RED CROSS PLANNING TO
END POST WAR
National Representatives
Come Here; Definite
Date Not Yet Set
to
Plans to "clean up" the post war
wort with ex-service men are an
nounced by the American Red Cross.
With this, comes the information to
the local office that a representative
cf the organization from Was-hingt-m
is to be. here at some time, not ye'
definitely established, to start cut
The Red Cross "clean up" campaign
in this district.
The purpose of this work, accord
ing to Miss Cis B. Pratt, secretary
cf the local office is to accomplish,
as soon as possible, the final disposi
tion of all cases of ex-service men
whose claims for insurance, compen
sation or training are pending.
The work 1? to be handled by what
the central office terms "clean-up"
squadss, each of which consists of a
medical examiner, compensation and
insurance claims contract examiner
-.nd a third member selected from the
office force of the District War Risit
office, together with a representative
of the American L.egion and Ameri
can Red Cross.
The squads will visit all the conn
ties throughout the state, probably
making their headquarters in the
county seats, which are in most in
stances the Chapter headquarters as
well as the headquarters of the posts
of the American Legion. The par
ticular function of the Red Cros and
Legion representatives on the clean
up squads will be to establish close
liaison service for irr. preparation of
data for claimants; to create and
Home Brew A Fad
Congress, as indicated by the action of the house of
representatives, has probably acted wisely in permitting
j the home brewers to operate without fear of search by
federal authorities. People who think they know how
j to brew in the family cellar do little harm, for their pro-
duct is not for sale, and is usually unappetizing. Further,
it is unquestionably true that the average person will
lose interest just the minute that the possibilities of a
federal "raid" are removed, because so many normal
people get a lot of enjoyment out of evading the criminal
j statutes. There are degrees of crime, and a man or wo-
man who would not commit a capital crime has no hesi-
tancy in dodging a law that interferes with what we fre-
quently term "personal liberty."
Home brew is a fad, nothing more, according to
Dr. Valeria Parker, chairman of the national morality
board of the Women's Christian Temperance Union,
and Miss Julia Deane, editor of the "Union Signal," a
temperance paper. They have been attending the na
1 tional convention of the W. C. T. U. and their views are
interesting, as they speak more or less officially for the
1 national organization. While they condemn home brew
as disloyal because it is an evasion of the existing law,
they are not concerned about it.
Turning from the liquor question, the statements
I of these women in an interview indicate that their asso
1 ciation is not so intolerant as it is usually painted. They
discussed bobbed hair, and admitted it is lovely on many
I girls and is clean and sanitary if washed regularly. They
I contend rolled socks are immodest for adult women
only, but that babies and men are welcome to wear them
! short. They are on equally safe ground in declaring that
"close contact" dancing is immoral, that tobacco is a
I mighty bad thing for the immature, and tha "oversexed
movies" are all wrong.
Blue laws are the work of the liquor interests' pro
I pagandists, they say, but affirm their opposition to paid
I movies on Sunday and opposes a ' 'commercial Sabbath.
Twenty years ago the W. C. T. U. was looked up
I on by millions as a freak organization. It was, however,
composed of women who were devoted to a principle
j and who refused to be suppressed by ridicule. Recent
j events have more than justified its existence.

TIMBER DEAL CLOSED
PORTLAND, Aug. 23. Confirma
tion of the $7,000,000 timber deal, an
nounced last week, and involving the
transfer of 27,OOo acres in the Ne

cne cf the passengers who was in the
catastrophe off Mendocino Bay two
weeks ago today. Horner's story is
told in a recent issue of the Long
Beach Daily Telegram.
Trrvgedy and humor heroism and
cowardice were strangely mingled
in that tragic hour when the Alaska
struck a reef off Point Mendocino, cn
the northern California coast, and
sank.
A Chicago merchant rushed to his
stateroom to get a grip packed with
jewels and lost his treasure and hi:!
life. A newly married couple waited
for death in each other's arms, but
were saved from the maelstrom of the
sea. A frantic passenger rushed to
the captain and demanded tr know
"what is the matter."
"He told me there is no danger,
but he gave orders to lower the boats.
If there is no danger, why lower the
boats? I think he is a d liar."
cried the importunate one to fellow
passengers, after his interview with
the ship's commander.
These are some of the things seen
and heard by Mr. Horner and related
as h); recuperated from his ordeal at
the house where tie, his wife and the
latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. H.
Haskell, make their home. He was
bruised by wreckage that was buffeted
ttKiiiist him while he floated on tim
bers after the steamer sank, but
otherwise he "escaped injury. He
nearly lost his life, however, when the
long exposure in the icy water parti
ally deprived him of consciousness.
The Clackamas man's narrative
does not agree in all particulars with
the testimony of the Alaska's officers
given at the investigation in San
Francisco. Statements made by him
are that the steamer was inside th-2
lightship instead of in the proper
course outside, that there was r.o fog.
but enly a light mist, and he could see
I he lighthouse all night and that of
titers did not direct the passengers
on the main deck, where he was. when
they took to the boats When Horner
asked a steward, after tbe vessel hit
tne submerged rocks, what was to be
done, the latter is described as dis
playing only ignorance and terror.
"I and others were in tbe socia
hall, joking and telling what we
should do in case of a wreck," said
Mr Horner. "And I said I'd stay with
i he ship as long as there vas a bit of
it afloat. Another group of passengers
wore dancing and having music.
"Then came a sudden jar. It knock
ed those who were standing off their
feet The engines s'topped. I knew
we had struck a reef jr another ship.
I started for my stateroom to get a
life-preserver. While I was on the
wa. two other jars were felt.
"Before I got back from my cabin
ihe ship was listing. I saw no' of
ficer on our deck. There wasi no
body to tsli the passengers what to

but hey stood -ibout iji;e sheep.
"I helped launch life boats on the
port side. The second luat stuck,
somebody cried, 'cut the ropes.' This
was done and those in the boat souk;
women and children were dumped in
to, the sea. Most of them were rescu
ed. "All the women on our deck were
got into boats. I clambered to the
side of the ship. It was easier to
stand there than on the deck, on ac
count of the listing. I worked my way
hack to the stern. Twenty or 30 men
and several women were there.
"The ship sunk an hour or an hour
and 3 0 minutes after it struck There
was an exploisior. the boilers or
away and did not feel any suction from
the sinking ship. Somebody grabbed
j my legs. I had to fight to get free."
Horner clambered on top of a door
that was floating in the water. He
was on it five hours, drenched ocntin
uously by the cold northern waters,
compressed air between the decks
The vessel split, and acres of ocean
were covered with wreckage. I swam

came within reach. He got on it.
where he was above the water, and re
stored his circulation. He and a man
with him pulled a third man aboard
the wreckage. They drifted With it
for an hour, traveling all the time in a
circle. Finally an empty life boat came
their way and they took possession of
it No oars were in it, but some were
obtained from another boat. Tlie
thenrowed six or seven miles to the
rescue ship Anyox
Or.ce in the Anyox, Horner and tis
companions went to the engine room,
where they stripped off their wet
clothes. While the garments were dry
ing, a thief went thru the Clacka
mas man's pockets and stole all his
valuables, including $20o in money and
a gold watch. His total lo3s was
about $700.
But for the Anyox's officers and
crew in general, Mr. Horner has only
words of praise. They and the people
of Eureka, where the rescued were
taken, exerted themselves to helf
those saved frcm the sea. Clothes,
food and even flowers were given
them. The flowers wer sent to the
Eureka hospital where many of the
Alaska's passengers were taken.
Some of the rescued were black and
blue from bruises inflicted by the
wreckage. All were smeared with
crude oil that came from the ship
and spread over the surface of the
ocean. One queer sight noted by
ilorner was a man who still wore his
spectacles after being tak( n from the
ocean, even tho they were so fouled
v'y the oil that he could see little :ir
nothing thru them. Gallons of gasoline
were used to cleanse the rescued of
their coating of oil. Some were ill from
having swallowed oil ; others were in
severe pain from the same cause.
Mr. Horner is partciularly grateful
of. E. E. White, of Eureka, who cared for
him while he was in the Humboldt
county city, his brother. A A. White
lives at 4242 Massachusetts avenue
Long Beach.
The chronology of the Long Beach
man's experience was as follows: The
steamer Alaska struck the reef, 40
miles south of Eureka, at 9".05 p. m.
Saturday. It sank at 10; 17 p. m. Hi
was taken aboard the rescue ship at
G a m. Sunday and was received at
the Eureka hospital at 2 p m. Sunday-
He was discharged from the hospital
Tuesday evening, arrived at San
Francisco Wednesday evening and in
Lon Beach Friday.
Mr. Horner left here April 13, 1921
for Oregon. He sitarted on the return
trip to California on Friday of last
week. For the superstitions the com
bination of dates may explain the mis
fortune experienced. He is a lumber
man and went north to direct the
starting of a sawmill. He has coma
hack of California to open a lumber
Lrokerage office in Long Beach and
to make this city his home. Mrs. Horn
er is a Long Beach high school grad
uate. She and her parents have re
sided her for years.
This time of the year many youn
people have their eyes turned in one
direction collegeward. Will your boy
or girl go to college? "Will," not can.
for it is almost entirely a ease of
determination. He, or she, can who
will.
The Cost
Colege expenses are much the same
for those who earn their own way and
for those whose parents pay their
bills. This is a compliment to both
classes. The average is from $400 to
$700 a year, although a few go lower
and one can easily go higher. Except
in the case of schools which appeal
to the wealthy, the cost of one col
lege Is about the same as another. For
this reason it is wise to choose the
college you wish to attend and tackle
it.
Working One's Way
An increasing'y large per cent of
students are helping pay their college
expenses. At. Yale half of the
students are earning part of their ex
penses while at Washington1 State
University fifty-one per cent are earn
ing all of their expenses and only
seventeen per cent are doing nothing
to earn their way. To-day it is a
matter of pride.
"To prove one's strength of soul and
will
To meet and overcome the ill,
Anl in the end to gain the thrill
Of manful mastery!"
Those who have earned their way
at college are able to face life with
confidence. There are three consider
ations in working one's way through
college: Will it break the health, con
sume too much time from study, or
make impossible play, athletics and
college activities? To earn all of one's
expenses might do any of the three,
but to earn a part need prove no
detriment.
The girl who works has little time
or funds for sorority life, but snob
bishness is less prevalent lu colleg'
than elsewhere and one's true ability
determines his standing in college.
The hero is the one who can do a
desirable thing- exceptionally well.
College girls earn their expenses
by helping at housework, doing cler
ical or office work, clerking in stores.

any number of unique ways which in

larger the city in which the college is
located the greater the opportunities
to earn one's way. To be capable in
one line is better than to pick up any
chance employment Many collegs
offer scholarships or have a loan fund.
Victoria, Australia, is establishing a
state loan fund for college students
It is dificult to earn much the first
term at college. It takes time to
"catch on the ropes," but once ac
quainted with the school and its pos
sibilities, a boy or girl of determin

be able to work his way through. In
starting, apply to the college employ

is not suficient reason to choose any

amply, but if one looks to a particular

times he should find a college which

the United States there are about a
thousand colleges of one kiDcJ or an
other and one cannot hope to know
them all. Some of the great maga
zines offer advice in choosing the col
lege. This is a valuable service.
As between woman's colleges and
co-educational schools there is a wide
differnce of opinion. Both have their
advantages. In the former one has

Good Old Stone Jar
A stone jar is perculiarly useful for
many reasons. Do you keep one about
handy? It is just the thing in which to
s.oak overnight, in strong salt water
the new gingham dress before it is
washed the first time. It will make no
ironrust spots. Beans are better for
being cooked in a stone jar.
If you have a tough piece of meat,
sear it first to keep the juices in and
then cook :t long and slowly with veg
etables in a tightly covered stone jar.
You will have an inexpensive, deli
cious and nourishing meal, and the
;ar, after a good soaking, will wash
easily.
The stone jar is ideal for use in
canning seson; to make pickles in, to
drain the jelly bag over, to let any
prepared fruit stand overnight for
canning the next morning when you
leel fresher.
Aluminum and glass have invaded
our cupboards and crowded out tho
other metals, but the stone jar is too
good a friend to release. Hang- on to
two or three sizes of stone jars.
THE WOMAN CITIZEN
Independent Citizenship for Women
Independent citizenship for Women,
which Is being advocated by many
women's organization, rests upon the
lact that a woman becomes a citizen
of America according e.s her husband
is or is not a citizen As the law is
now if her husband is an American
citizen, a woman is: if he is not, she
is net. This works injustice upon wo
men and also belittle American citi
zenship. A fctrl born In America becomes an
alien if she marries an alien.
A girl born in an alien country be
comes an American citizen in five
minutes after she lands in America
if she marires an American citizen.
An immigrant man must wait five
years and undergo certain tests to be
come a full American citizen. His
sister may accomplish this in five
minutes without her wish, consent,
or even her knowledge, simply by
marriage.
A woman marrying a husband of the
yellow race loses her citfeenship, and
can never regain it, as her husband is
disqualifed to ever become an Ameri
can citizen.
Though a woman may think for her
self and may wish to become an
American citizen, she may never be
come that unless her husband be
comes one.
Marriage has nothing at all to do
with the citizenship of a male. Women
wish that woman's citizenship shall
also be independent, and not affected
by marriage, but gained or lost only
through the woman herself, that she
shall not be admitted to citizenship
unless qualified, nor deprived of it un
less disqualified.
In South America, where commer
cial possibilities are reputed to be as
new and untouched as the legends
of the land are old. a former Oregon
City man is conducting an advertis
ing agency. Miss Lucille Saunders
found him in Buenos Aires, wtalla
traveling over the southern continent
as special writer for the Portlan 1
Oregonian and a number of coast
publications.
The man is J. Nelson Wisner, who
with Mrs. Wisner has been living in
Buenos Aires for the nasr. twr eas,
after several years previous in South
America. "Mr. Wisner," writes Miss
Saunders in her Oregonian story,
'was with the United States bureau
of fisheries in Oregon and as long as
there was the position of superintend
ent of hatcheries, created in 1S9S. he
held that office.
"His work with fisheries brought
him to Montevideo seven years ag:
for the government of Uruguay and
he later came to Buenos Aires as
manager of the United States cham
ber of commerce. More recently he
deserted this fcr the advertising bus
iness and has expanded his "pub
licidad" service until he .iccupies
nearly an entire floor in one of the
downtown buildings.
"Mr Wisner was a pal of E. E. Bro
die of Oregon City and he has friends
all over Portland. To hear him talk
one would never suppose he had left
there so many years ago, but the
Weekly Oregonian perhaps accounts
for his familiarity with events at
home, as he has a stack cf these pa
pers with every mail boat
"One of the activities he was much
interested in while in Oregon was. te
Arts and crafts society and the art
experience he displayed to advantage
there has served him well in the ad
vertising business.

of the pioneer Barclay family."

WOMAN-I-TORIALS
Woman "Relativity'-
However profound Prof. Einstein
may be about penetrating into tlie
mysteries of "relativity" (whatever
that may be), he is rather dumb about
applying it to woman. He comes to
America, observes, and classifies us
as some rara avis. He overoloks the
fact that the woman instinct in Ger
many, in America, in Mother Eve,
mi in the latest born baby girl is the
eternal woman instinct. We always
have been, ares ar.d will be Woman.

Damage Suit Filed
By Carver Railway
The Portland & Oregon City rail
way, known as the Carver line, has
filed suit in the circuit court against
the Wnite company, askine to be
awarded damages to the amount of
$500, alleging that they sustained
losses to this amount through failure
of the defendant to complete repairs
on a truck used in' freight and passen
ger service over the railway by a
specified date.
In their complaint the railway com
pany sets forth it was promised that
the repairs would be completed June
14, 1921. Instead they were delayed
until June 18, it is claimed.
Owing to the peculiar construction
of the line, the railway company was
unable to procure another convey
ance to take its place, and the loss
in freight and passenger traffic is
put at $500.
A petition is being prepared for
circulation, asking the paper manu
facturing companies to provide ap
pliatices for the consumption cf the
gases that are proving destructive to
trees in the vicinity of mills.
Feeling has been growing for some
time that the paper companies should
find a way to carry off the gases that
pollute the air near their plants.
Other manufacturing plants in oth
er communities, have built high chim
neys to carry off obnoxious fumes and
it is believed that will be the solu
ion sought by the local paper com-yianias.
