COUNCIL MEETS
Matters of Importance
Receive Attention
All members were present at
the regular meeting of the city
council Tuesday evening, with
Mayor Muck presiding.
Attorney Perry C. Stroud, rep
resenting tho contractors on the
Pittsburg street improvement,
asked that the contractors bo re
lieved of fulfilling their contract
on the grounds of inexperience,
lack of equipment and inability
to complete the work. After
discussing the matter to some
extent, it was decided to hold
the matter over for another
week before taking decisive ac
tion. Mrs. Tufts was relieved of
further payment on her Burling
ton street property owing to the
fact that the waiver petition had
been Bigncd by her son, who had
no authority to do so.
H. M. Waldref gave notifica
tion of the fact that ho intended
' to protest his street, assessment
on Tyler street for tho reason
that it exceeded tho fifty per
cent limit.
On motion of Councilman Cook
tho city treasurer was directed
to proceed to collect delinquent
strcot assessments by advertis
ing saloof tho property involved.
Tho following arc lights were
ordered installed: One at corner
of Olmypin and Newton streets;
one at corner of Banks and Bu
chanan streets; one at corner of
Reno and Edison streets; one at
corner of Hayes and Alma streets,
and ono on North Ivanhoe street
between Fcssondcn and Trum
bull streets. Attorney Thad T.
Parkor, representing several sa
Joon keepers, asked that Ordi
nance G3fj bo amended. It pro
vides that saloon keepers enter
into a contract of six months
duration to operate saloons at a
rate of 1200 per year. The amend
ment provides that tho rato be
reduced to $800 per year to con
form with the liquor license fee
obtaining in tho City of Port
land, since a majority vote had
been secured by both cities in
favor of merging. Mr. Parker
contended that all contracts
with tho city of St. Johns would
bo carried out by tho city of
Portland, and ho said ho boliov
cd ty only fair and just that the
saloon keepers receive tho bene
fit of tho lower rate after merg
ing had been accomplished. The
proposition was held over for
one week for deeper considera
tion. Tho improvement of Ivanhoe
street between Philadelphia and
Catlin streets was accepted.
The engineer stated that the
engineer of tho Port of Portland
Commission and one of the Com
mission had gone over tho prop
osition of tho proposed extension
of the Cooperago roadway with
him, and had outlined, tho road
way as thoy desired it to be.
Ho stated that Mr. Stearns ask
ed $500 for tho ground to bo ta
ken from his property, and this
together with tho cost of tho
roadway would probably total
$170Q, Upon suggestion of Sec
retary Knowles of the Commer
cial Club, it was decided that
the engineer make a survey and
estimate of cost of construction
of same. Councilman Martin
and Engineer Burson were also
directed to meet with the Port
of Portland Commission and se
cure a document conveying as
surance that the $2500 donation
agreed upon by tho Commission
upon completion of the roadway
would be forthcoming.
Upon motion of Councilman
Perrino it was made mandatory
upon the chief of police to look
after the disposal of the city
wood supply on the Gatton tract,
although Councilman Bonham
offered his services as caretaker
and salesman. The majority of
the council decided it was a duty
that should be assumed by the
chief of police.
CouncilmaijJPerrine suggested
that the Censorship Commission
appoint a board of censorship as
per provision of the censorship
ordinance which was" recently
sustained by a vote of the peo
ple. Mayor Muck, chairman of
the Commission, stated that he
would instruct the recorder to
calj a meeting of the Commis
sion for such purpose.
An ordinance assessing the
cost of improving Tyler street
between Dawson and fessenaen
streets was passed unanimously.

Dress and Character
The following interesting pa
per was prepared and read by
Miss Mabel Rundall at tho W. C.
T. U. Mother's meeting. Sub
ject: Is Dress the Index of
Character:
Is dress the index of charac
ter? Undoubtedly; as our every act
and possession is an index of our
character. Wo cannot eat or
sleep, sit or stand, speak or
smile, without bulletining our
chnrncter.
"Wo put our whole life," says
Emerson, "into every act.
Human character does evermore
publish itself. It will not bo
concealed. Men imagine that
they communicate their virtue
or vice only bv overt nctions.and
do not see that virtue or vice
emit a breath overy moment."
It docs not follow, however.
that wo can all complacently set
ourselves up as judges of our
neighbors. It is not tho evidence
which is lacking, but the judg
merit with which to read the ev
idence. Few, indeed, of us have
tho imagination, tho wisdom,
and tho discrimination with
which to judge others from any
outward evidence whatever.
What wo know of tho lives of
even our closest friends is so in
completeso apart from our own
experience that wo are never
justified in making snap esti
mates of character.
Especially is this true in tho
complicated state of society in
which wo are living today. Tho
economic conditions aro such
that a great majority of our peo
plo aro not free to livo their
own lives sincerely. Harassed
by tho burdens of poverty or of
riches, hemmed in by narrow
ing and brutal conventions.their
lives arc warped into shapes
sadly different from tho ones
they would show under natural
conditions; neither their dress,
their work nor their amuse
ments arc truo expressions of
their own individualities.
But while it is well for us to
linvo a clear conception of what
sano living conditions would bo,
and to put our best efforts into
the attainment of those condi
tions for all people, yet wo can
not wait for ideal conditions to
make, our own personal solution
of tho problems of living among
them tho dress problem.
Lifo cannot bo postponed.
Whilo excusing our neighbor's
failures and follies by tho know
ledge of tho hard necessities
which oppress them, let us hold
ourselves sternly to tho realiza
tion that it is under existing
conditions, not wished-for ones,
that wo must work out our own
salvation show of what sort of
stuff wo aro made Tho person
who overrides conditions in his
own lifo is the most useful of so
cial servants. He puts hope into
tho heart of tho world. For ho
has realized that for which all
society labors and schemes; he
proves our dreams aro not in
vain, one woman who adopts
for herself a rational standard of
dress will do more toward solv
ing tho dress problem for society
than will all the discussion of
tho subject in all tho clubs of
tho land. It is living the life
that counts.
Tho phase of the question, then
which most nearly concerns us
in individuals is not how can we
judge the character of our neigh
bor by her c othes but what type
of character is revealed by our
own manner of dressing and if
the evidence is not what we
would wish, where lies tho blamo
with . tho character or with
the dress. For the thing works
both ways; character forms hab
its and habits transform char
acter. Our character decides
our dress habits, but so also will
our dress-habits have their in
fluence on our character.
Herein lies food for thought.
Mothers havo more to answer
for than they dream when they
permit their daughters to adopt
vulgar and unlovely fashions.
Tho most innocent and modest
of young girls is apt at some
time to be seized with a desire
to ape the latest striking fad and
just because she is so innocent
and so immature, she does not
in the least know the dangers to
her modesty in so doing. Th.e
mother does know, and it is
near a criminal weakness which
allows the girl to becrnne the
victim of her own whim. The
great pity of the half dressed
and over ornamented appearance
of many of the sweetest faced
school girls, is that the appear
ance will not stay an appearance.
Inevitably the false ideals work
inward and come to the surface
in hardened faces and glances.
Old or young, we cannot do the
unlovely thing without becom
ing unlovely.
Tho first point to bo recogniz
ed in approaching the dress pro
blem is tho serious worth of the
subject. It is what Ida Tarbell
calls one of "those great every
day matters on which tho moral
and physical well being of soci
ety rests; one of those matters
which, rightly understood, fill
the everyday lifo with big mean
ings." It is right that women
should consider the question of
their dress ono of moment. It
is far from being an unimnort
ant detail, and no one need bo
shamed to admit hor concern in
it. But here, as everywhere in
life, tho law of proportion must
oo oueyea. uress is an import.'
ant. but not ono of the most im
1 I 1 f - - ! 1
portunt things in life. More
fundamental matters must not
be sacrificed to it.
In order to insure this wo
must have a clear understand
incr of what are the most funda
mental things in our lives. No
one can hone to live a well bal
anccd life who has not thought
out with some degree of care a
standard of values and decided
which things arc to her of para
mount, and which of lessor im
portance. No ono can do this
for us. Wo aro top prono to
sluggishly accept the standards
which lie easiest at hand in our
own family, our set, our church,
without making certain that
theso aro the standards which
will enable us to bo truo to our
own best selves. Daily, to each
ono of us there como unforsccn
crises, trivial-seeming enough at
the moment, but calling for
quick decisions in questions of
proportion. One or tho other oi
two interests must be sacrificed
to some degree to the other and
no ttmo to think it over. If we
cannot fall back in such moments
to a well-determined vnluatlon
of theso interests to lifo ns a
whole, wo will each time yield
to the one which clamors loud
est at tho instant, and our lifo
will become n wavering will-o -thewisp
of good intentions and
poor conclusions. Lack of pro
portion leads to distortion,
thence to tho tragedy ot mis
shapen lives of all degrees of
ugliness nnd futility.
Attention to dress at present is
carried to a point whore it in
volves all classes in extravagant
expenditures of time and money.
Many women, through a perver
ted idea of tho necessities of
dress for themselves or
daughters, are stinting them
selves and their families of
things which would mnko of
downright physical comfort and,
intellectual and moral develop
ment. No money for good books,
beautiful pictures, tho best
drama and music, adequate va
cations, nrtistic and comfortable
homo furnishings, no money for
tho social and religious causes
in which wo believe but fash
ionable clothes we must have!
But. here, as always, the person
who violates tho law of Propor
tion defeats her own ends. Over
much devotion to dress leads to
a self-conscious or a vacuous
expression and to a lack of re
servo in the clothing, which de
stroys the very attractiveness
which is so striven alter.

HIGH SCHOOL
Incidents of High School
Interestingly Told
The students were uncommon
ly surprised on Thursday morn
ing when the Faculty announced
that the School Board had grant
ed a half-holiday in addition to
tho two holidays promised last
week.
The Seniors have returned to
High School after the Rose Fes
tival holidays wearing a preoccu
pied look. For with worries of
Senior exams and of final prepa
rations for Commencement, they
nre much too busy to be interest
ed in the humdrum life of school.
Last Saturday morning, seven
teen of the Uppercloss men avail
ed themselves of a second op
portunity to visit tho city and
county courts. As the greater
part of tho morning was to bo
spent in inspecting the various
courts, Saturday was chosen ns
tho best time, as the cases re
sulting from tho revelry of the
night before were numerous.
Tho party visited tho city and
county jails as well as tho courts.
The "Old White Log"witncs8
ed another delightful high school
pnrty last Tuesday evening,
when tho Seniors spirited the
Juniors nnd Faculty away on a
measure picnic. Tlio early part
of tho evening was spent in re
newing an acquaintance with
long forgotten school gomes.
When every ono was worn out
bv the fro ic. tho party gathered
around the huge bonfire and en
gaged in that ever popular occu
pation of roasting wefnies. Tho
Seniors seemed to havo a good
idea of their guests' oppotitcs
for atcr in tho evening, after
more games, ico cream and cake
wcro served, followed by a sup
ply of marshmnllow81-for toast
ing. Toward tho woo Bma'
hours' tho company smothered
tholr bonfiro and wended their
wny homeward thru tho woods.
Tho Faculty will entertain tho
Senior Class on n launch party
on Friday evening, June 18th.
The Latin pupils of tho High
School wcro invited to attend a
Latin i) ay "Tho Roman School"
given by tho Lincoln High pu
pils. A goodly number of stu
dents took ndvantogo of tho op
portunity, being oxcuBcd tho
last period. Tho play was inter
esting, giving tho happenings of
a school day in Romo, including
tho c ass recitations. At tho
opening of tho day, the roll was
called introducing such distin
guished characters as "Gaius Ju
lius Caesar" and "Marcus Tul
lius Cicero." Then followed a
lesson in Latin grammar and
tho recitation, in Latin, of such
well known poems as "Twinkle,
Twinkle. Little Star" and
"Three Wise Men of Gotham"
and other llttlo rhymes. Tho
Elay was made more interesting
y such humorous events as the
tardv entrance nnd chastisement
of'puer piger" (lazy boy) and
of a visitor to tho school who
recited a comic poem in mixed
Latin and English.
After tho n ay there was an
exhibition showing tho many
advantages of the study of Lat
in.
An exhibition of the work done
by the manual training, domes
tic science and art classes dur
ing the last year will bo held in
tho Hich School building Thurs-
day and Friday of this week.
Tho building will bo open to tho
public both afternoons and even
ings. Probably ono of tho most
attractive features will be the
newly furnished dining room
which will be open to inspection
for the first time. All plans have
been completed, the furniture,
dishes and other necessaries
have been purchased, and all
that is left to do is to arrange
them. Ono of the unused class
rooms back of the auditorium
and directly above the cooking
room will be remodeled for this
use. A dumb waiter will bo in
stalled to convey articles from
the kitchen below to the room
above.
At nresent t a the plan of the
High School girls to make the
room as attractive as possible by
arranging tho table for a meal.
Of course the delicacies thus dis
played will be for inspection not
sampling.
The schedule of thelongdread
ed examinations has been an
nounced as beginning on Mon
day and following the schedule
of the recitation periods.

Franz Joseph
When the work of the great
lawgiver of Israel was finished,
as the story runs from the
heights of Pisgah he was given
a view of the promised land to
ward which for forty years he
had been struggling, but was
never to reach. From his cradle
in the bullrushesup to manhood;
through tho years in which ho
acquired all tho wisdom of the
Egyptians; then his call to tho
leadership of an enslaved peo
ple; his buffctings with kings
and priests; the plagues, the
sorrows, tho tragedy of tho final
exit; the wanderings in the wil
dernoss for two score years; the
splendor and terror of Sinai; the
marvelous code under which men
wcro, when advanced enough, to
leurn the necessity of a govern
ment Of law and the imperative
need of proper sanitation; tho
trials; tho triumphs through
which he had wrought out an
immortal famo for himself; this
was the picture that shone be
hind him when he climbed Pis
gah, to be given, before his
eyes were to finally close, a vis
ion of tho land which ho had
dreamed of for his people thru
tho watches of half a century.
Reading that magnificent dra
ma one's mind involuntarily
turns to n history of our own
day. Was there over a drama
with more sombre and trngic
tints thnn the life of Franz Jo
seph of Austria has been?
Given an empire to rule, there
were doubtless thousands of the
world's rulers and the scions of
royal houses who envied him
when he ascended tho throne,
but could there bo a Pisgah for
him to climb from tho crest of
which ho was to sco what the
future of his country was to be;
would not his prayer be, "If it
is to bo (ib sorrowful and dark
and lonely ns my life has been,
spare mo from Bceing it."
He stands today liko a lonely
oak in a dead forest. Tho hurri
canes of four score years have
beat upon it; forest fires havo
consumed surrounding trees and
blasted its own limbs; tho cy
clones havo swept every bird
that nested in its branches away;
the frosts of Borrow havo with
ered its heart; its scant foliage
is shriveled and no longer is fit
for it a crown- it seems to no
longer havo an excuse for stand
ing except that it is too proud
nnd bravo to fall.
His beautiful empress assassi
nated; tho first rightful heir to
tho throno murdered or u Biii
cido; tho second heir and his
lovely wife assassinated; his
brother who hoped to bo an em
peror nnd to mnko a great nnme
as the redeemer of a distracted
country captured and shot and
his lovely empress left a hopeless
lunatic for whom no merciful
death seems waiting; a disastrous
war with France, another with
Prussia; years of fierce dlssen
tions in his own dominions and
now involved in a war that
threatens the very existence of
his empire; what history in all
tho world is a parallel of his?
Often prostrntcd by fearful
Illness, more thnn onco reported
dead: the splendor of his sur
roundings a mockery; his people
dying by tens of thousands to
support his tottering throno; ono
would think thnt his prayer by
day and by night would be, not
for a vision of a Land of Prom
ise, but for tho rest of that sleep
which Is not vexed by dreams or
any fear of an awakening,

A Fixture Hint
Three years ago I tried to help
my sister select a hat. Wo went
to half the stores in Portland.
She tried on at least 100 before
finding one that suited. I didn't
appreciate that method at ail
too much traveling, bother and
hit or miss principle. That
evening I started thinking it
over. Said to myself, were I a
woman and wanted a hat I would
go to a good milliner, tell her
what I wanted to pay, wear tho
dress I wanted to wear with the
hat, and have her design me one
a creation to fit me, and me
alone, my beauty, my manner
isms, my individuality; in short,
just mo. That carried another
chain of thought. If hats, why
not electric fixtures?
Furnishings in tho homo are
very important. Hurmonious
colors, good selection of furni
ture nnd a nice blending of lines
mean a great deal, and a cheer
ful home means a cheerful life.
But after having a room proper
ly furnished you can verv easilv
ruin tho harmony of tho whole
by n poor selection of fixtures.
Now for tho last three years I
have been studying everything
that would havo a relation to
fixture design, architecture pe
riods of furniture, color match
ing, principle of design, shape,
rhythm, sketching.nndall things
thnt help mo design nnd mnko
tho proper fixtures for your
home. I nm not done, never ex
pect to be, but think I am fairly
proficient nnd ready to try.
Today I want you to call mo to
that homo of yours and let mo
sketch you n suggestion. It
wont obligate you, and it might
help. Fixturo prices are mighty
low now, and if you do buy you
will got $1.25 valuo for every
dollar you spend.
