Skating and coasting have divided
the attention of the more strenuously
inclined Hood River folk during the
Christmas holidays. Columbia sloughs
have been frozen to a thickness of an
inch and a half, and with large ice
fields available scores have partlcipat-
ed in the skating. Adults have appar-
emily enjoyed the coasting down the
cty's steep streets as much as chill
dren. Bobsleds, starting near the top
Of the Columbia caynon, have before
them a course Of nearly three-quarters
of a mile before the merry ride ends
on lower city levels.

The city council last week took steps
to protect coasting children from traffic
accidents. Two special policemen were
placed at points where main east and
west streets crossed the steep grades
Of Ninth street, utilized by old and
young alike. The street is very steep
in places, and no toboggan could have
afforded more fun for the children dur
ing the Christmas vacation. Hundreds
visited the coasting speedway in the
evenings, and huge bobs, that carried
up to 20 passengers, attained an ex-
press train speed as they descended the
snow paved streets. The special po-
licemen were X. r. Oldham and VIM.

Summit orchard district, accompanied
by Mr.. and Mrs. B. Bronson, had a
narrow escape from serious injury
when their team. drawing bobsled,
ran away down fuckers Hill last week.
The team was frightened when the
pole of the vehicle slipped through the
breast yoke, allowing the sled to run
upon their heels. Fortunately Mr..
GehrIg guided them into snow bank,
the team detaching the tugs from the
singletrees when the vehicle stuck.
The horses ran across fuckers Bridge

Mr.. .sGehrig, following up the runaway
animals, met the horses-as they were

Common Sense
BY J. J. MUNDY.
Ever Have a Crouch?


Did you ever know anyone to be
grouchy who did not think they had
a grievance?
What would seem like grievance
to another might not affect you at
all, but nevertheless the man or the
women with a crouch has personal
grievance. .,
II you are closely connected with
a grouchy one, you are the hrst to
notice it and wonder why.
You cannot imagine, when you
are feeling good, why another should
feel quite the opposite.
When persons are busy every min
ute there is no time to think. but
when a rest is imperative or there
is bit of leisure, the mind begins
to think.
Look out that no one has chance
to feel lonely on your account.
Because specific facts are not men
toned from day to day in this re-
gard is no reason for believing that
the time is far distant when certain
things are going to strike home to
the other fellow.
In providing yourself amusement:
do not think to ease your mind
about those dependent upon you, to
state their personal likes and dis,
likes in the amusement question and
take definite sum and do certain
thing to make up" for what you do.

Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
BY MILDRED MARSHALL.

Today's taismanic stone is the
sard, which is especially lucky for
women. If set in a design in which
the grape vine and ivy are inter-
woven, it is sure to exercise its pow
ers for good, according to an an
cient belief,
Today's natal stone is the opal,
which the ancients believed endowed
its wearer with a changeable tem-
perament and attractive personality.
Violet is today's color. 1t exerts
soothing influence on its wearer,
and should be worn by those who are
nervous or extremely emotional.
The flower for today is the scar
let geranium, potent in dispelling
sorrow.

Onions.

Onions.
The superstition of folk k-medicine'

medical virtues which, therapeutical-

all ascribe great power over disease

In some parts of New England it
is said that if you hang a row OF
onions over the door the house will
be guarded against the entry OF any
disease which might be brought into
it BY a visitor. As the visitor crosses
the threshold the onions over the
door draw" any infectious or con-
tagious disease which he may have
out of him into themselves. There

The onion superstition comes down

The Way Katie Banished Worry
From Madge's Mind,

From the minute that Katie ar
rived Junior was her adoring
shadow. 1t seemed too absurd to
think that a child so young should
remember anything so vividly as he
evidently did the devoted woman
who had given him the place in her
heart which her own child would
have occupied if it had lived. But
l had purposely kept memories OF
her alive in his baby mind while we
were down south. And twice a
week while we were gone had some
picture postal cards addressed to
Junior with loving messages from
the loyal girl which I had read to
him to his ecstatic delight.
All this first day of their reunion
Junior followed her around as if he
were an affectionate little puppy,
and it was only until he was safely
in bed for his late forenoon nap that
l found an opportunity to take Katie
over to the Dacey farm house.
There Mrs. Ticer and Jerry, having
finished the cleaning of the rooms
which Katie and Jim were to occu-
py, were busily engaged with Sam
Ticer in Transforming the old corn
crib into a studio for Dicky. The
Older Ticer-who includes carpentry
among the trades of which he is jack,
but NO master-had cut window
spaces of standard half-window size
all around the old structure, and
was covering them with screening.
"You kin git those windows, all
you want, from place over at East
hampton" he had explained, "and |
can put 'em on hinges and attach
'em by cords to hooks in the root
above. Then you won't never need
to bother with 'em unless it rains,
and they won't take a minute to
lower if it does"
As we came up Dicky hurried to-
ward us. His coat was off, his shirt
sleeves turned up, his hair dishev-
elled. while smudge of black across
his face completed a picture at which
gazed in astonishment. Dicky is
most fastidious about his personal
and he is undeniably in
iolent about any physical labor. Yet
he had every appearance of enjoying
himself immensely.
~ Dicky's Inquiry.
"What do you think of this, old
1ear?" he demanded. Sam tells me
hat these bushes around this thing
are pink climbing roses, and that
them are morning-glory
vines. Can you imagine anything
more nifty than that? Well, Katie!
How do you like your new homer"
He had shifted the inquiry to
Katie with dispatch, and we'll knew
he reason for it. To my faithful,
little maid this. her first
of the new home, was an
vent OF the utmost importance, and
had seen-as l knew had Dicky,
llso-her face redden and her eyes
lash at what she considered his neg
ect to greet her. l

TIGERS to help you and Jim get

Parents Problems

How can children best be taught
the horrors of war?
This is difficult question, for the
reason that children are too young
and too sensitive to be taught even
in small degree the horror of war.
Perhaps the same purpose would be
served by teaching them the beauty
of peace. Begin by making clear
to them that peace. like every other
good thing, should begin at home.
Then lose no opportunity of point
ing out to them blessings which can
only be enjoyed in condition Of
peace. Also acquaint them with the
efforts of noted pacifists.
