This has been decided by the Portland housing committee after careful consideration of existing con ditions, according to announcement yes terday by Mayor Baker, leader in the "more homes campaign.

The recent report to the city by Charles Cheney, hausing consultant, who has been conducting an extensive survey of housing; and playground conditions here. Is believed to have had an effect in determining; the con tinuance of the war programme.

These houses are to cost be- een 1:000 awl ijoow ana to rent at i about K5. "The home' building organisation was formed at the request of, and in co-operation with, the Government, said Mayor Baker, "and the purpose was to provide suitable housing -for workers engaged in war work. While it might seem that the sudden termin ation of the war might halt the pro gramme, study of conditions leads to a different conclusion. Skip PresTvaataae Modified The wooden shipbuilding programme will be modified or private parties will provide ample work for these plants, it Is now assured. Portland Is now short about 3000 homes and this con dition has necessitated the occupancy of undesirable places and has driven large numbers of people from the city. "If Portland fails to provide for her workers, they will go elsewhere. Growing Industrial establishments will aid in continuing the present enlarged population and it behooves the city from every angle to go. ahead with its housing programme.' The housing committee co-operating with the Government will aid builders In making plans, engaging helpi ob tainlng materials and obtaining loans.

Miss Shirley Eastham, to Lieutenant Alfred Millard. Jr.. in fantry, U. S. A. The news Is more than ordinarily Interesting, because both young people are in France, the former being a member of the first Woman's Overseas Hospital Unit to be sent abroad. They sailed in February and have seen active service ever since. At on time the hut was right behind the front line trenches and the women have had many thrillinar experiences. Miss Eastham has also been on duty in several hospitals that were bombed, and for some time tack she has been in the Chateau d Ognon. near Senlis. while her fiance has been in the first- line 'trenches with his regiment. He. recently was severely wounded in the arm. during an engagement, and he is in a hospital In Paris, where Miss East ham passed her holidays last month. As soon as Mr. Millard recovers suf ficiently from his wound, the young folk will be married in Paris, and they expect to be able to return shortly after to this country. Miss Eastham is one of the most popular maids in Portland society, as well as being one of the most interest ing and clever. After she had com pleted her earlier education at the Port land Academy she attended Miss Full er's School in Ossinglng on the Hndson, N. T. After her graduation from that establishment, she went abroad and en tered school in Florence, Italy, where she took up the study of languages. Miss Eastham also spent some time in Paris studying, making several trips abroad. She has two brothers In serv ice, Gerald and Edward, and her sister. Miss Helen Eastham, is also a devoted war worker. The trlde-to-be always has devoted a great deal of her time to study and de velopment, and as soon as the oppor tunity presented itself she took the I special nurse's course at one of the hos pitals in this city, later going to New I Tork to take a more Intensive training I In nursing and laboratory work. She is the youngest member of the unit to which she is attached, and she also is a great favorite with the members of I the hospital staff as well as the nurses. Lieutenant Millard Is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred MHlard, of New Tork. He made his home in Hood River for a number of years,'. where he has exten sive fruit orchards. He is a graduate or Cornell, and during his residence in Hood River he made frequent visits to Portland where he was very popular socially. He received his commission at the training school in Plattsburg, N. Y-. and sailed with his regiment for I overseas in May. The engagement has been known to I the oiose friends of the couple, as well as to Miss Eastham's relatives, but owing to the regulations of the Gov ernment concerning engagements and marriages of nurses while in service, the announcement was withheld until the armistice was signed. A happy coincidence was the arrival I of Mr. Millard's brother In Paris at the I same time that Miss Eastham was hav ing her holidays, so that the trio had many pleasant visits together. Mr. Mil- I lard's brother, Hugh Millard, was for merly an ambulance driver in the American Red Cross, and also was made Intelligence officer, stationed in London, so that he was a"ble to secure leave and visit his brother In Paris. but the boys are still "over there Every father and mother who has a boy in the Service, or younger children at home, should know these facts about sugar and candy.

Doctors have long known, and Welfare Workers in France report that men lose their craving for alcohol when they can get plenty of candy. Candy and alcohol, the food expert tells us, have much in' common, but candy supplies real energy instead of a deceptive feeling of energy. The boys havo needed energy and will need it until their great work " over there ' is finally, done. We can at least speak for Lowney's Chocolates. This is how they are made and shipped. Each of the 36 pieces in the "Over seas" box is wrapped in tinfoil an assortment made up of 2 i different kinds of chocolates. The chocolates are then packed in a metal box and tightly sealed against the air. This trick was learned in the days when Lowney supplied "just right" chocolates ' to our soldiers in the Phillipines and to the United States fleet that sailed around the world. THAT'S what you might call the sweet' side of Uncle Sam's war machinery. The Government orders Lowney's Chocolates in the Overseas Package to be delivered to the Quartermaster General. They are then sold at cost through the army canteen. By way of answer, we quote from a letter written to Th W. M. Lowney Company by Captain N of one of the Base Hospitals. He writes: "Your chocolates are giving great pleasure to many a wounded boy over here in France." He then goes on to speak of their perfect condition "apparently as good as ths day they were made." No, and you won't until the last boy comes marching home The Lowney Company's whole effort is first to supply the needs of the Army and Navy you mothers, sisters and best girls, can only have what's left. No, you can't have any of these "Over seas" packages for yourself. They are exclusively for the boys In service. For their sake, then, we feel sure you will willingly cut down on candy just as long as the boys continue to need it more, than you do. - THE WALTER M.
