E begin 1912 where we left off 1911 a winner.
Last year the public performances of Studehalcer rr
were the talk of Motordom. Flanders "20" swept the
boards in races, reliability runs, hill climbs. E-M-F "30"
took first three places in the Tiedeman Trophy classic at
Savannah.
This year we begin with the same convincing success.
In the first sanctioned meeting of the year-Montgomery,
Ala. Studebaker Cars won eight out of nine events. Both
E-M-F "30" and Flanders "20" defeated much larger cars
and the prize event of the meeting-50 miles Free-for-AlI
was won by Odom's E-M-F- "30" in the phenomenal time of
52.37. For racing on a soft mile track it is doubtful if this
performance has ever been surpassed.
And this meeting proves once more what no man can
doubt, that into Studebaker cars, E-M-F "30" and Flanders
"20,', go a wealth of skillful design and unexcelled materials
which make them speedy and reliable. Wherever you go you
will find these cars giving steady satisfaction.
Don't be misled by novelties or specious promises. Get
a car which has proven itself. Buy a Studebaker E-M-F
"3" or a Flanders "20" and you will be satisfied. ,

AUTO WOULD GIVE
LODGE GOOD START
(Continued from page 1)
there is actual work to do, interest
does not flag and die out. If the
"Howdy, Paps" of Oregon City be
come interested in the automobile
contest, the enthusiasm and ambit
ion for the local lodge will increase
in leaps.
Suppose, for instance, that there
are about fifty prospective members
signed up. Suppose again that only
half of these, or twenty-five men,
take an active interest in . the auto
mobile contest. Think what such a
number, working as a unit, could do
to win the prize. It would be mere
child's play for them.
Another- benefit that would accrue
from their entrance into the contest
must not be overlooked That is, the
advertising that the order would get.
Everybody in Clackamas County is
talking about the contest so the mat
erial result is that if the Mooses en
tered the contest, everybody would
be talking about them.
The contest is still in its infancy.
Miss McCord; and Sheahan seem to
be favorites against the field, but it
is anybody's money yet. Hard work
and perserverance can do wonders.

CORRESPONDENCE
REDLAND.
It is reported that Mr. and Mrs.
Hollingsworth have bought property
in Gladstone and will move there
soon. Redlandites will miss them bad
ly as they have been great workers
in every good cause.
Mr. Polehus has rented his farm
and moved to Tenino, Wash., as they
are interested in a sawmill there.
The whooping cough is raging in
Redland and Is an unwelcome visitor.
Frank Schwartz had the misfortune
to sprain his ankle while working in
the mill. He is getting along nicely.
Ethel Funk has been dangerously
111 but is improving.
Mrs. Shaw, the supervisor, was vis
iting" the Evergreen school this week.
If all directors were as anxious and
willing to carry out what they were
asked to as they are at Evergreen,
there would not be so much kicking
done, and the people who are making
the most noise are those who will not
turn their hands to do a thing for
their school unless they are paid. Can
the superintendent or supervisor help
you unless you do what you have nev
er done before. Get busy with your
hands and not with your mouths.
Some school grounds are a fright and
some people think that if a school
house has a coat of paint on the out
side that i3 all that is necessary. It
doesn't make any difference how it
looks on the, inside -or who teaches,
and they never go to see how the
school is progressing;' they are too
busy or do not care and because some
one is hired and paid to iia this work
they are up in arms over it because
they may have to pay 50 cents more
taxes. Let us not be so selfish and
narrow-minded.

points
for
Mothers
Length of Children's Skirts.
Mothers are often perplexed to know
Just how long to make their young
children's and girl's skirts.
For the tot of one year the little
Bkirt must be cut to the top of the tiny
shoes. Any longer than this, would in
terfere with progress when the little
one learns to walk.
At eighteen months, when the' sturdy
tot is running about, let the hem come
halfway between the shoe tops and the
knee. When the third milestone has
been passed let the skirt be shortened
so as just to show the bend of the
knee and keep this length until the
little lady is six years old.
The average child between the ages
of seven and twelve years should have
her dresses cut long enough to cover
the knee. -
At thirteen add anjnch or two to the
length of the dress and should she
continue to develop drop the skirt
length to a point halfway between the
knee and ankle.
As she reaches fifteen years let the
skirt be about two inches above her
shoe tops. At' sixteen a skirt that
comes to the top of the shoe is cor
rect When she Is eighteen she Is a young
lady and should be allowed to choose
the length of skirt she likes best, bat
If she is a wise girl she will cling to
ankle length, or about four ijches from
the ground. These rules, of course, are
subject to modification, according to
the development of the girl. Some girls
are much larger or smaller than others
at a given age and should be dressed in
keeping with their size.
Until a girl is past twenty-One she
should not wear very long skirts. Even
the debutante out for her second or
third season can wear with propriety
a dance"frock that escapes the floor by
three inches.
Be Careful of Children's Feelings.
How often does a mother uncon
sciously -wound the feelings of her
child! How many requests the kind
est of women refuse their boys or
girls without realizing how disap
pointed the children may be! Why
deny your baby needlessly? There are
so many times when a mother must
refuse a child's demands that It seems
cruel to deny him at other times.
Cruelty is defined' as "any act of a
human being which inflicts unnecessa
ry pain." Cruelty has an ugly ring,
hasn't it? But there are hundreds of
people who are honestly unaware of
their own cruelties.
Do you mothers who deny your chil
dren little pleasures just because it
may be inconsistent for you to grant
them at the time of asking do you
ever think of the "unnecessary pain"
you are inflicting on the child? This
morning, Mrs. Model Mother, did it oc
cur to you that it was inflicting "unnec
sary pain" on little Bobby when you re
fused to let him stand on a chair to see
out of the window? Poor little chap!
He wasn't tall enough to see without
a boost To be sure, you were writing
letters or dusting or washing dishes,
and you didn't have time to stoo and
grant his request. So you told him. it
would spoil the chair. Only one minute
would have sufficed to pull up ihe
chair, to put a newspaper ofi it for the
tiny feet, and that minute's time would
have saved the poor little baby heart
one pang. Wouldn't it have been worth
Btopping for.?
Children's Scrap Books.
Scrap book collecting is a farm nurs
ery diversion that has fewer adher
ents than it once had. Time was when
the youngsters devoted much time and
thought to gathering material with
which to fill the books, and who would
succeed In having the best collection
was a matter of heated competition.
It seems a pity that this form, of col
lecting should have dropped into dis
favor, for if rightly directed it may
be the means of developing traits in
the child that would otherwise lie dor
mant. '
In the selection of clippings for a
child's scrap book a large proportion
of space should be allotted to verse.
Tbeaftenrion of the child will thus
be directed to the many beautiful ideas
that are clothed in musical measure.
Numbers of grown folks can say that
many a noble sentiment has become
fixed in their thoughts Which would
perhaps have escaped them had it not
been presenfed In the beautiful garb
of poetry and had not the making of
scrap books been one of the delights
of their childhood.
Motherly Admonition.
A New York woman of great beauty
called one day upon a friend, bringing
with her her eleven-year-old daughter,
who gives "promise f becoming as
great a beauty as her mother.
It chanced that the callers, were
shown into a room where the friend
had been receiving a milliner, and
there were several beantiful hats lying
about During the conversation the
little girl amused herself by examining
the milliner's creations. Of the num
ber that she tried on she spemed par
ticularly pleased with a large black
affair which set off her light hair
charmingly. Turning to her mother,
the little girl said:
"1 look Just like you now. mother,
don't ir
"Sh!" cautioned the mother with up
lifted finger. "Don't be vain, dear."

MISTAKES.
When you make a mistake don't
look back at it long. Take the rea
son of the thing into your own mind,
see how similar mistakes can fee
avoided and then loak forward.
Mistakes are lessons ot wisdom.
The past cannot be changed. The
future is yet in your power. White.

Heart to Heart
Talks.
By EDWIN K. NYE
ON HER KNEES.
In the big" o3k'e bni'dLig it is yet
dark save for the liph'.s left all night
in the long corridors.'
The elevator stops to let off a scrub
woman. She wears an old biack dress,
a diminutive hat covered with a black
veil, heavy shoes.
The poor old thing painfully removes
her hat :nid veil, covers her dress with
a stubbing skirt, hunts up ber pail
and water and soap and brushes.
She gets on her knew ami stays there
from 4 o'clock to half past 0. And her
pay?
, Sixty-five cents!
Out of that sum she must pay ner
car fare or get up at 3 o'clock in the
morning. Always she walks home to
save ." cents
Follow her.
She is bent and wrinkled, worn, ex
hausted. She stops at a cheap stall
and buys 3 ci-uts worth of boiling meat
and a loaf of bread.
She cannot afford more than two
meals a day and pay the rent for her
two rooms, or. rat her. one room and a
closet. And while she cooks her poor
meal, she works on coarse overalls at 3
cents per garment.
Straining her eyes she is nearly sev
enty years of age she sews-until it is
dark, and then to save the gas she sets
the alarm Hock for 3 o'clock and goes
to her bed.
You would not call this woman with
gnarled bauds a heroine. But '
Honor to the brave old soul, that is
what she ;!
Since she was a gir! she has worked
with her hands. She has followed an
Invalid husband to the grave, she has
borne and buried children, suffered un
told privations, toilfully labored and
never has asked for charity.
Charity?
She Is too brave to live on the crumbs
from rich men's tables and too inde
pendent to take refuge lu an alms
house. But- .
Is there not something wrong with a
civilization that will permit a worthy
old woman whu has done more than
her share of the world's work to labor
on her kuees in order to keep a roof
over head and earn two meals a day?
In England she wouid have been on
the pension roll several years ago.
But our government is too busy csrh
ing trusts and changing tariffs to en:;'
for old women who arc wearing out
their bodies and souls in the serviw of
society Ion;; after they have earned im
