CHICK COST LOW

Eggs at the present prices"
said A. L. Ruth, local manager Of
Swift & Company, "may well be
used for Matching, to maintain the
farm flock. Not for years, have
producers been able to produce
chicks so cheaply. Whether biddy
is allowed to hatch them or wheth-
err bought from the hatchery, the
chicks now represent low per-unit
cost and even where a producer
obtains only a so percent yield Of
hen Matched chicks his investment
in them will still be small"

STATE MAKES
OFFER TO TAKE
OVER BRIDGE
/, .o;slature Makes Provisions
for Everything District
Needs in Highways; Flat
Auto Tax Dead
Bv o. H. OLSON

While it is too early to tell what
tho ultimate road bill is going to
~ everything looks favorable at
tbe present moment. The Senate
included 100000 for the pur-
chase or construction of bridge,
pasco- Kennewick. They also have
IN item of $4,000 for oiling from
Tanuewick to Plymouth. Also a
change has been made from the
administration budget by shift
mo approximately 100000 from
haIow The Grand Dalles to the
stretch of North Bank Highway
from Maryhill to Plymouth. If it
4 possible to retain all these inn
proyements it will certainly look
good for the road program in that
district.
It might be said that the Sen
ate has adopted a very desirable
scheme of road development. Their
program calls for concentration
on the three cross-state highways,
the North Bank and Loop high
ways. They are taking substantial
sums from the Olympic Peninsula
highway and the Ocean Beach
Highway, both of which have been
very heavy recipients of funds in
the past, and diverting it to 9TH
er programs. Stevens Pass High
way for instance will receive
million dollars according to the
Senate program. For the complete
Development of the state I do not
believe there can be much fault
found with this program Of COM
pleting the three cross-state high
xsgs.
The House approved the two in
come tax bills Tuesday afternoon
by substantial majorities. In the
evening the Showalter bill also
was passed. These three meas
ures are really interdependent. The
success of the Showalter bill de-
pended largely upon the passage
Of the income tax bills and no
doubt would have failed to pass it
only had a majority of three votes
to spare and several people said
they were voting for it because
the income tax bills had been
passed.
The House also passed the SEN
ate bill permitting reassessment
Of railroad properties and other
properties which may have es-
capped taxation, but defeated SEN
ate bill No. 8, which provided for
the rules of valuation and specified
the factors to be considered in the
valulng of railroads in this state.
It's defeat was largely the result
OF the open opposition of the Great
Northern Railroad which threat
ened that if it passed they would
JOIN the other roads in litigating
Their taxes-hitherto they have
paid theirs and the counties in
winch they operate voted very
largely against the bill as a re-
suit.
Tn
1t looks now as though we will
nave another prolonged session on
thursday, as any number of meas
ures are going into conference,
particularly the appropriation and
highway bills as well as some of
sae tax measures.
The flat license is dead for
snls session, as it appears now.

Bath Room Is Full
Of Lovely Color

There are all sorts of attractive sets
of glassware for the bath room. Some
consist Of two tumblers. soap dish
and small covered urn-like dish for
bath salts. This salts dish is really
like a bonbon dish. That Is probably
the best description.
In the modern bath room there is
often an inset soap dish over the tub
and the wash basin. But the glass
soap dish may also be given a place
to hold ones pet toilet soap. These
glass sets come in amber, ruby, green,
black and white glass-sometimes, too,
in blue and rose and violet. So you
can find one to fit in with any color
scheme you are carrying out.
Bath rooms are often not fitted with
window curtains. But sometimes win
dow curtains to match the bath cur
tains are chosen. In one really beau
tiful bath room finished in palest green
tile windows and shower were cur
tanned in yellow, with MORE finish.
The window curtaining was water proof,
and, of course, the shower bath cur
tain was of rubber, with the outside fin
ished in watered yellow in a rich and
beautiful shade.
The new decorated bath curtain gives
a most attractive touch of color to the
bath room. 1t Is sometimes in figures,
sometimes in stripes, sometimes in the
watered finish and sometimes, of course,
quite plain, in any desired color.

Are Small
And Convenient

The occasional table-that Is what
the interior decorators call the small
table that is placed here, there and
everywhere in our houses. 1t is a table
small enough to be easily moved around,
from place to place, wherever we want
to use 1t.
Today it may be used for flowers in
a sunny window. Tomorrow 1t may be
taken into the garden to hold the tray
of ginger ale glasses. Next day 1t may
be used to hold books or magazines on
the porch. It's charm lies in the fact
that it is small, easily moved, and vari-
ously useful.
For use in Summer, on porch and In
the garden, there are specially designed
tables. They are, for one thing, weather.
proof. Yet they are not cumbersome.
They still fall under the classification
Of occasional tables. They can be moved
about from lawn to veranda and back
again without straining the muscles or
harming the tables.
One such table that is endlessly use
full consists of a metal folding frame
work, held together at the top with
broad bands of canvas tape, like those
baggage racks one finds in hotel rooms
When the rack Is open 1t holds o big
metal tray, painted gayly in number
of designs. big enough to hold most Of
the ingredients for q garden lunch, yet
convenient for even single glass OF
water. When not in use the frame
work of the table Is folded away in
corner and the big tray is placed at
the back Of q pantry shell, so the whole
thing Is out of the way.
Another lovely garden or veranda
table is made with plate-glass top set
into a metal frame. The lower frame
work Of the table, Of metal, holds dish
Of ferns or q japanese garden or o
bowl of flowers. which are. visible
through the clear top.

stores are showing colored mesh stock

other colors to go with the dress trim

But generally speaking stockings
remain inconspicuouS both in color and
design. Fine clocks are about the only
trimming that well-dressed women
favor and as a rule they choose stock
ings Of inconspicuous beige tones Only
rarely does one see stockings of a dis
tinctly brown or gunmetal cast at
present though these darker tones may
be revived with the cooler weather.
Shoes too have a tendency this Sum-
mer to be inconspicuous. Beige shoes
are worn for the street even with dark
dresses. Brown shoes with beige stock
ings are favored by many French
women and there is a distinct vogue
for shoes combining brown and white,
most apr opriate with the smart
brown and white silk print or the
brown and white linen suit. White
shoes are worn everywhere. but in
the estimation Of many we'll dressed
women they are more appropriate for
resort or country wear than for street
wear in town.

PARIS, June "a.
A T the recent opening of the build
ing devoted to the luxury trades
at the Colonial Exposition the Haute
Couture was the center of the stage
and the designing trade was out in
force. Displays Of each branch of the
industry, from fabric to completed
gowns were of great interest. The CEN
trail rotunda had a center display OF
single frock from each house, the walls
having groups from various houses.
The outstanding note was that this
center display was entirely in delicate
tones of pink, with materials varying
from satin, which was in the majority.

versal was this movement that it is one
to consider with real gravity. The
complication of hairdressing is quite in

simplicity of our daytime clothes it
hardly seems possible that these elab-
orations can be accomplished with our
own hair. Are we to experience. then.

New Shoe Styles

WHAT is new in shoes and
w what shall we wear with
certain types of dress, are ques-
tons frequently asked by our
readers. AS a general answer to
these questions we mention six
shoes that are the last words in
footwear styles.
With white evening dresses
wear white satin or white faille
shoes. The newest ones feature
silver straps, silver heels, bead
embroidery and printed satin
damask motifs.
Evening dresses Of lowered
chiffon and gowns in dark colors
require the sandal Of lame in
rich colorings.
Brown and white ensembles are
given the finishing touch by
shoes of dark brown kid orna-
mented with eyelets bound in
white. For light colored semi
sports dresses there Is the white
kid shoe with an elastic in the
back to give comfort in walking.
and the kid shoe with inserts Of
crocheted string.
In stockings adhere to the
dusty shades, those cold beige
tones for general wear. Pale
sun-tans for the evening and a
few bright colors for sports, If
you are daring. and every one
knows the important place that
color occupies in fashion at the
moment.

With Eyelets.

Hats Of embroidered eyelet linen
have made their appearance. They
may be Of white or pastel tone and
are made with q not very wide. floppy
brim and are usually banded in with
ribbon.
Then there are corsage flowers of
white eyelet embroidery. The petals
are cut with raw edges and put to-
gether with yellow or black centers.
Eyelet embroidered blouses are in
excellent style. They are daintily
made and trimmed. often. with valen-
ciennes lace. But they are durable.

q boon for the Summer wardrobe.

restaurant, with its tinkling
fountains linen chair coverings and
flower boxes, is a pleasing background
for the Summer clothes chosen by
women lunching in town these days of
late June.
Hats showed new influence. Many of
them were of felt, and designed so that
it was impossible, in their wearing, to
do anything but tilt them at more ex-
month ago. Felts, dull white velvets
and suede hats are making an early
appearance this Summer.
An Empress Eugene hat of white
suede was worn with a navy blue silk
suit. A sailor of dark blue felt showed
the latest mode of trimming a sailor,
the perky little feather at the side
Another place during the last week
has been the rendezvous of many So
ciety women in town for bit of shop
ping and lunch, and there we saw the
sheer white jacket; worn with a dark
skirt much in evidence. An interesting
version of this idea showed Vionnet's
influence, in the wrapped effect of the
white georgette jacket with its draped
top. tight-fitting hipline and long
sleeves that had no armholes. The skirt
was black satin. A knitted cap of black
chenille effectively completed the cos
tune, and it is probably unnecessary
to add that the cap was worn very far
back on the head, like skull cap.
Chiffon woolens are making a re-
markable showing in town. Many of
them are in patterns that have the ap-
pearance of printed chiffons, with the
unobtrusive plaids distinctive.
The choice of those lunching at one
roof on the hot days of last week ran
to the printed silk or chiffon jacket suit
and tailored suits of chiffon in the new
fiat crepe finish. In this material the
Jackets are made double.
