Cleaning the Stunps.

The rapid decrease in the number of
tall stumps which have been so fa-
miliar to the traveller through the coast
hills of Oregon, is regarded as an, in
dication of their approaching e1tinc-
ton. Hitherto some 90 feet Of each
stump has been left standing, silent
relics of former monarchs Of the forest,
too thick for most saws to compass
and too full of pitch to suit the saw
mills. But now the need for timber is
greater and men DO longer climb high
up on to boards thrust into notches in
the trunk to suit the saw and the saw
mill. They have learned thrift and
they cut low down lest good lumber
be uselessly wasted. Only as a record
Of past wastefulness are the tall
stunps with their deep notches still
visible.

A Filipino Vassar.

What the occidental ideals Of univer-

mean to women of the Orient takes on
a large significance with the estab-

versity for girls only This university
IS to be part of an educational group
called Centro Escolor de Senoritas,
where until now the instruction to
girls hasN been only in the primary,
secondary and intermediate grades.
That this Filipino yassar will develop
traditions characteristic of girls col
leges in the United States cannot be
doubted by anyone who has observed
how wholehearjedly though shyly, girl
students from the Orient have en-
tered into the Undergraduate studies,
festivities and pastimes at American
colleges.

curioua Clubs.

The recentS announcement that an
English .'Bald-Headed Mems club NAG
lust met-the first time since 1915
owing to the war-seryes to recall one
or two odd clubs.
"The Fat Mans club" for instance,
was known to exist in Paris IN 1897.
It's heaviest member turned the scale
at 33s pounds and the chief qualidca-
ton for membership was TO weigh al
least 220 pounds.
About this time there also met III
New York the Society Of the Pointed
Beards'-a most exclusive club. No
one was eligible unless he had a care
fully cultivated beard Of natural
growth and terminating in one sym
metrical point half an inch from the
apex of the chin.
At two club dinners in 1898 even the
celery was served with its leaves
trimmed to a point.

MA1DUM PRICE FOR BUYERS

A group of stenoSraphers and typ
lists IN Detroit seem to have improved
upon the overall club idea. They have
pledged themselves to keep within a
definite price limit, set by the group,
when purchasing hats, shoes, suits
and coats. If the maximum they
have established in each case is a
reasonable one, allowing the purchase
of good materials and well-made ar
ticles OF apparel, these young women
should be able to keep themselves
dressed both well and economically.
The best feature about their plan
is that Il does not involve additional,
unforeseen expenditure, but simply
pledges every girl to keep on hunting
until she finds satisfactory garment
either at the maximum price. fixed or
as much below it as possible.
During the months Of the nations
widest extravaganza there was too
little effort made ito find goods OF
which price and quality were in just
proportion. Style was too frequent
ly mistaken for quality or accepted
as substitute for the better value.
Just setting oneself price schedule
and then using brains and care in
living within its limits viii be an i'm
portant factor in personal economy
When whole groups of citizens do that
same thing, the result will be a fine
stabi1izing and reducing of inflated
prices.
