Salem Asked To Raise
$3.50 For Library Fund;
Work at Fair Next Week

This is liberty week, not only in Sa-
lem but in every city in the country.
Out of the quota of 81, 200 900 asked
for libraries end equipment for the sol
diers, Salem's quota is $3.50, and the
liberty board expects the patrons of the
library as well as other good citizens
to show a patriotic spirit.
The plan is to raise $3.50 in one dol
lar donations, although this one dollar
is not the limit. One lady today at
the library gave $40. The first man to
respond to the call for a subscription
was DR.. R. E. Lee Steiner.
Miss Flora Case, librarian, said today
that many people were responding to
the call by sending in their subscrip-
tions by mail and other calling person
ely. The amount $3.50 is the sum Salem
must subscribe and the board of the
library hopes that subscriptions will
Gene in freely and that it will not be
necessary to make personal solicitation.
At the fair grounds next week a booth
will be established in the old pavilion,
under the personal charge of Miss Mabel
Withycombe. She will be assisted each
day by patriotic organizations inelud-
ing the LADIES of the G. A. R., Woman's
corps, w. C. It. u, Daughters
of the American Revolution and other
organizations.

THOUSAND
MEN THREATEN STRIKE
ALI On Account of Employ
ment of One NOn-UniOn
LOngshOreman

New York, Sept. 19.-With $500 men
employed on docks of the International
Mercantile Marine already striking,
New York Is today faces a
threatened tie up. Fifty thousand
men, according to officials of the
longshoremen IS union, are ready to
walk out in sympathy with the men
who are protesting against employment
by the company of a strikebreaker.
The company is standing by the man
at present, refusing to discharge him.
The first strike was called on the
White Star line docks. Later men
working on the Cunard and Atlantic
Transport line docks went out. Amer
lean line workers were allowed to con
tinue unloading an American liner be-
cause, officials said, they didn' It want
to emharrass the government by delay
ing mail.
Other men are out in Hoboken on
the Holland-American line piers. The
union claims far more men are out on
strike than is admitted by the com
pany officials, who persist in the state
ment that the strike will be settled.
Arbitration, agreed to some weeks ago,
it was said, had not been completed.
They insist the men broke an agree
ment by striking without an attempt at
settlement.
Government representatives are on
their way from Washington and are ex-
pected to arrive for a conference with
the men and officials of the company.

RED CROSS MUST
HAVE FUNDS AT ONCE
Local Chapter Short of Money
With Which To Buy
Needed Material

Here is a deplorable situation for the
Willamette chapter, American Red
Cross.
Unless funds are received at once for
the purchase of materials the work of
the $500 or more members of the chap
ter will stop. The treasury is absolute
ly empty and but a Acw yards of ma
terials remain at headquarters in the
U. S. National bank building.
To keep the LOG auxiliaries working
on hospital garments, the sum of $1,000
is required every month. While new
members were coming in, this amount
was received. But with the closing of
the membership campaign and no
money coming into the treasury, there
must either be some liberal donations,
or the entire work of the chapter come
to a stand still.
Since the work began, 90 of the
large shipping cases filled with hos
pital garments, have been shipped to
base headquarters. The yardage use
for the garment was 24,596. Two hun
dred and thirteen bolts of tape were
used and 1921 dozen safety pins be-
sides 2697 balls Of cotton.
The war fund received during the
campaign this summer was more for
national use although part of this
fund will be later available for the re-
lief of the families of soldiers and for
the amount Salem is to contribute to-
wards the University of Oregon Base
Hospital unit. Salem's quota is $1,000.
1t seems tue women of the one huh-
dred or more Red Cross auxiliaries
not only been working steady dur
ing the summer, but are willing to con-
tinue their work on hospital garments.
Whether they will or not depends en-
tirely on whether money enough is re-
ceived by the local Red Cross head
quarters to buy materials. If not, the
work will stop.

SHAKE The BOTTLE

A little Chiropraetie goes a long
way. One adjustment has been known
to in many cases overcome a severe
cold. Colds are harmless if attended to
early in their history, and very harmful
unless they are. Everybody expects to
take cold. May be that is the reason
so many people get one. Half the
philosophy (so-called) about colds is
nothing more than superstition.
We will put it strong. You can't
catch a cold while your body is in
normal condition. When you do catch
cold it is the first warning that some
thing is wrong. The Chiropraetor can
tell you what the something is and can
remove the cause of the ''rosiest" cold
making the rounds in short order.
The next time you feel a cold com
ing on, shake the bottle and try the
Chiropraetor, and avoid pneumonia.

Cross committees in charge have al
ready made arrangements. One of the
requirements is that of guarding tho
armory during their stay here, and this
work was assigned to the Salem Rifle
club. A call was issued by Mr.. Macy
Tor the meeting last evening, a call
for volunteers to serve about two hours
Sunday. Out of the 1S1 members, only
eight responded. 1t is probable that
members of the Mexican Border Service
and Spanish Wal veterans will be call
ed to assist in the work of guarding. No
one will be permitted near the armory
during the stay of the Liberty men
unless in possession of a pass.

By S. w. STRAUS

and teachers alike should rally to
the support of this work.
The science OF teaching thrift is
new. 1t has not yet reached the
stage of definite outline, but a
good start has been made. 1t is
the opinion of those who have
studied the question that thrift can
be taught in connection with the
studies of arithmetic, history,
grammar, English composition,
household economics, and possibly
others such as agriculture, hygiene,
manual training, etc. 1t will take
time to work out definite courses
of study, but the start is being
made now.
When we consider that in Amer
lea 9S out of every 100 of our citi-
zens, who reach the age of 60 are
dependent upon their daily earn
ings or on others for their sup
port, we realize that it is high tins
this matter were taken up thor.
oughly and scientifically.
If America is to be equipped Nith
thrifty men and women, capable
of holding their own in the con.
mercial struggle between natious,
their success will have to be based
on efficiency of which thrift is the
foundation.
Every parent and every school
teacher must realize that the teach
ing of thrift to our children is >
patriotic duty.

Editor Daily Capital Journal: L read
mat opposition has been established
to propaganda for the supplying of
cigarettes and tobacco to members of
the U. s. Army. May [ be allowed to
go on record as urging friends of sol
diers to do all in their power to assist
in any case which will ameliorate,
even in the slightest degree, the suf-
ferings, physical and mental, of soldiers
in the trenches of Europe?
No doubt the signoratories to the
resolution which would have the sol
diers refrain from using tobacco, are
sincere in their desire, and while it
may be well-meant, the resolution is
the outcome of a lack of knowledge of
conditions in the trenches.
AS at least n of the ~signators, to
my personal knowledge, probably can
testify, the use of tobacco has an un-
doubtedly, strong influence in steady
ing the nerves during any particularly
vicious mental strain.
And where, may I ask, Sir, is there a
greater strain on the mind and body
than in those diabolical inventions of a
hellish war, the trenches!
For centuries, it seems, when a man
is "in", he undergoes such mental tor
lures as might be only exceeded in a
~superlative purgatory. Physically, the
strain at times becomes unbearable to
the extent of even driving men to in
sanity. During the period in which
men are awaiting the time to attack,
so enormous is the strain that men lose
control over natural functions as the
muscles of the body involuntarily lose
their strength that the mind may be
allowed to retain full power of the
human constitution. That the poor,
tortured body might be allowed to 90
forward into, maybe, death.

trailing stencil, compared with which
