tVITH tho mid-winter season
VV close by, with its dances and
4ir tiers, the well dressed woman
fc devoting more attention to the
.ciVssorics of the evening cos
tu i". And this season there are
many new accessories of engaging
iMirn.
iT'T.Iko for example, one of the
Jae't fads tho fan. In the up
per sketch is shown a beautiful
fcn of amber frame, flounced with
Hack Chantilly lace. At first it
lay seem absurd but one may
be comfortably sure that not only
Z it cause a fluttering gossip,
but will be in perfect taste a3
well. Of course, it is taken for
panted that discretion will be
,tued, for it is quite essential that
ft is carried only by a rather wil
lowy person, gowned in
clinging silks or satins.
For the more conservative,
the jade and black fan of
sequins is suggested. This
fan cf.rried by Gloria Swan-
son, starring in xae i-aramounr,
picture, "Her Husband's Trade
mark," lends a pleasing yet bril
liant touch to any costume.
Another clever innovation in
far.s, acceptable for the evening
costume, is the tiny fan shown
in the sketch with the gown. This
is of orchid tulle, and is finished
off with long flues of orchid os
trich feather, as is the tassel at
the end of a long silk cord.
Miss Swanson, ever an enviable
type for the designer of Spanish
costumes, is in possession of this
I entrancing gown of black velvet
and dull silver laco, decidedly
reminiscent of a Velasquez paint
ing. The skirt is built on bouffant
lines, and is set to a tight bodice,
which has a round yoke fitting
over tho top of the arm and so
forming a covering for the sleeves.
Regardless of the class in which
this gown belongs, it has an un
even hem, and is slashed at the
left side, thus luring reason for
trimming the edges with dull sil
ver galloon. A further Spanish
touch is furnished by a vivid red
rose.

Japaness Mortality Rats Lower In
Silkworm Season, It is Said, for
Remarkable Reason. ,
Tboro are miiny reasons for death,
rut It Is a remarkable thins that dur
ing tho silkworm rearing; time In the
silk districts, even the sickest peoplo,
contrary to all expectation, do not die.
The rate of death among old peoyle
and Invalids in tho silk regions dur
ing the buslost season Is very low In
deed. What is the reason? Well, most of
tlieso peoplo unconsciously think,
"Well. If I die now, everything will
be very much upset becauso I do not
finish my work, nnd If I die, I too will
be very much upset In the other world
becnuso no ono hero will havo time to
five mo a good funeral and to sou
that I am properly and comfortably
burled. Fo 1 guess I had better live
Just a bit longer." And rcninrknblo
to relate they do go on living. The
will to live makes them bear tho Ills
of living nnd they do not dlo durlns
the growing season. j
But after tho transfer of the ma-1
tured silkworms to tho cocoon beds, j
for ten days there are people dylnir
everywhere. That Is strange, too. Hut 1
really It Is beeauso tho spirit no long- I
er holds thetn up. The excitement Is I
over and with rest comes denth ; tho !
time of anxiety Is over and the strain j
Is loosened and with tha loosening :
comes the end of life. j
In the Pllk regions them am not
many deaths In either tho extremely
hot or tha extremely cold times. Hut
Just after tho silkworms are trans- j
ferred to tho cocoon beds, after thn
strenuous days of rearing them from '
tho egg are over, then they dla like ,

Food In the Greatest Abundance, but
Woeful Scarcity of Water, Is
the Situation There.
Americans who find life expensive
would secure unbounded relief If they
could go to Auntoliu, In Asia Minor.
In the urea through which the Greek
army passed In Its advance on Angora,
lambs sell for 00 cents each, chickens
for li; cents, whole cows for $!) and
eggs for half a cent. Kverywhere food
Is found In great abundance and at
prices such as America never heard of
even before tho war.
The fertile fields of Anatolia rival
those of the most productive American
state. Wheat Is the principal com
modity of the thrifty Turkish nnd Kurd
farmers. They raise sufficient quan
tities to feed a continent. When King
Constantino's army made Us advance
into the heart of the Kemnlist country
It found hundreds of thousands of tons
of wheat and grain.
The Greeks ulso found Incalculable
numbers of cattle and sheep. Cows,
oxen and water buffalo swarm the
plains of Asia Minor, while the famous
Angora goats and Cnrnman sheep are
so numerous that they sell for about
the price of a pound of mutton in any
American city.
It Is tills great cornucopia that has
made It possible for Mustuphn Kemal's
army to subsist so long without out
side assistance. It Is also this great
abundance thnt has kept the Orcek
forces going. Their onward mnrch to
Angora would not hare been possible
upon the meager food supplies they
havo been able to transport from
Smyrna and Greece.
Thn only thing scarce In Anntolla,
particularly In the southern part, Is
water. The territory over which the
Greek troops marched Is made up
largely of desert land nnd hnrren hills,
with water only at distant Intervals.
For days the weary soldiers had to
tnareh under the burnlna Asia sun
without a drop of water.
Machine Ties a Square Knot.
One of the new applications of
small motors Is the tying of bundles.
It takes nn expert to tie a bundle
properly by hand. It seemed to he
one of the band operations that would
not soon be usurped by a machine,
yet here Is a parcel tier driven by a
half horsepower motor that automati
cally ties and releases each bundle
or box placed on Its table. Moreover,
the machine may be depended upon
to tie a square knot and after the
tying Is completed the pnrcel Is thrown
off, to muke room for the next.
South America Opening Coal Mines.
Fear that the coal deposits of the
I'nlted States would become exhausted
has led to ttie development of coal
mining Interests In South America.
Whereas formerly Chile was about
the only coal-producing country In
South America, coal development Is
now being curried on extensively In
many countries from Colombia to Tut-
L'-'OiU.
SALEM, Ore., Dec. 26.-iWhlle the
special session of the legislature
which was called last week to con
sider four measures, passed a total
of twenty-one house hills and eleven
senate. bills, few of them outside the
Initial program as announced by the
governor are of great importance.
Several are purely local t measures
and most of them are corrective of
defects in bills passed In previous
sessions. Most important of the er
rors corrected were those of the ap
propriation bills of the 1921 regular
session.
Several Joint resolutions were
passed last week, but none Is of Im
portance with the exception of that
referring to the people the gasoline
tax amendment known as the 1925
exposition measure, and the courts
will have to determine whether that
legally passed.
The resolution creating a commis
sion to audit state accounts caused
considerable talk, but was purely a
political slap at the administration.
Not much Is expected of the commis-1
slon, although it was given a purse
of $5000 to work with.
Highway Hills Pass. j
Aside from the exposition tneas-
ures the most progressive legislation
of the session was embodied In the
three highway protective .measures
that were submitted by the gover
nor's special committee.
One of these, house bill 21, plnccs
motor bus and transportation lines
under the Jurisdiction of the public
service commission. On this measuie
a battle was waged all week, mainly
on the point whether a clause of con
venience and necessity ,:ahould be
embodied In the measure. The bus
men wanted the clause and the rail
roads fought against It. It was not
put Into the measure. :
Another of the three measures
gives the state highway commission
police power over the highways, and
the third makes more stringent tho
regulations concerning apeed and
weight of truck loads. i
Kddy Hill luiKirtiint.
Senate bill 7. Introduced by Eddy,
is considered Important. It removes
road districts from the scope of the
budget law of 1921 and validates the
special road levies of all those dis
tricts In the state that failed to com
ply with the requirements of the
budget law In voting special assess
ments during the past foil.
Senate bill No. 9, by Nlckelcen,
affords much relief to settlers In ir
rigation districts and Incidentally til
bankers in those districts. The state
land board is not allowed by law to
loan moneys of the Irreducible fund
on encumbered property. Some time
ago an opinion of the attorney-general
held that irrigation district
lands where bonds have been issued
Is encumbered property within the
meaning of the law. Since the attorney-general
gave his opinion the
land board has not loaned money on
lands In Irrigation districts and has
refused to renew loans maturing
since then. Many of the banks have
not been In position to carry the
settlers and the latter have been
hard pressed as a result. The Nick
elsen act removes irrigation district
lands from tlw restriction.
ltanklng Act Amende!.
Another measure that apparently
will mean financial relief In many
sections Is the Stnples-ltohertson act.
senate bill No. 11, which removes
the restriction on state banks In bor
rowing from the federal reserve
bank, war finance corporation or.
other government agencies. At pres
ent state banks may not borrow In
excess of their paid-in enpltal and
surplus, so their loaning power to
patrons Is llml'ed. Cnder the new
act whether the hanks may borrow In
excess of capital and surplus Is sub
ject to approval of the state superin
tendent of banks. i
In appropriations the special ses-,
slon added a total of J220.O0O to
funds appropriated at the regular!
session a year ago.
When th'.? state bonus and loan'
commission for ex-service men was!
created at the last regular session,
$30,000 was appropriated for the,
commission to operate on. This was
not enough and the special session
last week appropriated HlO.nnu
more, making $1 20,000 In all. I
Other appropriations at the spe
cial session were: !
To repair equipment of the slate
fish commission damaged by Novem-j
ber storms. $64,500. j
To compensate farmers holding
flax contracts with the state, $:10.-
oon.
For expense of the legislative ses
sion. $15,000.
For special election simultaneous
ly with primary election on May 10,
$15,000.
To complete Alderson school nt
Naturally tho J. C. Penney Company is in business to make
money, for that is essential if the business is to otrry on, but if
that alone was the only reason it would possess a lame excuse lor
its existence.
The r.ig Idea behind this Nation-wide institution is the potent
fact that it is governed by the Golden Rule : "Whatsoever ye would
that Men should do to you, do ye even unto them."
In all its 312 stores, the Golden Rule is practiced. It is unalter
able, irrevocable!
It rules our every transaction with YOU!
Quality of our merchandise is never misrepi resented. For ex
ample : All wool in our stores does not mean part cotton or shoddy.
We stand sponsor for everything bought from us!
You and your neighbors pay the one and the same price; no more,
no less! And that price represents a superior value tho year
'round ; we never hold sales !
This is the difference the Big Idea! 7

MOSCOW (Uy Mail). A milder
appearing, gentler, more affable lot
of men personally than the leaders
of the llolshevik government, per
petrators of the Heel Terror of 1918,
cannot be found in any administra
tion In Europe.
From l.enin down, the contrast be
tween the kind of men I had expect
ed to find and the kind of man I
actually saw before me In Moscow
was ono pf the greatest surprises I
had.
I saw Lenin first at an electric
plough demonstration, on a field near
Moscow. With his gray lett liat
jammed low over his ears and his
dark overcoat flapping at his knees,
be walked quickly over the meadow
land to the group of mechanics
standing around the plough. People
who know him say be has agcil rap
ldly -the last 18 months, lie no long
er wears the smart goatee of Hie
early days of tho revolution. His
face Is now covered with a beard
abpwlng faint traces of gray.
There was nothing especially strik
ing In his appearance, lie did not
stand out from the other men as they
stood there together. lit! spoke
quietly and without bent, his appeal
being to thn rational, deliberative,
rather than to the emotional side.
Ho giivo tho Impression of sincerity.
My first ellmph of Trotsky was
also a surprise of a different na
ture. It was at a meeting of the
Moscow Soviet, lie emtio upon the
platform dressed in a smart, neatly
fitting gray Norfolk uniform. Ills
rosy cheeks were shaved to the point
of glistening, lending an additional
blackness to his pitch black goatee
and miislachn. Ills linen was Im
maculate. Ills patent bather shoes
reflect d the light of the Immense
glass chandeliers suspended from the
Inlaid celling. lie carried a New j
York lawyer's leather brief case nn-
der his arm. Ills- voire was extreme
ly high, but carried well, lie spoke
with Itooseveltion gestures nnd em
phasis. The next time T saw him was In
the Tied Suunro addressing 20.000
soldiers at. Hie time of I In- Polish
crhls. lie held them 1.1 minutes,
while a cold rain beat down upon
their helmets.
Kanieneff. president of the Mos
cow Soviet and Influential member or
the cabinet, has one or the most
pleasing personalities of any member
of the government. He Is quiet,
sympathetic, linn ffei-l ed . lie talks
franklv and directly. He Is a keen
judg" ,,r human nature, and has a
facultv of seeing both sides of a
question. Kanieneff Is one or the
more liberal Influences In the pres
ent administration. He is the most
Iniere.lcd In America nnd In restor
lim llu"" American relations or any
nr the cointnls-ars. with the possible
exception of f'hlcherlll.
Kalinin, Iluxsla's peasant president
looks like an average fairly well
educated fanner In the American
mlddlcwcst. Ills personality is the
extreme sntltbesls of "bloody llol
shevik." Ills fatherly sympathy and
bcaeiMig kindliness warms your
heart right at the outset. Ills ante
room, full or peasants coming to
seek ''- b in anl advice, Is one or
the most picture ue sights In Mos
cow. ("ii'herln. commissar or foreign

spends sixteen to seventeen hours at
his desk every day, takes no recrea
tion. Personalities hardly exist for
him. His secretaries say he seldom
recognizes them, hardly even seeB
them. To him, they are simply so
ninny instruments for certain defi
nite purposes.
In appearance ltadek lives up to
many of one's early pictures of a llol
shevik his bristling brown chin
whiskers, long eyebrows, and ener
getic movements all except his eyes
with their merry twinkle and his
mouth, with its frequent smile of
amusement, which seem to Bay that
the fierce bristling whiskers and the
long eyebrows are only a bluff, ills
gold rimmed glasses also hardly seem
to "go" with the pirate's eyebrows.
Itadok Is one of the most erudite
of all the people In the Kremlin
Lenin not oicepted. It is said that
if anything were to happen to the
llolshevik administration, be could
step Into a chair tomorrow at almost
any big German university. He Is
Russia's "Colonel House." ami as
confidential advisor of Lenin, exer
cises a great Influence In the Kremlin.
