C. D. Stimson, of Seattle, Confers
"AVItli Officials or Portland Ked
Cross and Emphasizes Need of
Increasing Knitted Supplies.
No soldier of the Oregon troops will
face the Winter without a complete
outfit of the knitted wear that Ameri
can mothers ar knitting: for their
sons. It is probable that these needed
supplies already have been issued to
them at Long Island, where they are
awaiting embarkation.
Such is the assurance given by C. D.
Stimson. general manager of the
Northwest division of the American
Tted Cross, with headquarters at Seat
tle, who was in this city yesterday in
conference with officials of the Port
land chapter.
Knitted Goods eeded.
"I have not yet received reply to
my telegram, recently sent to Wash
ington, urging immediate attention for
the Oregon troops in this regard," said
Air. Stimson, "but am confident that
the knitted supplies cither have been
issued to them or will be shortly.
"The sweaters, socks and other
knitted goods supplied by the Amer
ican Red Cross are considered to be so
essential, despite the statements by
some men in high authority, that at
least one troop ship was detained
from sailing until the knitted outfits
had been received for her complement
of troops.
Oregon Ilojn 'Will Be Cared For.
'"We have been behind with our sup
ply, so much so that it recently be
came necessary to purchase 500.000 ad
ditional sets for troops. There was
never a time when the constant in
crease of the available supply or
knitted wear was so urgent as at the
present.
"I have the positive assurance of
Red Cross officials at Washington, in
general charge of the National work,
that no soldier of America will leave
this country without his outfit of
knitted wear supplied by the American
Red Cross through the industry of
American women. You need have no
cause for worry concerning the Oregon
boys. I am certain that every effort
Is being made in their behalf.
Membership Drive Leader Here.
"I wish to express, however, my
gratitude to Julius Meier, of this city,
who telegraphed word of their neces
sity back to Portland and who brought
the need of the Oregon troops more
definitely to the fore."
Accompanying Mr. Stimson was
Harvey Lindley, of Seattle, uhairma'n
of the membership drive committee.
They conferred with officials and
members of the Portland chapter re
garding the big Red Cross member
ship drive campaign, which has been
Bet for Christmas week.

CUT OUT KISS M0T0RMEN
Osculatory Farewell Too Often VTp
i sets Streetcar Schedule.
Portland motormen agree that one of
the most frequent causes of "late" cars
is the osculatory farewell. The ten
dency to cling in a goodbye clinch is
held to have upset many a street rail
way schedule. For the most part
women are the offenders, but men have
been known to dwell over-long at
partings.
According to the motormen, two
women, or several, will pause at the
corner, their car a block away. Th
embrace, watching: the approaching
car. As it halts the departing friend
starts for the steps, hesitates, is lost,
and rushes back for another kiss.
The going' clangs. They separate. At
the steps the loved one is grabbed
again. When the car rolls away the
motorman is shy a minute or more on
his schedule.

EARLY C00S SETTLER DEAD
Jerry C. Haynes Companion of John'
D. Rockefeller in Voting Days.
MARSH FIELD, Or., Nov. 20. (Spe
cial.) The death of Jerry C. Haynes,
of Myrtle Point, removed one of Coos
County's oldest settlers and a pioneer
who came to the Pacific Coast in 1852.
He was 87 and had seen practically
the entire development of the South
western Oregon coast. Mr. Haynes en
gaged in many followings in the early
history of the county.
The deceased came to Coos County In
1859, six years after the first white
settler came from Jacksonville, Oregon.
He was married to Lois Hall, in Call-
fornla. and the wife died in Marshfield
in 18S8. Ten children were born to the
union.
It was while engaged in driving
horses and mules on an Ohio canal that
he met John L). Rockefeller, then a
young man clerking in a Cleveland
store that supplied canal men and
others with- clothing and other-goods.
Mr. Haynes and Mr. Rockefeller were
companions In many enterprises and
he spoke very highly of John L. Rocke
feller as a "young man. Although Mr.
Haynes could not see the future that
Mr. Rockefeller was to develop, he con
sidered the oil magnate a man of more
than ordinary attainments In the earl;
days, and was not surprised 'in after
life to see the companion of his youth
attain the greatest financial success IB
the history of the world.
