Beauty's path through life is sort
of rose-bordered one, a royal pro-
gress; for to Beauty the world, big
and little, high and low, pays homage.
Just as the individual woman has the
ability to win favor and to please,
does she come to realize that the first
and most potent influence is physical
beauty.
If there is woman who does not
care to look well, who does not care
to win affection and love, she Is an
abnormal creature, and with her we
have nothing to do. 1t is simply hui
man nature, a desire implanted in ev-
cry normal woman's heart to wish
for admiration and love.
Assuming that 1t is not only the
natural desire of woman but also her
duty to please, in order to succeed,
she must train herself to that end.
First of all, let me impress 1t upon
you that that end Is not obtained by
the use of paints and rouges.
Mohammedans say, ITO Eve God
gave two-thirds Of all beauty" Not
without purpose could Divinity have
bestowed such power, Dr. Johnson
once said, Mature has given woman
so much power that the law cannot
afford to give her any more"
It is certainly doubly true that we
cannot consider the subject of wo-
mans beauty which exercises so pow
erful an influence for both good and
evil without the study of its sources
and in turn answer that battling ques-
ton, What is Beauty?
From the beginning of history the
two forces most potent in moving the
world have been beauty and gold, and
when the two powers were pitched
one against the other, it was not
beauty that lost.
There are two sorts of beauty: one
working for the destruction of good
leaving a path like the trail of the
serpent; the other uplifting and work
ing for the highest, noblest purpose
The first sort of beauty is only a
desire to please and crafty the senses
for moment, only to plunge into the
depths of despair that follow. Dear
est Nature strong and kind Is swift to
avenge the abuse of her gifts and
Beauty that has no higher aim than
selfish pleasure only ultimates itseli
| in ruin and decay"

CONSTRUCTED
FOR STATE

Last legislature appropriated $70,-
900 for new wing to receiving ward
at insane asylum. Welch Bros. of Sa-
lem have the general contract, and
will have the building completed in
about two months
A brick building 80 by 80 is in
course of erection at state tuberculosis
sanitorium, and will be used as power
house and laundry building. This
building is being erected by prison
labor under the direction of a skilled
foreman, and will be completed in
about six weeks.
During the summer a sanitary COW
barn was completed at the Feeble
Minded institute, and early in the
spring bids will be called for the erec-
tion of a girls dormitory for which
an appropriation Of $4,000 was made,
and for which plans and specifica-
tions are now being completed.
At the state institution for deaf
mutes has been erected brick hos
pital, sanitary barn, and the interior
Of dormitory has been completed.
The plans for supreme court and
library building to be erected just east
of the capitol building, are being COM
pleted as rapidly as possible, as it is
desired by the state board to have this
work under way early in the spring.
This will be quite an imposing struc-
ture of classic design and will be of
strictly fire-proof construction. 1t is
designed to accommodate the state
printing plant on the first floor; also
heating plant and storage rooms. The
second story will be devoted entirely
to library purposes and will be of
ample capacity to accommodate the
law library for many years to come.
The third or top story will contain the
supreme court room, 40 by 40, with
provision for additional supreme
judges when required. Provision is
also made for stenographers room,
clerk of the court and assistant; also
filing room in connection and the at
torney general and assistants. All
modern conveniences will be incor-
porated in the construction to make
it the best building of this character
in the west

what the fountain would be. In order
to make the whole scheme one of
beauty he suggested that few nee
essary changes should be made in the
park. The city council adopted the
suggestions and it is because of the
necessity of making them that the de-
lay of its installation has occurred.
Mr.. Waite was born in Springfield,
Mass. At an early age he learned the
printers trade. Becoming seized with
the lure for gold he came West and
secured employment as a printer on
the Oregon Daily Statesman, which
was then published in Oregon City by
Asahel Bush. In the year 1869 he
entered the printing business for him
self in Salem, and later was one of
the incorporators of the company that
started the Capital Journal.
He served during his life as presi-
dent of the Board of Trade, and was
one of the city's first men to call the
attention of the east and middle west
to the opportunities which Oregon Of
fered. Through his efforts many were
prevailed upon to come to the "Bea-
yer" state and make it their home.
He was a genial, whole-souled man,
and had innumerable friends.

HAS Salem a good school system,
and free public library" is the in
Quiry that comes daily from those in
all parts of our country, who are at
tracted to our beautiful and fertile
Willamette valley and who seek for
themselves and their families the ad-
vantages of education We are glad
to reply that Salem has a splendid
school system and that her library is
second only to Portland among the
public libraries of the state and is
free to every citizen who makes appli-
cation for the privilege of its use.
The present library of over 10000
volumes was started In May, 1904, by
a few books on the shelves, no money
In the treasury, but with a fund Of
enthusiasm and steadfast purpose Of
contributing to the city's welfare.
For the first seven years Of its pro-
gress the credit belongs to those lead
ers in the movement who contributed
so largely of their time and energy
for carrying on the work. When in
years to come some Horace Mann"
will arise from the generation Of
youth who have spent so many valu-
able hours poring over the books and
acknowledge to the world that his in
spiration came from those same books
placed in the library and cared for
by that company Of workers, then
will their service be adequately ac-
knowledged.
At the beginning of 1911 the gen
erous offer of the Woman's club to
give over the entire library property
to the city made 1t possible for the
city to accept Mr.. Carnegie's offer Of
$27,500, for a building, and make the
library city institution.
A board of directors was appointed
by the mayor from among Salem's
most public-spirited citizens, and the
work of reorganization under state
law, OF arrangements for the con-
struction of the building, and the en-
larging and strengthening of the in
stitution at every opportunity with
the means at hand, has been carried
on during the year.
Cooperation between the school and
library authorities has made it pos

sible to unite the library resources of
the two institutions in one building
and under one management, and ev-
library more and more IAN integral
part of public education"
In time, it is the aim to place, in
each school building circulating IL
brary for the benefit not only Of the
teachers and pupils, but also for the
surrounding community, thus bring
ing to those who, because of distance
and lack of time, have been excluded
from library privileges, the books that
are theirs-for the library, more than
any other city institution, belongs to
all the people-not alone for the chill
dren in their search for knowledge or
pleasure, or for those seeking recre-
alton, but for the working man who
has finished his schooling but who
loves books the library may become
perpetual and lifelong continue
tion class"
The new building in process of con-
struction is classical In design and
arranged in every detail according to
the most modern ideas for conven-
ience and efficient administration.
On the main floor is the delivery
room, on the right of which is the
children's room and librarians room
directly back of it is the book room
and on the left is the reference room
and reading room. An ample coat
room is also provided on this floor
On the ground floor is the assembly
hall with a capacity for seating 2OC
people, the mems reading room, class
rooms and work room.
Every citizen of Salem should feel
sense of pride not only on the dig
nifty and attractiveness Of the building
itself, but in the spirit of the institu-
tion which aims to enter more ano
more into the life of the community
and to become the local center around
which revolves the local studies, loca
industries, and all the various loca
interests OF the city.
The Salem public library wishes
you a cordial invitation to become
enrolled in her membership and II
help make the coming year the bes
in her history.

Lake City, Fla, May 22.-Six negroes

to Lake City in automobiles, took the
negroes about mile outside Of Lake

abreast and about ten men began fir

with bullets. The firing lasted about
half an hour A few struggling citizens
at daybreak found the negroes mutilat-

How Do We walk7
A startling fact that is constantly
revealed by the present fashions is the
almost universal lack of grace in the
modern girl. The short and narrow
skirt so much seen is merciless in this
respect. 1t boldly refuses to Disguise
the ierky, awkward stride of the aver
age girl, and one is more and more inn
pressed with the rarity of the girl who
knows how to walk we'll. This is aston
ishing when one considers how much the
modern girl goes in for all kinds or
sport and calisthenics, yet one scarcely
ever sees girl who walks correctly,
and the really graceful girl is unique.
When she is seen, she charms the eye
and possesses an attraction that does not
depend upon youth or beauty.
Every girl should strive to walk well,
and with patience and the observance of
a few rules she can soon improve her
carriage And certainly it needs improv-
ing, for the hunched shoulders and pro-
truding chin of the modern girl borders
on the grotesque. An old-fashioned rule
for attaining a graceful poise of the
neck and shoulders, which many of our
grandmothers practised daily, is to walk
with book upon the head, and it should
not be allowed to fall off, The heels,
shoulders and the back of the head
should all be level when starting to
walk. and the chest well thrown out.
Swinging arms are never graceful They
should hang easily, but were never in
tended to help propel the body along.
One should avoid the mannish stride as
well as the mincing gait, There is a
happy medium, and the length of stride
girl can gracefully develop depends.
of course, upon her height and length of
limbs. Walk from the hip. not from
the knee. Swing with steady rhythm,
head well up. Don't meander aimless-
ly along or violently stride ahead When
you 90 for a walk have an object in
view and pursue it steadily and smart
", and you win find that your walking
gains in poise and grace Exchange.
