UNDER A TREE.
Arrange q swinging seat from the
branches by means Of stout ropes, and,
in place Of the usual swing board, take
an old armchair and cut OF the legs.
This will make very comfortable seat,
especially II 1t is an armchair having
a high back for resting the head
against. It must be swung at the right
angle for comfort, with the back a
trifle lower than the front.
A HAMMOCK ON THE LAWN.
Often there are no shade trees under
which to swing hammock. When
such is the case, select the north or east
side OF the house, where the sun casts
the shadow of the house through much
OF the day. Drive two stout posts, and
swing the hammock between Cut a
three-cornered piece of awning having
two long sides about three feet longer
than the length of the hammock, the
shorter side Of the head to. extend we'll
over it, and the point at the foot cut of
to make it about half yard across.
Sew this short end at the bottom firm
ly over rod or round stick, put large
screw eyes into the rod at each end,
fasten by a rope to the tree or sup
port to which the hammock Is attached
at the foot
The other corners at the head must
have ropes sewed stoutly to them, and
be tied to whatever supports the head
Of the hammock. The awning stretched
above the hammock will not only shade
the eyes from the glare OF the light and
the sun, but will shield the hammock
from light showers
The Suffrage Amendment I'm Oregon.
The opponets are calling attention to
the defeat of the suffrage amendment
In Oregon, and citing similar defeats in
other states as proof that woman SUI
frage Is losing ground, when the facts
are that these various defeats have
shown a continuous growth in the suf-
fr1De aentiment.
Whl1e the exact figures have not been
ohta1nsd from the vote in Oregon, there
= ovesy reaaon to believe that the
Affirmative vute was very much larger
than when To amendment was SUBJ
mittsd sou1e ysars ago. when the vote
IN 1evor was very small. In several OF
the counties The amendment carried this
year.
Oregon % the NTH state in which
equal suffrage amendments have been
twice submitted to the voters, and in
each case the Affirmative vote has been
much larger the second time than the
first
In Washington equal suffrage was de-
feated in 1889 by a majority OF 1886.
In 1898 the adverse majority had drop
ped to 9, 1872. In South Dakota It was
defeated In 1890 by majority of q, $40;
In 1898 by q majority of only 1926.
