WAR CALL FINDS
WOMEN PREPARED
FOR VITAL WORK
Heartstrings Bind Oregon Homes
Close to French Battlefields-
Fighters' Hands Upheld
By Mrs. Hazel Pedlar Faulkner
"Twenty-six Americans cited tor
conspicuous bravery and valor."
Your heart thrilled, too, to that
news, which now has been repeated
many times. The little shivers of
pride ran down your spinal columns,
women of Oregon, as you read of the
things those boys did over there. And
honestly, down in your heart, didn't'
you Bay, for the thousandth time, "I
wish I could do something worth
while!"
Something worth while of course
you can.
You can do something immensely
worth while, just now, for those same
boys and all their kind.
You can make possible the contin
uation of their deeds of valor and
heroism. You can help them put an
end to the need for sucli sacrifice and
hardships as they have been com
pelled to make.
MAKE DEEDS OF
VALOR POSSIBLE
You are the instruments chosen for
a great work, and the time for service
is here.
The Government is asking you once
more to bring out your hidden treas
ure the dollars you have been care
fully putting away for some special
need. The call for the Fourth Lib
erty Loan has been sounded. Our
country's challenge to our patriotism
has been voiced once more.
Oregon women have a record for
loyal response to all of the previous
IiOans. Theirs has been a generous
reply to the country's war need.
The daily llBts of names of Amer
ican boys who have given their all for
their country have found Oregon's
sons among the number. It is for
such as fltQMHBt j for the things for
which they fought and fell, that the
aid of the folks at home Is sought.
Ours is a lesser part, but it is an es
sential part.
PATRIOTISM
CHALLENGES
The report of what women all over
the -United States did for the Third
Liberty Loan is an inspiring page in
tho history of united war effort. From
east to west, from Canada to the Gulf
of Mexico the story is the same. Ev
erywhere the women came forward,
bringing their dollars for the Loan.
What they will do in this Fourth
Liberty Loan will be no less credit
able. Tho time for questioning is
past. The day of speculation Is gone.
Here and now, with one aim and one
purpose, you women of Oregon in line
wllh your sisters from all over the
land, will march in the army behind
the khakl-clad boys over yonder, fur
nishing tl.o funds not alone for the
successful carrying on of the war
that wo are plcdgod to do, but for
the speedy complete dereat of the
enemy.
Money means power in this struggle
between the right and wrong. Dollars
spoil success In the conflict lor right
eousness. Yours 'Is a vital part In the
struggle, women of Oregon, the
"thing worth while" Is yours to do
NOW.

An Awful Disease.
A friend of mine In one of the camps
In a corporal. The occupants of the
barracks across the road had been In
quarantine for measles. Occasionally
one of the men was moved to the hos
pital. My friend was stricken wltll ti
severe -enee of tonslUtls and one morn
ing the ambulance stopped to take him
to the bate hospital.
As lje entered the ambulance one
soldier t said, "Has he got the
measles!" ,
A second one, "No, he's a corporal."
The first one nswered with a groan,
'Good Lord, that just as built" Chi-
m mm .
German "Efficiency" has never eached a higher plane than
in the foul desecration of the Red Cross emblem in the bombing of
plainly marked hospitals in the allied lines.
"Here are many allied officers and men," says the Kaiser.
"If they were not wounded, they might dodge our glorious air
planes as bombs are dropped. Being wounded, they cannot move,
and so they are killed in their beds or in the air as their beds are
blown out from under them,
"Gott being with US, let us blow up all the Red Cross hospitals
we can." ,
So the "Greatest Mother in the World" remains a shining
mark for the "Superbeast's" efficient elimination of his enemies.
Since Allied airplanes have become regular visitors to German
cities, the Kaiser has discovered such bombing to be a violation of
international law.
Your subscription to the Fourth Liberty Loan will mark the
earnestness of your approval of the building of great fleets of
American airplanes to bring their frightfulness home to the Hun.
Hash.
War 1ms not changed the American
darkey. A dusky cook of an American
regiment now In France was being
lulzzed by an officer about the cleanli
ness of that free-for-all army product
known us liasli.
"How do you make your hash ?" duti
fully Inquired the officer.
"We don't make It, boss," was the
answer. "It just accumulates."
Verbal.
"It was a quiet Fourth."
"Decidedly."
"I don't think I heard a single explo
iion all day."
"I heard one."
"Cannon cracker?"
"No. I passed n motorist who had
lust had a breakdown. He was ad
Iresslng a few remarks to his car."

Many Small Creatures Make Contribu
tions to the Country's Wealth of
No Insignificant Amount
We have many Insect products of no
small value. Most familiar are honey
and wax from the bee.
There is also a Chinese bug which
secretes n kind of grease on various
trees. This hardens into wax, and Is
collected, melted and purified, when It
becomes white and glossy In appear
ance, and when mixed with oil can be
made Into candles. The cochineal, a
scale Insect living on cacti In the Amer
ican tropics, besides having medicinal
qualities, yields the two dyes called
carmine and lake. While nowadays
most dyes ore chemically made, the
natural dye of the cochineal is em
ployed In coloring soldiers' uniforms,
as It stands the weather better than
commercial dyes. The pupae of a Mex
ican black fly which swarms In great
quantities near Lake Texcoa are used
as fertilizer. No enlargement Is need
ed on the work of the precious silk
worm a native of China which is now
raised here also. Commercial shellac
Is obtained by melting lac, the resinous
substance produced by an East Indian
scale insect and deposited in a crust
on twigs to contain the Insect and Its
eggs. The export value of lac from
Indian ports In one year has risen as
high as 33,000,000 rupees. Lac has also
been used to make dyes, but while the
lac Industry Is a growing one, the em
ployment of lac In making dyes has
probably had Its day. The bent lac is
obtained from Bengal and the central
province of India. It is also used as
stiffening for hats, sealing wax, as an
ingredient of lithographic Ink, In elec
trical work and In the manufacture of
gramophone records.
SPRING FESTIVAL IN CHINA

Beginning of the Year Is a Time of
Rejoicing Throughout the
Whole Country.
In the United States one knows that
spring has come when he sees boys
playing marbles and flying kites. In
China, says the Christian Science
Monitor, there are regular sprlng-play-lng
festivals that all the people have
a part In and which are especially In
teresting for children.
Just when the spring festival comes
depends on the moon. It Is the be
ginning of the year in China, and in
the first moon the magistrates and oth
er Important persons In the town go
out In a procession "to meet the
spring."
It Is at the lantern festival, the 15th
of the first month, that the children
have the best time. Brightly colored
lanterns are everywhere, at the doors
of shops and houses, and carried In
processions. Boughs of evergreen are
also placed above the doors, and there
Is an abundance of "moon cakes," lit
tle round sweet rice cokes. ' ,
The boys dress up In all sorts of fan
tastic clothes, sing, dance and give lit
tle plays. They wear masks of ani
mals and of human faces. Companies
of them go about through the streets
of their villages, and from one village
to another. Now nnd then a, group of
maskers will be seen on high stilts.
There Is a very pretty dance where
every dancer carries n lighted lantern.
This Is called the lantern dance.
Explaining "Mlzpah."
MIzpah or Mlspeh Is the name of
several towns In Palestine. The name
Is derived from a. verb of the ancient
Hebrew signifying to look or watch
out. The word occurs In several places
In the Old Testament The first men
tion is the most significant. Jacob and
his prospective father-in-law, Laban,
met on a slope of Mt. Gilead and en
tered Into a covenant. Laban had sev
eral times violated his agreement as
to the wages he was paying Jacob,
and Jacob demanded a fair deal. When
tbey came to en agreement they raised
n monument of stones, which Laban
declared should be called "Gnleed, and
Mlzpnh." "This heap shall be a wit
ness between me and thee this day.
The Lord watch between me and thee,
when we are absent, one from the
other." This passage is used as a
benediction by the Young People's So
ciety of Christian Endeavor.
British Columbia's Coal.
Writing of the discovery of coal In
British Columbia, Johnson In hts "First
Things In Canada," states: "One day
in December, 1840, an officer of the
Hudson's Bay company In Fort Vic
toria was Informed by the foreman of
the blacksmith's shop that an old Na
nulmo Indian chief had just stated that
he knew where there was 'stuff' like
that which the white man was using In
the blacksmith's fire. The Indian was
told that If he would bring some pieces
of the 'stuff' he would have his gun
repaired free and receive a bottle of
rum. The chief reappeared In the fol
lowing April (1850) with his canoe
laden with coal. A prospecting party
went out and found the coal where the
city of Nanalmo now stands. In 1874
the production of coal from the Na
nalmo mines amounted to 1,000 tons;
in 1800 It exceeded 1,000,000 tons.
Census of a Vacant Lot
In a little town In Illinois George N.
Wolcott conducted an Investigation to
find out how many animals or, rather,
forms of animal life Inhabited an
acre of city land, says Popular Science
Monthly. The count In a city lot, ob
tained by multiplying the contents of
a bucketful by the figures required for
an acre, disclosed the fact that there
were between li.OOO.OOO and 2,500,000 of
grasshoppers, locusta, crickets, cock
roaches, earwigs, lantern files, plant
lice, aphlds and other "bugs" In one
acre of land.
There will be, of course, a large va
riation In the count according to the
season in which It Is made. For ex
ample, there Is a one-third Increase In
the population In the spring over that
In the autumn owing to the rapid mul
tiplication of earthworms.
The Lowly Cinder.
Iiong despised as a waste product,
the humble cinder Is coming Into Its
own. For years cinders were anathe
matised because the only purpose they
seemed to fill was to get Into one's
eye bat with tho widespread use of
MPtV ctadan ctgpje m M
Dase for cement sidewalks, cellar bot
toms, etc. As a porous material to
carry water away from a cellar a few
feet of cinders placed around the foot
ings make excellent drainage, while as
a fill for holding wooden sleepers In
place In concrete, cinders mixed with
cement make a light, firm bond. As a
base for driveways, cinders, when water-bound,
and rolled or tamped, make
Arm foundation.
