delegates, representing approxi-
mately 100000 men engaged in the

currence of several hundred opera
tors, says Ben Hur Lapman in the
Oregonian, the Loyal Legion Of Log

ated yesterday at peace-time pol
icy OF concord between employe and
employer, as it has been throughout
the war period.
"All those in favor Of continuing

quested Colonel Stearns. The house
rose to its feet. When the negative
vote was called for but six dele
gates voted for discontinuance."

Things are not always as they
should be, viz: At the present time
those recently elected to the Oregon
legislature seem to be working over
time in an endeavor to see who shall
be speaker, or president, instead OF
putting in overtime in an endeavor
to see how much good they can dc
for this old state.

One nice thing about the allies

should they decide to do so, is the
fact that In case the kaiser returned
they would have a reception commit

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES 4
By Alice Amen

BY Alice Ament
The past week was the last one In
the second quarter, and was. OF
course, test week" Students all
wore pre-occupied look, and any.
one coming suddenly into the study
room would have been startled al
the anxious drawn expression on
their faces. The cards were given
out Friday, and some were relieved
while others were plunged in gloom
The first part of the week was
broken up on account of the influ,
enza scare, but after the students
learned that school was to continue
they settled down to work, and the
influenza, as subject OF conversa'
tion, has been rather neglected.
There are a number absent from
high school. but only about one.
fourth Of the absentees are due to
the influenza. Many are staying out
because OF the scare created. and are
afraid OF contracting the disease. II
is a regrettable fact that there are
also some who are taking advantage
OF the lapse in attendance to remain
out for neither the scare nor the
FLU" AS the school work Is con-
I'm an hn aI he
made up by the students who are
absent.
The entertainment which was to
have been given last Friday at the
high school building was postponed
ON account of the influenza. 1t will
be given at some future date. to be
announced later.
A short time ago the manual
training department OF the local high
school was called upon to make 40
bedside tables fror the Red Cross.
These tables are now almost finish
ed, and will be ready to ship in
about four days. The boys in both
classes of manual training have
been working on the tables, and a
great deal OF credit is due them, as
they have put aside all work for
themselves during this time. Mr..
Wardrip, manual training instructor,
is well pleased with the work the
boys have done, the tables being
good evidence of their ability.

YANKEES ENJOY CHOW
Pershing's Husky Men Are All
 Good Eaters.
Variety in Uncle Sam's Menu Makes 1t Attractive-Doughboys Grow
 Palliative.

With the American Army in France. -"Chow time' means one of the most picturesque sights along the front, es- pecialIy with the Americans. It seems to mean more to the Americans than to any other army, perhaps because American "grub" is better. Happen along through ruined vil- lage or woods in an American sector fifteen minutes before "chow time" and you would think the place deserted. Probably there wouldn't be more than one or two stray doughboys in sight.
 Come along fifteen minutes later and you wonder "where in thunder they all came from"
 They'll be lined up, and in front of each line there'l be a field kitchen steaming away, with a perspiring army cook dishing out grub that makes you want to 'grab some tools and get in line" too.
 There's lots of animation at f'chow time" among the Americans. A crowd of Frenchmen is quiet while eating, the only time French soldiers are quiet. They munch their bread and meat and vegetables and drink their wine in silence.
 Not so with the Americans. It's a big time. First of all, there's specula- tion on "what's the chow for today" There's variety in Uncle Sam's army menus.
 Then, as they sit around on the ground, on ruins, or under trees, and that satisfied feeling of having eaten good meal grows upon them, there's lots of life and joking among the doughboys.
 "Doughbey chow" is good Usually there is soup. Then there are meat and vegetables, usually two kinds. There are always big slices of white bread and coffee Nine times out of ten there's dessert, probably pudding or fruit.
 Each man has pan with handle that folds into it, and cup. Some way they get some of everything in four-course meal into these two instru- ments and never mix foods. Only one of these "war experts" could do that.

EASY TO HAVE ATMOSPHERE
Matter That Should Have Careful Thought When One Is Contem-
 plating Building Home.

Many factors enter into the work of building a home that are not con- cerned, simply, with the work of de- signing or the mechanical processes that go into the building of the house, and we soon discover and realize that the designing and building of house is, after all, but the first preliminary step in the establishment of home. The house is important, of course, and if it is not just as it ought to be in every particular, the operation will be a complete failure.
 And it is of special importance be fore you build, that you know just what you want your house to suggest in the way of newness or old-fash- loneliness or an atmosphere of historic association, and you should also know how the result you wish can be se- cured.
 Your house need not be old to pos sess what seems to be an atmosphere redolent with memories of the good old days, and if you will but choose your architect with proper care, he will know how to give to your new home that atmosphere which one we'll known designer of colonial houses Joy Wheeler Dow-calls the dramatic quality in architecture. - RaWson Woodman Haddon, in House Beauti- fTl

Ornamental Lamp Posts.

There is no feature of municipal equipment that adds more to the at tractiveness of a city's appearance than do ornamental street lamp posts of artistic and appropriate design. Just as the effectiveness of interior decora- tions and furnishings depend in a large measure upon lighting fixtures, so the beauty of the street can be en- hanced or marred by it's lights. In each case a satisfactory solution or the lighting problem consists not only in supplying sufficient illumination but also in providing lighting equipment that harmonizes with it's surroundings and possesses a beauty of it's own. The old-time lamp post in vogue be- fore the days of electricity fulfilled the second of these conditions but not the first; for, although the post itself was often a work of art, it's feeble oil or gas flame seldom was equal to the task of Illuminating the street on the other hand, the modern overhead arc lamp gives fairly satisfactory light, but the unsightly poles, ropes, wires and other equipment for raising and towering the lamp can scarcely be called beautiful. Now comes the orna- mental street lamp post, which com pines the beauty of one of it's prede- cessors and the utility of the other.- Thomas J. Davis, in the House Beau l tiful

FEAR FRENCH TANKS
Machines Spread Terror 1T
 Ranks of Foe.
Armed Car Helps IS Yanks to Gap. ture 700 Huns in Recent
 Drive.

With the American Armies.-Greater laurels daily are being won by the French light tanks which are cooper ating with the American forces in pushing the Germans back toward the Rhine.
 Among the many individual feats of the tanks and their drivers which have come to light one of the most interest ing is that of Brigadier Collier, who has been decorated with the cross of the Legion of Honor for his work in a light tank which enabled 15 American soldiers to capture TOO Germans.
 Several hundred of these tanks led tire counter offensive from the Villers- Cotterets forest in July, which marked what appears to have been the turning point of the war. They broke through the enemy's lines, destroying his ma chine guns, overcoming strong centers of resistance and spreading panic and demoralization in the German ranks.
 Where the infantry was preceded by the "chars d'assaut," as the French call them, the advance was three miles a day.
 It was these same French light tanks which preceded the Americans in their advance upon Juvigny and Terny on the Soissons plateau. One of them, manned by lieutenant, killed more than POO Germans on the plateau.
 Documents that have come into the hands of the French staff show that the Germans are greatly worried by the light tanks and are studiously coaching their men in methods of de- fense against them.
 The light cars have the advantage of greater speed and of being more easily handled than the heavier tanks. They require crew of only two men, a driver and a gunner, and carry one one-and-a-half-inch gun and a machine gun.

ventilation and Sunlight.

Ventilation, with a boundless supply of fresh air and sunlight, are wonder full cures for many dread diseases, puri- flying and cleansing the air we breathe; yet we find windows closed and blinds drawn to shut out the pure air and sunlight. The sun must not shed it's rays upon our furniture, car pets, etc, for fear of making them fade! We had far better only have things which do not fade than shut out the glorious suns rays. What is the use of bylaws compelling builders to provide windows of at least one-tenth the floor area, half of which must be made to open, if we defeat the object for which they were made?-Architect and Contract Reporter.

KEEP HOUSE LOOKING RIGHT
Means Higher Rent and Greater Value.

The best way to sell house is to paint it first.
 You can get higher rent for house by painting it.
 The banker will lend more money on a well-painted house.
 These are suggestions made in con nection with clean-up-paint-up cam paign that have arrested a great deal of attention.
 A prominent banker said:
 "Of course, it is easier to get loan on a well-painted house. This is not merely because the house is in better repair and holding it's value, but be- cause the very fact that a man takes good care of his property is proof to us that he is not shi ftless, that he is provident and that we have a reason ably certain prospect of getting the loan paid back.
 "A well-painted house carries it's own recommendation, even as a man who is careful about the neatness of his appearance makes much more favorable impression than one who is careless"
 When nature takes on a new dress, why not be in harmony? is a sugges- ton for "elean-up-p -paint-up'' that carries an-appeal to most folks. It is also pointed out that woodwork kiln dried by furnace fire, in spring is actu- ally parching and famishing for re- freshing paint.
 Again the suggestion is made that when the east winds are high it is dangerous not to have your windows carefully puttied.

REPAIRS NEEDED FOR ROADS
Necessity and Desirability of EIiminat. ing Holes and Ruts Should Be
 Brought Out.

In order that the roads may not be entirely destroyed Nor put into condi- ton requiring complete rehabilitation, the government ought to impress upon states, counties, cities, villages anS townships the necessity and desirabiE. ity of eliminating every mudhole, every Oppression, by filling in; it should ask that culyerts and bridges be kept in q reasonable state of repair and it should command that every highway should regularly and systematically be dragged after every rain that high spots may be eliminated, low spots filed and the roads made as smooth and safe as possible with this tenn porary scheme to aid as far as pos sible, transportation over public high ways.-Pitt and Quarry.

Panoramic Object Lesson.

Two and a half miles of corridors in the state, war and navy building at Washington are panoramic object lesson in the use of tinted walls to re- fleet the light.
 This is a really economic experiment that has been proved a great saving Tn the cost of lighting The light-retiect- ing values of the various tints of paints are now understood by the skillful painter.
 Many industrial establishments, schools, hospitals and office buildings In the capital have reduced their light ing costs to a marked extent through application of the proper types and tints of interior paints. By making the interiors brighter they have saved q number of accidents and have contrib uted to more cheerful feeling among the occupants.

How ToMn -eopIe Aid Farmers


 How the little town of Delhi, situ- ated in the Catskill mountains in New York state, is aiding farmers in the surrounding community in securing much-needed labor is told by repre- sentative of the United States depart ment of agriculture, who has recently returned from an inspection trip in that district. The local commercial club of Delhi has organized some of the business men of the town who are willing to do farm work after three o'clock. The farmer who needs help telephones to the club, and at three o'clock the volunteer workers climb into automobiles and report to his farm for a half days work. About 35 business men are being placed every day on the farms around Delhi. The local minister has set the example. He spends one day helping each of the farmers in his congregation.

Well, the truth Of the matter is, you
have hurt his feelings by not taking
a greater interest in his clothes than
you have.
He wants to look his best, but if there

when he goes, by himself, to select a
