Washing Silk Poplin

T would appreciate it much if you or any of the numerous readers of the Cor ner would tell me if one can wash silk poplin without shrinking it. I have a golden brown and a pale blue.
 IF. H. T." Make a lather of soft water and "ripe'' white soap. Wash the silk carefully in this Do not use any soap except that in the suds. If they are properly made you will need none. Pass from the suds into the rinsing water-5ust warm-and from this into second rinsing tub. It may be advisable to have three rinsings that no soap be left in the silk. The rinsing done, shake and press out the water by hand not wringing the silk. Wrap it in a soft towel and squeeze through this to absorb the moisture. While it is still damp lay upon the ironing board, cover with fine, thin muslin or linen, and press hard and steadily with a warm iron. It must not be really hot. This done press the silk upon the wrong side with fresh warm iron, running it swiftly and smoothly over it. You may put little blueing into the rinsing water in wash
 ing the pale blue. I have seen delicate silks cleansed satisfactorily by this sim pie process.

If 10 cents per pair is paid for having dollar white gloves cleaned, surely the ties are worth the money if the aforesaid men wish to have them look as good as new. Joy be with the Corner and the work it is doing.

The wife and mother whose men folks like to wear pretty ties will seize upon your suggestion gratefully Likewise Mary, whose John is beginning to eye ruefully the loss of the first fresh ness in his stylish neckgear, will take pride in renovating them secretly as surprise for the dear fellow.

"Will you kindly send me the recipe for making Chinese chop suey? had it but lost it. s. B."
 One-half chicken Cor quarter of chick en and as much fresh pork, or you can make it all pork, but chicken is much better), one large handful of mushrooms, stalk of celery, six Chinese potatoes, a. bowl of rice, small dessert dish of Chi nese sauce, which answers for salt. When the chicken is cleaned scrape the meat from the bones and cut into strips about one and one-haIf inches long. If pork is used cut the strips the same length. Slice the onions thin, soak the mushrooms for 10 minutes ill water, then remove the stems; cut the celery into pieces one and one~half inches long. Chi nese potatoes require no cooking; simply wash and slice. First put the chicken Cor chicken and pork) into frying pan with fat and fry until done, but not brown or hard. Then add the sliced onion and cook little. Add mushrooms. Now pour enough sauce over the ingredients to make them brown then add some water and stew few minutes. Add the celery, and after a minute the potatoes Finally add little floured water to it, mahf g gravy of the water which stewed it. The Chinese potatoes, mushrooms, and Chinese sauce may be procured at any Chinese grocery. If the rice is not cooked properly it will detract greatly from the good taste of the chop suey. Otherwise it is palatable dish.

Leaves Park Board
Without Quorum

Park Commissioner S. Permission
handed in his resignation from the
park board at Tuesdays council
meeting. The resignation came as
the result of more of the friction
which has made so much trouble in
park management lately. Although
the members would have less than
80 more days to serve, Mayor John
son appointed w. A. Patrick to the
board in order that the board could
have a quorum in case they did have
any business to transact in that time.
Mrs. Van SAINT is out of the city
and two recent designations and her
absence has left but two members
in town. Mayor Johnson stated that
he would ask Mr.. Patrick to serve
as a public spirited Act and that he
thought he would not refuse but that
If necessary he would spend all his
time making park board appoint
ments between now and election.

Erection Of $4,000 Sanitariurn
Depends Upon TOnlOrOw's Election

1t has been the experience Of inves-
tors everywhere that in order to
make an investment a success, the
people of the community must vital
ize it with their continued backing"
The charter amendment is in re-
ality the outgrowth of the sugges-
tion Of outside investors that they
would supply sanitarium if the
people of Ashland voiced their inten-
tion to stay behind the resort prof
ect here in a positive manner. Ash
land has an opportunity to get a
$4,000 institution. The investors
are asking nothing in the way Of
money bonus, site or privilege. The
sanitarium will be built Immediately
if the people show their faith in the
project by voting for the amend
ment which as far as the financial
side is concerned is merely a guaran-
tee that the park will be kept up and
the city will remain behind the prof.
ect, which to save the park invest
ment, the city will have to do any
how.
A full discussion OF the PROPOSE
tion will be opened to the public at
the mass meeting to be held at the
Armory tonight.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1916-11-23

If the charter amendment which
the people of Ashland will vote upon
at tomorrow special election, car
ries, outside capitalists stand ready
to commence within sixty days, the
erection of a $4,000 scientific water
cure sanitarium in Ashland, contin-
gent, of course, upon satisfactory ar
rangements for the mineral waters.
A 100000 Oregon corporation
will he formed, half of this amount
having already been subscribed in
cash contingent upon the satisfactory
outcome of the election and the sign
ing of the contract for the mineral
waters.
Options which are held for the
land for the site will be closed and
construction of the sanitarium will
be commenced within sixty days.
The prospective investors have had
this investment under consideration
since last Fourth of July and as Mr.
Mccormick expressed it in the meet
ing held at the city hall upon the
occasion of his recent visit to the
city, The future of this city is ap-
preciated by many big moneyed men,
the only question being whether the
people will stay behind the project.

Take Part in Shoot
For Bankers Trophy

Six members of the local G. A. G.
company went to the rifle range
near Phoenix Tuesday, where they
participated in a shoot, making fair
showing. The shooting was done
under the supervision of officers
from Eugene, these men supervising
the shooting of squads from each
company in the state. The shoot is
for the Bankers Trophy which is put
up annually and contested for in this
manner. Results will be made pub
lie in few days. Owing to the fact
that several of the best shots in the
Ashland company we're unable to get
away Tuesday the boys contend that
a much better score could be made
had the shoot been held on Sunday.

Routine Of
Council Meet

The usual batch OF minutes and re-
ports were cared for at Tuesdays
council meeting. A couple of petit
tions were cared for as elsewhere re-
ported. Mr. Nicholson's request for
a ten days vacation was passed with
the proviso that he hire someone to
take his place since he has been in
the employ of the city less than
year and the annual ten days vaca-
tion with pay is granted only to en-
ployes who have been working for
the city a year or more. The resig-
nation of S. Permission from the park
board was accepted.
The Vienna bakery requested per-
mission to erect a woodshed on the
upper side of the alley back of the
building. The permit was granted
providing the proposed shed was out
side of tie fire limits. Mr.. Miller
has had a tent over his wood, the
tent recently catching fire from some
ashes and necessitating calling out
the fire department. Mr.. Gillette
stated that the proposed shed was
Just outside the 15O-foot limit, ac-
cording to Mr. Yeo.
A map outlining a subdivision in
the Mccall addition out in the Sher-
man street-Boulevard district, deed
ing certain alleys to the city, was
approved. After hearing a report
from a special committee which has
been investigating securing land on
the east of Ashland creek from the
Chautauqua Association for the Wild
ening of Park avenue, the whole
matter was laid on the table for the
present because OF proposition
which the ChautauQua people may
later make to the city.
INDECENT matters were discussed at
some length and police matters
caused a little squabble.
A board of viewers for the north
Ashland sewer was appointed.
The council adjourned at $50.

Greek ChOkeS and
Beats Women

Some weeks ago a Greek and an
American woman eloped from Weed,
leaving the woman's husband behind.
They went to klamath Falls, where
they were arrested on a white slav-
cry charge, Nothing came of the ar
rest, the woman standing up for the
Greek, and finally both were turned
loose, the woman coming to Ashland,
where she has lived since. Sunday
night the Greek, Gus Kutrulis, by
name, forced his way into the house
where the woman was staying, dis
played a revolver and choked and
beat the woman. The woman filed
a complaint against the Greek and
a warrant was issued out of the local
justice court, but no trace has been
found of the man as yet.
