They ;ii 11 agreed to use their utmost ef forts to confine Christmas giving, ex cept for young children, to useful articles and to spread the period for holiday purchases over the months of October, November, and December. In order to relieve the transportation facilities of the country from a con gestion in the Interests of the nation that It cannot be permitted, the retail Interests represented at this hearing have agreed o cooperate further in the campVlgn heretofore and now being carried on under the ausplnes of the War Industries Board to re strict deliveries and to Induce their customers to carry their own pack ages wherever possinle. The retail interests to which re ference hai been made have further agreed to make an announcement to the above substantial effect in their advertisements commencing in early September ami repeating same week ly thereafter. The above suggestions If faithfully and loyally put Into ef fect throughout the country will make possible a continuance of the holiday custom without endangering the national Interests thereby. The Council of National Defense will cooperate in carrying out the suggested measures. It looks to or ganized business bodies of every nature and throughout the country actively to Join In the movement as providing means whereby that co operation between the government and the people can be had which alone will permit the continuance of holiday business In such form, on such scale, and by such methods as are consistent w'lth the national wel iaru. This announcement is definit ly conditioned upon loyul and thor ough cooperation in spirit and In letter on the part of sellers and buy ers throughout the country. The Oregon State Council of He- feiiM- lius therefore adopted a resolu tion as follows, to which your at tention N especially directed: The State Council of Defer.Be. hold .h.i to 1 ii" cardinal prinolpls of its original resolution, that Christmas giving for the season of 1 !) 1 S should embody the elements of Simplicity.

Very truly yours JOHN K. KOLLOCK. Executive Secretary. Bade date of September 3rd, 191. tbu Council ol National Defense au thorizes the following statement: The Council of National Defense iiaa heretofore emphasized the neces sity of restricting Christmas buying i.orlnx Uie coming fall for certain wpeHflr. reasons which It has stated. These reasons are In brief the neces sity for saving labor and material In the manufacture and sale of Christ aa gifta and of saving the transport iitlon and delivery facilities necessar ily involved In the large volume of Ctirfctma purchases. After conference with representa tives of leading Industries and retail iutareats concerned, It is found that he manufacture of goods for the coming holiday season has been sub- 'tant tally completed, that the trans portation of the goods to the point of hi also largely one and that much of the material used for ChrlBt- purchases, especially In the luufacture of toys, Is the waste iterlal derived from prior pro- tts or manufacture. The retail Interests represented at the conference have agreed not to iu-a-ease their working force by reason f Ilia holiday business over the aver THAWIXfJ URKB.N 'J'OMATOKS U-Boats Have Murdered Thousands. There Is a danger lest famlllarltv. even wlih such a monstrous crime as j unrestricted I'-boat warfare, should breed Indifference to Its enormity. sn.vs an nchenge, Therefore, it is i well to bear Iti mind thin, except when I the attack Is made on Ago ting ships or ! transports carrying lighting men, the torpedoing of ships and sending men to their death far out lit sen.

About forty tulles from Flagstaff, Atlz., In the midst of a gnat plain. there Is a saucer-shaped hollow or rater about Ihree-qiiarters of a mile BCroaa ami dot) feel deep. The rim of (he crater rises between lfjQ mid -'(JO feet above the surrounding plain. Itocky fragments are scattered about for several miles around tl rater. Among these rocks many fragments of meteoric lion, - ntalnliig black diamonds, have been found. The in tier walls show that the crust of the earth was broken whan the crater was lormiii, yet no volcanic locks exist there. Geologists have offered theories to account for this phenomenon, tine Is Hint an Immense meteorite made the hole, and Hint the meteoric fragments mentioned ON remnants of the fulling elar. Another theory ascribes the origin of the crater to a tremendous explosion of steam In the rocks be neath, and a third combines the first two by suggesting that the blow of a I falling meteor, striking the earth's crust at a point where Kiihtemineim water bud accumulated in the neigh borhood of healed rocks was the cause of the explosion. il green tomutes that have been "touched'' by the frost are dropped while still old into cool water and allowed to stand for a while they are less likely to spoil rapidly than If al lowed to warm up more quickly.
