Colonel Leader Indicated a similar Ituat'on at one point In the present e-rrensire that of tha Cambral aallent. where tha British defenders ara all but cut off. but are not retiring.

"Think at tha mark the make, with our shrap nel spraying them. There'll be lota of recruiting for the I'hlana when tola fieht I. over! Colonel Leader expressed Implicit confidence In the anility of tha British to deal with the situation, which he repeatedly asserted to be shaping ac cording to their desires. His only re gret waa that the Germans naa not yet forced the second aallent Into the British line, and bis only fear was that the offensive would be "fed up" on slaughter before British rifles, machine guns and artillery haa taken a toll uf- ficient to halt the Germane for an tyne. ttereaaa DUuIrr Predicted.

Colonel Leader puffed reflectively at his pipe and laughed like a boy. -My old regiment la at the base of that Camhral aallent." he said.

A big spurt in the sales of thrift and war savings stamps Indicates Intensi fled patriotic interest and endeavor. The I.VOOO.OOO mark by April 1 Is in sight with a week to go. This ia the last week in which war savings stampa may be purchased for till. Lmriiig the month of April thev will be 11.15. Results of the state-wide canvass last week are beginning to increase the total receipts, and all indication lead to the belief that Oregon will establish new selling records before April I. Inquiries are atill reaching headquar tera as to what effect the liberty loan campaign will have on the war savings stampa work, and as to the relation of one to tho other. The answer Is mill being given that the two movements are identical in purpose: that they are not competitive, but co-operative, and that the Government has at all times tried to make this plain. It is pointed out that the Govern ment gains nothing if liberty bonds are converted into war savings stamps, or if war aavlngs stamps are converted into liberty bonds. Bacri" form of se ll ri t c haa Its own work to perform. Both are essential to the war work of the Nation. Local merchants report that it Is becoming common for thrift stamp savers to ask for their 23-cent and SO-cent change pieces in thrift stampa Shoppers carry a stamp book with them, and at available oppor tunity attach "themselves to a thrift stamp, which, in turn, is at ached to the thrift card and later exchanged for a war savings stamp. At a Portland Hotel the cashier ask. eacli person who checka out If he will not accept his change In thrift stamps, and it usually happens that the traveler replies: "I wilL" In the case of the department and smaller stores, however, the re quests for change in stamps come from the purchasers rather than from the proprlelora. A neat roster of the Firs Junior Rainbow Regiment of Oregon, com posed of Oregon girls and hoys who have sold " or more worth of stamps, has been issued by J. A. Churchill, State Superintendent of Public Instruc tion. There are 1000 members in the First Regiment, and already S00 names have been signed up for the Second Regiment.

In the belief that they have evidence which should be placed before the Mult nomah County grand Jury in its in vestigation of the Courthouse engine room trouble. Mr. C. C Taylor and Mrs. M. E. Grcenman. representing the Women's Christian Temperence Union of Oregon, yesterday appeared before the County Commissioners and asked that the investigation be brought to a close before the primary election. The women were told by Commis sioner Murk that they should place whatever evidence they hive in the handa of the grand Jury. They replied that they had not been given an op portunity to do so. The women said later they did not intend to infer that the District Attorney's office had re fused them permission to appear be fore the grand Jury, but that they had not been called. Despite a report by an expert that the engine-room boilers are in good condition, Mrs. Taylor tuld the commis sioners they had positive evidence that one of boilers 'Is in bad condition.

Mr. Kenney said he bad no idea, that his machine could reach this speed no matter how hard he "stepped on 'er," and he didn't mind payinff the $7.60 fine after learning from Motorcycle Officer Taylor that he was really skimming- along- the high way east of the city at 35 miles an hcur. U Zidell didn't realize that he was groing 35 miles an hour either, but when Motorcycle Officer Marks testi fied as to his speed he willingly pleaded guilty end paid the same, $7.50 fine. The third of the trio of speeders before Judge Dayton yesterday was Luttie Lewis, who likewise divested himself of a five-dollar bill and $2.50 in silver.

A baking ruined by some inferior ingredient, for instance, or a "bargain" can or two of fruit or vegetables that spoiled and had to be thrown away, was of no very serious importance. J"UT in this period of insistent living costs, when ' housekeeping must be conducted on closest margins, when every expenditure must buy utmost value it is too costly to experiment with foods of unknown origin and uncertain quality, Best Known Values INTELLIGENT economy consists not so much iri buying at a price, as in knowing that the price buys the greatest measure of worth for the money. There is a way in which you can be assured of this r a way to know you are getting full weight, top most quality, definite, dependable value. 'And that is to specify foods prepared and sold under the famous ARMOUR OVAL LABEL! For this label is not only a trade-mark, but a grade mark, establishing standardized quality the final selection of the choicest of the whole immense Ar mour output It marks not only the best of meat products, but gives you a definite assurance of qual ity and dependability on many foods formerly un- atandardized, such as canned fruits, vegetables, eggs, cheese, sardines, salmon, rice and a host of others. Under the Oval Label you can buy over 300 delect able, known-value food products, in variety and range to meet the needs of any meal from breakfast to banquet I You are relieved of experimenting, because the Am mour experts did all the experimenting before these foods were ever placed on the market. Look for the Oval Label ONE label, one grade, one quality could anything be simpler? All you need to remember when buying is the ARMOUR OVAL LABEL to secure the choicest yield of America's farms, orchards, vine yards and fisheries, prepared in sanitary plants, shipped under ideal temperature, and sold at fait prices. ' Look for the Armour Oval Label sign in familiar yel low and blue on dealers' store-fronts and windows and on the goods on his shelves.
