process on each cross-mesh in the row.
Finish one row before starting anoth-

way, the pattern is worked out.
Work is begun at the cut end of the

new velvet shapes, and this may be
said also of the hats of soleil and hat
ters' plush which are so prominent in
early showings, is their suppleness.
A very youthful velvet hat is shown
first In this group. Like the majority
of smart velvet hats for this season,
its only trimming Is handsome orna-
ment. To the right at the top is
shown one of the extremely popular
stitched velvet hats. Its contrasting
facing Is an item of note. French
milIiners are especially exploiting pink
with black. Little velvet caps spon.
soring a lavish use of ornaments are
among the fascinating types brought
out this season, such as the one to the
center left in the picture. To the right
center is one Of those charming quilt

for early fall. The last hat inter-
works grosgrain ribbon with the vel
vet of which it Is fashioned.

Small-House Construction

The small house is typically Amer
lean. Thousands are being built ev-
cry year, many of them on the sup
position that the art of small-house
architecture is Independent of its ma
terial. Sense of proportion and the
laws of structure are. based in great
part on the material employed.
The material, in turn, has an Inn
portant bearing upon the design.
Since lumber will continue to be the
favorite material for small-house con-
struction, those who build small
houses should be familiar with the
best practices in planning and design
ing.

Good Building Combination

The happy combination of stone and
brick, so frequently seen in modern
adaptations of old English home archi-
lecture, is coming into vogue as a
medium for the creation of houses in
French, Spanish, and Italian styles.
While most persons seem to iden.
tify Spanish and Italian architecture
with stucco exterior walls and French
architecture with stucco or brick used
singly, the villas of old Spain and
Italy were frequently constructed
with any masonry material that was
convenient, although this was often
pargeted with several coats of white
wash, which gave somewhat the same
effect as stucco. French farm houses
show frequent use Of brick and stone
in combination, often, too, with splen-
did timbering work.
There are also many examples Of
colonial homes in which both mate
rails were used to excellent ad-
vantage.

velvet Is not without reason, for vel
vet as was in We olden days and as
Is in our modern times. is two differ
ent things. The term velvet In this
generation may signify weave as
airy, as lightweight as chiffon.
The revival of velvet in millinery
Is significant, for 1t bespeaks trend
toward headwear of dressier mien.
Milliners are doing some very fiatter-
Ing things with velvet, which for the
most part embodies lot>of work, in,
the way of insets and quilting, and
scanning and hosts of other intriguing
treatments. Those black velvet hats,
and there are many of them, which
have lace insets are especially good
looking.
The tendency to off-the-face effects
Is quite pronounced in early velvet
models. Three of the hats shown in
this group, while they are face-fram-
Ing, which is "the thing" this season,
yet their brims turn up from the eyes.

Uttered City Marks
Lack of Ciuic Pride

Litter is what makes city look
dowdy. Wind-blown, gutter-soaked
rubbish that rides on every breeze,
swirls around the corners and finds
Judgment finally where it makes the
most muss.
The odd fact about litter Is that it
never originates itself; nor does it
terminate and grow like weeds. It
s. rings from human Indifference.
Some foreign cities, notably Munich,
make point of keeping their streets
and sidewalks clean; Americans
merely talk about it, and keep on
strewing litter.
A city provides a great park and
thousands gather on Sundays and hol-
idays for recreation. The next day
the place looks like the path of a
cyclone, and it requires the labor Of
many men many hours to clean up
the rubbish with which the public
desecrates its own premises.
In the country tourists lunch by the
roadside and. contribute the leavings
to the god of disorder. Beauty Of
wood and landscape is married by
shrubbery blown full of the relics Of
last weeks repasts.
Rubbish in city or country is per-
sonalr matter in the scattering but a
community offense in the end. Cure
of the evil must depend on an aroused
sense Of public decency. Cities,
towns and country districts should
have pride in being known by some
thing else than the litter they toler-
ate.

All Must Cooperate
to Beautifv Hiphwav

Specialists, who comprise an advis-
Ory committee of the state highway
commission. on a recent visit to Tilla-
nook county urged that this county
encourage planting rhododendrons
along the highway, creating a beauty
that, along with the many attractions
this coast section has to offer, will in
duce visitors to come to our county
and to remain with us.
We like the idea. We have seen It
elsewhere. Clatsop has it's Scotch
broom, which when in bloom makes
beautiful highway that gives last
ing pleasant impression to the motor
list who travels along those ways.
Other sections are making efforts to
grow California peoples along their
'roadsides. But before such a scheme
can be wholly successful the depreda-
tons of motorists, too often home
folk, it is said, must cease. To selfish
ly rob the highways of its flowers
brings but little pleasure to those who
steal them,. and leaves barren unat-
tractive routes. It usually happens
that the flowers and shrubbery are
wilted and are thrown out of the cars
before the motorist reaches his home.
Any scheme to beautify the high
ways will require the hearty cooper
alton of all, the home folks as well as
the visitors, if attractive boulevards

ism has the head of the procession, as it

The meaning of that development is worth

parson would say, 1t means that American
trade unionism is recognized by all as an insti-

important part of the structure of American
life.' It Is an institution whose lawful objects

when millions and millions Of peo-

In this day. when so many look upon the dark
side Of the progress of the labor movement
and predict worse things in store for the
laborer, 1t is not amiss to directs attention to
the fact that the life of the human family is
one vast struggle, and that though the progress
Is not as swift as we, as well as our impatient
brothers and sisters of labor, would like 1t to
