Association, the employers organisations, refusing; the demands. f SAX FRANCISCO. Dec 24. A strike of 10,000 metal trades unionists in the San Francisco Bay region seemed Inev itable when members of the two larger employers' organizations voted unani mously late today to refuse to grant the employes' demands for a- 10 per cent wage increase in addition to the 31 per cent advance granted recently by the Federal Shipbuilding Wage Ad justment Board, according to member 'of the executive committee. The, men affected are employed in industries pother than shipbuilding. Fred V. lie teal f, secretary of the Cal ifornia Metal Trades Association, an nounced that the shops would remain open and would endeavor to operate, despite the threatened strike. The meeting was attended by ap proximately 30 members of the Cali fornia Metal Trades and San Francisco Foundrymen's associations. Labor leaders stated the strike will i'be called Wednesday and will be con tinued until the 10 per cent increase is met or the men are decisively beaten. . While the meeting was in progress the copy of the telegram sent Ira Ben- nett. representative of the San Fran cisco Chamber of Commerce in Wash ington, by Howard E. Coffin, chairman of the Federal Aircraft Production Board, which urged the men to defer strike action, was read. The telegram follows: "We are reliably informed that, due ",to disagreement between the iron .trades and the employers, stoppage of -work is threatened which will seriously laffect the Nation's aircraft programme and be of direct assistance to the enemy. We urge that under no cir cumstances should any action be taken at this time that will result in stop page of work until proper time and "opportunity have been given for nego tiations." . After being read at the meeting, the telegram was sent immediately to R. W. Burton, president of the Iron Trade Council. The shops affected supply boilers and foundry fittings to the shipyards, which are not included in the strike agita tion. . The Iron Trades Council was to hold a meeting in the Labor Temple to night to hear a communication from ithe employers telling of today's action and to take final action on the threat ened strike. U. S. OFFICERS IN NAPLES Naval Men Attract Much Attention j l-'rom Residents of City. ROME. Dec. 24. Several hundred American naval officers and men are on a visit to Naples on Christmas leave. They have attracted great attention from the Italians, crowds of whom fol low them about the streets. More than 100 Americans attended a reception given today in their honor by Ambassador Thomas Nelson Page. One American Death Reported. OTTAWA. Ont.. Dec. 24. Tonight's casualty list contains the name of R. R. Roble, of Langdon, N. I.. presumed to have died. IT doesn't require a super optimist to be a booster for Portland these days. He is not necessarily a real estate salesman spell-binding a "pros pect," who predicts that Port land's growth is assured in 'fact, is growing rapidly these days. If you had a house to rent, ad vertised that fact, and greeted 60 applicants within a few days, the majority of them, after the house had been rented, you would be forcibly impressed with the fact that Portland is now a growing Portland. D, H. Detchon, of 881 Kelly street,- had just that experience recently. His beautiful five-room bungalow, a most desirable, home, was tenantless. He turned to that universal . friend, The Oregonian Want Ad, retained his services for a day, met his host of friends at the breakfast table one morning,' gave a little salesmanship talk by proxy, and 60 people applied for the' home. SureJy tils proves that Port land is growing, and growing rapidly. Surely, also, it proves the ef ficiency of an Oregonian Want Ad. Mr. Want Ad is not a high priced employe, judged by any standard of results. He's as quick on the trigger as Bill Hart, has more friends than Mary Pickf ord and brings hap piness to more hearts than does "Doug Fairbanks." Get acquainted with him. There's no office boy to keep you waiting in the outer office. The introduction is waiting for you.

Women's PAraiancSERVicE By Edith Knight Holmes THE Mabel (Oregon) Auxiliary to the Eugene chapter of the Red Cross was launched on Its career at an en thusiastic organization meeting on No vember 7. The members of Mabel, with Mrs. J. P. Vanorsdel as representative, met with substantial and immediate response to their plea for the establish ing of the branch. All present replied by payment of membership dues at once or by pledges. The following officers were elected by acclamation: Mrs. J. P. Vanorsdel, chairman; Mrs. G. S. Dingle, vice-chairman; Mrs. Whiting Alden, secretary; R. G. Stephens, treasurer. The first meeting adjourned with everyone eager to get at active Red Cross work and to swell the member ship of the new organization. The figures show how well the latter was accomplished. From an initial mem bership of 30 at the first meeting, the roll at present Includes 123 members. Of these, about one-half were gathered from the mill town. The woods operations are at some distance from the town and the Mabel women who visited at the camp to in terest the women there were greatly pleased at the enthusiasm displayed. Practically all the women of the camp Joined and a branch of the Mabel auxiliary was established there. The woods crew, also, with George Clark, foreman, heading the list with a gen erous contribution, responded with satisfying liberality. The first red-letter affair after the organization was the benefit dance and basket social given the evening of December 8. The music and hall were donated by members. The party was a great success. The early part of the evening was spent in dancing and the latter part was occupied with the sale of the baskets. The women surpassed themselves in working out attractive and original ideas and the Judges founu it hard to make a decision as to the handsomest basket. The prize was awarded to a basket which struck the patriotic note of the evening. All the boxes sold for generous sums and the returns of the evening, including contributions, amounted to $130. Mabel's total receipts for its first month of Red Cross work were 277.60. Christmas holidays will make no dif ference in the plans of the Portland Woman's Research Club. This organi zation "sounds a clarion call" for all Its members and friends to meet for Red Cross sewing Wednesday afternoon at Olds, Wortman & King's. Mrs. Dean is in charge of the sewing and she wishes all who have had a happy Christmas to attend. Mrs. Philip GevurU will be hostess for the day. Mrs.. M. H. McClung will assist Mrs. Dean in planning the work. The Chinese women of the Chinese Presbyterian Church are among the active workers in patriotic service. Two of the women secured 100. mem bers for the Red Cross. The Swedish Methodist Church at Beech and Borthwlck streets of which Rev. J. A. Willman is pasto will hold an early morning service at 6 o'clock today and the Sunday school and choir will have an entertainment tonight at 7:3Q o'clock, when musical selections, recitations and Christmas features wTll be on the programme. Three hundred children, representing the parishes of Woodstock, Berkeley and Kern Park were the guests of the Daughters of Isabella at a Christmas tree party held at the new building of the Church of our Lady of Sorrows at Fifty-second street and Woodstock avenue on Sunday. Archbishop Christie welcomed the children and commended Rev. Father Charles M. Smith on the great work he is doing in these three widely scattered parishes. His grace was accompanied by Rev. Fathers Ed win V. O'Hara and Arthur G. DeLori mier. The children presented a programme of recitations and songs and astonished the audience with the beauty of their voices in chorus. Santa Claus was there and presented each child with a picture, toy and bulging sack of candy from his stock piled high at the foot of a beautifully lighted tree. Nor was Father Smith forgotten, for Santa presented him with several gifts, among which was a box of beautiful altar linens, the handiwork of the Sun day school teachers, assisted by the Daughters of Isabella. The Daughters . of the American Revolution will meet for Red Cross work on Saturday in the Olds, Wortman & King sewing-room. The Women's Auxiliary of Corbett recently made J330, which they turned over to the Red Cross. The Auditorium will be the scene February 22 of an elaborate entertain ment to be given by the Red Men and others Interested in preserving the traditions and history of early Oregon days. Miss Virginia Drake, clever writer and poetess and a, member of a federated club, will write the scenario for the production. Emil Enna has set Miss Drake's verses to r-.usic, and the production promises to be one of dis tinct worth and beauty. If all the people who deserve credit in the Red Cross membership drive were to receive it. the story would be a long one. The girls in the North western National Bank Miss Lottie Hatfield and Miss Anna Walsh "id ex tremely well and gained many members for the worthy cause. They were types of what women can do when they get started In a campaign. Just for today the workers will pause, but tomorrow the good work Red Cross sewing," knitting and bandage making will go on apace. The teach ers of the public schools will work every Saturday in the Lipman & Wolfe Red Cross rooms. The clubs will hold their Red Cross meetings in nearly all cases, as. usual. . , Mile. M. A. Binne, who Is an earnest worker in Red Cross activities and who has a brother in the Army in France, yesterday presented each of her pupils In the French class In Hill Military .Academy with a New Testament in French. The books are like those used by the French soldiers and were sent to her by a brother in Canada. ' Doing My Bit" By. Albert Bennett Sayres Considering the. Family's Share. TO MANY of us there comes In an -, entire year no more peaceful and thoughtful an hour than that which follows the Christmas dinner. It Is in the nature of a stopping place from which we see the New Year near, and, with our family about us. contemplate the year that is past. Tnts is one of the great family moments of the year why not give it over to summing up what the ramily as a whole has done toward helping. win the war? Make this a time not only for con sidering and for praising what each in dividual has done, but what the family as . a family has accomplished in the great effort so close to our lives and so dear to all our hearts.' Can you as a family at this time adopt means or agree upon plans or sacrifices to make the day of peace come nearer with vic tory? There could be no better way to spend that hour together, and, perhaps, none bo productive of good for the Na tion. Opening a Prenerves Jar. Have you had difficulty in opening a Jar here and there in getting ready for the Christmas dinner? If you have, it may be well to know that if a thin knife blade placed under the rubber next to the Jar and firmly pressed will not lift the top. that if you place the entire Jar in boiling water and keep it boiling for a few minutes the Jar will then open easily. Planning for a Frnlt Garden. As a fruit garden is intended to ex tend the food saving plans that the vegetable garden aids, there is many a family that, might well begin to lay plans to have one in 'some plot of idle ground near by.

Lilian Tingle Tells How to Make Chicken Pie. Expert Gives Thrifty Housewlvea Opportunity t Add to Their Store - of Delicious Pastries by Preparing "Conservation" Recipes. SHERIDAN. Or. Kindly give a recipe for a plain chicken pie with top crust. MRS. W. J. CHICKEN PIE. Dress clean and cut up one or two meaty fowls. Put into a pan with one-half onion, a sprig of parsley, a bit of celery, a tiny strip of lemon rind, one or two cloves and, if liked, a very small bit of bay leaf. Just cover with boiling water and simmer very gently until the chicken is' tender. Add two teaspoons salt and one-eighth teaspoon pepper when the chicken Is half cooked. When the meat Is tender remove it, strain the broth, skim off the fat and boll down the broth very rapidly until it is reduced to three or four cups. Season well and thicken with one to 1 tablespoons cornstarch moistened in cold water. Place a small cup in the center of a baking dish and arrange round it the chicken, removing the larger bones. The skin may be removed or not, as liked. If removed, it should be used in the stock pot. Pour part of the gravy over and cover with pie crust. Put a rim of pie crust around the rim of the baking dish (if there is a good rim) before putting on the top crust. Have the rim wet to hold the rim crust and wet this crust again to make it stick to the top crust. If there is not a very good rim to the baking dish, wet the edge and double the cover crust under, pressing and scalloping the edge. The cover crust should have some neat incisions in it to allow the escape of steam. The top may be decorated, if liked, by a wreath of small "diamonds" of paste marked with a knife to resemble leaves. In some districts this leaf decoration is the distinguishing mark of a "real chicken pie." Brush the crust with a little beaten egg mixed with milk or water to give a nice brown glaze and bake until the crust is well raised and brown. The extra gravy may be kept hot and poured in through' one of the ventila tion holes when the pie is baked, using a tin or a stiff paper funnel. This gives abundance of gravy without the danger of boiling over. Serve in the baking dish. If the bak ing dish is not sufficiently "dainty" in appearance wrap a clean napkin neatly around it and place on a platter. Hard-boiled eggs (sliced or quar tered), little strips of ham or pickled tongue and tiny balls of savory dress ing (made with egg so as not to fall apart), chopped celery or strips of pimento or stoned small olives are among the optional additions for a chicken, pie that is not "plain"; but the pie is excellent if well seasoned and if the chicken is given the long, slow cooking that insures tenderness instead of stfinginess. Cooking the chicken in a large double boiler or fireless cooker is a good way of obtaining the proper tem perature (just below boiling point) without constant watching. The chicken fat might be clarified and used for shortening. Any good pastry may be used. Fol lowing are "conservation" recipes: Plain Mixed. Flour Pastry. For every cup of flour needed use one-half cup white flour, one-fourth cup barley flour and one-fourth cud cornstarch "and allow three or four level table spoons Crisco or clarified chicken fat, one-half teaspoon salt and one tea spoon baking powder. 'Chop, or work the fat into the flour sifted with other ingredients. Mix to a stiff dough with cold water. Roll out once on a floured board. Plain Potato Crust. To one cup hot riced potatoes add seven tablespoons shortening and beat together until cool. but not quite cold. Mix 1 cups flour to make a stiff dough, using a little cold water If necessary. Have one teaspoon salt and IVi teaspoons baking powder sifted with the flour. Roll out at once to fit the pie. Short Cruet With Cornstarch. To every cup flour add one-fourth cup cornstarch and for every 14 cups of the mixture use four or five table spoons shortening, three-fourths tea spoon salt (if unsalted shortening is used) and one teaspoon baking powder. Mix to a stiff dough and roll out at once to fit the pie. One egg yolk, well beaten and used with the cold water in mixing the crust, is usually considered an improvement for any of the above pastes if used in making chicken pie. A little of the egg yolk and water may be reserved for glazing the crust. ATTORNEY OUT OF SUIT Everson Withdraws as Counsel for ex-Pastor Seeking Damages. HOOD RIVER, Or., Dec 24 (Spe cial.)

SEATTLE MAIM OFFICIATES Widow and Family Take Body of Late Rector of First Congrega tional Church to Harper's Fer ry, Va., Scene of First Work. Men and women from practically all walks of life, who knew Dr. Luther R. Dyott during his long and faithful ministry as pastor of the First Con gregational Church, gathered ,ln that edifice yesterday afternoon at 3' o'clock to pay honor to his memory. Simplicity, whicn he loved in all things during his life, marked the services, there being no flowers and no special music save two selections on the pipe organ. Dr. Hugh Ross, pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church of Seattle, read the " scriptures and preached briefly, after which all were given an opportu nity of viewing the body. Many ministers, representing prac tically every denomination in this city and vicinity, were present and the large auditorium was filled with people long before the services began. After the reading of the scriptures Dr. Ross said that he was here on a mission of love; that he and his con gregation had heard with the deepest sorrow ' of the sudden death of Dr. Dyott through a request from friends in Portland that he come to preach the funeral sermon. "When I placed the matter before that great congregation yof Plymouth Church Sunday morning," said Dr. Ross, "they rose en masse as an indication of their love for Dr. Dyott, whom they had known as a faithful and tireless worker in the cause of Christ, and they bade me to go." Dr. Ross paid .the deceased the great est possible compliment by saying that he had not come to praise Dr. Dyott; that his life was so well known in Portland and the Northwest through his manifold deeds of daily toll in the Master's work that there need be no eulogy in his behalf. "I come rather to speak of the great faith, to which Dr. Dyott devoted his life and in which he died," said Dr. Ross. ."I want to commend to you all the faith that sustained him through the long years of his ministry; that gave him victory in the hour of dis couragement and shadow and that Is powerful to do the same for the whole world." 4 After the sermon, as the organ played "Lead, Kindly Light," hundreds of sorrow-stricken men and women availed I AtmaA I Settle, nmiimiimiimmimmimmmiiimmmiimmmimmmimimiiin Ke y qu rcu proTfyi d p p m ess -n OROOER I J-f !
