Injuries and wounds, are now visiting
hospitals and homes of injured persons

(slnce the opening of the clinic, 25 pa
tients in. St. Vincents hospital. Good Sa
maritan - hospital. Sellwood hospital,
County hospital, and ihelr homes have
been treated. This branch of the work Is
under the supervision oj Miss Frede

1. Of the total. 93 were treated by mas
Sage, 13 by corrective gymnastics, and

. not needing further treatment.
Interesting changes have been brought
t about in tne appearance of the Reed col
lege campus and in the living conditions
there by the opening up of the summer
school for reconstruction aides. About
170 are living on the campus, and on
three days of the week at least 200 are

have to be right on the jobto prevent
forest fires until the fall rains set in.
The following rules for the prevention
of fire in the mountains have been is
sued by the forest service for the gener
al public, especially campers :
Matches Be sure your match is out
before you throw it away.
Tobacpo Throw pipe ashes and cigar
or cigarette stumps in the dust on the
road and stamp or pinch out the fire
before leaving them. Don't throw them
nto bushes, leaves or needles.
Making camp Build a small camp
fire. Build it in the open, not against
tree or log, nor within 15 feet of
standing bush. Scrape away the trash
from all around it.
Leaving camp Never leave a camp
fire, even for a short time without
quenching it with water, and then cover
ing it with earth. Bonfires are not
permitted in the National forests.
Fighting fires If you find a fire, try
to put it out. If you can't, get word of
it to the nearest U. S. forest service
or Btate fire warden at once. Keep in
touch with the rangers.
. New Tork. July 20. The Knights of
Columbus will have 1000 secretaries in
Europe before September 15 and another
thousand before the end of the year.
The order will raise and spend $50,000,
000 in the development of war wo?-k here
and abroad in the next 12 months. Last
year the knights raised $12,000,000 and
expended more than $7,500,000. The
order now has 200 buildings In American
training camps managed by 325 Knights
of Columbus secretaries.- Huts are being
erected as rapidly as possible In France
and wherever American soldiers are en
gaged. Secretaries are being sent
abroad as rapidly as shipping space can
be obtained.
William J. Mulligan,-chairman of the
Knights of Columbus committee of war
work activities, who has returned from
an inspection of the order's work along
the western front In France, is authority
for these statements.
The knights began their war work
activities by erecting a chain of service
buildings in New Mexico, Arizona and
Texas during the mobilization of Amer
ican troops on the Mexican border.
