Civ en in their honor by the wives of

Sirs. C. i. "Waters, wtife of President

a short programme the afternoon was !
friveo over to the fashten show.
Valuable ('oMtamri Shown.
One hundred and fifty thousand dol
Jars worth of jewels, furs, gowns;
I rocks and almost priceless gee paw a
were displajed in the fitshion show in
3- exquisite models which appeared in
ti different costumes. A stage was
erected at t he south end of the crystal
room, where, amid black silken dra
jieries, rich Chinese and oriental rugs
and walnut Jacobian furniture, the
models appeared and stopped just
second before descending to the main
floor and circling about the tables. Two
Chinese girls, one in native costume of
lavender and the other similarly
dressed in green, stood on both sides
f the stage holding back heavy cur
tains of purple velvet.
Among the hats displayed Was
Imported piodl of cut jet which, was
priced at i'J, despite its apparent sim
)Iiclty and its obvious smallness. A
cape-coatee of Kussian sable valued at
S.&.Ouu was another bit to cause in
voluntary gasps of admiration from
the audience and to make the eyes of
the wee Chinese girls even larger.
Kerns Iake t'watributionv.
Frocks and gowns were from Hick
Son and Harry Collins, imported models.
and though many of them were not
precede n ted by smartness, originality
vr richness, the most popular of all
was a girlish Palm Beach frock of lav
ender organdie, just abort enough to
display a lace underskirt, with a slight
suggestion of hoops about the hips
and trimmed with flaring white or
gandie cuffs and collar and Kolinsky
fur. It was worn with a wide-brimmed
imported taupe hat.
The most daring of all costumes
shown was an extreme decollette cre
ation of brocaded silver and black. It
served as a brilliant setting for a mag
nificent pearl dog collar and a gorgeous
diamond sunburst. Many of the models
wore ropes of real pearls and other
marvelous jewels.
The costumes and properties were
lent to .the show by the following
firms:

Ask your dealer for a capsule of the vegetable

Compare Troco With the
Best Creamery Butter
The test of Troco is on the table, where it wina
butter lovers. For cooking it has no equal, either
in results or from the standpoint of economy. Troco
goes farther than butter.
Troco is a quality product used in homes where
only fhe best is tolerated. Here flavor, quality and
the assurance of fastidious manufacturing methods
insure the popularity of Troco.
CORVALLIS CREAMERY CO., Distributors, 208 Salmon St.
Solves the Butter Problem
Troco is not merely a butter substitute; it is the
successor to butter. It tastes like creamery butter
and is as digestible, with the same high nutritive
value. Troco solves the butter pr. blem for critical
users who say that rarely is any product so sweet
and delicate.
Coconuts and Milk
Troco is made from the white meat of coconuts,
churned with pasteurized milk by an exclusive proc
ess which gives the delicate Troco flavor.

time a very brief time Dis-
A trict Attorney Evans believed that
the reward of the Good Samaritan was
about to be his in this life.
It has been the practi of the dis
trict attorney ever since the first var
nish of his automobile was well scarred
to pick up various pedestrians on his
way to business every morning. Yes
terday mornintr he found in the ton
neau a handsome silk umbrella with
silver-mounted handle. He had brought
with him to the center of town two
well?dressed young1 chaps whom he had
never seen before and whom he be
lieved had never seen him. It must
have belonged to them, he reasoned, and
there was no logical chance of their
ever finding whose automobile they had
left their rain-stick in.
Chuckling with malicious glee. Mr.
Evans was telling the story of his luck
to a reporter at noon yesterday, when
the telephone rang.
"Hello, Walter," greeted the voice of
George Joseph, attorney. The voice
continued. "Did I leave an umbrella in
your machine yesterday?"
Daylight Saving Law Opposed.
"WASHINGTON'. Feb. 10. In response
to letters and petitions from farmers
urging repeal of the daylight saving:

that he had planned to offer a rider

KANSAS CITT. The night porter
was getting- ready to clean up the hotel
lobby. The sleepy man killing- time
waiting; for an owl car to turn a near
by corner, was watching- him. The
firs thing the porter did was to "go programme
lounging chairs. He carefully presse
through" all the deeply cushioned
lounging- chairs. He carefully pressed
down the leather seats with one hand
and slipped the other deep along each
side and at the back. Almost me
chanicallv he pulled out various small
articles. Including a coin or two, from
each chair, pocketed tnem and con
tinued the process until he had com
pleted the night s collection.
"What luck?" asked the now wide
awake and mucn-astonisnea owl car
sojourner.
"Not so bad," answered the porter.
"Eiehty-f lve cents."
"Ever get much more than that?"
" Yas, sah. Every now and then I

YANK SOLDIERS INGENIOUS
Music Made From Tin, Sandpaper
and Legs of Chair.
PARIS. Fresh proof of the ingenu
ity and resourcefulness of the Amer
ican soldier in France was given the
other night at L.a Rochellc. An army
quartet had been billed to play for
the soldiers at the Young Men's Chris
tian Association hut there. The train
failed to come, after the manner of
trains in France. John J. Anderson
of Dallas, Tex., the Y. M. C. A. secre
tary at La Fallaise, near IjO Kocheue,
explained the matter to the audience.
Immediately an impromptu jazz
quartet was organized. One performer
played on two pieses of sand paper.
another on a piece of tin, the third
with an automobile horn, and the
fourth tried to make music with a leg
of a chair.
With these instruments, the Jazz
band "played" the popular music of
the United States, to the great amuse
ment of the audience. Heated dis
putes as to what they were playing
occupied large place on the evening's

House Votes to Change Injustice of
Latest Statute.
STATE CAPITOU Salom. Or., Feb. 20.
(Special.) A change back to the old
law as it existed prior to 1917 relative
to dower and courtesy rights are fa
vored by the house, which passed a bill
to that effect by Representative Mar
tin today. Many pretests against the
1917 law had been received from
grangres, woman's organizations, judges.
lawyers and others.
The 1917 act made provision that in
lieu of a dower or curtesy right the
surviving spouse could take an undi
vided one-third interest of the dece
dent's estate in fee simple. Those in
favor of the niensure declared tht i"ince
the 1917 enactment the new law was
shown to be alive with unjust results
and that it bad so demonstrated itself
in actual practice. Forty-three mem
bers voted in favor of doing away with
the 1917 act.
