6 o'clock, visitors entered and paid
silent tribute to the sergeant's mem
ory. Banked about the bier were
handsome floral pieces from friends
and military organizations of the city.
Old comrades declared that even
more citizens would have paid their
mead of respect to Sergeant Schaeffer
had it been known that his heroism
in Erance won him the Croix de
Guerre. This military honor was be
stowari upon his mother, Mrs. Eva
Schaeffer, in public ceremony in
Portland during the summer of 1919.
Funeral To Be Tomorrow.
The posthumous citation was for a
brave and remarkable achievement
in Sergeant Schaeffer's first major
engagement at Vaux, July 1, 1918.
With a platoon of men in his com
mand he cleared a stretch of woods,
capturing 50 prisoners, a quantity ot
ammunition and materials and sev
eral machine guns. A remarkable
feature of this achievement was the
fact that it was accomplished without
the loss of a man from the platoon.
Subsequently the Portland hero
fought at Belleau Wood and in the
Soissons drive. He was killed in ac
tion about 10 A. M. on July 18, in the
Soissons engagement.
As a measure of recognition for the
heroism displayed in battle, Sergeant
Schaeffer will be accorded military
honors of a colonel in the funeral
services of tomorrow afternoon. The
fT,or-ui will follow the public Me
morial day exercises at the municipal
auditorium where the casket will rest
during the services.
High Mass U To Be Said.
Requiem high mass will be said for
the soldier hero at St. Mary's cathe
dral at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning,
Reverend Father George Campbell of
ficiating. Erroneous statements pre
viously gave the time of this service
as 9 o'clock yesterday morning. Ex
comrades of Company D, old Third
Oregon, will form the military escort
to and from the church. These men
have been called to assemble at the
armory tomorrow morning, not later
than 8:30 o'clock. Men of the same
company have been chosen as hon
orary pallbearers.
The escort yesterday, under com
mand of Lieutenant Lauritsen, em
braced six squads. These moved in
two sections, commanded by Lieuten
ants John Alexander and Edward
Dunn. The three lieutenants were
also in charge of watches of the day
and night about the bier. The body
is to lie in state at the armory again
today, from 9 A. M. until 5 P. M.
Record Held an Athlete.
Attesting the popularity of Ser
geant Schaeffer while a member of
the old Third regiment, on the Mexi
can border in 1916, and subsequently
with the 162d infantry, was his rec
ord as an athlete. He was catcher
for his company's baseball team,
plaved on the football team and be
came middleweight wrestling cham
nion of the 162d regiment.
The mother, to whom came the high
military honor he won, is now in St.

Bolb;
Murray, talented IVew

Patrolman Pfenning was standing
in front of-the station when Perkins
drove up. Pfenning noticed that he
automobile "wobbled" a little as it
drew up. He went to speak to Per
kins. As he did so his quick eye
caught a movement of Toenyes' hand
to his hip pocket. Pfenning caught
the hand as it came forth with a
bottle of moonshine that was to have
been dashed to the pavement.
The men had intended enjoying a
noodle across the street from head
quarters. Perkins was charged with
driving while intoxicated and Toen
yes with having liquor in possession.
Both men were denied bail for some
hours, poiice maintaining that they
were too drunk to be released.

G. A. R. Posts Attend Sermon
by Dr. MacCaughey.
FLAGS GIVEN EX-SOLDIERS
Minister Declares Peace Work of
.Fighters Entitles All to
Eternal Memorials. ,
"This memorial day signifies the
Immortality of heroic duty," stated
Dr. Charles W. MacCaughey, pastor of
the Centenary-Wilbur Methodist Epis
copal church yesterday morning tn
speaking on "The Significant Me
morial." Members of Sumner, George Wright
and Lincoln-Garfield posts of the G.
A. R. and the Women's Relief Corps
No. 21, attended the services in a
body. Special honors were accorded
the veterans, ana eacn one received a
small American flag as a souvenir of
the occasion.
Dr. MacCaughe;- spoke from the
words "What mean ye by these
stones." Joshua iv:6.
"As long as this nation stands you
and your comrades will live in the
memory of a preserved and grateful
people, not only as heroes, but as
saviors, for it is almost Impossible for
human mind to conceive what the
course of history would have been
had this union not been preserved,"
he said.
Record to Remain.
. "The people of all climes and
tongues will keep your memory green,
for your record will stand forever as
a common heritage. You were not
the slaves of a despotic will. - You did
not go and your comrades did not die
at the behest of a tyrant You were
not moved by the lust for conquest,
nor the lust for glory. Your sacrifice
was voluntary. When the life and
liberty of the human race was threat
ened you freely responded, in your
determination that free Institutions
should perisn from off the earth.
Time will destroy the marble of your
tombs, for no chiseled epitaph can
survive its attacks. The steel of your
bayonets will rust and decay, but your
memorial will remain eternally in
the hearts of men, In the principles
for which you suffered, and In the
unity of this nation that you ce
mented with your own blood.
"At a conference of the members
of the American Legion, not, long ago
Joseph Cannon delivered a remark
able address. He told his hearers that
the veterans of the civil war did more
than save their country in war, for
they saved it in the peace following
the war. They came back from the
.,.iD'iirf nnd camps and took up
the routine of life where they had laid
it down. They became the conserva
tors of the nation's resources and the
builders of its waste places. They
took the lead in business, professional
life, politics, religion ana tui"j.
Development Taken Vv.
"With the energy and confidence
learned on the field of battle they
threw themselves tremendously into
the development and reconstruction
of their country. That they did this
successfully is shown by the fact that
since that time the population of the
nation has increased from 30,000,000
to more than 100,000,000, and the
wealth, from about $16,000,000,000 to
$250,000,000,000. In addition to that
they have brought about an increase
in ideals, humaneness, care of poverty
and destitution and moral improve
ment greater than had been produced
since the time of Moses.
"Mr. Cannon pointed out that to
these veterans, saving the country
was not one great act. The children
of Israel, after they crossed the Red
sea said: 'Now it is all over.' They
began to disagree, quarrel, follow
false gods, and as a consequence were
compelled to wander for 4U unneces
sary years in the wilderness. The
civil war veterans did not do that, but
pursued the work of peace as faith
fully as they did the work of war.
We cannot live on the glories of the
Argonne, Gettysburg nor Bunker Hill.
The best way to honor the noble dead
is by being true to that for which
they lied."
G. A. It. TRADITIONS LAUDED
Civil War Spirit Said to Challenge
Youth of Today.
The G. A. R. challenges the youth
of today to be worthy of the great
traditions of the past ana Dy con
serving these 'great trad'tions and
living them, to inspire us to face our
problems with faith," declared Rev.
Ward W. MacHenry yesterday morn
ing at the Mount Tabor Presbyterian
church. His subject was conservers
of Great Traditions."
Members of Ben Butler post of the
G A. R. and the Women's Relief corps
were honor guests, and the church
was crowded.
v'Every worth-while organization of
long life and historic past has certain
grat traditions handed down from
generation to generation. Palestine is
a land of memorials. The traveller
sees everywhere more or less au
thentic historic places associated with
great events and great persons of the
past; one whole tribe, Levi, was set
aside to conserve the patriotic and
spiritual ideals of Israel.
"The sea has its great traditions;
so has the stage, and in the same
manner the G. A. R. is the conserver
of American ideals.
'The popular phrase '100 per cent
American.' is often used cheap.y and
unworthily for politic effect ur self
advertising, but you men of the
G. A. R. earned your right to use it
on bloody battlefields and in 57 years
of constructive living for America.
"The greatest compliment .'.he boys
of 1918 paid you was not the salute
o- standing at attention as you
passed. They hearkened to your
teachings, followed your examples and
took the unstained flag of our coun
try overseas to continue the struggle
for liberty and democracy for others;
worthy sons of worthy sires.
"You have conserved for us a great,
beautiful, unselfish tradition of lib
erty; freedom to do right, sacrifice
self for the good of others, willing
ness to give your life for the perpetu
ation of American ideals, net the
mean and selfish idea that liberty
means to do as you please, regardless
of the rights of others.
"You have conserved tor us the
rights of the majority in our govern
ment. We have been very sensitive
to the right cf individuals -and mi
nority groups, but you i teach us
democracy, must rest on respect and
loyal co-operation in the expressed
auu LinaL wm ui iu majority ine
wisdom of all or of a vast majority I
is surely more trustworthy than the
wisdom of one or the self-opionated
stand of a stubborn few.
"Our future is rooted in our his
toric past; not that the "dead hand"
of the past holds us back or directs
our destiny, but our forefathers built
a magnificent foundation for our
state and- with marvelous vision ar
ranged for needed changes in any fu
ture growth of America. Our Con
stitution is a wonderful instrument
preserving our liberties and rooting
out future in the historic traditions
of the past.
"Memory is .the starehouse cf the
mind and today we breathe the frag
rant and beautiful memories of those
who gave their lives for freedom and
democracy and the inspiration of the
grea.t days of '61."

PORTLAND, May 9. Dear Madarc.
Rlchet: Can you please tell me how the
opening's for the ribbon laces are finished
in the collar of the dress No. 2604 in the
McCall for April? Thanking you. T. P.
TP.:
to
At this date I do not happen
o have the issue of which you
write, but will say that in nearly all
cases the openings are either bound
or buttonholed.
PORTLAND, May 14. Dear Madam
Richet: I am puzzled about my summer
frocks and am writing to you for some sug
gestions. I am 17 years old. 5 feet 5 inches
tall and rather stout, gray eyes and golden
colored bobbed hair. I have a rather large
bust, so all styles do not tit me. I want
to have a brown canton crepe dress. What
pattern would you suggest and what trim
mings? Also I intend to have a gingham
dress and a linen dress. What'colorg and
patterns would .you Suggest for. these?
Would patent leather oxfords and gray
stockings be proper with a tweed suit?
Thanking you. VIRGINIA.
VIRGINIA. Your brown Canton
crepe will find a pleasing line in the
model as shown in the Ladies' Home
Journal, page 11, dress 3469 the sum
mer quarterly. If you are stout do
not have the design as shown on the
skirt and sleeves, but keep in the
plain line. Combine with the black
satin as the trim for your collar, side
line, sleeve finish and sash.
A gingham dress made as model
3347, using the pique for the collar,
cuffs and the motifs will be very ef
fective. The linen as the dress 3571,
using a contrasting shade for the
flowers will be equally fetching. Both
will be found on page 17 in the But
terick quarterly for the summer.
A sport exford is the proper thing
to wear with the tweed suit and never
a patent leather.
SILTCOOS, Or., May 4. Dear Madam
Rlchet: I have used a number of your
splendid Ideas, even though they were not
intended for me. I have a dark blue
messaline dress that I would like to make
over. It was made last year, has a long
waistline with an over-skirt. The under
skirt' is full length. Dress slips on over
the head.- is trimmed in blue beads. I like
the dress as it is very much, only the skirt
is narrow and the seams are pulling apart
at the bottom.
Have thought of getting a black taf
feta for myself. Have planned on making
It like the one in McCall's Magazine for
May Dress, No. 2492. page 48. Perhaps you
can see something better. Am 25 years old.
5 feet 6 Inches tall, weigh about 140
pounds, dark brown hair, dark eyes and
no color. A
Could you tell me what to use to set
the colors? Hoping I am not asking too
much, yours truly. NELLIE.
NELLIE: With the underskdrt too
tight you might like the plan of put
ting in the inset in a matching blue
and letting it take the form of the
inverted pleat. This will be the most
successful method in a dress such as
yours.
For the black taffeta why not have
a more youthful type of dress, such as
is shown in the summer quarterly of
the McCall issue? On page 39, No.
2651, is a charming style for such a
fabric as a taffeta Have the collar,
cuffs and the belt made of the cherry
colored crash or the organdy. This
will brighten up the dress and your
face will carry the reflection.
A complete list was given a few
issues past regarding the "color set
ters" and sriace cannot now be given
to the same item, but the salt, vinegar
and sugar of lead. will be found help
ful with the colors you mention.
PORTLAND, May 12. Mr. Dear Madam
Richet: I have four yards of goods like
sample, 36 inches wide, and would like a
suggestion as to style of making, also what
color and kind of material would look
best underneath. ti
Am 5 feet 5 Inches ' tall, weigh 125
pounds, hair brown, eyes blue-gray, bust
36 inches, good complexion and color.
Thanking you. MRS. P. R. S.
MRS. P. R. S.: Your sample has
quite fascinated me, for it has so
many "moods" and is equally attrac
tive in several combinat'ons. How
ever, we must make the decision and
I wish that you would try it over an
orange taffeta. Somehow the real
value of the design gains truest value
so combined. As for the style of dress
I am sure that you will enjoy the
rather different line in the dress as
shown in the Ladies' Home Journal,
page 17, No. 2999. Have the under
drop of the taffeta and the top of your
material, the sash and aide revere of
the taffeta. The effect of the mar
quizette top dress and the exposed
bottom line in the taffeta will be most
attractive. If in the event you do
no.t favor the orange, then I would
s ogest the blue to mater the figure
In the material, but there is no com
parison if you desire real beauty in
color relaticri.

-Preparation for Tuesday.-
TRIBUTE" TO DEAD READY
Ex-Soldiers Gone Beyond to Re
ceive Special Honors From
, Citizens of Portland.
Some measure of the spirit of Me
morial day, when a grateful nation
turns thought to memory of those
who have fought and those who have
died that it might be preserved in, its
righteous missions, descended yester
day upon the city.
It was a day of memorial services
in the churches. In nearly every
congregation there sat the veterans
who have borne arms in these mili
tary actions where led the Stars and
Stripes. Decorations, music, sermons
and exercises ,very largely .centered
about the patriotism that is to be ac
corded the wider public recognition of
tomorrow's holiday.
Posts Attend Services.
In accordance with their annua
custom, the ten Grand Army of the
tiepublic posts of the city attended a
morning church service of their
choosing. Gordon Grainger post
members occupied a special section at
the First Congregational church.
Members of Ben Butler post attended
the services of the Mount Tabor Pres
byterian church. Few congregations
of the larger churches were without
a quota of veterans of the days of
'61-'65 or later wars. Members of the
Masonic order held public services in
tribute to their soldier dead at the
public auditorium.
Tomorrow business of the city will
suspend while patriotic- citizens join

new element. Since last the day was

The "bad man" who late Saturday
night flashed a revolver and a roll of
bills on M. W. S. Brown, engineer
employed by the Great Northern, and
threatened him with death, was taken
into custody early yesterday morning
by Inspectors Tackaberry and Phil
lips. He gave the name of Dan Ray
mond and said he was 55 years old.
Brown met Raymond in a restaur
ant, he told police, and, thinking that
he was broke," offered him 25 cents
with which to buy a meal. Raymond
scorned the proffered money, showing
Brown a roll of bills and several
watches that he said he was trying
to sell. A short time later Brown
again met Raymond and this time
he said Raymond seemed to think he
