Week before last four Hood River
boys, high school students, lett for
Portland to join Uncle Sans navy. A
large number of the students of the
high school were present to bid their
els mates good bye. Sisters of two
of the boys..were present. They kissed
their bothers, and before the boys had
reached the car steps some half dozen
of the girls had kissed all of the boys
good bye. Some of the girls partici-
pating in the farewell demonstration
were members of the Girls Honor
Guard. A news story resulted in some
criticism of the Hood River girls. But
we have heard no one who knows the
circumstances offering the least criti-
cism. If anyone is not willing to con-
done the action of the girls, we refer
hip or her to Irvin--S. Cobb's recent

LEARNING TO FORGET BEAUTY
Difficult Lesson for Woman, Asserts
! English Writer, in Describing the
AGED Queen Alexandra.

! .There is no More difficult lesson for
a woman to learn than that OF learning
how to forget that she has been beautl'
full" writes clever English woman.
zone afternoon I saw Queen Alex
Iandra driving slowly in her open motor
through the gates at Hyde Park cor
iner. For the first time it occurred TO
me that this rarely lovely queen Is now
an old woman nearing four-score years
of age. Perhaps she had forgotten TO
he alert. as is her usual custom, or per-
hans the heat of the day had fatlgued
her. But at any rate there was
touch of tragedy in the thought that
Oueen Alexandra is learning Slowly,
but surely, that extreme beauty can
fade although the charm of person
,elitv can challenge the attack of time.
81 fancy it must have been the queen
mothers costume that brought TINS
idea most surely before me. She was
wearing a mantle or cloak made OF
some material in shade OF 1rldescent
blue spangles with a close frilling OF
black lace all round the edge. Her hat
or bonnet was of the usual royal shape
and built of jetted stuff to match ner
cloak. with a small white aigrette
standing erect in front.
"Under ordinary circumstances one
would regard this quaint nineteenth
| century toilet of the queen mothers as
characteristic conventionality. but
somehow. on this sunny afternoon II
represented to me sacrifice to the In
| eyitable."

CAPTURING GorilIas.

1t is said that no gorilla has ever
been captured alive after he IS 1uil
grown. Gorillas fear nothing. Even
when MORALLY wounded they show an
agility, strength and ferocity which IS
astonishing. A traveller stated that 1t
would take $50 men to hold down
gorilla with any degree of safety. On
the other hand, all other apes are easy
to capture. The usual method is for
a trapper to seat himself where he IS
certain to be observed by these crea-
lures and pretend to drink from a bot
tie of crude spirits, When he is sure
that he has been observed, he leaves
the bottle and goes away. The mo-
ment his back is turned the monkeys
rush to appease their curiosity con-
corning the contents of the bottle.
They like the taste of the spirits and
quarrel among themselves for it till
the bottle has been emptied. They are
soon overcome by the intoxicant, and
the trapper returns and gathers them
up.

Ewes Made of Rubber.

Everybody knows at eyes were
made to rubber. Very few know that
eyes are now being made of rubber.
This is one Of the million results Of the
war, notes a correspondent.
Glass eyes are always more or less
uncomfortable, and frequently insight
Iy, and it is interesting, therefore
when the deformities of war are so
serious a subject Of consideration, to
learn that two French workers, Nine.
Lemaitre and Teuillieres, have evolved
an entirely new method Of replacing a
lost eye. BY the use of combination
of hard and soft rubber substance
they have achieved their aim and are
producing an eye that looks well and
feels well.
