Hospital Gifts to ex-Soldiers Solicited. Tp offer torn measure of Christina cheer to the E disabled veterans of the Worlft war who are now patients at the United States Public Health 1 Service hospital No. 77. formerly known! as the Hahnemann,, hospital, corner ut Sec ond and Haseale streets. Mrs. . Meta M. Dekkerffchlef of the medical social ser vice of the American Red Cross for this . hospital, is making a public appeal for contributions for a Christmas celebra tion, "We want to give the men Just the happiest Christmas that it is poseloie for them to have, considering their physical Infirmities and the fact that many of them are thousands of miles from home patienta in government hos pitals being from all parts of the United States. It is the earnest desire-lot the officials that the men have their Christ mas dinner and celebration in the hos pital, instead of in private homes, and to that end we hope those who wish to give ablt of cheer to the men will help us' with our Christmas plana rather , than invite one or two men to their homes," said Mrs. Dekker. i THE EH" TO BE DECKED i I A Christmas dinner with all the trim mings will be served both at noon and at night. Arrangements are being made with one of the church choirs of the city to sing Christmas carols on Christ mas morning. There will be a Christ mas tree on each of the five floors, with gifts for all of the men, and., Mrs. Dek ker offers the following list of sugges tions : I Phonograph records, books, cigars, chewing gum, fresh fruit, nuts, games, razor strops, tooth paste, woolen socks, magazines, cigarettes, tobacco, candy, canned fruit, jam and Jelly, razors, ra zor blades, tooth brushes, subscriptions to dally papers, stationery, orders on florists, potted plants, playing cards. The five sun parlors, one on each floor, are still unfurnished and con tributions for them are also earnestly solicited. Grass mats, tables, chairs, writing desks, growing ferns and plants are among the things, used in furnishing these, parlors. Decorations and colored lights for the Christmas tree will also be acceptable. I . TWO GIFTS ACKNOWLEDGED I The hospital wishes to acknowledge two recent gifts, a phonograph from the Veterans of Foreign . Wars and a grass mat from the Women's Auxiliary of the American Legion. The Women's Ad club and the Red Cross Canteen Club are planning to make contributions toward the furnishing of parlors. I Grateful acknowledgement is made to the Central library for the loan of a library of 100 volumes In constant use at the hospital and for access to i any book In the public library which the men ask for. 1 A number of men are enrolled in the occupational aid classes, in which a part of the work is the weaving of rag rugs, and contributions of cotton rags from .tfare-cjuarters to an Inch in width, sewed togethef and wound in balls, will be: put to go5d use"by the men. Scraps of silk, velvet, duvetyn and cretonne can also be used for lining the bags which the nen make. - ' Contributions may be left at the hos pital at any time, or if that is not con venient they may be left at any address and theywill be called for by notifying either the hospital.

S-)Kf forts to bring to punishment those who assassinated President Fran cisco I. Madero and Vice President Jose Maria Pino Saurez, in 1913, and Presi dent Verustiano Carranza, in 1920, .$re being continued in a rather desultory way. It Is not believed that any of the men accused will suffer execution, even though convicted. The prevailjng opinion is that prosecution will stop when clamor for vengeance ends. At present there is a resolute group which is determined to press the proceedings against the accused men. Some sus pected men have fled from Mexico. Some have committed suicide, or have been shot when trying to escape after. having been arrested. U. S. Animal Hunters 'Busy Despite .

I WO DB GRUBHO E RELIC EXPLAINED; IS F MAKER DID William Mealey of Linn County Helped Fashion Crude Utensil Used in Fighting Forest Fire. William R. Mealey of Foster. Linn county, Oregon, read In The Journal about Supervisor C C Hall of the San tiam national forest finding two primi tive grubboea carved from a yew tree, supposed to have been used by an early day forest ranger in fighting forest fires. The hoee were placed, among the exhibits of the United -States forest service in Portland. . Thereupon. Mealey sat down and wrote a letter to Hall, for Mealey was one of those mysterious, unknown rang ers, who Improvised the hoe. Mealey does not give the date, but he says it was many years ago, that it happened. The owner of the other hoe was his nephew, K. S. : Mealey. A portion of Mealey" s letter follows: "In those days away before the forest service built the fine system of trails and telephone' tines through the moun- Ltains it was Often necessary for rangers to carry their supplies and fire fighting tools on their backs, often for days over roughest kind of country. Necessarily we contrived to make our loads as light as possible. Necessity being the mother of invention, we conceived the plan of making our fire fighting tools where Above, a leisurely drive along the beach at Seaside at low tide on a mild December day; below (left tl right), a weather-beaten stump is suitable lookout;' old Seaside bouse, reminiscent of the days of Ben Holladay. By Marshall "5. Dana It's a great note to go seeking a temp est and discover summer. Ten days ago, you recollect, old Mister Boreas puffed out his cheeks and sent through our peaceful Portland streets, a wind that exceeded the speed limit The usual accidents filled the air imme diately. Plate glass windows gave up the ghost and tree roots gave up their grip on the soil. We had visited Crown Point to see the phenomenon of the Columbia's snow embalmed gorge and there was appeal in the idea of a storm lashed coast as run ning mate to an adventure that our or dinarily placid weather may never bring, again. The curtains of the machine were tightly battened. Robes were heaped high. Wo set forth Mr. and Mrs. I R. Bailey, the writer and his much the bet ter half with the same quivery sensa tion of you-can't-tell-what-may-happen-but-it-will-be-the-worst that comes to amateur mariners who sail into the breakers with a skiff. Darkness, fire building in the Bailey cottar at Gearhart, and general airing absorbed attention immediately upon our arrival. SlTtfSHnfl! BIDS WELCOME But In the morning out we went to una me wina ana brave the waves was a little low in the southern sky but he was almost as cordial as the tropics. It was a blue summer sea garnished with the billowing lace of the breakers. Down around the old seaside a house of Ben Holladay memory on the Necanl cum near Seaside the daisies were blooming. Where the famous old pioneer railroad builder had his race track for the enjoyment of his friends, half a dozen cows were grazing quietly on the unwithered grass. Loo King out to sea, one might almost imagine that a Ben Holladay ship was running in toward shore to dip her colors, as was once the custom of honor to the man who was at one time master of the Northwest's transportation. The cairn of ocean rounded boulders where Lewis & Clark more than a hun dred years ago evaporated sea water to add salt to their meat was found not j only intact but surrounded by a protec tive fence in much poorer repair than the century-old cairn. wild roses rar bloom The windows, of the shuttered houses' of summer cottagers looked like the eyes of the blind, but we gathered a spray of wild roses from near the fence of one of them. And while we were shirtsleeving It along the beach, watching the carts and and there, instead, was the sun.

England's servant 'Problem, which has never been a prob lem In the sense America knows it, is being made easier by a technical insti tute in London, which trains girls for housework. The school has just concluded its graduation ceremonies, awarded its di plomas, and a brand new college bred batch of domestics Is ready for the English home, equipped with expert knowledge of how to get along with the butler, how to humor the madame, and when to serve the master with red wine, and when with white. Ninety-five of the graduates, who were formerly factory workers, clerks and chorus girls,- are entering domestic service. The others get married. Before they left the Institute the girls participated In commencement exercises in which they cleaned shoes according to the . latent academic notions, polished brass, laid a table for a six-course din ner, exhibited a week's washing all ready to put away, and cooked an array Of fancy dishes calculated to excite the palate of the most exacting Englishman. A prize essay contest was held, the girls outlining their theories on faith ful 1 domestic service. A sentence from the winning composition read: "Never think you know enough, be cause you don't" Alaska Society to Entertain Monday A meeting of the Alaskan society will be held in the assembly room of the Portland hotel, Monday evening.

Marshall 4 Its motors on the sand and wondering about the effects of December tan. the sun kept on shining and shining. The day from beginning of dawn till the hushed moment when the stars thrust their gleams through the velvet cover of night was simply so peaceful, so kindly, so warm, yet so exhilarating, that we returned with a question. Here it is: Why doesn't Seaside telephone or tel egraph to Portland and announce such days ot December .summer? We can be there by motor Or train In a few hours, and all be the better for It At the terminus of the paved Columbia river highway is a place which has charm in August but delight in mid winter. It's time to realise the opportunity. and when we needed them, thus Baving the extra labor involved in carrying mattocks with us. "In fact it is remarkable tow wen a digger made from a tough yew tree, the cutting edge hardened in a fire, will do. In almost any ordinary circumstances they are quite as efficient in the hands of a practiced woodsman as a mattock.' They are light and strong. The handle wUl not break out and they can be read ily sharpened when the edge becomes dulled. I see you understand the value of' this simple tool to the forest serv ice. Little did we think so many years ago, so far away in the great forest with so much depending on our Individual efforts and with so little to do with, only our belt axes and water sacks and such a relentless foe to con tend with, that the relics of the des perate fight for the preservation of the timber lands would one day be brought to the notice of the 'forest service.

Journal readers the front pages for six Sunday Journal magasine sec tions, the first of which is published today, and the others to follow after the New Tear. Mr. Euwer's unusually large following In the Northwest is partly due to the fact that he has spent many of his sum mers here and at Parkdale where rela tives live. His ability, as a platform aumorist has been proved on numerous occasions when he has appeared before Portland ' audiences in readings from his own writings. In hie poem. The Blood ot the Apple,, and his gallery of sketches from the life of the ranchers of the Hood River valley, Mr. Euwer got very close to the heart of the peo ple of Oregon, who will read with the keenest enjoyment his latest verses, "For Exchange," which accompany his drawing on the front cover of The Sun day Journal magasine today. As ao artiBt and illustrator,' Anthony Kuwer stands in the front rank. He says ba can scarcely reemember the v $ h , I r i v . 5 , ' 5 1 V s ; . .v...s Jr. il k , A is --04 V ss .

After leaving Princeton, several years at the Art Students teagoe tat New Tork put him where be could "Ulustrate his, tuft," which' he has never ceased to' do. He says that frequently "when an editor didn't like my drawings, be would" take my work for the sake of the verses, and sometimes when he didn't like my verses he would take the whole thing for the sake "of the drawings." .The gro tesque tabbies that romp through the pages of "Christopher Cricket on Cats" nave been reproduced in both American and English periodical His drawings nave ' appeared in Harper's, Scribner's. Collier's, Life and 'elsewhere. ,Hla pas tel and water colors of the great Northwest and of the batUe-ecarred re gions of Franc have added greatly to his record aa a painter. ' .-; ' ' . , As a personality, Anthony Euwer hi not very tall, and. he's -not very ehort. not very light and not very dark. He's not as thin as Abraham Lincoln, nor -as fat aa Irvia Cobb, neither ibleeaed nor cursed with bodily eccentricities. He's rather usual, in fact But somehow or' other, he manages to get you going, and you let him walk into the cosy corner" of your soul without any question. .- As he creates pictures when he paints in color, ao, too. floes he create them when he paints with the spoken or written word. One might even carry the simile farther and call him a master of. the art of makeup, for he makes old faces look young, ' and smiles grow where glumnese was or a tear perhaps where a smile had been. - BA5DIT8 GET ft MM ' 1 1 Toledo, Ohio, Dec 10.
