up and held in place by tiny clusters

colored; developed in the sheerest of
nets, chiffons, gauzes and wonderfully
patterned Oriental fabrics, designed
with visions of Houris and dreamy
harem beauties in mind. One of
the many effective uses of the scarf
is with the sleeveless gown; it may
be draped in most becoming ways. A
charming example of this was brought
to my attention the other evening.
The dress was of canary colored taf
feta made with an eight gored skirt,
in which alternating gores were of the
canary taffeta and satin of a delicate
blue. Each gore was rounded at the
lower edge and finished with a nar
row quilling of chiffon matching the
taffeta bodice. Over this striking
skirt hung a tunic of canary colored
chiffon, while a wonderfully tinted
scarf, with blended tones of canary
color and blue, was draped around the
shoulders in a wing-like arrangement
giving the effect of sleeves when the
arms were raised. The ends were
wound loosely around the neck, quite
as one would use the regular throw
scarf of heavier material. It was ex
ceedingly practical and pleased the
eyes of those who appreciate dainti
ness and grace.
A Roomy Coat a Necessity
In our quest for evening necessities
the all all enveloping coat must not bo
forgotten. Those with large, roomy
sleeves, or no sleeves at all, are the
most practical for the delicate trim
mings and fabrics they are to cover.
Velvet, velours, and broadcloths are
of course the standard materials, prac
tical and rich in effect; but many
beautifully colored, novelty velvets,
showing a strong Chinese influence in
their exquisite embroideries, may be
found. Egyptian novelties also, never
failing in beauty, offer themselves for
coat and wrap of maid and matron
this season.

UP TO THE BOY
"Cruel Parent" Cannot Force Lad
Into Military Service
MILWAUKEE, WIS., Dec. 16: Is
there a law in this land of the free
that will permit a worn-out father to
force his minor son into the United
States Marine Corps against that
son's will ?
Otis Tinsdale, of Paekwaukee, says
there is, and Sergeant Ansell M.
Stowe, in charge of the local United
States .Marine Corps recruiting sta
tion is equally positive that there is
nothing on the statute books covering
a case of that sort.
Tinsdale literally dragged his nine
teen year old son to the Milwaukee
recruiting station and demanded that
the boy be enlisted. But the young
Tinsdale tearfully protested at what
he seemed to think was a "high-hand'
ed outrage" and in Sergeant Stowe he
found a sympathetic friend.
"I can't enlist the boy unless he is
willing to join,' Stowe told the
father.
"What's the boy got to do with it
anyway? I'm his father and if I say
he's got to enlist you've got to take
him and that's all there is to it. He's
a worthless hound on the farm and I
want you to take him and make a man
of him," the elder Tinsdale replied.
But Sergeant Stowe refused to en
list the boy, and Otis Tinsdale left the
recruiting office, vowing to return
when he had consulted his attorney,

Baking Powder Biscuits
Light as a Feather
By Mrs. Janet McKenzU Hill, Editor of
tht Boston Cooking School Magazine
Baking Powder Biscuits made by this
recipe are so far ahead of ordinary ba
king powder biscuits that, if once tried,
you will never use any other recipe.
Try it the next time you run short of
bread. Save this recipe. 29
C Baking1 Powder Biscuits
Three cups flour; to cup short
ening; 3 level teaspoonfuls K C Baking
Pouic'er; about I cup milk or water; I
teaspoonful salt.
Sift three times, the flour, salt and
baking powder. Work into the flour the
shortening, using lard or butter for
shortening. Then mix to a very soft
dough with the milk. The softer the
biscuit enters the oven, the lighter it
comes out. Never knead baking powder
biscuits; press the dough into shape and
roll lightly. Cut in small shapes and
bake on a sheet or very shallow pan in
a hot oven. In placing biscuits in the
pans place well apart, not allowing edges
to touch. Small biscuits are better than
large ones. Large biscuits do not have
the proper amount of time to raise and
bake.

Aside From Gown and Wrap
One must not neglect footwear,
slippers, stockings and the "under
mysteries" of the evening frock.
Satin slippers in the delicate shade of
the gown are first in favor, black pat
ent leather with jeweled buckles, and
black satin slippers come next for
those a bit more practically inclined.
The stockings generally match the
frock in tone, or are of white.
The old fashioned pantalette, scorn
ed and laughed at since the days of
hoops and Daguerreotypes, are among
the very daintiest and most feminine
of evening accessories. They are of
satin, chiffon or net, frilled, or fur-
trimmed, and one merely catches a
fleeting glimpse of them now and
then, and thinks of them only as a
very effective part of the frock.
If one chooses well materials and
accessories, there is little danger of
a jarring note in the costume; these
jarring notes, it is said to say, more
often appear in afternoon and street
costumes than in evening gowns.

MOLASSES FOR STEERS.
When Properly Fed It Is a Valuable
Adjunct to the Ration.
As for feeding molasses in connec
tion with corn fodder, 1 heartily ap
prove of that, writes a correspondent
of the Orange Judd Farmer. The
Pennsylvania station last winter found
that molasses Increased the gains and
finish of steers more rapidly during the
first fifty-six days of feeding than
when corn was fed only. This experi
ment clearly showed that molasses
could be used with good results. The
Pennsylvania station found that feed
ing as much as five pounds a day to

blocky in shape and compact, with
short legs. They are poor milkers,
but since they are bred only for
beef their supporters say this does
not matter. In size average indi
viduals follow closely the Here

. Shorthorns. They are fair grazers,
though probably not as good as
the Herefords. The beef of the
Angus brings the highest price.
The steer shown Is an Angus of
pure breeding.
each steer made this feeding worth
while. One advantage of molasses Is
that It Increases appetite and when
sprinkled over roughage feeds in
creases consumption by making them
more palatable.
In some tests conducted at the Texas
station molasses was found to have an
even higher feeding value than corn
where it replaces not more than one
half of the corn in the ration. When
fed In moderated quantities it does not
Induce scouring. Some cattle feeders
restrict the use of molusses to about
a quart a day to a steer, mixing it with
feed principally to render the feed
more palatable, thus inducing greater
consumption of other feeds. Even
though the feeding value is not figured
In, this effect on digestion makes con
sideration of molasses worth while as
a feature in cattle feeding. When si
lage is not available molasses is un
questionably a mighty good feed for
cattle for any class of stock, in fact

Light Rations Will Keep Nonworkers
In Good Flesh.
It has been proved by many experi

It is wise to take special care with
the stallion during winter mouths. A
light grain ration and plenty of exer
cise prevent him from getting over
fat, a condition which usually results
In diminished fertility the next breed
ing season.
In foal mares especially should be
exercised dully. Overfat. unexercised
mares usually show CO per cent great
er mortality and less ruggedness In
their foals.
Keep the colts growlug. An outside
shed with a good run is the best place
for the colts except in very cold weath
er. Keep them growlug with good
grain, hay and roots. The size aud
quality of bone in the future horse
may be largely determined by the way
in which he is developed during the
first winter.

FLOOD OUTLOOK GOOD
Peril Now and Again in the Spring
Is Matter for Deep Thought j
' The weather nice subject to talk
about is piling up grief for Oregon.
JNot only is it raining wiui muic per
sistency than usual hereabouts, but
every time it rains down here where
the weather is mild it snows up in
the mountains. Already there is
mores now in the higher altitudes at
this time of the year than there has
been in December for a long time, and
the real winter mountain storms have
not begun.
The rain in the lower levels has
passed the point of absorption by the
ground, and the continued precipita
tion now simply runs off into the
streams. As a result the rivers and
creeks emptying into the Willamette
are practically at flood stage, much
low ground is submerged, and con
tinuance of the rain will bring heavy
damage. In many sections of the val
ley already roads have been washed
out to a more or less serious degree;
and more damage is threatened.
If the excessive rain continues,
bringing streams and rivers over their
banks early in the new year, the
chances for a disastrous spring are
excellent when the heavy snows on
the mountains begin to melt and add
their great burden of water to the
already choked Btreams. And it is
with an eye on this snow that all per
ture trouble. Cold weather from now
sons living along water courses are
now making preparations to meet fu
ture trouble. Cold weather from now
on, such as was "enjoyed'' last year,
would be the best thing for the low
lying country, for that would enable
the surface water t orun off, and the
streams to regain normal size before
the snow floods come down.
But with the indications of a mild
winter, water and snow conditions are
such that alert minds everywhere are
trying to devise ways of preventing
trouble in the spring.
SHAKESPEARE LOSES OUT
Namesake of Bard of Avon Not Want
ed in United State's Marine Corps
ROCHESTER, N. Y., Dee. 16: Wil
liam Shakespeare, aged 39 years, no
home, discovered there was nothing in
a name when he applied for enlist
ment at the local recruiting office of
the United States Marine Corps.
"Prithee, kind sir, I beg a little
nourishment at the indulgent hands of
Uncle Sam, e'en though I must en
list. For three long and weary days
have I trod yon stretch of railroad
track and I am grievously hungry,"
he told Sergeant George S. Fynmore,
local recruiter for Marines.
"Avaunt caitiff,'' Fynmore replied,
easily drifting . into blankest verse.
"The United States Marine Corps' is
no place for thee. We would have
sleek rounded men that sleep o'
nights and work by day. Thou ap
pearest to me as a glorified string
bean, or yet, a disappointed clothes
pole Weighing ninety pounds for thy
six feet of length. Also thou art
Rum's roving .rambler and I am
aweary of your presence. Out upon
thee. Get thee gone."
The would-be recruit with the po
etic "monaeker" refused to leave the
recruiting station, insisting that he
desired to serve his country and be
fed, but, when the alternative of serv
ing Monroe County for thirty days
was brought to his attention, he con
cluded "discretion the better part of
valor," and went away.

Aurora Man Wakes Up in Hospital
and Finds Self a Mayor
J. W. Sadler, of Aurora, went to a
Portland hospital some weeks ago to
have, his annendix removed. When he
came out from under the ether he had
lost one appendix and attained another
nno Th nne he lost was the same
one with which he had entered upon
this life; and the one ne gained was
a little present from his fellow towns
men an appendix in title. When he
went into the hospital .ne was just
Mr. Sadler, and when he recovered
from his operation he was Mayor-
elect Sadler.
Pfinnle in times Dast have accumu
lated scissors, knives, buttons from
oniwnns' coats and other little
things like that in hospitals, but this
is believed to be the first time that a
patient ever accumulaed a mayoralty.
Mr. Sadler was nominated by his
Aurora mends, and for tear ot excit-ino-
him hefore his ODeration the news
of the campaign was kept from him.
After the election last weeK, wnen
his vietory was secure, the news of

FIRE HALL COMPLETED
Milwaukie Now Has Fine "Head
quarters" and Meeting Rooms
Milwaukie's new central fire sta
tion, erected on ground adjoining the
post office, was completed this week,
and adds materially to the appear
ance of the business district of the
thriving city in the northern part of
the county. The fire station houses a
chemical wagon and a hose cart, a3
well as the big alarm bell; and in the
rear quarters have been fitted up for
members of the department.
A hose tower is part of the equip
ment of the building, and the struc
ture is lighted throughout by elec
tricity. This is the second modern
fire house constructed in Milwaukie
this year, the other one being in the
eastern section of the city, near the
Southern Pacific's main line station.
Though Ford is on his way, the
wireless will keep us informed of all
that is happening, so we can still ex
pect to see his name on the front
page where he couldn't buy adver
tising. Out of 19 stories on the front page
of the Oregonian the other day, only
four were even remotely connected
with the European war. What is go
ing to happen?
THE NEWEST
DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY
This is a recent discovery of Doctor
Pierce, who is head of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. Y. Experiments at Doctor Pierce's
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator of urio acid
that can be compared to it. For those
easily recognized symptoms of inflam
mationas backache, scalding urine
and frequent urination, as well as sedi
ment in the urine, or if urio acid in the
blood has caused rheumatism, it is
simply wonderful how surely "Anurio"
acts. The best of results are always
obtained in cases of acute rheumatism
in the joints, in gravel and gout, and
invariably the pains and stiffness which
so frequently and persistently accom
pany the disease rapidly disappear.
Go to your nearest drug store and
simply ask for a 60-cent package of
"Anuric," manufactured by Dr. Pierce,
or Bend 10 cents to Dr. Pierce for a
large trial package. If you suspect
kidney or bladder trouble, send him a
sample oi your water and describe
symptoms. Doctor Pierce's chemist
will examine it, then Dr. Pierce will
report to you, without fee or charge.
Note: French scientists affirm that
"Anurio" is thirty -seven times more
active than lithia in eliminating urio
acid, and is a harmless but reliable
chemical compound that may be safely
given to children, but should be used
only by grown-ups who actually wish to
restore their kidneys to perfect health,
by conscientiously using one box or
more in extreme cases as "Anurio"
( thanks to Doctor Pierce's achievement)
is by far the most perfect kidney and
bladder corrector obtainable.
