CAMPAIGN INDORSED ; Major-General Leonard Wood Calls ; Attention to Important Work. NEW YORK, Nov. 9. While lnvalu- able service has been rendered by the Y. M. C. A. in European war zones, the ' activities the organization is now fur thering in National Army cantonments in the United States are the most im portant it has ever undertaken, in the opinion of Major-General Leonard Wood, who today issued a statement in . dorsing the $35,000,000 war work fund campaign which is to begin Sunday. "Excellent as the Y. M. C. A. work is and has been," said the statement, "elsewhere, I believe the work it Is now doing In the great cantonments where our troops are being trained Is "perhaps the greatest and the best it has ever attempted. "One has to see it to appreciate it. We must give the men places of the ' right type to go to, places where healthy amusements and decent sur roundings, as well as reasonable recre ation, can be secured. This is where the Y. M. C. A. has secured, perhaps, its best results. It has not only helped suppress vice, but it has given the men attractive places of assembly and ' wholesome amusement. ' "Every dollar given to the Y. M. C. A. is money, given in a good cause. All who aid it are helpers in a splendid work." ALBANY ELKS AT REUNION Elk Mulligan Is Feature of Re freshment Programme. ALBANY, Or.. Nov. 9. (Special.)

TO help make things look more Christmassy for your soldier lad die, or some other soldier laddie whom you want to have come and spend a part of the Yuletlde with you, why not matte a star or tsetniehem quilt or bed spread? such a quilt being one in which the Christmas colons, green and red. predominate, with enough neutral coloring to give a good background. An eight-pointed star is easiest made. For this cut one large square of red 4x4 inches and four squares in neutral colors, 2x2 inches; also four red squares 2x2 inches. Cut the red squares in two diagonally to make eight half squares. Sew these eight half squares to the large red square, two to each side with their diagonal sides toward each other and the middle of that side. When this is done, you will have a regular eight- potntedjstar of red. Sew the four neu tral colored squares into the four cor ners and cut half squares In the neu tral color to fit the four empty spaces remaining. When your block is com pleted, it will be about eight Inches square. Set fhe blocks together with squares of green or oblong pieces 4x8 lncnes. Uhis will give you a quilt In which green is the predominating color for background with red stars brought out by their edgings of neu tral colors. Or you can have but the two colore, green and red in the quilt, by making the corner squares and side half squares of green Instead of some other colors. Green and red are not usually good colors in cotton, as they are apt to fade and run and streak in washing, so such a quilt as this would be bet ter made in woolen or silk goods than in cotton. The best pieces of discarded red -waists, house dresses, listings, etc., may be used, while an old green dress or wrap or. the cuttings left from such garments -may afford enough pieces for the green part. If you want to add a little more bright color to the quilt when you fas ten the top and lining together you can use silver or gold-colored cord or yarn for -knotting, placing it at regular In tervals In the stars or the green back ground. Marian Millers ANSWERS THIS Is a message to the mothers of soldier boys. Maybe some of the wives, sisters, cousins and aunts will read it. First of all I want to ask, "Do you know that song about keeping the hearth fires burning and about the sil ver lining that surely must be shining behind all the dark clouds?" If not, learn it and sing It from the heart. I saw a mother yesterday and was shocked to see the change that had taken place In her looks sines her boy went abroad. She has aged rapidly. Her face is all wrinkles and there is a "drawn look" about her mouth that her boy wouldn't like to see, Another mother I was told sits at homo and orys every evening, I noticed tha daughters of both thesa women at tha Orpheum last Tuesday night. They should have had their mothers with them. The mothers positively must not ba left to weep. Tab them out to tha V-.-. - -wirfei .1 v m jk: s show occasionally. A certain amount of diversion IS necessary. It's perfectly proper for mother to do Red Cross work and to Hooverlse in the house hold and to redouble her energies in patriotic service of all kinds, but to keep young and cheerful for the sake of the boys at the front, she must keep a joyous song In her heart. If she doesn't keep brave and happy naturally It is the duty of her relatives and friends to see that she gets "away from herself" occasionally. Mothers, you must not let tears dim the eyes nor lines of worry come. You have been brave so far. Keep it up. I know it was hard to give up the lad you loved so well. I know how you think of him, as he was when a baby; how bright and chubby he was; how soft and silken was the curl on the top of his baby head; how you taught him to talk and walk and how you nursed him through all the childhood ailments and how on the first day of his school career you cried after you had sent your baby away to school. And after a while he grew up and you helped him with his studies and mended his clothes that always were torn. And when he was grown and away at college then the call came and he answered and you were proud and glad for Oregon mothers proved this right at the very first. You have done so much; don't get blue now. You have to keep bright for your boy and for all the other boys and for the cause of democracy. So, to the sisters and cousins and aunts and the daughters, too, I say cheer up the mothers. Take them with you to a party or the theater or enter tainment. There are many who will keep so busy they never will stop to be sad. They have the system down pat, but a certain few are going to get lonely If we don't keep them cheered up. Think it over. McMINNVILLE, Or., Nov. 4. 1917. Dear Marian Miller: I am a married man and my wife la out of town. Is it all right for me to call on some girls whom I knew be fore I was married? They Invited me to dinner and to spend the evening-. My wife Is jealous of them. Yours truly. BEN C. If you love your wife, don't start any trouble. Dine with some married couples or men friends, or go to the home of the girls. If you wish, when their parents are present and there are other guests, but don't "pair off." I don't think if you truly love your wife you will do anything to worry her. Keep your conscience clear and be square. Not knowing whether or not you have given the wife cause for jeal ousy, I can't tell whether- or not her attitude is foolish or justifiable. ... LA GRANDE. Or., Nov. 8. Dear Marian Miller: A young man I know Is going; away to be a soldier. -He waa engaged to a girl friend of mine, but asked me to write him. Should 1 do 10? ELSIE W. No reason why you should not write frank, friendly letters with home town news in. The boys want lots of news about their friends and about all the football teams, the schoolmates or of fice folk. It isn't necessary to "cut out" all the boys that are engaged. Of course, silly, sentimental letters would be in very bad taste. It seems to me I have answered this question or ones similar a dozen times. MARIAN MILLER. PERS0NALJVIENTI0N. F. W. Blair, of Seattle, Is at tha Pal ace. M. Dillon, of Eugene., Is at the Ore gon.
