" Unless the registrants who have failed to return their questionnaire filled out. and thoM who have changed their ad dress since they registered for the selec tive service draft, make their where about known within the next few dare, they will be arrested and charred with desertion. , Scott Redfield, chief clerk of local board division No. 8, says the board will turn the names of the registrants over to the police with instructions to arrest them. The local boards look with dis majrat the large number of men who have "returned their questionnaire un opened. Officials of the board say that these questionnaires have been sent out to the addresses the men gave when they registered and that there la no excuse for such a large number of question naires being returned unopened through the postal authorities.

' Individual cases claiming exemption n .the grounds of partial support of par - ents and dependents will meet with scant approval from the exemption board unless there Is a valid reason why - these men should not be Inducted into military service. - It is the belief of some of the exemp tion officials that some of the men have purposely absented themselves and that is the reason for so many returned ques- ' tlonoalres marked "not called for. Un , less these men appear within a reason ' able length of time and make claim for : their questionnaire. It Is not at all lm . probable that they will be classed by the local board as deserters and will be ' listed as such on the records. There are a great many cases, so local board officials say, where a man has changed his address legitimately but in these cases he should make an especial effort immediately to communicate with local exemption board officials to save himself future trouble.

The delegates to the special session of the head camp, Woodmen of the World, for Oregon and Washington, started Saturday morning over the Union Pacific for Denver in a special car. The special session will be held In that City January IS and may last two or three days, but it will be over not later than Saturday. The object of I, '. the session is to devise methods to meet the increased burden on the order by reason of there being so many mem bers called to the defense of the coun try. The order has over $9,000,000 in interest bearing reserves and a mem bership of 125.000. The W. O. W from its general treasury has agreed to pay the full benefits of every soldier in case of death, whether on the battlefield or from natural causes. The local camps agree to pay from their treasuries the dues of every soldier from month to month Into the general treasury. If the American forces suffer the same mortality the Canadian, British and French have, the Woodmen of the World will, it is contended, ultimately have to raise additional funds to carry out its obligations. , Other fraternities are tn the same sit uation and the deliberations of the head cams Will be observed bv them with great interest as it is the first fraternal organization which has taken up the solution of the problem. kons, 520 Market; Conrad Tronson, 321 WVeit Park; Yarko Pashter. 689 Nine teenth; Ray Henry Lesher, 702 Flan ders ; James Rosa to, 294 Sheridan ; Tony Rose, 384 Third ; James Thores, 384 Mill ; John L.

Employs 500 Women ar doing the work of men in and we are well paid. I, for one. am not the Albina car shops and foundry of the O-W. R. & N. railway. These shops axe the largest operated by this railway sys tem and in many departments women, arrayed in overalls, are proving their ability to take the' places of men. In the foundry are women core makers and brass polishers. Twelve women are em ployed in the car building, repair and renovating departments. They clean the cars, renovate the cushions and attend to all the details of making the coaches comfortable for passengers. When cars are being rebuilt women sandpaper and prepare them for the painters and varnishers. Officials of the road say that the work of the women is satisfactory in every Instance and that in some departments they are su perior to men. . Many Related to Soldiers. More than 400 men in the employ of the O-W. R. h. N. railway have enlisted in the military and naval service of the government and it is because of the re sulting shortage of labor that women are being employed. Many of the 600 women la- the employ of the. company are wives or sisters of enlisted men. ' They are satisfied with working con looking for a change. Yardmaster Praises Girls Twenty women are employed in the store department of the company in Portland. There have been numerous en listments from this department and ad vancements or selections to fill vacancies made places for the women. Yardmaster Barr has four women working tn his department. "It's out of the ordinary to have women in the yardmaster's office," said Msr Barr, "but I wouldn't exchange my four girls for any eight fellows you could bring me. There's Mrs. Bowen, Myrtle Watson, Edna Rasmussen and Myrtle Rose employed here and they are every one of them 100 per cent efficient. Take Miss Rose for example. She is a stenog rapher, typewriter and bookkeeper. She has charge of all the supplies and has effected a saving everywhere In the of fice. She has made herself familiar with every detail of the work of this de partment, and, take it from me, she is in line for promotion. I'm proud of my women assistants ; they are capable and trustworthy and they improve the morale of this department." Number Steadily Increasing In the general offices of the O-W.

"The San Francisco earthquake and fire was trivial In comparison with the Guatemala catastrophe," was the state ment today of Mrs. Bertha Fischer, first refugee from the stricken Central American city to arrive here. Mrs. Fischer, whose home is here, arrived on a steamer from the south. "The earthquake came on the third day of my visit to my brothers' home in Guatemala City," she said. -It was at 10:20 p. m. and we were receiving guests. Suddenly the house began to shake. ' There were six of us in the house at the time and we fled with such clothing and provisions as we could get together in our haste. We made our way state it as our mature opinion that the punishment inflicted by the board of education is too severe for the offense and that we believe it would be in the best Interest of true Justice and of the community as a whole that the mat ter should be amicably adjusted without recourse to the board of arbitration. "Therefore, we respectfully petition your honorable body that you immedi ately rescind your action and reinstate Mr. May in his former position as teacher -of civics in the Jefferson high school." - Fishery Hearings Planned Washington, Jan. 12.
