There is a distinct saving in thu

than fruit in the first place and
make it possible to decrease the
amount of sugar in the second. The
vegetable acts as a sort CT filler or

adds flavor.

Are women's careers merely cam
outage for broken hearts? Are all
the leaders of the so-called Women's
Movements devoting their splendid
energies to these causes just because
they are piqued at some man who
has disregarded them?
Are they furthering these interests
Just because it could be written on
the tombstomes of their lovers or
husbands, He was not wholly salts
factory?
That's the latest gem Of wisdom
which a ~bald-headed reformer gives
us to ponder over.
Strange it hadn't occurred to US
before. 1t is not uncommon to pick
up a newspaper and read where
some woman of ~enfeebled, or per-
haps unduly embittered, mentality
has shot herself because of some
mans Indifference or neglect.
But business or professional sue
cess as an alternative to suicide IS
something else again.
1t has charming possibilities. When
Bill jilts Betty, she can dry her tears
and get Bills job. Maybe do 1t bet
ter than he does, make good with the
boss, then get her picture in the
magazines as a shining light of the
business world.
She may be "the highest paid
mayonnaise maker in the world"
Maybe her unintentionally developed
genius has set her on a supreme
court bench, or given her an impor-
tant seat in the councils of the wise
and great.
In the meantime, such is the ego
tism of man. Bill in some obscure
niche, probably beams with pride
over having given her the great OPP

THE DALLES. ORE.-In which,
of all mans activities, does woman
seem to make most progress? The
law. is the prevailing opinion here.
To prove this, attention is directed
to Miss Celia Gavin of this city.
Miss Gavin is city attorney for The
Dalles, and believed to be the only
woman in full charge of a city's legal
affairs west of the Rockies.
Her duties include municipal fl
nancial transactions, authorizations
and bond sales, besides being adviser
to the city council and conducting
city prosecutions.
Codiied Law
One of Miss Gavin's greatest ac-
complishments was codification of
the city charter and ordinances.
They were in almost hopeless confu-
sion and contradiction when she took
them and systematized them into a
municipal code. 1t took her two
years of steady, hard work, but she
feels fully repaid for her effort. She

Haynes today returned to his desk
at the prohibition unit headquarters
He is today in conference with
supervising officials Of the unit and
is rapidly resuming contact with
the various branches of the service
1t is understood that he will not
undertake a strenuous program for
some time, and will take no part In
public functions Of any kind until
his physicians pronounce him en-
tirely recovered.
The conference Of governors, plan
ned for this fall, will hardly be
called before the middle of October
1t Is indicated. Many of the cover.
nors are now engrossed in other
pressing matters, many Of the State
executives, especially in the North
Atlantic and New England States
being tiedNlp with the coal problem.
The prohibition conference probably
will not be called until the coal
question has been definitely disposed

The matter Of preparing a program
for the governors conference calls
for a great deal Of hard work on
the part Of prohibition officials, as

PERSONAL
TAXES
Increase Of 1900 Over Last
Year-Assessor Favors
Change in Return Law.

Changing of the time Of making
returns for personal property from
July to May was urged today by Will
liam p. Richards, District tax as
SCISSOR, in his annual report. He
said such a change will materially
aid in the administration of his
office.
The report says the assessed value
of land on June 80, last, was $685.
538,719; improvements, $685., $50. SAG;
total assessment, 23,199,269. Taxes
on this assessment yielded the city
government 50, 401 ,590.48.
The personal tax levy for the year
produced revenue totaling $4,560,-
311.91.
Assessor Richards reports that per
sonal property returns for this wear
reached an unprecedented number.
Fifty thousand returns were made
against $4,000 last year.
"Such activity on the part of the
public will materially lesson the
duties of the field force and will
serve to make a better eoualized and
more accurate assessment.
July has been considered a wrong
period in the year for taking in re-
turns, but newspaper publicity was
great factor in causing the citizens
to call at the personal tax office and,
in fact, the papers inserted a great
deal Of matter in the news columns
in an endeavor to acquaint the pub
lie with a general gist Of the per-
sonal tax law"
