SLOUCHING GIRLS ARE
NO MORE FASHIONABLE

Listen, girls, according to recent
dispatch from Washington, it isn't
stylish any more to stand on the
heel of one foot and the inside of
the other and the head jauntily cock
ed on one side.
That was very pretty back in the
day of peace and wastefulness, our
war has changed the styles in the
interest of efficiency.
In the old days you could af-
ford to have headache at 3 p. m,
and feel all worn out and lazy at a
p. m. But it isn't patriotic now.
Hence, you must stand up straight,
both feet squarely on the ground,
weight resting on the balls Of the
feet, head up, chest out, waist in,
after the new fashion of efficiency.
Miss Margaret Sanderson, employ
ed by the government to increase the
efficiency Of thousands Of govern
ment employees in Washington, Is
spreading the new style. Posture
has much to do with efficiency, she
says. Ill fitting shoes, and shoes of
unsanltary shapes, the next in order
as allies of the kaiser in decreasing
American efficiency
Men as we'll as women are guilty
Of faulty posture and bad shoes, says
Miss Sanderson. But men never con-
sciously cultivated the habit of try
ing to touch the left inside ankle to
the sidewalk while standing talking
to gentleman friend. One should
stand as though trying to touch the
ground will all ten toes at the same
time, she says. If you hang your
head, your stomach says at the wrong
end, and overworks itself. thereby
helping to give you a headache and
tired feeling.
Miss Sanderson assures us Of
greater war-winning power if we
will observe these injunctions:
In walking up stairs, don't boost
yourself along by the banisters. Raise
yourself by the ankles. In going
down, don't thump and jar your
whole body.

GOVERNMENT POWDER PLANTS
ARE NOW IN OPERATION

Operation has begun in two gov
ernment powder plants two months
ahead of schedule. When the task
OF building the plants was consid-
cred by the war department in Jan
uary it was predicted that the pro-
duction of powder might begin in
August, barring unforeseen delays.
The S120,0O0,OO0 allotted for the
rlants is expected to give the gov
ernment a smokeless powder produc-
tlon capacity equal to all other Amer
ican plants combined.
In construction of the plants it was
found necessary to build new town
on each site to house the employees,
and approximately 5000 different
buildings were erected. Streets were
put down and were severed, power
plants constructed, and stores and
hospitals built. Approximately 95,-
coo men worked on construction and
about 10000 will eventually be en-
gagged in the actual production OF
powder.

Mikado Drew Big Audience

The open-air production of the
opera Mikado given in the Phoenix

great many people from Ashland
Thursday night. Under the capable
direction Of Mrs. George Andrews on
an open air stage, which was most
effectively decorated with Japanese
lanterns and banked with green, this
ever refreshing classic of Gilbert and
Sullivan was presented with a dash,
understanding and musical apprecia-
tion which would have done credit
tc the best professional company.

entire cast, and to pick any individ-
ual character for particular praise
would be unjust to all the others,

was the excellent chorus work, it
being no exaggeration to say that the
ensemble pieces were presented with
degree OF excellence that has never
been achieved before in any amateur
production in southern Oregon. Geo.
