Dressmaking Courses for Oregon
Women.

To reduce the dressmaking bills
and to render the women of Oregon
more independent of the professions
al dressmaker, will be the aim of
courses in dress making at the Ore
gon Agricultural College during the
Short Course.
Two courses will be given, one for
the inexperienced needlewomen, and
another for those who have had ex-
berience and can give evidence of
careful work.
The course will offer instruction
in the fundamental principles of
dressmaking, the taking of accurate
measurements, the Interpretation and
use of commercial patterns, econ
omical purchasing and cutting of
materials, proper fitting and finishing
OF at least one cotton dress. Miss
Moore, instructor of Domestic Art
in the Oregon Agricultural College,
Will endeavor to make the course
most helpful to those who need help
in solving some OF the perplexing
problems of the inexperienced dress
maker. The class will meet three
times each week for two hours. A
fee of 25c will be charged. The class
will meet in Room 3O1, Domestic
Science Building.
The more advanced dressmaking
will deal with more complicated
problems and is meant to give ex-
perience in the handling of wooden
materials. The making of one wool
dress will involve the selection of an
appropriate pattern, adjustment of
pattern to personal measurements,
wise selection of material, with es-
pecial emphasis on harmonious COM
bination of colors.

BEST THEATRE

Today-Hal IIsrde, the noted Broadway starr in Lessons in Love-" 8 Lhree part comedy in which the incongruities which arise when a hulking cowboy seriously goes about winning society belle furnish some of the most Imaginable incidents ever shown on the screen.
 Friday-"The Mummy and the Running Bird," in which Charles Cherry, the distinguished Charles Frohman star. is introduced to the motion picture public in a Paramount picture. This screen adaptation of the play by Isaac Henderson abounds in suspense, in scenes of gripping in- tensity, and in roments of breath less drastic thrill.
 When Lord Lumley neglects his wife, she falls an easy prey to the wiles of the talented D'Orelli, a past master of the art of rcducing femin- inc hear and brain to the dangar point. But D'Orelli has already ac- complished the downfall of one wo- man in his native Italy, and the en- ragged husband of his victim is in pursuit of the prepetrator of the deed with vengeance in his heart. What part he plays in the domestic story of the Lumleys, and how he finally gets the revenue which he seeks from the nucleus of this absorbing drama.

 The Sounding Board Horn.
 |: would be impossible to estimate the time devoted in determining tho comparative acoustic properties of substances. It would even be unwise to guess how many years AdirondacK Silver Grain Spruce has been. accept ed peer of all. It is fundamentally right, therefore, thar it should be used in the tone producing parts of the photograph where the vibration must be greatly magnified. The Sounding Board Horn of the Starr Monograph hangs free with an un- restricted vibration from ':he smallc # end of the graduated neck to the wid- est flare of the horn. These is not joint or metal connection which will retard the magnificent tone.
 The Sound Box.
 = To the casual observer, the Starr Sound Box is just q sound box. To the scientific investigator it presents new solution of the basic problem of photographic reproduction. But to you, as prospective owner ne,- ther its form nor principle are inn portant. Does il; improve the tone quality? We ask for an opportunity to demonstrate that it dces, that now for the first time every tone vibra- Lion may be heard unmarred. No question as to what instrument rec orded the disc enters your mind be- cause it is reproduced absolutely true. The Starr Sound Box is dis tlnctly different in results.
 The Artistic Monograph.
 The incomparable tone of the Starr Monograph would be just as true, just as natural. if the case were of the toughest unfinished boards, but cultured folk demand art in both de- sign and finish. The Starr is obvi- ously the only photograph given a piano finish throughout Craftsmen lcng skilled in the standard demand in the Starr product have created an instrument distinct in design and Of unusual finish among smaller musi- cal instruments. If for no other rea- son you should select the Starr. knowing that no other phonograph retailing at approximately the same price is its equal in design and fin ish.
 We invite the public to call and hear these photographs, and com pare them with other makes.

NEW PH0NOGRAPH

The first shipment of Starr Phono- graphs was, received by express yes- terday by the Barnes Music House of this city. .t5czf
 It is exceedingly difficult to de- scribe by word an instrument which must necessarily appeal to the ear. With all things musical, tone is, or should be, the primary factor in the construction. The ultimate object, since the inception of the photograph has been to reproduce musical tones of a perfectly natural quality. AL though much had been accomplished, it remained for The Starr Piano GO. to demonstrate through the fncom- parable tone of the Starr, Piano that The real solution of the tone problem lay among principles which builders of musical instruments had been working on for more than two hun. dred years. The science, the art, the theory and the practice of tone pro- dLction were known to The Starr Piano O., while the photograph was yet unthough. of. This knowledge and experience has produced the. Starr Monograph. It has been de- veloped musically by making the me- chanical necessities subordinate to it's tonal requirements.
 Music is the Universal language of all time. From the centuries past we have received the folk songs which in their very melody tell of the people from whence they came.
 Today in every land photograph records are made, but cf different types. In order that all these might be available to the owners of Starr Photographs, its designers perfected the changeable tone arm and sound box. It brings to you the entire field of disc records from which to select, including those of foreign as we'll as American make and playing each with the stylus in the only correct posi- ticn. This is a distinct advantage worthy of your most careful con sideraticn. .This advance in the photograph will ultimately make obsolete every machine playing but one type of make of record.
 Every de'.ail in the construction of the Starr Monograph has been given the same careful consideration.
 The eases are of simple, artistic design in perfect harmony with the furnishings of the we'll appointed home, the work of artists and artls- ans long accustomed to the standard demanded in the Starr Product.
 They are built from the same se- lectei veneers as the most exquisite Starr Piano and finished just as handsomely. There are many refine ments such as: the substitution of domes of silence for casters; the use of continuous hinges and greater filing space for records, small mat ters in themselves but each con- tributing to the greater satisfaction of the owner. z
 The great difference is in the tone and i' is not an intangible difference which requires the. scientific instru- ment to deeect. To the uncultivated ear there is the full round tone, and absolute elimination of that harsh. piercing quality which is so annoying to the ear drums. To one experi- enced in tone values, perfect natural ness is it's chief charm. It does not matter what instrument is playing

WEIGH WON BOUT LAST NIGHT
Right Uppercut Wins Match in Sixth
Round-Home Favorite Game

The ten round boxing match be-
tween Army Welch of Priest River
and Tom Gillard of Boomers Ferry,
which was pulled off at Kent's hall
last evening, was won in the sixth
round by WEIGH, Referee O'Brien
saving Gillard a complete knock
out by giving WEIGH the decision
just before the finish of the round.
WEIGH forced the fighting in
each round but was unable to get
through Gillard's guard until the
sixth and Gillard seemed to be
having the best of the fight. In
the sixth WEIGH landed a right up
percut to Gillard's jaw in an ex-
change of hard blows. Gillard was
dazed and took the count of nine
when he struggled to his feet. Ii
his condition a Knockout was Ger.
tain and the bout was stopped.
Local fans were pleased with the
exhibition and especially with the
gameness of Gillard, who, it is be-
lieved, could best Welch with lit
tie more experience.
The Priest River man is demon
with the gloves and is fighting al
the time. He has a score or more
of victories to his credit in the
short time he has been in the ring
In the preliminaries the Emery
boys of Priest River were again {
great hit, and McRae and Morton
gave good four round bout.

WORK TOGETHER
FORPURE WATER
Town Council and Water Company
Must Agree on New Site Of
PumpingESta
ADDITIONS GET FIRE PROTECTION
Chairman Gray Appoints Several New
Committees


developed at the city council meet
ing Wednesday evening between
members of the council and H.. A.
Gale, manager of the Bonner Wat
er & Light Company when Mr..
Gale was quizzed as to what prog
ress the company is making to
fulfill its promise made two months
ago before the Public Utilities Com
mission to provide at once better
water for the city. Mr.. Gale stat
ed that three wells have been sunk
on the Northside close to the river
and that samples of the water from
them had been sent to Boise to be
analysed. He maintained the de-
lay in obtaining a report on these
samples was due to the failure OF
city health officers to submit plats,
required by the state board OF
health, showing whether or not any
Objectionable features are located
within the seepage territory o. the
wells. Mr.. Gale also stated in a
very positive manner that the COM
pauy would not proceed to estab-
1ish a new pumping station until
the company and the city officials
were fully satisfied with the purity
of the water finally obtained, and
stated that whenever such an agree
ment can be reached the company
stands ready to move its pumping
plant.
The council took the stand that
there has been altogether too much
delay in this work, calling to Mr..
Gales attention the fact that this
matter has been pending for two
years with no practical results ac-
complished by the company. A
committee was appointed to hurry
up the securing of the water anal
yses and to keep in touch with the
work done by the company to bet
ter conditions.
Further business transacted was
to order the establishment of three
hydrants for fire protection on the
Northside and three on Park addi-
ton hill. On the Northside the
committee recommended that one
be located at the w. 0. Rosebaugh
corner, one at the c. D. Simonds
corner, and one in front of the
III. Hoagland residence property
in order to afford the best protec
ton. 1t is understood the water
company plans to extend its mains
through that section. The site
for the three hydrants in Park ad
dition have not yet been chosen.
H. A. Gale was authorized t.
make certain changes in the auto
matte fire alarm in order to max
the bell ring louder, said work no
to exceed SIS in cost and to cos
nothing if the result is not salts

Richardson on the fire COMMITTEES
A committee comprising the entir
council with D. w. Parks as chat
man, was appointed to handle tt
