Carey F. Martin left this morning for
Eugene to attend the funeral services
of Jack Campbell, who was accidently
killed Saturday afternoon while hunt
ing. The young man stumbled and fell,
resulting in the gun shot striking him
on the head. He was son of Ira Camp
bell, formerly editor of the Eugene
Guard, and a grandson of Jack Cogs-
well, a noted pioneer of the early Ore
gon days. The mother has been a life
long friend of Mr.. Martin.

Second Liberty bonds to the amount
of $500 were bought by j. E. Adams, in
charge of the navy recruiting office in
Salem. In the western naval recruiting
district, the men subscribed $48, ,150, an
average of $261. The recruiting officers
are well paid as none of them draw less
than $125 a month. Mr.. Adams who has
been eleven years in service and who
has handled so successfully the navy re-
cruiting from the Salem station, is on
the pay roll at the rate of $141 month.
For your lyceum tickets. This is the
last week.
At the meeting of the city council
this evening, besides the usual routine
business, the bill board ordinance will
come up for its third and final read
ing. There will also be request for
temporary covering for the Snider
auction loeation at High and Ferry
streets. 1t is probable that the budget
for the next year win be discussed. The
question to come up is whether the city
wants to go ahead with its improv-
ements or whether or account of the
war, it shall cut off a big part of its
expenses.

Alaska Natives Like Taxis.

High, white-topped shoes and silk
and satin party gowns, worn by native
Alaskans, are cited by J. L. McPher-
son Of the Seattle chamber Of COM
merce as proof Of the prosperity be-
ing enjoyed by the residents of that
territory. seq
Mr.. Mcpherson, who has returned
from q six weeks trip to Alaska, says
that the present fad of the Ketchikan
natives is taxi riding at cost of So
an hour, according to the Seattle Post
Intelligencer. The seven taxicabs re-
Gently installed at Ketchikan are doing
a land Office business, he says. To
bid good-by to a native departing on
one of the boats, an entire family of
native friends rode down to the dock,
alighted and shook hands with him,
wishing him a good voyage, re-entered
their motor car and the head Of the
family airily waved to the chauffeur,

PREFERS MIDDLE OF COACH
Safest Place in Case of Accident and
Far More Comfortable Riding,
Old Engineers Opinion.

Two men going on a short railroad
trip entered a car and the one in the
lead walked Immediately to the first
vacant seat. which was on the left side
near the door.
"Come on up here" said his COM
panion as he gave tug at the others
arm. Here's a good seat" With
that the two went to place near the
middle of the car on the right side.
"What's the gamer asked the first
traveller of his friend, who was an old
time railroad engineer, as the two
pumped down into the seat chosen by
the latter. II can't see any difference
in the seats. One looks as good to
me as the other In a railroad train,
except that sometimes when travelling
at night want to take position In
which the lights strikes my paper
when / desire to read"
''When I get into a car" replied the
ex-engine driver, II always try to get
on the right side near the middle. as
it is the safest In case Of an accident.
In the first place, the right side is In
less danger from side swipe, espe-
cially on a two-track line. In the Sec
ond place, If collision should occur
the middle Of the car generally Is the
least damaged, it seldom being much
affected If the cars telescope. In the
third place there is more comfort, be-
cause passenger can escape riding
over the trucks, as the points above
the wheels get most of the humping
and noise"

Leopard Ship of the Sea.

Fooling the enemy is a remunera.
tive and interesting pastime with the
allies, says Popular Science Monthly.
They have their ,camoufiage on land +;
now comes the ,camoufage Of the sea.
A ship is painted with spots which
fade. out into glittering and SHIN
mering haze in the sunlight. A SUBJ
marine commander one or two miles
distant might look straight at the ship
and never see her.
The spots are Of light gray and navy
blue, which, even on a sunless day,
blend with the waves Of the ocean.
The indistinct outline which this gives
makes the ship poor target.

Work and the BUSY World.

Are you one of the persons who can
not work in crowd? If you are, you
are most unfortunate person, for it
is fact that in this busy age most of
us have to learn to do our work
wherever we may happen to be. 1t is
seldom that we find it possible to work
in seclusion, shut away from the noise
and rush of business, observes an eff
cheney engineer.
Most large business concerns are
beehives of activity. Unless one can
find it possible to concentrate on the
work in hand, even in the midst of
confusion, 1t is plain to see that much
time will be lost and much energy
wasted in this rushing world, where
each one faces many duties in many
lines of activity.

Usual Conversation.

The first exclamation from woman
shopper when she sees anything that
attracts her attention Is, "Oh, aren't
they sweet~ And as she stops to paw
whatever it is, she inquiries the price.
If 1t suits her pocketbook the next
question is, "Do you guarantee them?"
Recently fastidious young thing f1ut-
tered her way down the lingerie aisle
of a New York emporium and halted
before a counter whereon was heaped
what the advertisement writer's term
robes du mutt, but which facetious per-
sons call "nighties." The young wom-
an gurgled with delight. After salts
flying herself that they were all right
she inquired the price. Then she hesi-
tated for a moment and out came the
old stereotyped question: "Do you
guarantee them?" Certainly, ma'am," |"
replied the clerk glibly, "you can't wear
them out" f

Chart for New York Harbor.

A revised chart Of New York har-
Dor, on a scale Of 100000, has been
issued by the United States coast and
geodetic survey. The labor involved
in bringing such chart up to date
is illustrated by the fact that in one
year there have been for this chart
253 different items Of change, which
required 233 working days to compile
and engrave. Marked changes in the
contour Of the bottom, disclosed by
recent surveys, are shown at the en-
trance between Sandy Hook and
Coney island.

STYLE FOR ARAB WEDDING
Bridegroom Must Ride Nervous Horse
Without Reins or Stirrups, in
Middle of Procession.

Coming through the streets of Al
giers of Sn evening you may meet a
noisy procession that causes you to
wonder whether it is food riot or a
revolutionists' parade. This is an
Arab wedding procession, one Of the
most ingenious devices ever developed
for the embarrassment and mental tor
ture of the bridegroom, says globe
trotter.
1t is headed by the father of the
bridegroom, an elderly gentleman, who
PAGES soberly ahead, out of the con-
fusion, attended by few philosophi-
cal friends, all clad in white. Be
hind him come a mob of young men
carrying torches and lanterns tied to
the ends of poles, beating drums and
blowing tin horns, yelling at the top of
healthy voices. The center of the
procession is made up Of particular
friends of the bridegroom, who burn
red and green flares in addition to
waving torches of the milder sort. Be-
hind them is band of hired musi-
clans, trailed by all the small boys,
dogs and idlers of Algiers.
All this parade naturally attracts a
certain amount of attention. In the
middle of it, mounted on nervous
horse, very much embarrassed and
self-conscious, rides the bridegroom.
He seems to ride very unsteadily and
awkwardly, but closer observation
shows he is doing well to ride at all,
for friends have taken the stirrups
from his feet and the reins from his
hands so that he has to hold on by
force of gravity and his sense Of equi-
librium. The red fire and the drums
generally stimulate his mount to SUI
perequine activity, and it is marvel
that none of the enthusiastic friends
get stepped on. The bridegroom, it
is safe to surmise, is not sorry when
his triumphal procession is over.
AS for the bride, she escapes all
this. A few of her girl friends ac-
company her on quiet procession of
her own in the afternoon when she
leaves her fathers house for her new
home.

FAV0RITE SPORTS OF TODAY
Baseball and Football Are Games
Evolved From Daily Work of
'tf Our Forefathers.

Play Is ancestral work. The things
our forefathers, near or remote, did
to live, we do for fun, muses. an ex-
change. Away back in the dim dis
tance, they lived by hunting-and by
dodging the creatures which were
hunting them. In those days, it con-
siderably strengthened ones grip on
life to be able to throw stone with
accuracy, to hit quickly and strongly
with club, to run from tree to tree
so swiftly and with such nice judg-
ment Of distance as to foil old Saber-
Tooth, the original apostle Of fright
fulness. al&9e an
The men who could do these things
well left descendants. Generations,
centuries, aeons passed, and these
descendants, struggling to repeat the
daily work Of their forbears, evolved
such games as cricket, one old cat,
and FOUNDERS. Out of this last, by
happy chance and happier genius, was
developed baseball, to exercise our
lungs, improve our eyes and increase
our vocabularies.
Far different is the origin of foot
ball. The keynote Of that is the
massed rush-like the one which won
the battle of Marathon. Sometimes
the massing is extra close, correspond
ing to the charge Of the Theban col
umn at Leuctra, and with pretty near
" as high a proportion of casualties
until the rule makers abolished the fly
ing wedge. But even in the most open
game, football is essentially a disci-
plined charge, and the activities it
calls into play are immeasurably less
ancient than those of baseball.
Why the one game has become the
greatest of professional sports and the
other the peculiar joy of colleges, no
one can say, but so it is. Perhaps half
the problem can be solved by recol-
lecting that the college age is the mill
tary age, and takes naturally to
game which miDaics ancient war.

A lovely and dainty matched set, in
Guiding a lamp shade, telephone
screen and waste basket are an al
lurement that has been added to this
years holiday gifts. They are made
of plain and brocaded satin ribbon and
designed for milady's own rooms. But
there is no reason why they should
not be adopted to living rooms or to
mems rooms as well. 1t is a matter of
selecting the right colors and designs
in the ribbon, and the details of finish
ing could be changed little.
The set shown in the picture is made
of plain rose-colored satin ribbon and
a brocaded ribbon with rose-colored
ground and figures in gray, rose, gold
and soft green. In the lamp shade
there are six panels alternating the
plain and the figured ribbon. On each
plain panel there is a little cluster of
ribbon roses, repeating the colors in
the brocade. Their foliage is suggest
ed by the soft green ribbon, that joins
a group Of three to q single rose on
each panel, and trails on beyond them.
The lamp standard, of wood or
glass is covered with the plain ribbon,
cut to fit it. Plaitings and ruchings
of narrow rose colored satin ribbon,
cover the seams in the shade and in
the covering of the standard.
In the basket the panels of plain
and brocaded ribbon are gathered, the
screen made of one brocaded panel and
two plain panels. In the basket there
are six panels alternating as in the
lamp shade. All the pieces are lined
with plain rose-colored satin put on
smoothly. The little screen is tall
enough to conceal telephone and fin
ished with a shirred and wired bow of
plain satin at the top of the central

The Accepted DecoIIetaoe.

Tradition is one thing and present
fact is another, and 1t is evident that
the majority of American women will
accept the decolletage that is cut about
three inches below the bend Of the
neck and runs away to the end Of the
shoulder, writes an authority.
1t is seen on many Of the French
gowns and the best American origina-
tions. 1t is adopted for jumpers, for
informal dinner frocks. and it prevails
on the one-piece frock Of serge, worsted
or satin that has come dangerously
near usurping the place Of the tailored
coat suit in the fall.

from a schoolboy's amusement into a

Of one pfennig apiece for every but

with the result that the school children
have already handed in $4,000 at Solin-
gen and 10000 at Dusseldorf. The
method was adopted to combat the con-

10 Wax Floors.

Apply by means of a flannel cloth
beeswax which has been thinned with
turpentine. Then rub into the floor
well. This is hard wax and can
hardly be applied without the turpen-
tine, but the latter quickly evaporates
and the wax then forms a very dur
able finish. If one has no beeswax,
paraffin wax will do just as well, but
it is less durable.
