Where are the high collars of yester-
year? A dillgent search through the shops
shows them to be conspicuous by their alb
sence. The few really high collars that are
In vogue are cut quite V-shape in the front.
Most OF the frocks OF surnmery materials
have dainty sailor collars of null or or
candle. boldly turned down or frilled, or
arranged any way that Is smart, None are
tight fitting
Methinks that once again Paris has pre-
dicted In vain! The high collar has gone
the way of the nipped-in corset. 1t is total
ly ignored. Even the fashionable woman
would be comfortable this year. Memories
of last summers orgy of V-necked frocks
and airy decolletes are too painful. and one
season of choking is sufficient.
Be she old or young, scrawny or plump,
dark or light, there Is low collar to suit
every type. 1t may be a long.lined. rolling
shawl collar or 1t may be the new lamp
shade which is drawn straight across the
modest round neck of Quaker type--but
there's collar for all Of us, And they're

LONG FIGHT FOR STRIP OF LAND
COMES TO SUDDEN END
WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA

An Swear fight for the strip of
alley back of Carson, Pirie, Scott &
Co., which is owned by Marshall Field
& CO. and leased to Carson's, was
brought to a sudden and mysterious
ending yesterday when attorneys for
Juiette Hansen and Frederick J.
Howe, compliments in the suit
against the Field estate, suddenly
quit cold.
The compliments are the grand
children of Butner L. Morris, original
owner of the property. In 1857 Nor
ris had the property subdiVided and
an alley, the land in question, laid out
through it. Later the property pass
ed into the hands of Levi q. Letter,
who sold it to Marshall Field.
Marshall Field wanted to erect a
building and found the alley would
interfere. That was the time he
bunked the city council into accept
ing a small strip at the east end Of
the property in return for the alley.
Then he erected the building.
Morris heirs claimed the property
was given the city and under the law
could not be sold without their con-
sent. But now they've suddenly quit
the fight,

BIG HOTELS TAXI GRAFT ISL
HIT BY PROPOSED LAW

III ] BI FhOFOOED LAW
Big Business, the newspaper trust
and Chief Healey have lined up to
prevent the passage of a proposed
ordinance that aims to do away with
the danger of taXicab-cluttered
streets and would also force the big
taxi companies to pay something like
a fair amount of their profits to the
city.
Aid. Thos Doyle, the leader in the
fight for the ordinance, brought out
today that the cheapest rent paid by
any firm in the loop is that paid by
the Hotel La Sale Taxi Co. They
pay SIS a year for each of their so
taXis.
And their business is so profitable
that they turned down a new con-
tract from the Walden w. Shaw Co.,
who paid them $4,000 a year for the
taxi privilege. The hotel people
bought fleet of brand new cabs and
started in, the business for them
selves.
There are 1880 taxicabs picking
up their fares in the downtown dis
tTict, most of them around hotels.
OF these, only $50 are owned by pri-
vate individuals. The rest, over
1000 are operated by corporations.
For the S. they pay for each cab
they are allowed to longest the loop
streets, endanger pedestrians and de-
lay traffic. Doyle's ordinance would
prohibit the parking of autos in the
loop between z a. m. and p. m.
Right here Chief Healey butted in
on the discussion of the ordinance
by the council committee and plead
ed that such an ordinance would be
unjust to the poor Individual" But
Doyle had prepared for such an ar
gument.
2 Around the City Hall it is well
known that the Assn of Commerce
has stood behind Chief Healey and

head of the chauffeurs' union. Neary
represented the little fellows. He
swept away Healey's argument by
the assertion that only the big cor
pOrations and the big hotels were
fighting the proposed ordinance. The
profits would not be so big if it were
passed. The companies would be
forced to build downtown garages.
That would cost a great deal of mo-
ney.
In addition it was found that the
only two big companies that have
acted fairly toward the city and to-
ward the men are not opposed to
the ordinance.
The Tribune, the Daily News and
the Post are leading the fight in be-
half of Big Biz against the ordinance.

Growers Accept
Government Plan

G. E. Bassett, who was to have ad-
dressed the gathering of fruitgrow-
ers held at the Commercial Club
Monday, was unable to be present,
but the orchardists who were present
listened to very interesting and in
structive talks by ]. G. Skinner, Pro-
fessor Moore and DR.. Macpherson.
Mr.. Skinner is editor of the Fruit
and Produce Markets" and one of the
best informed men in the country on
apple and pear markets. He ex-
planned the government marketing
plan which was outlined by Mr.. Bas-
sett upon occasion of previous visit
and gave his hearers very clear un-
derstanding of the working of the
plan. He told of the general accept
ance of the plan throughout the
northwest and urged the local grow
ers to take up the plan which is Of
fered and backed by the government
Bureau of Markets.
Professor Moore of the Oregon Ag-
ricultural College spoke regarding the
physical handling of fruit, giving
some suggestions and rules which will
aid in gaining a higher standard OF
fruit grading.
DR.. Hector Macpherson, director of
markets at the Oregon Agricultural
College, spoke on the value of CO.
operation and the new ideas of CO.
operation which we're becoming rec
ognized as necessary to the future of
the fruit business by the fruitmen of
the northwest. DR.. Macpherson made
a pleasing and at the same time a
strong and convincing talk.
The sense of the meeting was to
the effect that the Ashland Fruit and
Produce Association should affiliate
with the marketing organizations and
the directors were authorized to take
steps to that end. The attendance at
the meeting was far from being as
large as was desired, owing to the
fact that the thinning season is just
commencing, but the growers who
were present we're enthusiastic over
the plan.

Plan Lighting
System for Park

The electric committee of the city
council and the springs commission
are figuring together on an econom-
ical and satisfactory lighting system
for Lithia Park. Among the plans
considered is one which will include
the placing of high-powered lights on
each pole along Granite street, cast
ing a flood Of light over the park.
The picnic grounds will be amply
lighted up as is the auto camp. The
big oak tree just toward town from
the bandstand will be hung with dec
orative lights to its very top.
Park avenue will be lighted In a
satisfactory manner and the path up
through Chautauqua Park will be
illuminated. While the parks may
not be blaze of brilliancy, they will
be well lighted and will present a
beautiful picture at night.
