PATRIOTIC PROCLAMATION V Governor Withy combe Sets Week for Sober Consideration of Duty Whereas, Loyalty and patriotism are virtues which every true Ameri can is proud to possess and glad to express, and . Whereas, it is plainly evident that the existing military resources of our government are totally inadequate for the proper protection of the country, and Whereas, we, a3 a nation, are op posed to the maintenance of a large standing army and infinitely prefer voluntary military service to compul sory organization, and Whereas, our best opportunity for voluntary patriotic service is offered by the national guard, which today stands sorely in need of upbuilding if it is adequately to meet the require ments which may be placed upon it, and Whereas, I beliew-that a spirit of patriotism not surpassed in fervor or intensity at any time in our nation al history lives in the hearts of the people of this great state of Oregon, which only awaits the call for an expression, Now, Therefore, I, James Withy combe, as governor of 'the state of Oregon, suggest that the need of the national guard for recruits offers worthy opportunity for the display of practical patriotism, and I urge young men to fulfill the obligations of our national citizensship by rallying to the flag, thus setting, an example worthy of our best traditions and in dicative of their certain continuance; And I further proclaim the week beginning March 25, 1917, as "Pat riotic Week" for the state, to be de voted to the sober consideration of present day prtriotism and urge that all officers of the Oregon National Guard make special effort to recruit their companies to full capacity by the end of that time. In testimony whereof I have here unto set my hand and caused the seal of the state of Oregon to be hereunto affixed this 21st day of March, 1917. JAMES WITHYCOMBE, Governor. THE FASHIONS There will be' two fashionable sil houettes this spring. The slim sil houette, with its straight, clinging lines will continue to be first in fa vor, as it has been all through the winter, but the new barrel skirt will give women a chance to indulge in the bouffant effect, which will, doubtless, be welcomed by those who have com plained of being tired of the eternal straight line. True to its name, the new silhou ette is in the outline of a barrel, bulg ing at the hips and drawn in at the waist and ankles. There are many ways of accomplishing this puffiness over the hips. One is by the clever draping of the material at the waist line somewhat after the fashion of the "peg-top" skirts that were used some years ago. This type of the barrel skirt is shown in the sketch, which illustrates a dress of figured pongee with sleeves and belt of plain pongee in natural color. The skirt again very fashionable in Paris and New York. Solid black and white checked materials with rather large checks are considered smart for coats, both for the long separate coats and for shorter .coats to be worn with white serge skirts. The Importance of Ribbons Ribbons are coming in for a great deal of prominence this season. They are not used only for small access ories such as girdles and collars, but have become much more important and have been employed for parasols and hats. Very wide striped ribbons V p Ife.

This silhouette has also been named the "bowling-pin;" and looking at the whole silhouette from shoulder to an kles, and not merely from the waist downward, the name is indeed most appropriate. A good many spring coats have taken on the lines of the new silhou ette, showing that this effect is not restricted to dresses only. A very smart model Is fashioned with a deep band at the lower part, the fulness of the upper part gradually losing itself when it reaches the band. Machine stitching furnishes the finish of this coat, which is shown in the second sketch. The material is soft, spring weight velours, one of the favored spring fabrics. Satins and Variety of Silks for Spring Perhaps the most generally fa vored of all fabrics for spring will be satin. ' It is to be used for one piece dresses, for suits, and for sep arate coats. This" material will also be in demand for evening gowns and afternoon dresses, and for these its popularity will be shared by char euse, which is very closely related to satin. The suits and dresses of sat in will be decorated with braiding and embroidery, and much of the embroid ery, will carry out the Oriental col orings which are distinctly in vogue this season. There is a decided predominance of silks for spring. Among the silks for suits, poplin, rajah and tussur are strongly in evidence, and many novel ideas are noticed in the developments of these materials. On a suit of gold-colored silk jersey, black vel vet was used for the collar and for a band at the lower edge of the coat. Some suits of rajah silk are trimmed with stenciling in attractive color combinations. The stenciling is done on the fronts of the coats or only on the belts, just enough to furnish some contrast. This is one of the very newest trimming ideas. In spite of the great vogue for colors in all the brightest hues and in all manner of combinations, a great deal of black and white is used. When cleverly handled, this combina tion is always attractive, and it is cqmbining three or more harmonizing colors have been used very effectively to make parasols and to cover the en tire crown and top of the brim of light-weight straw hats for sports wear. Matching parasols, hats and handbags made of ribbon or the pret ty figured silks, are seen over and over again. Narrow grosgrain ribbon is em ployed in rows, one overlapping the other, to cover the crowns and brims of some hats.. Sometimes two colors are used alternately. The brim of a white panama hat was covered in this way with old gold and dark green rib bon, only the crown remaining in view to tell that the hat was a panama. An idea for remodelling your last year's panama, you will, not doubt, think. Another panama was faced with black velvet under the brim and the crown draped with black and white silk with a tassel placed at one side. OFFERS COAL TO U. S. Will Give Free Use of Mine Proper ties During Possible War A medical association, of which Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y., is presi dent, has placed at the disposal of President Wilson 25,000 acres of coal land at Pierceton. Ala., for the dura tion of the war.

Ole Larsen, who died at the hospi tal here Monday, was buried Wednes day morning in Mountain View cem etery.

Ernest Dye Word has been received at Clacka mas announcing the sad death of Ernest Dye of Rochester, N.Y., at the home of his parents at West Bloom field, N. Y., February 23. Deceased was a victim of typhoid pneumonia, taking ill December 8 and suffering two relapses. Earnest Dye was a na tive of Oregon and was born at Rock Creek, near Clackamas 22 years ago. He spent his early boyhood at the family home, attending the Stone pub lic schools, where he endeared himself to his school mates. Five years ago the family removed to New York state and Earnest took up work in Rochester and at the time of taking ill was qualifying as a religious lec turer. He was a member of Plym outh church of Rochester and a mem ber of the order of Masons of the same place. Besides his grieving par ents, Mr. and Mrs. George Dye, he leaves a sister, Mrs. Ruth Briggs, two brothers, Ramond C. and Arthur H., and many friends in Now York and Oregon, who mourn his untimely death. SMOKE EATERS QUIT was vacated by an occasional cigar; Charles Sievers is thinner than he was a week ago and more charmingly beautiful than ever; Chief Blanch ard well, Mrs. Blanchard says he's a regular grouch; and Thomas A. Burke he can't get more fat on and stay in the same clothes is consid ering applying for a space in "Who's Who," since he has proved absolutely that he has a will of his own. MILL NEARLY READY Concrete Work Done and Woolen Mill May Open in About a Month The forms for the concrete work on the new additions to the Oregon City Woolen mills were torn down on Sat urday and work started immediately upon the finishing of the large plant. The walls stand intact and the roof has been completed, leaving the wood work and the interior finishing to be completed. According to President A. R. Jac obs, of the woolen mill company, the new addition will be in operation about the middle of May, and at that time an additional force of workers will be employed to handle the added machinery and equipment which will practically double the facilities of the industry. Five All Handsome and Clever Throw Filthy Weed Away Forever A little law and order is good for the best of men. It has developed a fine show of will power ina quintet of sterling young bloods in Oregon City. It happened in this way; Charles Sievers, understudy to George C. Brownell and little brother to the justice of the peace, had to pay for cigars for himself and four worthy mates on the ship of joy every time they met. He balked, declared a boy cott on the cigar makers' union. Then Judge John N. Sievers, whose middle name is reputed to be Nathaniel, came to the support of his little broth er as the good judge should. He calmly kicked at having his office per meated with cigar smoke more than ten times a day for the crew of the joy ship met frequently when Charles had the price of the stogies. "We'll just show 'em we don't have to smoke! We'll quit," announced the crew. "We have will power, we don't have to smoke." The result of this convincing line of argument is that George Hall, gas man ( vocal and cooking) ; Charles Sievers, embryonic barrister; Thomas A. Burke, known to fame as the son-in-law of Harvey A. Cross; Chief of Police L. A. Blanch ard, gentleman of leisure, and D. E. Frost, constable, deputy sheriff, ju venile officer and public speaker, have severed diplomatic relations with La dy Nicotine. They haven't smoked in public this week and if the sup ply of will power nolds out they will not smoke again until . George Hall has gained five pounds since he swore off and he already weighted 300 pounds. Jack Frost has talked twice as much as he ever did to fill in the gap in his face that "Can't Afford to Paint." The man who says that, forgets that painting pro perly done is economy, and the fact is he can't afford NOT to paint. How often you require to paint is largely depend ent upon the paint you use.
