THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. rORTLAXD. JULY 14. 1918.
fflffll
D
, AY by day Portland women are
assuming new patriotic duties.
The way in which they are
working: In the Spalding Building: un
tier the chairmanship of Mrs. W. J.
Burns has not received full mead of
praise, nor have nearly all who have
been busy in the Lipman. Wolfe head
quarters, in the Red Cross or in the
various departments of the National
been given credit, but these are days
when people are working for the cause
and not for praise. Those who do the
most often get the least in the way of
tribute, but their reward is greater
than mere words or any public recog
nition could bring.
Those who work in making surgical
dressings, in the Kanntng Kitchen or
in any other centers, and the house
wives who a.re managing the menu so
that foodstuffs are saved are all hav
ing a part in the great work. Keeping
housw getting the dinner and making
thx various conservation dishes is a
task far different from what it used to
be, and Portland women are meeting
the task in fine spirit.
Mrs. Ferdinand E. Reed has been ap
pointed chairman of canteen work for
the Red Cross. The canteen will be
established in the depot, and Mrs. Reed
will have about 50 women assisting
her. The workers will wear blue uni
forms, quite a bright and becoming
shade, and veils to match.
Mrs. Reed is an enthusiastic gar
dener, cultivating her own vegetable
patch in her yard at Laurelhurst. She
is an enthusiastic worker, also. In the
fruit and Flower Mission and the Day
Nursery.
Portland will be represented at the
conference of the Woman's Committee
for the Liberty Loan, to be held in Chi
cago this week, when Mrs. William G.
McAdoo will preside. Mrs. Sarah A.
Evans will attend as chairman from
Oregon. There will be a strong com
mittee of women for the Fourth Lib
erty loan, and they are planning to co
operate splendidly with the men. The
women have card indexed the workers
that assisted in the last campaign and
will be ready to start the campaign
well systematized. Prominent women
will take the lead in the work in Mult
nomah County. Mrs. McAdoo, the Na
tional chairman, is known to several
Portlanders. as she visited here on one
occasion and was entertained at a
luncheon at the Joseph N. Teal resi
dence and on a motor trip out the high
way. Mrs. McAdoo, the youngest daughter
of the President, has been one of the
most zealous and hard-working women,
not only in the Liberty Loan drive, but
in the Red Cross campaign for funds.
Her enthusiasm is matched only by her
energy, and like many another woman
in the great emergency, she has devel
oped what amounts to a genius for
speechmaking. It is a prepared speech
she makes, but the fact that she makes
any is a great triumph for the woman
who a few years ago, as Nell Wilson,
was considered by her family as the
lightest-hearted, least serious of the
President's three daughters.
Apparently, she is just as interested
and intimately concerned in every
phase of the President's career as when
she was a girl at home. There was no
more attentive person in the House the
other day when he addressed Congress
than Mrs. McAdoo, who sat in the Pres
ident's pew in the gallery and never
lost a word. She wears blue a great
deal (it is exceedingly becoming, as it
was to Mrs. Longworth. from whom the
Alice blue got its name), and on this
occasion her gown was of blue chiffon,
and the small, smart crepe de chine hat
was the same color, one tone deeper.
Although Mrs. Baker, wife of the
Secretary of War, and Mrs. Houston,
wife of the Secretary of Agriculture,
are both young women, and mothers of
very young persons, Mrs. McAdoo is
the youngest of the Cabinet women,
and mother of "the littlest girl." dis
tinguished as the baby of the Cabinet,
Ellen Wilson McAdoo.
She is a quaint little thing, with ir
resistible charm and a vivacity, when
she chooses, that is not unlike that of
her half sister, Sallie McAdoo, to whom
she Is greatly devoted.
The little girls are the only members
of the family who are spending the
Summer with the Secretary of the
Treasury and Mrs. McAdoo. Mrs. Mar
tin, the eldest daughter (a young wid
ow) was married only recently to Clay
ton Piatt, Jr., of Philadelphia.
Madame de Mohrenschildt (she was
Mona McAdoo until a year ago. when
she married Ferdinand de Mohren
schildt, attache of the Russian Embas
sy) is occupying the Washington house
of the Secretary on Sixteenth street for
the Summer, while the two young sons
are in the service. The elder is in the
Marine Reserve Corps and the younger
has enlisted in the aviation service.
Information Is Quickly and
Tersely Supplied.
Woman' Technical Department of
Central Library Provn Its Value.
Htj woman s technical department .
of the Portland Central Library is
meeting the needs of many patrons and
is growing daily in popularity. All
sorts of questions are answered in this
emporium of general information. The
department was established recently to
give women the opportunity to
get information quickly and concisely
and in a measure to put the library
Upon a war basis.
Men as well as women have found
the department interesting and have
carefully studied its advantages and
offerings.
Two young girls wanted the require
ments for becoming a forest ranger, as
they hoped to get such a position to
gether. A young Japanese wanted
books on medicine. A housewife want
ed a recipe for "spare ribs and sauer
kraut." found only after a search in a
cookbook. An elderly woman wanted a
suitable "wedding menu for wartime."
One man inquired the nature of the
new technical room, while looking for
poultry books, and remarked: "I wish
the women luck!"
A list of 16 titles each on biography,
travel, business, readable fiction, was
made for a bulletin at the Martha
Washington.
Two requests for sun-cooked straw
berries were received, one being repeat
ed over the telephone from the cook
book. Books on efficiency were asked for
by a girl, French poodles, their care
and feeding; home canning of spinach,
peas, tomatoes, asparagus, cauliflower,
were some of the topics involved.
A list of 17 titles "Whimsical Tales"
was made for a young business
woman who liked "Wind in the wil
lows." Letters of "application for a business
position" were asked for. and "how to
conserve food" was a request from one
of the large hotels.
Six or seven books on vegetable
growing for a "war garden were re
quested. Two questions were telephoned In on
feeding of infants.
A young woman going Into the Navy
wanted books on physiological chemis
try and dietetics; another wanted
"practical nursing," a third "beekeep
ing." Seven men to one woman was the
proportion noted one day at the read
ing tables therefore the name of the
department is not prohibitive.
Books on household economy, and a
It
HI
ft I h
. I fa T?Z23S
milk diet, a recipe for tamales. books
on design, "raising chickens," how to
serve ices and ice creams in a hotel,
were requested.
An elderly woman with interesting
pioneer reminiscences wanted to know
'"how to dry cherries" she had dried
other fruits, but not cherries.
Books that told all about pets, espe
cially dogs; books on printing:, plays for
young- children to produce, a recipe for
Chinese noodles, have been in demand.
A business girl wanted a book on the
adding machine practice; a Greek
French method was asked for by a
young Greek or Armenian.
"How to break up a match was
earnestly sought for by a woman who,
after a long search, walked out with
"Woman and the Home," which seemed
to contain some matter relevant to the
subject.
"I want a book on cooking cooking
for profit," said a man who studied long
the hotel and restaurant cookbooks.
Christian Scientists Help in
Work for Soldiers.
Patriotic Sen-Ice Covers Wide Range
of Activities.
COMFORTS forwarding committee of
Christian Scientists Is doing a large
amount of patriotic service
This committee was organized in Bos
ton December 1. 1917, for the purpose of
extending aid to soldiers and sailors
in the service and later the work was
extended to aiding refugees in the war
swept countries of Kurope. In the na
ture of the task all that the Govern
ment can be expected to do Is to pro
vide the essentials of the men's equip
ment; it remains for those at home who
are willing to exert themselves to add
the little things that mean so much to
one in service. This work puts a hu
man background into the work and
only with such a background are men
moved to do their best.
The comforts forwarding committee
was organized with headquarters in
Boston and branch committees com
j posed of Christian Scientists have since
I been organized in 800 cities and towns
throughout the United States. Three
I hundred of these have been organized
j within the last three months.
inruugu inesc orancnes over duuu
pounds of yarn is being distributed
each week to persons knitting for men
in the service.
Workers Are Busy.
These committees In all of the large
cities maintain quarters in easily ac
cessible places, where forces of work
ers are kept busy assorting, labeling
and forwarding to headquarters in
Boston or distributing to men In the
service in the local fields sweaters,
socks, vests, helmets and other knitted
garments. They also accept articles of
second-hand clothing, which are reno
vated and repaired and then sent across
the seas to assist the unfortunate ones
in Belgium, France or wherever the
reed is most evident. A large force Is
constantly at work making new gar
ments and working over old ones for
the refugees. In all an army of 1000
workers are giving their time and la
bor to the cause of freedom.
In the first six months of its activity
this patriotic organization has accom
plished the following work:
Total number of knitted goods, etc..
distributed, by this committee to
men in war service 50.890
Total number of garments made by
sewing units of Greater Boston and
distributed by this committee for
men In war service and refugees.. 19.307
Total number of old and new gar
ments received from the field and
distributed by this committee for
refugees 16,053
Articles sent out by the field but not
through this committee for men
In war service and for refugees.... 61.720
Total number of articles distributed
by this committee and Its branches
from December 1. 1917. to June
1. 19X8 201.970
Mark Aid Accompllnhed.
In distributing the above articles this
committee has been able to aid In
very effective way many other relief
committees that have been in existence
for some time, as well as giving very
substantial help to men in all branche
of war service.
As the work of the branch commit
tees becomes more settled and better
understood by all and the work that Is
being accomplished becomes better
known, the productions of these com
mittees will be largely increased.
The Portland branch of the comforts
forwarding committee of Christian
Scientists, having headquarters at 205
Pittock block, will remove to 218 Pit-
tock block on July 15, where rooms are
being fitted up to facilitate the work,
which is showing constant growth and
increased activity. During June the

ful to give such loving help to men in
service and to refugees.

list for Training.
Red Cross and Defease Council to
Conduct Active Campaign.
HE American Red Cross and the
Council of National Defense,
through their Nursing and Woman's
Committees, are uniting their forces to
conduct an immediate, short and Inten
sive campaign to enroll a United States
Student Nurse Reserve for training
schools in both Army and civilian hos
pitals, in order that every vacancy
shall be filled.
The most vital work in this cam
paign is the actual recruiting, and this
cannot be done in Washington. This
important task has been delegated to
the state divisions and county and lo
cal units of the woman's committee.
What is needed Is the enrollment of
25,000 physically fit young women be
tween the ages of 19 and 35, having
full high school training and prefer
ably college training. Candidates will
not be refused, however, for lack of
having completed a high school course.
Enrollment in this United States Stu
dent Nurse Reserve means that the
candidate will hold herself ready until
April. 1919, to take training when she
is offered an assignment in a training
school, unless she has In the mean
time entered other Government war
service. The campaign will open Mon
day, July 29, and close on August 11.
These dates are for actual enrollment.
Recruiting stations will be provided
and assistance secured of all possible
agencies. Before the opening of the
campaign all details will be given
through the press.

"Where are the heroes of France?
Not all of them are in the army. Hun
dreds of them we found fruarding some
hearthstone often not their own lov
ing their soil too dearly to leave It to
suffer alone realizing too keenly that
each day they must renew their sacri

were being received, including tne lead

During March more than 500 books were
borrowed from the Central Library and
In April and May. 200. An allowance of
S25 per month was made by tne Library
Association for the purchase of new-
technical books, and this sum has been
carefully expended.
S. Benson has again shown his Inter
est in the advancement of industrial
education by the gift of $1000 for tech
nical books for the school library. The
standard books in science and tech
nology will be purchased with this
fund, and in time the library will be
come one of the best of Its kind any
where. The soldiers now at the Benson Poly
technic School are making splendid use
