MORNING ENTERPRISE. TUESDAY, JASTUABY 16, 1912.
ELKS TO HEAR REPORT
ON PUNS FOR HOME
The Oregon City Lodge of Elks will
hold a "booster meeting" Friday night
The jinks will start at the close of the
regular session of the lodge. It is also
expected that the committee appoint
ed at a recent meeting to have plans
drawn for the new home will report.
The lodge has paid for the lot on
Water street between Fifth and Sixth
streets, and it is the intention to
start work on the home in the near fu
ture.
pointG
for
Mothers
The Home Play Hour.
"Mother, what can I do this after
, noon while you are in the kitchen fix
ing dinner?"
So many mothers are confronted by
this question that the following sug
gestions may satisfactorily answer
your child the next time she confronts
you with such a demand. Try making
vegetable furniture.
In preparing the vegetables give the
.. child a thin slice of potato or carrot or
any vegetable of that description and
allow her to hold it up to the light
She will be amazed and delighted at
the beauties it contains. Show how the
apple sliced horizontally through the
core displays the star, which she will
at once connect with the blossom.
Wonderful sets of furniture may be
constructed from slices of vegetables
nnd match sticks. A piece of carrot
with four match sticks makes a charm
ing table, while two slices of carrot cut
lengthwise may be converted into a
comfortable sofa, the back fastened on
with match sticks and four legs added.
Innumerable other forms will suggest
themselves to the child, and always en
courage originality and inventiveness.
There are many possibilities in a
handful of small grain, such as rice,
hominy or barley, or, best of all, lentils.
If you have them. Spread these out on
the table, and many objects may be
made in mass, such as circles or ap
ples, or any vegetable and fruit These
will then suggest different animal
forms or trees. Another way of using
lentils is to make the shape of the de
sired object by putting one grain next
to another and then filling in the out
line with the rest of the seeds.
Another game growing out of this
one may be played with a piece of
string, not too heavy. First allow the
child to experiment with it and then
suggest laying a circle. One dent in
the outline will make an apple, another
opposite will suggest a butterfly or a
spool, three dents a three leaf clover
and four dents a flower.
This will suggest straightening out
the curves Into points to form a star
or into lines to make a square, or a
small circle with a string is a toy bal
loon or is modified into a kite. Besides
these the outlines of vegetables or
fruits or kitchen utensils are made, not
to mention scrolls and other conven
tional forms.
Until now no mention has been made
of the delights of baking day. Oh, the
joy of a piece of dough and the tin lid
of a baking powder can! What delect
able pies and cakes are made, what
sumptuous feasts are served to dolly!
Swimming Without Water.
The school children of Germany are
taught to swim without the use of
water. It is claimed that the proper
stroke and motions of the arms and
legs are more readily acquired in this
manner than in the water, as is the
more general way of teaching swim
mers. The student is suspended by a
wide belt from on overhead rail, while
the feet are attached to a pair of ropes
running over pulleys and adjustable
to various requirements. The pupils
thus suspended are then taught how
to perform the movements of the
breast stroke until the action becomes
almost Instinctive. The advantage in
teaching these movements in such a
way is that the pupil is not distracted
by the fear of a ducking.
Chewing Gum For Children.
After all the sarcastic comments on
the chewing gum habit It is interest
ing to note in a recent issue of
American Medicine a good word in its
favor. Dr. La Grand Kerr writes
that one of the most trying problems
In infectious diseases of children is to
keep the mouth clean and that many
of the secondary infections which oc
cur as a result of infectious diseases in
childhood occur because the mouth
has not been kept clean. He adds
that children rebel against the cleans
ing process while they are ill, and he
advises the use of chewing gum as
offering the easiest and best relief.
raining Children. .
Obedience, order and cleanliness are
the three most important points to in
still into a child's mind. -When
baby is old enough to under
stand simple nursery rules be should
be taught that rules are made to bo
kept at all times.
Mothers and nurses who are not
skilled in the science of medicines and
children's diseases should never give
drugs to young children without the
advice of a physician.
When the Baby Doesn't Gain.
If a child is delicate and there is a
question of bis not gaining in weight.
he should be weighed frequently.
When he does not gain in weight his
food is not nourishing him properly
and a change should be made.
But if he is healthy and hearty and
shows no signs of wasting there is no
bject in weighing him every week un
less it is for the satisfaction of bi
fond and admiring parents.
A Mending Hint
The best way to reduce mending I?
to guard against it One reason why
children's clothes rip is because th6
seams are sewed with cotton thread.
which is brittle. Any dress which wll
be given hard wear should be made ut
entirely of silk. The sun and watei
rot cotton, but do not affect the silk.
RECEPTION GOWN.
A Superb Velvet
Creation by Worth.
DBffiP BTiCB VELVET WITH ORIENTAL EM
BKOIDERT. Deep blue velvet with oriental em
broidery In shaded blues and blacks
was used for this luxurious gown.
Steel and jet fringe falls from the short
sleeves and lower edge of the tunic.
The decolletage is softened with al
most invisible flesh colored tulle, and
two real lace motifs turn over on the
dark velvet.
A Story of a Scholar.
Theodor Mommsen, the famous his
torian, had not only the appearance,
but the manner, of a scholar. Once
during the half hour's drive from Ber
lin to Charlottenburg the car in which'
the professor rode went badly off the
track. Thi rest of the passengers
alighted, the horses were removed, and
the stranded car was left until hefp
could be found. Mommsen remained,
reading his book. An hour passed, and
the sound of levers and jacks and the
plunging of horses' hoofs aroused him
from his reverie. With no sign of dis
composure he arose from his seat and
went to the door. "Ah," said he, "we
seem to have come to a standstill."
Curiosity.
"Professor." said Mrs. Noozey to the
cranky old professor of archaeology,
"what do you consider the most curi
ous thing you ever saw?"
"Woman unquestionably," he re
plied. Philadelphia Ledger.

K. O. BROWN POSED AS FOOT
BALL PLAYER AFTER
SCRAP WITH KEYES.
After Knockout Brown finish
ed with Bert Keyes in New Ha
ven, Conn., recently he emerged
from the ring
with his right
glim in deep
est mourning.
It was so bad
that Brown in
sisted on cov
ering it with
wadding and a
blind over
that. On the
return trip
Brown squat
ted in an al
most empty
car and start
ed humming
"Die Wacht
am Rhein."
"Pardon me,
young man,"
he heard in a
thin querulous
voice. "Did
you get hit by
a train or an automobile?''
Brown snarled and faced an
inquisitive member of the fe
male species. ,
"Naw," he replied; "I got der
eye playing against Harvard last
Saturday."
"Well, then," came the re
sponse, "if you college youths
insist upon playing football you
deserve what yon get."

SINGLE TAXERS HIT BY STARKWEATHER

BROWN.
WILL O'DAY MAKE GOOD?
If New Manager of Reds Does He Will
Surprise Many.
The signing of Hank O'Day to man
age the Cincinnati team was a gen
uine surprise to every one in baseball.
President Herrmann contended, for
weeks that no one would be able to
guess his selection, and he has won
several hats on the proposition.
O'Day, of course, has had no experi
ence as a manager. He was a pitcher
of some note in years gone and, with
Connie Mack, formed a famous Wash
ington battery in 1887. Since then, or
shortly after that year, he became an
umpire and as such built up a reputa
tion second to none in the game.
But Hank is impulsive and loses his
head easily, and if he makC3 a suc
cess of his new job it will be a
genuine surprise. Strangely enough
Frank Bancroft, who is the business
manager of the Cincinnati club, in a
famous telegram to McGraw last year
insinuated that O'Day was favoring
wrong, they may have been honest in
their opinions; but there is another
character who figures at about this
time, the paid hirelings, the Hessians,
having no natural interest, who came
to this country to fight against the
patriots for pay.
History repeats and we now have
the Whig, the Tory and the Hessian.
Jefferson says: "Governments de
rive their just powers from the con
sent of the governed." We would add
all initiative measures should come
up from the naturally interested par
ties i. . the citizens of Oregon.
In this state we have two legisla
tures; one is smaller, composed of
ninety members which meets at Sa
lem every two years, and the other,
the larger, is composed of all the vot
ers of Oregon. Under the initiative
and referendum this larger legislature
composed of all the voters may make
and unmake laws just as effectually
as the smaller legislature at Salem.
Now if a member of this smaller
legislature takes pay for his vote or
influence on legislation, he is a crim
inal before the law, and from a moral
standpoint a man is equally a criminal
if he takes pay for his vote, or in
fluence in this larger legislature of
the people.
Now let us hope that these disciples
of the Fels fund, who prostitute their
high birth right of American citizen
ship, and sell their political souls for
a mess of pottage, may be so thour
oughly rubbed on the political wash
board that all taint of naptha may be
eradicated; and that they may find
themselves floating serenely about in
the suds of their own agitation
And let us hope that they ma(y
emerge therefrom 99 4-10 per cent
pure.

FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
ENTERPRISE APPRECIATED.
V -'at,
Fall River Mills, Cal., Jan. 12, 1912.
To the Editor: The Enterprise is
a welcomed weekly visitor in our
home, along with three other Oregon
papers and is read with interest. Al
though we are in sunny California, our
thoughts drift homeward to Oregon.
We are very comfortably located in
this village about 100 inhabitans,
thirty-five miles from any railroad in
a beautiful valley surrounded by
mountains at the junction of Fall
River and the Pitt river where there
is a fall of sixty feet, making it noted
for its natural and abundance of wa
ter power. The valley is about twenty
miles square. The principal industry
is hay and stock raising. Plenty of
fruit and vegetables are raised to sup
ply demands with a surplus going to
waist. The climate is healthy, the
air invigorating, an altitude of 3,200
feet, with Mount Shasta near. The
land is productive but should be
irrigated to make farming profitable.
Railroad communication is badly need
ed. The old-fashioned stage coach is
the only means of getting in and out
We are reading with interest the
discussion going on in your paper on
the single tax move. Keep it up and
let the people become educated on
this and other political lines. From
our present view of thought on this
subject we hope to not lose our fran
chise in Oregon and be there next Nov
ember to vote against the single tax.
We are at present small land owners,
but on the small capital we have in
business are willing to share our bur
den of taxation.
- Sunny California is good but old
web-foot Oregon is better.
With the best of regards to all our
Oregon friends,

HANK O'DAY, NEW MANAGES OF THE BEDS.
the Chicago Cubs in his decisions, and
it is doubtful whether This pair will
be able to get along smoothly.
Baseball men attending the meetings
In New York recently were surprised
by the selection. They could not un
derstand why Herrmann should go out
of the field of players and experienced
men to select a man to handle his
team. Incidentally the . signing of
O'Day to manage is a serious loss to
the league, for he was undoubtedly a
competent umpire. This is the second
instance in the history of the game
where a major league umpire has be
come a manager. Tim Hurst left the
indicator to manage the St. Louis
Browns some years ago, but made a
dismal failure of the venture. O'Day
has been umpiring for many years,
and It remains to be seen whether he
will know as much about the game
from another angle and show ability
to handle ball players.
BOWL FOR WORLD'S TITLE.
International Tournament to Be Held
In Chicago Next March.
For the first time in their history
bowlers will play for the world's title
at the international tournament which

Back of the project Is Charles Co
mlskey, president of the Chicago Amer
ican League Baseball club. According
to the "Old Roman." over 1,200 bowl
ers will compete for individual honors.
The American Bowling congress as
yet has not given its sanction to allow
entrants from England, France and
Germany playing in the championships,

Rosemary.
Rosemary, the charming name of the
plant that's for remembrance, is not
only frequently found In folklorian leg
end, but has been esteemed also from
the very dawn of history for its "es
sential oil," its "sweet water" and its
fragrant dried leaves and branches. In
the middle period o? English history
It was always a special favorite in gar
dens and was used for strewing upon
the floors of dwellings and upon case
ments and also, of course, for garden
embellishment London Spectator.-.
