THE FASHIONS
One-piece dresses have come to
stay. In silk, satin, foulard, taffeta,
pongee, Georgette crepe, chiffon,
voile, crepe, in fact, running the en
tire gamut of materials, these dressr
es are spring favorites. Of course,
this type of dress demands a separ
ate coat, for even in summer there
are times when a wrap is necessary.
The velours, duvetyns and other piled
fabrics were so popular for the win
ter that we have for spring and sum
mer similar fabrics, only in a weight
suitable for the weather. Light
weight velours in white, sand color,
gray, and many brighter shades are
particularly appealing for the separ
ate coat. The model illustrated
shows the latest effect in spring coats.
It is developed in sand-colored vel
ours, has the smart barrel or bowling-pin
effect in its wideness at the
hips accentuated by pocket sections".
A wide, soft collar, and cuffs in
gauntlet effect, are other features
which aid in giving this modest style.
For automobiling, this coat might be
successfully developed in one of the
dustproof satins, and will be practi
cal for wearing in the car and quite
stylish when loosened at luncheon or
dinner at the hotel.
Jersey cloth is as popular as ever
and is to be seen in many elaborate
as well as simple suits. Last season
it confined itself to simple modes, but
this season it has branched out into
suits much more elaborate. It is

braided and embroidered most elab
orately. A taupe-colored wool jersey
suit was braided with soutache braid
of the same shade around the bottom
of the coat, on the collar and on wide
pocket-pieces on the skirt. Another
suit was combined with striped satin
which made the collar and the lining,
The latter was a most, important fea
ture of the suit.
The short bolero coats have re
turned to us after an interim of many
years. Sometimes they are combined
with straight, pleated, narrow skirts,
giving a straight so-called Egyptian
silhouette. Some of these skirts the
designers have launched in opposition
to the bowling-pin silhouette. In the
v.
illustration the short jacket has been
combined with a six-gored box-pleat
ed skirt. t
The Youthful Sports Skirts
The new sports clothes show
youthful note, and yet embody that
simplicity which is requisite to make
gay colors practical for every-day
wear. The skirts, gathered or shirr
ed at the waistline, sometimes
straight .hanging, and sometimes
brought in at the ankles to give the
new barrel effect, are made of a wide
variety of materials. Tussur, rajah,
pongee and similar weaves are the
mainstay for the more expensive
skirts, while cotton fabrics, in white
with gay squares, discs, balloon dots,
and in striped effects, may be had at
varying prices. Cretonne which has
had such a vogue for smocks and
trimmings in seasons past is pressed
into use again this season for these
same sport skirts. They are often
made crosswise of the goods so that
the selvage of the cretonne is used
instead of a hem, and the other sel
vage edge makes a heading around
the waist. It seems to make little
difference what the type of cretonne
is, whether it has a Paisley design
or a willow-ware pattern. The very
newest thing for sports skirts, but
not the least expensive, are the skirts
made of ribbon. Wide ribbon is
tewed together, selvage to selvage,
until the width of the skirt is ob
tained. They are gay and joyous in
effect, especially when combined with
the sheerest of summer blouses.
Never has there been a greater
variety of styles for separate blouses
than there is this season. It makes
very little difference what type of
waist you like best; if the sleeves
have the proper look and the collar is
well designed you may be. able to
wear it. The Russian and peplum ef
fects, in Georgette, chiffon, chepe de
Chine und satin are having a wonder
ful vogue, but so are the waists
which come only to the waist and
tuck themselves modestly beneath
the skirt band. A very new mode of
trimming waists of crepe de Chine
is to have collar, cuffs and belt not
of a contrasting but of the same col
ored linen. Organdy waists, are be
ing combined with silk and satin
oveiblouses. A novelty in waists,
and one which is most practical .as
well, is the blouse of fine gingham
for sports. Blouses of this type are
made up in stripes and checks and
remind one v of children's rompers
and play frocks. Sometimes they are
combined with white pique. I saw a
vory pretty pink one recently which
had a white pique vest with the
fronts of the waist cut in scallops
and stitched onto the vest.
Stitching is a most popular mode
of trimming at the present time. It
is used on women's suits and coats,
on dresses and on skirts. On wool
materiuls it is done with a coarse
knitting silk, put either on the bob
bin or the upper part of the machine;
on cotton materials it is done with
mercerized cotton in the same way.
Children's clothes are trimmed with
stitching in varied colors; for in
stance, a blue serge coat had stitch
ing of red and green silk. A very
pretty buff chambray dress had par
allel rows of stitching in blue, brown,
green and pink on th collar and cuffs
and above the hem.
KICKERS FORM TONG
Non-Corns Under "Bill" Logus Have
Merry Time with "Crabbers"
The non-commissioned staff sec
tion of the Third Oregon Infantry,
der the command of Captain William
R. Logus at Vancouver, work chief
ly indoors these days, preparing or
ders, ration and field returns, circu
lars, copying description and assign
ment cards; in short, conducting the
paper work of the regiment. They
are a hard-working bunch and do not
have the advantage of the outdoor
drilling, marching and guard duty
that the other men have. Their work
is pushing the pen and tickling the
typewriter, but their work is none
the less essential and important to the
success of the regiment in the field.
The record of every fighting man
must be most carefully kept right up
to date, including his promotions,
sickness, etc. Their work, being "of
a confining and serious nature, it is
to be expected that there would be
periods of reaction. The non-commissioned
staff of the Third Oregon
includes one regimental Sergeant
Major, E. A. Robbins; three battalion
sergeant-majors, H. P. Vickrey, G
H. Skinner and W. F. Smith, and two
color sergeants, C. A. James and A.
J. Jones.
No matter how good the grub,
how fine the officers, how comfort
able the quarters, there is always one
class of men that quickly develop into
regimental kickers. Nothing satis
fies them. They simply enjoy the
pastime of kicking at everything,
both in particular and in general.
The non-commissioned staff boys,
having listened to all kinds of kicks
from the kickers, hit upon the idea of
corralling the growlers into an organ
ization, which has become known as
the Duck Sing tong.
With thassistance of a certain in
telligent Chinese friend, they drew up
a constitution and by-laws. Their
initiatory ceremonies are solemn and
appalling. Their vows have all the
secret society obligations of the mod
ern fraternal orders backed off the
map.
No man is eligible for membership
until he becomes a confirmed crab, a
pessimistic, persistent and perpetual
kicker. He must show no symptoms
of ever having spells of optimism.
Prospective members are interviewed
by a committee, and if no signs of
optimism or a tendency to be content
with. their surroundings appear, they
are placed on probation and closely
observed during this period.
If during this stated time he is dis
covered to be a constant growler at
the mess, the quarters, the weather'or
the parade grounds, he is then taken
into full membership, but is expelled
in everlasting disgrace the moment
he utters anything pleasant regarding
his condition or surroundings, and
forever blacklisted. The present in
cumbents of the chairs of Duck Sings
are Battalion Sergeant-Major H. P.
Vickrey, Tin Ha Jue Mun Ming But
Jee Jook Jea, or in English, "most il
lustrious kicker in the universe;"
Battalion Sergeant-Major G. H. Skin
ner is the great chief kicker, or the
Tau Ho Di But Jook Jea. Sergeant
Wayde R. Bagnall is the chief kicker
and is known among his brethren as
the Tau Ho But Jook Jea. Battalion
Sergeant-Major W. F. Smith is the
keeper of the rolls, or Shue Gay.
There are also a number of hatch
etmen and gunmen, who are kept ex
ceedingly busy in the tasks assigned
them by lot and who have grown
quite proficient in their duties, the
nature of which are part of the in
violable secrets of the order. From
the number of members of the regi
ment bearing brands upon their hands
in various symbolic Chinese charac
ters, the tong is in a flourishing con
dition. Oregonan.
FLY CAMPAIGN ON
Swatting the Festive Fly Will
be
City's Popular Pastime
The annual "swat the fiy" cam
paign was started here Friday when
Dr. J. W. Norris and Chief of Police
Lee French investigated conditions
about several livery barns and sta
bles in the city.
The result of the search for un
sanitary conditions will be a report
submitted to the city council at its
next meeting, asking that several
places be ordered cleaned up. The
Williams' Bros, transfer barns are
an object of attack in the report.
Once before, officers say, Williams
Bros, were ordered to clean up their
barns and successfully fought the
order.

OPPONENTS JUGGLE FACTS
Counties Outside of Multnomah Re
ceive More Than Contributed
In an effort to turn the voters of
Willamette valley counties against
the road bond bill, C. E. Spence, mas
ter of the grange, is said to be mak
ing the unfounded assertion that none
of the money raised from the bonds
will be expended on roads in the Wil
lamette valley south of Multnomah
county; that all of the money con
tributed by Willamette valley coun
ties in automobile licenses and in tax
es from the quarter mill state road
tax will be required and will be ex
pended in completing the Columbia
river highway.
The plain facts are: 1st. Reliable
engineering estimates secured by the
highway commission agree that $1,
750,000 will complete the Columbia
river highway from Astoria to The
Dalles.
2nd. Multnomah county pays 37
per cent of the state tax and 40 per
cent of the automobile license fees
but under the highway plan embraced
in the road bond bill not one cent of
the money so paid will be expended in
Multnomah county.
3rd. Multnomah county will pay in
automobile fees and state road tax
approximately $2,400,000, which is
more than sufficient to complete the
Columbia river highway and leave a
balance of $650,000 to be applied on
other roads. These figures do not
take into account the amounts that
will be paid by Clatsop, Columbia,
Hood River and Wasco counties,
which will also be available for com
pleting the Columbia river highway.
The amounts paid info the fund by
these counties will further reduce
the amount of Multnomah county's
contribution to the Columbia river
highway and leave a considerably
larger sum than $650,000 to be ap
plied on the Pacific 'highway and oth
er roads contemplated in the road
bond bill.
4th. JNot one cent ot . the money
paid by counties of the state, other
than that contributed by Multnomah,
Clatsop, Hood River, Wasco and Hood
River counties, will be required to
complete the Columbia river high
way and the other roads outside of
the counties enumerated.
5th. In other words, under the $6,
000,000 road bond plan,, Multnomah
county automobile owners and tax
payers will not only pay sufficient
funds to complete the Columbia river
highway but will also contribute to
the fund that will be expended on the
Pacific highway and other roads in
the Willamette valley and in other
sections of the state.
MR. PINCHOT WRITES
Tells Courier That Shortage of Food
May be Nation's Peril
Gifford Pifichot, of Milford, Pike
county, Pennsylvania, who was one
of President Wilson's uncompromis
ing detractors prior to the recent
national election, has sent to the
Courier by special delivery to insure
its arrival and perusal, the following
noteworthy communication. It indi
cates, that when politics and nation
al honor must be considered, honor is
found paramount. Gifford Pinchot
has expressed in his own words the
sentiments of a united nation a
multitude .of patriots:
Milford, Pa., April 26, 1917. Mr.
C. W. Robey, editor Courier: In this
great time, when every citizen must
do his part, the president has made
his chief appeal to the men who live
on the land. He is right in doing so,
for the safety of our country just
now is in the hands of our farmers
What I mean is not merely our safe
ty and the safety of our allies in the
matter of food. I mean that the
safety of the United States against
foreign invasion hangs on the decis
ion of the farmers of the forty-eight
states.
The two great weapons in this war
are arms and starvation. The war
against German arms will be won or
lost in France the war against star
vation will be won or lost in America.
The kaiser cannot whip the French
and English armies and the English
navy while England has food. But it
is still possible that the German sub
marines may be able to keep food
enough from reaching England to
starve her into submission.
If the submarines win, the first
item in the kaiser's terms of peace
will be the English fleet. With the
English fleet in his possession, the
kaiser will be master of the world.
What will happen to us then ? Ev
ery man who stops to think knows the
answer. We shall have money, food,
labor, land everything that is desir
able in the world except the power to
protect what we have. Experts esti
mate that it will take us nine months
to get ready to meet a German army
of even 150,000 men, with modern ar
tillery. Under such circumstances,
would the Germans treat us any bet
ter than they have already treated
Franco and Belgium?
Even if the armies of our allies
should crush the German military
power this summer, before the short
age of food can reach the point of
want, the world would still need vast
quantities of American food. But if
they do not, only one course can make
us safe, and that is to grow food
enough on our farms for ourselves
and our allies, and to put ships
enough on the sea to carry the food,
in spite of the submarines, to the men
who are fighting our fight
If the war lasts beyond this sum
mer, it will be the American fanner
who will win or lose the war, who
will overcome militarism and autocra
cy, or allow them to spread and con
trol the world, ourselves included.
This is no fanciful picture, but so
ber fact. Many a man will make
light of it until he comes to think it
over, but I venture to say that few
will treat it lightly after careful
thought It is no more impossible
than the great war itself appeared to
be, only a few days before it began.
It is true that we can greatly in
crease the available food supply out
of grain now used in making liquors,
and by reducing household waste.

enough. The final decision will still
rest in the hands of the men who
raise our food in the first place.
The clear duty of the nation is to
guarantee the farmers a fair price
for their crops when grown, and a
reasonable supply of labor at harvest.
The clear duty of the farmer is to
raise food enough to win this war for
democracy against kaiserism.
No such responsibility has ever
rested on any class of men since the
world began as rests today on the
farmers of America.
Sincerely yours,
GIFFORD PINCHOT.
GRANGE MEETING DELAYED
Executive Committee Decides That
Duty ia to Attend Crops
By an order of the executive com
mittee of the Oregon State grange,
the 44th annual session of the order,
which was to have been held at As
toria, on May 8 to 11, has been post
poned until June 12 and will be
held at Astoria as planned. The
grange committee believes that the
farmer's first duty is to his crops in
this hour of national stress and has
come to the rescue of the workers of
the fields in a most partiotic manner.
The grangers were to have con
sidered finally the matter of their
stand in regard to the proposed $6,
000,000 road bond issue, but even that
timely subject must be sidetracked
and definitely tabled because it is
more important to have the crops
properly attended to at this time of
the year than it is to gather for con
ventions. The following statement
signed by C. E. Spence, state master,
and the other members of the execu
tive committee, expresses the posi
tion of the grange:
Owing to the lateness of the season
and the necessity , for planting, the
44th session of the state grange has
been postponed to convene on Tues
day, June 12, at Astoria. -
If we should have good weather
during the week including May 8 to
11, it would seriously interfere with
attendance at state grange of the del
egates and visiting members, who
must attend to the planting and sow
ing of their crops.
The shortage of the food and for
age supply in this country as well as
in the whole world, is much more
serious than most people realize, and
it becomes our patriotic duty as pat
rons of husbandry and as farmers to
supply the demand for foodstuffs so
far as possible.
It is further urged that all mem
bers and granges hold special meet
ings on Saturday, May 12, and co
operate with county and district ag
ents of the agricultural college to
make those meetings a success in or
der to insure the greatest production
of necessary food for the mainte
nance of our army and our people.
By order of evecutive committee,
Oregon State Grange. (Signed) C.
E. Spence, C. L. Shaw, B. G. Leedy.
HOW TO SELECT FOODS
How to Tell Whether the Family is
Getting Enough of Right Food
The health and appearance of the
family are a good test of the whole
someness of their diet, according to
the United States department of ag
riculture farmers' bulletin 808, on
how to select foods. If they are
strong, well developed for their ages,
Value

free from ailments, and full of ener
gy and ambition, one may safely say
their food agrees with them. But if
they are listless and ailing, or not as
well developed either physically or
mentally as they should be, and if a
competent physician finds that there
is no special disease to account for
these bad symptoms, a mother may
well ask herself if thefood is right,
and if not, how she can make it so.
If a little too much or too little of one
nutrient is provided at a single meal
or on a single day, a healthy body
does not suffer, because it has ways
of storing such a surplus and of us
ing its stored material in an emer
gency. The danger would come if
the diet taken week in and Week out
always provided too much or too lit
tle of some one nutrient.
Habit and custom help greatly, be
cause they usually are based on what
the experience of generations has
proved is wise and healthful, though,
of course, there are bad habits and
outgrown customs in food as in ev
erything else. Good food habits, it
must be remembered, include more
than cleanliness and order in every
thing that has to do with food and
meals and leisurely ways of eating.
Equally important are a liking for all
kinds of wholesome foods, even if
they have not always been used in
one's home or neighborhood, and eat
ing reasonable amounts, without be
ing either greedy or overdainty. Ev
ery effort should be made to train
children in such good food habits. If
older people have not learned them,
they, too, should try to do so, for
such things are very important not
only to health but also to economy.
JTo refuse to eat some wholesome
dish simply because one is not accus
tomed to it may prevent the use of
some very desirable and economical
food. To fppl that there is any vir
tue in providing more food than is
needed shows poor taste as well as
poor economy."
