Your Old Jewelry
- Made New
YOU have an old cameo,
perhaps, that has lain foi
years unworn and almost
forgotten; or it may be old
fashioned ear rings, a
brooch or necklace.
Don't let them lie there
any longer. The cameo can
be effectively remounted
and nothing is more popular
just now. Quite likely we
can also show you how your
other unworn trinkets can
be transformed at small ex
pense into attractive jewel
ry in the prevailing style.
Now that the holiday
rush is over is the very best
time. Designs and estimates
upon request.

SOCIAL HAPPENINGS
Take
Road Hog, $150 and Costs
Last summer Dr. Hugh Mount and
F. L. Schneider of Portland, had an
auto collision, the doctor claiming the
Portland driver was a road hog and
would not give half the highway.
Mount brought action in the justice
court and Schneider was fined $50
and then he brought a damage ac
tion in the circuit court which the
Portland man settled for $100 and
costs. The moral is give Dr. Mount
half the highway and don't get abu
sive and gay.
A Good Movement to Aid
Mrs. Cora B. Findley of Eugene,

a building to be used as a farm home
for orphans and needy children to be
erected in the near future in Lane
County.
This Educational League is com
posed of women engaged in educa
tional philanthropic work, with men
and women as contributors.
The League is raising funds to es-!
tablish and maintain a farm home
and school for orphans, the land up
on which the proposed building will
be erected, having been offered as a
free gift for this purpose. There will
be taught to the children at the home
the studies of agriculture, carpentry,
domestic woik, etc. The children will
be divided into -groups of twelve
each, the boys to have a man and
wife in charge, and each group of
girls will be mothered by a kind and
wise matron.
Many in this city contributed to
this good cause and it is the re
quest of the League that those who
have not already been asked that do
nations will be greatly appreciated
by forwarding the same to Women's
Educational Leagus in care of the
United States Bank of Eugene.
Mrs. Findley had for some time
before taking up her residence at
Eugene, been employed by the gov
ernment at Washington, D. C, and is
taken up with the philanthropic work
which she is doing at the .present
time.

CASTOR I A
Elks Annual Ball was the Social
Event of Season
One of the most brilliant social
events that has taken place in Ore
con City was the grand ball at
Busch's-hall on Monday evening giv
en under the auspices of 1 he Order
of Elks, which was attended by about
400 people, many of whom were from
out-of-town.
Never before was Busch's hall
more attractively decorated than on
this occasion, much credit being due
to H. L. Kelly Jr., Harry Young and
H. E. Williams, whose untiring efforts
made this event the great success it
proved to be.
American nags, ranging from var
ious sizes, were arranged about the
hall. At the rear was an immense
flag draped artistically, while on each
side were smaller ones as also along
each side of the hall. The large
pillars were completely hidden in the
color of the order. At an appointed
hour, and as Mrs. Imogene Harding
Brodie, of Portland, sang lmpressive-
"Star Spangled Banner," these
were unfurled and all dancers joined
in singing this patriotic song. The
artistic decorations were complete
with those of the balcony, where an
orchestra of eight pieces from Port
land, was screened by American flags,
and palms. The stairway leading to
the balcony was also decorated in
gs. In the center or the room was
large elk arranged in a forest of
firs, the horns of which were studded
with miniature electric lights, the
colors of which represented the col
ors of the order, and the electraliers
on each side of the building were
shaded in purple.
During the evening many of the
popular and new dances were enjoy
ed, and at 11 o'clock, Dr. T. L. Per
kins, of Portland, past exalted ruler
of the Portland order, gave the toast
of "To Our Absent Brothers," during
the toast the lights of the room were
lowered, making it most impressive.
Before the departure of the guests
"Auld Lang Syne" was sung.
Many beautiful gowns were in evi
dence, and with these and the deco
rations of the room, made it a most
pleasing sight to behold, and one
long to be remembered by those at
tending. The entertainment and decorating
committee was composed of H. L.
Kelly Jr., Harry E. Young and H. E.
Williams; while the floor committee
was composed of T. P. Randall, W.
H. Howell, J. B. Bond, J. S. Mann
ing, Jerry Baty of Canby; B. T. Mc
Bain, George Swafford, Lloyd Riches,
C. G. Cathcart, R. C. Parker and G.

WOMEN BID DOWN
Lady Writer's Opinion of Women
Who Take Men's Places
'Tis a well known fact, that as
fast as woman enters what is con
sidered man's field of action, one of
two things happens either wages
are lowered or hours increased.
Women bid down on the job in
order to secure positions (which they
may, or may not need) thus throw
ing out men upon whom, perhaps,
families are depending, or, if the men
are not thrown out of employment,
wages are lowered; in either case,
causing hardships.
Is this right? It seems to me, if
a woman is capable, and wishes to do
man's work, she should stand upon
her capabilities, and demand the same
wage and hours. Certainly, if she is
competent, she should have the same
chance, without any bidding down.
I wonder if there is any one who
believes it right to offer a woman less
jf she be fully qualified, or that she
has any right to lower wages or
lengthen hours when they have al
ready been established.
We will have an opportunity to
voice our sentiments on May 15 next,
for we have a woman aspiring for the
distinction of becoming a county of
ficer. What is the first thing Bhe does?
Adopts that same eld scheme that
women almost invariably resort to,
bids down on the job.
Not that the addition of one hour
to an office day is any great thing in
itself, but the sake of the principle
involved, it should meet with our
most hearty disapproval.
