MOKE than a billion dollars of lib
erty bonds were sold by women
In the last campaign.
Now. before we realise It. the fourth
liberty loan will be here and the women '
of Oregon will be called upon to do
their part. The committees are lined
up and the names of women who are
good workers are card-indexed. Har
mony prevails and patriotism is the
first consideration.
Mrs. Vincent Cook Is chosen city
chairman for the fourth loan and will
be assisted by an able board, among
whose members will be Mrs. Dallas
Bache, Mrs. William U. Wood. Mrs.
Iaura Cavers-Brogden. Mrs. Harold
Sawyer. Mrs. Alice Benson Beach, Mrs.
Kelly Rees, Mrs. Isaac Swett, Mrs. Holt
Wilson. Mrs. D. A. Shindler, Mrs. With
row. Mrs. Elliott Corbett. Mrs. Fred
erick EBBert. Mrs. Donald Spencer,
Mrs. C. B. Simmons and Mrs. E. H. Mc
Collister. Mrs. H. B. CartlldBe Is Oregon City
chairman, Mrs. W. W. Calkins is vice-
chairman for Southern Oregon and
Mrs. G. T. Cochran, for Eastern Oregon.
Mrs. Sarah A. Evans is state chair
man. She returned recently from Chi
cago, where she attended the meeting
of the women's committee chairmen of
ail the states.
The Federal reserve banks in 12
districts were consulted and all con
sented to put women on their commit
tees. It was found that a notable fea
ture of the third loan was the fact that
the women sold a large amount of
bonds at a very email expense.
Preparations for the coming liberty
loan campaign will not In any way stoD
the wheels of progress In other patri
otic work. The woman's committee of
the Council of Defense at their head
quarters, sixth"-floor, Meier & Frank
building, will continue to register
nurses. Young women between the
ages of 19 and 33 who wish to be of
great eervice to humanity are regis
tering to train to be regular nurses.
Some of Portland's most prominent
girls have taken the step and others
are considering It seriously.
In the League for Woman's Service,
activities go on that prove the effi
ciency of the organization. The women,
headed by Sirs. C. B. Simmons, did a
great work Tuesday at the Oaks when
over 500 served thousands of visitors,
and all the money went to the Red
Cross.
The women of the league also are
busy getting rooms for the U. A. It-
ln addition they have been registering
girls to train as motor drivers and
mechanics. Now. also, they are work
ing In the Kanning Kitchen and In
ever so many lines that are all for the
one cause, helping to do their part
toward winning the war.
The P. E. O. Sisterhood will keep
right on making the aviator jackets,
which are formed from the kid gloves
deposited in the barrels outside the
larger stores and at the hotels. Mrs.
A. M. Gray is chairman of this work.
She has the assistance of a large num
ber of loyal women. The sisterhood is
famed for its efficient work and for
the social service and charitable ac
tivities that have claimed its interest
In the past and now it is doing its
hare of the work of the day.

the onlr two remaining- walls of her dwell
ing. Over the top of this place she placed
planks. One side was open to the weather.
The cold, raw weather made it difficult to
exist in such a place. I myself have lived
in a little wooden building near the front,
similar to the barracks in which the soldiers
live, and 1 know the cruel "Winter weather
of these parts of Krance.
The hardship has been greatest on. th
little children. Oh, the poor children! They
no longer play. They have forgotten all
their games. They do not know what it
means to run and laugh and be gay. As
they walk along the streets you will see
them start suddenly and look over their
shoulders in a frightened way, so great has
been the terror instilled Into them by the
Germans.
It is to relieve such conditions the
committee is working and the Countess
will speak in their behalf. Following

T a concert in Ocean Grove. N. J.,
Enrico Caruso, billed as "the
world's famous tenor," sang recently
before an audience of 12,000 people,
and won a big triumph. Many of his
solos were gems from grand opera.
But if is stated that the song with
which Caruso made the biggest hit
was George M. Cohan's patriotic con
tribution, "Over There," sung first by
Caruso in Italian, and then, for an en
core, in. English. Caruso's supporting
artistes were: Carolina White, soprano,
and Winston Wilkinson, violinist.
In the New York Musical Courier of

and astonishing array of medals, the
most notable of which were the Bee

Philharmonic Society of London, and
the title of "Chevalier of the Legion
d'Honneur," a rare distinction con
ferred upon him by the French gov
ernment in 1913. To hear this su

liege. Pablo Casals, however, is only
one of a list of ten great artists who

fied dates of Ignace Paderewski, the
pianist, in the West Indies and Cen
tral and outh America, has brought
suit for $50,000 for breach of con
tract. It is asserted that Paderewski

sympathetic effect the solo, "He Shall

Id Lamont, 15 years old, at present
soprano soloist in St. Mark's Episcopal
Church choir, was loaned to Trinity

with beautifully clear voice the so
prano aria of that solo. His manage

best boy soloists in this city, and his
singing reminds one of the admirable
work done by other boy sopranos In
