MAY day is becoming a more and more important date on the Amer ican calendar. Its increasing proml nence may not be felt so much in the large cities, where people are not so 'near to nature as in the smaller 'towns. But the May day spirit Is .getting hold of us and it will in time penetrate with its lightness and beauty tn most congested city districts. The colleges brought it into our life ouite a number of years ago, with their May poles and folk dances. Now -th public schools and athletic leagues are taking it up. Today in many towns the school children have a May day .programme of dances and singing. 'wreathine the May pole and other ap propriate exercices and in conjunction with these the athletically minded of "the town give exhibits of track run ning, pole vaulting, hammer throwing 'rand the like. It has become quite an outdoor day. i And isn't this a good thing? Some folks say we have to many holidays, :but doesn t this depend upon the use make of our holidays? Isn't getting outdoors, appreciating the beauties of nature, dancing, singing, enjoying the svigor of our bodies, throwing off thd usual routine of meal-getting, enjoy 'ins: a simple lunch out of a basket, bet ter occasionally than money-grubbing or- formal living? I am not contending for carrying this sort of thing to extremes. Nor IsMayday a legal holiday. But isn't it well to have something to entice out tdoors those who are free to spend i day with nature and who need enticing to do so 7 Will not all sucn glimpse bigger vision of life for a day spent switching the children sing and dance , the boys running and leaping, the ;Qua.lnt folk dances that carry one back to other times and countries? Or if they do none of these, but merely pack a lunch and go off in the woods and gather wild flowers, will they not be benefited? - There is a pretty custom in som places on May eve of mysteriously and anonymously depositing little baskets of flowers or sweets on the threshold of our friends. If the spirit of th custom goes no further than the mere carrying through the city streets and distributing to children who ask fo some bunches of wild flowers by those who have been a-Maying, isn:t this even worth while? Who can see bunches of buttercups or daisies violets or arbubtus or wild mac or apple blossoms the floral trophies de Trending of course upon the section country in which they were gathered without glimpsing for a momen woods and fields and sensing sweet. pure air and feeling an uplift of the spirit and broadening his outlook life? So if we are situated so that we can help make May day" a more important date on the calendar than It hitherto has been in our community or even in oar own family, let us do it. The spirit of it Is worth cultivating. Mature, PORTLAND MATRON WHO "LEFT . MOTOR x owers, outdoors, simplicity, music. lightness of spirits, Joy in life these re some of the things the observance of May day stands for. They are worth while things, aren t they? Why not bring them into our life as much as possible? TheSmdjwjStory By Mrs F.AWxlker. "Pine Candles.' N the great forest that lies Just north of Far-Away-Land lived a hunter and his family. Although they had very little and were even cold when the north wind came sweeping down from the Pole in the long Winter nights, they were very happy. Close against the side of their tiny house grew a straight young pine tree. In the sweet Summer days the children played on the soft brown carpet of its i fallen leaves while the wandering breeze sang to them as it passed on its way to the sea, and the little tree, too. whispered quaint forest legends. When Winter came and the children had to be Indoors, it would tap at the windows with its slender green fingers, calling: "I am here, little folks." And in stormy black night it would sing to them as they lay huddled close to gether in their little bed under the eaves the song that the snowbird brought from distant Ice fields. At Xmas the Hunter ventured forth in the bitter weather and brought in a ree. The little pine looking in through the frosted pane was sad to think his playmates had not chosen him. As they sat by the fire Xmas night, a stranger came to the door and asked shelter from the snow and Icy wind. 'I fear its little else we have to offer, sir," said the hunter giving him the warmest corner of the hearth and the best of their simple cheer. The little pine tree mourned In its wind- shaken branches. "Dear wee folks," it sighed; "have I not sheltered and loved you long? Yet the boughs of another swing low with your rosy apples and necklaces of popcorn, all white and gold. His fingers are tipped with flame; mine. cold and colorless. 'Listen," said the hunter's wife, "'how the wind sings in the pine trees." But the stranger, who was wise in wood magic knew what the little tree said. He took the children on his knee and told them curious tales of dryads and elves, legends of the robin's scar let breast and the snipe's long bill and lots of things that all little folks like to know. When- they had fallen fast asleep at last, he rose and laid them gently in their low bed. "Now, said he, "I must be going. "Why. sir," protested the hunter, "in this bitter night you would perish be fore you reached the great oaks by the spring. Your home must be far away, for never did I find a human habita tion, though I wandered many miles on the trail of bear and deer. "Ah, but the forest is my home," he replied softly: "the wind's way is mine, the trees my children, " and was gone into the night. Although "the .hunter searched for him not so much as a footprint could he find. But the little tree heard a voice saying, "Take care of these children, O sturdy pine! and I will reward you." And in the Spring, lo on each of the pine tree's slender fingers gleamed a white candlel And if you will look, you will see them for yourselves. Advice, D1 EAR MISS BLAKE I have corre sponded with a young- woman for some time and always have signed myself "sincerely yours." As we are now more intimate friends, what would you suggest as a less formal, more friendly conclusion? When two young persons call each other by their first names, is it proper to sign their letters so, or by their full names? Tours truly. TOM. Tom In olden times the writer of a letter always signed his or her full name, but we must remember that there was then a, great deal of undue formality. Now it 1s supposed that the recipient of a friendly letter knows who the writer is and will recognize the first nanie. it not the writing. When two persons 'call each other by the first name It is perfectly proper to 3 o o o o o o o o o YESTERDAY FOR EXTENDED TRIP. . -LI &r 7 sign their letters so. No, "yours sin cerely" ia not too formal, but the name is enough without the ending. But why not end your letter naturally and in any way that suits your mood? WATER ELECTION ORDERED Milwaukee to Vote on $C5,0O0. Bond Issue August 21. MILWATJKIE. Or, July 22. (Special.) The City Council last night author ized Auditor David P. Matthews to pre pare for a special election to be held August 21 to submit to the voters of Milwaukie the proposition to Issue not more than 125.000 in water bonds with which to complete the distribution sys tem of the municipal plant, already partly completed, for Bull Run water, and to extend the main to the Open Air Sanitarium and 37 other residences of Milwaukie Heights. In the ordinance nothing Is said about acquiring the two privately owned water plants. It is understood there will be funds available out of the $25,000, if authorized, to purchase these plants in addition to completing the distribution system, if an agree ment with the owners can be reached. Although at the last election the ma jority was against the purchase of these plants, there now is a sentiment that the owners should be given some thing for their property. The income from water revenue, it is stated, will take care of the Interest on the water bonds and provide a sinking fund, and Milwaukie will have one of the best water systems in the state.

Or, July 22 (Special.) A romance was hinted at tonight, when a glritsn voice asked Sheriff Wilson over the telephone: "Have you Mr. Hooper in the Clackamas County Jail?" The Sheriff replied that he re gretted Hooper is not here but on his way to Southern Oregon to face a trial for one of the many crimes charged against him there. "If he were at Oregon City I would go to see him." the girl said. She refused to give her name, and Sheriff Wilson learned that the call came from Shanlko.

Ire Cream Blamed for Capture. Asked regarding a streetcar holdup In Portland. Hooper said in disgust: "What would I want with a miserable $15 or so? Did I hold up a streetcar? I should say not." His fondness for Ice cream was a weakness that led to his capture. Hooper said yesterday. Since he was placed in the City Jail he has had nearly a quart of ice cream and about a dozen bananas. In The Dalles the day Hooper was captured he had been sitting in his hotel room, craving for ice cream, so he said.
