THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, POItTXAXD, OCTOBER G, 191S. t
i
m
LITTLE has been said of the work
of the Red Cross canteen service
in Portland, for the reason that the
War Department does not choose to
advertise its troop movements. At an
unsuspected hour of the day or night
there comes a call to report for duty,
and the blue-garmented volunteers
march down to the station, wholly un
aware what troop-train they are to
minister to, or .how many shouting,
laughing Berlin-bound soldiers are 0:1
board.
But a glance at the records of the
Portland Red Cross canteen, as com
piled by Mrs. Ferdinand E. Reed, cap
tain of the unit, demonstrates that it
Tias been unusually active since the day
of its organization, on August 12, 1918.
Here are a few of the figures:
Troops served by the canteen 8593
soldiers of all branches 231 sailors,
223 marines, 4730 men of the selective
draft. Distributed o the soldiers and
tailors who have passed through Port
land in but little more than one month,
20,875 cigarettes, 13,563 postcards bear
ing views of the city and vicinity, 168
chocolate bars, 150 pounds of candy,
two cases of matches, 1400 magazines,
S5 boxes of pears, apples and other
fruit. 45 baskets of fruit, 5142 2-cent
stamps, 673 3-cent stamps. In addition
to this must be reckoned the hundreds
of divers errands and matters in which
the canteen workers have acted as ad
visors and aides to the men in uni
form. Officers of the Red Cross canteen are
Mrs. Ferdinand E. Reed, captain; Mrs.
E. N. Howe and Mrs. R. S. Stearns,
lieutenants. The personnel numbers 56
women, divided into squads of 14 for
day and night duty. Hours are from
9 in the morning until 11 at night.
The canteen workers frequently are
assisted by the Multnomah Guard Band,
which gives concerts for the passing
troopers. Regular drill Is held each
Friday night, in military formation.
That the soldiers are far from unap
preciative and that they are touched
deeply by the kindly attentions shown
them is attested by scores of letters
and postcards received by Captain Reed
from officers and men alike, thanking
the canteen for breaking the monotony
of their Journey with. a. touch of the
"home folks" spirit.
At the regular business meeting of
the war auxiliaries central committee
last week a request was presented by
& representative of the draft board
asking the committee for the use of
room 520, Courthouse, which has been
used as headquarters for the war auxil
iariee of the city. The room being
urgently needed by the draft board,
the committee voted to find another
meeting place and sent a letter to the
County Commissioners releasing the
room.
The following dates were granted for
dances: November 2 to the auxiliary
to Company II, 162d Infantry, for a
dance at the Armory, and November 2
to the Grade Teachers" Association for
a dance for soldiers and sailors at the
Lincoln High School. Attention was
directed to the fact that all organiza
tions giving entertainments for the
benefit of war funds are required to
comply with an ordinance passed by the
Portland City Council, July 3. Under
the terms of this ordinance it is un
lawful to solicit gifts of money or mer
chandise or to sell tickets for any bene
fit or entertainment in aid of war funds
or for any other patriotic purpose,
without first securing a permit from
the City Auditor. Violation of the or
dinance is punishable by a fine of not
more than $200 or by imprisonment for
not more than 50 days or both. Appli
cations for such permits on the part of
organizations officially recognized by
the Government are required to be pre
sented to the co-ordination committee
of the State Council of Defense. All
other applications are passed on by the
war auxiliaries' central committee.
The committee meets every Monday
afternoon in room 416, Spaulding build
ing, and makes bandages while holding
.the regular business meeting.
Players' Houses Erected at
Army Cantonments.
Accommodations Made for Reception
of Uomcn Actors.

after this at the players' houses which
have just been built by the housing
committee of the War Work. Council
f the Toung Women's Christian Asso
ciation, of which Mrs. John D. Rocke
feller, Jr., is chairman.
The camps are far from cities and the
difficulty of getting in town after a
strenuous day of one rehearsal and
two or three performances caused Ray
mond B. Fosdick. chairman of the War
Department commission on . training
camp activities, to ask the Y. W. C. A.
to build houses at the two camps for
actresses.
Each "Players House" will accom
modate 30 women. Each has a large
living-room on the first floor, where
the actresses may rest between per

evening in the gray parlors of Mult

charge of the meetings.
All France is learning English and
the T. W. C. A. Is doing much of the
teaching. Wherever the Y. W. C. A.
has established clubhouses in France
there are classes in English, elemen
tary and advanced. One Y. W. C." A.
teacher writes of the work: "French
girls feel that when they have learned
English they will have the indepen
dence and freedom of American girls..
So they go to their classes despite heat,
cold, rain, or weariness, after a long
day's work."
The course of lectures on "Why We
Are at War," given at Library Hall
during the past two week by Dr.
Harry Huntington Powers, of Boston,
were most successful and interesting.
They were arranged by the National
League for Woman' Service, through
the educational department of the Uni
versity of Oregon, and they had the
patronage of all the prominent men
and women of the city.
Dr. Powers has two sons In service

The employment committee, Mrs. C.
D. Brunn, chairman, held Its regular
monthly meeting on Tuesday. The sec
retary's report showed that 290 posi
tions have been filled by the office

ple have been interviewed. More office
positions have been listed during the
past month than any other month dur
ing the year. Several women have been
placed in permanent positions formerly
held by men, such as in the sash and
door factory, electrical works, soda dis
pensaries, janitress work and various
types of factory work. Applicants are
met between the hours of 9 and 4, except
Saturdays, when the offices closes at 1
o'clock. The secretary is unable to fill

conditions and mapping out work, for

the new problems that have arisen in
the employment situation.

was used in the Y. W. C. A. building.

was a very ordinary day, this may give
some Idea of the scope of work done by
the association. The same day the lunch
department reported having served 690.
The boarding department has been com
pelled to refer many girls to other
places, but has accommodated 720 this
week.
REGULAR COURSE DELAYED
War Emergency Curriculum Taken
Tp at Xormal School.
OREGON NORMAL. SCHOOL, Mon
mouth, Or., Oct. 5. (Special.) On ac
count of the war conditions which make
the attendance at the school very small,
and the demand for trained teacher
very large, the regular course of study
will not be given at all this year, but in
its place will be the war emergency
course and certificate. Instead of the
requirement of a high school diploma,
only two years of high school work
will be required, but no student Is al
lowed to receive a teacher's certificate
until 18 years of age.
The remainder of the year has been
divided into three terms of 20 weeks,
commencing November 16, February 8
1919, and April 12, 1919. Upon the com
pletion of this short teacher training
course a war emergency teachers' cer
tificate will be issuedr valid for only
one year and unrenewable. Further
pettnit to teach Is provided by examin
ation, or by coming back to the school
and taking more work.
The scarcity of teachers throughout
the whole state has become a serious
question, and the demands made upon
the normal school are far above what
can be supplied. To remedy this con
dition as much as possible the school
has adopted a new plan, whereby teach
ers may be trained and sent out to the
schools in a short time.

SPECIAL CONCERT TO MARK
DEDICATION OF NEW ORGAN
Majestic Theater Instrument' Declared One of Most Elaborate Products
of Wurlitzer Company in Northwest.

THE marniflcent new Majestic The
ater or lean, a hose Wurlltser Hope
Jones unit orchestral instrument,
will be dedicated at 12:30 o'clock today
with & concert by Wendell O'Day.
Mr. O'Day, a popular San Francisco
organist, whom J. J. Parker secured tor
his new organ through the offices o
the Wurlltxer Company, refused a New
York engagement to preside over the
Majestic Instrument. He has been in
Portland for more than a month, super
vising" the completion of installation
of an organ which is pronounced one
of the best products of the Wurlitzer
Company, noted for Its success in mak
ing instruments for the musical inter
pretation of photoplays.
The new organ is of special con
struction, the ordec for it having been
placed more than a year ago.
Realizing that the complete success
of such an Instrument depends largely
on the manner in which it is adapted
to the building In which it is installed,
the Majestic Amusement Company en
paired the services of O. H. .Leatherby.
of New York, Nationally known expert
on the subject of acoustics and pound
vibration, for consultation on these
subjects before the big organ was even
designed. ,
In the Spring of 1917 Mr. Leatherby
pent a five-weeks visit In Portland,
practically the whole of which period
was devoted to the study, by all known
methods, of every question relative to
the sound properties of the Majestic
Theater. Countless measurements were
taken, listening tests made, etc., and on
the strength of Mr. Leatherby's recom
mendations a special instrument was
finally designed to meet the conditions.
The result, combined with slight
changes recommended by him In the
fore part of the building itself, consti
tutes what is said to be the ultimate
'attainment of scientific sound modula
tion. .
