MOORISH MARRIAGES.

Of all marriages, says Mrs. Alec
Tweedie, in her book, Women the
World Over" a Moorish marriage is
perhaps the %strangest.
By the laws of the country a man
may have four wives. If he is door, he
may not be able to efford more than one,
or at most two; but if he is rich he ac-
quires as many as he can manage to
pay for and keep.
Until a girl is eight or nine years of
age. she is allowed to run wild amongst
boys and men; but when she reaches
eleven she is considered grown-up. and
is hidden away, twelve being the mar
riageable age for > woman in Morocco.
During this short interlude she is fat
tened for the marriage market. for a
Moorish girls beauty is counted by
pounds of fat.
When a girl has been sufficiently fat
tened. her father looks about him to
find a nice young man possessed of the
Wherewithal to buy her for his wife. He
calls upon the bridegroom's father, and
the two elder men discuss the price.
which is usually settled III cattle, land,
or jewels, paid by the bridegroom to
his Would-be brides father.
Everything formally arranged, the lady
is carried to the young mans home in a
sort Of miniature howdah on the back
of a mule, while all the male friends Of
both families let off Arab guns and
dance and WI oop for joy.
The bridal box is deposited in the
home of the bride groom, who hands
over the money or kind, frequently two
or three COWS or sheep. He is paving
for his bride, and the girl is finally left
behind. Seated on a divan, her face
thickIy coated with paint, alone and
heavily yelled, she waits to share her
husbands life. When her lord and mas
ter enters the room and raises the veil.
which she clutches with her dainty lit
tie henna-dyed fingers, ancient customs
ordains that he should in politeness ut
ter a cry of joy audible to the household
listening outside. There is no religious
ceremony.
Sometimes the bride and bridegroom
never meet till this C itical moment.
But the girl is only a chatteI, and counts
for nothing more. Her mother in-law
takes her education in hand, and almost
before the paint has left her cheeks and
brOWs she becomes a sort of under SER
want to her husbands parents, who teach
her her duties and bring her up in the
way she should go verydqy Life.

Prior to 1917 the plants of this

of this oil came from Germany and
England. During the war, however,
this supply was cut off, and the
plants looked to domestic producers
for their supply. Nearly all of the
importations in 1919 were from Eng
land and Canada.
The material treated consisted of

arms, construction timbers. and mis-
cellaneOus material, largely for rail
roads, mines. and telegraph and te'e-
phone companies. The total amount

Fire Chief Rogers and his co-work-

sibility of seeing that the city was
properly placarded with Red Cross

plete this work Tuesday.
The Fourth Annual Roll Call was
given added impetus Saturday even
ing at Fir Tree when the Loyal Leg
ion of Loggers and Lumbermen de-
voted quite a portion of their regu-
lar meeting to the subject.
Attorney George Yantis, who was
responsible for the success of the
Roll Call in Thurston county last
year, made a short but interesting
address while his remarks were later
supplemented by E. p. Dunbar, an
executive of the Fir Tree Lumbe"
company.
Arrangements have been made to
have the 'Woman's Auxiliary of the
American Legion assist in the can
vass on next Thursday and the Bust
ness and Professional Woman's club
has voted to assist 20 strong On the
same day. 4n
Thurston County Quota $1,000
The quota for Thurston county is
$1,000 which is little more this
year than for the 1919 roll call. Two
new features Of the roll call are the
contributed membership fee Of IS of
which 81 remains in this county for
civilian relief, and the sustaining
membership fee of $40 of which SO
remains in Thurston county for home
relief. There is the annual member
ship fee of 81.
The campaign was formally
launched on Armistice Day and will
continue throughout the county un-
til Thanksgiving. A house to house
canvass will be made after November
H.
Grand Mound and Rainier have al
ready to send to the Red Cross head
quarters here for their supplies and
intend to go over the top very soon.
Other towns in the county are begin
ming to show a decided interest in
the campaign and according to head
quarters all will be heard from with
in the week.

RED CROSS ANNOUNCES
ANNUAL ROLL CALL
Executives Get Volunteer Worker
Sell Membership Renewals on
Armistice Day.

The Red Cross drive on Armistica
Day resulted in the collection OF
$1038, according to an announcement
made today by Mrs. M. G. Andersen.
Volunteers responded splendidly to
the call issued by the executives on
Monday for the Fourth Annual Red
Cross Roll Call. Under the super
vision of Mrs. Frank Kinney and
Mrs. Frank Owings contributing ana
sustaining memberships gathered
like a golden harvest by the fair
reapers who extracted the coin Of the
realm from innocent by-standers and
walkers on the day when there was
no Armistice from the attacks Of
feminine charm.
A large portion of the industrial
district of the city was covered on
Monday and by Wednesday returns
began pouring into headquarters The
rivalry of the scveray plants as to
which would subscribe one hundred
per cent produced early results.

shocking to learn that during the

The November casualties were six

Thru" is having a hard time get.
ting set as general usage in America n
spelling. For time it had a measure
Of Official sanction, by being adopted
in the naval dictionary. but now Sec
retary Daniels has decided to make
the Navy records and documents con-
form to the prevailing style, and has
abolished this form together with
other simplifed spellings. Hence.
forth a ship of war will pass through
the Panama canal.
There is no doubt regarding the
absurdity Of the ''ough" style of spell
ing this word. It lacks harmony with
other applications Of the same set of
letters. Rough" is not TOO and
plough" is not "plu," and though
is not thu But through" spells

and however many may use the sim.
pier form thru" they will be regarded
by most writer's of English as either

Reform in spelling cannot be COM

grees. Perhaps despite the naval de-
fection thru" and its kindred of
logically formed words will eventual.
ly come to be generally adopted. But
the prospect is not good for a uni
versal change Of spelling habit. It
looks as though thru" were through.

number Of accidents, an increase Of
forty Of all grades Of seriousness in
the month and a doubling in the num-
Der Of deaths, suggests that either the
pedestrians or the motorists have been
less careful.
whatever if it does not teach perma-
nent lessons and lead to lasting re.
suits. 1t may save some lives and
prevent some injuries during the Pc
riod Of agitation and discussion and
still leave the case such that in a
fortnight or 80 the same deadly dan
gers will be demonstrated in terms
Of casualty records. The primary les
son that must be learned if the streets
Of the capital are to be made safe for
all is that the person who walks has
rights, that the motor car is a poten-
tial killer, that it must be used with
the greatest care, that, there is no
need for haste, that the rules of safety
are sound and must be observed by
all, walkers and drivers as well.
If this lesson is not learned the De-
cember record, perhaps affected by the
special care exercised during the week
of mo accidents" and the January
record. and the records Of the months
to come, will be little better, if not
worse, than the appalling November
score Of sacrifices.
