TLAITS and tunics make two very
important features of the Spring
styles We will wear number
less plated gowns and plated skirts
and they are very apt to be becoming.
We also will wear a great variety OF
tunics both for afternoon and for
evening costumes and these tunics
very often will be draped to give
breadth while the skirt beneath is
narrow. We are not going to be hob
bled, or we hope we are not going to
be hobbied. There is very great
tendency toward the return to narrow
skirts and straight-lines but it is modi-
fed, Of course, because we cannot
repeat anything in fashions. The
tunics give breadth to the figure while
nevertheless, skirts are narrower and
also they are longer. Happily, we are
not likely to see two inches of trans
parent hosiery above the high shoes

MODERN CORPORA
TIONS NOT SOULLESS

Affairs in some of the war-torn ma
tions today would hardly warrant the
general statement that the world is
growing better; and yet normally there
is evidence that it is. Two hundred
and fifty thousand workmen employed
in American industries have had their
lives insured by their employers. This
represents insurance policies to the
total amount of about $3.50, 600, 900.
The premiums on these insurance poll
cies are paid by the companies for
which the men work. This system of
insurance for. employees, paid for and
maintained by the employers, has been
growing over a period of about five
years, but has attracted little public
attention. The whole subject was
forced to the front the first of the year
by the action of the board of directors
of the Union Pacific system, which
took out insurance policies covering
every one of its employees from 16 to 70
years of age who have been in service
one year or longer and who are not re-
ceiving more than $1,000 year in sal
ary.
This one instance means an insur-
ance policy of $50, 900, 600 and includes
some $4,000 employees at work on 5000
miles Of railway. Men and women
are included. the Office boy as we'll as
the Oldest employe. There was no ex.
animation, notwithstanding the fact
that on the first of the year the Union
Pacific system had more than two
hundred men in its employ who were
65 years Of age and over. No distinc-
tion was made between the clerk in
the general Office and the men EN-.
ployed in hazardous occupations, nor
between union and non-union employees.

Pine Grove Ladies Meet

The ladies of the Pine Grove Aid
held very pleasant meeting at the
home of Mrs. Hans Lage on Friday af-
ternoon of last week. The occasion
was silver tea, the proceeds to be
used for the new church CARPET. About
40 ladies were present and the sum OF
$5. .05 was received.
A reading by Mrs. J. E. Ferguson.
of Odell, and violin solo by Miss Fer
rim were appreciated. Mrs. A. G..
Lewis presented the work of the auxil-
iary of the Coast Artillery of Hood
River and suggested that such an or
ganization be formed on the East Side.
DIR. Thrane then talked on the work
for the Red Cross which the stay-at-
homes may do, and offered to conduct
classes in practical nursing, prepara-
tion and use of bandages, dietetics and
economy in food stuffs. Both married
women and young ladies are welcome
to these classes free of charge. DR..
I Thrane also purposes to give First
Aid'' instruction to the Boy Scouts.
He urged the necessity of planting
larger gardens, and the canning of
; fruit and vegetables on larger scale
for the use of the soldiers.
DIR. Thrane's offer shows great pat
riotism and should meet with hearty
response in Pine Grove. Such train
ing for the housewife is of great bene-
| fit in the home in peace as we'll as in
war. All interested in this Red Cross
work, orsthe auxiliary to provide com.
forts for our soldier boys are requested
to meet at the home of Mrs. F. H.

William A., "Bill," "Sage of po-
dunk" Cass, who won a reputation as
a student, poet and philosopher while
at the University of Oregon, and who
is now winning laurels as an educator,
is adding further renown to his
''scutcheon" as devote of the muse
of poesy. Mr.. Cass has won a prize in
contest put on by The Shovel, a
house organ issued by the Rock
Springs Coal Co. By the following
poem, called "A Rock Springs Ro-
NANCE" MIR. Cass as.won third prize
There was maid that livedlout West,
Who with no suitor had been blessed.
But was that cause for her to sob,
While Rock Springs Coal was on the
job?
On one cold night our maiden wise,
She fed friend on hot mince pies.
With Rock Springs Coal she kept her
home
So none who came would care to roam.
At last the daring man grew bold,
"You burn that Rock Springs Coal,
Pm told,
Which shows you have burned good
head,
Will you be miner" was all he said.
And then he whispered with his fifth,
"I'll give you as wedding gift,
Five tons of Rock Springs Coal SO
clean,
And we'll be warm thru fat and lean. "
In a letter answering a request for
photograph, Mr.. Cass breathes the
spirit of a style similar to that of o.
Henry. The letter follows:
Hood River, Ore., March 13, 1917.
