Portland.— Am erica'» great program
for conquering the Hun in the air la

northweat ha» the pralae of the nation
fur the part It la playing In aircraft
production; Colonel Hrlce P. Dlsque
and hla men, who aro achieving gratl
fylng reaulta In fumlahlng material»
for the aircraft fleet, will have the
chance to follow the finished ma< hlnea
acroaa to France— theae were the vital
point» In the message delivered In
person by John D. Ilyan, t t M t d of
aircraft production, speaking before
thousanda of hla workers at Vancouver
barracka.
Assurance that the United States Is
beginning to carry through Ita air
craft making alma with entire succeas
was given In no Indefinite phrases by
Mr. Kyan. He talked In terms of mil
lions of feet of spruce and fir and
after giving the Liberty motor hearty
pralae. made known that the govern
inent has now placed ordera for 60,000
o f them to go Into the planes in sight
Hcartleat cheers evoked from the
thousanda o f sturdy apruceworkera be
fore him were called forth by Director
Ryan's
explanation
that
Colonel
Dlsque, just as soon as the spruce-
production work has been advanced
to meet requlrementa, la to take
regiment of his men for duty In
France.
This was the first official tacit ac
knowledgment that the work of pro
duclng spruce Is soon to be turned
over to business hands and taken from
the military organization, the Spruce
Production division, to which it was
first Intrusted. Rumors that this ac
tlon Impended have been current, es
pactally since the Spruce Proc ¡ctlon
division was separated from the Uni
ted States Signal corps.
Neither Colonel Dlsque nor Mr
Kyan would comment on the question
as to how long It may be before the
release of the khakl-clad loggers, mill
men and clerical workers from pro
duction duties here for fighting prlv
Iteges "over there," may come. They
did make It plain that only fit, select
members of the provisional regiments
to go Into the many thousands of
planes In sight.
German Field Marshal Slain.
Amsterdam. — Field Marshal von
Klchhorn. German representative and
military tyrant In the Ukraine, was
assassinated In Kiev Tuesday by Boris
Dansklo.
This tragedy comes at
time when the shots that killed Von
Mlrbach. the kaiser's diplomatic agent
In Moscow, are still echoing through
out Russia.
As in the case of Von Mlrbach. the
slaying of Von Klchhorn marks a blow
struck by the Social Revolutionists.
Captain von Dressier, adjutant of
Von Klchhorn, perished with his su
perlor when a bomb was hurled by i
young revolutionist Into the carriage
In which the two Germans were drlv
Ing.
The assassin, who is 23 years of age.
Is In custody, as Is the driver of the
cab from which the bomb was thrown
The cab drove close to the carriage
as the Germans were approaching the
field marshal's residence at the Casino.
It has been established, a telegram
from Kiev declares, that the assassins
tlon originated with the Social Revolu
tlonists In Moscow.
Dansklo, the assassin, declared at
the Inquiry following his arrest, the
Kiev dispatch says, that he came from
the province of Ryazan, adjacent to
Moscow, on orders from a communist
committee, to kill the field marshal.
White Star Liner Sunk.
London.— The W hite Star liner Jus
ticia. a vessel of about 32,000 tons and
recently engaged In the transporta
tion of American troops across the
Atlantic, has been torpedoed and sunk
off the north Irish coast.
The casualties, according to latest
reports, were only ten. There were
no troops aboard, but the vessel, which
was on her way back to the United
States, carried a crew o f over 600.
The Justicia was sunk only after a
fight with submarines that lasted 24
hours. A member of the crew Is quot
ed as saying that ten torpedoes were
discharged at the vessel.
Mr. McAdoo Demands Cash.

SAND PILE KEEPS TOTS BUSY
Affords One of the Greatest Amuse
ment for Youngsters— Can Model
Clay Designs.
What else Is there with which little
children’s hands can be kept more sat
isfactorily occupied than sand? Just
turn the children loose In a pile or
table o f sand, with a spoon, a pall,
n cup or anything with which they can
dig or shovel.
You do not like sand In the house?
I f you have a suitable place for It.
It need not make any trouble. An old
kitchen table turned upside down,
with the legs cut short and put on the
other side, makes a good table for
sand. A piece o f burlap or denim
placed under the table keeps the sand
from being scattered over the house.
With clay, a simple little cradle may
be made. The child first rolls a piece
Into a ball, cuts It I t half with a
string. One c f these halves forms the
lower part o f the cradle. The other
lie cuts ln two, using one piece for the
top and remodeling the other Into a
"ball for baby."
Birds' nests with eggs can be made
with clay; also apples, oranges, cups
and saucers, and even animals may be
attempted.
Hats Off for Hair.
Keep your hat off as much as pos
sible. H air cannot Ue too easily or
loosely for Ita own health, and that of
the nerves and head. Anything like
pressure, heat or strain nbout the head
will Injure the brain and the finest
parts o f the nervous system. Pulling
the hair up too tightly from the back
o f the head and ears will cause the
glands o f the neck to swell. Notice
what a relief It is to take all your hair
pins out o f the hair and let It hang
loose for 11 few hours.
I f you adopt an easy, artistic and
natural hair dressing, nervousness will
disappear and headaches w ill be un
known. It Is not only beneficial to
the growth o f the hair, but to the
nerves of the head to wear It tied with
a ribbon at the nape o f the neck, free
of hairpins, whenever possible.
