Mothers and sweethearts msy have
g'jod grounds for f ik that their
toys may not return from Franco,
or at least come back unencumbered,
If the stories of their reception by
the French people are true. France
seems to have received the Yankees
vlth open arms, and classes every
mother's son In tho United States
uniform as a hero.
As an Illustration of tills hero wor
chip on the part of the French peo-
p'e for the Yankee soldiers, David
W. Hazen, the special correspondent
for the Portland Telegram, who is
with the Oregon boys In France, tells
in the Portland Telegram of
the ovation given to the Ameri
cans at the celebration on Castile
day, July 14:
The grand parade and the dedica
tion of the Pont Wilson, the beaut!
ful new white bridge named In honor
of the American president, took place
in the forenoon of July 14. The
'Yankees led the parade. The com
panies were In column fours, two
companies abreast; the Oregon
"route steppers" formed one of the
advance companies. Every man look
ed as If he had Just come out of a
band-box, and every enlisted man In
the Beaver company was smooth
thaven with the exception of Ser
fccant C. II. Henrys, former city en
gineer of Seaside, who wore the stuli
by, brick colored mustache ho
brought to France.
A yell went up the instant the
crowd caught sight of the olive drab.
Men shouted and women applauded,
waved handkerchiefs and threw flow
ers; along many of the streets the
Yankees marched over almost solid
carpets of roses, while hundreds of
bouquets were thrown from upper
Ktory windows. One could easily Im
agine it was Lyons' own favorite reg
iment come home from victorious
wars. A tiny tot not more than 1
years old at most ran out In the
street with a shower of roses bigger
than hereelf; she tried to give them
to the lieutenant colonel, but could
not catch him, so handed it to one

Dut with all this whoop and hur-

foimd wanting to give flowers and
smiles, with airplanes looping right
overhead, the thousand Yankees
marched as though on their own pa

They marched with fixed bayonets,

OYSTERS AND CRABS IN' SEASON,
James Barrett, Prop. Phone 188,
Iyons physician, his wife and three
blighters told the Portlander that It
was the finest military exhibition
they had ever seen.
When the Yankees crossed the
Pont Wilson they were led by the
I rigadier general commanding this
c'lvislon. And here also the lines
were as exact as though laid out by
n civil engineer. But on the other
?lde of the bridge the crowds were
ho dense that the men had to marcl
through In columns of twos. Here
t'ipy were so showered with flowers
that each man looked like Fred V.
Hotmail's rose garden marching up
the street.
But the great test of American mil
itary training came at the review.
The men were lined up and ordered
tc "present arms." Then a squadron
or airplanes began cutting up capers
'ilrectly overhead; the aviators drop
ped flowers, then did all sorts of
fancy sky steps. But those darned
Yanks Just stood there, every man's
eyes looking straight ahead; not once
did a man glance up to see what was
Colng on above them; not once did
one of them look to the side to see If
h!s partner was standing straight.
And they Btood this way for fully
15 minutes while the Croix de Guerre
as being pinned on the tunics of
numerous French heroes.
The French officers were simply
dumbfounded. The officers of other
nations who were present could not
understand It, either. But It did not
rurprlse the American officers, for
Ley know exactly what their boys
will do.
It's all the same to Buddie, parade
('round or battlefield; where he Is
supposed to stand at attention, he
i kinds there like a post; when jt 13
time to fight, he, to use his own
term, "fights like hell."
And then they were given liberty.
Well, say, there were British and
Italian and French soldiers also in
tr.e parade, but it seemed that every
girl In Lyons had her heart set on
capturing a Yankee. There was an
vncven ratio of about 100 to 1. This
liberty extended from noon on Stfli
day until 11 o'clock Monday fore

New Wheat Rul
n
Are EBads Liberal'
-Mnio.t a wholesale rescinding anii
aii'cndlng of wlieat regulations has
been made by the 1'nlted States food
administration, following the returu
of Herbert C. Hoover from London
v here he was in conference with food
officials of . England, France atd
Italy. Tho 50-50 basis for the pur
chase of wlieat has been changed
to a 20-SO basis, that Is, 20 per cent
i.uhstitute to SO per cent wheat flour.
Mills of tho country are requested
to turn out a supply of ready mixed
flour, thus eliminating the necessity
of the retailers baking combination
sales of flour and substitutes. This
regulation mixture is to be labeled
Victory flour and tho proportions of
Ingredients will be signified.
"The new regulations affect the
householder, retailer, wholesaler and
millers alike and should be carefully
studied," said W. B. Ayer in explain
ing the changes.
"No bread, pfe crust, cake or any
other edible In which wheat flour 13
used must be mixed or baked with
out the required portion of substi
tute flour or meal. A strict observ
hnce of the regulation is expected in
all households."
The complete statement as receiv
ed from Mr. Hoover, follows:
"The recent careful survey of the
food administrators of the United
Plates, France, England and Italy of
tne food resources of the 220,000,
000 people fighting against Germany
shows that to maintain enough sup
plies and necessary reserves against
disaster there must be maintained
In all countries a conservation of
wlieat flour during the coming year
U has been agreed that the wheat
bread of allies shall contain 20 per
cent other grains than wheat, and It
is'only just that we should bear our
shnre In this saving and our bread
should be at least universal witn
those who are suffering more greatly
from the war than ourselves.
"Distribution and transportation
circumstances In tho United States
ipnder It necessary to rely very large
ly on volunteer action In our homes
to enforce this mixture. The Victory
bread so made Is wholesome and
there Is no difficulty In preparation.
Learn to Get Along Without Sugar
It has been done before. A hundred years ago re-,
lined sugar was unknown. Our ancestors used honey and
you can use honey also. Besides there are syrups. Th$
natural sugars of fruits will serve today as they did cen
turies ago. You will get all the sugar you need in this
way. The Allies do it now. England, which before the
war used more sugar than we did, has but two pounds
per head a month now ; France one and a half pounds,
and Italy only one. Show yourself a patriotic American
and use less than your ration. This i3 but a slight sacri
fice as compared with all that the Allies are doing. Do it
yourself.

We desire to emphasize the fact that
the mixtures outlined below are for
v heat bread and the saving of wheat
flour, but they are not Intended to
displace the large use of corn bread.
V'e must use the mixture with wlieat
flour in addition to our normal con
sumption or corn bread.

"Third, requiring that all bakers

tration relies upon the householders
of the country to mix at least 20 per

"The new regulations supersede
the 50-50 rule.
j "The retail dealer selling standard
I wheat flour is required to carry in
siock, either barley flour, corn meal
or corn flour and with every salo of
wheat flour must sell a combination
of tome one or mere of these in the
proportion of one pound of substi
t'lte to four pounds of flour.
"No dealer may force any other
substitutes in combination upon the
consumer and the substitution must
conform to the standards fixed by the
l'"ited States food administration
There are some localities where oth
er substitutes are available and
which retailers may wish to carry.
In order to meet this situation the
following flours may also be sold in
f-uch combinations In lieu of the
r.iove flours If the consumer so de
mands at the ratio of one pound to
tacli four pounds of wheat flour:
Kaffir flour, Milo flour, Feterita
flour and meals, rice flour, out flour,
sweet potato flour and buckwheat
flour.
"Pure rye flour or meal may be
sold as a substitute but must be sold
in proportion of at least two pounds
of rye with three pounds of wheat
flour.
"In compliance with the general
fituation above, the following alter
ations are made In rules and regula
tions governing the baking trade:
"Rule 1-A. The consumption of
'Wieat flour In baking products not
to exceed 70 per cent of tho 1917
consumption Is hereby rescinded.
"Rule 2-A. Wheat flour substi
tues for bakers remain as heretofore
with the exception of rye, which will
be a substitute when used upon a
ba."ls of not less than 40 per cent
which is two pounds of rye flour to
nery three pounds of standard wheat
flour. When rye is used In this pro
lortlon or a greater proportion no
ether substitutes are required. If
less than this proportion of rye flour
is used the difference between such
amount used and 40 per cent must be
made up of other substitutes.
"Rule 6-A. Bakers will be requir
ed to use one pound of substitute to
each four pounds of wheat flour in
all bakery products. Including bread,
except class 3-A crackers, in which
only 10 per cent substitutes other
than rye are required.
"The use of the name Victory will
be allowed in all products contain
ing the above proportions of substi
tutes. "Tho previous rules, including
licensed millers, wholesalers, retail
ers and bakers to carry a 30 days'
sunply of flour will be changed to
permit a CO days' supply.
"The rules limiting sales by retall-3-s
of wheat flour to an eighth bar

me. cortan killed
BY EKJENE HUXTi'Il
C. D. Rorer, Saturday .evening,
while hunting on tho upper Siuslaw,
had what he refers to as the thrill of
a life time, when he killed a cougar,
firing for the first time at a distance
if 35 years, says the Eugene Guard.
Rorer first noticed the animal com
ing from behind him at a distance
of about 50 yards. It was moving
in his direction and paralleling the
track over which Rorer had walked
in climbing to the top of a ridge,
where he was hunting deer.
Mr. Rorer and John Dogart, well
known farmer of the Wlllakenzie dis
trict, had been hunting during the
day In the region between the Clay
Owen and the Bill Hawley places, on
'.he upper Siuslaw. They had an
early supper, after which Rorer de
cided to hunt on a ridge about a milo
.'rom the camp. Ho took his gun
and started out alone. His attention
was attracted by a noise In the brush.
A few minutes later the cougar mov
ed into the open. Rorer fired a
shot which struck the animal In th
shoulder, but It made away Into thu
brush. He fired a second shot and
missed. ' The animal by that time had
disappeared from sight. Rorer re
turned to the camp and secured the
assistance of Bogart and a fox ter
rier and an airdale dog. It was only
a short time until the cougar was
located and treed. Rorer directed
the shot that brought the animal
crashing down from the tree top.
