Whet every woman want! to know
(not knows) in touched on with unusual
mae:uline keenneu by Albert Hyde,
writing from France to hla Bister In
Portland that Is. the French girls. The
boys differ on the subject he says and
there ensue some heated arguments but
"I know beauty and a good looking
girl when I see one and seeing one Is
not an every day occurrence here !" Mr.
Hyde Is a private with the One Hundred
Sixty-second Infantrv band. He in the
son of Mrs. J. A. Hyde of E15 Bristol
streft. I xcerpts from his letter follow :
'The weather Is fine, almost warm
enough for a swim, but that la a pleas
ure we will have to forego this year.
The river here Is frightfully muddy and
from the looks of the youngsters around
here I don't think they have had a bath
but once In their lives. My. but the
kids of the poorer class are dirty. They
wear wooden shoes and their clothes are
very poor. The, better class dresa tlielr
children nicely, especially the little
girls. I never saw baby girls as cute
and tastily dressed as In France. They
look like living dolls. Why they lose
their good looks when they grow up, I
can't understand, but they do.
"The glrU here can't bepln to com
pare with American girls when It conies
"to real beauty. Lots of the boys dlf
fr on this score and heated arguments
follow, but I think I know beauty and
a good looking girl when I see one and
r.eelng one Is not an every day occur
r-nco here. 1 think most of the boys
who are charmed with their beauty here
get that idea from their clothes. The
little tots are simply beautiful.
"We (the band) were called on Sunday
to asjlat at a French benefit concert.
It was a long drawn out affair. Two
little girls nang and a little hoy sang
well and those were the only good
thing. One play, a -Cleopatra net, was
supported by a ballet and they all got
twisted up with the muxic and them
seles and Just hud to quit while the
crowd laughed Itself sick. One of the
girl'j stockings kept coming down In
spite of all her frantic efforts to snatch
it up and It was so darn funny we boys
in the back Just roared. This play was
staged In nn old theatre that must have
been built at the beginning of the old
town. It sure was a crummy looking
plnce.
MoMlert Pat on Show ,
"I.nut night there was a big entertain
ment at the quartern here to celebrate
(ihe date when we were first called out.
'March 15. The place was packed with
Holdlers and French civilians, men and
women. The acts included the band,
'iik. a dog act donated by a Ml nit
circle In town, a French comedian
from tho same show; a dozen of our
boys dressd up as the 'Brazilian army'
and cracked some good Jokes on the of
ilcerjt which got a laugh. Some fancy
motorcycle riding by one of the boys
was exceptionally good. A tug of war
was exciting with four men on a side
and we yelled our heads off. The fun
niest act wa a boxing bout by Worth
1 up ton and Norler of the band. They
burlesqued the thing and were dressed
In white pajamas and striped pajamas
with i pillow reinforcements to their
weight. Both are natural comedians. .A
light lunch was served after the pro
gram. We had sandwiches, cake, ap
ples, pickles and hot chocolate and It
was quite a treat to many of the French
peonle.

Commissioner's Cow
Captures High Honor
John M. "Mann, commissioner of pub
lic utilities, is the owner of a Guernsey
cow giving milk which has received the
highest test of any milk analyzed by
the city health bureau since the milk
division was organized.
A sample of the milk tested 6.7 per
cent In butter fat and 10.7 per cent in
solids-not-fat. which brings the total of
solids to 17.4 per cent, according to Dr.
D. W. Mack, chief milk Inspector.
"This Is the highest test yet recorded
In this office." said Dr. Mack, "and I
believe that it Is the highest test re
corded In thla state."
PORTLAND WILL HAVE
TO SUBSTITUTE COAL
FOR OIL THIS YEAR
Government Sounds Warnings
That State May Get Little
Fuel Oil Hereafter.
Further indications that the govern
ment plans to commandeer more coast
oil tankers is seen in telegrams just re
ceived from Washington by Fuel Ad
ministrator Holmes advising him that
Oregon oil consumers will be instructed
to obtain coal, in that event.
In this connection C Bottlng. 608 Lyon
building. Seattle, has been appointed dis
trict representative for the United States
fuel administration for the mines in the
state of Washington.
Warnings that industrial Oregon may
be compelled to go virtually on a coal
basis were made several days ago by
Mr. Holmes, due to the government's
need of fuel oil tankers for Atlantic use.
That the substitution of coal for oil
will have a widespread effect in Oregon
is undented. In Portland alone, scores
of industrial plants are equipped for oil
and in addition a number of hotels.
apartments and office buildings use It
for heating purposes.
Under the proposed rulings a priority
list will be Issued by the fuel adminis
tration and oil will be supplied plants In
the order of their appearance on the list.
Fuel Administrator Holmes Is await
ing further Information from Washing
ton In this connection. As soon as the
priority list Is announced he will ar
range for proper distribution of coal to
points where it Is needed.
Should the oil supplies be curtailed it
will have a marked effect on the fuel
situation in Oregon and increase danger
of shortage next winter. For this reason
jthe fuel administrator Is urging all
householders to secure their next win
ter's supply now.
Big Farm Loss Laid
To Grain Standards
Washington, April 25. (I. N. a)
Through the grain standards evolved by
"swivel chair scientists" of the depart
ment of agriculture, wheat farmers lost
from four to ten cents a bushel or an
aggregate' of $20,000,000, last year. H. N.
Owen of Minneapolis, told the house
agricultural committee Wednesday.
He urged legislation providing for a
federal grain standard board to be
made up of the secretary of agriculture
and representatives of the governors of
the wheat-growing states, to fix grain
standards "that will do justice to the
farmer."
