Damseis whose physioenomies would

Riding on the subway. I became envious
Of eyebrows. 1t seemed to me that every
second woman who boarded for office or
shopping was gifted with n pair of perfect
eyebrows.
"Perhaps," I communed with myself
/ -there's a colony located somewhere In
West Philadelphia for the perpetuatlon of
the perfect eyebrow"
But no one whom consulted had heard
Of such a place.
But where did they all come from? 1

EXTOLS THE CITY

Judge Sam White, formerly on the
circuit bench in eastern Oregon, hav-

week visiting friends and seeing Hood
River for the first time. Judge White
took a walk up to the top of the
Heights, where he could glimpse the
snowcapped mountains and gain a
birdseye view of the town. He de-
clared that he had never seen pref

| have never been here before.
Judge White is a Georgian born. and
began the practice of law in Atlanta.
He likes to tell story of one of his
early cases, when he and his partner
called in Woodrow Wilson and partner
on a consultation. Hoke Smith, now
United States senator from Georgia,
was on the other side of the suit.
Woodrow Wilson a little later
starved out of the practice of law and
went to North Carolina to teach
school, says Judge White. "and short
ly afterward starved out and came to
Oregon to take up the practice Of
law"
Judge White has been at The Dalles
to attend the organization of Wood

J. H. Ferguson Explains Accident
Hood River, Ore, Sept. 25 ,191e

Hood River, Ore, Sept. 25 1916.
Editor Glacier: To correct the i'm
pressions that may have been gained
by erroneous reports of the accident
that recently occurred at an intersec-
tion of Belmont roads, when my car
and that of F. s. Dewitt, driven by
Salmon Gassoway. collided, | wish to
explain the accident.
East of the road that turns south by
the place of A. D. Ramsey. l was driv-
ing from town. Young Gassoway, west
of the intersection. was coming towa
town. We we're about to meet at the
intersection of the roads. The cars
collided east of the road intersection
just outside the yard of the H. P. Allen
home. Reports of the regretable acci-
dent seem to place all the blame on
me. A study of the position of the
machines, however, shows otherwise.
As soon as we gathered ouselves up
from the wrecks, took Mrs. Ferguson
into the Allen home and then went
back to help with the others. Later
Miss Aldine Bartmess came along and
carried Mrs. Ferguson in to town in
her buggy, and machine carried the
unfortunate victims of the other car
home. With Harley Glass | inspected
my machine, but we thought it best
not to drive it to town, since the radi-
ator was leaking badly. Mr.. Ramsey
brought me home in his machine.
