Top Mr. and Mrs. I. R. Bond. Below Lieutenant ewtg II. Bond, Captain
P. S. Bond and LJeutenaat Aubrey H. Boad.
EUGENE, Or.. Dec 15. (Special.)
Rev. L. B. Bond, Confederate vet
eran, is one of the proudest fath
ers in- Eugene. Three of his sons are
serving as commissioned, officers in the
Nation's war forces. The most con
spicuous thing- In his home is an Amer
ican flag; beside it is unfurled a service
flag- with three stars, indicating the
number of persons who have gone from
the home to fight under the Stars and
Stripes in the war against Germany.
L K. Bond was a native of Tennessee
and fought four years for the South.
He served under General Bragg and
took part in many battles. Including
Chickamauga and Stone River. He came
to Oregon 25 years ago and served as
pastor of Presbyterian churches at
Brownsville. Woodburn, Sodaville and
Florence. Four years ago he retired
from the active ministry and came to
Eugene to make his borne. His sons in ',
the service are:
Captain Paul G. Bond, commanding
the Tenth Company, Oregon Coast Ar
tillery Lieutenant Aubrey H. Bond, of the
Engineering Corps, regular Army, sta
tioned at Leavenworth, Kan.
Lieutenant Lewis A. Bond, field artil
lery, stationed at Fort Leavenworth,
Kan. Lieutenant Bond has recently re
ceived an appointment to West Point.
Mrs. L. R. Bond, mother of these boys,
shares the father's pride.
"We have a fourth son, Jesse H., she
said. "He is a professor in Simpon
College, at Indianola, la. He will go.
if they need him. He is too old for the
draft, but he would never be a slacker."
The three sons serving in the Army
are graduates of the University of Ore
gon. Lewis Bond was an instructor at
the University for a time, an assistant
in the chemistry department.
Rev. Bond is a firm believer In the
aims of the allies as set forth by Presi
dent Wilson, and favors the prosecution
of the war against Germany until the
Prussian military autocracy is beaten
down to insure the peace of the world
in the future.
CIVIC LEAGUE MEETS
WELFARE -WORKERS ATTEND
WEEKLY luncheon.
Professor D. W. de Bask Addresses
Bleelns- on Problems of Child
I Welfare Work.
Social and child welfare workers of
Portland and other nearby cities at
tended the weekly luncheon of the Ore
gon Civic League yesterday at the
Multnomah Hotel to listen to the ad
dress of Professor D. W. de Busk, in
charge of psychology and social hy
giene education at the University of
Oregon, whose topic was "Problems of
Child Welfare Work and Institutions
for Such Work in This State."
He called attention in a forceful way
to the fact that a very large percentage
of school work is what may be known
as "repeating," that is, work that must
be done over from year to year. He
cited instances he had observed per
sonally and also quoted statistics to
show repeating is due to a large ex
tent to physical defects, such as poor
eyesight, adenoids and other drawbacks
that retard the student. He said that
as a result of repeating in education
the state is the loser to the amount of
no less than $600,000 each year. A
large part of this money could be saved,
he. said, if conditions were met in a
proper way.
Professor de "usk called attention
to the fact that there are about 7000
defectives in this state, of whom only
about 1000 are held at institutions
provided for them, while others are at
large, and the state suffers from the
offspring of such irresponslbles, as well
as from improper methods of dealing
with them.
" He spoke also of Juvenile Court work
and said many . leading thinkers are
agreed that such an institution should
be anything but a court and that law
yers should have no part in either
prosecuting or defending the children,
but they should be replaced by those
trained in social work.
James B. Kerr, president of the
league, was in 'the chair. Yesterday's
was the last regular luncheon of the
league until January 5, the interim
being the holiday vacation.
"FIRST SEVEN" HONORED
Seven Hundred of Those Who
Stemmed German 'Onrush Survive.
LONDON, Dec. IS. A choral com
memoration of the "First Seven Di
visions" the men who stemmed the
German onrush in the Summer and
Autumn of 1J14 was held today in
Albert Hall in the presence rf King
George and Queen Mary and 700 sur
vivors of the first British expeditionary
army in Trance.
The veterans, many of whom were
wounded, first were entertained at
luncheon by the Lard Mayor.
CARD OF THANKS.
Mrs. F. J. Carlisle wishes to express
gratitude for many kindnesses shown
during the illness and death of her
husband. Adv.
MARRIAGE IS SERIOUS MATTER,
SAYS CHARMING GRACE BENHAM
Leading Lady in "Fair and Warmer," an Early Attraction at Heilig,
Gives Her Impressions of Matrimonial Game.
HE leading motif in 'Fair and
Warmer is the enchaining of a
bored wife's interest through
Jealousy," says Grace Benham, who
plays Laura in "Fair and Warmer,"
which will be an early attraction at
the Heilig Theater.
"And you want to know what I think
cf that? If it's true that that Is the
best way to get anyone's interest?" she
smiled. "Well, yes. I have sometimes
thought about the matter, if only be
cause I am so often asked questions
- of the kind. But you mustn't take, my
opinions seriously; they are only the
result of one person's observations.
"I suppose that, superficially, it is
true that it is the best way. We all
like change and not to be too sure of
things. But you must notice that as
soon as Laura's husband has done wha
she wants him to do she doesn't want
him to do it. So you see she doesn't
really want an undependable Don
Juan for a husband. She only wants
some kind of variety in her life and.
being a married woman, unfortunately
her husband is practically her only In
terest. That's why she demands the
variety in him rather than in some oth
er direction. There is no other direc
tion in which she can look.
"I suppose if matrimony is to be
taken as a game the system he adopted
is all right. But if it is just a game
It should not be indulged in for very
long at a time.
"People have got either to take mat
rimony seriously or in short doses.
Playing it as a game may be amusing
or it may be very wearing. But which
ever it is, it seems to me it takes up
a. lot of time when one might be doing
something else. And just that mere
skill of a good player Is rather a sand
foundation to build marriage on. Per-

haps that's why so many women are
restless now.
"I wonder if they would be less rest
less if they had their separate work
like the men." she pursued. "So long
as I have enough work to do I am quite
happy. Or look at it the other way:
Suppose men had nothing to do but to
be married and hang around the house
all day. Don't you think it would be
fatal to marriage as an institution?"

heard of an offer to equal It. It seems
that all this month, when everyone is

Cherry's make an extra liberal offer,
although their usual terms are liberal
enough. You select anything you may
want, take it home and wear It or
give It for a Christmas present if you
prefer and don't pay a single cent on
it until the first of the year. That's
just like finding money to me. This
