CLUB SHOULD BE SATISFIED
Organization That PersistentIy Fought
for Shorter Skirts Might as
Well Disband.

Twenty years ago an organization
to influence women to wear shorter
skirts. The organization was known
as the Rainy Day club, and branches
of it were formed throughout the coun-
try. Mrs. A. M. Palmer, who has
been president of the organization
since its birth, has just announced that
the fight has been won with a ven
geance, and that, the organization may
as well disband, unless it should de-
eide to reverse its bylaws and begin
a crusade for longer garments.
When the Rainy Day club was or
ganized, the style for women was to
wear long trailing skirts that did
portion Of the work now paid for by
the STRENGTHENING department. CRU
saders for shorter skirts produced vol
umes of testimony from physicians
that the long, dragging, heavy skirts
were wrecking the health of women,
carrying disease germs and causing
many kinds of grief. The rainy dais-
les, as they were then called, pleaded
for skirts at least four inches from
background. The fight was stubborn.
For some time Fashion would not yield
an inch. Then the bicycle fad came
along and helped little. Finally the
shortening process gained Roadway,
and even a casual glance skirtward
today finds proof that the battle has
been won, and the time has come to
call halt. 1t is high time that the
Rainy Day clubs disband.-Minneapo

tire Third regiment Oregon infantry

as whole Tuesday, September 10. The
physical examination of the men before
mastering out requires but short time
for each company and will be completed
this week. This means that Company

afternoon. Some unexpected delay may
detain the company at Clackamas until

SALEM STREETS TO
Be PLAINLY MARKED
Commercial Club Urges This
and Acts On Several
Other Matters

Salem is to have street signs so that
even he who runs may read and know
just where he is, while passing through
or stopping over in Salem. The civic
department brought up the street sign
proposition at the monthly meeting of
the directors last evening and Ivan G.
Mcdaniel, the manager, was instructed
to draw up resolutions urging the city
council to take some action and CO.
operate with the Commercial club.
The subject of a $250,000 guarantee
fund was also brought to the attention
of the directors. This fund is to be
known as an industrial fund to en-
courage industries to come to the city
and to assist them in every way. To
take up the subject and report at the
monthly meeting of the Commercial
club next Wednesday evening, a com
mittee was appointed consisting of
George F.. Rodgers, chairman; S. b. Ell
lott, T. b. Kay, George Eyre and Will
liam Walton.
At the hearing given the Southern
Pacific by the public service commits
sion recently in Eugene, Charles H..
Fisher reported that the Coos Bay rates
do not materially effect Salem and that
they apply mostly to Eugene and the
Siuslaw country.
John W. Todd, superintendent of the
city schools, and C. NJ. Wilcox were ad-
mitted as members of the club, and
Benjamin Brick was given vote of
thanks for the manner in which he
handled the Cherry Fair.
An effort will be made to increase
the membership of the club and a
campaign will be inaugurated to this
effect after the state fair. 1t will be
in the hands of the successor to Ben.
iamin Brick.

ing to be given the Southern Pacific
before the public service commission at
Portland September 20. The commits
sion claims that it cannot issue an
order that will stand a test in the
courts unless sufficient record is made
to support such an order. For this
reason the commission has requested
that members of the Commercial Club
attend the hearing and furnish the
necessary testimony on which such an
order can be based.

Mexican Commission
Gets Down to Work
By Carl d, Groat.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
New London, Sept. l4.-Establish.
ment of neutral constabulary along
the border was strongly urged by the
Mexieans here today in the conference
of the joint American.Mexican commits.
sion endeavoring to reach a solution
of the problem of Mexico.
Under this system the patrolling force
would be non'military, but under disci-
pline as strict rs that observed in any
army. They would have large powers
in patrolling the border and in general
would be an organization similar to the
Mexican rurales or Texas rangers.
The commissioners reached no agree
ment on the suggestion, inasmuch as it
is only one of several ideas. but the
Mexieans laid particular stress on it.
Legal questions were also taken up to-
day. The MeNicans said they had not
abrogated the provisions of the eonsti-
tuition and the legal codes, but merely
suspended them and that n new civil
courts system was now being insti-
tuted.

men and students. The students de-
ehDed to take the oath as they would
be leaving for school and the business
and professional men consider that they
have already made sufficient sacrifices.
According to occupations Company M
had but 10 laborers out of 142 men and
the other 1926 were engaged in pursuits
with which military duty conflicted.
Twenty.one men are veterans in the
militia, serving second and third enlist
ments. These men who have served
from four to 10 years decline to sign
up for six years since they could re-
inlist for one year periods under the old
law and all one year enlistments must
be heightened to three years under the
new law which went into effect July 3.
Again many married men find that
their duty to their family must come
before military service when so many
single men come forward when active
service is promised, and volunteer.
The fact that Mexico backed down
when it was known that Company NJ
was fastening to the border and there
was no chance for real active service
was also keen disappointment to many
of the men who lost heavily in a fin
ancial way, through their absence from
their business. These men feel that
they have made a greater personal sac
rifiee than their country's needs re-
quired and they hesitate TO put them
selves into a position where the same
situation would be likely to recur.
