fashion, AGAIN
RAIDS BARNYARD

Paris, Dec. Fashion, in hel
ever insistent search for novelty
again has invaded the barnyard
Rooster feathers have come back.
They are the latest thing on
Paris hats, and even on evening
gowns. All colors are used, and
when the rooster can't supply the
shade, the dyer does. However,
natural white and black are the
most popular colors.
Rooster feathers probably are
about as cheap a material as can
be found, but their use on chic
hats has not lowered the price of
bonnets. One little hat shop is
displaying these simple but
smart" things at $50 francs,
while other stores ask 500 and
600 francs.

ASHLAND CLUB TALKS TO
SALEM VIA RADIO ROUTE

A number of Salem radio fans
listened In Wednesday evening
about 1920 on a radio announce
ment of the Women's Civic I'M
.,royement club OF Ashland, which
lis holding the formal opening OF
its club house Saturday, Decem-
Der 2, afternoon and evening. The
radio message was broadcasted
from a station in Medford.
The Ashland club house is the
first women's building of Its sort
in southern Oregon. There is an
auditorium, banquet hall, kitchen,
offices, rest rooms, nursery and
bath rooms. The building was
started year ago Money for
the edifice was raised from enter
tainments, gifts and salvage
shop. Money came in slowly and
had it not been for Jesse Win
burns assistance In furnishing
the house the enthusiasm of the
club would likely have died and
nothing would have come of the
plan. The invitation broadcasted
invited every person in the world
to attend personally the open
house and enjoy the hospitality of
The club and the city's scenic beau
ties.

KELLS is BACK
FROM MEETING;
TELLS OF WORK

No longer is 1t absolutely man
datory upon the X. M. C. A. to
elect all members OF their board
OF directors who belong to some
church, according to G. A. Kells,
general secretary of the local Y.
M. c. A.. who returned yesterday
afternoon from a ten-day trip to
Atlanta City, N. j., where he at
tended the 41st international
meeting OF the ~" 1t was de-
cided that 10 per cent OF the board
of directors of any Y. M. c. A.
could be elected provided they be-
lieyed in the principles of the
churches even though not affili-
ated with any denomination.
The next important event OF the
convention, In Mr.. Kells opinion,
was the report OF the commission
ON the approach to the church. In
its findings 1t reported that in
all cases effort should be made to
associate the student while in
school with some organized church
rather than divorce him from 1t
and absorb his interest in purely
student organizations" On the
other hand, 1t was pointed out, the
student should not lose sight OF
Inc value OF the student organiza-
lion. Also that while he is In
terested in the church and his own
denomination should be conserved
he should acquire a breadth OF
vision and interdenominationai
sympathy. Both agencies are
needed, the report says, where one
eyists alone 1t should carefully
conserve both interests.
There were about $500 dele
gates from practically every coun-
try in the world represented at
the meeting. About 30 delegates
we're from the Pacific coast.
There were some wonderful ad-
dresses given at the convention"
Mr.. Kells declared Prominent
figures In the convention who are
known by Salem people were
Harry Stone. secretary of the
Portland Y. M. C. A., and Gale
Seaman, field worker for the Pa
cific coast and head of the repre-
sentative college organizations.
A play entitled "McBurney," |
was given by the students Of the
Y. M. G. A. college, of
which G. A. Kells and r. r. Board
man are alumni. The play typi-
fled the spirit of McBurney, the
first city "Y" secretary. The week
of prayer was also observed at the
meeting.

Camp
Cow Has Taste
ForSoapCakes

Mill City, Dec. 1.-Engineers
and loggers of Detroit, Or, have
discovered a moo1ey COW with a
taste for cleanliness. Each night
the foreman's COW they claim,
makes the rounds of the wash
stands and feeds on Woodbury's,
Palmolive or Ivory so long as the
supply lasts.
After the first visits OF the COW
the men each accused the other
till the culprit was finally dis
covered and the men are friend
ly, each begging his partners
humble pardon for the insinua-
tion that the other was thief.
Now the men leave their pri-
yate supply of soap carefully plac-
ed in the inner parts Of the camp
where no self respecting COW
would venture. The men claim
their personal laundry account
has been cut in half since bossy's
feed supply has been cut off.
Bill Harlan, the foreman OF
camp II, now offers a reward for
someone who will discover a good
brand OF face soap that his COW
will not devour.
Petty thieves have been at
work in Mill City during the past
week to such an extent that res
idents in the parts Of the city Wis
tied have organized private vigi-
lance committees planning to cap
ture the culprits.
Fred Carter was the first vic
tim when in the night the entire
weeks wash disappeared from his
line. E. Shaw lost dozen chick
ems before the thieves called an
armistice on his grounds.
