The Mighty Hosts Meet to
Decide a Momentous
Question in Fashions
History.

The afternoon broke sulky and with in
creasing heat. Not a man but felt his
spirits droop and his courage oozing from
his pores. The battle of which men had
dreamed so many nights, for which the
dauntless defenders of fashion had
prayed, was close at hand
AS the hour Of battle drew nearer. how
ever. not man faltered. Not a man was
even prostIated by the heat In undress

hanging unbuttOned they drew up in line

The army of the Sits had the advantage
upon the side nearer the window.
The men of the unsits. however. had
gained possession of the water cooler
earlier I'm the day. by means OF which
they were able to harass the enemy by
taking copious drafts right in the whites
of their eyes, so 10 speak.
The non-slits fired the first shot.

Maud Malone. Americas one and only

believes that the vote can be won by the
power Of thought, met up, as the West

their respective methods. The Woman
rubbered shamelessy.

Malone, stubbornly. II thought about

About Town

A FINANCIAL HIATUS.-The little
jewelry store was crowded when Ihe
Woman entered. Before the counter
where rings were displayed. and where
there was seldom more than one custom
er waiting, at least a dozen were lined up

clerk at the repair counter This is the
month Of weddings: didn't know IT was
the month Of engagements. or. no-they
can't be buying engagement rings They
are all women"
They're buying graduation rings for
their daughters" said the clerk.
And they were. One rather shabbily
dressed woman confded in The Woman.
MY Minnie" she said, she's got to
make her own graduatin dress. an she
amt allowed TO have it cost moren a
dollar. An the principal says we can't
give her no flowers. So her pa an me, we
says. we don't like the idea OF our girl

And she gazed fondly - the tiny garnet

PRESERVING THE CATS.
Tidings Reader Believes Pussy De
serves Consideration.

The Tidings has received the fol-
lowing from an Ashland lady:
Editor Tidings: We can talk
about how to keep the rats from in
cfeasing in Ashland, but it is better
to take tsome care to preserve the
cats, friends of men, pets and chill
dren, and enemies of vermin. The
other day the writer found sofneone's
cat with a tin can jamIned on it's
head. Before throwing out tin cans,
particularly fish cans, they should
be reclosed or flattened. 1t is easy
to do so and may save some poor
puss miserable DEATH
Certainly cruelty and the trapping
of unwary cats is to be avoided, but
the Audubon Society and the agricul-
turists denounce tabby as the de-
stroyer of more useful birds than all
other causes combined. Like all
uestions, it has two sides.

Washington, April 8.-Oirect cleo
tion of United States senators became
one of the provisions of the consti-
tuition today by Connecticut's ratifi-
cation of the amendment to that eff
feet.
Thirty-six states, the requisite
three-fourths, have approved the
change. 1t remains only for the gov
ernors of all states which have acted
favorably to formally notify Secretary
Bryan and for him to issue a proc
lamation announcing the change.
The amendment to the constitu-
tion is the second within the last few
months.
The new amendment to the consti-
tuition, for the popular election of
United States seantOrs, is the seven
teenth to be adopted. 1t reads:
THE senate of the United States
shall be composed of two senators
from each state, elected by the peo-
pie thereof, for six years; and each
senator shall have one vote. The
electors in each state shall have the
qualifications requisite for electors of
the most numerous branch of the
state legislatures

When vacancies happen in the
representation of any state, the ex-
ecutive authority of such state shall
issue writs of election to fill such
vacancies, provided that the legisla-
ture of any state may empower the
executive thereof to make temporary
appointments until the people fill the
vacancies by election as the legisla-
ture may direct"
For more than so years proposals
have been made to change the con-
stitution so as to provide for direct
election of senator's. 1t was not,
however, until June "a, 1911, that
the senate was induced for the first
time in its history to give its consent
to the change. The resolution was
deposited with the secretary of state
May 16, 1912, for distribution among
the states.
No legislation by congress will be
necessary to put the change into eff
feet 1t will be incumbent upon the
various states to see to it that proper
provision is made by the names of
senator's going on the regular bal
lots. Should any state fail to do so,
it has been suggested that congress
might exercise it's power of supervis-
ing that states voting regulations so
a to require the name to be placed
on the ballots.
The first senator's to be elected by
the new method will be those who
take their seats for the term begin
ming March 4, 1915. They will be
elected at the November elections of
1914.

egrets, the bearers of the highly
priced 'aigrettes."
Most of the killing is done in a
cruel, revolving way, and it has been
proven by those who hunted the
plume hunters" out, and watched
them at work, and saw the field of
slaughter afterward.
A wounded bird is stripped of it's
desirable plumage; where wings are
desired, they are torn off and the
bird dropped to die.
About three years ago the Humane
Society of Honolulu appealed to the
United States government to investi-
gate and stop the inhuman slaughter
of birds by the Japanese plume
hunters. According to a report by
Captain F. D. Walker, the small
islands are breeding places for i'm
mense numbers of sea doves, terms,
gulls and others. While the young
were still unable to fly, the parent
birds were caught in large nets; their
wings were chopped off, without tax.
ing the trouble to kill them first
then dropped down to die in time.
This might be termed the "sentimen-
tai" part of the issue.
We know that the markets of
these plumes are the large cities OF
the world, and in our own United
States, mainly the large cities of the
eastern states. We do not think there
is any market for them in Oregon,
probably not in Washington, still
they may get some of our most beau
tiful song birds, which migrate south
ward in the winter. Some stray into
Mexico and Central America, and 9TH
ers of our winter dwellers migrate
north into Alaska and the wilds of
British Columbia for the summer and
there rear their young.
A French scientist once stated that
could all of the birds of the world be
annihilated at once, man could not
exist on the earth more than ten
years thereafter, for the insect pests
would destroy every green thing.
Another case of disturbing the bal
ance of nature" which might be
termed the practical or scientific
view of the issue.
