SILK BLOUSE OF DARK BLUE
A design for a silk blouse to be
worn with a tailored suit is shown in
the sketch. The original of this was
a dark blue messaline, the buttons
covered with the s?me material and
combined with ecru shadow lace. Be
coming long lines and a vast effect
were given by laying the material in
two pleats over the shoulder with an
inner box pleat running from shoul
der to waist line, which ontlined the
vest. Below the yoke of lace, which
was in surplice style and button
trimmed, was a flat band of the ma
terial with three large messaline
covered buttons and holding jabot of
lace. The elbow sleeves were fin
ished with turned-back cuffs of the
material, below which showed a por
tion of the little lace cuff.

HOMESTEADER WINS
EIGHT WITH COUGARS
ESTACADA, Or., Nov. 12. Attacked
by a cougar in the mountains, 14 miles
from here, Manny Hill, a homestead
er, killed it after a brisk fight, during
which he escaped injury.
Hill with a bird dog was hunting
grouse in a thicket near his cabin,
when the cougar shot out of a tree
alighting on the dog. In passing the
animal's claws struck Hill, knocking
his hat off and slighting scratching
him. The dog wriggled out of the way
and the animal promptly rushed at
Hil, but the 22 caliber bullet had
wounded him and while he crouched
for another leap, Hill shot the cat
through the head, killing him instant
ly. Hearing a snarl, Hill whirled about
to see another huge cougar leap out
of a tree and retreat up the trail. Not
caring to chance another shot with
the email caliber rifle, Hill ran to his
cabin, secured a heavier rifle, and re
turned to find the living cougar wait
ing near the dead mate. He killed the
brute.
Both cougars are large specimens.
Their conduct is puzzling to old hunt
ers, who have long asserted that a
cougar avoids trouble, unless wound
ed.
MACCABEES GIVE
LARGE BANQUET
Oregon City Tent of the Knights of
the Maccabees listened to talks Tues
day evening by Deputy State Comman
der Samain, Judge Grant B. Dimick
and John Denison of Portland. Mr.
Samain lauded the local lodge on
their rapid growth during the past
few months and told the members
that he would make arrangements for
the Portland drill team from Tent
No. 1, to put on the degree work at
the next meeting of the local lodge.
Nine new members were initiated at
the meeting after which a banquet
was given. At the next meeting which
will be held the last Tuesday in Nov
ember a large banquet will be given.
The meeting was marked by its large
attendance.
MISSIONARY SOCIETY TO MEET.
The Woman's Missionary Society of
the Baptist Church will meet at 2:30
o'clock Wednesday afternoon in the
church parlors, and the society will
begin the new study book, "China's
New Day." All ladies of the church
are invited to be present.
HOP MARKET QUIET;
PRICES STEADY
Dealers today reported a fair move
ment on in the hop market, though
for the most part at prices slightly
under those quoted a week ago. One
of the best known local traders quoted
18 cents as the outside figure on the
best hops now available in the state,
admitting at the same time that hold
ings of grade were scant in the ex
treme, and quoted 12 1-2 to 15 cents
on the next best grades. Buyers were
said to be more disposed to take hold
than was the case last week and grow
ers at the same time were reported
to be more inclined to sell.
In some quarters slightly higher
prices were quoted, but the bulk of the
trade now passing was admitted to be
at figures within the range of those
given above. Producers having fair
m good grade hops, however, are noi
rusning to the market.
One of the reasons for the activity
on the part of the buyers at this time
is the advance in freight rates on
shipments to the Atlantic seaboard
that will go into effect November 20.
The advance will amount to about $50
a car over the previous charge, and
naturally is an item of importance to
shippers. Buyers on the coast having
consigments for delivery East now are
loading and dispatching care to the
extent of their ability, but are serious
ly hampered by the scarcity of cars.
Dealers are said to be averaging
about 10 days' notice on cars ordered
for the traffic eastward, the demand
for cars for the movement of all sorts
of agricultural products being so
great that the railroad companies can
not supply the needed rolling stock
on short notice. On consignments
sent out now the advance in freight
charges will be saved, and to effect
this saving dealers are said to be
rushing out shipments not yet sold,
with a view to disposing of them while
the cars are on their way east.

Money Goes For Everything But National Highways
By Heber MacDonald and Louis W. Gay, New York City, N. Y., in
"Better Roads".
This story shows the Millions of Public Money voted for Every
thing but Good Roads in the States.
To railroads (in public lands) '. . . . $1,000,000,000
Tc rivers and harbors . 592,295,000
To Panama Canal 400.00O,l'O0
To public buildings 213.:i76,000
To Mississippi River levees 16,582,000
To roads in Porto Rico, Ala ska, Ccli.i1 . .-ne and
Philippines 8,300,0t'O
To roads in the States Not a d cent
Over two million miles of county roads in the United States,
of which less than eight per cent are improved.
Transportation tax is $53.37 per capita.
Present tariff tax is $18.13 per capita.
Good roads in one year would save this country $500,000,000
or a hundred million more than the cost of the Panama Canal.
That it costs a farmer more to haul a bushel of whea- nine
miles over unimproved omnty roads than to ship it from NewYork
to Liverpool a distance of 3100 miles.
That good roads would add $5 to $10 per acre to farm land
values.
That good roads would add four and one-quarter billion dol
lars to our national wealth. From Western Motor Record, Oct. ?2, 12.
The Ancient Egyptian.
The question. "Of what race were
the ancient Egyptians?" has never been
satisfactorily disposed of. but we may
be sure that they were not negroes.
They were not black, nor was theii
hair "kinky" therefore they belonged
to some other than the negro race.
They certainly were not Caucasians,
nor were they of the Mongolian or yel
low breed of men. The builders of the
pyramids were probably of Arabic
stock or of stock in which Arabic pre
dominated, although, as has been Inti
mated, it Is by no means settled as yet
as to just where the old Egyptians are
to be placed in the human scale. New
York American.
Here everywhere in the
frozen north in the fever
ridden swamps of the tropics
they look to me for aid.
To the invalid, the convales
cent, the old, the infirm, I
give real helpful service.
A little of me goes a long
way.
