FRENCH COLONISTS MAY
ASK USE OF U. 5. DOLLAR

Papeete, Tahiti, Dec. 11.--Depre-
citation of the French franc has
brought forth consideration of pro-
posal for petitioning the home gov
eminent to permit the adoption OF
the American dollar or the English
pound sterling as the standard of
value for the Society Islands, under
French control.
The opinion is frequently expressed
that conditions in these islands are
not in any way similar to those in
France. yet the islands are penaliLed
in trade by being a tributary 10
France.
Under present circumstances. it
is pointed out, IL is well nigh, i'm
possible to establish any stable con-
ditions either in the purchase Of To-
cal produce or in the engagement Of
supplies from abroad

and slim as a willow wand, which,
when they are trimmed at all, usually
open over a fur waistcoat.
A typical Russian blouse suit is
shown which is straight of line and
apparently has no means Of ingress.
This suit is fashioned Of beaver col
ored wool yelours and has bands of
military looking embroidery ending In
tassels at one side stretched across its
smooth front. 1t is loosely girdled
with double bend of cloth and has a
high collar of the beaver fur which
finishes the sleeves and the edge of
the coat and slips on over the head,
but these have never attained great
popularity in this country.
There are, however, a number of
models, which close on the shoulder
and the side, leaving the front I'M

Charming Brown Velvet Suit Conspic-
uous Because of Cartridge Plaits.
broken by fastenings, and one very
charming suit, the upper part of which
crosses over in bodice fashion,
wrinkles about the waist and ties in
fiat girdle ends at the side.
The back of this coat is fiat and
plain, but in the front are two circular
sections which are gathered in many
folds. In one curious little suit the
short jacket godets slightly at the
back, has a cutaway front and a
choker collar all banded with fur. The
back of the skirt is plain, but in the
front hangs full fur edged apron
drapery almost to the edge of the
skirt.
There are very few short jackets,
but among them is one which is sure
to make itself felt, for, though abbre'
waited, it is by no means insignificant.
1t has an immense collar, which falls
over the shoulders and wrinkles in
hood fashion about the throat and the
fullness of the loose back ripples in
many folds, banded by fur.
There are suits with coats which
are short in front but have long
loose panel at the back, and there are
other Irregularities in the coat skirts,
but on the whole they hang on an
even line about the figure.
Coats which blouse either in the
back or the front all around are by
no means unusual and look well on
the young and slim. An excellent mo-
del for a woman with large hips is
the coat with straight long WASTED
upper part on which the skirt is
slightly gathered.
Importance of Pockets.
Pockets have taken on an extraordi-
nary importance in the more elaborate
suits. They are bold, assertive and
are frequently the means by which
the characteristic outline of the model
is produced.
The bullying hip line is brought
about in one simple coat by immense
hip line and trimmed by stitched
bands of cloth, above and below which
are wide bands of fur.
Another means of widening the hips
As seen in coats cut with pannier
draperies, the looped out tops of which
constitute enormous fur edged pockets.
These are found in both long and
short coats.
Again there is curious but not I'M
pleasing fashion of placing the great
pockets directly on the fronts Of the
coat. This peculiar line Is even ac-
centuated by allowing the pockets to
loop at the tops which are bordered
deeply with fur. Or the front sections
of the coat skirts may be made en-
tirely of fur in which pockets Turk or
q wide band of fur may extend across
the front of the jacket, standing out
at the top to form pockets. In every
case coats trimmed in this fashion
have fiat, plain back.
A very picturesque and handsome
suit of brown velvet has its full hip
sections set on in cartridge plalts and
a ruche of cartridge plated velvet to
edge the fronts and the enormous
eighteenth century cuffs.
Velvet suits as yet appear only In
small numbers. but the various wool
len fabrics with the exQuisitely soft
velvet finish, which it is easier to
group under the name Of duvetyn. are
in all but universal use.

Wide RAnGE IN
LATEST STYLES
Never Before in History Of Tai.
lored Suit Has There Been
Such Variety.
COLLARS, CUFFS, HENS OFFUR
Coat Of Long or Medium Length
Much More In Evidence Than
Short ones-Pockets Are
Important.

For the woman who is not inexor
ably committed to the one-piece frocB
her suit is q matter Of earnest CON
sideration, observes prominent fash
ion writer. Not so much as to what II
shall be made of, for here there is
scant choice, but as to how 1t shall
be built to fit the peculiar require
ments of her figure.
Never before in the history of the
tailored suit has there been so wide
a range of design as can be found In
this seasons models. And unless o
woman has unerringly bad taste, or,
as sometimes happens, cherishes an
inner vision Of herself as tall and viii.
Lowry when unkind nature has design
ed her short and wide, there is NO
excuse for her selecting an unsuitable
model.
Suits are very much in the fore
ground of the picture at present and
show wealth of interesting detail as
70 finish, as well as a wide latitude
in type and cut.
Thoroughly well dressed women al
the horse show will undoubtedly be
opponents of the various ways a suit
may take-the plain and strictly tai
lored suit with a fur neckpiece, fdI
morning wear, and the dressier fun
trimmed type for afternoon. 1t is in
the latter. of course, that most of the
variety in design is to be found
though the jacket, tailored on man.
nish lines, has, too, its picturesque diff
ferences of outline.
Daring and Picturesque.
There is a distinct leaning toward
the daring and picturesque in the suit
coats displayed this season. Especial.
ly new and attractive are the coats
on Louis XIV. lines, rather fitted, with
nipped-in waist and good deal OF
spring at the hips, often accumulated
by means of large pocket flaps, godets
or a circular cut to the coat skirts.
This is the most radical departure
from the lines to which we have be.
come accustomed and has its ex.
tremely short version in which the
coat skirt stands out in series Of
hard and ungraceful godets, its me
dun length version in which the coat
is very true to type, and its long yer.
sion, which covers all but two or
three inches of the skirt.
A coat of this last character was
shown among the imported models
and is worthy of note for the reason
that very long coats are said to be
approaching. In this instance the coat
Of brown veiours de lalne is cut so
that it is quite smooth at the back and
in the cross over front, but has
much fullness of the coat skirt at the
sides.
These full sides are held in place
at the waist by means Of embroidery

BOOTLEGGER TROUBLES WILL BE LESSENED
 WHEN NATION IS DRY
Much Traffic in Illegal Liquor Has Been Carried on Through Mouth of Columbia
 River

ASTORIA, Ore, May 27.-Not un til the nation goes dry on Jpne 30 and perhaps not then will the troubles of the authorities of Astoria and oth CT mortimer Pacific ports with the bootleggers of California be over Ever since the state of Oregan was I captured by the prohibitionists trif licking in contraband liquors has been carried on between San Fran cisco and the Columbia river ports more especially Astoria because oi the numerous natural advantages af forded for the safe delivery of the wet goods.
 The authorities here, in their eff forts to run down the bootleggers have searched hundreds of lumber carrying steamers and schooners, the vessels plying regularly between San Francisco and Columbia rilver ports as we'll as the ships making occa- sional calls at these ports, their last previous stop having been some southern port Their tireless efforts have made the path of the carrier
 
 of contraband an anxious one and their efforts have brought thousands of dollars into the municipal and county treasuries. But there has been much of the contraband liquor which has escaped their vigilence.
 One of the favorite ways of evad- ing the authorities is to toss the con traband overheard at a designated point at the mouth of the river where it is picked up by the person in collision with the custodian from San Francisco to the Columbia River port. Then it is "fished" up and sold at from $15 to $25 quart. The price delivered at Astoria runs from s9O to $12O a case, but that is for bonded goods.
 As high as 10 to 15 cases have been known to be carried on one ship and the oil tankers have proven a ter rible field for the authorities until everyone of them was searched as it docked.
 With the nation going dry the traf- fickers are devoting their attentions to devising some means of continu- ing the supply and Sheriff Ole Nelson of Clatsop county says illicit stills undoubtedly will spring up for the re- mote timber districts of the lower Columbia.
