W0n1en's Interests
NEWEST IDEAS FOR
HOUSE FURNISHING

The popularity of Nah Jongg, the
Chinese game which now engrosses
society, has ushered in q number
of other Chinese modes, fabrics and
ideas. Jade green and mandarin
red, two of China's best loved col
ors, are everywhere seen, in dress
and in interior decoration. Chinese
fabrics and embroideries vie with
Spanish shawls III popular favor.
The newest material on the market,
for window curtains, is q beautiful
cream fabric called Shantung net.
Chinese lacquer bowls and lamps are
considered very decorative.
After several seasons when plain
painted walls were considered most
correct, figured and colored wall
papers are again very much III de-
mand. A new idea being employ
ed by decorators in houses of the
English type is to use gay ohintZ
design paper, and apply several
coats of shellac after the paper is
hung. This tones down the colors
to the mellow tones of an old oil
painting, renders the paper prac-
tically everlasting, and gives u very
warm background for furniture OF
dark Jacobean oak. Boldly design
ed cretonnes or other drapery fab
rics should be avoided in rooms
with boldly patterned Wallpapers
Use plain materials or stripes IN
rooms with pattern on the walls.

VANDERBILT CUTS
LOOSE FROM THE

Noted Financiar Sewers
His Connection With
Bank Leaders

WASHINGTON, April 3.--Frank
A Vanderlip has cut loose from
Wall street.
With one stroke of his pen, he
severed all the ties that have bound
him to the company of the nation 3
mightiest money men and, voicing
regret that his former colleagues
were blind to conditions, bade them
farewell
Vanderlip announced he had TAX
on q step which he told friends
here ten days ago he seriously con-
templated. He has resigned from
all boards of directors on which
he was 4 member. His cutting
adrift from Wall street, to be freer
to go on, unannoyed by the criti-
cisms of business associates, with
his "dry cleaning" of the govern
ment here, was announced in a
letter to L. p. Swenson, president
of the Freeport Texas Company,
New York. Swenson had asked
Vanderlip to retire from that com
pany's board because of his activi-
ties here. Complying, he said:
81 am quite willing to comply to
your request. My one regret is
that men with whom L have long
been associated in business now are
so blind to the present situation
in the government at Washington.
! would leave with you and my
other business friends one simple
thought TO ponder:
"If this country were suddenly
to be faced by q great crisis i'll
which there was need for wise, Wig
orous and honest action to protect
our national life, would you be sat
isfied to face the emergency under
governmental conditions such as
have been the rule for the past
three years."
Vanderlip is the director in many
concerns, including the international
Mercantile Marine; Union Pacific;
Oregon Short Line Railroad; U. S.
Rubber Company; U. S. Realty;
Oregon and Washington Railroad
and the Los Angeles & San Pedro
Railroad.

State is Saved
$4,000 by Help
of Auto Clubs

SACRAMENTO, April "a re-
duction in overhead costs to the
state of at least $4,000 was made
possible through the service given
bv California State Automobile AS
sociation and Automobile Club of
Southern California to their mem
bers, in issuing 1924 automobile
plates at the branch offices of the
clubs during the recent renewal per
iod, viii II. Marsh, chief of the
division of motor vehicles announc-
ed today.
The clubs and their respective
branch offices issued approximately
185,000 sets of plates from January
IA to February l, it was stated.
Marsh explained that the division
had been relieved of an expenditure
for postage ranging from fil3,oO0 to
$4,000 since most of the appllca-
tions handled by the clubs were IN
the smaller towns and would other
wise have been handled by mail from
Sacramento. He added that the
state had been relieved of substan-
tial sum in payrolIs and other cX-
penses by the arrangement.
At the close of the renewal period
a new service was initiated where
by dealers were permitted to secure
plates for new ears from the branch
offices of the clubs without the de-
lay of forwarding applications to
Sacramento. Scores of kilograms
asking that the service be continued
have been received from dealers
and police Officers.

A number of Ell Centre people
motored to Brawley Tuesday even
ing, where they attended the hard

Fishing Schooner
Burns Off Shore

SANTA MONICA, April 3.-The
fishing schooner Ursula, so feet
long, burned to the waters edge
today, while Captain n. j. Morris,
master 70 the vessel, barley escaped
with his life.
Breaking loose from its moorings
during the night, the vessel drifted
about q. mile off shore. Captain
Morris rowed out to his craft this
morning and attempted to start the
motor. The engine back-fired, set
ting the craft afire.
The skipper fought the flames un-
til he was forced to quit the vessel.
During the confusion, his rowboat
drifted away, and Morris was fore
ed to leap into the ocean, clinging to
a life preserver.
A small boat rushed to the scene
and rescued Morris, who later at
tempted to beach the charred hull.
The Ursula, one of the largest
fishing boats in this vicinity had a
capacity of 40 passengers.
Beach spectators through the
morning fog first reported q lum-
Der schooner afire, as the flames
shot high in the air.

HERE'S GOOD WAY
TO USE ORANGES
FOR PIE RECIPE

This wear sees another bumper
orange crop in California. The fruit
experts estimate that there will be
four billion oranges shipped out of
the state between now and next
New Years. The great yield tends
@to make the individual oranges small
er than usual, but they will be cor
respondingly cheaper, owing to the
great abundance of the crop. Since
\ Americans now like their breakfast
oranges served in slices Or in the
form of juice, rather than in halves
that have to be dug out with an
orange spoon, the housewife can use
these cheaper and smaller oranges to
very good advantage. They are just
as juicy and flavorous as the big
ones.
FL Centre housewives are almost
daily given the opportunity to pur-
chase oranges, and for this reason
the following recipe for orange pie,
which will add pleasing variety to
the list of popular deserts, is sub
mitted:
l cup sugar, 1-3 cup flour, IA
teaspoon salt, grated rind one
orange, l cup orange juice, Juice 1-2
lemon, 2 tablespoons butter, 3 egg
yolks.
Mix flour, sugar, salt and grated
rind. Add fruit juice and cook in
double boiler until mixture thick
ems, stirring constantly to avoid
Jumping. Add butter and beaten
egg yolks. Cook two minutes more,
then pour into baked pie crust. Gov
er with meringue and brown slightly
in oven, or cool, and just before
serving pile with slightly sweetened
whipped cream.

These peculiar creatures, accord

he said, they ate roots, herbs and

believe that the bones are of a
