BATHING BEACH STYLES.-Our
bathing beaches will be fine places
for comic artists to get inspirations
this coming summer when the alder
manic committees ruling on bath

whose shirt happens to shrink beyond
six inches above the knee limit will
be hauled before some judge and

Our morals would collapse if our
panties didn't come within four

wear Mother HUbbards and play
safe? They wouldn't be any more
IudicTOUs than the outfit the commit
tee demands. III bet the physical
condition and appearance of the
members of the committee are such
that Mother Hubbards would be just
the thing for them to wear.
Will the public stand for this nom
sense? I suppose so. We will stand
for almost anything. We ought to
be thankful that the committee did
not put the bare skin limit at our an
kles. Perhaps after Billy Sunday

seems to be growing tendency among
Westerners to demand exclusiveness
for the names of their towns, no mat
ter how or whore they got them in the
first place. Not long ago, Oakland, Cal.
sent letters to other towns called Oak
land asking them if the would be kind
enough to change their name 80 as to
assist the "sunkist' community near
the Golden Gate in it's effort to stand
out conspicuously and alone. Portland,
Ore no doubt, feels embarrassed, now
and then, by the confounding of it's
name with Portland, Me-. and it is not
unlikely that both would be better con
tented if the island of the same name
near the Dorsetshirc coast of England,
would withdraw from any claim, near
or remote, to relationship with fa-
nous cement. If the ambition of towns
and cities in the United States to OBJ
tain the exclusive right to the names
they bear should spread, East Liver
pool, Pa; New London, Conn; Man
chester, n. H.; Belfast, Mt; Paris,
KY; Rome, N. T.; Lynn, Cambridge,
and Boston, Mass. and innumerable
other towns and cities in the United
States that are called after towns and
cities abroad, might fall into the way
of pleading with the latter to change
their names. The matter might go even
farther than this. 1t might be possible
that New Eogland, carried away by
the passion for cxclusiveness, such as
has manifested itself in the case of
Oakland, Cal, and Salem, Ore, would
be led to write Old England to change
its namel Those western idiosyncrasies
are somewhat like other things which
people first abhor, then pity, then EN-
brace.

WHAT WILL Be TYPE

CONTINUED from page one.)

the manner in which the discussion re-
gRrding it were held indicated general
belief that it was question of whether
or not the Vtype would supplant the
vertical type. This is no longer the
case any more than there is question
rs to whether the eventual engine will
be the four or six. 1t seems to be quite
wen understood that there win always
be a field for all types.
One of tho engineers who has re-
responsible for the introduction OF the
twelve.cyliuder engine. in passenger
cars in this country presented a paper
before the Society of Automobile En-
gineers at the time of the introduction
OF the type in which he outlined the
reasons for his company taking up the
twelve. Briefly stated, these were lar.
gely concerned with smoothness Of op'
Grafton, reduction Of weight as compar-
ed with the power developed, and in
general accessibility and efficiency.
Ia regard to the smoothness of opera
ton, the facE that the twelve-cylinder
engine has six power impulses to every
revolution of the crankshaft and the
eight.eylindet has four impulses to ev.
cry revolution shows that the continu-
Gus flow of power that is secured is
bound to give smooth operation in these
types. The reason that the angle be-
tween the cylinder blocks of twelve.
cylinder engine is go degrees is that in
order to get six impulses for crank
shaft revolution it is necessary to di-
vide $50 degtees, or complete circle,
by six in order to give equal divisions
OF the circle This results in go degrees
at which angle the cylinders must be
set
The reason that the Nshape engine
is used instead of having the eight or
twelve cylinders strung out in a line is
that in the Y type il is possible to get
an engine with a great amount of pow
and at the same time to have a short,
sturdy crankshaft The twin six, or "
eight engines are hardly longer than
their corresponding skies and fours, and
for this reason it il great deal better
10 mount the cylinders in a Y than TO
place them in single line. II the later
method We're used il would be necessary
10 take up entirely too much of the
wheel base. One Of tthe companies
that adopted the twin.six engine states
that its product is approximately 800
pounds lighter than the six which pre-.
ceded il and has approximately 10 per
cent more power up to 1890 T, p, m. Of

One OF the greatest effects Of the

Company VI at La Grande !
Pleased With Surroundings
andReguLar Home Treatment

The Capital Journal is pleased to
publish herewith an account of how
the members of Company M are be-
ing treated by the citizens of La
Grande, Oregon, where the company is
stationed. The story is written by
Corporal Richard o. Hansen, news
paper man of this city, who is well
known to everybody, and it gives
vivid glimpse of the duties the boys
are having to do. In fact, this story
is the first to be received from "the
'front.' and comes from the columns of
'The La Grande Observer
While the headquarters of the COM
pany is at La Grande, the active duties
take the boys over into Idaho part of
the time. Each group or platoon that
goes on duty stays out three days, re-
turns and is in La Grande at least six
days before going out on patrol duty
again.
The following is the story by Cor
poral Richard Hansen:
With squad and platoons of "boys
in olive drab" drilling and marching
in its streets, with heavily armed and
fully equipped detachments of uni
formed men leaving at intervals for
unknown destinations, with the far
carrying, clear notes of the bugles
sounding frequently, La Grande, since
the arrival of Company NJ, Third Ore
gon Infantry, has taken ON a military
atmosphere which it has not expert
enced since the days of the Spanish
war Captain j. R. Neer, business
man with 13 years military expert
ence. is in command of the company.
The soldiers are quartered in the
basement of the First Methodist
church, which has been donated for
their use while they are in this city.
There they sleep on canvas cots which
are piled in tiers around the sides of
the room to increase the floor space
during the day, The three cooks, as
sisted by several men who are changed
each day, make the kitchen very
busy place because the appetites of
the young men, living in the open air
and drilling hard for six hours a day
as thev are, are almost limitless The
quantities of food consumed would
seem appalling to the ordinary house
wife but there is not a case Of indi-
gestion from over eating among the
boys and it is probable there will not
be. The food is plain but well cooked,
Of a character which will make Drawn
and sturdiness and is sufficiently var
led and the ration is so balanced that
there is no monotony.
At present there is in La Grande
only about half the entire membership
of the company, the remainder Of the
men being on "detail" at various
points Somewhere in the United
States.n This city is, however, the
headquarters Of the entire company.

COMPANY M EyceIs

1t is a tradition that Company NJ
exeels all other companies of the ma
tional guard of Oregon in type of men
and efficiency of drill. When the com.
pany was on the Mexican border last
year, about 80 per cent of the men
were college graduates, many were
state officials, there were thirteen law
yers, and there were various other
professional and business men.
Though the company has undergone
a radical change in personnel since the
return from the border as many of the
old men were mustered out in Septem-
Der, yet general type of manhood in
the company at present is fully as fine.
There are over thirty men in the com
pany who in civil life are students of
willamette university at Salem, an in
stitution which additionally has held
the highest ideals of manhood. Some
of the men are from Kimball College
of Theology, an institution affiliated
with willamette university. There are
two men from University of Oregon,
both of whom were members of the
company when it was on the border.

Quality Of WilIys-0verland
Material Is Proven

Information Just received from the
Toledo factory of the WHY'S Overland
company by the local WHY'S sOverland
dealer contains novel endorsement
of the WHY'S construction and
the quality of the material used by that
company in its production.
Last year, it is announced, the
steamer Wisely, carrying a cargo of
general merchandise bound for Vladivo-
stock, caught fire at sea, and was
beached ON the Chinese coast, about six
hundred miles from Hong Kong.
Included in the vessels cargo were
eighteen six-cylinder Overland touring
cars
Some time ago the vessel was raised
and the greater part of the cargo was
salvaged
These eighteen touring cars when
raised to the surface presented a sorry
appearance. The vessel had been on
fire for several days, before sinking to
the bottom, where it lay for three
months
During all this time the cars were
subjected to the effects of fire. smoke
and water In addition, chemicals which
the boat also carried, affected the paint
and upholstery.
Examination revealed, however, that
the motors and ehasses were in excellent
condition. At an everage cost of 5000
these chasses were refinished and put
into livery service. According to let
ter from their owners to the home fac
tory in Toledo they are giving excellent
satisfaction.

the vote without changing the
