Appeal Made for Small Comforts for
Camp Lewis Men.

TACOMA, Wash.-Without music
Ior laughter casuals come to Camp
Lewis every day, and because they
have not been heralded with public

That is the opinion of Sergeant

$4,000 SOLDIERS MADE
CITIZENS WHILE IN FRANCE

When our armies return from the
$4,000 new citizens of the United States
and this country will spell "home" to
thousands of men who were aliens
when they sailed away. In the midst
OF battles the bureau of naturalization
of the department Of labor reached out
t extend the privilege of citizenship
ciples Of liberty under the Stars and
Stripes.
Louis Weinberger, sent to carry out
the governments naturalization pro-
gram, returned recently after follow
ing up $4,000 of the 10000 naturaliza-
ton blanks prepared for the war emer-
gency.
The first serious problem was to
reach all the aliens in the distribution
of the blanks, but this was soon solved
by sending the papers through brigade
headquarters and thus reaching the
company units.
Among the applications nearly every
nation on the globe was represented.
Because of the haste with which so
many soldiers were made citizens, how
ever. it must not be supposed that the
bars requiring that men accepted by
the nation should be worthy of enroll
ment as Americans were let down.
Owing to military regulations. each
mans history had been carefully tabu-
lated.
One Of the interesting phases of this
wholesale naturalization enterprise
had to do with alien enemies. Even
those who could prove their loyalty
were entitled to citizenship, and num-
Der of Austrians and Germans took the
oath Of allegiance to the flag.
Soldier musicians who have served
with the army overseas will furnish
portland it's music at the Summer hand
concerts. If a suggestion offered by
Mayor Baker is adopted.
In a report to the city council, which
was enthusiastically adopted. Mayor
Baker suggests that all bids for fur
nishing Summer band concerts be re-
jected at this time and that the boys
who served overseas be favored in this
connection.
He suggests that the awarding of the
bids for the concerts be delayed until
after the old Third Oregon regiment,
the Oregon boys of the 91st division
and the 65ti artillery have returned.

The star chamber sessions of the

the Universal photodrama Of modern
Russia, which comes on Monday to
the Strand Theatre.
The spectator sees the Comrades"
and cohorts Of the two principal Rus
sian agitators in the chamber o. dep
uties in Petrograd.
Silk hated ENJOYS arrive from Ber-
lin. They leave an issue Of gold with
the money listers and retire, conf
dent of the support OF the Russia
radicals.
A girl skips lightly into the room,
leaps to the marble rostrum and in
flames the smouldering brains Of the
Comrades. by her creed Of violence.
Then she leaves Petrograd for New
York as an envoy Of destruction from
leaders of the radicals.
How she finds her sister living in
splendor in New York and how the
whole fury Of her heart is directed
against her own father, who is known
to her only as stone-hearted money
king, forms the theme Of the unusual
film drama.
Dorothy Phillips, star of "The
Hearts Of Humanity" rises to dra-
matte heights in dual role in her lat
est starring vehicle, "The Right to
Happiness" She is sensationally
tempestuous as Sonia, the little COM
rade Of the reactionaries and fastidi-

BEWARE OF inefficient MEN
Supposed Interpreter, Unable to Inter-
pref, Fails to Save Countryman
From Prison Torn.

A. r. Hawley, president Of the Aero
club, told in New York the other day
an inefficiency story.
Beware of the inefficient man." he
said, "for If you have dealings with
him 1t Is you, not he, that will suffer
from the inefficiency.
"A foreigner in outlandish garb,
claiming to be an Armenian, came
here to solicit FUNDS last year for his
compatriots. 1t happened that another
Armenian was arrested at the time,
and the first chap was asked to go to
court and act as his interpreter.
swell, he reluctantly consented to
act, though the truth was that he knew
no Armenian whatever. Anyhow he
stalked into the courtroom, listened In
grave silence to the prisoners passion
ate protestations of innocence, and
then turned to the judge and said In
low voice:
"'Your honor, my compatriot has
confessed all. He begs you, however.
to be lenient for suffering Armenia's
sake

warmly for his services and then SEN
fenced the innocent prisoner to five
years at hard labor"

nected with II by double-door open
ing, and adjoining Is a good-sized
kitchen, IL by IL feet 8 inches. The
pantry OFF the kitchen and adjoining
the entry Is another good feature.
The sun parlor is 8 feet 9 inches by IL
feet, an exceptionally large room OF
this kind. 1t will be noted that doors
open into 1t from both the living and
dining rooms, so that one end-that
adjoining the dining room-may be
used as breakfast porch. The double
opening into the living room gives spa
ciousness to this room also.
On the second floor there are three
good-sized bedrooms, the bathroom
and sleeping porch. The latter is
comfort-giving feature of this design.
1t is located so that 1t has privacy, a
thing to be desired. The bedrooms are
ranged around a central hall, and the

In suits, as In frocks and hats, there
Is a considerable variety in styles to
choose from this season. But these
differences are not very apparent I'M
Ill one has given suits a more than
casual study; they lie in small de-
tails of design. At the beginning OF
the season suits presented coats both
short and long, but the longer coats
have persisted and are accepted.
Skirts are wider and have gradually
grown a little shorter than in the
early models. A happy medium Is al
ways a safer choice In street clothes,
but the item of becomingness is more
important than any other and there Is
a suit for every figure this season.
Women should find themselves more
becomingly clothed than In seasons
where styles are less varied; at pres
ent there is every chance to suit In
dlvidual taste.

and also have combined these COM
forts and conveniences with exterior
beauty. However, what appeals to
one prospective builder will not appeal
to another, and by securing a large

individual will find just about the

To secure BODYBUILDING ideas a
visit to the local architect, the lumber
and material dealer, and the contrac

building job will be worth while. These
building specialists all have available
wide range Of homes, both perspec-
tive view and floor plans. With these
plans before them, prospective build
ers will be able to select the home that
meets his requirements and can be
built for the amount Of money he
wants to invest. But In going over
these plans 1t will surprise anyone
how much real enjoyment he will get.

An almost endless number of styles,
with none of them dominant as yet,
characterize the display of millinery
and gowns this season. The powers
that be in the production Of them must
have agreed to disagree, for every de-
signer appears to have operated in
dependently of the others--in meas
ure. In fabrics they are of one mind,
but in costumes we have widely vary
ing silhouettes-the straight and slim
from one source, the draped figure
from another, wide hip and crinOline
effects from several. Skirts and
sleeves from some authoritative houses
persist In being very short-both are
heightened by others, and bodices re-
veal disparity more striking than
any other, going from very low necks
to collars so high that they reach the
ears. There is lack of Conference
In the modes, but In the wide variety
offered certainly every type of face
and figure can be suited.
Among the styles that have been
received with enthusiasm by discrim-
mating judges Of good millinery there
are many medium-sized hats. A group
Of four. shown above, presents widely
different types. each of them having
scored success. Whatever may
be the difference of opinion about
shapes, designers are agreed upon the
use Of rich materials, and the four
hats that constitute this group are fine
examples of the mode.
The hat at the top has a moderate

glycerined ostrich plumes are mounted
at the back.

straight lines are emphasized by small
tucks at each side of the coat, but
narrow belt Of the material adjusts
them to the figure In a way that Is
easy and smart.
In the suit at the right there Is a
revelation of the liking for fancier
designs In tailored clothes. Oddities
Of cut, with new fabrics and new col
ors, make strong appeal to individ-
ual taste and account for many un-
usual designs. Duvetyn, peachblow,
velours and similar cloths are favored
for suits Of this character, and trico-
tine Is best liked for the palmer mod
els, although this Is no hard-and-fast
rule. Brown, taupe, reindeer, dark
green, besides navy, are fashionable
colors with which collars and cuffs OF
seal or beaver squirrel and kolinsky
look particularly well. In the suit
shown here Hudson seal makes deep
cuffs and choker that will Justify the
