CALENDAR FOR OREGONIAMS An Oregon Product Featuring Rose FestivalHas Many TJnlque Features. The most sensible business calendar ever distributed here is now being sent out by Oregon Life Insurance Company. The makeup of the calendar is unique and unlike others. Every Oregon bank holiday is named on the day of its occurrence. The Portland Rose Fes tival is featured prominently and given publicity. Every sheet, besides giving the days of the current month in clear, bold figures, also shows the days of the month previous as well as of the month to come. Manager Samuel takes a pardonable pride in the fact that the calendar is "made in Oregon." Aside from the raw material, considerably more than 70 per cent of its production cost, is ror uregon laoor; ana, rurtnermore, no better printing can be done anywhere. The Oregon Life calendar is an ex ponent of Keep Oregon Money in Oregon." Every page Is brimful of it. It is a fine advertisement for all Oregon Industries.

MILITIA'S PLEA MADE NAVAL FORCE SEEDED FOR DE FENSE, SAYS OFFICER. Lieutenant Smith Says Oregon and Government Require Trained Men and Fund Ia Vital. "If the Legislature declines to make an appropriation for the Oregon Naval Militia and thereby abolishes it, the Legislature will be doing an injustice to the United States Government as well as to the State of Oregon." This was the declaration yesterday of Lieutenant R. R. Smith, in charge of the Navy recruiting station here. and Inspector-Instructor of the Oregon Naval Militia. Lieutenant Smith thinks it would be short-sightedness on the part of the Legislature to do away with the $12,000 annual appropriation. The unfortunate part of the affair. if the Legislature really takes this action, is that the United States Gov ernment has Just taken over the Naval Militia, which, in the entire country, has about 8000 members. "The Government now will arm. equip, uniform, pay and educate the men for service in war or in the mer chant marine. "It is our purpose to try to have the Oregon Naval Militia on the old battleship Oregon when she leads the procession through the Panama Canal next year, bearing President Wilson and his staff. Eventually It is our pur pose to try to get the Oregon right here in Portland harbor for a train ing ship. "The strategic location of Oregon is so important that the state cannot af ford to drop her defensive preparations at home. "Inasmuch as the Government is spending most of the money, and is spending it right here in Portland, it would seem to me unwise for the state to stop the Government's expendi ture by withdrawing its own support." J. Fred Larson, chairman of the State Naval. Board, which administers the afafirs of the Naval Militia, last night declared himself entirely in accord with Lieutenant Smith. PERSONALMENTION. F. H.

END OF WORLD FEARED WAR CALLED MURDER AND PEACE ONLY NATIONAL DOPE. Dr. Nina E. Wood Pleads for Tcrmlna tlon of Strife and Asks Aid of Neutrals for Cause. A horrible calamity, that will result in the eventual destruction of the world, is certain unless universal peace is soon attained. Dr. Nina Evallne Wood, head of the Volunteer Peace So ciety, predicted at the peace rally at tne Central Library yesterday. "When a man kills another death is prescribed by law as the penalty for his crime," said Dr. Wood. ' "War is murder of the first degree and each of the nations now locked in the death grip are guilty of the crime. If tne rest of us, supposedly neutral, allow the bloodshed to continue without mak ing efforts to check it. we share the guilt of the combatants. The death penalty in a higher scope overhangs the world and this will not be com muted unless the barbarism of warfare is stopped permanently. This end can be attained only by all neutral nations standing shoulder to shoulder in their fight for universal peace." Resolutions pleading for the cause of peace have been drawn and will be sent by the society- to all world powers, together with the suggestion that white nag, symbol of lasting peace, be adopted by all nations as their official standard to replace those now in use. "We are preparing to ask the Govern ment of the United States to adopt this white nag first and. as peace is at tained, to urge it upon the other na tions as an emblem of their sincerity in the movement for peace, thus eventually making it the universal flag." - The meeting yesterday was the sec ond of a scries at the Central Library, one planned for each Sunday afternoon. The principal speaker at next Sunday's rally will be Hewitt Baker, president of the State Christian Endeavor Society. Other persons, among them Dr. Frank L. Loveland, Dr. C. H. Chapman, Mrs. Millie Trumbull and Dr. Isaac Swett, will speak at subsequent meetings. i Gifts for Men thai ring true of worthi ness and convey best the message of Christmas greetings: Neckwear 50c to $1.00 Handkerchiefs 25c to $1.00 Kid Cloves $1.50 to $3.00 Silk Hose 50c to $3.00 Mufflers $2.00 to $10.00 Shirts As low as $1.50 Bathrobes $5.00 to $18.00 Suspenders Carters Underwear Sweaters U mbrellas .

Merchandise and Hat Orders Buffum & Pendleton Morrison Street, Opposite Posloffice I HI wish to speak, three vital tasks which face the modern man today in his daily living: First, the modern man must show in his Christian religion, his Chris tian living, that goodness is central to life and that it is a practical and usable thing; secondly, the task of the modern man today is to save men's souls; third ly, the modern man has still a greater task in the remaking of the world. "We . have cheapened the idea of Christian morality today until the world Is doubting the value of the gol den rule. I never was more stunned in my life than when David K. For gan, of Chicago, one of the country's greatest financiers, arose in midweek prayer meeting a few years ajro and bodldly announced that in the world of credits, where he labored, the name of Christian meant nothing. "We live in a world of machines and machines make cities. We're living in a box to-day surrounded by four walls of brick and mortar and on a floor- of cement. Can the finer ele ments of man's nature, can his joy in beauty, his love of purity long exist in such a condition, such a state, without the aid of the modern man and his re ligion? It is the question of the age. The modern man has a stupendous task before him. We have allowed the vice and slimo of the world to feed upon thonsands. The time has come, nay, long has been here, that the rescue of men's souls must be made. I'm not thinking of that Judgment beyond. It is the task before us right now and here which we must face. It's an awful world in which we are living. You men and women of success must realize it. "The law of universal love must be worked out. A new Christianity is being born. Christ is not going to quit the earth, but instead a new church is rising out of the conserva tism of the past. God will have spiritualized humanity."

HHVSOX STIRS COXGREGATIOX TO AID BELGIUM. SPIRITUAL LIVING URGED Rev. J. II- Boyd Says Savins of Souls I Modern Man's Task. "You men and women of success, you men and women of money, quickly must spiritualize your success, your riches, or the world will crush you under socialistic mediocrity," said Rev. John H. Boyd, of the First Presbyterian Church, yesterday in his morning dis course, the iourtn ana last in tne se ries on "Religion and the Modern Man," taking for his subject "What the Mod ern Man's Religion Will' Mean in Daily Living." "There are three points op which I Psnlor at First Daptlit Tests Chris tianity by Ordering Collection, and $250 Fills Boxes in Jiffy. "You people claim to be Christians, don't you? Well, I'm going to put you all to a test to see how much Chris tianity there's really in you by making you do a Christian act. We will now take up a collection for the war-ridden, suffering Belgians, and if you aren't Christians in spirit enough to be will ing to help out these, our poor brothers and sisters, when doomsday comes you will have to tell Jesus Christ why you were not, and may God have pity on you at that interview." This declaration made from the pul pit of the First Baptist Church by its pastor. Rev. Walter B. Hinson, yester day morning, proved extraordinarily productive. The congregation heaped the collection baskets passed them. Nearly $250 was realized toward the Belgian fund in a few minutes, and this, it is said, is the largest collection ever taken up by a Portland religious body at one time for any special cause. Rev. Mr. Hinson mercilessly shelled "misers and tightwads," granting no armistice until it was proved without dispute that no such were among his audience. "Belgium is being ground between the millstones of hell." said Mr. Hinson, "and its people are suffering the true terrors of history's most unholy war, fighting in desperation to avoid going under in Its misery.
