blouses are long sleeved, as they
should be, but there are plenty of ex-
ceptions to the rule In this matter. The
three-quarter length sleeve is ashappy
compromise between the popular elbow
and the long sleeve. The best liked
collars are those that are high at the
back, with "y"-shaped opening at the
front. They are made OF the same ma.
terial as the blouse and trimmed to
correspond.
One of the new bl0uses, shown
above, emphasizes embroidery. The
front is extended into a peplum and is
covered with II. Since there Is so
much of It In this position 1t is neces-
sary TO practice some reticence Ia the
rest of the blouse; therefore the
sleeves have none and are finished
with binding. The round neck is al-
lowed a very simple pattern outlining
Its shape. The color contrasts are not
bold but pleasing and soft.

from waist to hem and rounded at the
bottom. The back portion overlaps the

Is cut in the kimono style, with three
quarter-iength sleeves, also bordered

Svan Island to Become
Site For Industries
(Horace E. Thomas in Popular Me
chanics Magazine)

(Horace Z. Thomas in Popular Me
chanics Magazine)
Swan Island, which divides the Will
lamette river at Portland, Ore, causes
"a sharp curve in the main channel
that has long been recognized as a
handicap to shipping. Now the is
land itself, or rather half of it, is TO
be removed and a new and safe chan
mel created. The other half of the Is
land is to be utilized as site for docks
and industries, the present impedi-
ment to navigation thus being con-
verified into the chief asset of the har-
Dor.
To understand the scheme, it
should be realized that Portland, al
though 100 miles from the Pacific, is
in reality an ocean port 1t is the
outlet of the vast basin of the Colum-
bia and Willamette rivers, its wheat
and lumber shipments in particular be
ing enormous. To make this traffic
possible, the federal government and
the city Of Portland have spent many
millions of dollars building jetties at
the mouth Of the Columbia. and deep
ening and widening the ship channel
With all this development work &C
complished, Swan Island has remained
a bugbear to the engineers and ship
ping interests.
Portland will spend SIS 5000, 900 to
solve the difficulty, according to the
plan adopted by its port and dock
commissions.
The west side of Swan Island, which
has an area of 267 acres, will be
dredged away, creating a new. abso
lutely straight river channel. 500 feet
wide, and its great width and adequate
depth-30 feet at low water-not only
will make It a safe course for large
vessels, but will enable it to serve as
a turning basin. The present east
channel will be closed at its south
end by a causeway, but deepened and
widened by dredging away the east
side of the island, it will become a
saltwater anchorage.
With the dredging completed, the
sides Of the island, with the exception
of its northern extremity, will be per.
fectly straight. Along it's west shore,
parallel with the new main channel
Of the river. will be built a mole 5000
feet long. which will also be used as
a dock site. Another dock will be
built along its east shore. Between
these docks the land will be divided
into industrial sites, served by railway
connections over the causeway that
leads to the east bank Of the river
The dredging operations will move
36,377,072 cubic yards of sand and
dirt. and this material will reclaim
total Of some 1880 acres of land now
useless. or this, about $50 acres will
be in the Guilds lake district on the
west shore; 4S0 acres in tract known
. as Mock's bottom, on the east shore,
and the remaining $50 acres on Swan
5 Island itself.

"Why" of Many Superstitions
[ From the Edinburg Scotsman

From the Edlnburg Scotsman
When some illustrous person dies,
flags are lowered to half-mast. If the
average man in the street was inter

meaning in this. for the space above is
left for the flag Of the Angel OF
Death.
Again, ship is invariably spoken of
as of the feminine gender; this is
traced to the ancient Greeks, who
called all ships feminine names out Of
respect to Athene, goddess of the sea.
Friday is believed to be an unlucky
day by those who are superstitious. 1t
is derived from the fact it was the

HIGH PRICES after
CIVIL WAR FURNISH !
PARALLEL TO 1920
(Kansas City Star.l

lily
How long is the present era of high
in every American home today. The
same question was asked almost as
earnestly something more than a half
century ago. While conditions result
ing from a world war are hardly COM
parable to those that came from the
civil war, it Is interesting to observe
what happened to prices as the result
of the conflict in the sixties-how they
rose. and how long they were in fall
ing.
Briefly, prices rose in the civil war
very much as they rose in recent
years. They fell off somewhat with
peace, maintained themselves for
about three years, and then began a
gradual decline that with one inter
mission brought them to the pre-war
basis in 1878, Is years after the wars
end.
With the opening of hostilities
prices were affected. Starting from a
level little below that of 1860, they
advanced more than 20 percent be-
fore the close of 1861.
At the beginning of the war flour
was selling at 1926 a barrel, pork at
IL cents a pound, sugar at about Q
cents, eggs at Is cents a dozen and
coffee at 20 cents a pound. The sud
den cutting off of supplies from the
south along with an equally sudden
demand for war materials in the north.
had an immediate effect on prices. But
by the next year the big factor in civil
war prices came to be an inconvert-
IDLE paper money standard, with a
consequent premium on gold. Specie
payments were suspended by the Unit
ed States treasury in 1862. Paper
| money. largely in small denomina-
tons, circulated freely. AS at the
present time, there was an atmos
phere of prosperity, and although
| there was complaint that increased
with the mounting prices, nobody ap-
| peared to be suffering.
Situation Was Desperate.
| This condition, of course. prevailed
in the north. In the confederacy the
| situation became desperate as the war
| advanced. Paper currency was issued
by the wagon load, and by 1864 81 in
gold would buy s22 Of the Confederate
money Many commodities could not
be bought for any price in the south.
A dinner for nine men at a restaurant
in Richmond in 1854 cost $6315O Tur-
keys cost $50 each; flour, $500 bar
rel, and shoes, $3.50 a pair
| But in the north, where the pur-
chasing power Of the dollar remained
above 30 cents throughout the war.
prices continued to mount By the
middle of 1863 flour had almost dou-
bled in price, pork had gone past 25
cents a pound, butter had advanced
from rs cents to nearly so cents a
pound, and other commodity prices
showed increases amounting to more
than 100 percent. The general aver
age was not far below the 100 percent
| mark.
