Tor tho first time In its history, the iuwiif ngrne association win navo -tn . . ... . ' reruse to Dandle rases unless it se cures additional funds. Last summer, owlnjr to lack of financial support. th .association was obliged to dis pense with the servfreiTof two of Its rurses. reducing Us force to six visit ing nurses. As over a thousand visits were made during- November, it will be seen that the six nurses had all they could possibly do on their hands. since the beginning ot their fiscal yar, April I. thev have made 7258 visits, and treated 1115 patients. That mis is a great Increase in their work in shown by the fact that for the en tire' period of last year they made but 0 4 2 visit and treated 1396 patients. n - ronned la 1903. i The Visiting Nurse association was to-j-anixed In 1902. The work was started with one nurse. Tater It was thought best to Incorporate the asso ciation under the laws of Oregon. hlr definite object Is the providing of trained nurses for thoie who are kick, and unable to pay. The work la done; through a board consisting of 19 women. The work is divided Into vari ous. -departments, the work which Is nianaged by committees, such, for ex ample as the committee of . supply. finance, visiting nurses, tuberculosis. membership. and dispensary. At present they tiave a contributing membership of 825. The money of the association is car ried in two funds the general fund and the tuberculosis . fund, the former rund being derived from the annual membership dues. The tuberculosis fund Is raised by subscription, and averages about $1400 a year. Kpw Zxpenses Are Met. f This money pays the salary of a rurse as well as the expense of main enance of the tuberculosis clinic at the free dispensary, and to help pay for sanitarium care, such as the- pro viding of milk, eggs, bedding and plothlng to patients who are unable to pay for them. Ho useful was this de partment that the city of I'ortland. In its annual budget allowance, made an Allowance to pay for an additional fturse for this department. Mrs. E. E. Orittinger is the superin tendont of the nurses. There are six graduate nurses on the force.

NEWEST COUNTY -Ml E T THE CHRISTMAS SHIP Gratitude Is Expressed for the - Kindly Thoughts That Prompted Sending Jason. Genoa, Dec. 12. By direction of the government of Montenegro, a commis sion called on, J. C. O'Laughlln, In charge of the Christmas ship cargo aboard the United States collier Jason, to express gratitude to the American children for remembering the Monte negrin orphans of the war. The com mission was sent specially to Genoa to discharge what the 'members de scribed as a pleasant duty. The com mission stated that all arrangements had been made for the distribution of the gifts, which will be heartily wel comed. Italian Government Aids Distribution, The Italian government has been specially, sympathetic and has given pvery facility for forwarding the gifts, 'even at great cost. It provided, free of charge, the pier alongside which the U, S. S. Jason was placed, the necessary lighters and labor for un loading the gifts, wagons to convey the goods to the freight depot, railroad transportation for the Austrian and German gifts to the Austrian frontier and for the Montenegrin gifts to Biyl. Italy. From Bari the Montenegrin gifts will be sent across the Adriatic to Cettinje, the capital of Montenegro. Hext Fort Is Salonika. The Jason will leave next week for Salonika, where Lieutenant Comman der Courtney will deliver to the Ser vian consul the gift destined for the bervlan orphans. The. Greek . govern ment has arranged to facilitate trans portation through its territory. France extended a hearty welcome to the United States steamship Jason, the Chicago Herald's Christmas ship, bringing the gifts of tho children of America to the war orphans of France, earlier in the week. From the time of the Jason's arrival in the government dock, where the ship was berthed, until late in the afternoon. Commander Courtney and the representatives of the children of the United States were the recipients of official attention. The jprefect' of the province of Bou- chesdef hone and Mme. Schrameck gave an official de jeuner. The historic city of Marseilles was still sleeping when the Jason arrived at daybreak off the breakwater. A single blank cartridge fired by the fort caused the ship to anchor for 10 min utes, then, with a pilot aboard, per mission ;was given to proceed. The vessel steamed slowly through the channel, passing by the Chateau D'lf made famous by. Alexander Dumas in "Monte Cristo," which now Is used as a place of detention for German pris oners. Sainted by Soldiers. Bright sunlight flooded the pictur esque hills studded with factories, whose tall chimneys furnished mute evidence of the Industrial activity of this part of France, and the Jason finally entered the breakwater, steam ing past the docks whereon were sta tioned s soldiers clad in their striking blue and red uniforms. As the Jason backed into the berth there was seen on the dock a group of officials, some In uniform, representing the French government. ' As soon as the gang plank was put over the side. , Consul General Gaulin mounted the ship, fol lowed by Prefect Schrameck, a repres entative of the military governor of Marseilles, and the Comite de Secours National, the latter charged with the distribution of the gifts for the or phans of France. Commander Courtnev and Mr. 6'Laughlin received the distinguished visitors pn the gangway and were in troduced by Mr. Gaulin. M. Schram eck, with bared head, delivered a short and eloquent address and declared the historic sympathy and friendship which exists between America and France and which always has existed since the time of Lafayette was em phasized by the action of the children of America in remembering the dis tress of the orphans of France on Christmas day. "The action of the American chil dren brings tears to our eyes from full hearts," he said. "Representing the French government and in its name I welcome yon to Marseilles and thank you and the donora for their kindly thought and remembrance of us in this crucial hour."

Oregon M&de Goods Urged for Purchase Governor West and Mayor Albee Issue Official Proclamation for Good of State. By official proclamation of Governor West and Mayor Albee, all citizens are to pause for a moment at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning and ponder this fact. "Purchase of Oregon-made goods means more prosperity for Oregon." For tomorrows is "prosperity day" throughout the state. All the mayois have proclaimed it for the benefit of their home people. Portland's people will find ample reminder of the need of patronizing home industry in every store In town. Banners will flare at them, and cards will advise them. If everybody in the state buys an Oregon .made article tomorrow instead of the Chicago made or New Tork made or Paris, made article he figured on buying, experts say $1,000,000 will be held here at home which otherwise would seek remote corners of the world. The Oregon Industry league has asked and secured the cooperation of between 600 and 700 Portland mer chants to feature Oregon goods tomor row. .This special will include the dis play of banners bearing slogans some thing like this: Oregon Products Sell on Merit. It's Good Business to Patronize Ore gon Industry. It Pays to Keep Oregon Monev in Oregon. Safety First Use Oregon Products. Made in Oregon's Not Enousrh Trade In Oregon, That's the Stuff. in addition. 15,000 cards will be dis tributed with the following inscrip tion: "This card is a reward of merit to the holder in furthering the idea that Oregon needs bigger payrolls; mora home industries; that it is necessary for Oregon to patronize home indus try; that whenever price and quality are equal, preference be given articles produced in Oregon." This is signed by the Oregon Industry league. Many merchants are featuring - in today's advertisements the Made-in- Oregon idea, in many cases announcing special sales on Oregon products. For several days the "movie" the atres have been flashing on their screens little Made-in-Oregon slogans. Frederick T. Hyskell has announced it at several of the luncheon clubs and Dean Vincent promulgated the idea be fore the Realty Board Friday.

Many cities have a Charities En dorsement committee. Portland needs one. The heart of the public Is ten der toward suffering and misfortune but too often charity is misapplied and those 1 who are most deserving suffer in silence while the pushing sharaelexs , but plausible beggar re ceives aid that only helps to pauper ize him. On various street corners you will see solicitors for the "Nazarene Army with their i placards announcing they are to give a Christmas dinner to the poor and help to the suffering women and children. The address given is "Nazarene ; Home." 7110 Mississippi avenue. Some time ago I as lied one of the solicitors how many wolnen they were maintaining in their institution. "We have one old German woman. She' stays there all the time." he said. At the-"home'T I found Mrs. Emma Stacy. Here Is her story: "We were organ ized June 27, 1911, under our present name. Here Is the incorporation cer tificate from Secretary of State Ben Olcott allowing us to solicit. Yes, we were- in Seattle for a while, but we left there. We have given up all our branches but the one here In Portland.- i Entirely Family Affair. "Win. Stacy, my husband . is Com mander in Chief of the army, I am Chief of Staff. My old father, Ed ward Steurnagel, is a major, so is my mother a major. My little boy Willie is a lieutenant. That is all we have in the- army now but at holiday times we hire solicitors on a commission basis and they are captains. Lieuten ant : Stacy, my thirteen-year-old son is the most successful solicitor we have. He works the oTflce buildings and takes in more than 'any solici tor we can hire. He took in over $7 the day before Thanksgiving." "What do you do with the money you take in?" I inquired. "Well, we never get . In enough to pay our salaries. My. husband is sup posed to get $25 a week. I only get' $15 a week. My old father is on the salary list for $30 a month, my moth er also gets $30 a month. The solici tors get 25 per cent of what they take in. so you 6ee that uses the money up. We gave $30 to charity last year. I have made up a state ment that you can have. See we took in $1501 last year and we have . taken In $1405 this year already.' Paid $25 for Charity. "We spent $20 for printing, $15 for light, $13 for water, $62 for carfare, $125 for provisions, $30 for gas. $18 for telephone,! $20 for postage. $138 for help, $35 for fuel and $25 for charity. Then we 'charged, up $600 for rent. This year the other expenses are about the 1 samej but we have given. $30 to charity in place of -$25 as last year. Here is the list of- how many people we have given shelter to. In 1913, 400 women, this year, 395. . - "How many women do you glvo homes toiright along-?" I "asked. "None, i We Just take them in for a few nights and Bometlmes two or three weeks." "I thought you kept one old German lady all the time," I said. "Oh, yes, that is my mother." "But she Is on your salary roll as an officer." "Yes. But we have four beds and can shelter four people at once if necessary." Asking i at the .various houses in the neighborhood I was told that they tent rooms and if the people can not pay they are put out. "Do many women come to the home?" I asked of a person in the neighborhood. Woman Asked to Ihti. "No, I don't see hardly any come there. A while ago -a woman came to me and said she had been there three weeks and had paid them till the money cha had so she had to leave. he said they wouldn't keep a per- RHi Miier uieir money was usea up. Don't quote me, but 1 think they are a bunch of crooks and grafters." Looking up the matter from police records and from other sources. I found some very .interesting evidence. At Columbus, Ohio, this same organi zation operated . under their former name of the American Salvation Army. It was admitted on the witness stand that the i solicitors were paid 50 per cent for soliciting, that 40 per cent want to the local officer and that the remaining 10 per cent was sent to the head officers. At this time the Seat tle branch was operated under the title of the American Salvation Army. Later on ' account of legal trouble it was changed to "The Nazeren Army of America.!
