He admits that the women of the upper classes have vastly Improved In their knowledge with elegance and taste. Women who belong to the the atrical profession, "those who are ad dicted to sport and the halt-world, are now In almost all cases costumed In a way to make the German street scene far more attractive and pleas ing than It was a do:en years ago. There Is still an enormous number of women who know what taste and elegance are when they see them, yet from motives of tradition and econ omy, chiefly the latter, steadily refuse to follow their dictates. These wo men, usually from 40 to 60 years of age, pin their faith to silk. Silk Is their fetich, silk they reverence and the oldel- It' Is the better, apparently, they like It. It Is this clinging to tra dition and economy that gives so many theater audiences in Germany their look of commonplaceness. NEW ItFXU IATIONS FOR WEARERS OF THE BIG "S" Engine Plunge Into River.

Tells Minister to Throw It Away and Ruy Dirt. ' Portland, Me. Two practical sug gestions were urged by Bishop Quayle In an address to the class of four can didates admitted a few days ago. The first was to have their lives Insured If married, Impressing upon them the importance of having their wives pro vided for when they were "corrses," as well as when they were living. The second suggestion was to buy ! a plot of land where they could go and be Independent In case of their not being In the active pastorate. "Don't sing 'No Foot of Land Do I Possess,' " he said. "Throw away that hymn and buy a little dirt." . i He urged the class to be men with brains; men with character; men with hearts, and to make themselves felt In the lifting of burdens from the hearts of the people of the communl- ' ties In which they are to minister.

With Uoardman's smashing three bagger that tore through the outfield to the club house, Sacramento chalked up a run In the 14th inning of the game with Oakland yesterday and broke up a splendidly played session that had been carried toward dark without a man crossing the plate. Briggs was on first when the third baseman con nected with a low one from Nelson's delivery and as the sphere sailed he .ambled home.

J. During a trial of j the $300,000 damage suit of one big : manufacturing company against an-J other, there was a sudden interrup- ; tlon caused by former Attorney-Gen- er:il Robert H. McCarter stopping In his argument for fully a minute. j There was a fixed look on his face His arm, used In a gesture, remained extended. Thinking that he was suf- , fering from a sudden attack of 111-'. ness those In the court room stirred ; uneasily, nnd several court attendants : made their way to the lawyer to give him assistance. j Slowly, as if in a dream. Mr. Mc- ! , Carter reached In an Inside pocket j nnd drew forth three letters, at which ! he gazed ruefully. Then he gave the following brief explanation, which ' convulsed the court room: "My wife gave me these letters to 1 post and I forgot them until this' minute." It Pays to Tell the Truth and not with your fingers crossed ADVERTISING TALK NO. 3. ' ; In a letter that came to me the other day there was a letter that's so good Itll have to repeat it. It runs thus: A young fellow who was running a restaurant realized that ho would have to get more business immediately or he would go broke. Te took Hose, the colored waiter, into his confidence. "Sho," says Mose, "I'll get the business for you," and he started out to stir it up. There was soon a great rush of patrons to the restaurant, and everyone called for chicken. Then each chap asked for a silk umbrella, but, of course, he didn't get it The disappointed and disgusted patrons were beginning to make trouble, when finally Mose put in an appearance. When confronted by the angry crowd he held up his hand and said : "Lemme alone, Gen'lemen, and ah'll explain. You see, it's jos' lake dis. I)e boss needs de money more than anybody else, so ah sent youse all in here to spend yo' cash. "Ah suttenly did promise a silk umbrella wif each order of chicken but dat was jes a f igger of speech, and ah had ma' fingers crossed all de time. "Yo' done got yo' chicken, de bos3 has de money, and I'se not financially 'sponsible. So let's let the matter drop." Have YOU got your fingers crossed ? Trying to deceive the public in advertising is a mighty risky business. It acts just like a boomerang, and it's apt to slap you in the face whe you're not looking. It is a "hundred to one shot" that Mose's proprietor had to go out of business eventually. He enjoyed a short reign of prospertiy, but, no matter how good his chicken was, you know that the fellows who responded to Mose's appeal didn't go back to that chicken shop any more. They had been promised some thing for nothing, and they didn't get it. They were "sore." Xo matter how many customers you. attract to your store, don't let them go away with any sore spots. If you do, they won't cross your threshhold again. Stick to truth in your advertising truth which seeks no corners. Former President Roosevelt said : "This nation never stood in greater need than now of having hmong its leaders men of lofty ideals, which they try to live i'p to. We need men with these ideals in public life, and we need them just as much in business." It pays to tell the truth, to have high ideals, even in ad vertisings It is the aim of every progressive newspaper to establish a standard of excellence; the publisher wants the public to feeF that it can rely on what appears in its columns, both advertis ing and news. For it is the progressive, truth-telling publica tion that persuades human minds. Recently a big department store had 500 mufflers of a cer tain brand in stock which they wanted to get rid of. They were not quite up to standard and slightly damaged. So the department heads had a conference. The man who buys goods for the house didn't think much of the mufflers, and he was very pessimistic about the possi bility of selling them. But they tried it. An advertisement in the morning paper read something like this: "Special Sale of Mufflers. 500 black mufflers on sale to day. They're slightly damaged and our purchasing depart ment doesn't think they are much good anyway. But you can have them, while they last, at 25 cents each." Before noon of that day that line of mufflers had been en tirely sold out. People who wanted mufflers thought they would take a chance on them anyway, and the store hadn't obligated itself. There was a good feeling all round. If the people know that they can depend on what you say in your advertising, they are going to trade in your store when you advertise something they want. And if you reach them with your selling talk through every issue of the newspaper, they are going to look for your ad to see what yoti have for sale. Let your advertising be full of life and enthusiasm too. If the reading matter which it presents is vital, then it is sure to eventually get a vital hold on the public. I DDT-Oregon Theatre--?
