"Lets Be More

Do you realize the real rea- f
son whv there are so many
acc icients on Portlan d's
streets?
Most people are careful, but
not careful enough, especially
when croHsins the street.
E If everyone would seriousl y
stop ann admit that "too much
haste" or "neplect to stop and
look." when they are exposed
to passing vehicles, is the
real cause of accidents the
1 trouble would disappear. You i
want to avoid accident, every-
one wants to avoid it. both for
t hemselves and for others.
The only way to accomplish
satisfactory results in this
campaign is for you and
i everyone to not only be care-
ful as usual, hut to especially
observe the word "more" in
I "Let's Be More j

When crossing tlie street,
stop or slow down more than

less unusual care in looking is
observed by the one who car-

Of the Utmost Timeliness Is This
Christmas Sale of Furs
All our women's fur coats, fur capes, fur coatees, fur
collars, throws, scarfs and stoles are now being offered
at reduced prices. No wonder people are seizing upon the
opportunity to buy for themselves and gifts.
It s very pleasant to
hear what customers
are saying about the
furs. Just the other day
someone told us that a
French Seal coat priced
$190, reduced to $170,
in another shop, As
exactly the same as one
here originally priced
at $165, now reduced to
$140. Not only was the
fur the same, but even
the lining was identical.
Perhaps such com
parisons are to be
found more or less fre
quently. We have ob
served that many cus
tomers have returned
recently and chosen
their furs here after inspecting what could be had in other places.

THERE'S NO END TO DANCE
LURE, SAYS DUNCAN GIRL
"Once an Intelligent Person Begins There's Xo Telling Where She or

BY 1..EONE CASS BAER.
ONCK an intelligent and enter
prising Individual Roesin. as
they call it. for. dancing, there's
-no telling where she or he will
stop," said Anna Puncan at the Ben
won yesterday. Anna's name isn't
. Duncan any more than mine is. She
told me what It was but it's Swiss
and I've forgotten it. She and the
i five other girls who dance with her
took the name of Duncan 16 years
ago when they joined Isadora Duncan
. nnd became her pupils and protegees.
For 16 years the six have danced

after this tour they plan to return to j

They have danced all over Europe
and this is their first American tour.
They started on a tour before, and pot

mayor there stopped their appear

danced in their bare feet. Which only
kocs to prove attain that morals are
...a matter of sreoicraphy.
Anna Duncan said someone had told
- her Portland was as conservative as

alro as narrow-visioned? T said,
"Heavens, no! Didn't Raymond Dun

Raymond lit Paris Xoff.
Xo, I told her. We were nothing

' in Faris now, she said, engaged in
- reconstruction work, and his son. who
" must be around 12 now. absolutely
loathes dancing; and has developed a
- positive genius for mechanics.
"He may turn into an engineer

it is the most elevating of arts, can
not be implanted," she said.
"If it is born in an individual, then
that" individual will gratify his love
for dancing at whatever cost: he will
dance if it's on his own grave. But
if the passion for dance is not born
in him. nothing on earth, all the
teaching and all the precepts of
others, will ever reach him. No
child ' with a congenital taste for
dance has to be dragged to a class or
even told to dance.
"It takes to graceful posturings and
natural movement of its young ani

practice. I have been with hundreds
of children, in Isadora's school, and
in classes I have taught in Russia and
London, and I have never found a
genuine dance-loving child who did
not try to dance naturally, of its own
volition. They may dance badly, or
even grotesquely, awkwardly or
amusingly, but nevertheless they try
to express themselves.
Duncan Dances at Hcilfic.
"The market places are filled with
folk who pretend to like and under
stand interpretative dancing, because
they are told that it is an elevating
passion, like opera, say, and that not
to like it or not to understand it puts
them without the pale. So they lie '
about it.
"There are others, frank souls,
whosti nebulous, faint-hearted taste
for artistic dancing has been wholly
alienated by one or two unfortunate
programmes of meaningless caperin:?s
and posings committed in the name of
dance. I like all sorts of graceful
dancing. Even the rag-time modern
steps are to be commended since they
are, shall I say. several steps in th
right direction?'

Child Flays Autoists Who
Run Over Pigeons.
Little Beverley Traiello. In letter to
Mayor Baker. Asks That Offend
ers Be Punished.
CARELESS autoists who run down
pigeons and other birds on the
etreets of Portland are severely
flayed in a letter received yeste. "ay
by Mayor Baker from little Beverley
Traglio, a grammar ecliool girl. The
letter is written, in a neat hand and
is as follows:
"After reading the paper, I was
very sad to think that eome heartless
people ran over live pigeons that Joe
Hardy had so long fed.
"Most of us know that we are try
ing to make Portland eafe, but some
are not with us. You clso know that
if anyone would run over an inno
cent pigeon, they would run over a
child or grown person.
"Everyone knows that most acci
dents are caused by carelessness and
nothing else and everyone knows that
Joe Hardy has been in Portland for
years and almost everyone loves him.
"I belong to the 'Flossy Fisher club'
and I have pledged to be kind to
birds and animals and would like to
keep my promise. Therefore, I am
making this request for the safety
of the people and animals of Portland
that anyone who runs over a bird or
animal should pay a fine and the
money should be turned over to some
good to sick people or the humane
society. If something is not done on
this case and careless drivers will
run over mc.e an :als and birde and
finally people, for a heartless person
ran over my dog and killed him."
