Caps and CoyeralIs.

Caps and coverall aprons must be
worn by all workers in the surgical
dressings department. Red Cross
headquarters at Seattle have asked
us to enforce this regulation Mrs.
Graham and few helpers have made
a dozen or so aprons for this purpose
which will be on sale at local head
quarters for dollar, to those unable
to provide the proper apron for
themselves. Head coverings, howev-
er, each worker must furnish for her
self. There have been too many will
full attempts to poison these surgical
dressings, such as that lately exposed
in Cleveland, where 8, 400 dressings
were found infected with a greenish
poison mysteriously acquired some
where in transit between Toledo and
Cleveland, for us who are loyal to
run the least risk of unintentionally
injecting them.

uniformly good manners of Boy
Scouts the world over. They are al
ways interested in something, not
only for an hour or two one day in
the week, but every waking hour of
every day.
Many thousands of boys are anx-
iously waiting for opportunities 10
take this course, but owing to the
difficulty of finding instructors and
leaders fit to be given charge of boys
the movement has as yet been unable
to meet all the demands made upon
it.
This is why the good people are be-
ing asked to supply the means neces-
sary to carry on this work. There
isn't any money in it for those who
are behind the movement, but there
is lots of good, hard work. The re-
suits are so very satisfactory that
no one complains. but every one
stands ready to do even more be-
cause of these splendid results.
You have heard what President
Wilson has said more than once
about the value of the Boy Scouts to
the government. Members of the
cabinet and heads of departments of
the government have spoken again
and again of the efficiency of these
trained boys.
And they are just beginning to
show what they can do, and whatever
/ Scout can do well he is willing to

liable wherever he is placed
The English, French and Italian
Boy Scouts are winning high praise
or their splendid service with the
hospital units, as dependable messen-
,ers and as assistants to heads of de.
'artments.
There is something in the training
hat specially fits boys for promptly
nd intelligently discharging re-
pOnsible duties.
Let us have it in the highest de-
rec. We have the bows. and we
ave training talent, and the Lord
nows the money is here.

II. II. MOVE MEANS
GREATER EFFICIENCY

Here are some of the effects to be
felt Immediately from federal govern
ment possession and operation of the
railways in Oregon and Washington,
in common with those of all other
states for the period of the war, as
stated in the Portland Telegram:
Suspension of established rules and
regulations of the interstate COM
merce commission and of the state
commissions governing demurrage
charges on cars held in detention and
substitution of military orders re-
quiring immediate loading of cars by
shippers and unloading by receivers
of freight.
Pooling of cars of all transporta-
tion lines and routing shipments by
most direct routes, tending speedily
to terminate shortage of equipment.
Operation of all lines as integral
parts of one system.
Elimination of conflicts over pri-
ority of shipments for war purposes
and standardizing of regulations per-
tanning to such movements.
Complete embargoing of freight
movements not essential to the sue
cessful prosecution of the war.
reduction of passenger train serv-
Ice between Portland and Puget
sound by requiring three trains to
perform the service now using nine
trains, cutting out duplication of
Portland-Spokane trains and other
service for passengers where power,
fuel and men can be conserved.
Termination of competitive solicit
ing of traffic, closing offices of gen
eral agents and turning the services
of men so released to general traffic
offices and at functions and termi-
nails where there is a shortage of
men called away by war duty.
Increased freight rates as a means
toward making effective government
for profitable return on
railroad investments.

DOUGLAS COUNTY
HAS TALLEST MAN

Douglas county is still able to "go
over the top" in the face of all com
petitors according to the Roseburg
Review. She now comes forward
with young man Of draft age who
makes solemn oath to the fact that
he is exactly 116 inches tall and
weighs l26 pounds-only little bet
ter than one pound to the inch. He's
worth his weight in gold. This in
formation is included in the answers
written in his questionable.
A few days ago a Clackamas county
youth filled out his QUESTIONABLE
giving his height as ia inches and
his weight as 1856. This stood for the
record in the high jump, but now
comes our own county to the front
with the longest bet.
Deputy Sheriff T A. Rafferty, Is
keeping the whereabouts of this fell
low, who is feet and s inches tall,
and weighs about right for a nice,
plump, 16-year-old girl, a profound
secret. With few more like him
available there will soon be an end
to the war, and should the kaisers
agents ever get him located they
would surely make some effort to de-
stroy him before he gets across the
pond.
These elongated youths are all to
be assembled and sent to the front
for special service. They will be en-
listed as aeroplane oilers, and their
duties will be to refill the gas tanks
and oil the bearings of the airships
while the machines are in the air.

This last is very important consid-
Grafton in France, where, on account
OF scarcity of fuel, hot water is on
tap only two days in the week. Most
of the clothes are washed in near
by streams and rubbed between
stones. This fact makes 1t necessary
to use only the most durable materi-
ais for garments that must survive
such rough usage. This chance to do
plain sewing at home will enlist, it
is hoped, many women unable to give
time to outside work Begin now to
save pieces of cloth large enough to
construct these small garments.

What IL Costs to
Make a Boy Scout

Things that are really worth while
are more or less expensive. for really
worthwhile teachers command goo1
wages, and only that kind are worth
while when it comes to training boys
to make men of them, says Erasmus
Wilson, a noted newspaper writer.
Thera is only one thing out OF
which you can make man, and that
is a boy Always keep that in mind.
And don't forget that the man will
he what the boy was as he turned
into manhood. Up to this time he Is
subject to training but after that
point has been reached the chances
for making sood man of him are
slim indeed.
Has it ever occurred to you tha,
practically every bum. vagabond or
worthless fellow would have been d
man altogether worth while if he had
had the training given to Boy Scouts?
Well, it's fact that every one of
these pests of society are fair sam
pies of failures due to a lack of
proper training.
And this suggests that the only
way in which to get rid of these is
to stop making them and allow those
already made to die off, then the
world will be free from them, and
not until then.
There must be an executive head /
to every Scout organization and no
man is too good for this job, and /
good men are always able to com
mand good pay Who wants cheap
man for anything?
Then there have to be field mel
who give their entire time and at
tention to the various troops, aui
see that the work goes on uniformly.
1t is money well spent
The only way in which to effectual-
ly kill weeds and harmful growths
is to get at the roots and kill them
off. There isn't much use in fight
ing their tops or pulling their leaves
off as long as the roots are allowed
to exist
The chief root. the very top roof
of mischief is idleness, or, more cor
rectly speaking, want of interest upon
the part of the boy. If you succeed
in interesting him you have got him,
sure, for he will follow that which
interests him most.
Besides, when he is interested in

Days for Surgical Dressings.

The days for making surgical
dressings have been changed to
Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.
We no longer have the inner room
where this work was formerly car
ried on, and this has made it neces-
sary to assign separate days for the
two lines of work, the sewing and
knitting sections retaining the old
days, Wednesdays and Fridays. while
the surgical dressings will take Tues
days and Thursdays, also Monday
evenings.

A Personal Letter From a Soldier.
Out of the more than 10000
Christmas packets furnished by the
northwestern division, A. r. c., to
Camp Lewis, shipment so huge
that it filled four box cars, one at
least has been acknowledged. A let
ter of thanks was received recently
by Mrs. j, NJ. Wagner from the young

share fell the packet prepared by
Mrs. Wagner and in which she had
placed personal note. saying that
she herself had a boy in the service
and that she wished him all luck.

Railway executives and operating
and traffic officials are, generally, as
gratified as are bankers and investors
in railway securities over the an
nouncement from Washington that
the country's transportation lines
will be possessed and operated for
the remainder of the war period as a
part of the nations military organiza-
tion. In every quarter the probable
effects of the war order to control
the physical and financial operations
of the railways have been freely dis
cussed. Opinion prevails that the re-
suits will be beneficial to the nations
war activities, its wartime industries
and to the business life ofithe coun-
try. Some there are whose optim-
ism does not extend to the wide range
of possible and immediate resulting
benefits. but the list of probable eff
