3EREM0NY IS IMPRESSIVE
Marshal Flashes Heart-Warming
Smile as Medal Is Added
to Great Collection.
Marshal Joffre of France, miracle
man of the Marne, became Comrade
.loffre, life member and past com
mander of Over-the-Top post. Vet
erans of Foreign Wars, last night.
Hi Initiation Into the Portland
branch of the great American brother
hood of war veterans was a memor
able feature of an impressive recep
tion tendered the beloved Idol of the
entente allies by 6000 enthusiastic
Americans at the armory.
After the marshal had been wel
comed by Governor Olcott, Mayor
Baker and ' other speakers. Colonel
James J. Crossley, commander of
Portland Post No. 1, American Legion,
presented the marshal with a golden
plaque, engraved as a memento of his
visit here. Then Captain George E.
Sandy, commander of the local chapter
of the Veterans of Foreign AVars, an
nounced in a brief address that Mar
shal Joffre had been elected to life
membership in the veterans' order
with the rank of a past commander.
Decoration Pinned on Coat.
Captain Sandy stepped In front of
the Marshal and pinned on the famous
visitor's coat, beneath the French
Medaille Militalre, Croix de Guerre-
with palm, an Distinguished. Service
medal, the decoration of the Veterans
of Foreign Wars.
The marshal flashed his heart
warming smile as another medal was
added to his collection, which Includes
all the- highest deeorations of a score
of nations. He shook hands with Cap
tain Sandy, while the spectators
jumped to their feet, applauded,
cheered and whistled their approval
of the simple but Inspiring ceremony.
The snowy-maned lion of world war
history received a thunderous ovation
when he rose to respond to the wel
come of Oregon. His kindly face,
lined by a lifetime of exacting cam
paigns,, beamed with the spring-time
light in his somewhat tired eyes as he
spoke in French which was translated
for the crowd by Major IT. S. Grant,
American attache of the Joffre party.
"During the great war the Amer
ican army came to our aid against the
aggressor who desired to seize our
country," said the marshal through
his Interpreter.
Friends Still Needed.
"Now peace is here. The war is over.
We still need our friends. ,The
American soldiers and citizens are our
friends and this enthusiastic recep
'ion proves that we can depend on
your friendship.
"For your magnificent hospitality,
friendship and courtesy, I give you
my profound thanks.
"We will never be able to return all
that we owe to you."
Marshal Joffre, with Chief of Police
Jenkins and Sergeants Davis, Powers,
Berryman and Welk of the marine
corps as a bodyguard, arrived at the
armory shortly after 8 o'clock.' A few
minutes' delay In his arrival resulted
wihen he lingered at the hotel to watch
a war dance put on in realistic style
by Pendleton Indians in the lobby of
the Multnomah. On his arrival at the
armory, Marshal Joffre was escorted
to the speakers' platform by Adjutant
General G-orge A. White, who pre
sided at the meeting. When Joffre
entered the building the 162d infan
try band played "The Marseillaise"
with a vigor that stirred the bunting
In the flag-draped armory.
Governor Welcomes Marshal.
Governor Olcott, the first speaker,
welcomed Marshal Joffre on behalf of
h people of Oregon. "The man of
the hour In the days of war was
Joffre; the man of the hour in the
days of peace is Joffre," said the
rovernor.
Mayor Baker, who extended the
greeting of the city, reviewed the
etirring events of September, 1914,
when the courage and brain of Joffre
blocked the thrust of the Hun at the
Ireart of civilization and turned the
enemy back at the Marne. The mayor
read General Joffre's order to his sol
diers at that time: "The hour has
come to advance at all ost, and to
die where you stand, rather than re
treat. Any commander wfao orders re
treat will be court-martialed."
Samuel Hill, the host of the mar
ehal on his tour, outlined briefly the
purpose of Jof f re s visit to America.
He told an anecdote which threw an
illuminating light on the character
of the French leader.
Anecdote la Related.
Aa we neared Victoria recently, I
was asked by an official whether or
not I had a passport to enter Can
ada," said Mr. Hill. "I replied that
I had no passport, but could enter
the country probably without one. I
explained the situation to the mar
shal. His eyes twinkled as he said,
'You doubtless can enter Canada
without a passport. I entered Ger
many in 1916 without one.'"
Major U. S. Grant, grandson of
General Grant of civil war fame, made
a. brief speech. Then John E. Gratke
presented the marshal with a bronze
bas-relief of "The American Dough
boy," made by Avard Fairbanks,
sculptor of the University of Oregon.
Marshal Joffre seemed pleased with
the gift, and thanked the sculptor
with a brisk handshake.
Musical features of the programme
were the singing of "The Marseil
laise" by Madame Lucie Valair and
MARSHAL JOFFRE, HERO OF THE MARNE, WELCOMED TO PORTLAND.

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless
If you want plenty of thick. beau
tiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for It will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't."
It doesn't do much good to, try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way Jo get rid of dandruff Is to dis
solve It, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough" to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy every
singrle sign and trace of it.
You wl!l find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop, and
your hair will look and feel a hun
dred times better. You can get liquid
arvon at any drug store. It is Inex
pensive and four ounces is all you
will need, no matter how much dan
druff you have. This simple remedy
never fails. Adv,

F THE powers could get together
and decide upon an international
diet there would be no more wars.
It Is not so much the food as the way
it's prepared. So said Madame Joffre,
from her heart.
Cooking schools should be estab
lished throughout the civilized world,
and every girl and woman should
be required to prove to the satisfac
tion of a committee that she can pre
pare a good palatable meal before she
will' be allowed to marry." So said
the rotund and gracious wife of the
distinguished world war hero.
Madame did not know that she was
talking for print. If she had known
it she would not have talked. She
said so politely, but firmly. "In
France the ladies do not give out
talks and opinions on any subject
to the newspapers. That is left for
the gentlemen in the family. It is
not because the women of the fam
ilies are less qualified to give opinions
or to talk for print. Oh, no; It is not
that. It is only that it well, It just
isn't done."

words to express herself.
"I had an English governess when
I was a child and I. have traveled in
English-speaking countries in Europe
and I have American and English
friends at home. One of the real
reasons that I accompanied my hus

Madame smiled). If the present rate
of entertainment and interesting and
exciting events attend us along our
entire visit to America I am afraid
he will be unable to speak even in
French and be confined to gestures
by the time we reach New York."
Lunch In Public Dining; Room.
Madame Joffre and her daughter
Germaine "were seated in the lobby
of the Multnomah hotel awaiting the
arrival of the motor which was to
carry them for a tour of Portland's
markets. They had Jut come In from
having lunch in the public dining V
room, a aemoeratc procedure in itself
worthy a passing thought in these
days of private dining rooms for any
one with seven dollars. -
Madame Joffre, and the interesting;
young Germaine could have gone any
where in Portland and they chose
the public markets. In fact, Madame
had expressed a wish to see them as
soon as she was consulted about a
drive, and Germaine, being a dutiful
daughter, had acquiesced smilingly.
She is a charming young French
girl, red lipped, with wide apart grey
eyes that smile and a lot of hair, the
color of ripened wheat, which she
tucked neatly into a close-fitting mo
toring hat. She is tall 'and generously
proportioned, while Madame has

the hour-glass lines have become
comfortable curves, but the spirit of
youth shines undlmmed in her ex

throaty laugh has the quality of s
girl's.

cooking in its wake, and Madame
said: "Ah, now I am at home in a sub
ject I know, and I am eager to talk
on it. I -think American women are
beautiful and fine and womanly, I
think American men are the best hus
bands and sweethearts in the world
next to the Frenchman, I think the
scenery here, what I have seen in this
northwest "Is magnificent. Of your
hospitality, I cannot speak for tears,
and your patriotism and your loyalty
moves me but dear heaven" and
madame shuddered ever so deli
cately, "your American cooking is is
it ia awful."
A large silence prevailed, broken
by Madame. "Whoever heard," she
asked, "of seasoning a vegetable with
both salt and sugar? It is positively
a- crime against the vegetable and
certainly an atrocity against th
stomach. And spices in mea't, and
meat in a salad. That I think was
the saddest dish I have been offered
in America a pineapple, I assure you,
chopped with some meat. Tour pastry
I have not permittedTnyself to at
tempt. It looks better unmolested.
I say theee words honestly, for 1
am a good plain cook. I had a com
plete training in home making and in
cooking and If necessary I could go
into any kitchen and prepare a good,
palatable and nourishing meal. I
have seen that my daughter has
learned as I did, the value of food
properties, and how to prepare it for
the table yes, and to serve it, and.
if need be, wash the dishes. More
persons die or have their health and
dispositions ruined by bad food than
from plagues, and oftener than not
the food served in hotels and restau
rants is better than in many a home.
I read that there are more than
8,000,000 American women in gainful
occupations. That seems to me a jus
tification of the contention that
women are as efficient 'as men and
quite as capable of solving the prob
lems of life provided they have not
forgotten how to make good bread
and to cook , meats and to keep a
home."
Paria Dictation Denied.
Having met representative types of
American women. Madame Joffre said
she cannot see how the assertion
keeps on beintc made that Paris dic
tates the length of our skirts or the
size of our hats.
"Whoever is responsible for the su
perstition that designers In Paris ar
bitrarily dictate styles, of course, I
cannot say. The truth is that if a
smart effect is achieved by Paris
designers it may be appropriated here
or elsewhere, not because it is Pari
sian, but because it is smart. Ameri
can women are not like sheep, to fol
low blindJy after a certain style or
fashion. Of their own initiative I
notice they take tucks or let out
tucks to suit their own individual
style and that is what I admire. De
signers and modistes contribute to
the sartorial ensemble of any com
munity, because they are continually
experimenting, and naturally some of
their creations prove of merit and
are acceptable. That is all there is
to K. The real dictators of fashion
are fashionable women themselves.
From what I know of my own coun
trywomen and from what I have seen
of American, women it will be a long
time before they consider any return
to the unsanitary clothing of a half
century ago. Women and girls of
this day are much healthier than
those of 20 or 30 years ago, and their
morals are quite as sound. The fact
that a lot of busy reformers are try
ing to suppress almost every natural
instinct and gesture of youth does
not indicte that those instincts are
either vicious or more in evidence
than they were a half century ago."

FRENCH MARSHAL REGRETS
MADAME JOFFRES ABSENCE
Throat Trouble Keeps Wife of Distinguished Visitor Confined to Room
in Hotel Hero Dozes on Trip.
GENERAL JOFFRE is a short
stout man who hobbles as he
walks. But his heart is as big
as his body, it seems, for he really
loved every child that stood, eager
eyed, along his parade line of march
and cheered him on his way;
"I wish Madame Jofre could see
them," he -said. Throughout the day
the absence of Madame Joffre trou
bled him a little. She was having
trouble with her throat and he felt
he should be near her.
During the long ride back from
Multnomah falls the marshal dozed
most of the way. In a rapidly mov
ing automobile, it might be thought
this would be impossible, but to a
man of as many campaigns as he has
passed through the feat of catching a
nap thus easily) a trick one learns.
Samuel Hill, genial host of Marshal
Joffre and his party on the tour of
America, is an Incessant world
traveler. He keeps a huse traveling
bag packed tightly to the handles,
and at any minute he can start out.
Does he get a cable that his presence
is needed in Budapest or Madagascar,
It doesn't feaze him. He seizes the
trusty bag or telephones for It and is
on his way. Saves him lots of time,
his friends say.
In Paris, once, his bag unpacked, he
wanted his immediate belongings
chucked into it pronto. Attached to
him was a French valet. He told him,
in excellent French, just what to do,
but the servant failed to get it. Again
he gave instructions and again the
grip was not packed' with the pre
cision necessary to close the utraps.
Time was short so, the story goes, Mr.
Hill seized the valet and cast him out
of his apartmentj and packed his duda
himself.
On yesterday's highway trip," par
ticularly at the luncheon at Crown
Point chalet, one was surrounded very
largely by military men. If one
stepped on someone's toe it could
hardly be that of less than a colonel
There was some majors. One leading
citizen who pretended to know every
body was giving information to an
other leader in civic enterpriser. The
second wanted to know the names of
two military men.
"Oh," said the other, "that's Major
Cocaine and the other !s Major Head
ache." Marshal Joffre's aides were color
ful indeed, in bright horizon blue
uniforms and plenty of decoratiqns.
Unfortunately they did not speak
English, nor understand it very well.
Lieutenant Colonel Tssaly does talk
a little. When the party was cross
ing the Sandy, someone was telling
him about the great schools of
smelt that swarm up the stream in
spawning time.
"It's a fish story," said Mrs. Ben
Olcott, who was in the car, and the
visitor believed he was being tricked
and would give credence to little el
that was told him.
It was a great day for the "water
pitcher h-)iind," as one committeeman
described the more or lens prominent
citizens who swarm around the plat
form where there is speaking to be
done upon the occasion of the vilt
of a notab. The same was true of the
cameras, they proved attractions that
CQuld scarcely be resisted. It soepied
everyone wanted to get alongside
"Papa" Joffre and have his picture
taken with the famous leader. The
moving picture men, of course, were
most popular of all. To star in the
movies with Joffre was thought to
be real class.
Visits of distinguished men who are
entertained Is a boost for the haber
dashers. One of the state's leading
citizens admitted he had bought a
new hat and a tjaw tie for the occa
sion. He had eight hats, until re
cently, but they were given away to
persons who seemed to need thm
worse than he did. The lant one went
to a Jockey out of work and a nw
lid was urgenlly needed if tha citizen
was to meet the requirements of the
situation.
As the party came back along the
highway. Just west of Troutdale. an
overturned automobile was lying be
side the road, the party of men.
women and children who had so re
cently occupied it standing ruefully
by. Fortunately, no one was hurl
in the least. The driver had turned
out quickly to pass a machine going
toward Portland and he skidded on
the wet pavement, turned completely
about and upset. The machine was
lying squarely on Its side.
At Troutdale. Corbett. Park Iloe
and places in between, groups of
men, women and children turned out
and waved flags at the passing
cavalcade. It seemed that at every
crossroads there were knots of
people who knew of the coming of
Marshal Joffre and wUhed to do him
honor. The party slowed down when
passing these assembllrs so that they
could tell of having aoen the great
Joffre.
