Miss Kathleen Burke, who ha sus tained unprecedented courage and en thusiasm through months of Red Cross eervice in the European holocaust, ar rived in Portland yesterday to begin her campaign in behalf of the Scottish "Women's Hospitals, an organization which has rendered effective service as a branch of the Red Cross.

Her noteworthy experiences, which are impossible of brief enumera tion, include, visits to all of the allied battle fronts' and acquaintanceships with all of the great military leaders now in service. The latest hazard which Miss Burke has undergone relates to the . great German attack on Verdun. She lived during this time in the citadel, and was the only woman permitted to ap proach so close to the firing line. Experiences Are Interesting, The aocounts ' rendered by Miss Burke of her experiences defy any attempt at literal repetition, for, like other women of her race, she speaks of many different matters in rapid Hequence, and always with, smooth, fluent language. Her. stories are all good ones, and her audiences would like to listen for a day and a night. She was among the first to arrive in Belgium during the invasion, and engaged in work among the refugees. She escaped, in tatters, before the oncoming Germans, and was sent immediately to Serbia. Here she worked as a nurse in the hospitals, and encountered the great onslaught of typhus. Later, returning to France, she visited all of the hos pitals and the battle fronts. Of the actual horrors that she saw Miss Burke has little inclination to speak. Soldiers Have Floral Displays. "The soldiers are not always think ing of grave matters, either," she sain. "At "Verdun, when I was there, they were having some prize floral dis plays. There is a great deal of talk and laughter out there where lives are the shortest." Incidental to Miss Burke's labors for the Red Cross have been a number of honors which she has received, in cluding decorations aggregating no end of importance. She has been known as the most decorated woman In Europe. On her white uniform, which she always wears, are four medals, which she won by her serv ice. They comprise the Knights of Kt. Sava, Order of the Misericorde, Ser bia; Officer de l'lnstruction Public at des Beaux Arts, France, and the French Military Red Cross medal. Lectures Begin Tomorrow. "Whatever her personal qualities. Miss Burke is working for an institution which far overshadows all of "the in dividuals comprised in it. "I am merely working for a cause," she says, "and personality counts for nothing. They have given me this work because they found that I could speak. . But in the interest of the service personal consid erations have counted for little. The only thing that really matters Is the cause." Her appearances in Portland have al ready been arranged for. She will in itiate her series of talks at the Uni versity Club Wednesday no- ., where a special luncheon Is being given in her honor. She will speak Wednesday night at the residence of Mrs. Helen Ladd Corbett, and at the Multnomah Hotel Thursday noon before a meet ing of the Pregresslve Business Men's Club. She will make a more formal presentation of her purpose Thursday night in the ballroom of the Multno mah HoteL Various Portland organi sations, including the Professional "Women's League, have received allot ments of tickets. Her appearance here is under the auspices of allied Scottish and British societies and of the American Insti tute of Banning. During her stay she will occupy quarters at the Multnomah.

G. WOODWARD WARNS OLDER MEN NOT TO OVERDO .WORK Joys of Gardening Can Be Heightened, Says Expert, by Employing Husky Operator to Do Heavy Digging Preliminary to Seeding. PORTLAND. April 23. (To the Ed itor.) Mobilization of our availa ble unused garden spaces Is fairly under way. On every aide the writer hears of vacant lots and quarter blocks, which, under the touch of friendly spade and hoe, wielded by lawyer, doc tor and business man, will soon blos som, not like the rose, perhaps, but the humble parsnip. For more than 40 years the. writer has labored In his kitchen garden more or less each of the 12 months of the calendar: there la always something to do. Berry vines and other email fruits, as well as the fruit trees, need atten tion through the "Winter months. The preparation of the gromd is always a matter for prayerful consideration, and he is led now to offer a kindly warn ing to his neighbors and fellow-citizens of the sterner sex. who, at this season. Impelled by the National crisis and the soaring prices of beans and the like, are inclined to take their spade and before breakfast sally out for the purpose of performing a task in the dooryard which, on larger spaces, would be committed to a team of strong horses and a plow. Men unused to garden work, and par ticularly the business or professional man who has reached or passed middle life, are apt to forget that their phys ical makeup has long since oeen aa justed for an office chair or a seat In an automobile: their abdominal mus cles are about as resilient as a sort- ibttiled egg: their various tendons have the consistency of a sausage covering. 'and ordinarily they are built not for handling a spade with 30 to 50 pounds of soggy, wet earth upon It as well as ja Havana cigar. Not only that, they venture forth early in the morning. De fore breakfast an empty stomach and a Urink of water, clad 1 in a ballroom costume light underwear,- an old coat and a pair of last year's trousers, with shoes of an ancient vintage, unpro tected by rubber, working over cold. wet ground, perspiring freely, deter mined to get that lot spaded or die in the attempt. The "tired business man," an American institution of which we are Justly proud, comes to his break fast in a state of exhaustion, and after one or two seances with the self-same spade Is laid up for an Indefinite period of time with lumbago, grip or any of the thousand and one aliments which follow any sudden overtaxing- of the physical anatomy. All these penalties have In the years past fallen to the writer's lot. He long since learned to call up the Municipal Employment Bureau, or some other worthy institution, and thereby get hold of strong arms, a strong back, built for this work, capable of doing the heavy spading, after whloh the task of gardening becomes a Joy. "Very few city men engaged in gainful pur suits, professional or otherwise, are spade-wlelders: It Is the heaviest task ever engaged in by a farmer, one usu ally given to the ox or the horse. Fur thermore. early potatoes are all right the later ones a little better. Let there be no undue haste about putting In his particular crop. Give our aoggy ground especially the clay soil in and about Portland, a chance to loosen up a little before trying to work It. Small fruits are missing from nearly every dooryard, and, while strawber ries are a tremendous .temptation to small children, raspberries, loganber ries and Evergreen blackberries find a convenient and unobtrusive home around the boundary fences. There la another perennial, the humble rhubarb or pieplant. Half a dozen roots will serve the family. They only require a little touching up in the Fall and some fertilizer. Two square feet with a few horseradish roots will yield tears of Joy. A bed of mint takes no room and can be put In among the flowers. An asparagus bed, started right, will last for years. These are sufficient for those who do not wish to go through the ordeal each year of spading and sowing. Respectfully, WILLIAM F. WOODWARD. TrainingThe - CHILD BV WILLIAM BYRON FO F? BUSH, PH.D. ONCE there was a little boy of 6 who had for one of his Christmas presents a wonderrul train, with tracks, switches, stations and every thing complete. His parents were very proud of their wisdom and gen erosity In selecting it, and after it was undone they spent an hour or so in setting it up and getting it to run properly. They were so absorbed that they did not notice that the boy was not in the room He was finally found in the kitchen with an old colored man, marshaling some lumps of coal In line for "sol diers," while the old negro described to him the movements of a battle. He didn't want his play ready-made. He wanted to discover play opportunities In simple materials. Out in her kitchen everv mnth.r .nr find enough profitable plavthinera and activities to keep a child busy from iniancy until ne Is old enough to go to school, without ever needing to visit a toy store. "Wltat the Kitchen Famishes. There is the water. The babv loves to dabble In It. The older child is proud to learn how to turn it on nd off, and enjoys playing in the soapsuds- There is the fire. The child likes to watch it kindled and see it burn. He likes to observe the mvsterv of turn ins on the gas and the electricity. He is exaitea when he is permitted to mas ter these operations himself. There Is the kitchen cabinet, with its arsenal of spoons and knives and dishes. Its flour and sugar and snlces. ine drawers and cupboards are a treasure, with their cans and covers. lias ana openers, paper and string, and the piece bag. Here is a list If materials found in any kitchen, and suggestions as to the playthings into which they may be transiormed. - Food and Utensils. Salt To take the place of a tiny sand table.

A mother can make a whole curri culum of play for her child for each year until he Is old enough to go to school out of the things to De rouna In her kitchen. During the earliest years there are sense experiences among the sights, colors, sounds and activities of the kitchen that are as varied and precious as Montessorl ever invented. Later the homemade toys are simpler and more resourceful than mechanical ones. Still later the child can make his own toys and can find play as well as work In helping mother. 70 SEEK COMMISSIONS PRELIMINARY AND PHYSICAL EX AMIXATIOXS ARB CIVEJi.

ENSILAGE USE IS STUDIED City Milk Inspection Bureau Aids in Federal Investigation. Increasing the farm area for wheat and other grains by Increasing ensil age as a food for dairy cattle is the subject of an extensive investigation started by the Government In Its food increase campaign inaugurated since war was declared. The City Milk In spection Bureau is aiding in the work. The bureau, through Dr. D. W. Mack. Is compiling a '1st of the number of dairy farms, the number of dairy cows, the amount of alfalfa and pasturage land and the number of silos in the vicinity of Portland. It is said 25 tons of ensilage can be grown to an acre, while only three tons of alfalfa can be grown to the acre. By increasing ensilage as feed for dairy cattle It is pointed out by Federal experts that land available for wheat and other grains can be in creased and the Nation's output en-larered.
