condition along the lines followed by

To bring this matter before the city
council, whereby any one may be fined
for permitting trash to accumulate or
nermitting anything that increases the
fire hazard, Director T.. II. Choate ap-
pointed a committee consisting Of VIM.
Gahldorf. Roy r. Wise and c. s. Hamil-
ton to confer with the city council and
city attorney.
In the discussion II was stated that
it would cost the city probably $2ouu
or $4,000 to establish proper fire alarm
boxes, but that it might save the city
10000 or more on insurance premiums.
To get lower rating, Commissioner
Wells said that the city must put M -
modern fire alarm box system and pro
vide the fire department with ladders
by which it could easily handle fires on
the third and fourth floors. Mr.. Wells
compimented Corvallis, saying that FOR
its size, it had the most complete fire
department Of any city in the United
States He also said that after Heppner
burned up, it installed a mod
ern fire department and that after the
big fire at Marshfield a short time ago,
the city council there got busy and
brought its fire department up TO date.

TIPS PUZZLE FOR RICH GIRLS
canteen Workers Don't Know What to
Do When Officers Slip Them
Quarters.

New York.-Young women Of rich
families who serve the officers canteen
ct the Pershing club of the war camp
community service, Forty-fourth street
and Madison avenue, are perplexed as
to what to do with the tips sometimes
left by officers.
How to act when ar ensign or lieu
tenant hands one a quarter is a puzzle
that has put wrinkles on the brows Of
several of the Junior league members
who wait on the tables. They do not
wish to hUmiliate an officer by refus-
ing his well meant gift, but of course
It Is impossible to accept 1t. Many OF
the young women have fathers who
could buy at least one battleship
apiece.
The trouble reached its climax re-
Gently. An embarrassed ensign left the
canteen after presenting two thin
dimes to the daughter Of a steel king.
Puzzled at her manner, he sought In
formation from the woman H. charge.
~ tipped that swell looking waitress
20 cents and she seemed put out" said
he. "She got all flushed. Wasn't 1t
enoughf'
mot enough to buy her poor dog a
BONE" was the answer. "She drives
her own car and has an income about
equal to the presidents pay. She's a
volunteer worker"
Light dawned on the boyish naval
man and he streaked for the door,
muttering something about never tip
ping another waitress.

Value Of Diamonds
BANK MAKES ESTIMATE.

Importations Of precious stones into
the United States in the fiscal year lust
ended exceeded in value that OF any
earlier year. and this includes a re-
viyal OF the popularity of the pearl.
Dispatches from London Indicate
says statement by the National city
Bank OF New York. that the popularity
OF the pearl, due to the diSloca ton Of
the richest pearl fisheries by war
conditions is causing South Africa n
diamond producers TO lump their
large stocks of diamonds accumulated
during the war.
The value OF the diamonds in the
more than $1,000. 100000. AS early as
1900 a distinguished diamond expert
OF the United States said lit may be
safely said that 100000. 900 worth OF
diamonds are owned in the United
States. and a compilation shows that
the value of diamonds imported since
1900 is S5o6.0O0.000. This alone would
bring the total value OF the diamonds
OF the country above the billion dollar
line. but when il is remembered that
Sl9O.oOO.OOO worth of the diamonds inn
ported since 1900 came in the uncut
state. and that their value was doubled
by the cutting process, which occurred
within this country, IL is apparent that
the value OF the stock in the country
is conSide rably more than $1,000 600 00n
to say nothing of the further fact that
prices of diamonds have Increased ma =
terially during the war.
