Approved by sportsmen, Lodal sportsmen generally will approve of the recom meiidiition of the state game commission, to the legislature, . putting the steelhead salmon (or trout) in the class with game fish in several Oregon rivers, among them the Ump- qua. If the legislature acts favorably it will mean that the steelheads cannot be taken-lawfully with nets'. This would leave that variety of fish exclusively to' anglers, providing the nets used by commercial fishermen in their pursuit of chinooks and silversides were of large enough mesh to per mit the steelheads to pass through them in their up-stream progress. Holding the opinion that commercial fishermen . would ignore any law that would prohibit them from ne't ' ting for steelheads, sportsmen in iill parts Of western Ore , gon have long demanded the abolishment of the taking of all classes of fish with nets. The recommendation of the game commission fnay be regarded as a compromise. The sieelhead is really the only fish that the sportsmen do not wish the commercial men to' take. As ldng as that fish is left to the anglers, there will probably be no further com plaint from the sportsman. If the commercial fishermen persist, hovvever, in taking them in violation of the expect ed law, they will evoke a renewal of the agitation against thenl and perhaps bring about a situation they would not relish. - , P RUNE ICKIN'S By BERT G, BATES NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN. Nation Wide attention has been attracted by a lady, Mrs. Freedmani wife of a Methodist minister, who has en tered Nol-thwestern University at the age of 77, and is do ing it "to keep from getting rusty." While she at that elder ly period is applying her mind to wisdom, a lot of folks around 20 and 30 think they know enough now. About two fhirds of out people go round and round in little grooves, jf you ask them to take up some line shpwing originality, they remark, "I never did that." Their progress has abso . lutely stopped. Go ahead people are never satisfied to do just the same thing over and over again, but they demand a chance to expand and try something new. They are not .satisfied unless each New Year's day brings the conscious ness that they have learned much dilring the 12 months previous. ' . i o ' ' Senator B. L. Eddy thinks the Oregon educational sys tem can be better supervised by one body of individuals than by three and that, the system itself is in urgent need of con siderable revision. On both scores many will agree with him. However, news from Salem indicates that he is going to have some opposition. Even a partial victory for Sena tor Eddy's bill will be greatly to his credit. One step for ward toward centralization of school supervision and an ptiier toward stripping the curricula of non-essentials is bcaiiid to meet 'with general public approval and start the needed reform at a gradual pace in the direction of the goal iset by Mr. Eddy and which he has so zealously labored to attain for several years. RipplingRhqmGS nason HUMAN STUFF. Most men admire J. Topham Tinner, who owns the big department store; they say he is a four time winner, his methods hustlers should adore. He started in obscure and needy, he started at the bottom runir: but "1 he was prompt, alert and sneedv. and cuiick- ly to the top he sprung. Where others failed he has succeeded, where scores went broke ho made his wad; and now his light est word is heeded, and men are proud to gain his nod. Where others hesitate and fuller, he takes his course, all unafraid; his credit's like the famed Gibraltar, his fame's secure; his fortune's made.

The window washer says, "By thunder, it's snd to see good men go wrong; the boss Will soon bo trampled under by rival merchants, keen and strong. He's leaving all important buying to whippersnap pefs he has hired; a man can see the business dying, and pretty soon we'll all be fired. I've giveh hints, but he won't listen, he goes to some great auto race, and scorns the briny tears that glisten upon my sad and haggard face." The old gray wf.tchmail, Peg-leg Jerry, remarks, "The good old days of yore! Ah, then, my friends, my heart was merry, as 1 went toiling through the store. For then the boss was keep ing cases on all that happened day by day; but now he's off to motor races, or sailing boats around the bay." .The boss, he rests on silken couches, but would his slumber be as sweet, if he could hear the basement grouches invoking Mike and alsd Pete?

FOR WETS WRITER CLAIMS : Hdiior News-Heview: Will you give sjmce to call at I tentlon lo the fact that the so coll ' ed success of Iho wets In many of ! Ilio elections is really a dry vie i tory. All the election has prov ed is that New York state. Chica- go, Illinois and San Francisco re main wet, but with reduced 1 chances of influencing national leg islation. Missouri, California.

Bren j nan for the senate. He askei for votes on his personal promise to give the people wine an:l heer and j was defeated by more tl an nine I hundred thousand dry votes cast i against lilin. I Illinois had a useless referendum j which attracted 5OO.UU0 wet votes ; to about 300,000 dry votes, with .lnore than 700,000 drys failing to vote at all. ! The country elected 35 senalois, ! all dry hut nine; and of the 43". j members of the house 290 have dry ; leconls. Massachusetts elected a ; bone dry governor and New YoiVs I senaionai election is a tremen dous liow to near sighted republi cans who wanted to pledge the G. O. P. to tho wets. In tho dry soulh and dry middle west election results will tighten state and community dry laws. The only real wet victory is the repeal of the stato liquor lawa In Mon tana, liootleggeis and moonshin ers may now operate in Montana without interference by the police, and the nation now has the spect acle of a stale without a penalty even for selling liquor to minors. . Let the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment take lull responsibility for the results: Has It ever occurred to you that the wets during the past few years have had an enoimous advantage? Law breaking and arguments against prohibition have constitut ed news and got widest circulation. Because there is nover anything spectacular about goodness, even the best stories mbout the dry movement (proofs of prohibition benefits and Informative material that every voter should at least have the opportunity to read) all this lias been heavily blue pencil led when printed at all. Once wet stories appear in print, wet claqucrs have called the pub lic's attention to this newspaper Bluff as concrete evidence of' the failure of prohibition. For the most part, the drys have made little attempt to answer. This, I think, is a mistaken policy. Many people believe what they read and it is only wisdom to point constantly voiced by the wets. Take the favorite sliitement made by many wets "there is more liquor drunk now than be fore prohibition.'1 That is not so. Irving Fisher, a Yale professor who has made a scientifically ac curate study of the matter reports "that not one-sixth as much liquor is being made or duink. Before prohibition 250.000 saloons were open and a half million saloon keep ers tried to get market for their goods, unhindered by tile govern ment." Now the only dispensers are bootleggers and they are out laws, gradually being caught and punished. Another favorite argument is "that prohibition "causes crime." Not at all! It is the revolver, a tool of crime, coupled with tho auto mobile and the failure of the courts to punish crime, that causes crime. It is perfectly .easy to answer wet propaganda. All you have to do Is tell the truth about prohibi tion. That effectively . answers every wet argument. Verv trulv vours, SIRS. A. H. FEItGUSON. A NEW COMPLAINT i Last year I had a few complaints about chapped feet and legs, this year I have dozens and dozens, .ijrts are shorter, and stockings thinner, so, 1 suppose, more people sutler from cnapped legs. And. waiit to knew wnat to do about it! The only thing Is to treat the legs like the hands. If they chap, you rub them with a lotfon or a cream, lJ that softftis the skin iMid ali is well again. If your legs chap-wash them with luke warm water and an oily soup like castile -never use a Btrong soap on the body during cold weather, keep (lie skin us oily a? possible or us is uutural. Dry and then rub in honey almond lotion, glycerine and rose water, or a good quality vanishing cream. The best way is to spread the cream thickly on the palms of the hands, and then rub ihe legs from the . knees down, working the cream well into the skin. Rub until the skin has taken it up. Hub over the insteps and around the heels, for the heels chap even in warm weather, and tho best way to keep them soft is to rub them full of cream. You must be sure your cream is greaseless, otherwise either your stockings of your bed clothes will be stained. Get a good quality, or the skin will sting after It has been used. Don't put on your stockings for some minutes after you have used the cream, it takes a little time for the skin to absorb it. If you do this whenever your legs seem rough, you'll bo saved a hit of discomfort during tho win ter. A chapped skin, when exposed to cold, becomes dry and itchy and finally raw and -sore. You know what happens to your hands or yc lips; the same thing, only worse, will happen to your legs. And by the way, your heels will look Oard and ugly -and the skin i.-come dirty and gnji' just from shoe pressure; keep them with cream if this happens. soft A. M. R. Dark circles about the eyes come from some internal dis- order, and if they persist the doc , tor should be consulted. A condi tion that Is temporary will often ' yield very quickly if you rest or take tonic and build youjselt up. s I Mrs. It. V. I am glad the toni(7 'is helping your hair. Massage the j fat off under your chin and after I each time you do this rub with a ! small piece of ice. An exercise for reducing the chin is achieved by throwing the head' far back be tween the shoulders and then go through a chewing- motion until you have fully exercised all the chin and throat muscles. Follow the exercise or massage with ice or very cold water. You may be too stout all over - and a general ' reduction will- improve your figure, . in which -case, your abdomen will not be so full, neith er will your feet be so broals they are now. i Tomorrow The Pedicure. i tie Letup a A-KinKmart BARE WOODS AND WINDOWS i TOMORROW'S MENU Breakfast Left-Ovor Prunes Cereal Scrambled Eggs Toast Coffee Luncheon, Peanut Butter Soup Wholewheat Bread Jelly Celery Tea Dinner Baked Tuna Dish Baked roLatoes Peas Steamed l'ruit Pudding 1 Jriard Sauce Coftee How ia your bed? FREEZE TAKES TOLL IN TRANSCAUCASIA (As.eoolatifl Press I.rasrd Wire) TIKIJS, Soviet Republic of Cieor Km. Jan. lX l wo villages in Hie Amiorosk district of southern Os seiia are reported to have been completely buried by gigantic snott'ulides. Dispatches say only five victims have been recovered thus far. (Avalanches are reported to have obliterated an entire village in the Kuthu district of southern Osswia early this month, with heavy loss of life. In the Okonaky district Fnowslides destroyed more than 300 peasant homes.) In years past it has been the custom to curtain all windows and use "tidies" to cover all wood sur faces such as, table-tops, bureau tops, and desk-tops. Today we' are working away from these curtains and coverings, we see the beauty in leaded glass panes and gleam ing polished wood unadorned. in the case of the in-swinging casement window, for instance, curtaining often seems superflu ous. We can shir "glass curtains" onto rods fastened at lop and bot tom of sash, and we can hang overdrapes at either side of the case as with any other kind of window; but how exposed we feel when the window is open and the curtains are found to be of no earthly good in shielding! So, we decide, it is better to leave the windows completely Uncurtained. Indeed, it is often most effective, especially wiien the ia-swinging window has beautiful leaded glass panes or any small panes. In Eng lland (on my trip there, several years ago) I noticed that it was Jtlie custom to dispense with glass t curtains on these casement win dows, although they frequently used side draperies -as decoration and shade. Hut not only casement windows may be left uncurtained today. A week ago I called .upon a friend who lives in the country. She has bought an old farmhouse which is very small ana. which has-very lit tle windows all over the house. When she tried to use glass-curtains she found that her rooms were too dark to be cheerful. So she decided to use nothing at any window in the house except a strip of cretonne at either side (on the wood casement, not ;over the window)' and a ruffled balance of the same material across the toi of the sash (also placed complete ly on the wood, so as not -. to ob scure one bit of light). Large win dows would doubtless look bare with such a decoration, but in her tiny rooms, with their small win dows, the effect is charming. Not haying, near neighbors to peer into her rooms through the bare glass, she feels no lack of privacy. Yet at night she 'can pull down her rol ler shades if she pleases. 1 I also like the new idea that a beautiful table top requires no cov ering. Ornaments stood upon it which might scratch can have a tiny mat placed beneath them. If the wood is not perfectly polished however, a runner or cloth is bet ter. Tomorrovv Recipes from Readers.

The whole of Transcaucasia is experiencing the bitterest wee.ther for years, with an unprecedented snowfall. "Wide spread damage has been done.
