ffyjELP WANTED." 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.

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.

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.

Sisters will resume work Wednesday

room that she has donated to the Red
Cross and' where she cares . for. the

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?

Portland Berry Pickers Are
Having Good Time.
Grade Teachers at Gervals Enjoy
Picnic at Silver Creek Falls.
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.

Edward McKey, New York's famous

as conducive to comfort as on a lux
