A

orate and merry family gather
ings, the younger members being In
cluded because of the holiday, which
in many cases necessitated early din
ners so that the "littlest" guests might
have peaceful slumbers last night. The

series and many of the older folk were
gladdened by sumptuous repasts.
The morning was devoted to church
going by many of Portland's fam
ilies, others attended the annual paper-chase
and breakfast at the Port
land Hunt Club, returning In time to
see the football game at the Multno
mah field. Here the motors were
parked on every available foot of space
surrounding the grounds for blocks,
and all the gay young debutantes
proudly wore a huge yellow chrysan
themum on their muffs or coats, re
turning in time to rest and eat. Many
of the home gatherings were closed
with gay little dances, and everyone
retired uttering thanksgivings for
many blessings.
Of paramount importance today In
the social world is the Jarge anniver
sary tea for the benefit of the People's

Advice.
Boys of the Hook.
1 WONDER why it is that young men
however useful and ornamental
they may be under other roofs are
apt to be so distinctly disagreeable in
their own homes. I visited awhile ago
in a home and the way the "boys"
condescended to their parents made me
thoroughly angry They referred to
their father a.&-.itya "old boy," who
never did understand. One day I over
heard the 21-year-old son say of his
father: "O, I'm not blaming him, you
know. What does he know about the
ways of the world? He can't see that
I have to lead my life differently now
than he did at my age."
Father's business in life in the eyes
of some of these modern sons is
simply that of signing checks of no
small size at request and at high speed,
asking no awkward Questions as he
does it. Father doesn't need to be
deaf, but he must be dumb, at least
on advice and questionings as to son's
behavior.
Mother well, a sneaking affection for
mother lurks in the boy's heart, but
that doesn't prevent the boy from
looking at mother as the very incarna
tion of worry. She worries with equal
readiness over damp socks and wild
oats, visions of thin underclothing and
an undesirable marriage flit like night
mares through her mind. Her solicitude
worries her son. He gets annoyed.
Let her find out if she is right or
wrong he isn't going to tell her any
thing. That it is pure, unselfish

Hood River, Or.. Nov. 26. I Special.)
At their orchard home in the Bel
mont district, Mr. and Mrs. Aaron
Butts, with a number of their close
friends and relatives, celebrated their
golden wedding day today. Although
the wedding was solemnized on Novem
ber 24. 1864. at Chicago, Mr. and Mrs.
Butts have always celebrated the an
niversary on each Thanksgiving day.
The first year of their married life
was spent at Napierville, 111., the native
city of Mrs. Butts. In 1865 they re
moved to Burlington, Wis., where Mr.
Butts engaged in the produce business.
In 1868 they removed to Chicago, where
Mr. Butts remained in the produce and
real estate business until 1901. when
he came to Hood River.

mother love at the root of her anxiety
never occurs to the boy.
The3e boys who are intolerant of
tneir parents are usually exceedingly
scornful about their sisters. When
they are young it takes the crude form
of openly wondering what other "men"
can see in such unattractive girls. As
they grow older they adopt the equally
annoying plan of running down all
their sister's masculine friends. They
are prone to extreme severity If their
sisters snow the slightest signs of
frivolity. Their own flirtations are a
different matter and must not be criti
cised. These young male persons are rather
selfish and lazy about their own homes.
They regard home as a place of un
limited sloth t. place to stay when
they have nothing else to do or any
other place to go. If they come down
late to breakfast they expect their
cup of coffee to be served without a
word of complaint.
v If it weren't for the fact that this
type of youth has gracious moments in
which he unbends and talks to father
as an equal, mother as a. person of
sense, and to 3ister as a "pretty fair
scout," he would be well-nigh in
tolerable about the house.
And he could make himself such a
lovable being if he would only ex
ercise under the home roof a bit of
that usefulness and thougbtfulness and
desire to please and be popular that
he does exercise under other , roofs.
"Winter Care
Of The Garden
Tropical Plants for Indoor Garden.
WITH a little care a number of trop
ical plants may be grown indoors,
and during the Winter they are a par
ticularly attractive addition to a bay
window or conservatory garden.- Vari
ous kinds of palms, rubber plants, ole
anders, aspidistras and cacti are easily
kept in good condition indoors if given
the proper attention and not permit
ted to be exposed to frost, according
to the Department of Agriculture's
horticulturists.
Palms Palms are much used for in
terior decorations where there is no
direct sunlight. Regular watering is
essential, with especial care not to
over-water. It is better with most
palms to keep them a little dry than
too wet. Where a pot is in a Jardi
niere especial care must be exercised
not to have them too wet.
While small wash the foliage oc
casionally with soap suds made from
a good soap. Immediately follow with
a thorough rinsing. When too large
for this, spray the tops frequently with
clear water.
Browning at the tips usually comes
from trouble at the roots first, over
watering; second, worms on the roots;
third, lack of plant food. The first is
the trouble in nearly every case. The
worm that gives the trouble is not the
ordinary earth worm, but a little white
harmless-looking creature that emerges
into the air as a small fly. Dissolve
a piece of quicklime as big as a teacup
in three gallons of water. After it is
through sputtering and the milky mix
ture has cleared, pour off the clear
paft and soak your soil with it. Do
not dilute, for 'the soaking should be
thorough. To provide plant food, stir
small quantities of bone meal and wood
ashes into the surface or in place of
ordinary watering occasionally use ma
nure water or ammonia water (a tea

the leaves turn yellow, look for scale
on the under side and be sure you are
not over-watering. Wash the scale off
or spray with kerosene emulsion or
wha4e oil soap, or some nicotine prep
aration. Do not repeat too often. If a palm
grows three new leaves a year it does
well.
Rubber Plants. Rubber plants are
especially satisfactory to grow where
there is a good light without direct
sunlight.- Water often enough to keep
the soil moist, but do not under any
circumstances permit water to stand
about the roots nor allow it to become
"bone dry." A potted plant set in a
Jardiniere needs especial care not to 1
over-water. i
Wash the foliage frequently with '
soap suds made from good soap. Rinse 1
thoroughly at once.
Repot occasionally as the pots become
full of roots. Feed once in two to four
weeks with dilute nitrate of soda (a
heaping teaspoonful dissolved in water)
or ammonia water or manure water, as
described for the palm, or some pre
pared plant food.
Aspidistras are most ornamental.
They should be kept rather drier than
palms and rubber plants.
Cacti require rather dry sandy soil.
At the Notion Counter
TAPE with embroidered numbers
worked in red is sold. The num
bers come in pairs, two of each, up to
about 70 and they are to be sewed
to stockings to identify the pairs. As
one household would seldom have more
than 70-odd pairs of stookings that
could be confused, these tapes are quite
adequate. The numbers are all strung
together, waiting for your shears to
cut them apart.
Blue, black, gray, brown and laven
der dress shields are sold, to be used
in transparent frocks or blouses of
these various colors. They are a great
improvement on the white ones. And
of course they wash perfectly. Then,
too, there are the flesh-colored shields
for light evening frocks that are prac
tically invisible.
If you wear wash gloves, you prob- j
atiiy need a glove stretcher. One in
bone is sold for 15 cents, and with it
you can straighten out and stretch
the fingers of your gloves while they
are damp, so that they will dry straight
md big enough to slip on comfortably.
Vooden stretchers are sold for the
ame price.
A convenient addition to the -work
'. -.ble Is another notion counter offer
. lg. It is a box containing six divis
ions, each for a spool of thread. There
is a little spike to hold the spool in
place in 'each compartment, and the
outside of the box is numbered with
the number of the thread within. The
box keeps the spools in order, clean
and safe. The ends of thread come
through slits in the side of the box
where they are wound for safe keep
ing around a little steel hook on which
they can be broken.
A convenient little notion-counter
knickknack is a small shirred ribbon
band to clasp around the bands of
lingerie that go over the shoulder. It
fastens with a small ball and socket
clasp under a little rosette of lace.
Twelve tiny spools of silk of twelve
different colors are sold ' In a little
pasteboard box for 15 cents. They are
in so many shades that one could
match almost any gown with them and
so they are especially useful for mend
ing. Eighty cents is the price of some
small embroidery scissors that have
white bone handles. They are very
dainty for the work table, and for a
room furnished in white enameled
wood they are particularly suitable.
White and colored cotton lingerie
tape is now sold in a good many va
rieties. There was a time when it
could be had in only a coarse weave
and then It was in no way equal to
ribbon. Now it can be had in a soft
weave, in pink, blue or white, with a
little twilling along the edge that adds
to its appearance and strength. It Is
superior to silk ribbon in the fact that
it does not become so easily stiffened
and discolored. Copyright, 1914, by the

BLIND SCHOOLS INSPECTED
Idaho Superintendent Studies Ore

Under a special commission from the
State of Idaho, Professor W. E. Tay
lor, superintendent of the Idaho Stato
School for the Deaf and Blind, at
Gooding, has completed an inspection
of the two Oregon institutions, as well
as those of Washington at Vancouver.
Professor Taylor was sent to Oregon
to discover the latest ideas in school
building construction in anticipation
of a $40,000 appropriation to be asked
from the Legislature for a new build
ing at the Idaho school. The problem
of an Independent water plant for the
institution was studied in the two
states and recommendations for one
will be made by the superintendent.
"The steady growth of the Idaho school
has made necessary a new building for
classrooms," said Professor Taylor yes
terday before he returned to his home.
"The Oregon schools ar- well equipped,
and our efforts before the Legislature
will be made to work out a similar
class oom arrangement"

Asbury Park, N. J. "1 was in such
a nervous, weak, run-down condition
that I could not sleep nights, every
little thing disturbed me, my appetite
was very poor, and I was losing flesh.
I was so nervous at times that I used
to faint and have hysterics. I do my
housework for a family of four, and
they became alarmed at my condition.
I tried beef, iron and wine and cod
liver oil emulsions without benefit.
One day our druggist suggested that I
try Vinol and told me how it had
helped others. I did so, and it has
simply done wonders for me, as I am
a well woman and entirely cured of mv
nervousness." Mrs. KATHERINE K.

Such reliable testimony should con
vince others of the value of Vinol.
therefore if you are worn out, weak
