HIGH HATS. IN GREAT FAVOR
One Shows Around the Crown Swath
Of Silk With Black Velvet Discs,
Tied In Bow at Back.

The high crowned hat is In special
favor Just now and one worth noting
shows round the crown Il swath of silk
with black velvet discs; tied In u
saucy bow at the back. In front Is an
original and artistic looking buckle of
dull oxidized silver enameled In black
and n peculiarly vivid shade of tur.
quoise blue---the blue at distance
can hardly be distinguished from the
corresponding shade of green.
With this hat the young matron who

type. This, though very full and wide

proof tulle. because apart from Its
weather resisting properties, this par
ticular kind of tulle stands out and
has frmness to which other varlc'
ties do not aspire. Every frill Is edged
with narrow film of black lace, the
whole being an inexpressibly dainty
affair. and the softest frame to face
that anyone could find.

The Navy league Is in need of COM
fort kits for the men in the navy and
so far has only half the number asked
for. Church societies, clubs, and in.
dividuals are invited to interest them
selves and take this matter up at
once. The kits are made of blue den
i'm. bound with strong braid. and
have compartments for carrying all
the things needed by our sailor boys
to keep themselves and their clothing
fit and "nifty." They are small but
compact and carry an unbelievable
number.
The kits ready to be fitted with tot
let requisites, etc, can he bought ready
made for Sl.OO, and fitted by the indi-
vidual. a fitted kit costs $500. But
the Navy league Is more anxious To
get sewers to make them than to pro.
vide them ready made. A denim pat
tern, ready to make, costs 40 cents
and the cut material costs 30 cents
Societies or individuals may buy the
materials as they choose and with a
pattern to guide them cut and make
the kits. Any information needed
may be obtained by addressing the Kit
department, Woman's section. Navy

Ill.
Fittings for the kits may be bought
through the Navy league. For over
fifty kits they will cost S1.10 each; fol
under fifty S1.25 cents. A club making
fifty kits can usually get contributions
from druggists and merchants in the
way of supplies for them. Each of til,
kits contains the following: A comb

FAVOR LONG coat
Leading Paris Designers United
on One Point.
Skirt OF New Suit Is Plain as Well as
Tight and Short Enough to
Clear the Ankles.

Jenny, like many others Of the lead
ing dressmakers i'm Paris, Is In favor
of the comparatively narrow skirt and
the long coat which covers the knees.
The skirt is, as Il rule, plain as well
as tight, and short enough to clear the
ankles. Then the coat Is ample at the
hem and very picturesque in design.
These new knee-length coats are fash
toned in several different ways. Some
are quite loose, with u wide centurc
to cOniine them ut the waist; others
are so shaped that they mold the form
without being at all tight; others again
are long and loose, like the coats worn
by Cinnamon of high degree. says
Italia de Villiers, Paris correspondent.
The design of the coat permits con-
siderable exercise of individual taste
but the general outline remains the
samoa rather short, tight skirt, and
u long coat.
The Jenny model shown in the
sketch had n great success at the open
ing of this dress artists winter show.

and the long scarf collar, which was
attached to the coat itself, was bor-

Water and Power
For Sans Valley

Formation Of a cooperative COM
munity district, along the lines OF
voluntary irrigation district to in
clude approximately $25, acres of
land in Sans valley, to be bonded for
the construction of an electric power
plant and irrigation system, is pro-
posed by w. ]. Scott of Antioch
It Is proposed to take out in ditch
above the mouth of Big Butte about
/ 1000 second feet flow from the
Rogue river, bring 1t to Elk creek,
and with the drop secured generate
electricity which will be taken by
power lines to Sans valley for use
by the land owners in the district
AS much water as is needed will be
carried in a smaller ditch through
Debenger Gap to irrigate the land,
the landowners receiving both power
and water from a system owned by
themselves.
The power will be apportioned, like
the water, to every acre included in
the district, and be available for
lighting and to supply power for trac-
tion engines for plowing and cultivat-
ing, for clearing land, for farm oper-
ations for sawmills, canneries or 9TH
er enterprises which may be induced
to locate within the district.
Mr. Scott estimates the cost of the
project at approximately $1,000, 900,
to be covered by bond issue not ex-
ceeding $50 per acre for the land In
cluded. The water. he points out,
will double and quadruple the value
of the land and enable owners TO sell
off small tracts at reasonable prices,
while the light and power furnished
will be an added inducement to set
tiers.
No survey or actual estimate Of the
cost of the undertaking has been or
can be made until preliminary organ
ization is completed. A permit to take
the water has been applied for from
the state water board, and the board
assures Mr.. Scott that no right previ-
ously granted will interfere with the
land owners right to the water.

MYSTERIOUS PAINS AND ACHES
Make Life Hard to Bear For Many
Ashland Women.

Too many women mistake their
pains and aches for troubles peculiar
to the sex. More often disordered
kidneys are causing the aching back,
dizzy spells, headaches and irregular
urination. Kidney weakness becomes
dangerous If neglected. Use time
tried kidney remedy-Doan's Kidney
Pills. Hosts of people testify to their
merit. Read an Ashland case:
Mrs. e. T. Wolters, 263 Mountain
avenue, Ashland, says: II have been
taking Doan's Kidney Pills off and
on for a long time whenever | have
felt any need Of kidney medicine
and they have never failed to give
good satisfaction. l am subject to
backache at times and my kidneys
act irregularly. Doan's Kidney Pills
soon remedy his trouble"
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
