise he's been giving us in showers And teach each lad and lass To honor the men who sit and knit Because they cannot fight. And hand to hand, and heart, We'll do our noble sexless part In thecau3e of ultimate right." Union Signal. Do You Want an Auto?

A Satire on the Kaiser Louis Syberkrop, of Iowa, has acquired much fame as author of a satire on Kaiser Wilhelm as follows: To Wilhelm von Hohenzollern, King of Prussia, Emperor of all Germany nnd Envoy Extra ordinary of Almighty God: My Dear Wilhelm I can call you by that familiar name, for 1 have always been very close to you, much closer than you could ever know. From the timo you were yet an undeveloped being in your mother's womb 1 have shaped your destiny for my purpose. In the days of Rome 1 created u roughneck known in history as Nero; he was a vulgar char acter and suited my purpose at that particular time. In these modern duys a classic demon and efficient supercrlminnl was needed, nnd as 1 know the Hohenzollern blood I picked you as my special instrument to place on earth an annex of Hell. 1 gave you an abnormul ambi tion, likowiso an ovcrsupply of egotism, that you might not dis cover your own failings; twisted your mind to that of a mad man with certain normal tendencies to carry you by, a most danger ous character placed in power; I gave you tho power of a hyp notist nnd n certain magnetic forco that you might sway your people. 1 am responsible for tho de formed arm that hangs helpless at your left, and your crippled condition embitters your life and destroys all noblo impulses that m ght otherwiso cause me anxiety, but your strong sword arm is driven by your ambition that squelches all sentiment nnd Pity. 1 nlnccd in your mind n deep hatred of all things English, for of all Nations on earth I hale England most: wherever Eng land plants her flag sho brings order out ot chnos and the tinted cross follows the Union Jack; under her rule wild tribes become tillors of tho soil, and in due time practical citizens; she is tho greatest civilizer of the globe and 1 halo her. I planted in your soul a cruel hatred for your mother because she was English, nnd left my good friend Bismarck to fan the flnmel had kindled. Recent history proves how well our work wns done. It broko your royal mother's heart, but I have gained my purpose Tho inherited uisenso oi tho Hohenzollcrns killed your fnthcr. just as it will kill you, and you became the ruler oi uermany and tool of mine sooner than 1 expected. To assist vou and further has ten my work 1 sent you three evil snirits. Noitssche. Troits- dike and later Bernhardi, whose teachings inflamed tho youth of Germany, who in good timo would be willing nnd loyal sub jects and eager to spill their blood and pun your cnesmuts, yours and mine; me spoil lias been periect. You cast your ambitious eyes toward the Mediterranean, Egypt, India and the Dardan elles" and you began your great railway to Bagdad, but tho am bitious archduke and his more ambitious wjo stood in your way. It was then that 1 sowed the seed in your heart that blossom ed into the assassination of the Duke and his wife and all Hell dmiled when we saw how cover ly you saddled the crime onto Servia. I saw you set sail for the fjords of Norway and I knew you would prove an alibi. How cleverly done so much like your noble grandfather, who also secured an assassin to re move old King Frederick of Denmark, and later robbed that country of two provinces that gave Germany an opportunity to become a naval power. Murder is dirty work, but it takes a Hohenzollern to make a way and get by. Your oppor tunity was at hand: you set the world on fire and bells of Hell were ringing; your rape on Bel gium caused much joy. It was the beginning, a perfect founda tion of a perfect Hell on earth, the destruction of noble cathed rals and other infinite works of art was hailed with joy in the infernal regions. You made war on friends and foe alike and the murder of civi Hans showed my teachings had borne fruit. Your treachery to ward neutral Nations hastenpd a universal upheaval, the thing most desired. Your undersea warfare is a masterstroke, from the smallest mackeral not to the great Lust tania you show no favorites: as a war lord vou stand supreme, for you have no mercy ;you have Letter From A. Kaemiein The editor is in receipt of a letter rom Adam F. Kaemiein, who is well remembered by the older residents of St. Johns, hnving been engaged in the barbering business here n dozen years ago. He is now located at Trenton, Mich., and snys: My Dear Editor: I keep receiv ing a St. Johns Review every now nnd then from my old friend, Alex.S. Scales, and as I still have my property there 1 always feel as though St. Johns wore my home town. 1 read every word in your paper when I trot it. I hoc In i lie Atiril 5th paper that you are expect-; ing another shipyard out your way. I also see that tho bar bers have raised to a nice price, which is right. I would like to come back there, hut you see my father died and my brothers have gone to war, nnd it is up to me to take care of mother, so will stay at home for the time being. I note you also have a real ball team. I believe you were in &t. Johns wnon we had the six team league go ing and had all the triangles at tho park. What a noise thoy did make. I have not forgotten those days. Is Pascal Hill still there, and that old hunch of Boosters? Well, Markle, we are having some great pros perity nround Detroit nt pre sent. 1 am running a two chair shop in a hotel hero nnd keep quite busy. I could ask a thous and questions, nut win wait. Just find enclosed dollar for subscription to the Review, and I will try to be content. I see some of the Bachelors were up the river. I was the leal or ganizer of, that bunch, nnd it looks as if it was u good job. Ha. ha. Remember me to the St. Johns folks. no consideration for the baby clinging to its mother's breast as thoy both go down into the deep together, only to be torn apart nnd leisurely devoured by sharks among tho corals. I havo strolled over tho bat tle fields of Belgium nnd Frnnce. I hnvo seen your hand of de struction every where; it's all your work, suporfiond that I made you. I have seen the Holds of Poland, now n wilderness III for prowling beasts only; no merry children in Poland now, they nil succumbed to frost nnd starva tion. 1 drifted down to Galieia, where formerly the Jow-i and Gentiles lived happily together: I found but ruins nnd allies; 1 felt a curius pride in my pupi! for it was above all my ex pectations. I was in Belgium when you ,rovo the peaceful population before you like cattle into slav ery; you separated man and wife nnd fo.cod them tb hard labor in trenches. I have soon tho most fiendish rape committ ed upon young women and those who were forced into maternity were cursing the father of their offsprings, and I began to won der if mvown inferno was really up to date. You havo taken millions of dollars from innocent victims and called it indemnity; you have lived on the fat of the land, you have usurped and sent the real owners away to star vation. You have strayed away from legalized war methods and intro duced a code of your own. You have killed and robbed the peo pie of friendly Nations and de stroyed their property. You are a liar, a hypocrite and a blufFer of the highest magnitude. You are a part of mine and yet you pose as the personal friend of God. Ah, Wilhelm. you are a wonder! You wantonly destroy all things in your path and leave nothing for coming generations. I was amazed when I saw you fo m a partnership with the impossibleTurk, the chronic kil ler of Christians, and you a devout worshiper in the Luther an Church, I confess, Wilheim, you are a puzzle at times. A Mahometan army, comman ded bv German officers, assist ing one another in massacreing War Time Millinery War timo millinery, unlike! most wnr time subjects, is joy-, ous work if you only have a box ( of odds and ends of material in the store room, say the girls, who have just completed that , course at O.A.C. Hiey say that the proper slogan for the thrifty housewife who does her own remodeling,"Save Every Piece." Here are some oi their renova tion rules: Leghorn lints or Panama Brush off dust, and if very dirty, wash with soap and water. Make a paste of sulphur and water nnd brush thickly over the off. For hat; when dry brush : n leghorn nut, it n gloss is wanted, brush with while of egg or copal varnish; when thoroughly dry iron into shnpe. To Ronovnto Silk Ribbons-To take creases out of silk ribbon without leaving a shine caused by the iron lay out on an iron ing cloth; place a sheet of heavy paper on top. Press an iron lirmly nt one end and gradually draw the ribbon through. Keep the iron stationary, and repent until nil creases are removed. To Renovnte Blnck Corded and Satin Ribbons Lay on a board and sponge witli amonin and water, cold tea. or alcohol and water. Lay out on nn ironing cloth while damp; lay a piece of heavy paper o er top. Press an iron firmly nt one end and draw ribbon through. Repent this until ribbon is dry. To Renovate Velvet Ribbons Sponge the satin side with am monia and water; while damp iron with tissue paper under the iron. Fix one end of the ribbon to the edge of the tnble and hold the other in the left hand, and iron on satin side. The pile will not be crushed nt all. To Renovate Cjjopo- Wind the pieces around a roller; pin loosely and allow the roller to rest over n boiler half full of boiling water, and allow it to be steamed for two or three hours, turning it occasionally. Kep tho crepe on the stick un til the next day, resting on tho back of two chairs. When wish ing to renovate a small piece, lay a damp cloth over a very hot iron nnd lay the crepe over the steam. To Clean Silver Trimmings Lay tho trimmings in some fine ly powdered magnesia for a few hours. Then rub gently witli a soft rag and finally brush with a hard and clean brush. Special Sunday Subject At the ministerial union of all the Protestant ministers of tho city in a meeting held last Monday at the Y. M. C. A. it was votod to request every pns tor of tho city to preach next Sunday. 9th. on "Tho Bihlo in the Public Schools," nnd to take a vote of their congregations on the issue and present the snmo to the school board through a committees appointed for that purpose. Tho Methodist Episcopal church will request all tho mom her of its Sunday School except tho little tots, to remain for a hort illustrated talk on tho Bilile, after the usual Sunday School hour. Tho annual Child ren's Day concert of this church will be held at the evening hour Juno 10.- J. II. Irvine, pastor. Christians in a new line of war fare. I co n f oss my Satanic soul grew sick nnd then and there I knew the pupil had becomo the maaer. I am a back numhor.nnd, my dear Wilhelm, I abdicato in your favor. The groat key of boll will be turned over to you. Tho gavel that has struck tho doom of damned souls since time bogan is yours. I am satisfied with what I have done; that my abdication in your favor is for the very best interest of hell in the future 1 am at Your Majesty's service. Affectionately and sincerely, Lucifer II.

'The House of adv. A Beautiful Tribute In commenting upon the death of Colonel Stnndifer, who died in Portland last week, the Jour nnl pays the following beautiful tribute: Friends in Oregon. Texas and elsewhere mourn with the fnm ily over the passing of Colonel Standifer. Men come upon the earth and pass on. Forgetful ness fulh quickly in the case of some. There are gentle traits and gracious qualities in others that make tender ties of mem ory that Btretch far down into the years, refusing to be brok en. In passing over, Colonel Standifer left friendships that will cling closely nnd long. Out in tho vallo tho wild rose neurs the blooming and the clover passes towards the ripen ing. Tho trees are a-leaf and the buttercups are in their golden tints. The radiance of a gentle sun is shed over the perspective. It is all symbolic of tho hope and light of the life which fam ily and friends part with in the passing of Colonel Standifer, dignified, intelligent and refined product of the sunny Southland. Mrs. Ruth E. Darnell, a promi nent merchant and business woman of Kalama, Wash., spent a few days in the city last week visiting her son, Dick, and other relatives.

Cook, since January, and has made many friends among the best class of young people in this part of the city and is prominent in the church work of the Baptist society.
