The Different Store" A GOOD STORY Is told of a lad in one of dur public schools, who, in response to the question : 11 Where does the Mississippi rise? answered "All along its banks.': Just so with our bargain list of worthy merchandise this week. The flood of bargains overflows every section from first floor to roof. There's no let up, and even the generous stream which surged thro' a full page of yesterday's Oregonian could not keep in bounds the many exceptional values that clamored for mention. We've endeavored to include the overflow here today with several tributary under-price streams which come rushing in this moraine to swell the bargain torrent for today and the week. Particular stress is laid upon the great sale of Walking Skirts, $6.50 and $7.50 values at $3.79 (Second floor, Garment Section). The Great Demonstration of new and beautiful Shell Combs and Ha"ir Pins (First floor, main Aisle), and the Sensational Bargains in the Undermuslin Section $1.25 values fine LawnTJn- aersKirts at 97c (Second floor Annex). Bttsy-ness Bringing Sale of Underskirts (Second-floor Annex) The uneqnaled economies of our sale this week of undcrmuslins are well illustrated by this offering of fine lawn underskirts. Com pare these garments with any you can find elsewhere at the same prices and you'll .see that in quality of materials, in fullness of size, in daintiness of trimming and in general all 'round excellence these are by far the best underskirts you can get for the money.- And so it is throughout the entire collection of Undermuslins.

The only difference between this busy section of our "busyness" store and the exclusive shoe store lies in the pricings of the goods and qualities shown. The volume cf business, as every business man knows, decreases the cost of doing business, and a smaller profit is required. In a word, you can buy better shoes here for less money than you are asked to pay elsewhere. THE PINGREE A mighty good shoe for women. THE GLORIA The best 53.60 shoe made.

A Joint committee from the Appleton and Neenah Brotherhoods of Papermak ers will meet the Klmberly & Clark Com pany at Neenah Monday afternoon.

Mass.. April 19. The fourth week of the strike of the textile oper atives will begin tomorrow, with peace apparently as far oft as ever. No attempt will be made to reopen the mills during' the week, but It is possible that next week the agents will make a test of the strength of the organized crafts by an announce ment that their gates will be open to all who care to return. Since the Investigation of the situation under state direction there has been a feeling that the factories would remain closed until after the arbitration board bad made Its report, and a statement of one of the mill agents tonight confirms that Idea. f Bntte Telephone Strike Settled.

The news that Professor Oscar Lovell Trlggs. of the University of Chicago, may appear as a theatrical advance agent will give Joy to every friend of higher ed ucation In America. Such a dazzling pro motion for Professor Trlggs xnuot at once make college teaching more attractive to ambitious young men. Hitherto the com plaint has been that the pay Is small and the work leads to nothing more. A young man who might have been a lawyer with an Income ranging from tSMO upwards, with a prospect of a seat on the bench or perhaps a brilliant political career, might reasonably have hesitated before becoming a. professor with an In come of $0000 or ItOCO at the utmost, and no brass bands and skyrockets. But Protesor Trlggs has blazed the way to new glories. For yearn he has been showing his colleagues that a professqr of mettle can himself be both a brass band and a skyrocket. And now a theat rical manager offers blm the exceeding great reward of $700 a week to travel ahead of a play called "Romeo and Juliet." place the stamp of professional approval upon this production of a hlth. erto unknown author, and assure the good people of Indiana and Illinois that in his way Shakespeare Is the equal of General Lew Wallace or even Professor William Cleaver Wilkinson, of the Uni versity of Chicago. This Is fine, and all the more so because If Professor Trlggs keeps on developing, he will Inevitably become the whole show himself.

MEN'S AND WOMEN'S WORK Isn't It True, After All, That Male "Invaders" Are In the Majority f Washington Post. The alleged failure of women to achieve success in tho official capacity of Inspect ors of, immigrants prompts the New Tork Evening Sun to remark that "there are a few trades still left In which mere men have a monopoly." If that be true the male contingent of the human family possesses that which the female does not. We cannot think of any trade or of any profession or oc cupation of which women have a monop oly. It la often asserted that women have Invaded fields of activity which nature evidently intended for the exclusive oc cupancy of men. Acres of rhetoric and oceans of Ink have been expended In the exploitation of this complaint. It began In tats country more than 50 years ago. and it Is still kept up. Although nme progrem has been made In dispelling the illusion, it Is still widely prevalent. Many thou sands of men. Including, perhaps, a ma jority of the clergy, are accustomed to dilate with more of indignation than of logic on the "obtrusion of women" Into occupations for which their es ia un fitted. The truth Is. the obtrusion or Invasion was begun and has been continued In the reverse direction.- In the old times there were some occupations In which women had a monopoly. For example, women used, to make their own clothing and knit hos for themselves and for the male members .of the family. At this time the clothing business. In all Its departments. Is controlled by men. The manufacture and sale of ladles' underwear Is In the hands of men. It Id true that women are employed at pitiful wages to make those garments, and that most of the re tailing of them Is done by saleswomen: but. In both cases, the ownership and con trol belong to men. The tailor the ladles tailor has occupied another Held In which woman was formerly supreme. The wash. lng of clothes as well as the making of mem nas been taken over by the men. and the' cooking of food has gone in the same direction to a great extent. Ever slncn the machine began the dis placement of women In spinning, weaving, sewing and knitting, there has been a con tinuous absorption by men of the bread winning employment of women. We are not presenting these facts by way of com plaint. The changes that have been wrought by the machine were Inevitable, and their Influence Is wholesome not de grading, but uplifting. The'transfer to or absorption by men of what used to be women's work has been attended by a per fectly natural movement in the opposite direction. The old Una of demarcation between the supposed spheres of the sexes has been obliterated. Of course, there are nome kinds of work for which women are not physically qualified, but where Is the employment of which women have a monopoly? CROOKED DEALING AT FARO X New Yorker Thinks Mr. Jerome Is Mistaken Abont Horr It Is Done. New Tork Sun. 'Tm very ready to believe all that Dis trict Attorney Jerome says about crooked faro boxes In swell gambling-houses." said a New Torker. "but there is one thing that I cannot understand, and many oth ers I know are In the same plight, and that Is how a dealer who slips more than one card out of the box at a time squares things with the record of the case keeper. "A man who alts down at a table and begins to play faro either keeps cases himself, has some one else do It for him or constantly consults the house case keeper. If be doesn't he Is the rankest kind of rank sucker, and In my experience rank suckers are very scarce, although those of the common garden variety seem to be plentiful enough. "Now, here Is the situation at a faro table: A half dozen men are playing, and at least two sets of cases are being kept. At each turn of a card a record Is duly made, showing whether a card won or lost. "A glance at this card not only tells what cards have been played and which won and which lost, but clearly It shows what cards are still In the box. Since faro bank was first played, cases have been kept In this fashion. "If they weren't a man might be playing his money on cards that were all out. and wouldn't get action until a new shuffle and deal bad taken place. If he happened - to be combining bis bets on several cards, think of the percentage against him from the very fact that one or more of the cards he was gambling on were dead ones. "Now, if a dealer, observing the rjlav. I' slips two cards instead of one. In order to avoid facing the ridden card, or In order to reach a card a little deeper In the oecx on a losing instead of a winning turn, how Is the case keeper going to account for that lost card on his record? There are 52 cards In -the deck and players are en titled to a play on every card after the first turn. "Some way or other the card that was smuggled out must be got back In the box. and while these dealers may be able to get more than one card out at a time. I'd like to see the dealer who can smuggle a card Into a faro box while the play Is on. "Assuming that a card is to be sneaked out by the dealer, it Is fair to believe that he knows at the beginning of the deal Just where the heavy play la to be. As a matter of fact, big gambling at faro comes toward the end of the deal, when there are only a few cards left In the box and heavy bets are made as to the order In which they will turn up. "It Is stretching things to believe that the dealer can give the case keeper a signal to Indicate which card he has smug gled out. but even assuming this Incredible Our entire stocK, embracing' all the newest and most stylish merchandise for Spring and Summer, 19 OS, is being sold at reduced prices.
