Milady's NJ otorcar.

There are several innovations being
made at present with regard to the
fittings and upholstery Of motorcars.
more especially in those designed for
milady's use
Some Of the latest models. instead of
being upholstered in the usual dark
colored leather, are being lined with
velvet or cloth in exquisite shades, cal
culated to harmonic well with the
toilets Of the fair owner.
One lovely model was upholstered In
dull silver gray velvet with the fittings
of oxidized silver. the latter being far
prettier and less Ostentatious than
those made entirely of polished silver
or plate.
The cushions. two square and one
oblong. the latter nicely adjusted to fit
into the small Of the back when on q
long and firing drive, were covered in
the same velvet. with the monogram
embroidered in silver and gray thread
in one corner.
The foot rest. with its tin lined in
terror making comfortable warmer
In the cold weather. was also covered
In gray.

1t seems to be the consensus of opin-
Ton among business men East and
West that the year 1914 will be more
prosperous one than the year just end
Ing. To q considerable extent the tar
IN and currency legislation has had a
depressing bearing on the business of
the country. Now that the tariff has
been in operation for some months,
and 1t is found that as whole that it
Is not seriously affecting business, and
sthe secretary of the treasury has in
ffm,med banks that the treasury will
stand behind the banking interests of
Ehe country with millions of money,
the currency bill will not act as bug
aboo. The fact is the talons of the
panic makers have been clipped and
Hhere is no prospect of hard times be-
ing forced upon us. Especially will
abe West be prosperous the coming
year. with the Olympic peninsula lead
ing. With rail connection with the
outside world, which we are certain of
during 1914. we may confidently look
forward to great strides in develop
ment. If no other rail connection is
made with the peninsula, the Chicago,
Milwaukee & ST. Paul will give us an
outlet by carload lots, and this will en-
able our shingle and saw mills to op-
ssrate at a just profit, which they have
not been doing for the past year. The
Megaphone believes that the Olympic
peninsula will forge ahead so rapidly
during the coming year that it will
make out heads swim.

The cards were intended for educa.

be used for certain games. they are
SO made that they will not appeal to
the gambler. The idea Is entirely

her sight is almost as weak as that of
an old woman"
Another doctor. when shown two

weaken the sight. but also induce bald

Suggests Live

J. w. Metcalf, superintendent of

interests. Discussing the proposed
state exhibit building at Ashland Mr.
Metcalf remarked that an important

The following excerpt from a
lengthy article in the Alhambra (Cal-
ifornia) Daily Advocate will be read
with interest by Ashland people. On
Friday evening about two hundred
and fifty of the citizens of Alhambra
gathered in the Sunday school room
Of the First Presbyterian church to
attend reception given to Rev. and
Mrs. H. T. Chisholm of Ashland, Ore
gon. Rev. Chisholm has lately re-
ceived and accepted a call to this
church, and later will be installed as
pastor. Eight different churches,
through their pastors and members,
were represented: Emmanuel Bap-
tist, Rev. w. S. Reed; First Baptist,
Rev. H. o. Meyers; First Methodist,
Rev. c. D. Lewis; Marengo Methodist,
Rev. G.. G. Stewart; Ramona Park
Methodist, Rev. w. Smith; Episcopal,
Rev. M. S. Runkle; Christian, Rev.
w. S. Crockett; San Gabriel Mission,
Rev. Jose Venicia. An interesting
program was given, in the course of
which two little girls came tiptoeing
onto the plpatform, laden with flow
ers, and after giving Rev. and Mrs.
Chisholm, who were seated on the
platform, very cordial welcome, in
flowers in the arms of each. Then
followed words of welcome from the
city pastors. Rev. Chisholm showed
his appreciation of these timely
words by responding heartily, show
ing that he already felt at home in
his new field of labor. The room
was tastefully decorated and refresh
ments were served. sn

by the decorations of wreaths and

beautifully decorated Christmas tree
which lowered over all. Quite an

sisting of carols, led by Miss Swigart,
accompanist, and Mr.. Clark Bush
cornetist, recitations, vocal solos and
duets, and violin and piano solos and
duets by members of the Sunday
school. At the end of this entertain
ment the rooms were suddenly dark
ened, the tree burst into a glow of
light. Santa Claus appeared and
amid great excitement presented each
of the children with an appropriate
gift and Christmas stocking full of
candy. The candy was given by the
Ladies' Guild and the stockings were
the gift of the Girls Club.

To Organize
A Boys Club

Professor Vining is going to or
ganize boys club after the holidays.
The object will be to help boys be-
tween the ages of twelve and eighteen
find themselves and decide upon what
profession they wish to follow. There
will be no fees and all boys between
the ment'o oned ages are invited to
join.
Prof. Vining spoke on the subject
before the high school just before
its close for the holidays. His
subject was Vocational Training and
Guidance" He first told something
of the discarded theories of phrenol-
ogy and physiognomy and then gave
an extended discussion of the meth
| DDS used by modern physiological ex-
perts in placing people in their proper
spheres. He drew a diagram on the
board to illustrate his statement that
the people are divided into five class
es; that is, they are either among
the fifty per cent normal, who fall
into the general condition of affairs
without question and according to
the law of probability or chance are
able to do one thing about as we'll
as another; the twenty per cent class,
or those of exceptional ability, who
are the upper class, high strung,
skillful and are either a success or
flat failure; the five per cent gem
fuses, who are nearer the idiot than
either of the other classes but who
are wonderful along some particular
line; the twenty per cent stupid class,
who will not conform and who make
up the dangerous and lawless class
and have criminal tendencies the
five per cent defective group, who are
in our asylums. So according to
psychology all humanity belongs to
one of the above classes, and experts
are working on the theory that by
placing a person in one of these
groups they can locate him in his
proper sphere in life. In closing Mr.
Vining made the statement that dis
content is fog of the mind and
that there are four sides of ones edu-
cation which must be looked after in
order that one be placed in a psycho=
logical atmosphere. These are gen.
eral education, special training, the
social side and character with person
ality.
