Interest, mlwayg at keen pitch, con cerning the activities and departure of women from this country, who are offering their services across the water for the period of the war, has been heightened the past week by the thrill Lag story of the sixteen Smith College girls, who close behind the fighting line, under shell fire, did heroic relief work for W hours, practically without rest. Driving ambulances, giving aid to the wounded, eooiing and serving food to the refugees, the Smith College unit under the leadership of Mrs. Bar rett Andrews gave one of the most impressive demonstrations of woman's work in the war. - Women not only from the east and the south, twit also from the west, have pone abroad in large numbers, inspir ed by the moving impntee to be of vi tal" aid to the jrreat arena of suffering over seas.

Mrs. Roosevelt was in Washington, so the story goes, when ."omoibody "tipped her off to the fact that congress was about to pass a law prohibiting the wives of officers who are in France from obtaining pass ports to .go to that country. Without waiting for confirmation of the rumor :iho hastened to New York, took last minute passage on a French" liner, not oven waiting to go home and pac.lt a trunk or even a .suitcase. Consequently she was already on ner way when the order went into etfect. That her scheme found success will meet wilth he hearty approval of many who have ccmo under benefit of kier kindness In France. She has been un'iring in her efforts to give the heme touch as .much as possible to the American boys over "there, and one fact for which she has earned their undy in gra'itude is that in the canteen in which she works she insists on serv ing a regular American breakfast, and at whatever hour the soldier or sailor may call, he can be assured of finding as manv .pieces of genuine old fash ioned pie as his appetite could demand. There is apple pie, there is peach pic. mince pie hot and cold are served, and even the faithful squash and pump kin pies are there to delight the Am erican appetite. These are only one or two of the interesting plana that she, ha carried through for the comfort and well being of- her fellow country men. Miss Klsie Victor was a recent Port land1 visitor.

Teaching Practical Things In Salem High School The girls of today in the Salem high school arc getting 3ome practical ideas, not only in sewing and cooking, but also in home bookkeeping that will b of real value in after life as a means of keeping track of either their own or of somebody elses money. Merritt Davis, head of the commer cial department of the city -schools is offering a course in home bookkeeping to the girls in the high school, teaching them how to keep a record of incomes and tho expenditures of a family. Also how to conduct the buying for a family without wastefulness. , The teaching also endeavors to Im part into the girl's mind the idea of thrift and that a small amount of money should be saved even an a limit ed income. The students are showing a deep in terest in this practical work, Mr. Davis reports, and many are already putting into practice in their homes the idea of ; keeping account of personal expendi ' tures and endeavoring to save a little jeach month. Last year Mr. Davis supplied many merchants and offices with young tu dents from his commercial department. This year the demand for help especial ly that of stenographers and book keepers has been greater than the sup ply, but there will be, a number who will graduate .his spring ready to ac cept posiionf He is now offering to place these students in offices and business fcou es for a part of the time each day, jil6 to give the student the experience.

Regular Qiicta for Willamette Chapter Cannot Be Filled Unless Workers Come Right now when it is more than prob able that Salem boys are fighting for their lives against the- desperate Huns, Salem women are falling down in their work of providing tne Red Cross with Salem's share (If 'surgical dressings. This does not of course apply to the faithful few who have practically left their homes and given all their time to the work of this department at the postoffice. The quota for Salem each month is as follows: 10 boxes of split .- irrigation pads, packing 60 to a box, - 2 boxes of absorbent pads, packing 338 to the box. 1 box of folded compresses, packing 5,000 to the box. The allotment for Salem is 16 boxes each month and an allotment means that surgical headquarters at Seattle rely en the patriotic- women of the city to send its full quota. To make, pack and properly prepare the monthly quota of 6,600 pieces of surgical dressings, for the past week or so the help has hardly averaged a dozen a day. Some days barely half a dozen of the faithful have reported. Other days, fifteen to twenty have helped, but there has not been by any means the number of volunteers neces sary to relieve those who have been working overtime in order that " the dressing might bo shipped out on time. Many of he high senool and univers ity girls, who have been doing tho fold ed compresses, will soon not be avail able after the close of school. The work of making tho 5,000 compresses required each month will now full on the women There is a feeling among thono who have been so faithful that if the wo men of Sf.lein only knew the necessity of sending out these surgical dress ings, especially since the Salem boys arc on tho fighting line, thero would be voluntiers enough to carry on tho work An average, of 25 women re porting regularly for a half day's work tw3 or three times a week wouid keep the work going.
