WOMANLY STYLES UPHELD Michigan Officiul Says So-Called In decency Is in Men's Minds. LANSING. MichTAug. 3. "Spittoon philosophers" and "barnacles of the street" were some of the descriptions applied by D.' N. McClure, of the State Board of Health, in discussing some of those who denounce present styles for women. Discussing the "riding of the dress hobby." Mr. McClure said: "If the dressing of the mind were more thought of than dressing of the body there would be less criticism of women's dress. Most of the so-called indecency is all In the mind. If the spittoon philosophers and street bar nacles who stand on street corners and ogle women as they go by could be blasted off the earth the world would breathe easier. The scantiness of women's dress is only a reflex of the immoral man dressed mind. Let us cast out the insulting beam of our man eyes before wc so loudly decry Im modesty In woman's dress."

THREE FIRES ARE BURNING Boat Lock and Drift Unun Stream, Creating Alarm, but Rescue Is Effected at Dobba Ferry. NEW YORK. Aug. 9. In a dense fog in the Hudson River early today the steamer Iroquois, of tne Manhattan line, crashed Into the Berkshire, of the Hudson Navigation Company, off Hastings, cutting 18 feet into the Berkshire's counter and ripping her almost to the waternne. Both boats were carrying passengers from Albany to New York, the Berkshire having nearly 1000 on board. There was a rush for the decks by her passengers in scanty clothing, but officers quickly reassured them and there was no panic. The Iroquois re mained fast in the hole in the side of the other ship and the two, locked to gether, drifted down the river to Dobbs Ferry, where other steamers brought them to a dock. FIRE HOSE QUENCHES WAR Sacramento Greeks Drag Italian In and Authorities Are Called. SACRAMENTO, Cal., Aug. 9. (Spe cial.)

Possibility of Flames Sweeping Down on Camp Without Xotice Is Alarming as Xothing Can Be Seen Mile Away. EUGENE, Or.. Aug. 9. (Special.) Fifty families in logging camps on the Upper Mohawk River are living in a state of fear of being cut off from escape by forest fires. The entire Mo hawk Valley is filled with smoke and objects a mile distant are swallowed up by the dense blanket that prevents all chance of detection of fire before its spread across the narrow valley, where it might wipe out the camps as it did the town ofvWendling and the camps several years ago. A report was received at Wendling today that fire had started between Wendling and the camps 10 miles above. As yet It has not been verified. The smoke which fills the valley Is caused by three fires. One at Mabel, which has been burning for two weeks In old slashings and covering 200 acres, assumed serious proportions this morn ing and a force of men was rushed from Marcola. The fire at Donna, which has been burning for a week, is advancing slowly, despite the efforts of a large force of patrolmen. The third fire is small as yet. FATAL CLIMB NARRATED HOW C. EDISON WINGARD LOST HIS LIFE TOLD BY FRIEND. Companion Relate Attempt to Scale Haystack Rock Memorial Tab let to Win Others. an impossible task and has often been attempted, but in vain. Wingard and I tried in past years to make the ascent, but failed in every attempt. Von der Roy watched Wingard until he gained the southwest point of the rock and began to ascend. Von der Roy left for shore when Wingard was about 40 feet up the rock. Von der Roy reached shore about 11 A. M. and waited for Wingard, but Wingard did not come ashore. At noon Von der Roy called up the Ham mond and Tillamook life-saving crews, and the Hammond crew, in tow of a tug, started immediately for the rock. Meanwhile about 260 persons and about 10 automflbiles gathered about the rock waiting for the rescue by the life-saving crew. The crew arrived about 4:30 P. M. and made a careful survey of the rock, but found no sign of Wingard. The crew then left for home, but did not let the people ashore know whether they had found any traces of Wingard or not About 8 P. M. Mrs. Wingard. Edison Wingard's grandmother, received word by telephone from the lifeboat that they had carefully searched the rock, but had found no traces of Wingard. About 8:30 P. M. Von der Roy, Grant Cole, Alex Adair. Clarence Young and I were going out around the rock to convince ourselves whether Edison was there. We were restrained, however, by persons on the beach. The sea yesterday was unusually heavy and a close survey of Wingard's position was not possible. Saturday morning, however, Carl Von der Roy, Grant Cole and I swam to the outer side of Haystack Rock and searched every nook and crevice for Win gard's body, as it was now certain that he had fallen from the rock. He had only a bathing suit on when he at tempted to make the climb. Wingard had a host of friends here at Ecola. and every one knew him. He always craved venturesome tasks and had no fear In the presence of danger. He was graduated from Lincoln High School in June, 1913, and had been at tending Reed College. He and I worked together here this Summer. He is survived by his father, in Portland, and his mother and sister, who live in Spokane. The people of Cannon Beach have started a subscription for a tablet to be placed on the rock, to read: BOY OF 13 IS HE Ernest O'Bryan Makes Daring Rescue at Seaview. PONY URGED INTO OCEAN BY HOWARD S. M'KAY. ECOLA, Or., Aug. 8. -(Special.) Following is a true account of the un timely death of C. Edison Wingard, Oregonian representative here: Carl Von der Roy and Wingard sta tioned themselves last Friday morning at 7 o'clock on the northwest point of Haystack Rock to fish. They fished for a couple of hours until the tide began to come in. They started to gather their fishing tackle to leave. when Edison gave tne von aer noy boy his tackle and clothes and said he was going to climb the rock. This is In Memory of 5 C, EDISON WINGARD, : : Wiio Gave His Lite in an Attempt to : : Climb This Rock, August 7, III14. : Haystack Rock stands about 200 feet from shore and is about 250 feet high. No one has ever ascended it. Its crest is habitated by hundreds of sea parrots. The tablet to be erectecf on the rock will not only be a memorial to Win gard, but perhaps will stay other per sons from attempting the Impossible climb. Villa Starts South. WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.

While Older Bathers Look on Help lessly, Youngster Carries Wil liam Wells Abbott to Sarcty in Cnconscious Condition. SEAVIEW, Wash.. Aug. 9. (Spe cial.) One of the finest pieces of indi vidual heroism ever witnessed on North Beach was enacted here today, when Ernest O'Bryan, 13-year-old son of Harvey O'Bryan, of Portland, rescued William Wells Abbott, also of Port land, from drowning In the Pacific Ocean. Abbott swam out beyond the breakers and was unable to return. Ernest O'Bryan was riding his pony. Dixie, along the beach when he saw Abbott making a desperate struggle far out in the breakers. He lashed the cay use into the foaming surf, out among the combers and beyond the bathers who were afraid to venture the rescue. When Dixie refused to go further into the treacherous undertbw, young O'Bryan threw himself over Its head and swam to where Abbott had gone down. He found the unconscious man being steadily seaborne, secured a grip on his bathing suit and in a few min utes hauled the unconscious bather to shore. As soon as he landed Ernest left those on the beach to carry the apparently dead man to the nearby cottage of Mrs. T. C. Elliott, of ialla Walla, while he galloped to the cottage of Dr. R. .1. Marsh, of Portland. Dr. Marsh raced to the Elliott cottage, and after an hour's hard work, with hypodermics and restoratives, Abbott regained con sciousness. Mr. Abbott is Northwest general agent for the Continental Life Insur ance Company, of Salt Lake City, and lives at the Hotel Benson. Young O'Bryan, who attends the Ladd School, lives with his parents at 208 Sixteenth street. When the Potter train pulled out to night, the 13-year-old hero, who had faced almost certain death taking a chance which a score of experienced swimmers refused, was shouldered by the crowd.

A FINE COMPLEXION A girl's complexion is something more thar a matter to concorn her van ity. It is an indication of the state of her health. Pallor in a growing girl means a thinning of thu blood. Erup tions mean impurities In the blood. Parents should be watchful of their daughters' complexions, und should to It that these danger signs are cor rected, not covered up. When a girl in her 'teens becomes pale and sallow, especially If, at the same time, she shows an Inclination to tire easily, a llstlessness and Inatten tion to her work or studies, she needs Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, a tonic which directly and specifically correct the condition from which she Is suffering. A chemical analysis of the blood of such a girl would show It to be de ficient in Just the elements that Dr. Williams' Pink 1'tlls ran supply but tne physical signs are plain. Every girl should read the chapter on "Chlorosis" in the free booklet. "Building Up the Blood." It tells Just what to do and gives directions regarding diet, exer cise and rest. The girl with a muddy complexion should have the booklet "A Dainty Lax ative." which tells about Plnklets. These books will be sent free on re quest by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company. Schenectady. N. V. Your own druggist will supply Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Adv.
