The other coat is of heavy velours.
with wide shawl collar and turned
back cuffs of moleskin plush, all in
taupe color. Except for two plaits at
the side stitched down to the hip
lines, it is entirely plain. Just by way
of showing how expertly stitching can
be managed the designer of this coat
placed small insert of cloth under
n cut-out in the sleeve above the cuff
Its color has much to do with the ele-
gance of this coat and demands the
sort of designing that appears in it.
1t is a gentlewoman's coat-equal to
nearly all the demands of the winter
season and very handsome garment
with all its simplicity. 1t buttons up
the front and may be brought up close
about the neck where the plush collar
will prove as warm as fur.

Among the pretty frocks shown at
the style show was this one of poplin,
indulging in narrow bands of velvet,
and in plated panels at the back and
front. Only silk frocks can be allowed
the extravaganza of plaits; it is out
of the question to allow extra Quanti-
ties of wool for them. This attractive
dress has more than a generous al
lowance of plaits to it's credit, for it
displays new management Of the
bodice. For the slender woman who
nspires to wear a straight line dress but
hopes not to look angular, this is a
model worth studying.
The bodice is extended several inch
es below the waistline and is straight,
with bands of velvet that relieve it's
plainness and improve the figure. The
sleeves are banded in the same way
and finished with velvet cuff-that
Is simply wide band. The little
jacket is plain and has shoulder cape
that widens the shoulder lines, and it
falls in a Slight ripple over the bust

Fur fabrics have passed the expert
mental stage and are now as much a
part of the winters resources for gar
ments and trimmings as furs them
selves. They are used as furs are,
for trimming cloth coats and for the
body Of coats that are usually fin
ished off with genuine fur in collars
and cuffs. Their manufacture has
reached such a degree of excellence
that they cain bear the closest sort of
comparison with natural furs. When
the question of durability is raised the
evidence is all in favor of fur fab
rics-they outlast almost all other
cloths and Outwear the softest furs by
many seasons.
Manufacturers have been espe-
moleskin Persian lamb, broadtail and
beaver. The moleskin and broadtail
pushes make the richest looking coats
and are used. in luxurious wraps,
trimmed with handsome furs for the
dressiest wear. One of the coats in
the picture is of seal plush with col
lar and cuffs and wide border at the
bottom of short-haired fox. This is
coat for general wear and is guaran-
tee of comfort in the coolest weather.
1t has plain body with skirt por-
ton plated to 1t across the back, and
o wide belt that is the only break in
Its long lines.

u.Roats Have Murdered thousands.

There is a danger lest familiarity,
even with such monstrous crime as
unrestricted U-bOat warfare, should
breed Indifference to its enormity,
says an exchange. Therefore, it is
we'll to bear in mind that, except when
the attack Is made on fighting ships or
transports carrying fighting men, the
torpedoing of ships and sending men
to their death far out at sea, is simply
murder. unredeemed by any extenuat-
ing circumstances whatsoever. Just
how great a bill of Indictment is be-
ing drawn up by the German admiralty
against itself is seen in the statement
given by the government leader in
the house of commons, that up to Feb
ruary, 1918, the German U-boats had
killed 14,120 noncOmbatant British
men, women and children. This, be it
noted, Is exclusive of the murders done
upon peoples of other nationalities.

strands of the cut barbed wire on the
ground, waiting for challenge and
the inevitable volley of rifle fire. Moth
ing happened. 1 suppose the fellow
who cut the barbed wire improperly
, was the one who had sneezed about
half an hour previously. What we
wished him would never make his new
year happy one.
The officer, in my opinion, at the
noise of the wire should have given the
four-tap signal, which meant, ION your
own, get back to your trenches as
quickly as possible" but again he must
have relied on the spiel that Old Pep
per had given us in the dugout, "Per-
sonally believe that that part of the
German trench is unoccupied." Any
way, we got careless, but not so care
less that we sang patriotic songs or
made any unnecessary noise.
During the intervals of falling star
shells we carried on with our wire cut
ting until at last we succeeded in get
ting through the German barbed wire.
At this point we were only ten feet
from the German trenches. If we were
discovered, we were like rats in trap.
Our way was cut off unless we ran
along the wire to the narrow lane we
had cut through. With our hearts in
our mouths we waited for the three
tap signal to rush the German trench.
Three taps had gotten about halfway
down the line when suddenly about ten
to twenty German star shells were
fired all along the trench and landed
in the barbed wire in rear of us, turn
ing night into day and silhouetting US
against the wall of light made by the
flares. In the glazing light we were
confronted by the following unpleasant
scene.
All along the German trench, at
about three-foot intervals, stood big
Prussian guardsman with his rifle at
the aim, and then we found out why
we had not been challenged when the
man sneezed and the barbed wire had
been improperly cut. About three feet
in front of the trench they had con-
structed single fence of barbed wire
and we knew our chances were one
thousand to one of returning alive.
We could not rush their trench on acl
count of this second defense. Then

PRICE CUTTING BY
COMBINE OF PACKERS
Prosecutor Shows Method
Used to Put Troublesome
Competitors Out Of Way

Washington, Jan. 20. = Suddenly
shifting his attack in the meat packing
investigation, Francis J. Heney, chief
investigator for the federal trade com
mission today produced evidence of
price cutting tactics of the "big five"
packers in throttling competition in
the sale of packing products.
Heney called to the witness stand
Charles H. May, manager of the Farm
ers Cooperative Association, independ-
ent packers at Madison, Wis.
Nays testimony revealed discrimin-
alton against the independent packers,
in which all members of the "big five :"
took part. He said that the packers al
ternated weekly in cutting prices to un-
der sell the independents. One week,
May said, Armour would cut the price
on beef and Cudahy on pork. The next
week Swift would lower the beef price
and Morris would reduce the price of
pork products. May added that this CON
dition obtains at present.
"The big five actually sold at a
loss, May testified, Gin order to force
our plant out of business.
81 have known them to sell meat
products as much as three cents a
pound under the cost of the same live
stock on the hoof. "
By peremptory order the commission
obtained invoices of meat sales by mem
bers of the "big five" disclosing many
instances Of the packers price cutting.
L n L otar of
tive committee of the National Live
stock association, was called to testify
concerning the packers control OF the
livestock market. His testimony reveal
ed that the "wiring on" practice Of
the packers in holding the price Of
livestock was very common. Lasater
who markets annually about 10000 cat
tie asserted that he has been discrim-
mated against openly by Armour and
Swift. He said he was in disfavor be-
cause he had supported and fought for
regulation of the packers. His activi-
ties, he said, caused him to lose approx
mately $125,000 in 1915 and 1916.
Heney turned again to show how the
packers concealed many of their schemes
He placed Bernard A. Duffy on the
stand to tell how the packers sought to
hide their tracks. Duffy, who is in
charge of the Armour telegraph depart
ment in Washington, said that fire.
quently while he was in charge OF the
Armour wires at Baltimore, Armour rep
resentatives came in with telephone
messages from Washington addressed to
Armour and company at Chicago. This
was done, although Armour had private
wires in Washington. Duffey mentioned
Colin H. Livingstone, Washington bank
er and Armour representative as being
the principal sender of these messages.

Students Of S. HIS. Are
AN-Arourd Champions

With two notable victories to their
credit the past week, the students and
teaching staff of the Salem High
school are entertaining high hopes Of
capturing a double statechampionship
this year, the one in athletics and the
other in oratorical prowess.
Their defeat by unanimous decisions
in both instances Friday night of the
Fstacada and Hubbard high schools
gives them the debating championship
of this district of the state debating
league and stands them in an excellent
way to win the state championship.
The high score which they piled up
against Albany in Saturday night g
basketball game gives them a lead for
the state championship in this branch
of athletics which will be hard to over
come. The Albany team was simply
played off its feet and at the end Of
the first half the score was "a to in
favor Of Salem. Albany failed to make
a single field basket during the period,
her two points being made through
fouls
During the second half Salem scored
30 moro points to Albany's five, max
ing the total score at the close Of the
game 54 to 7 in favor of Salem.
Friday night Albany was beaten one
point by Silverton. A comparison of
results will show the comparative
strength of Salem's team and otnerS
of the valley.
Salem g lineup was: Latham, centeri
Ross and Hulsey, guards; Gill and
Gregg, forwards. Latham starred for
Salem, scoring 80 of the "a points

tween Company A Of the high school
