According to some exhibitors and many spectators the Portland event is now- practically equal in importance with tho International at Chicago.

When they agree about a matter of public sentiment, they may be right. In a recent newspaper article the genial Will gives a frank account of a straight, nian-to-nian talk he had recently with the sardonic Arthur, which among many other things touched on prohibition. "He bore out my repealed state ment," says Will, "that the sentiment of the country is DRY. That's the voting sentiment." Tho voting sentiment, by the way, is what rules in this country. Probably any intelligent observer who started out without my basis, and had adequate facilities to sound public opin ioit on this subject, and made good use of them, would come to the same conclusion. l!ut it isn't really necessary to can vass the whole country personally. The politicians do thai for the rest of us. And congress, which lives by voting sen-! liment, was, is and will probably remain DRY, ! ! There has been a good deal of nonsense indulged in by Wets who have insisted that prohibition was put over by a 'minority of the voters and is sustained by a minority. The facts do not bear that out. Most of the territorial area of the country and most of the population was dry before federal prohibition was adopted. Its adoption merely registered a majority opinion at the lime otherwise it could not have occurred. There is no ! convincing evidence that the voting majority of the country has changed its mind about prohibition in principle, and even the sporadic evidence of a desire to modify the Volstead act which is not vital like the Kighteenth amendment is not very convincing.

Oct. 29, M-'C Between You And Me By Klliott Metcalf A tremendous wallop has been laid upon the solar plex us of masculinity that is, it seems that way upon the first glance. After- cool judgment one. however, does not feel that the masculine side of us has been Injured. Frilly, silky, smooth uud shiny "undies," soft us the "breath of the honeysuckle," as dear Dorothy Dix would pen, have come to tempt man. Those tempting "undies" are the sheerest of girlish underwear, the sweet young thing for the man of fashion. They ure made of lisle and silk. The latest "teddy" for monsieur Is reported to unite comfort, elegance and common-sense. Whether or not Tacoma'a masculine hordes will follow the style of the youthful and aged of New York and hop Into those soft garments of pale and vivid hues, we enn not predict, hut they are here, can be seen und If desired, can be worn. Personally, the cotton have long satisfied but that's nei ther here nor there. Our per sonal opinion in regard to the latest "undies" means noth ing to you. The : reason we becume concerned Is that we thought we saw the passing of masculinity, or the first skip In the direction of lady like desires. That would mean- the passing of sports writing. Cut straight and low at the neckline, supported by shoul der straps like un evening gown and shaped to the fig-, ure loosely like a chemise, the garment is guaranteed to fit smoothly under the tight est suit coat, The number of buttons is minimized with one ut the top and three at the side. For the rest It Is a replica of the teddy, being cut short with out the legs of the traditional underwear. tep-Ins for MEN uv&w y the Si ittitittim , ofUntUTtrtor V j fiSSSS SSS3B J .
