This is the I I sign that might well be hang ing outside the doors of the workrooms where sphagnum moss Is being picked, dried and prepared for making of surgical dressings. Can any patriotic woman turn a deaf ear and eyes that see not toward that call? At the Irvington clubhouse, in the Worcester building, every day except Saturday and Sunday, and at the First Presbyterian Church Monday nights and all day Wednesdays there is a need for workers. Maybe the women need a vacation, but the boys over there aren't getting a rest now. They are doing things. The news of the week makes it certain that the workers should "get back on the Job.'.' At the Spalding building, under the chairmanship of Mrs. W. J. Burns, of the war relief auxiliary of the Portland chapter of the Red Cross, splendid work Is being done in making of surgical dressings. The women are devoted to their task and work early and late. On Wednesday evenings there is a dele gation of young girls who are directed by Miss Clara Teal and they are doing their share with fine spirit. At Lip man & Wolfe's rooms the work is proceeding well under the leadership of Mrs. C. B. Woodruff. For this coming week it is important to note that Thursday will be "forget-me-not" day. The money raised will be for French and Belgian relief. Let all women of clubs, societies, auxiliaries and churches unite in making the day a success. Last week the Italian benefit at Mrs. Hoffman's country place was a fine, patriotic event. Mrs. Charles E. Curry and all who participated deserve credit for the success of the undertaking. Mrs. Hoffman, whose home is used for so many Red Cross benefits, seems to en Joy the excitement of the affairs planned at On the Hill Tea Garden. At any rate, she is doing a great patriotic act in giving her home for so many benefits. The inauguration of weighing and measuring babies during children's week at the Liberty Temple deserves more than passing mention. Mrs. A. F. Flegel, who has charge of the weigh ing and measuring for the woman's committee of the Council of National Defense, will carry on that work all over the city. The various parent teacher circles will assist in the differ ent districts. Mrs. Frederick Schilke is chairman for Oregon and is doing the work throughout the state in co-operation with chairmen in each county. Mrs. F. S. Myers, of the Food Admin istration, who was at the head of the demonstrations of baby foods at the Temple, was a missionary in a good cause. Many mothers were given a chance to learn how to feed their little folks by attending the demonstrations. The clinics and lectures were helpful.- In fact, every detail of the week showed that the public appreciates the babes and values the children that their price is above rubies. 1 JV!- J? Jief. jj Old Clothes Made Kew for War's Victims. Exhibit at Tenth and . Wanhlmgton Street Attracts Attention. THE Portland branch of the. Com forts Forwarding Committee- of Christian Scientists has received -assurance that an ample supply of wool yarn has been obtained for all imme diate needs and that knitters are sure of all they can use for the present and for the immediate future. The exhibit of articles of clothing made by the members of this commit tee for French and Belgian refugee children and of knitted garments, espe cially socks for the boys in service is on exhibit at Tenth and Washington streets, where it is attracting much favorable attention. Nearly all the clothing for refugee children on display in this window was made from cast-off clothes of elders, illustrating the value of saving in war time. It also furnishes a fine example of the practical way in which the comforts forwarding work is car ried on. Arrangements are being made whereby the rooms will be kept open one or two evenings each week. Dates will be announced later. - o - The women of the Red Cross unit of the White Temple enjoyed an outing at Laurelhurst Park on Tuesday when Mrs. M. L. Hardwick, the leader of the unit, was honored. As a surprise, the members had assembled, and about 75 greeted Mrs. Hardwick when she ar rived. Mrs. O. P. M. Jamison gave a clever toast and Mrs. E. J. Clinton, readings. Mrs." S. L. Lock wood, in the name of toe members, presented the leader with a handsome casserole. Mrs D. C. Brov.nell. of Seward, Alaska, told of the Red Cross work: in Alaska. Mrs. Brownell was the guest of Mrs. A. P. Mead, who formerly lived in Alaska. The Red Cross unit of the Portland Woman's Research Club and Pythian Sisters will resume work Wednesday at 10 A. M. in the Olds, Wortman & King rooms, fourth floor. The Fourth of July baby, son of a oldier in France, born at the Coe Hos pital on Independence Day, has gone to his home accompanied by his fond mother and Dr. Coe has bookings for fir PSioto eight more successive .cases In the room that she has donated to the Red Cross and' where she cares . for. the maternity cases of soldiers' wives who are needy. Where there Is an exceed ingly small income, this great gift of service helps the family finances won derfully and is much appreciated. .

Patience of French People Is Beyond Words. Miss Anne Morgas Pays Tribute to Vlctlrrfn of Mar. A LETTER from Miss Anne Morgan has been received at National headquarters of the American commit tee for devastated France, describing the emergency work accomplished by the committee in the field in helping the evacuation and relief of the refu gees. Mrs. Robert Treat Piatt 'Is the Portland chairman for the committee. Miss Morgan's letter is dated June 6 and is" as follows: The present situation Is s tense, and the actual struggle so terrific that the changes come almost from hour to hour and tt Is Indeed hard to send the messages back to America that you ought to have. On Saturday Mrs. Dike and I got a spe cial permit to go up to ttlerancourt with laKden to K 'er the few supplies still left there In order to prevent the Army wasting gasoline to bring down material which we didn't really need. It was a wonderful Spring morning everything In full bloom and no sound of shot or shell to mar the harmony of It all. It was only the sadness and desolation that made It so tragic. As we turned back upon the plateau through the fields of wonderful promise, we all realized that never again could we bear to see the place till we could bring with us those who through countless generations had inherited the beauty and tradition of all the land. The next day we both came down to Paris to help Mrs. Schuyler In the office, and also to plan with the Red Cross what could best be done concerning the appeal that had come from the Ministry of War for the chll rsa in Alsace. The Immediate need la the euuipuienL both of material and personnel for a refuge for babies under 5 years of age whose mothers are not willing to evacuate them into France to a place of safety, and who must be cared for there In the valley. There Is. however, more work than that to be done In that region, and we must be ready to send down a small unit of work ers who can speak and understand German and help the women meet the Infinite num ber of hardships that the war has made' Inevitable. All day Monday "we were working at these problems and the war news that morning was disquieting, but Tuesday It was all only too definite, and rushed back to Vic. Every Inch of the road was full of convoys, and It was only too evident that the offensive was on In earnest and mak ing desperate progress. The next morning the Mayor had not yet received orders to evacuate Vic. but neither he nor the Major de Zone could get any word through to Chateau-Thierry, but they decided to pro vide camions that afternoon for a certain number of the people who said they wished to leave. I went down the next morning to help In the evacuation which would soon be neces sary. The- road was a moving mass of refugees, crowded Into every imaginable ve hicle, m-lth cows, horses, sheep and pigs, to gether with two steady lines of military con voys, one going up and one down. The pic ture was unforgettable, particularly when you realize that many of these people were being evacuated for the third time. That night, of course, no one went to bed. First we had to get 6ff the Red Cross camions with a load of HI refugees to Plerrefond, then we had to send our own motor down to Coyolles to be ready to evacuate the children at a moment's notice. The com mandant there asked us to return the next day to take some of the rest of his people as he had no camion service at his dis posal. . In the early morning about day light we sent another camlonette to Join the others at Coyolles and evacuate the chil dren at once. All day Thursday we were busy evacunt Ing. and we were enchanted to have Dr. Tallant arrive that afternoon to help Dr. Kelly with the sick. In the afternoon, how ever, the commandant told us we must leave. We were desperately anxious to leave a small nucleus of our unit, but he would not permit It. and we all moved on to Coy olles; the Germans reached Fontenoy the next day. That same day we saw a boche avion bring down & sauclsse close to us: It was a sickening sight to see the balloon burst Into flsme.- and above all to see the boche escape, but the observer landed with his parachute in perfect safety. . That night at Coyolles was peaceful, our proprietor, the Mayor, had evacuated the entire village, leaving only a few sick for us to move, and the next morning we took these for him to Join the rest. That same day we arranged for an American section under young Josh Campbell to evacuate the hospital at Villers-C'otterets, which under fhe Sisters of Saint Vincent de Paul had been treating all the III cases for us so wonderfully ever since the March offensive. Friday night was a big strain; we had been running a roadside canteen all day with supplies that we had secured from the Red Cross at Compiegne, as there were hun dreds of soldiers on the road that needed the help of a cup of chocolate and a cigar ette most desperately. That night the oer mana were near the other side of the forest of Vlllers-Cotterets and the pulsating pink light from the avlons thrown Into ttie sky carried a number of miles and was mar velous In Its beauty. The next morning we all went off to fetch more canteen supplies and arranged for another rendezvous in case It should seem wise during the day to leave Coyolles. This Mrs. Dike did about 1 o'clock, and by 5 we all met at Felgneux and arranged for a dispensary and opened another roadside canteen. Saturday night there were more enemy airplanes, but the days were quiet and we have all been living In a most amusing way at a big farm. The motor drivers sleep In their cars until the airplanes come, then tbey go down to the cellar. Mrs. Dike left me and went back yester day to start canteens and a small hospital and dispensaries between Llsy and Ferte. where they need help very much. We are working heart and soul with the American Red Cross, which Is helping us in every way with supplies. The great crux Is transportation, so we are spending some more money In cars, ex pensive as they are. . Now our chief aim must be the bringing of our people lnlo agricultural colonies on farms in the In terior till the Aisne la once more liberated. How I wish 1 could give you a picture of how wonderful the spirit is of all these people. Their courage, their boundless faith and their patience are beyond words. At such a moment we have an Infinite oppor tunity, for we are In the Held and we find military work and civilian work must be met together. At Montmirall. where Miss Peyton and Mile. Mcunler went from Chateau-Thierry, they had American as well as French wounded, and there wss much to be done. Forejlve such a long letter, but I am here alone, and It Is a splendid way to spend one's time .during a noisy avion raid when one cannot nleep. . Plrase note that wherever the colony ot children Is located the teachers are always with them, and their Instruction continues uninterrupted. The committee realizes the necessity of Instruction In both manual and mental training, as the children from tho invaded regions have been without educa tion for three years. A special plea - on behalf of this part of our work is mao.o. Eat More Cottage Cheestf Is Advise of Expert.'" Mrs. Hallle Davis to Deliver Series, of Lectures Here. ONE lound . of cottage -cheese Is equal to a pound of meat. Nay. a pound of cottage cheese is far better, especially for growing children because it contains many times more lime than does the meat. Mrs. Hallle K. Davis, representing the U. &. Department of Agriculture, has come West to encourage the housewives to use and appreciate cot tage cheese. Why? Because .if the housewives don't use it there will be no Incentive for the dairies to make it. And. Mrs. Davis tells us, .there are 30.0U0.000, 000 pounds of surplus skimmed milk In the United States. Some of this is fed to pigs and some goes down the sewers. It is. to con serve this skimmed milk for human use that the department, working through the Oregon Agricultural Col lege in this Btate, is starting an edu cational campaign. Milk for its value as a food is very cheap, Mrs. Davis de clares. The dealers are losing money on it, so why throw away anything that can be used. Why not create a demand for cottage cheese? "The hogs can't have it all," says Mrs. Davis. And she speaks for the Department of Agriculture and is backed by the Food Administration. On Monday at 3 o'clock there will be a special meeting of the Caterers' Asso ciation at the Portland Hotel to confer with Mrs. Davis regarding the use of cottage cheese. At 3 o'clock on Wednesday and Fri day mass meetings will be held In the Meier & Frank auditorium to hear the ways for using cottage cheese dis cussed. Mrs. Davis Is a forceful speaker. She Is enthusiastic about her subject and everyone who hears' her Is impressed. Meetings for discussing this and kin dred subjects will be arranged by Pro fessor E. B. Fitts and Miss Alice Joyce of Oregon, Agricultural College. At the Meier & Frank meetings printed recipes will be distributed free to all who attend. Mrs. Davis says that if the people don't use more milk they will be committing a grave error as by dlmjnlshlng the amount of milk used malnutrition is a result. Let the dairies go to pieces and you'll have a "rickety" nation, she declares. Cottage cheese can be made very cheap and will be If the housewives de mand it. If it takes 250 people four hours to sort and dry 20 sacks of sphagnum moss, can you realize how many work ers are needed in this line of service?

It is not all work for the berry picking detachment of the Portland Grade Teachers' Association stationed at Gervais. Muoh pleasurable recrea tion also is available. Sunday, July 14, was a gala day, the occasion being a picnic excursion to Silver Creek Falls, one of the beauty spots of the state and one whose accessibility and gran deur should make it familiar to all nature-loving motorists. , Through the courtesy of Sam Brown, their employer, who outfitted a large motor truck with benches and drove it himself, the teachers made the 60-mile trip in ease and comfort. Silver Creek makes a succession of falls of most unusual loveliness and the surround ings are fresh and unspoiled in their vernal beauty. The party went well provisioned and ate both lunch and dinner in these charming surroundings, returning in the early evening by way of Sllverton and Mount Angel. The week has been one of continuous picking, the berries ripening rapidly in the heat. The teachers have stood the work splendidly, most of them having gained in weight and physical endur ance, and it is credited to them that cleaner picking and better working conditions have obtained here than ever before. Transportation of Salvage Important Problem. Sleeting Tuesday of Chiefs of Divi sions Will Be Held nt Bnreau Head quarters, Third and Oak. Streets. I ON TUESDAY afternoon a large meeting of chiefs of the divisions will be held at the Salvage Bureau headquarters. Third and Oak streets. The purpose of the meeting Is to ar range for transportation of salvage. It has been found in many Instances the collection of some small articles costs more than their value. In order to remedy this situation the divisional chief will undertake a cam paign of education in the district to show residents why they should en deavor to get their own donations to their district stations or to headquar ters. The chief of the division will in spect loads of salvage collected at each local station before telephoning to headquarters for the truck, to be cer tain that nothing leas than a truck load is sent out. rnmm Edward McKey, New York's famous portrait painter, is finding that sleep ins on boards In a rest bouse may be as conducive to comfort as on a lux urious bed, especially if one has been supplying Italian troops with hot cof fee, bread.

The Oregon Association for the Pre vention of Tuberculosis believes in the Modern .Health Crusaders, a society made up of 500.000 children who have agreed to try to keep the crusaders' health rules.' to do nothing that may hurt the health, of any other person, and to help keep home and town clean. The health rules these children sub scribe to are: . 1. Always breathe fresh air. Never sleep, atudy. work nor play In a room with out a window open. Take ten deep breaths of outdoor air every day. 2. Eat wholesome food. Including; fruit and vegetables, and chew It thoroughly. Drink plenty of pure water and use your own cup. Avoid food that Is hard to digest, like heavy pie and cake and much candy. Never eat nor drink anything that weakens the body, like alcoholic drinks. S. Make sure that everything you put In your mouth la clean. Wash your hands always before eating and before handling food and bathe your whole body at least once a week. Clean your teeth every day. Have a regular time every day for attend ing to each need of your body. 4. Exercise every day In the open air. Stand up and sit up straight. Do not smoke before you are grown up. i 0. Oet a long night's sleep. Get up smll" lag. Keep your mind, clean and cheerful. These rules are reduced to eight health chores, and record, blanks "are provided aor keeping score each day for a perTod of six weeks. A total of 6 credits can be scored, but the child who has a score of 50 chores faith fully performed woul4 "pass with honors." The Modern Health Crusader more n.ent originated with the National Tuberculosis Association and has been de eloped by Charles M. De Forest, Ciusadei executive. Mr. DeForest has Just notified the state secretaries that the Junior Red Cross has endorsed the .Modern Health Crusader as a means of promoting health among and through children. The Junior Red Cross- will assist In the development of the crusade both by the distribution of literature prepared by - the National Tuberculosis Asso ciation and by announcements In Red Cross publications and by correspond ence. The primary object of the Junior Red Cross as stated by President Wil son, is to teach children to be the fu ture good citlxens of this country and the Junior organisation is bringing Into the schools an emphasis on serv ice It thus represents a force In har mony with the purpose of the Modern Health Crusade, both to build up the health of children and to enlist them in public health work. The Junior Red Cross gives children a timely pa triotic motive for health work Just as truly as for making articles for sol diers. One of the most Important services of the Modern Health Crusade Is to lead the scnools to adopt Its practical methods of teaching health habits as a regular part of their work.
