"The recent war haa attracted the attention of all patriotic men and women to the humor, as well as some particularly graphic battle stuff.

"We have In our hands the Individual at Its very best point. The most pro pitious opportunities of life occur in youth, since it holds the future In Its keeping. When Christ placed the little child in the midst of his disciples he offered an object-lesson of opportunity. The child Is an opportunity for the home, for the church and for the na tion. Aa we meditate upon the swiftly- passing years, we place an inestimable value upon the Importance of youth. As wa grow older we become crystal iaed. and we cannot chance without breakage or cleavage. The child Is like soft clay in the hands of the potter. and almost anything drsired can be ac complished. The good influence of a child's friend can shape the life of a boy or a girl In such a way that life's tremendous possibilities can be reslized.

Publicity for the Roosevelt highway is not being adequately spread, according to Fred Holllster, vice-president for Coos county, who calls to the attention of the electors the fact the election of June 3 is only a month dis tant. Mr. Holllster is doing everything possible to bring the question to the attention of voters and hundreds of letters are goin to private parties throughout this part of the state. He is contemplating a speaking campaign during May in the seven coast counties snd hopes to enlist a number of speak ers besides himself. Such assistance, he believes, will be liberally offered when the needs of the campaign are known. The newspapers as yet have failed to spread the gospel of the high way to any great extent, but this Is thought due to a lack of advertising matter and specific call to the publishers, Arrangements for Funeral Delayed Pending Arrival of Son From Army Camp. Dr. C. R. Holt, prominent dentist of Portland, died late Saturday night at the Portland sanatorium. Efforts had been made to have his only child. Pri vate, first class, Edmnnd R. Holt, who recently arrived at New York with the 3f.4th field hospital company, 316th san itary tra.'n. Mat division, discharged in tine to return to Portland before the death of his father.

If the women nurses who braved shot and shell to care for the wounded, dying and sick soldiers in France and Belgium have their way, military ranks for- women will no longer be confined to the Salvation Army and the Volunteers of America. The nurses demand recognition, and It will cot be surprising if they win. In view of the excellent reasons which they give for asking that they be dec orated with commissions. "Sick nurses have been denied trans portation in ambulance trains; well nurses have slept on straw In box cars in railroad yards, on mattresses on the floors of warehouses in Paris, and have been turned away from hotels to make room for officers," said Mrs. Samuel A. Ammon of Pennsylvania, i chairman of the committee on resolutions at the recent convention of the Daughters of the American Revolution in this city. "The ability of our nurses to give their best service to our wounded men was seriously Impaired by their lack of recognized authority over the un trained hospital orderlies," said Mrs. Amnion. "We believe that the publi cation of the facts about the way or derlies, surgeons and even command ing officera ignored the nurses pro fessionally, will give the women of the country pause for thought. The plight of our nurses was not due to war's exigencies, but to purely avoidable causes, many of which the conferring of rank would automatically eliminate. "In view of tne unsurpassed service these nurses have rendered to our sons and husbands, we feel spurred to a new determination to manifest out re spect and admiration for them and to champion their demand for rank until it wins success." The convention .adopted a resolution favoring the nurses' demands, A A mistaken impression exists to the effect that airplanes are to be used in the national forests only to detect fires. but greater possibilities are forecast for their employment.

The old regula tion exempted all packages of two ounces or less from this requirement. It was found that four-ounce packages were often used to put up less than two ounces of spices or other food products, the purchaser thus being at tracted by the size of the package. This new regulation, it is thought, will dis courage the practice of slack filling. HIGHWAY WORK DEFERRED Government to Await Vote on Roose velt Road on June 3. MAB.SHFTELD, Or., April 27.
