The letter read : -Retail dealers and grocery mall order houses have from almost the beginning of the sugar crisis made a practice of advertising sugar for sale only In com' bination orders wtth. other goods, a method adopted to force purchasers to buy other merchandise In order to get sugar.' "On JanuarV S the federal trade com mission handed down a ruling declaring such business practices to be unfair competition, and directed that all such practices should cease, and issued for . tnal notice of this decision to all deal ers against whom complaints had been filed.

Kll- pack, a Portlander on the Rhine In Ger many, to act as an interpreter between the victorious soldiers of France and the conquered people of Germany. Duty as a war work secretary or tne T. M. C. A. carried Kllpack to the vil lage of Ludwiffshafen. It Is a quaint little place where the storks build their bulky neats on the roofs of the villagers' modest dwelling's. The picturesque Rhine flows nearby. Forest and coun tryside were intended by nature to be peaceful, beautiful and productive. Kilpack was brought Into association not alone with the French and Germans but with Soudanese and Algerians and Belgians and the many others whom the fortunes of war had thrown together. He enjoyed -his stay In Germany. There was little depression of spirit and German Soldiers played soccer football with much of the energy that once they employed in their aggressive battles against the allies. The French and Ger man men. Indeed, competed for athletic honors in pole vaulting and other feats of strength. "It was lucky for me that I had com-' mand of the languages of France and Germany as well as of English, because it greatly Increased my usefulness and. I hope, helped open the way to calmer relations between the representatives of the two nations at the point on the Rhine where I was stationed," saM Kll pack. "But I must add that being In OCCUPIED RMANY SMEW IN GERMANY France and Germany only increased my love ior America ana for "Portland."

Oregon CUPID ADDS ONE ADDITIONAL STAR TO HIS GALAXY I II. I ! I II I Wedding Bells Ring as Result of Interesting War Romance; Bride Was Yeomanette. Dan Cupid must have smiled a wide one as he put his last collec tion of pierced hearts away for the day and glanced over Thursday's record of marriages in Portland. For there, heading; the list, were the names of Miss Thelma J. Richard son, one-time yeomanette tt Brem erton, and Frank F. Katx, New York city, former member of the "Oregon Crip club" at the O. A. C. They were married Thursday at the home of the Rev. J. Tibbs Maxey, 635 Wygant street. At first glance the names suggest nothing more than the usual gentle ro mance. But when one remembers that Miss Richardson Is the only girl mem ber of the "Crip club" which Includes more than 150 wounded ex-soldlers In various stages of rehabilitation, mental and physical, there is a fine setting for a post-war love story. SOME SHELL-SHOCKED Among the members of the club are men who have been shell-shocked on the baltleflelds of France. Others have lost a limb, and some are nearly sight less. But Miss Richardson had not been In France. She had not ' even seen a battlefield. But she had fallen Just the same in service of her oountry. When Thelma Richardson was a very little girl, her mother died. Her father left for Central America. Since that time she had made her home much of the time with her two aunts In Pendle ton, Mrs. Guy Byers and Mrs. Henry Thompson. She had finished at high school Just before the call for service in the cause against Germany came. Her brother had marched away with the toys In khaki. Filled wiih the spirit of patriotism the srirl enlisted In the navy. When she found she was to be stationed at Bremerton she was very happy and did her part faithfully as a yeomanette. PATS WERE WEARY Sometimes the days were weary ones and often they wtre filled with longing for a more glorious task. Then jthe "flu" epidemic came. Every, man and woman In the navyyard was lined up and Inoculated witn the serum. II was a commonplace Incident, but somehow, no one knows how it hap pened, the little yeomanette was rcisoned and for nine long weeks re mained in a hospital suffering painfully with swollen knee Joints. The doctors said that she would per haps never walk again without crutches. It was an Impossible thought to Thelma, for she Is as bright and gay as a tawny butterfly in the sun. With grim determination she made a fight for re- Stored health and activity and somehow, after many painful, slowly dragging weeks, she laid aside her crutches and hobbled about without them. But still the future with this big hand; leap loomed bewildering and dim be fore her. Thelma ' had made many friends and eventually, through the In fluence of C. S. Jackson, publisher of The Journal, William G. McAdoo be came interested In the case and took .the matter up personally! with the bureau of pensions at Washington and Thelma was allotted a monthly sum from the United States government for her. support "VIEWS LIFE SERIOUSLY Registering at Oregon . Agricultural college at the beginning of the fall semester, the little yeomanette worked diligently to fit herself for self support as a private secretary. She spent little time In the usual frivolities that attend the college days of other girls, for her life had become a serious business.
