BATTLES TO SHIFT TO SKIES Cloud Flight Across Atlantic likely T John D. Ryan Tells of Work Being Done in West. TALKSTO SPRUCE UNIT A u u n n r « Given That United Htatr» Is Beginning to Carry Through Alrrraft Program. Portland.— Am erica'» great program for conquering the Hun in the air la faat fruiting Into realization; the 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.

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. ¡.hnwn’ t i a°brlef fltad'wMh th/rnm ' Vegetables— Tomatoes, $101.75 per Phasing and attractive drees.
