First Of all the girl who goes to col
lege must remember that the initial
impression that she makes determines
very largely her happiness or unhappi.
ness for the ilrst few weeks. Above
all things, she should not arrive in an
deliberately trimmed suit, beplumed
hat and pumps. Such things may be
suitable for rare occasions at home,
but they find practically no place In
the outdoor wardrobe of the we'll.
bred college woman. The plain tail.
ored suit cut on good lines, tailored
hat to match and neat shoes create an
impression of quiet good taste and ap
propriateness. This keynote of sim.
plicity should be recognized through
out her wardrobe. Elaborate chiffon
or net waists and fussy neckwear are
of little use. for college girls room

| Hamburg.-It was nine o'clock and
still daylight in Hamburg. We sat In
q pavilion cafe overlooking the Bin
nen-Alster! The lake was full Of
boats; sail boats. rowboats and CO.
noes. Every now and then q little
steamboat whizzed In from the AUS
sen Alster, its tunnels being lowered
and raised with snap as 1t passed
under the low bridge. A few bicycle
launches were still scooting over the
water, ridiculous things with the rider
high In the air, pedaling wheels that
seemed to run right over the water.
The swans were still hanging around
the edge of the water trying to coax
the loiterers to throw them crumb
or two. One large one was. away out
in the middle of the lake vigorously
following launch that had the sign
"Liebnitz Cakes" tackled on its 9tde.

At ten o'clock 1t was not yet dark.
SO we took trip to st. PAUL., the

without word descended the wide

of Susan Stoddard's place.

CHAPTER XIV.
Susan stoddard's Prayer


There was wide porch, spotlessly
scrubbed along the front of the
house, and two hydrangeas blooming
gorgeously In tubs. one on either side
of the walk. The house looked new
and modern, shiny with paint and fur
nished with all the conveniences Of
fered by the relentless progress of our
day.
Little Simon had informed Agatha,
during their short drive. that Deacon
Stoddard had achieved this resi-
dence" shortly before his death; and
his tone implied that it was the pride
of the town, it's real treasure. Even
to Agatha's absorbed and preoccupied
mind 1t presented a striking contrast
to the old red house, which had re-
ceived her so graciously into its spa
cious comfort. She marveled that
anything 80 fresh and modish as the
house before her could have come into
being in the old town. 1t was next
to a certainty that there was a model
laundry with set tubs beyond the
kitchen, and equally sure that no old
horsehafr lounge suDtly invited the
wearied traveller to rest.
A cool draft came through the
screen door. Within, 1t was cleaner
than anything Agatha had ever seen.
The stair-rail glistened. the polished
floors shone. A neat bouquet Of sweet
peas stood exactly in the center Of a
snow-white dolly, which was exactly
in the middle of a shiny, round table.
The very door-mat was brand new;
Agatha would never have thought of
wiping her shoes on it.
Agatha's ring was answered by a
half-grown girl, who looked scared
when she saw stranger at the door.
Agatha walked into the parlor, in
spite of the girls hesitation in inviting
her, and directed her to say to Mrs.
Stoddard that Miss Redmond. from the

OUR UNDERWOOD NEIGHBORS

Although in another state and on the
opposite side of one of the continents
mighty streams, the people of Under
wood and Hood River sections are
drawn closely together because of bus
mess relations, because of their unity
of interest in the fruit industry and
lastly, but not leastly, because of their
congeniality of natures.
The apple and strawberry growers of
Underwood are very much like the
Hood River men. They have come from
the cities of the country and from the
ranks of the professions, after the call
of the country life, and have been
lured to the newer district because Of
its scenic charms, and there they can
look the entire day at the charm Of
Hood Rivers landscape.
Underwood growers are frugally
carving out a little wonderland there
on the banks of the Columbia gorge.
Even the Hood River visitor marvels
at the array of small fruits, at the
snug homes, each wrapped in its sur
rounding vines. The lives they live
ther are conducive to contentment; for
they are blessed by nature. The old
Dame has given her children every
splendor to feast the eye upon and each
year is bountiful with her gifts of
fruits from the soil.

keep from joining in the laugh Of those
who were amused at me, when my car
ran into an irrigation ditch in eastern
Oregon and ! had to get out and help
the horses tug it out.
''The water had seeped from ditch.

onceIto a nearby farm house and asked

to bring out strong team. The ami
mails were not used to an automobile,
however, and she could not get them
near enough to hitch onto the car.

DR.. Patton motored to different points
in this valley, and while here went
with his hosts to picnic at Woodworth
park. He declares that the Hood River
valley is one of the most delightful
communities he ever visited.

Pleasant Reunion of Corps Women

Saturday, June 28, the W. r. C.s
initiated two members, Mrs. Mary j.
Rigby and Mrs. Alameda Hill, after
which the Comrades were escorted in
and very pleasant time was enioyed
for half hour or so. After the sing
ing of America" Mrs. Katherine Gil
read an article on Gettysburg SO wears
ago. Newton Clark. past commander
department, gave a short talk on the
convention at Newburg. Mrs. Clark
also told US how she enjoyed the con-
vention; that the Comrades all greeted
each other as boys" and seemed so
happy together. Comrade Deitz said
he was in the battle of Gettysburg and
was so disappointed in not being able
to go; that his wife said he could not.
and the doctor said he could not. so he
had to mind and stay at home. Com
rade Caikins gave short talk also.
These little social times are much
enjoyed by all who take part in them.
We hope to see more of our members
at the regular meetings. We have
lately initiated Mrs. Correane Strana-
han and Mrs. Mary Goss.
Our next social will be with our pres.
ident, Mrs. Gertrude Stark. All are
cordially invited.

THE PACIFIC HIGHWAY

For some unknown reason the recent
announcement of the Pacific Highway
Associations convention at Vancouver,
Il. c., contains absolutely no mention
of the possibility Of road up the Col
umbia river and thence down through
central Oregon to the California line.
Imprinted on the announcement folder
is a map, showing in general way the
route from the Mexican border on into
Canada. Other tributary routes of i'm
p0rtance are noted on the map. II
seems that the Portland Hood River
highway is not important, nor that
through central Oregon. for the man
unacquanted with conditions of the
Mid-Columbia would never know that
the best route from the Columbia tc
California leads through central Ore.
gon. Nor would he suspect that one OF
the worlds most famous boulevards
was being slowly driven along the Col
umbia river gorge
The direct route, perhaps, should
have the prominence of the associa-
tions of the name, Pacific Highway,
and this direct route is down through
the willamette and Rouge River val
leys. But from the testimony of those
who have travelled over the routes we
Judge that when the ways are opened
the Portland Hood River and central
Oregon routes will be the most trav-
eled. However, we feel sure that it
was an oversight on the part of the
compilers of the announcement.

THREE MOTHERS ARE
RECEIVING PENSIONS

Under the terms of the new Mothers
Pension act, which provides that the
state shall appropriate funds for the
rearing of father less families, or in
case the father is hopelessly afflicted
or is an inmate of one of the state in
stitutions, three mothers of this county
are receiving a total of SIS, ,thaving re-
spectively two. three and four children.
The sum'of $40 is allowed for one child
and 81. so for each additional.
Local citizens who have familiarized
themselves with the new law consider
it very beneficial. The local instances
of the families that have been aided
are cases in which extreme poverty
would have existed but for the working
of the law or charitable aid. In one
case a small Homestead of a woman,
her husband beng hopeless paralytic,
is being saved for her and her two
youngsters.
The cases in which the pensions are
applied are investigated by Mrs. j. P.
Lucas, wife of the local postmaster,
and Sheriff Johnson, who has been ap-
pointed probation officer of Hood River
county. A fourth widow with two
children has applied for a pension.

BONDED DISTRICTS
WILL FIGHT LAW

The special mass meeting of the
property holders of the bonded irriga-
tion district, the Hood River district on
the West Side, held last Friday even
ing at the Barrett school building re-
suited in an instruction to Judge Der
by, the districts attorney, to proceed
to contest the law passed by the legis-
lature and which will cause default
of the districts contracts and bond in
terest. The district has bonds to the
extent of $l70. 900.
Geo. Wilbur. secretary of the East
Fork Irrigation district and its attor-
ney, will join Judge Derby in the suit,
which will be held at once before the
supreme court under its original juris-
dction in the way of mandamus pro-
ceedings, one of the property holders
of the West Side district asking that
the system be prevented from making
assessments under the new law. The
supreme court will decide the constitu-
tionalty of the law as soon as possible,
having agreed with Mr.. Wilbur on this
point while he was in Salem last week.

SLNNOTT TO THE FRONT

Representative N. j. SInnott has
learned of the reasonable desire of his
Hood River constituents in having the
road opened up through the Bull Run
reserve and he is wasting no effort to
show the unreasonableness of the con
tentions of the Portland water board,
which cries out with scary excama-
ions that road penetrating the forest
there, even though il will not cross the
watershed, merely traversing the re-
serve, portion of which actually laps
over in the Hood River county water
shed, will contaminate Portland's wa
ter supply. 0regon's senators. Senator
Lane at least, have made themselves
the sponsors of the bill to preventive
building of the road. Senator lLane
should allow himself to be informed by
the pertinent questions by Representa-
tive Sinnott and others in the investi-
cation of the Hetch Hetchy project
down in California, where in the opin-
ion of Secretary of Interior Lane,
roads traversing the watershed will
not cause contamination to the prospec-
tive users of water in the great city of
San Francisco.
OF course, gentlemen, you must
guard the public health. 1t would be
better to place veil around the crest
of Mount Hood than create a menace
to the lives of Portlands residents, but
be reasonable and study the facts and
you will find that the building of the
Bull Run road will not become a source
of pollution.
