The auxiliaries of the Portland chapter of the Red Cross are among its most interesting features.

Clackamas. Washington. Yam hill. Tillamook and- Columbia counties of all sorts of usual bents, who have dedicated their beet energies to pro viding supplies that will be of help and comfort to soldiers at the front. ; It Is from these auxiliaries and branches, principally, that all the j sweaters.' wristlets, socks and other J knitted goods come from. And they can be relied upon to xurnisn cimpwin -vor and leadership when money and more members are wanted.

FIFTH AND MORRISON :i!!::::::::ni!iiisiinn:iiimiiii3ii Timintitnimiinn one of the largest and most efficient workrooms in the United States. Here come .between 175 and 200 women a day there is a different group' for each day and between November 1 and 20 they produced 20.800 surgical dressings 4 by 4 Inches.. 4800 . dressings 9 by. inches, 135 packages of paper backed pads, 180 packages of IS by 24 absorb ent pads and 126 packages of. 16 by 24 irrigation pads. The big workroom has placed in it .wide tables and around each a dosen z: i women - sit. All wear white overdresses 2 ; and white headdresses, except that the 3 ! captain of each table is distinguished 2 by a, red headdress and the superintend-. 3 nt and chairman for each day by blue 3 headdresses. Every sanitary precaution 2 is taken. The requirement of the Amer- 3 lean Red Cross is that the surgical ; dressings only may be made by women 2 correctly appareled In a room where no 3 other work is done. The floor must be ' swept night and - morning. The tables 2 1 are washed with boiling water and. i rubbed until dry dally, and all the wood- I work in the room is scrubbed. Visitors 2 are not allowed. Each surgical dress 3 ' ing is thoroughly sterilised before it Is 3 j shipped and resterllized before it Is used. Ail these precautions are taxen. There must not be so much as a tiny thread loose that might cause a wound to fester. All these precautions are taken so that ourK brave boys who expose themselves to danger may if wounded be given the greatest assurance of re covery. . Shipping Room Bsiy Place Adjoining the big workroom is an other 'room used? for packing the con tributions in cases for shipment to New Tork. Here from the auxiliaries and branches Mr. Loewgart received between November 1 and 20 6412 pairs of knitted socks (that shows yfu what the goodl women you everywhere see knitting so industriously are doing), 1110 sweaters, scarfs, helmets and wristlets,! 172 pairs of knitted bed socks and in addition 2328 packets of Christmas presents for shipment. Z do not wish to become merely statistical, but the supply depart ment reported In cases ready for ship ment during the first 20 days of Novem ber 23 1-6 dosen bed socks, 90 dosen bed shirts, 81 1-S dosen bed sheets. .1 1-6 dosen bed spreads, 7 1-12 dosen draw sheets, 81 dosen pillows, 89 dozen pillow cases, 20 5-12 dosen pajamas, 120 10-12 dosen shoulder wraps, 159 1-6 dosen bath towels, 176 1-6 dozen plain towels, 112 H dosen dish towels, 160 10-12 dosen wash dotha. 86 2-8 dozen tray cloths, 1122V4 dozen napkins, . 216 2-8 dosen, handker chiefs, 64 6-6 dosen substitutes for hand kerchiefs, 48 1-3 dozen , hot water bag covers, 46 1-3 dozen bath, robes, E dozen operating leggings, 6 - dozen operating gowns and 1 case of clean rags. ' From - November 1 to November 20 approximately 90 cases were packed with " hospital supplies and articles for the soldiers. One case would be valued at $700 and ' $ 800 when It ' contained, say, 90 knitted sets of sweaters, scarfs. helmets and wristlets. There . Is an other , workroom la the Meier a . Prank store. l . Tha tremendous 'production Is ' only made ' possible by I organisation along "factory lines' coupled with the tender, loyal Interest in the welfare of all the boys who have gone out to fight for their country, felt by every gentle- handed woman who works at home. . v. Chrlsjraes Package Campaign , -The American Red Cross undertook to prepare 1.750,000 Christmas , packages J xor our soiaiers . ana 5 sailors. Late, in October the Portland 'chapter was in-1 formed its quota would be 6500, at an average cost each of a little more than $1. Later, the Portland quota was raised to 9500 packages, although it was contended correct figuring would make the number 6100. Lewis A. McArthur, general manager of the Pacific Power c Light company, was made director of the Christmas, package campaign. People were asked to contribute pack ages and money. Mrs. Ferdinand . E. Reed organized a tag day which result ed In contributions aggregating $8000, which with donations sent direct to the Red Cross and packages contributed will mean that by the end of the com ing week nearly 10,000 packages cost ing more than $10,000 will have been dispatched from the Portland work room a As all materials were bought at wholesale price, the Christmas package costing $1.10 is really worth at retail about $1.60. The local supoly of ban dana handkerchiefs, chocolate, cakes and Other articles nearly depleted , tne Portland stock in hand. Each package consists of a blue bandana handkerchief (red Is not permitted) or a khaki bag containing writing paper, envelopes, pencil, a trench mirror, puzzle or game. deck of cards or set of dominoes, ciga rettes, smoking tobacco, papers,-four pieces of chocolate, two packages of mints, two packages of gum and other articles. When contributors especially asked It, their money was not used 'to purchase tobacco. the direction of Mr. Lowengart: Miss Loretta- Lynch devoted her entire time for over a month in directing the prep aration of the packages; Mrs. Florence Moseby. cashier , of the PorUaniTuchaD- xer. and M. H. Hartwell aideer.ln the work: Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Clark have supervised. the packing of packages in Bunas ef Civilian Belief The committee on civilian , relief ' is headed by E. B. MacNaughton and Mrs. J. N. Davis is secretary. Finan- daJ aid tm fnuiul mnm namiuanr now Ithan It wUl be a little later when ! the government system of allowances becomes effective. The field of ultl mate need, however, says Mr. Mac Naughton. 'Is not monetary, but lies in the call to aid many of these fam Hies and dependents with the advice AnnaAl that nlnri!v fa attiw plied by the man of the house. The removal from the family of, the one in whom, ordinarily, has rested the power ef dec Men. often leave . that group stranded and broken. Friendly counsel and aid at this critical time until the wife Is able to readjust her bearings will often save the group from break-up' and preserve the fam ily aa a unit. That, after all, is the big task of the war. Recognising that this work cannot be done by untrained workers, no mat ter bow sincere and zealous they may be. the committee is training a group of workers under the direction of Professor P. H. Douglas of. Reed college and A. R. Gephart of the public welfare bureau. This Inst!, tute covers a course of full time study for a period of six weeks and- 10 volunteers are taikng the work. A certificate will be granted by the Red Cross to those completing the course satisfactorily. ! The acceptance by the American Red Cross of the care of all famine and dependents of the soldiers snd sailors of our allies will greatly In crease the work of ctvillaif relief. The number of Canadian families re quiring aid and counsel is rapidly fncreastnr. This will necessitate the enrolling of another Institute for home service after the holidays and those desiring to enroll should make In quiry at the Red Cross headquarters in the Corbett building. Extension lectures will be arranged for those unable to take the courses. The ' committee has given counsel and help to 111 families.

The big an nual show staged by the Oregon Poul try and Pet Stock association opens Monday morning and runs until next Saturday night. J Two thousand animals including chickens, duck a geese, carle, rab bits and pigeons will be on show. In their - number wUl be some of the fanciest and most ,valuable birds in the United States, entries having been made from all the leading poultry centers of the United States. . either by Individuals or by specialty orga nizations. One of the special features of, this year's show will be demonstrations in the feeding of poultry under the present war conditions with high prices prevailing', . This subject has given much concern to poultry raisers and has resulted la much re search to find foods suitable and less eapsastvs, " - - - . Judging ef tha entries win be start, ad soon after the opening of tha show and win continue all week, la addi tion to tha $1S0 - la cash prizes of fered by tha state as an encourage ment to the Industry, there will be dozens of special classes of chickens and pet -stock. . ; These prises have attracted taaciers from parts of the United States sever before participating la tha poul try shows in Portland. The specialty prise list has been made prominent in Portland by reasoa of the) annual Seattle show having been dropped and the Oakland show having been curtailed in shte. This has opened the way for making the Portland show not only the blrrt and most Important ever held la Oregon, but the biggest and most Important to be held this year. " .. . Special attractions have been pro t nr nrioue days during the week. One of these will be a rabbit barbeque on Wednesday evening wn samples of rabbit cooked la various ways will be passed out free to the show visitors-" 2670 Workers Killed By Accident in Year n.wdtirr.

Laaehes for Estralsed Mea There were many picturesque fea tures connected with serving lunches ta the soldiers as they passed through the city on their way to cantonments. The trainlo&ds of men from south and east began coming about September 20. Ar rangements were made that young women should meet the trains and de liver smiles, good cheer and the lunch boxes, each containing a cup cake, some cookies, cheese, candy, fruit, an apple pie and some cigarettes. Many of ths men realized that .this was being done by the Red Cross and was in addition to the food provided by the railroad, but others did not, says Fred H. Strong, who directed the work. So when the second movement of troops began and it was found that the men were being brought to the Multnomah hotel for their meals, a vacant store room was sc oured from the hotel management and here - candles, salted peanuts, crack er Jaok. apples and cigarettes were handed out. Subsequently the cracker jack gave way to stamped picture postcards, some 60 per cent of which were addressed by the soldiers and mailed before leav ing the hotel.
