BASE HOSPITAL FOR
PORTLAND 111 SIGHT
Orders From Washington for
Establishment of First Unit .
Expected Any Time.
MORE THAN 200 VOLUNTEER
Kot Only One, but Two Medical and
Surgical Staffs Could Be Or-
ganized . Here . Quickly
and Effectively.
Orders may be received from Wash
ington at any minute for the formation
of a base hospital In Portland. All
local physicians, surgeons, nurses and
nurses' aids who have volunteered for
service will be notified to hold them
selves in readiness for the call tothe
front.
Just before boarding the train for
"Washington Friday night. Dr. K. A. J.
Mackenzie, head of the local Red Cross
chapter, made this announcement to
the managing committee of the Red
Cross campaign.
"Because of the generous response of
patriotic professional men and women
In Portland and other Oregon cities,"
said Mr. Mackenzie, "I shall be able to
report that Portland, stands ready to
organize and equip a base hospital for
active service Immediately upon re
ceiving official orders. Already more
than 200 physicians and surgeons have
volunteered, and as many nurses and
nurses' aids. Local Red Cross officials
have been expecting such a call for
some time, and have also anticipated
orders for the formation of naval base
and military base units. The call for
a. hospital base will be the first to
come, and. it may come at any minute."
Portland Ready to Respond.
The staff of a base hospital is com
prised of 10 physicians, 10 surgeons,
one direetor, three clerks, one head
nurse, 40 nurses and up to 60 orderlies,
with a Colonel in charge delegated by
the United States Army.
"Such a base," said Dr. Mackenzie,
"might be assembled under the auspices
of the medical department of the Unt--erslty
of Oregon, in affiliation with
the Oood Samaritan and St. Vincent
hospitals, very Quickly and very effect
ively. I can safely say that a double
unit. If called for, could be organized
and ready for service In a very short
time, from these three institutions and
the professional forces that have al
ready volunteered. These units would
be subject to mobilization at any time."
Dr. Mackenzie, as chairman of the
local Red Cross chapter, has been mak
ing earnest appeals, through every
available channel, for Red. Cross work
ers in every department.
Workers at Home Needed.
"We must have an army of workers
at home," said he, "to support our army
of soldiers at the front. The Red Cross
is now an official part of our country's
military forces, and the Army and Navy
depend upon It. Those at home are
called upon to serve their country
through the Red Cross. In our busy
auxiliaries hundreds of Portland wom
en are already at work making hos
pital garments, cutting and rolling
bandages, making surgical dressings,
knitting wool sox for patients, etc. We
need more of these workers.
"Every patriotic woman should get in
touch with these working centers, lo
cated in the downtown department
stores. If she cannot give her time
at these auxiliaries she can take home
knitting and sewing to do In her odd
moments. We must keep a steady
stream of - these Red. Cross supplies, in
enormous quantities, moving towards
the front, so long as the war lasts.
Money is needed, too; vast sums of it,
to buy the materials for the supplies.
to purchase and equip ambulances, and
for other imperative demands of the
service.
Service to Country Outlined.
"If you have not Joined the Red Cross,
do so at once, and add a substantial
pift to your membership fee of 1
When you give to the Red Cross you
are serving your country, you are help
ing to win this war for humanity and
democracy, and you are doing a. splen
did work of mercy besides."
Dr. Mackenzie expects to be back In
Portland for Red Cross week and to
assist the local campaign committee
with the climax of the big financial
"drive" for Red Cross funds that will
begin immediately after the June elec
tion.
Plans for Red Cross fund-gathering
campaigns in all the territory west of
the Rocky Mountains will be discussed
and worked) out at the big Red . Gross
conference at San Francisco Monday.
H.'I Corbett, president of the Chamber
of Commerce, and H. W. Stone, general
secretary of the local Y. M. C. A., have
gone to San Francisco to represent
Portland at . this conference.

COLUMBIA SMELT FROZEN
Thousands of Boxes of Apples Sent
to Seattle for Storage In Munici
pal Warehouses to Be Held
for Re-thipment.
"As a result of Seattle's municipal
dock storage facilities and the rates
charged, millions of shingles are being
continually stored there by companies
never before using the Seattle docks,"
said R. E. Emerson, .of Seattle, who
recently was in Portland. "The charge
is 4 cents per 1000 pounds for handling.
which Includes transferring from ship
to car, or car, to the warehouse and
back on shipboard or car.
"The charge for storage Is 6 cents
per thousand. This rate, with the fa
cilities for storage and handling, has
brought an immense amount of extra
business to the port In this one Item
alone. These rates Insure a profit.
Canned Salmon Stored.
"The municipal cold storage plant
has become the central storage place
for reshipment of thousands of cases
of canned salmon which never came
there before. It is estimated that
5,000,000 cases of canned salmon will
be handled this year. Many carloads of
Columbia River smelt were shipped this
SDrinsr to the Seattle municipal cold
storage plant to be frozen. The plant
received about 400 a car before tne
smelt were reshipped East. Recently
thousands of boxes of apples from va
rious parts of the Northwest have been
sent to the Seattle public cold storage
plant to be held for reshipment. This
also means good busloesafor the plant.

- 1918 Campaign Plans Laid.
The" plans laid by the Portland'com-
mlttee for the 1918 Buy-a-Home-Flrst
campaign are unique. During the
month that the publicity campaign Is
carried on there also -will be an ex
hibition at the Public Auditorium last
ing all month. For amusements there
will be Included an old-fashioned fair.
The exhibits will Include everything
that is used in the construction, equip
ment and furnishing, of the modern
home and the yard.
The various Oregon manufacturers
will havt on display their products and
the exhibition will be a "Buy at Home"
as well as a "Buy a Home" display.
It Is intended during the month to
construct a modern five-room bunga
low complete in eight hours and fur
nish It from cellar to attic with "made-ln-Oregon"
goods In another hour. This
public demonstration will attract a

of the house will be drawn by the
winner of-a contest among the archl
tects of Portland.
Hill Ferguson, chairman of the Na
tional "Buy-a-Home-First" committee
in speaking of the movement says:
Home and 'Baby Synonymous.
"As long as there are babies born
into the world, just so long are we
going to have homes. The two words
are synonymous. They go together.
And where we find the, home without
th baby, or the baby without the
home, those are the exceptional cases
that go to make up life.
"In France we are told that as- the
Germans retreat they - take away all
personal property and destroy every
thing they cannot move, including
houses, barns, trees, fences and roads.
Bad, it's true; but all is not lost. Al
ready the French farmer, now safe
within his countrymen's lines. Is seek
ing out the corners of his little farm.
He gets the soldiers to help him fill
up the trenches and the terrible holes
made by shell fire, and as 'the Spring
breaks he is sowing his crops over
the freshly harrowed ground. - This
year the farm will make him a' liv
ing and have something left over to
feed the army. His old house Is gone.
The money he had in the little country
bank has been taken by the Germans,
his furniture destroyed; but. thank
God. they couldn't take his land, and
in a few years the house will be re
built, the fences replaced and North
ern France again will blossom like
the rose. .

principlesthe home and real estate
that our buy-a-home movement is
based." '

BREAD In some form Is the principal
article of diet for most of man
kind. The products of corn, oats, rye,
millet, wheat, chestnuts, bananas, rice,
beans, and many other articles have
been used by different races as bread.
To the English-speaking races bread
means the food made from wheat-flour,
leavened (made porous by the action
of yeast) and baked.
The opinions concerning the desir
able qualities of bread vary with the
consumer, but in general the follow
ing qualities, according to Mrs. Henri

school of domestio science and art at
Oregon Agricultural College, now spe
cialist in home economics In the U. S.
Bureau of Education, have been agreed
upon: '
"Bread should bo In flavor sweet
and nutty; the odor should be the same
as the flavor; the texture should be
soft and tender, but not Inclined to
crumble; the boles should be small
and very numerous; the Interior of the
loaf should be thoroughly baked and
the exterior should be of a golden
brown on all sides; the color of the
crumb of the bread should be of a
delicate, creamy white. To attain
these' qualities In bread it is necessary
that good yeast and good flour be used,
that the materials be properly handled,
and the nroduct correctly baked.
