Providence Hospital today will
observe the 50th anniversary Of
the death of the remarkable wom-
an who built up the institution
during the last three decades OF
the 10Th century. She was Sister
Beatrice, one of the Sisters of
Charity who were asked by the
Federal Government to care for
the wounded during the Civil War.
She died on September Is. 1899.
Providence, is about to enter a
new era of its history. Land has
been acquired in the Catholic
University area for a new hos
pital. 1t was Sister Beatrice who
was responsible for its principal
period of development. She be-
came sister superior in 1869 when
the first wing was completed. She
bought the entire block and under
her direction the hospital grew
into the present establishment.
She is commemorated by a
plaque placed in the foyer by the
medical staff at the turn Of the
century. 1t reads: In speech
gentle, in deed strong, in affec-
tion deep and tender, wise and
sympathetic in counsel, fearless in
every demand of charity, her
name is forever linked with Provi-
dence Hospital"
Sister Beatrice was a woman
who inspired eulogy. The district
health officer at the time of her
death commented: She was be-
yond doubt one Of the most mag
nif1cent women in the lind. She
was gentle, kind and SYMPATHETIC.
and her charity knew no be unds.
In all my dealings with her she
has never refused aid that was
IN her power to pestow, and never
did she turn a sick person away

SAS Is Attracting scandinavian Youth
Young Norseman Represents Firm Here

Ewald was in Norway during
the war of course and served with
the underground forces. Once he
was jailed by the Gestapo but he
talked his way out of a prison
term and was released. He went
right back among his fellow Nor
wegians and kept on serving with
the underground, often grim
and perilous task. After he ar
rived in New York he worked for
SAS in New York as public rela-
lions representative and for a time
was responsible for the pictures
that are published in various
Scandinavian 'newspa pers and
journals.
Young Pioneer
Ewald has not been engaged
with the firm very long. but still
he is somewhat of pioneer, for
he has seen it grow and expand
rapidly during the past few years.
He reports that sales through the
Seattle office have greatly in
creased and that the Northwest
contributed quite prominently to
the record set by SAS during the
past summer, when it carried more
passengers over the Atlantic than
any other foreign air travel firm.
He also reports that several group
flights from the Northwest area
have occurred and are being plan
ned this year and predicts an in
crease of air travel to Scandina-
via during the coming Christmas
season, which, by the way, is not
publicity yarn, but a state
ment verified by available facts
and figures. After October 1 the
SAS inaugurated excursion fares
enabling passengers to spend 60
days on round trip to Scandina-
via, instead of the usual 30 days.
The SAS is arranging a tour
of Scandinavia especially for
lumbermen in the Northwest area
beginning November /. Partici-
pants will be able to study forest
industries in Norway, Sweden,
Finland and Denmark.

Norway
Police

The police is subordinated the
Ministry of Justice and Police The
country is divided into So police
districts, each headed by a Politi
mester Commissioner of Police :.
The larger towns normally con-
stitute separate police districts,
while the smaller towns form a
district together with the sur
rounding country districts. The
police force in the towns COM
prises the commissioner, one Or
more deputies and subordinate per-
sonnet. In the rural districts the
police authority is vested in the
Lensmann (sheriff), who also per-
forms several administrative du-
ties as local State representative.
The State pays all police expenses,
but the municipalities must refund
a substantial part of them.
The activity of the police prin-
cipally comprises the maintenance
of law and order and the dealing
with crime. A special feature of
Norwegian police organization is
that the police combines the du-
ties of a prosecuting office with
the ordinary police activities. The
police law officers may also by
summary decisions impose fines
from kr. l. to kr. 5,00O-or i'm
prisonment up to three months. If
the delinquent does not acquiesce
to the police decision, he may ap-
peal for court judgment.

makes the book contribution to
the history of both labor and the

Arne Ewald, 29-year-old Pacific
Northwest representative of SAS,
is a typical exponent of this up

pie who are adding a lot of lustre
and vitality to the young firm.
Ewald arrived in the u. S. from
Oslo about two and a half years
ago and in Seattle last December.

the feel of the characters and their

Introducing Scandinavia
Denmark
Food

People have dinner-consisting
of almost anything-about six or
seven o'clock in the evening. We
call it midday" midday = but
this is not as unreasonable as it
sounds. The main dish is meat,
which means steak, veal outlet,
pork chop, or chicken. Fish is both
plentiful and excellent in Denmark
and very few households look upon
it as food in the proper sense of
the word There are Danish spec
ialties such as lobster and oysters
for the rich; there are mussels and
tripe for the eccentric. Nobody
eats rabbits or horseflesh if he
can help it; but everybody-or
nearly everybody-eats game and
venison in the winter with en-
thusiasm.
Vegetables are good, of course,
but many Danes look upon them
as intended for cows, sheep, and
rabbits.
Danish specialties are "kogt
T or k" (boiled cod, Cengelsk
Bef" English steak in a form I'M
known to the English), guile
Aerter" "a soup made of dried
peas and served with pork, saus-
ages, sometimes, picked goose),
"stegt Aal" (fried eel which for
eigners too often assume to be
fried snake), "Flaeskesteg med
Redkaar' (roast pork and red cab
bage) and "Frikadeller" (rissoles).
We have occasional unfortunate
lapses such as "C0dsuppe," which
is sweet soup made of fruit juice,
"0llebrod" (beer roup) which is
made of rye bread with beer in it,
and different kinds of porridges of
which we are rather proud. The
porridge is served as first course
at home. 1t is not to be had at
restaurants, possibly because it is
thought that travellers do not
ocme to Denmark to eat porridge
even of different varieties-and
they might not realize how very
good it is.
1t should be stressed once again
that private entertaining always
presupposes creaking table. Only
half the food is ever eaten, after
which the family proceeds to live
on the "left-overs" for the next
few days. Remember, however,
that if you so wish you can safe
ly partake sparingly of the first
dish served. 1t will be handed
round once or twice again-except
in Jutland. There it is usual to
hand it round five times and the
visitor is considered either to be ill
or not to like the food if he does
help himself at least four times.

Defense
Armed Forces

All Norwegian armed forces are
administered by the Ministry of
Defense. The highest military au-
thority is the Joint Defence Staff
(Forsvarsstaben). In wartime a
forsvarssjef (Officer commanding
Norwegian armed forces) is ap-
pointed, while in peacetime the
Defence Staff is commanded by
the Chief of Defence Staff, p. t.
1t. Gen. Ole Berg.
The armed forces are organized
in the following branches of serv-
ice: Army, including Home Guard,
Naval Defence, comprising Navy
and Coastal Artillery, Air Defence;
Air Force and Anti-Aircraft Ar
tillery
Consumption is compulsory for
all men from the age of 20. The
period of service varies in the var
ious branches, but is generally O.
~ months. The percentage of re-
cruits receiving specialized train
ing in the armed forces is very
high. Since 1916 a considerable
part of all Army recruits serve in
the Norwegian Brigade in British
occupied Germany, where they I'M
dergo basic training in addition to
their police duties. $50 of the re-
cruits serve in the army, 22pe
in the naval defence and 201t in
the air defence.
Training of on-commissioned
officers takes place at "befalssk-
oler" usually one for each branch
of the service, while commissioned
officers are given their final train
ing at "krigsskoler. War Acad-
envy and Naval Academy, special
lied technical training is given at
the Technical College in Trond-
helm. Military Branch, and tenn
porarily at universities abroad
Army, naval and air defences
are divided geographically into
commands (districts) - the army
in 6 Observation-Disclosures" (DK),
corresponding approximately to di-
visions - the naval defence in 5
Sjoforsvarskommandos (SK)-and
air defence in luftkommandos
(LK).
The organization of Norwegian
defenses is at present being re-
gised by the Forsvarskommisjon,
a committee appointed by parlia-
ment. Meanwhile the armed fore
es have been re-organized after
the war W 3-year period 1896
40. The normal expenditure on de-
fence is approx. 200 mill. kr. per
year. Additional expenditure on
purchases once and for all amount
to 300 mill. kr. for these years.
For 194s-49 an additional 100 mill
kr. have been spent for defence
purposes, while specialists are
called up for additional service.

Tense system is scheduled to cost
about 500 million crowns annually
(S222, 1000, 900; S55,oOO,O00).
The strength of all branches of
service comes from recruiting and
universal consumption. Annual
draft of Swedish G. rs averages
about 10000, some $4,000 being
sent to the Army.
The draftee's training period to-
tails II months, with nine months
basic training at 81 and three
months within 10 years.
Professional junior officers are
usually trained about three years.
The lineup of the armed forces
according to the 194s peacetime
defense system shows the Army
to have 10 branches. OF these, the
infantry has 10 regiments; the ar
mored command, 4; the field artil-
lery, 7, and two corps; and anti
