"Jim" Palmer. Y. M. C. A. secretary,
came back from the front last week.
' lie had been with the Oregon boys. It
had been his business to be on the
friendliest and most helpful terms with

! Will Sneak Today
Mr. Palmer Is to be the speaker at the

torlum of the Y. M. C A,, and no one
has .any question but , that the . meeting
will be crowded, for In addition to the
usual number keenly interested In., war
- stories there will be enough for an or
. dlnary ' audience of relatives eager to
hear his personal reminlscenses of the
- Oregon boys he left in France.
"I ,was sent to a little) French town
and on the station platform, I saw one
; of the moat lonesome, homesick figures
In the brave khaki of Uncle Sam, that X
ever looked upon," related Mr. Palmer ,
"I went over to him, stuck out my hand
and said. Howdy, Old Scout : I'm. away
from home, too.' ".' ; ' '
."This is just like going to heaven,'
: replied the soldier. 'I'm from-Oregon;
where are you from?
"'From Portland, Oregon, 1 told him
proudly. I commented on the . coinct

Strong testimonial to the patriotism
of Miss Mary Frances Isom, city
librarian, was unanimously adopted at
an unusually largely attended meeting
of the Professional Woman's league last
Friday evening.
Miss Isom was brought into the M.
Louise Hunt disloyalty controversy
through the fact that she desired Miss
Hunt to be saved from embarrassment
after she had declined to buy a Liberty
bond on the ground that she la a con
scientious objector to war. A statement
by W. F. Woodward, member of: the
library board, questioning Mlas Iaom's
loyalty because aha had been active In
behalf of her -assistant, has since.' been
withdrawn by Mr. Woodward and much
evidence has been educed showing that
Miss Isom has subscribed heavily to all
phases , of patriotic endeavor and all
Liberty bond issues and has- been work
ing on a half-time basis at the library
In order that she might gfva the re
mainder of her time to war work. The
statement adopted- by the Professional
Woman's league, as prepared by a com
mitted composed of .. Bertha Stuart,
Elisabeth Bain, Gertrude PC Talbot and
Grace Torrey,. is in part as follows:

ment in response to an unnecessary
question but for which Miss Iaom's
name would not have been dragged Into
the controversy. Justice demands that
the public be advised ot the handsome
contributions which Miss Isom has
made to every one of the many war
drives ; Y. M. C. A., Red Cross, Y. W. C.

her feverish devotion to country, whir.h
has impelled her to give so freely of her

Those who are not acquainted with
the facts in the case should understand
that no one has the reght nor, I am
sure, the disposition to question In the
slightest degree the splendid patriotism

Rejoicing that the controversy has
been settled is expressed in a joint
statement issued by civic clubs, which
includes an appeal for all to take as a
lesson from the circumstances th im

fort. - ...
We congratulate the public that the

Urging upon the public, and espe

addition of Bible teaching to the cur
ricula of grade and high schools
throughout the nation, the twenty-third
annual conference of the Free Metho
dist church for Oregon and Washing
ton, now In session, has approved a
report on education in which it com
pletely outlines its position. The con
ference oloses today with the dedica
tion of the Alberta church. Thirtieth

"Educated men and women will be
Increasingly in- demand. - But as a
church we wish to avoid mere lntel-
lectuaiism. tne roca upon wnicn- tne
German people have been broken to
pieces." the report" adopted says., ' "We
believe that mere education of the
mind without the ameliorating Influ
ences of Christianity is positively dan
gerous to society and the state.
Fledge of Loyalty Given
"We note with pleasure a growing
interest among the people of our great
commonwealth in the Bible as related
to the public school. We urge upon
the people, and especially upon boards
of public instruction, that as a meas
ure of national defense by way of moral
culture they accord to the Word of God
a prominent place in the curricula of
both the public school and our higher
Institutions of learning."
The conference also adopted a report
on the relation of the Free Methodist
church to the war. The statement is
an unalterable pledge of allegiance to
the cause of America. It says:
"Let no man excuse himself from
support of our present conflict be
cause it Is war. Would you forcibly
defend a child against the furious at
tacks of a beast? Then upon the same
grounds we should defend helpless na
tions and' ourselvs from the rapacious
attacks of a monstrous military people
who have crouched in the path of civi
lization to -spring upon their prey and
laid in wait Until in a moment of un

With the election of Joseph P. Jaeger.
well known Portland merchant, as
chairman of the public safety commis
sion, and Harry P. Coffin as executive
manager, steps bave been taken t -make
the work of the commission of
nclal by the city council. An ordinance
has been drafted to be submitted to lh
council which will give the public safety ,
commission the same relative standing
tne civil service commission and
make it formally responsible for fire
and accident educational and preventive
work and the keeping of accident records
in conjunction with the police bureau.
While the members of the commission
are appointed by the mayor and each
fas been appointed a special officer,
the commission aa a whole has not been
formally established by the city and its
work has been materially hampered.
The commission has outlined a vigor
ous campaign for the reduction of acci
dents in the city, particularly auto ac
cidents which have been growing in
number.
The mayor and commissioners are
understoood to be favorable to the plan.
An extended report recommending
radical changes in the traffic ordinance
has been filed with the city by the pub
lic safety commission. One of the pro
posals is that automobiles be parked
nearly parallel with the curbs. Portland
streets are so narrow that parking at
an angle closes a number of streets to
all but one-way traffic.

SHOES
Any single Walk-Over last is different from all
other lasts. There are hundreds of lasts. Here
is one with a snug-fitting arch and medium
high toe of fair width. If you found out after
trying it on that your foot needed a lower or a
higher heel, or a wider toe the Walk-Over
Store has it. The old idea that Walk-Over
Shoes are all made along the same, lines was
always wrong. There are Walk-Over models
to fit all feet, and fit is comfort.
Walk-Over Shoes are manufactured at Cam
pello, Brockton, Mass., are sold in all the im
portant towns and cities of the world, and the
the world over bear the same trade-mark.
