Three Xewlj-Aiipointed En signs May Qualify. A greater percentage of officera of the Oregon Naval Militia have so far qualified to receive commissions In the National Naval Volunteers, as the new branch of the service under the Na tional defense bill of June 3 Is known, than In any otZier state unit in the United States. There are 24 states in the Union maintaining- naval militia bodies, and the number of officers in the entire service approximates 600. Approxi mately 75 have so far qualified, and of that number six from the Oregon Naval Militia are ready to receive their commissions from the Federal Govern ment. The six are Oeorge F. Blair, qualified as a Lieutenant-Commander; John A. BeckwiCi, qualified as a Lieu tenant; C. J. Dyer, qualified as an en sign with line duties; G. E. Dow. quali fied as an ensign with staff duties; G. J J. Jett, qualified as an ensign with engineer duties, and J. Richard Olson, chaplain. Rev. Mr. Olson has resigned from the service, so but five are left already fully qualified xo receive Fed eral commissions. Three other officers. Dr. Ben L. Nor den. Dr. L. J. Wolf and Lieutenant R. I. Heller, have pasted part of their ex aminations, and it is probable tliat they will be fully qualified by the middle of February, the date set by the Naval authorities when all shall have quali fied. Three Other Become Enalsni. Eince the bill of June 3 became op erative three other eneigrns have been commissioned by the Oregon Naval Militia, and they, too, will have a chance to qualify for Federal commis sions. They are Ensigns R. I. Strong, JT. R. Wakeman and E. H. Le Tourneau. The examinations include both men tal and physical tests. The mental tests are arranged by a hoard of Naval officers and given at local stations un der the direction of come Naval offi cer or board. Blanks have been received at the of fice of Lieutenant-Commander Blair for qualified officers to fill out in order to receive their Federal commissions. Lieutenant John A. Beckwith lias filled wit the blank that, when forwarded to Washington and filed with the Naval department, after receiving the Presi dent's signature, will make him a Lieu tenant in the National Naval Volun teers. Militia Connection Holds. Any Naval militiaman becoming an officer in the National Volunteers can f till Ciold to hie connection with the state Naval Militia from -which he was appointed to the Federal service, ex cept in time of war. When the neces sity arises he is an officer of the United Ptntes Navy. Following 's the oath sworn to by of ficer receiving Federal commissions: "Having been appointed (rank) In the National Naval Volunteers, I, (name), rlo solemnly swear, or affirm, t'.iat I will support and defend the Con stitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the piirie; that I take this obliga tion freely, vilhout any mental reser vation or puipore of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties cf the office on wMch I am about to enter, so help me God." MONTH S PERMITS GAIN TEAK'S BUILDING EXCEEDS TOTAL FOR 1015 BY H.150,000. Bank Clearances Increase 40 Per Cent, Postal Receipts Are Heavier and Realty Deals (iron. A statistical comparison of the build ing permits, bank clearings and postal receipts for November of this year with the corresponding period of last year shows an Increase in favor of the cur rent year in each instance. During the month which closes to night a total of 281 building permits calling for work that is to cost 1252.095 were issued at the City Hall as compared with 311 permits calling for work cost ing $210,595 last year. Although there is still one full month left before 1916 passes Into history building permits for the year to date exceed those for the entire twelvemonth of 1915 by $1,150,000. Bank clearings show a gain of about 40 per cenUn favor of this year. During November last year the clearings were $18,423,739 as compared with $68,234, 331, the gain being nearly $20,000,000, one of the largest recorded in recent years. Only a light gain is shown In postal receipts, the estimated total for this month being $96,500 as against $96,116 for November of last year. Although real estate transfers can hardly be interpreted accurately in view of the practice or recording nominal Instead of actual considerations the figures show an advantage for Novem ber. 1916. Last year during November ihe real estate transfers quoted $371, 970 as "the aggregate considerations while the 716 instruments filed this month stipulate $572,209. This latter figure does not include the Westover Terrace transaction but does include the $275,000 sale of the Fleidner Block.

For this purpose procure several sheets of blotting paper, desk size. Tan, cream or grey are the colors most used. Get also some sheets of plain rather heavy paper in a color that will blend nicely with the color of the blotting paper and a small quantity of narrow wall paper border. For the blotting pad, lay three blot ting sheets together. Cut two pieces of the plain paper each three by six inches. Make folds in each of these pieces from the center of one side to the outer corners of the opposite side. Fold In the two outer triangles thus made to meet each other and tack to gether with needle and thread. This makes the two triangular pieces for the corner of the blotter. .Slip them on two corners of the three blotters with the sewed side down. These serve not only for holding the sheets to gether, but also make convenient places for tucking cards, memo, slips, en velopes, etc. For the opposite side of the blotting pad, cut a piece of the plain colored paper about six inches wide and long enough to extend the full length of the blotting pad and trn In an Inch or two at each end. These blotting sheets are usually at least two feet long. Crease two inches under along the side of this plain piece of paper. Crease also at the ends a sufficient width of paper to make the piece fit snugly over the side of the three blot ting sheets. Clip out surplus paper at the corners and tack together there the paper folded under on sides and ends. This makes a long plain piece to slip on one side of the blotting pad. Put it on the pad with the sewed side beneath. Paste your wallpaper edge along the piece. This wallpaper border should not be more than two Inches wide so that an edge of the plain paper will show when It is pasted on. on both sides If possible of the border: or If the wallpaper border Fhould be as much as two and a half inches wide, leave a little margin of the plain paper to the inner side at least.
