RED CROSS meets TO
NAME COMMITTEE To
NOMINATE OFFICERS
Meeting AT Commercial Club
Rooms Tonight, Be Sure
To Attend It

Tonight at the auditorium of the
Commercial club, a meeting will take
place that will be of vital Importance
to Willamette chapter, Red Cross. For
at the meeting this evening, members
of the Red Cross are called on to vote
and select a nominating committee OF
either three or five. 1t will be the
duty of this committee to nominate Of
ficers for all departments for the COM
ing year.
The interest shown this evening and
the attendance will demonstrate to
some extent whether the people of Ma
rion and Polk counties are interested
in he work of the chapter and its one
hundred or more auxiliaries, said a
prominent Red Cross official today.
Besides voting for a nominating com
mittee, there will be reports of the
heads of the several departments OF
the Red Cross work. and also general
discussion of Red Cross affairs.
But among some Red Cross workers,
there is a feeling that the meeting to-
night will show to some extent wheth-
er members of the Red Cross appreci-
ate what has been done the past year
and also whether the members have
any interest in what is to be done the
coming year.

Proposal Made To Put Tax OF
Three Dollars A Bale On
Cotton

Washington, Sept 19.-The first or
ganized effort to change the ways and
means committee draft of the revenue
bill was under way today with cotton
and child labor tax amendments up in
the house.
Despite the threat of prolonged de-
bate on these amendments and the
promise of introduction later in the
day of third amendment providing
for congressional committee to SUI
pervise and investigate war expendi-
lures House leaders hoped to rush the
big tax bill to a vote before adjourn
ment
The child labor amendment, spon-
sored by Representative Green, Iowa,
would put q tax of five per cent on the
products of any mine, quarry, cannery
or factory employing children under
IA OF working children between IA and
l6 more than eight hours day, or six
days week or using children between
these ages for night work.
The amendment is designed to re-
place the federal child labor law re-
Gently held unconstitutional by the su-
prcme court and like the cotton tax
amendment will likely meet opposition
from southern congressman. Its pass
age as part of the revenue act is re-
garded as doubtful even by congress
men who favor it.
The cotton amendment, proposed by
Representative Moore of Pennsylvania
would put a tax of SO on every bale
of cotton sold.
Moore proposed the tax in hope of
bringing "show down" on the whole
cotton situation, which has been hang
ing fire in Washington for several
weeks.
Congressman from the big manufac-
turing states declare that while profits
of steel men and mpnufacturers have
been limited during the war, the cot
ton belt, they hold, is paying only a
small fraction of the war taxes, while
it is reaping huge profits from war con
disions.
Southern members declare cotton ID
only now recovering from poor years
before the war and that the country is
threatened with a short crop this year
While expectations today were that
the cotton tax will be defeated, south
ern members were ready to battle every
inch in fear that a combination of re-
publicans and northern democrats may

No Collection
OF Clothing Friday

The ladies of the Red Cross who have
charge of collecting old clothing for
the Belgian relief fund announce. that
no collections will be made Friday. In
stead, arrangements have been made
whereby 16 automobiles will visit ev-
cry street in the city and do the col
lecting Saturday.
Hence, all that one has to do is to
wrap up any old clothing for babies,
children, women and men, and also
shoes and place them on the front
porch. Saturday morning these will be
collected and taken to the store room
at 141 North Commercial street.
Those who cannot get their packages
ready until next Monday are request
ed to telephone the Red Cross, No. 1900
next week. But for Saturday all that
will be necessary will be to place the
bundles out in front of the home and
the Red Cross automobiles will call.
Salem has been asked for 5000 pounds

WORKERS BRINNING
With ENTHUSIASM
BUT MORE ARE NEEDED
Hundreds Of Live Wires Turn
ed On The Juice AT 9
This Morning.

esThe workers are more enthusiastic
than in any of the former liberty lean
drives. But the task is so tremendous
that unless more men who viii velan-
teer and give their time to the work,
Salem will fall down in raising its
quota for the fourth liberty loan,
sald General r. L. Lee Steiner, in
charge of the campaign.
And not only is there need Of more
workers, but DIR. Steiner claimed JAat
it was also up to the public to help
the workers in the way of not waiting
for solicitor to cali. but to find out
who the solicitors are and 90 to them
and subscribe.
This morning at 8 O clock the hund.
reds of live wire men of the city were
out in their respective districts. Ae-
cording to general reports, they are be-
ing well received everywhere, but the
amount, more than one million dollars
for Salem is so great. that it will take
the combined efforts of every one IN
the city to bring the eity's sabserip-
tions up to the mark.
Last night, the rally meeting was
held at the opera house, at which fully
| 90 per cent of the team workers re-
sponded Addresses were made by
Marshall n. Dana of Portland and John
X. Lee also of Portland. Each of the
speakers reviewed the general war con
ditions and urged that Salem be one
of the communities to first report its
quota raised.
Each day this week, the workers will
report in the evenings at the auditor
ium Of the Commercial club. AT noon
of each day, they win meet at the
First Methodist church to report on
those who have not shown the proper
spirit. 1t is pretty well understood that
with this loan, if man fails to un-
derstand conditions and refuses to buy
at least one bond, there is something
radically wrong with him.
Several of the larger stores of the
city are making an effort to go 100
per cent strong in buying bonds. Many
of those with half a dozen or less en-
ployes have already reported 100 per
cent right. Among the stores with 70
or more employees there is considerable
rivalry as to who will first officially
report 100 per cent subscriptions.
The Ladd &Bush bank, with 30 en-
lployes reported 100 per cent carly TINS
morning. In fact every bank in the
city reports that every employe has
subscribed before noon today.
| AS the workers were too busy to
make reports of progress today nooni
it will perhaps not until Friday OF
Saturday evening that an estimate can
be made as to what Salem will do with
its quota of more than one million dol
liars,

PIamented Beauties.

Pierre de Trevierre a French writ
er on fashion, heralds the unexpected
triumph of the brunettes over the
blondes, who have so long held the
popular favor. Who, he asks, could
have foreseen this evolution? The
blonde, alas, as gone! The style of
dressing the hair with head bands has
caused this undermining of the gold
en- locks. The meridian rays of the
Greek couture permit one to perceive
the new growth of hair which has lib
Grated itself from the corrosion of the
dye. All the pigmented beauties have
now been forced to renounce their
chemical preparations. No more
shall we see these golden headbands.
Chemistry has created many varie.
ties of blondes. We have had the rud-
dy blonde of Rubens, the ferruginous
blonde, the mahogany blonde beloyed
of Titan, the exquisite blonde of Tin
toretti and the blonde dear to the
artist Henner. There were a hun.
dred fashions of blondes, but there is
only one fashion of brunette.

MORE RESTRICTIONS
FOR BREAD BAKERS
Food Administrator .Baetjer Order.
Use of 20 Per Cent Of Flour Sub
stitutes In All Loaves
And Rolls

Beginning today all bread and rolls
manufactured by bakers must con-
tain 20 per cent flour substitutes, ac-
cording to a notice which has been
sent the bakers of Maryland by Ed
win G Baetjer. Food Administrator
for this State.
1t is reported that nearly all the
bakers in Baltimore already have
reached the necessary amount of sub
stitutes in their formulas, as they
started to add substitutes slowly sew
eraI weeks ago in order to prepare
for the time when they knew the or
der was coming.
The following is a list of permis-
sible substitutes announced by the
Food Administration:
Bran. shorts and middlings, corn
flour, edible corn starch, hominy, corn
grits, barley flour, rolled oats, oat-
meal, rice, rice flour, potato -four,
sweet potato -four, buckwheat -four,
cottonseed flour, milo, kaffir and fe-
terita flours and meals, soya bean
-four, peanut -four, casava flour, taro
-four. banana -four and other products
of a similar nature. Potatoes may
also be used as a substitute by bak-
ers providing four pounds of pota-
toes are used in place of one pound of
substitute
Maryland is in no danger of food
shortage as long as the housewives
and small retail dealers refrain from
boarding. according to a statement is
sued by Mr.. Baetjer.
The statement was issued because
of alarm manifested in certain quar-
tiers that there would be food short
age on account of railroad congestion
and the food shipments abroad.
There is every indication that there
is sufficient and will be sufficient food
for our consumption, says the state
ment There is only one situation
that cannot be met and that is the re-
quirement for consumption, plus
boarding. The only thing that can re-
duce our supplies is the boarding Of
food by housewives.

NEXT BIG ARMY DRAFT
TO BE HELD In JUNE
Details of Mobilization Not Yet Work
ed Out, However Nationwide
Call Only In Emergency.

The second big draft of men for the
National Army will be made in June,
according to present plans. This was
learned from authoritative sources at
the Provost Marshal Generals office
in Washington today.
The number to be included in the
call and mobilization planned is to be
determined by the War Council of the
War Department, it was stated.
Unless some great emergency
arises, no nationwide calls of men
will be made under the second draft.
The present plan provides for a con-
tinuous stream of men moving from
civilian life to army camps and from
the camps to France. Comparatively
small numbers of men will be ordered
from certain districts to camps just
as rapidly as men now there start
across the sea-
The formal call authorizing some
definite number will be made merely
for the purpose of allotting the dis
trict quotas.
