TINY PORTLAND GIRL IS NAMED IN HONOR
OF FAMOUS STAR OF WORLD OF FILMDOM
June Caprice Morrison Is New Arrival's Name, and Movie Actress Sends Presents as Soon as She Learns Fact
That Tot Has Been Made Her Namesake. '
IF the Portland city directory were
all-inclusive it would contain this
name: June Caprice Morrison, 388
East Fifty-seventh street North.
June Caprice Morrison is the infant
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. "W. Mor
rison and Mrs. Morrison is one of those
'nth degree fans of the celluloid drama.
Bo it is not difficult to connect June
Caprice Morrison with June Caprice,
the 17-year-old star of Wiliiam Fox
features.
Mary Pickford. Marguerite Clark.
Clara Kimball Young and other film
luminaries have been variously hon
ored by the country's fandom, but Mrs.
Morrison is among those who believe
that the star of June Caprice is the
one to hitch to.
Mrs. Morrison reflected: "Battleships
are named for states: apartment-houses
and Pullman cars for no one knows
what; cigars for Presidents and Cuban
patriots. Why was it not eminently
fitting that a dainty little Oregonian,
lately arrived in this world, should re
ceive the name of her motion picture
favorite?
Consequently there now resides at
888 East Fifty-seventh street North
tiny June Caprice Morrison.
Tucked away in Miss Caprice's mail
recently was a letter from little June's
mother. When June read the note
she bounced out of her dressing-room

autographed them and given them to
be framed for her namesake.
Into the accompanying letter of
thanks and. good wishes that Miss Ca
price sent to Mrs. Morrison went a
gift from June, Sr., to June, Jr. The
William Fox star is indeed apprecia
tive of her newest distinction.

sailors did cook sometimes. Toad-stoolly-looking
mushrooms, poached
rabbit and splen-apple sauce!
If they were invited to an outing,
such a washing of collars and pressing
out of clothes went on as never was.
It was a real fight to get any steriliz
ing done because the gas ring was al
ways occupied by a. busy flatiron. A
sailor sure is a handy man.
To fulfill a promise, I have Just un
dergone the ordeal of having my photo
taken in my naval nurse's uniformAs
no photographs are permitted to be
sent to neutral countries my American
friends cannot see it. It is perhaps
just as well, those army caps are very
trying. '
"V. A. D.'s might almost as well be
bald as possess hair to be hidden so
effectually. In some hospitals they
are only allowed to wear their ears
sticking out like handles, but we are
allowed to show just a sample of hair.
To keep up the traditions of the
navy one must "grouse" (grumble). It
is "de rigour." Therefore we nurses
like to pretend we are great martyrs.
At heart we are blissfully happy In our
work and should not mind one bit if
we had to have our hair shaved off
altogether for the good of the cause.
I heard of a detention ward they
have in one big military hospital where
evildoers are put. They are on milk
diet, have nothing to read, nor anyone
to talk to, and worst punishment of all.
no nice sympathetic nurses to take
care of them, but hard-hearted order
lies. I believe a man has to get thor
oughly drunk before he is given a day's
punishment In this ward. Foolish,
kind-hearted people will sometimes
ask a wounded soldier to have a drink,
a cruel kindness to him in his weak
state.
Girl Gathers Moss for Dressings.
I know a Scotch girl who devotes all
her time to gathering and preparing
Sphagnum moss for surgical dressings.
Her three brothers were all in the
"Royal Scots." Now, alas, one Is dead.
o
wo
news of the one who Is "missing.1
This Sphagnum is a bog-moss and Its
wonderful curative qualities were well
known to the ancients. Some people
have spoken of it as a recent German
discovery, but it was well known to
the Gaelic races. It was written about
in 1014. Just 900 years ago.
At that time the Chronicle tells of a
marvelous battle where the wounded
men just stopped to gather this moss
and stuff their wounds so that they
might continue fighting unto death.
An old Highlander tells of his an
cestors doing the same thing at the
battle of Flodden. I can quite believe
they' would do it today.
Luxuries Gathered for Nurses.
I am a strange old-world figure my
self just now. I am dressed in decided
ly out-of-date clothes, and such as they
are, they are full of creases after their
long holiday spent folded away in a
trunk. It is one of the sad disillusions
of life to take out clothes which one
has put away in excellent condition and
to discover that they look as if they
came out of a rag-bag. I daresay.
however, they will outlast my holiday
time and hang together until January.
I am successfully collecting a few
of the luxuries of life for the Nurses'
Hotel. One kind friend has nobly of
fered some new feather pillows for the
nurses to rest their weary heads upon.
I daresay these pillows will find the
hospital their final resting place be
cause any nurse worth her salt would
rather rest her patient's head than her
own. The patients are rather well
provided with them already, as it hap
pens.
I am told that I am shortly to have
a contribution to the Belgian fund
from Portland. It will be a most wel
come help to our local fund. Only yes
terday I heard of a poor Belgian
woman. Just out of the hospital after
two operations, who was badly in need
of shoes.' They were given to her, but
constant calls upon it have sadly di
minished the fund. The Belgians will
greatly appreciate this help from over
the seas.
The little woman who gave the ring
her soldier son had made from a con
quered Zeppelin, will be proud to think
that it has gone to one who has given
money to help her beloved Belgium.
Damascus Has Singing Class.
DAMASCUS, Or., Dec. 9. (Special.)
A singing school was organized at the

PORTLAND SOLDIER, FIGHTING
FOR ENGLAND, IS KILLED
Comrades Praise Officer Who Draws Word Pictures of Rose Gardens of
Portland Just Before Bullet Strikes Nurses Told Not to Flirt.
BY EDITH E. LANTON.
SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND, Nov.
10 I am still waiting here in the
south to understudy any nurse who
may have to leave the naval hospital
unexpectedly this month. I have prom
ised to be on hand all through the
month of November in case of emer
gency. I am called up again for three
months, beginning on January 1.
The month-of December will be a
holiday month for me, and I am to 1
spend St in the north. This holiday
will be diluted by lessons in surgical
nursing at the infirmary two or three
times a week. I shall hope to be doing
dressings in the out-patients' depart
ment as much as possible.
"The rain; it raineth every day," and
we are having big storms. The sea
looks magnificent, but I cannot help
but think of my beloved ex-patients
out there in the heart of the storm. The
sea looks very cruel when it is gray
instead of blue.
Portland Officer Killed.
This morning I got a letter from my
gunner-sergeant friend. As I am sure
Portland people will be interested I
will quote what he says about a gal
lant officer who has given up his life
for the cause:
"We lost one of our best officers up
there, and. strange to say, he came
from Portland, Or., and most of his
relatives and friends live there. I was
wondering whether you would ' know
him. He was only speaking to me
about Portland and the beautiful rose
gardens there a few hours before he
was wounded. I have heard that he
died through the operation. He was a
fine officer and a good man."
Then follows the name of this man
whom Portland may well be proud of.
It is a Scotch name. If I only knew
his address over there, as well as his
name, I would get my sefeeant-f riend
to write to his people.
I am delighted to think that so many
of the things my Portland friends sent
me went to his regiment of the Royal
Field Artillery.
Prisoner Says Food Is Short.
A few days ago I had a most pa
thetic letter from the mother of the
prisoner of war in Germany of whom
I have written before. He is under-fed
and under-clad and life is so mono
tonous to him in his. prison that he
tells her that sometimes he almost for
gets who he is.
Poor chap! He will appreciate the
warm Jersey he Is to have. Were it
not for the parcels of food he gets
from time to time he would starve to
death. It is monstrous that our brave
men should be treated so shamefully.
I miss my cheerful sailor men and
am only too glad when I get a letter
or a photograph from one of them.
"Jack" evidently does not forget as
i quickly as he is supposed to. Tlie
warm words of thanks in those let
ters are very pleasant to receive.
I am carefully collecting the names
of their ships that they may be' cheered
by a parcel at Christmas time. I have
a cousin who has a pleasant habit of
sending Christinas puddings - to - the
Navy and shall try to induce her to
send them to some of my boys.
The Army really gets more gifts than
the Navy, so many people "didn't raise
their boy to be a sailor." The Navy
does not advertise. It sits tight and
says nothing. My men often told me
proudly, "We are the silent Navy,
nurse."
They always felt very pleased to '
think that I came through the German !
submarines when they were still plen- '
tiful, and knew how it felt. I thor- j
oughly enjoyed it. .Since then our
silent Navy has chewed up and swal
lowed most of those submarines. The
ones still at large belong to another
generation.
We had one big rumpus at the hos
pital when one of the patients fell in
love with a Red Cross nurse so thor
oughly that they got married! Such a
thing is absolutely against all hospital
rules and etiquette. The edict went
forth that in future no nurse must go
out in mi'fti! Apparently V. A. 1 uni
form is supposed to repel the most ro
mantic sailor; or is it that one is easily
detected from a distance?
Orders Prevent Weddings.
I heard one man indignantly holding
forth that there were older laws than
hospital laws which no man could dis
obey. Apparently the laws he spoke
of were made by one Cupid, an archer.
Anyway, up to now, as far as we
know,, there have been no more wed
dings. The little every-day luxuries of life
seem delightful to me now after rigid
hospital life. Early cups of tea, hot
water and dainty dressing appoint
ments rejoice my heart.
I fear my very soul loves luxury,
like a pussy cat. At the hospital ray
dressing table had a nice durable oil
cloth cover, so-called "American
cloth." Nice marbled oilcloth: and in
the hot weather my ivory things stuck
to it and nasty chunks of oilcloth up
side down came off on the backs of my
brushes and things.
Heavy Quilt Appreciated.
My dear sympathetic cousin says I
must take back a nice lace cover, but
I guess I can stand white oilcloth
(even If it is marbled) If the other
nurses can. I do gratefully accept the
loan of an eiderdown quilt, though. It
will be fiendishly cold getting up at
6:15 A. M. through January, February
and March. I shall have a warm glow
in my heart, though, because it is all
for the honor and glory of Britain.
1 only hope I am lucky enough to
get back on my own ward "C." What
nice, surreptitious little suppers those
