Hints for the Home Milliner

The first thing to consider in choos-
ing a hat IS the purpose to which it is
to be put. Then comes suitability to
costume with which it is to be worn
and lastly but of equal importance, the
becomingness to the individual who is
10 wear 1t. A scmi-tailored hat is recon-
mended rs especially suited to rural
women and is good for any woman
wherever she, may live who can not
have a different hat for each gown.
Such Il hat is good with Il suit, after
noon dress or in the automobile and if
It has soft and becoming lines is al
ways desirable addition to Il woman S
wardrobe.
Line must have careful consideration
in choosing a shape. Hats that have
irregular brims are easier to wear than
those having the regular line, and near
lv always more becoming. A large hat
should never extend beyond the should
ers of the wearcr, and the brim should
never be wider than the widest part
of the face. Small hats should have ut
least a suggestion of a brinl. Hats with
30 brim make a hard band around the
head not pleasant to wear.
A general rule for the height of the
hat crown is that it should never be
taller than three-fourths the length of
the face; that is about the same as the
distance from the eyebrows to chin. 1t
may be slightly lower or higher de-
pending on the way the hair is dressed.
\ hat must look we'll not only as to
the face but also as to the figure of
the wearer. A large woman should not
wear hat so big that it attracts too

Lecture Stuff

Lecture Stuff
Alma Whitaker in claractcrist style
goes after the women s clubs of Cal
ifornia for spending such huge amounts
Of money for foreign speakers and often
getting second rate lectures and per
formanccs. Quoting Charles Hanson
Towne of the New York Tribune who
charges that "our women s clubs all
over the country are so snobbish that
they will not book American talent un-
ill they see what speakers of foreign
origin the open season is to hold, = Mrs.
Whitaker tcrsely states some very pert.
I inent facts. She says:
"What we really pay for most of
the time is eur curiosity to see the
foreign celebrity in person, adding
that with few exceptions they prove
to be NEST disappointing as speakers.
Most of them, she says, but serve to
shatter. our illusions, those having big,
worth while messages just telling what
we have already read i'll their books.
She even SAYS that America has dozens
of women, prominent in clubdom who
can do as well in their way as Mrs.
Forbes Robertson Hale, who seems to
have created the best impression oil
any who have spoken before the Fri.
day Morning Club this season.
This last club has a large SUM which
ii spends each year for programs and
the smaller organizations are prone to
envy them for this wonderful ability to
command celebrities. But Mrs. Whit
aker SAYS that she doubts if they are
well advised in doing it. She doesn I
think they do the members anv harm
but frankly doubts if they do them any
good. Men S clubs do not do it; they
give a meal to a celebrity who may
want to speak to them, get him !, good
audience and sometimes even grow a
bit enthusiastic over him; but they
won't add $500 to the reward.
And the following sentiment by the
popular writer of the Los Angeles Times
finds sympathetic echo in many a
club woman s heart. She SAYS, tOf
course the women s club must have pro
grams, but | wish they would produce
them more from within their own ranks
/ wish they would select these big
topics of the day, choose speaker from
among their own ranks and follow il
up with discussions from the floor
That sort of Il program is much more
interesting, effective and economical.
1t is interesting to note that many
of the clubs in the Southern District of
California Federation are having pro
grams like that and that as Il result
new interest has been awakened, the
attendance has been good and best of
all the viewpoint of women il such
clubs is growing up to the point where
they can really take an intelligent part

IS DESTROYED
BY FLAMES
United Press Leased Wire

PORTLAND, Ore, March 22.-Fire
which broke out in the Portland plant
of the Olympic Flour Mills, one of the
largest mills on the Pacific coast, was
threatening to destroy tine entire plant
at 8 a. III. today. Sixteen fire COM
panies have been called out.
The fire was first reported at 6
o clock this morning on the fifth floor
of the building. BY 8 o'clock it had
eaten its way through the fifth, sixth
and seven floors. Both Portland fire
boats anchored in the river opposite
the water front, site of the great cereal
mill fought with land engines to stem
the tide of the sweeping blaze.
Explosions were feared when the
fire reached its height shortly after 8
o clock. Several small explosions had
been reported in the mill recently and
it is supposed that the fire originated
from one of these. The mill was heav-
lily stocked and considerable damage
was anticipated.
The mill is located in the center of
extensive shipping and warehouse dis
trict.
WOrkmen on the fifth floor of the
building said a slight shock as if an
explosion preceded the fire. These
men barely escaped with their lives.
Four firenlen had narrow escapes short.
ly after o clock when long aerial
ladder snapped with the four men near
its top.
They clung to window ledges high
above the heads of their comrades while
another ladder was raised for them.
The building is an eight story con-
crete structure, covering a quarter
block. 1t was built two years ago as
the cereal branch of the Portland Flour
ing Mills.

fidence in the Legion so thoroughly re-
quired at this time.
Ross T. Hickcox, chairman of the
committee in charge Of the campaign
next spoke for endorsement aud sue
cess for the drive.
"We do not have to say here that
we have confidence or that we endorse
the boys of the American Legiou,'' Mr.
Hickcox said. "We know it. But per-
haps others do not; perhaps they are
uncertain, though they shouldn t be.
We had confidence when they went
over the top for us. Now let us show
that confidence and go over the top for
them. We want the people---all Of them
of FL Centre to dig down into their
pockets for this $4,000 fund SO that it
Will IN truth be community expression
to the boys who did so much for us
when so much was to be done. -
Mr.. HlckcOx outlined some of the
work being done here by the Legion
post.
1t is doing work here done bv no
other Ell Centre organization, he de-
clared. 1T is feeding the hungry, To-
eating the iobless in jobs and giving
succor where succor is in worst need.
Not alone is this work being done for
the ex-soldier, but for whoever is in
need. -
President Cooper of the Chamber of
Commerce presided.
There will be meeting of those who
will do the canvassing Friday morning
at o clock at the office of Ray Edgar.
N.Y. HickcoX said that every man will be
drafted ipto this service, no excuse be-
ing accepted other than Doctors cer-
tificate and that would be proven. He
desires that every man and woman in
the city be given opportunity to con
tribute to the fund according to their
ability TO do so.
The firemen will sponsor. benefit
dance Saturday night and every citizen
i of Ell Centre is expected to come and do
his part to make it great financial
success.

Rebecca Noland furnished the music

much attention. The hat may he used
to cut height; hat too small looks
unbalanced and increases the size of
the face.
A tail, we'll porportioned woman, may
wear rather q large hat unless her face
is too thin. Short women should not
wear u dropping or low wide hat. Full
round faces need lengthening.
One with 4 thin face should wear the
hair low and soft about the face. A
small hat with narrow, upturned brim
is good if the nose is not too sharp.
Rather large crowns are usually good
but hats that are too large should be
avoided by the woman with a small
face. She should avoid angular shapes,
using soft materials and trimmings III
their construction, and avoiding high
luster fabries
Color is important; light hats look
bigger than dark ones. Cream is gen
orally more becoming than white. Black
is difficult to wear because it absorbs
the color and dulls it if next to the
face. Good balance should be sought in
color combinations. A small area of in
tense color will balance large area
of one more neutral. Never wear II
color that is unbecoming no matter
how fashionable it may be. OF the new
colors this season there are violine and
dahlia tones, lavendars, mauves, and
violet; browns shading from deep to
golden shades, often combining well
with soft blues; there are bronze shades
also popular. Grays, dark blues and
blacks always in season. Among the
green shades there are almond, similar
20 reseda, sonlber Russian green and
the more brillian emerald and Jade
tones. Cactus is &; novelty color, sort
of Il gravg green. Mistletoe is darker in
shade. Metallic trimmings are largely
used and shaded yarns, and wooden
beads.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and bladder trouble and never suspect 1t.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease:
 If the kidneys are not in healthy con dition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 Pain in the back, headache, loss of am bition, nervousness, are often times symp- toms of kidney trouble.
 Don't delay starting treatment. LIT. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physician's pre- scription, obtained at any drug store, may be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Get a medium or large size bottle inn mediately from any drug store.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y, for sample bottle When writing be sure and mention this paper-Advertisement.

Victims of stomach trouble and rheumatism often find that when their stomach is set in order, the rheuma- tism disappears. Thousands of people everywhere have testified that Tanlac has freed then. of both troubles simul- taneously. MT. Robert Trotter, 148 State St, St. Paul, Minn., says:
 About a year ago I began to go down hill. Sour stomach and rheuma- Hsm in my arms and shoulders kept me in misery all the time. Since talk Ing Tanlac all my aches and pains have gone, and my stomach is in fine shape. I'm glad to endorse such a fine medicine"
 Badly digested food fills the whole system with poisons. Rheumatism and many other complaints not gen. orally recognized as having their Ori- gin in the stomach quickly respond to the right treatment. Get bottle to- day at any good druggist.-Advertise- ment
