mated as far -as possible. For some rea
son , or other the national guard haa of
lata been giving salute to officers in
two motions, the first with the riirht
hand coming down from the right temple
to about opposite the mouth and then
either stopping altogether or halting
with a brief jerk and continuing in a
more, or less regular manner to the side.
This, Colonel Dentler says, is not the
regulation salute. The motion should
be one continuous drop of the hand all
the way to the side, and there should be
no cigars, cigarettes or other Impedi
menta in the hand. Colonel Dentler

Red Cross Shop
To Hold Sale of
HatsonMonday
WHILE making an earnest appeal for
immediate donations of used cloth
ing, sacks of rags, bundles of newspa
pers and magazines, jewelry, pictures,
books and household furnishings, the
American Red Cross shop announces a
Bale of women's and children's trimmed
hats, to begin Monday.
Over 25Q hats have been donated to
the Red Cross shop at 70-72 Third street
They have, been trimmed by volunteer
workers of the Red Cross in their spare
time. Every variety of shape and many
modish styles are represented.
A fine stock of sweaters and bags will
shortly be exhibited at the shop. Women
residents of the Mann home are now
working on these sweaters and bags
which will be made from yarn donated
to the Red Cross shop. All the work
on the knitted articles is, of course, do
nated to the Red Cross shop.
Mrs. William Boyer and Mrs. Ray
Wurzweiler, in charge of . the clothing
department' of the shop, are especially
urgent with appeals for donations of
clothing and shoes. Stocks of clothing
for men, women and children have run
very low at the shop and are not near
ly sufficient to supply the demand.
The book store, too, is anxious for do
nations: Books form a steady source of
revenue for the Red Cross, while, odd
ly enough, bundles and sacks of rags
find an immediate sale. Sometimes the
scraps of silk are manufactured by the
willing Red Cross workers Into saleable
articles, while the rags generally bring
a ready market.
The Red Cross workers at the shop
give all their time. Most of them have
literally looted their homes to keep the
shop working. Now they beg Portland
women to take care of the shortage of
saleable articles at the shop.
The Red Cross shop is now the princi
pal source of revenue for the Portland
chapter. The operating expenses are
low, consisting principally of rent and
the operating of the truck. All the sales
force donate their time.
The Red Cross truck will call for
any bundle on receipt of a telephone call
to the American Red Cross, Main 6689.

American Revolution, will meet at the

Physical: Work
iOf Most Value
To Y. W. Girls
OF the vast amount of good -work
accomplished by tbe Young Women's
Christian association, none ia of more
real value to the girls than' the physical
work, and this year the local associ
ation proposes to stress this work, mak
ing its classes as attractive as possible
in the hope of having a larger enroll
ment than ever before.
Miss Jean Wold, who did some work
at the association near the end of last
year, has been retained as regular di
rector of the physical work this year.
Miss Wold is especially well Qualified
for this work, as she has for seven years
done physical work in the Portland i
high schools as well as giving private
lessons. She recently returned from
New York, where she took special work ;
with Mrs. Morgan. She had previously
studied with Challf.
Gymnasium classes will open October,
and registrations will begin at once. All
branches of gymnasium work, athletics,
esthetic and folk dancing will be taught.
The association gymnasium is one of
the largest and airiest in the city, and
large classes, are expected.
Another branch of the physical work
IS the swimming, which will be in charge
of Miss Alice M. Lud gate, who was so
successful in this branch of the associ
ation's activities last year. Miss Lud
gate received her training at tbe Uni
versity of Washington and the Univer
sity of California, and she was assisting
in the department of the Seattle Y. W.
C A. for three years prior to coming
to Portland.
' Classes will begin October 1 in ad
vanced work and life saying. A feature
of this work ia the private lessons,
which are always popular. The social
swims once a week, when the members
may bring their girl friends at a
nominal cost, will again be a part of
the program. Miss Ludgate regrets
that so few pupils continue their lessons
until they really become proficient
swimmers, the majority being satisfied
when they have mastered one stroke.
She hopes to Interest many of the be
ginners this season in continuing
through the entire course.

Woman's Rights Seen From
Turkish Standpoint
OOME extremely modern young
women, wno mistawe symptoms ior
the causes of women's independence,
should make a tour of Turkey," sug
gests a bulletin from the Washington
headquarters of the National Geographic
society.
"There women smoke, have had prop
erty rights for centuries and divorce
is easy, but who In all respects wat.ts
to be a Turk?
"The 'toys of the Turkish harems'
were to be pitied in many ways, !t is
true, but considerable pity for them has
been misdirected. For example, the
Turkish women who now are to be
'emancipated' have had absolute con
trol of their own property for hundreds
of years, whereas the German wives
cried In vain for such 'emancipation' un
der the kaiser."
The bulletin quotes from a communica
tion by Mary Mills Patrick, which gives
a vivid picture of the condition of Turk
ish women before the world war. It
follows :
"It Is a well known fact that Roman
law regarded the rights of the individual
without consideration of" sex : a man or
a woman was alike a citisen of the
Roman world. This met the require
ments of Mohammedan life, where no
woman , ever necessarily sustained a
lasting relation with any man.
"Therefors, during all the centuries of
Mohammedan- history, women have le-

A visit to the laboratory at Lynn,

casual looker-on with the relia
bility, accuracy, skill and cleanli
ness which attends the making of
this great medicine for woman's
ills. .
Over 350,000 pounds of various herbs
are used annually, and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year
when their natural juices and medici
nal substances are at their best.
It is the wonderful combination of roots
and herbs, together with the skill and care
used ia its preparation, which has made
thia (unoM medicine so ucceseiul in the
treatment of female ills.
Letters from thousands of women who
have been restored to heakh attest to the

"It has been on the social side that
Mohammedan women have suffered most
under, the oppression of the last 30
yearf,, especially from the frequency of
divorce. A man could legally divorce
his wife at any minute, the only condi
tion being the payment of the dowry
which waa settled upon her by the hus
band at the time of her marriage.

In the role assigned (o them by the life
of the harem, very Ktrlct laws have been
made to prevent all possible progress'
among them. Laws have been pro
claimed over and over again forbidding
Mohammedan women to attend foreign
schools. In this emergency they en
gaged governesses. Most of these gov

governess srstem obtained so much In

were made forbidding women to have

an effort for mental Illumination, read

themselves, and sometimes retting help
from their husbands and brothers. They
