TYERY nation has her holiday
with a special significance az.
taehed to each. In America we
have a holiday when people exchange
gifts, another when each individual
stops to revere past heroes, and a day,
when everyone expresses a feeling Of
gratitude. There are other days with
a different but special meaning at
taehed 20 them. Society is moody and
what pleases her at one time fails to
appeal at another. But instinetively
she let's her affairs be influenced by
the season of. the year.
IF there is a religious anniversary or
a day of festivity, she responds ae-
cordingly by celebration in harmony
with the spirit of the occasion. So it is
that the nature of festivities of any
particular holiday depends upon the
reason for that day being especially
recognized. The Fourth of July is a
day that has its individual meaning
and hence its individual celebration.
Usually it suggests a display of noise
and brilliant fire works. This year the
celebrations were more refined and
Quiet, revealing a deep sense Of patriot
SsEn, that was sensed throughout the
country.
Many families motored out to eoun-
try places for day of recreation and
informal parties of all kinds were in
vogue. But owing to people s patriotic
sense money was not so lavishly spent
for the sensational Fourth of July
fire works.
There were many picnic parties,
family gatherings and some wandered
np the river or to the woods to spend
the day. The functions were not elab-
crate, but were suitable to war times,
by having the element of pleasure to
relieve the tense feeling of strained
conditions, without involving undue ex-
pense. The Columbia Highway, Silver
Greek fails, Silverton and Livesley

people.

day evening on her way to Pendeton.
She plans Ito visit an Indian reserva-
tion near Pendleton with the purpose
of studying the Indians in their native
songs and religious ceremonies.
Mrs. Gingrich is making an intens-
i've study of Indian music and has sung
many Indian songs which she inter
prets by the art of pantomine. She
expects to observe the Indians for sew
eral days and thus to catch the true
spirit CT Indian ideas and life that
she may express it better to others.
One Of the most delightful parties
Of the week was the one given yester-
day afternoon at the home Of Mrs. Il.
Hofer on 765 South Commercial street.
1t was in honor Of Mrs. r. B. Houston,
who has been visiting friends in Salem
for some time. AS Mrs. Houston form

certainly admired his fighting proclivi-
ties
Flags at Half Mast.
As mark Of respect to him, ] di-
rect all flags for which he gave his
life, be half masted on every public
padding in the city,"
Nayor Hylan this afternoon sent the
following telegram to Mrs. Mitchell at
he aviation grounds where her husband
was Killed:
" In this hour Of your great bereave-
inert permit me to extend to you in
Ire name of the people Of the city over
which your husband presided, and In my
eva name, the sincere sympathy we all
feel for you. Mayor Mitchel's life was
sacrificed in the most hallowed cause,
one for which his forebearers fought
with the valor of their race. His coun.
trymen will not forget him."
Intimate friends of Major Mitchell
here today expressed the belief that
his death may have been the result Of
sudden severe attack of headache, to
which he was subject. These attacks
were attributed to fever from which
he suffered twelve years ago. During
tIhe attacks he was compelled to remain
in a dark room and his suffering was
described as most intense.
