"Have been pretty much everywhere and seen pretty much everything since seeing you, but if you will forgive a platitudinous remark, I have seen noth ing that looked quite so good as Ore gon to my provincial home-loving eyes. "This is a great land for politeness in addition to war. The French never forget to be polite, punctiliously, spontaneously polite. Have always been thankful that I had sense enough to come at the beginning. It has been no pleasure trip, 1 assure you, and if anyone is having any fun over here or enjoying the trip, it isn't I, nor have I met the person.

W FUND RAISED Little Girls Give Afternoon Party for Benefit of Babes. ONE LEMON GOES LONG WAY Society Function Held in. Open Park Well Attended and Pennies Con trlbiuted, Aggregating 91.9 7, Go Into Mercy's Bottle. , How one lemon and six gallons of water helped the milk fund for the Belgian babies is a story that- several little Portland girls might tell If they wished. There Is a club of young ladies very young ladies which meets every once in a while In the park block at West ' 1 Park and Columbia streets. This club exists for the sole purpose of provid ing thirsty Belgian babies with milk, and It has Its own original methods of raising funds for the worthy cause. Last week the Belgian Baby Milk Club held a stirring meeting at which all the members made speeches and suggestions as to the best methods of making the community contribute money to furnish the Belgian babies with their accustomed food. Whether It was 8-year-old Cornell Thomason, secretary, or Dorothy Sand strom. president, who Is slightly her senior, is not known, but someone made a lovely plan which all the ladies agreed would raise Immense funds for the uses of the society. One member of the olub immediately ran home and filched a large Juicy lemon from the refrigerator, another took a bowl of sugar from the side board and someone else collected large quantities of Bull Run water. The rest of the members went Into the highways and byways to invite guests to the afternoon party which the Bel gian Babies Milk Club was giving in the park block. It was hinted that de licious and novel refreshments would be served, so a large proportion of the neighborhood gathered in the park for the party. After the guests had freely partaken of the acidulated water, the plight of the poor Belgian babies, who had no such delicious thirst-quenchers, was told by various club members and the guests were urged to contribute to the cause. When the returns were count ed, the treasurer announced that the vast sum of $1.97 had been raised. The club immediately adjourned to a down town movie theater, where the mem bers proudly dropped the coins Into a Belgian milk bottle in the lobby. The Belgian Babies Milk Club will be glad to furnish original suggestions for raising funds to other patriotic or ganizations of the city. Lane County Boys Are " in Thick of Battle.

Telling of his part in what he re fers to as "the big times at the front," he says: "This is a great front We have many air battles and I have seen as high as eight or ten In one day. To see the front at night is a beauti ful atght. All kinds of rockets flare and there are lights of many colors. To see the fire fly out of the big guns and to hear the big old G.

Miss Elsie Paeschke. states: "We have spent another term in the trenches. We were in a place where Fritz stayed awake all night. It was a continual booming of cannons, shrapnel and high explosives. Once in a while we would be under a shower of shrapnel. We lived In dugouts In daylight so he couldn't see us, so his shrapnel seldom bothered. The air above us was full of airplanes and they looked like bees by the hundreds. We could see a Frltzie tumble once In a while." GOAL RATE PROTESTED TRAFFIC EXPERT COUSIN ID. DRKSSES CITY COUNCIL.

AT a Rotary Club luncheon at the Benson Hotel last Tuesday, a number of interesting; facts were presented In connection with the pres ent housing: situation In Portland. Statistics procured from a number of publlo utilities Indicated that the aver age annual increase In population from 1910 to 1915 was 12,750, giving; Portland a present population of something; over 800,000. The Increase during; the past year has been much above the average and at the present time the Increase Is estimated to be at the rate of 24.000 per year. A survey of the available houses In February showed but 1300 vacant properties in the 'city, of which 600 were not habitable, and 1300 houses Is but 2 per cent of the city's 60,000 homes, which Is normal to take care of repairs and renewals. To handle an Increased population of 24.000 a year new dwellings should be constructed at tne rate of 4000 a year, while at the present time dwellings are being; con QUICK AND I.;.yWsBSS III I HI Lr- caaUii if M Unavoidable wartime congestion of railroads and watenvsva K mmAm ' business dependent upon high grade motor trucks for quick and econom ical transportation.

It was stated that new work under way at three shipyards will call for the employment of 5700 additional men, without taking into consideration the probable continued increase in force In other manufacturing lines. In connection with rental prices be ing charged at this time, several talks were made tending to show that the average rentals being asked are not excessive and some of the speakers seemed to feel that owners were not receiving a fair return from their prop erties and that rentals should go to a higher figure. Not much was said re garding specific charges of profiteer ing in rents, but it was stated that this side of the question would be gone Into fully at a future meeting of the club. An official of one of the large ship building companies stated that his men were having a good deal of difficulty In securing living quarters and that In many cases it was necessary for men to take several days off from their work In their effort to secure suitable accommodations. He said that his com pany was Inaugurating a new rental bureau for the purpose of assisting their men in securing homes.
