Those women who are fond of vel vet will rejoice to find that this ever rich fabric is in favor this season for dresses.
 All dress models are cut on traight lines, and embroidery has great vogue. Long sleeves prevail, many of the smartest ending in the bell cut. Over dresses, real or stimulated, are liked. One dress noticed in the Style Day display Friday was of black tricollette-a loose silk weave had an over -dra pery of rich silk fringe. and was trimmed with the modish metallic embroidery. This bautiful model was priced s95 Charming was a blue serge dress. on the prevailing straight lines, its bodice with round neck. the front of bodice and skirt of richest gold bro cade in panel effect.

 The fashionable medium brown hue was the tint of a beautiful char mouse dress, in pannier effect, long sleeves, smart girdle with orange and brown narrow ribbon belt ends. The neck was round, as is favored this season. A price mark of $39.50 WAS on this exceedingly stylish dress.

Co<77ino to the Davis.

The Kiss Burglar the musical of fering selected to hold the boards at the Davis theatre Wednesday evening, Sept 24. is said to contain more tuneful tunes and more catchy music than any Broadway success produced in years Seldom is it that a musi- cal offering can boast of a dozen dis t5nct musical hits but this is true of The Kiss Burglar. all of which appeal 70 the voiceIess because they are dis tinctly hun1mable. to the singers be- cause they can be sung. and to those who can neither sing nor hum because thev are sure they have heard them before and the melody haunts them So this is why many claim the real smile in The Kiss Burglar is the mu- sic because it is one of these sweet " simple and simply sweet scores that spells popularity. While others claim it's the wonderful singing and danc
 ing Peacock Alley Chorus. which Sprang into popularity over night. and IS pronounced to be the most beautiful en tour, while still others claim it to 1e the wonderful cast. But we leave t for you 10 pass Judgment and draw voI- own conclusions for not in years has such a musical treat been offered the theatre going public. The book ra lyrics were written by Glen Mac 0onougf who has q score of successes -o c his credit while the music IS from he pen of Raymond Hubbell- one of Americas most popular writers whose worfs has won celebrity.

GIVE YOUR MAGAZINES

What are you doing with your cur.
rent magazines when you have finished
reading them? Do you throw them
away? Place a one cent stamp on
them and drop them in the postoffice,
and then our soldier boys i'll in hospi-
tails will soon have them to read.
Take some Of the good books from
your collection and turn them over to
the Hood River county library that
they may be sent to sick and wounded
soldiers.
A bulletin Of the American Library
Association, which has charge Of the
distribution of reading matter for the
soldiers says:
Wounded men in hospitals and SOL
diers in cantonments awaiting demob-
liZtion need magazines more than ever,
according TO reports received by the
American Library Association from its
C imp and hospital Librarians. From
the same source it is reported that the
supply of magazines contributed by
the public has fallen off materially
since the signing of the armistice.
Whenever you put a one cent stamp
on a magazine and drop it into mail
box it quickly gets into the hands of
these men, who need this sort of read
ing matter very much. Every sort of
periodical Is in demand, so long as
they are recent issues. Humorous,
fiction, business. lterary-every sort
of weekly and monthly publication is
eagery read. Trade and technical per
iodicals are in demand.
1t is such very little thing for any
one to do, just to put one cent stamp
on the notice which is printed on the
cover of every periodical published in
America and drop it in the posto6ice.
The only apparent reason why the
supply Of these magazines has fallen
off seems to be the general impression
that all of the men in uniform are to
be Immediately sent back home. But
we shall have a million and more men
in camps for many months to come and
tens of thousands in hospitals. and. as
the camp librarians point out. they
have more time for reading and read
ing is more necessary to their happi.
ness and well being than it was while
all were keyed up to the heights Of
enthusiasm.

Pine GROVE CHURCH
HON0RS ROOSEVELT

Pine Grove church joined with thOus-
ands of others last Sunday in service
the life of Theodore
Roosevelt Rev. Newham said in part:
Roosevelt stands unique in Amerl-
can and all history. His was the COM
plex life. He was known as the great
antithesis in whom extremes met IN
harmony. In the days of his young
manhood practical politics would be
considered almost as vices, yet he
chose politics as a career. From his
inheritance we might expect him to be
an Independent, but he was strong
partisan. 1t could we'll be said Of hlm
as of Shakespeare. He was myriad
minded man.
Think what he was statesman, his.
torian, reformer, preacher. scientist,
critic, politician, soldier. patriot, and
he excelled in all. The quality of his
courage was different from the ordln-
airy. He was eminent for his common
sense. He possessed profound sense
of righteousness. While in college he
made an exhaustive investigation OF
the histories Of the war of 1872, find
ing several errors on both sides. So
impartial was he that the British gov
ernment secured permission of him to
incorporate the results of his investi
cations in that we'll known work. The
British Royal Navy" He was an en-
emy of caste, sending his children to
the public schools for the most part
rather than to private, as might have
been expected. He was gentleman.
He was a Christian and religion was a
vital part of his thinking, not supple
mentary. During the years of his ca
reer in Harvard he was teacher of a
Sunday School class. We do not hold
him up as perfect saint. for he had
his faults.
Perish policy and cunning,
Perish all that fears the light,
Whether losing, whether winning,
Trust in God and do the right.
Roosevelt tried to do that, and you
will do well to do the same.

SUPREME COURT UP.
HOLDS FERRY SYSTEM

Ernest G. Smith, attorney for Frank
Larson. operator Of the ferry system,
Yesterday received word that the su-
preme court had handed down deci
sion in case that threatened the con-
tinuance of ferry service between here
and Underwood. f. E. Chapman,
owner of Columbia lowlands, in a suit
brought against Mr.. Larson. contended
that the county court of Hood River
county had no right to grant license
for interstate traffic. He further
raised the question that Larson had no
right to pass over his property, since
the county had never ordered public
highway maintained across it.
The supreme court in its decision
confirmed the right of the court to
grant license. although the ferryman
operated in interstate traffic. The
other contention was disposed of by
the supreme court. because it raised
the question of title of real property.
which, as was asserted the courts
could not try out.
