Jose Collins, presented by William
Fox in the splendid feature picture
"A Woman's Honor," is as English as
can be; 'but she has the American
girl's idea of independence in style.
Her natural beauty and chic make her
an ideal fashion model. As soon as it
is announced that Miss Collins has
been encaged as the star of a musical
comedy, modistes from all over the
countrv send reouests bv wire or sdcc
ial delivery mail requesting the honor i quirements, he said, that although it
Press.) Interesting information as
to' what has been accomplished in pre
paring the Dutch army for modern
warfare in the 21 months during
which it has now been on a war foot
ing was contained in a statement pre
sented to Parliament by the Minister
of War, Major-General N. Bosboom,
when he asked for a fresh appropria
tion of $40,000,000 to cover mobiliza
tion expenses.
Even a partial demobilization is
still out of the question, according to
the War Minister.
Answering the question whether
the Dutch Army was adequately pre
pared for war and whether the ma-J
terial and equipment fulfill modern re
of clothing her in her new part. They
know that she will be a greater ad
vertisement that space bought in
newspapers or magazines.
Up to the outbreak of world war
Miss Collins was forced to wear Paris
gowns. Iln vain she besought the
specialty shops to have their own de
signers build her gowns. The answer
was always the same: "Oh, no, Miss
Collins; anyone with your reputation
and standing on the stage cannot af
ford to wear anything but French
frocks."
Made-in-America clothes have been
given much newspaper space here
lately, but Jose Collins can prove that
long before 1914 she made desperate
tout futile attempts to make them the
vogue. ,
ARCADE
"Silks
. Marguerite ('lark Exquisite in
and satins.
There comes a time in life of every
girl when she pictures herself a love
ly lady and the object of some dash
ing, bold knight's adoration.
"Silks and Satins," the delightfully
charming romance in which little Mar
guerite Clark is being starred by the
Famous Players Film company on the
Paramount program, is a reflection of
every youthful dream that was ever
dreamed. For in this thrilling breath
from another day, which is the fea
ture at the Arcade theatre, Friday
and Saturday, dainty little Miss Clark
is transported to the romantic days of
the past through the medium of an
old diary which she finds on the eve of
her intended wedding to Felix Breton.
In support of Miss Clark, who plays
Felicite in both parts of the play,
there appear such well known play
ers as Thomas Holding, Vernon Steel,
Clarence Handysides, W. A. Williams
and Fayette Perry. J. Searle Dawley
is the director.
Dutch Army Prepared.
The Hague, Netherlands, June 30.
(Correspondence of the Associated
was inadvisable to make public in
formation which might benefit a pos
sible enemy, there was no doubt the
Dutch soldiers could face the prospect
of war with confidence.
(In August, 1914, the material and
equipment left much to be desired.
The workshops of the kingdom were
not ready for mass production. These
shops have been enlarged and 100 fac
tories have been equipped for the pro
duction of war material. There is a
great supply of hand grenades, in the
use of which the troops have been
trained. Gas masks, steel helmets,
modern engineering material, trench
shields, barbed wire, and protective
material have been made in large
quantities.
'Searchlights for coast defense, land
positions, and field troops have been
increased. Automobile stations for
wireless telegraphy have been formed.
The Army has at its disposal a great
number of motor lorries for the trans
port of troops and wounded. The
number of aeroplanes has been large
ly increased. These are provided with
bombs, machine guns, and quickfirers,
and, as regards speed and raising
power, they have ibeen brought up to
the standard prevailing abroad. Pri
vate industry has co-operated in the
building of new aeroplanes, although
Holland remains dependent on foreign
countries for motors.
As regards the medical service, the
reserve hospital accommodation has
been increased by arrangements with
150 civilian nursing institutions.
Moreover, an institute of military
dentists has been established. Vac
cination against smallpox, typhus and
meningitis is being carried out.
An unfavorable comment on the re
lations between commanders and men
in the Dutch army is the fact, now
made known, that many thousands of
soldiers persisted in going on fur
lough at Easter, when leave was re
fused them owing to the special cir
cumstances that made the position
dangerous for Holland. Severe pun
ishment has been meted out to the
men concerned. Incidentally the Min
ister mentioned that there were 52
suicides in the army at the beginning
of mobilization.
Baker, Aug. 23. Victor Basche and
George Molntyre sustained minor
bruises, the roadster in which they
were riding was completely lost from
sight in an irrigation ditch and a fox
terrier, the property of Glenn Shock
ley, was mysteriously lost shortly af
ter midnight this morning, when the
car left the road at a sharp turn one
and a half miles northeast of the city.
The car lost a front wheel and was
otherwise badly smashed up.
The machine was being driven at
high speed and failed to answer in
stantly to the turn of the wheel as a
sharp crook in the road was reached.
Plunging straight ahead, it hurdled
the six foot irrigation ditch, knocked
down part of the fence beyond and
catapulted Mr. Mclntyre over the
wire into a hay field. Its momentum
decreased the car settled gracefully
back to the bottom oi the diU.h.
Mr. Basche, accompanied by Ed
Reynolds started work shortly before
noon, raising the car by the use of a
derrick.
Removing Death Trap.
To endeavor to effect an agreement
with the O.-W. R. & N. company in
the matter of eliminating the death
trap grade crossings at Weatherby
and Lime, the Baker county court will
meet here with Division Superintend
ent Bollons of La Grande Wednesday,
September 6, Commissioner W. J.
Welch announced this morning, short
ly before the adjournment of the
special two-day session of the court.
Commissioners Welch and Ritter are
unwilling to sign a contract with the
railroad until the return of County
Judge Messick, and it is hoped that
he will be back from San Francisco in
time for the regular session "of court.
The proposition made by the rail
road for eliminating two crossings
each at Lime and Weatherby, involves
an even division of expense between
railroad and county and the offer to
use all waste dirt taken out in extend
ing a passing track at the two points.
The commissioners, on the other
hand, believe that the railroad should
bear more than half the expense, de
claring that the road was in existence
before the track was laid. They ask
that all filling should be done by the
railroad company.
"The railroad officials are anxious
to come to a settlement in this mat
ter," Mr. Welch said, "and the county
court is just as anxious, so that we
believe an agreement will be reached
in September."

The
Garage of Satisfactory Service
The idda that certain prececal
work done by boys and girls on the
farms should count as credits in the
agricultural courses of the irural
elementary and high schools is
growing rapidly in popularity
among educators. The basis for
this idea is the belief that the farm
may and should become the logical
laboratory for testing out and put
ting into practice much that is
taught in the schools, and that the
schools by giving credit for home
work can and should encourage
boys and girls to make profits for
themselves or to become more di
rectly helpful to their families. Ed
ucators, however, find some diffi
culty in defining just what work
that the boy does on the farm
should receive an educational credit
and how many credits .should be al
lotted for the different kinds of
work which ireally help the boy to
master progressive methods.
To assist the superintendents of
schools and teachers, the specialists
in agricultural education in the
States Relations Service have re
cently published Department Bulle
tin 385, 'School Credit for Home
Practice in Agriculture. This bul
letin which may be had free by ed
ucators as long as the department's
supply lasts, devotes a number of
pages to tables and examples show
ing the nature of school credit pro
jects and the amount of credit to
be granted. It is recognized, how
ever, that real cooperation on the
part of the parent is essential, and
the author thus defines the part the
parent must play in any plan fur
making school and farm work close
together in the interests of agricul
tural education.
The parent should agree: (1) To
permit the pupil to use specified
land, animals, and equipment either
as a temporary owner or as a tenant
so far as the needs of the project are
concerned; (2) to grant the pupil
the time needed for the work and to
verify and vouch for the time record;
(3) to instruct the pupil in the neces
sary manipulation so far as practic
able; (4) to allow the pupil the pro
fits derived from his own labor and
management. The last point is not
always feasible, particularly where
the pupil takes up one phase of the

main business of the farm such as the
weighing and testing of milk for a
dairy herd.
The parent must at least give an
unbiased voucher of the time and
expense record, and a statement
that the project work was all done
by the pupil. In the absence of an
advisory committee or an inspector,
the parent is the judge as to when the
pupil has accomplishd a task success
fully.
Where the pupil's time is much
needed by the parent in regular,
home duties it may be well to ad
vise that the pupil take over some
part of that home work as a project.
This will insure the cooperation of
the parents, although the "menage
rial" income may not come to the
pupil.
The school should not only give
credit or work for which the pupil
receives pay, but should consider the
relative income or profit as one im
portant factor in determining the
school rank given on the project.
To insure success it will be very
desirable to have a memorandum of
agreement signed by all parties be
fore the project begins, a report in
full from the pupils, and a voucher
from the parent at the end.
