Sunday Highway trip, guest of Judge and Mrs. Burke. ' Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt arrived in Portland at 7 o'clock last night to bring to Oregon the plans of the woman's committee of the Council of National Defense and to organize a branch In this state. It was a rainy, drizzly, wet night, but Mrs. Catt was all enthusiasm and In the very best of spirits. She actually ex pressed surprise at the rain. It was sunny when she was here last, but that was about 12 years ago. However, the rain didn't bother her In the leaBt. It's been rainy everywhere on her trip this time. A delegation of prominent women met Mrs. Catt at the Union Depot and immediately there was a buzz of plans for the all-too-brlef visit that the dis tinguished woman will make here. Classmates Are Reunited. Mingled with the courtesies and the questions and greetings there were friendly reunions between Judge Thom as Carrlck Burke, a classmate of "Car rie Lane" (now Mrs. Catt) at Ames, la.. State College, and Miss Caroline Barnes, a girlhood playmate back In Charles City, la. I have a message for the women of Oregon," said Mrs. Catt, but she dl'dn'tl0' ten just what that message is. She will divulge said secret on Saturday, maybe, when she will be the guest of the Ore gon Suffrage Alliance, a branch of the National Suffrage Association, of which Mrs. Catt is president. The local alli ance will entertain her at luncheon at the Hotel Multnomah. Governor Wlthy- COmbe will nit at the ricrtlt hanrl nf UTrL Catt and Dr. Esther Pnhi Tvoi -nrin I preside. Bishoo Sumner tc-iii ,nr...ni the Red Cross Society. About 600 tick ets have been sold for this function. Women Ready to Help. " When told of the plans for her visit and when asked by Mrs. Sarah A. Evans if she approved, Mrs. Catt an swered with characteristic good nature and businesslike decision, "Certainly. I .am in the hands of my friends." "The women all over the country are glad to be of service; they want to get to work Immediately," said Mrs. Catt while telling of the ready response she has met in the states she has visited. She has talked to the Governors of many states and to the Mayors of a large number of the leading cities, and they have Indorsed the formation of the woman's committee of the National Defense Council. Suffrage Help to Be Asked. Mrs. Catt hints that during this stressful time there is a suffrage crisis. She will ask the women here to help the women of the whole country get the ballot, but suffrage Isn't her main theme this visit. She is here for a great patriotic cause that knows no party line, no creed, no differences, and its message is the one that all true men and women of today are hearing patriotism and loyalty and freedom for all. Mrs. Catt has accepted the Invitation of the Portland Woman's Club to be its guest today and to speak at 3 o'clock In the Multnomah Hotel. Tonight she wants to jneet the presidents of all women's state organizations every oae of them. -' Presidents to Be Committee. These presidents will become mem bers of a state committee and will elect an executive committee. The state organization will be a branch of and allied to the National organiza tion. When the organization is com plete there will be created a channel through which all the women of Amer ica may work -for the good -of the country. "I hope no state organization made tip of women will fail to send a rep resentative to the meeting Friday night In the Hotel Portland," said Mrs. Catt. ' The president of the big suffrage 1 body and the representative of the Council of National Defense is not at all of the militant type. She is sweet and womanly and dresses in good taste and does her hair becomingly. She'ls friendly in manner, dignified but not at all haughty. Woman Leader Good Fighter. But Judge Burke, who knows her -well, says those kindly eyes can flash with determination when the chal- lenge to work and win comes to "Car- rie Lane" he insists on the girlhood, - college day name. Mrs. Catt was overjoyed to meet Mrs. Burke and Mrs. Harold Sawyer. The -" latter Bhe knew as Eleanor Ecob in New York. x Among the others who assembled to greet Mrs. Catt were: Mrs. Evans, Mrs. Fredrick Eggert, Mrs. C. B. Simmons, Mrs. J. W. Tlfft. Dr. Esther Pohl Love Joy, Mrs. J. Andre Fouilhoux, Mrs. Jen nie Kemp and a delegation from the W. C. T. U. These and other friends had flowers to welcome the guest. In her room at . the Hotel Portland, Mrs. Catt found a ' wealth of lillies. lilacs and carnations from the suffrage alliance, Ames Col . lege graduates and from Pi Beta Phi Alumnae Club. View of Highway Wanted. She was all eagerness when told of -the Columbia River Highway, which she will view on Sunday morning as . - the guest of Judge and Mrs. Burke. The trip is planned as a rest after the stremuousness' of meetings and ad dresses. On Saturday nigit there will be a mass meeting in the Hotel Multnomah, and so it was thought by the local committee that nothing could be more - acceptable as a finale to the Portland stay than a ride over the road of scenic loveliness. Mrs. Catt will go from here to the Sound cities and must then "jump back to New York" to be in time for the Na 14onl cuunitteo meeting on. June 4. " Z ' z "" 1 1 , ' -'V" v'i- .v MRS.

Every Scrap of Hides and Every Rg la' Saved Cloth Made From Paper and Nettle. , , . 1 NEW YORK. May 24. (By staff correspondent of the Associated Press 1 . . - - .... v T- . . n ' Just returned from Vienna.) To the many cares of the Austro-Hungarlan government has been added an ever increasing difficulty to clothe and shoe Its men In the field. Not the smallest rag has been wasted In Austria-Hungary since the outbreak of the war. Old uniforms were converted Into new cloth by adding to the old fiber ob tained enough new cotton or wool to give the fabric reasonable wearing qualities. With Imports of wool out of the question, the country s scant reserves had to be used up. Scarcity of wool led to the develop ment of the fiber Industry. The ex periments made with paper and with nettle and other plant fibers were in many cases successful, but fell sport of Droducing a cloth suitable for Win ter wear. A sort or duck suitaDie lor Summer uniforms was woven from the nettle fiber, however. A combination of nettle yarn and paper yarn, treated to resist water. Is now made Into unl form overcoats. While Austria-Hungary was an ex. porter of shoes and leather articles before the war. It also Imported much leather, especially the sort needed for soles. Efforts made to produce good sole leather in Austria-Hungary have not been very successful. r lnally it waa found that soles made of wood were the next best thing to leather. The men do not like them, because the wooden soles do not bend and they tire the feet. This has led to the removing of shoes and other leather equipment of the dead on the battlefield, against which there existed a deep and uni versal prejudice up to last Winter.
