COUNTIES RECEIVE
TIMBER REVENUES
Funds From Forest Reserve
Rentals Received From
Government.

This year the state received from
the federal government $95, 1920 as
the states share of the revenue from
forest reserve rentals and sales of tim
Der within forest reserves in this state
for the year ending juno 30, 1918.
This sum represents 25 per cent of the
total receipts from these counties.
Secretary of State Olcott has appor-
toned the fund among the counties en-
titled to the money under the proyis-
ions of a law enacted by the 1917
legislature This law provides for an
adjustment of certain overpayments
made in the past to a number of coun-
ties and consequently underpayments
to other counties. As a result of this
adjustment Marion county received no
share of the fund this year, as it had
been overpaid in the past.
Following is the total amount re-
ceived by each county:
Baker $10,64797; Deschutes, s77s.3S;
Douglas, $6,65S.55; Grant, $22, 1926;
Harney, So, 47204; jackson, $ll. .392.91; /;

THE FIRST SQUARE MEAL
How Red Cross Has Fed Italian
Prisoners.

Last spring the Red Gross workers
at Berne were busy arranging to care
for the American soldiers who were
taken prisoners by the Germans, and
now the new exchange agreement
means that Italians from Austria on
their way back to Italy are being
cared for In hundreds. They are pa
thetic lot, these "grand blesses"-the
hopelessly wounded men-but they are
always delighted with the prospect of
going home, even though 1t may be
going home to die. Nearly ali of them
are tubercular.
The method employed Is this: The
Italian Government sends train into
Austria through Switzerland to gather
up the men released under the ex-
change agreement. The train crosses
the Swiss border and at Buchs Is met
by delegations from the allied Red
Cross organizations, and under the
present plan the food is furnished by
the American Red Cross. To many of
these men this Is the first square meal
that they have had for years. Cloth
ing Is also furnished them. Each man
of the 800 which each train carries Is
given cigarettes and small American
flag, and many who have been in
America, some of whom have taken
out their first papers, are oyerjoyed at
the bit Of red, white and blue and most
demonstrative in their delight.
The representatives of the Red Cross
remain on the train Until IL reaches
Zurich, then return to Switzerland
again.
It Is the food which America has
sent over which gives to these men
their first meal-food which has been
saved hy eating smaller portions, and
by going without.

| thy was something which
would hide their awful scars and dis
Ifigurations. To replace missing arm
or leg or hand or foot is easy enough.
But to replace face or the part Of
one-that was a real problem.
| And a woman solved that problem
It is true that mere man, Captain
Derwent Wood, an English sculptor,
conceived the idea Of making masks
ifor the mutiles, but 1t remained for
Mrs. Maynard Ladd, an American
lsculptor, living In Paris, to perfect the
work and to materlallze masks which
would replace torn and missing tissue
SO naturally that the wearer would be
able to live out his life in comparative
happiness.
Mrs. Ladd Is an artist Of internation-
al repute. Born in Philadelphia. she
was educated in private schools, going
to Paris and Rome, where for more
than twenty years she worked with
Professors Ferrari and Gallori. She
exhibited In the Paris salon, in this
country and in London. In 1918 she
exhibited forty bronzes at Gorham's
in New York and at the Corcoran Art
Gallery In Washington. She received
an honorable mention for her work at
the Panama Exposition. incidentally
she is an author, having published sew
eral novels.
Captain Woods original conception
was to make mask to fit those por-
tions Of the face missing. If the chin
was missing then the mask would ex-
tend only over the chin. If the cheek
was missing then the Scared portion
would be covered. The question to be
solved by Mrs. Ladd was in the manu-
facture Of the masks. They had to be
light, yet strong, of some composition
(which would not tarnish and would re-
tain the color placed upon Its exterior
surface.

After considerable experimentation
Mrs. Ladd hit upon thin copper as hav-
ing sufficient strength. Then she de-
cided to have the base plated with sill
yer to give 1t better finish. Next
came the method to be employed In fit
ting the masks. Consultations with
surgeons brought to light the fact that
nothing could be done with mutiles
until several months after their wounds
had healed completely, as the tissues
contracted even after complete cicatri-
cation had, taken place.
Eventually a perfected method was
evolved. When the mutile has been
nursed back to health and the tissue
and muscles have done contracting
