Chicago, April S.-Declarations that
the charge made by Clarence s.
Funk to the Illinois legislature that
a 100000 "slush fund" had been
used to elect William Lorimer to the
United States senate were derided
here today by Judge Hanecy, Lori

Hines, the lumber magnate, had ever
raised the 100000 as Funk charged,
Hanecy made the following statement
to the United Press:
"The charges amount to nothing.
They are all innuendo, based on
hearsay. Who is Funk? He has
nothing. People are not going to
somebody's hired man to ask for $1O,-

HIGH SCHOOLS
TO HOLD BIG
TRACK MEET
TWENTY THREE SCHOOLS REP
RESENTED BY 125 STUDENTS
WILL TAKE PART-MEETING IS
MAY 12.
Especial to the Journal.)

Especial to the Journal)
University of Oregon, Eugene, April
S.-The inter-scholastic track meet,
which will determine the champion
ship of the state preparatory schools,
will be held in Eugene, May IL.
Practically all the big high schools in
the state will be represented and
elaborate preparations are being
made for the entertainment of the
teams.
Some 23 schools have signed up for
the meet to date. Among them are:
Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, AL
len, Preparatory, of Portland; Col
umbia University, Vancouver, Eu-
gene, Baker, Pendleton, Enterprise,
The Dalles, Medford, Oregon City,
Newberg, Prineville, Hood River,
Roseburg, Oakland, Grants Pass, La
Grande, cottage Grove, Junction and
Springfield.
The larger schools are sending six
men each and the smaller ones four.
Altogether, about 125 men are ex-
pected. The track is being widened
and a large number of new hurdles
are being constructed, which will
lessen considerably the number of
preliminaries necessary. Silver tro-
ply cups will be given to the win
ming teams and to the high point
men and individual winners. Every
man that makes a place in the finals
of an event will receive a medal.
The medals for each event are in sets
of three, gold for the first, silver for
the second, and bronze for the third
place. These medals are given by
the different fraternities at the
university and each will be engraved
with the finner's name.

High Pressure Days.

Men and women alike have to
work inCessantly with brain and hand
to hold their own nowadays. Never
were the demands of business, the
wants of the family, the require
ments of society more numerous. The
first effect of the praiseworthy effort
to keep up with all these things is
commonly seen in weakened or de-
bilitated condition of the nervous
system, which results in dyspepsia
defective nutrition of both body and
brain, and in extreme cases in COM
plete nervous prostration. 1t is
clearly seen that what is needed is
what will sustain the system, give
vigor and tone to the nerves, and
keep the digestive and assimilatiya
functions healthy and active. From
personal knowledge, we can recon-
mend Hoods Sarsaparilla for this
purpose. 1t acts on all the vital Or
gans, builds up the whole system,
and fits men and women for these
high-pressure days.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1911-04-08

matches usually, and patent leather
foxings are popular With black
tailored suits OF satin or serge, white
spats, gloves and hat or hat trim
mings are smartly worn here. Black
ties with red hose, red hat and 9TH
er touches of the color are also some
what seen, but are rather garish.
Matching Sets.
Sets of matching scarf, toque and
parasol are replacing the fur match
ups of the winter, and are similarly
useful in dressing up a plain gown
or suit becomingly. These are often
OF embroidered or beaded, or French
knot designs. Sometimes the work
Is done in rafia, a straw-like mate
rial familiar in basquetry, that can
be had in almost any desired shade.
One-Sided Effects.
0ne-sided effects prevail not only
in elaborate toilets, but in simple,
practical morning dresses and suits.
They are not only novel but almost
universally becoming, since the wo-
man with Maude's type of face, "icily
regular" is the. only one who looks
her best in set styles, and she is the
exception.
Wherever colors emerge into the
open from their numerous veilings
they are decidedly noisy. Only their
Oriental combinations saves them
from being unpleasantly insistent.
Fortunately veilings show no sign of
abatement and gowns built of many
materials are the rule.

THE EASTER
FASHIONS
IN NEW YORK
DETAILS THAT MARK THE SEA.
SONS STYLES-ONE-SIDED EFF.
FECTS - FREAKISH OATS
CORD GIRDLES BELTS AND
FILINGS.

New York, April 4.-Short coats,
straight skirts with long, loose
naneIs at the back, high-lifted waist
lines and aDreviated sleeves, most of
them cut in one with the rest of the
garment are some of the striking de
tails of this seasons styles. Skirts
are somewhat wider but still straight
and clinging in effect, with few pleat-
ed models in the smartest showings.
The circular or gored skirt, plain all
round or with inverted plaits front
and back is the leader for suits.
For Fussy Dresses.
For fussy dresses made of thin
silks. voiles or chiffons skirts fulled
into the waist are often seen, but
even these measure not over three
wards at the foot, and fall into much
narrower lines over the skinny drop
skirt. Some of the French dresses
show a ruching of the dress material
or of net bound with the material at
the hem of the skirt, the hens OF
silk, satin, cloth or braids in match
ing or in contrasting colors are very
much used. Especially on the
dresses of white cotton voile that
promise to be a veritable craze this
year, are their colored hens of
voile to match the tones employed,
in the beaded or embroidered pat
terms that, with lace, trim such
gowns attractively.
The Clever Needle Woman.
The clever needlewoman scores
this year, if ever, for little time
spent in embroidery a blouse or dress
patterns turns an inexpensive invest
ment in material into styles that
bring very high prices when bought
ready made. French knots done in
beaded patterns in heavy embroid-
cry silks make modish garnitures
quickly accomplished. The couching
of heavy threads in the brilliant cor
ais or blues particularly effective on
whites or very light grounds, is an
other fashionable form of embroid-
cry that is easy to do, and goes
quickly.
Cord Girdles.
Cord girdles continue their vogue
and beaded styles and those with
contrasting colors or tinsel in their
weave add much to the style of many
toilets. Mercerized cords are used
in the same way with linens, voiles
and other wash fabrics.
New Footwear.
Spats and colored uppers, or shoes
that give spat effect are very much
worn by the fashionable. Hosiery
