LANYON. SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND, March 19. Americans are getting pretty plentiful over here now and we ex pect great things of them In the war zone. Thank goodness that we have an ally at last who can pay its own bills and provide for itself. The Mayor of a town not far away gave the United States soldiers a civic welcome a few evenings ago. Every one beams on them. I heard flatter ing remarks this morning on the fit of their tunics. Sammies and Tommies Mix. At first the American soldiers seemed to "keep themselves to themselves," as the local saying has it, but now the Sammies and the Tommies have fra. in 5 t Swedish Church to Unfurl Large Service Flag. "The Heavenly Maanloa Christ Has Prepared," Morning Theme. j...t t ijam.tM.' f tuAtw AT the Swedish Tabernacle, Glisan and North Seventeenth streets. Rev. C. J. Ledin will preach today on the following subjects: At 11 o'clock A. M., "The Heavenly Mansions Christ Has Prepared"; at 7:30 P. ,M., "Our Birthright." At the Young People's meeting, 5:30, he will submit a report of the semi-annual conference of the Young People's Covenant, which he at tended last week at Seattle, Wash. Next Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock a patriotic service will be held In the Tabernacle, when a service flag of the church will be dedicated. An inter esting and impressive programme will be rendered In tne fjngnsn language. An enlisted soldier from the church will have charge. In Atkinson Memorial Congrega tional Church today the pastor. Rev. Wsrren Morse, will speak on "Na tional War Service." f lorence. Crawiord will sjjak twicei ternized and go about together groups. All are khaki men togethe Occasionally an American man and "W. A. A. C." go by. Apparently the members of the Woman s Army Auxil iary Corps have taken to the United States Army. On a tram I saw a Sammy and Tommy sharing an evening paper, one holding each corner and both eagerly devouring the war news. I made up my mind to speak to th next American soldier 1 saw in spite of Mrs. Grundy. He looked a bit surprised, but I was well chaperoned by years and my Red Cross uniform and I think he was really quite pleased. He came from New York City the first American I have spoken to for nearly three years. His convoy, he told me, neatly evaded the enemy submarines. Yankee Sleeps Through. Raid. When I asked him what he thought of air raids he laughed and said he had slept all through the only one he had been in, a Zeppelin fiasco of a few nights ago. We heard a few bombs drop and our guns firing. Our windows shook as they would in a mild and distant earth quake. It was rather pleasantly rem niscent of San Francisco. Air raids, like plenty of other things, are not so bad when you get used to them An old lady in town remarked in a nonchalant way that she had seen her front door go past her up the front staircase." She was 84 years old. Another old lady of 80 was buried in the debris of her house for 10 hours and only kept alive by the pumping in of oxygen. When she was finally dug out and carried past the crowd on stretcher, she managed to wave her hand gaily and call out: "Don't worry about me, I am all right." No doubt their grandsons are excellent fighting men. We are still busy trying to make something substantial in the way of food out of nothing much. A sense of humor is almost as vaiuaDie a posses sion as lots of food, though. Perhaps not quite so filling. Nothing Wasted Over There. We had a pot of jam sent us the other day. We ate the jam and then econom ically used the mutton fat off the top of the jar to fry some herring in. Rations keep us hungry but amused. A gift of food-camouflage Is true gen ius. Necessity is the same old mother of Invention. I have Just been helping to make a delusive marmalade out of mashed parsnips and lemons. The glory of it lies In the fact that It only takes half a pound of sugar to make three pounds of the marmalade. A little oi this spread on a slice of war bread without butter, together with a sense of humor, will doubtless make an ex cellent breakfast. Advertisements Stimulate Hnmor. To stimulate my sense of humor, I nr.ployed a few idle moments the other day in writing some imaginary adver tisements. One ran: "Will any charitably disposed ladies or gentlemen subscribe small amounts of sugar, margarine or butter weekly to help a professional lady to hold her position Urgent. No offers too small to be gratefully accepted. Half ounces welcomed. Apply The Fat Lady, B n's Circus." i The other day I "imagined" in the columns of a well-known matrimonial journal: "A widow of ample means and appe tite desires to correspond with an eli gible vegetarian gentleman with a view to matrimony and the use of two meat ration cards. Has a loving dis position and a flourishing kitchen-gar den. Knowledge of weeding essential. Small vegetarian family not objected to. Apply Mrs. Bullock, The Villas." . ... I will not bore Portland with any more of them, but they seemed to amuse my not overcritical circle of acquain tances. . Laugh and grow fat. Even on war rations. Our young orderly at the hospital is still an active helper. "Shall I put your little pincers In the boiler, nurse?" he asks me eagerly, and I hand him my forceps to drop in the sterilizer. His mother came down the other morning and nobly offered us j the services of her son, free of charge. In fact, she said: "indeed, I'm slad to know he's out oXl Physical Culture. Privacy or Publicity, 'Which? A question in Physical Culture's mar rlage symposium called for an expres sion of approval qr disapproval of tha present laws permitting the privacies; of domestic life as revealed in divorce roceedings to be aired in the courts ' and newspapers. Eighty per cent, of the men and 84 per cent of the women. re opposed to this present custom. Even 71 per cent of the lawyers op posed it. Publicity of divorce proceedings per mits the most revolting revelations of private life to be headlined in the yellow journals a survival of the otion that the dignity of courts can make indecent things decent. The whole school of modern thought is to day fighting the existing prudery laws which forbid the serious discussion of matters of sexual health, birth control. tc. These discussions can be justified on the grounds of the right of man to nowledge. This knowledge is the es sence of the spirit of science which haa uilt our modern civilization, though bitterly opposed at every step of the forward march by dogmatism and prudery. But the airing of the private affairs of a man and his wife cannot be justified on the ground of the spread of knowledge, and appeals only to ttie appetite for prurient gossip. The rignt and decency of individual privacy must not be confounded with the plea for general scientific knowledge; no one can justify the journalistic mongering of divorce scandals. As the present situation stands it may not be without its ultimate bene fits, for the continued publication of the private miseries of divorce court proceedings is a constant reminder of the Indecency of the whole system of divorce that renders such proceedings necessary and may ultimately lead to divorce laws that may make it possiblo to dissolve an unhappy marriage in some more decent fashion. From "Will Easier Divorce Make Better Mar riasres?" , liy Gordon Reeves In April I t mischief, if he doesn't bother you, nurse." Another small boy was In mischief, this week, because he cut off his little sister's finger with a chopper. Of course, it was an accident, but hard on poor sister just the same. She was aa good as gold whilst it was being dressed. One very young patient whispered, proudly in my ear: "Nurse, I've got my Sunday bootses on." As it was a Monday, I looked duly impressed. That same day a larger sized patient said: "I see you o' Sunday, nurse, eh, but you did look smart and alL" As I was out of uniform when he saw me, I expect he thought I looked, "quite the lady." A dear little girl kept crying for her daddy, so I said: "Who is your daddy, dear?" She said, quite indignantly: "Why everybody knows my daddy. He's the big policeman at the crossing in town' I felt snubbed. The spajseness of the bacon ration saved one baby's life this week. Baby was in her nightie sitting by the kitchen fire, and her mother was cook ing some bacon. Suddenly the hot pan tipped right over on top of the child. She was badly burned on one side, but would have been much worse had there been more bacon in the pan. Her mother picked her up and rushed straight over to the hospital. We are very much excited at the hospital because there are rumors that we are to .have a lady house suraeon. Let us hope she will be kind and nice. As a humble V. A. D. I am immensely flattered at being invited to the in firmary nurses' party at the picture hcuse this week. It is given by the senior departing nurses as a sort of farewell to the others. So often V. A. D. nurses complain of being .snubbed by their professional colleagues. I must say I have always found them most kind and willing to teach me anything. Perhaps I have developed a desirably weak and humble spirit. I certainly have discovered that a V. A. D. nurse is not in hospital to teach, but to learn. The sooner one finds this out the better. I am afraid my uniform coat looks very disreputable to wear to a party. It did look worn out and thread-- bare beside the spick and span uniform of that American soldier I spoke to so boldly. I have Just received a parcel of 36 knitted wash cloths for the wounded, soldiers. They have been made and sent by the children of a school In Oak land, Cal., and are a most acceptable , gift. I shall take them up to the mili tary hospital tomorrow. My only soldier patient this week; was a man on leave who fell off hia bicycle and barked his knuckles. Ho went back to France the next morn- ing". My big soldier seems to have reached the sun at last and has been able to nipart his address. He is rather In articulate by letter. Deeds rather than words are his specialty. I shall never forget how he toiled to help me In the early mornings when he was in hospi tal and I was his nurse. His letters are rather of the "I-hope-you-are-welN as-it-leaves-me-at-preRent" variety.
