Money Handler-.
The interest aroused by the results
of pistol practice on the part of Fred
W. Alt. cashier of the Bank of East
Portland, who shot and killed Jay C.
Campbell, bank robber, last Tuesday
when he attempted to hold up the
bank, has caused Captain J. T. Moore,
acting chief of police, to Issue a gen
eral invitation to all bank employes
and persons who handle money to use
the pistol range at police headquar
ters for target practice.
Alt's skill and bravery was due to
his work on the target range at the
police station and by It he saved his
bank from monetary loss and per
haps from loss of life, besides pro
viding a lasting lesson for potential
criminals. Believing that there will
be less Incentive to crime If all per
sons who handle money are expert
pistol shots. Captain Moore has
opened the range to all such persons.
The pistol rang is located in the
basement at police headquarters. Sec
ond and Oak streets, and applicants
for target practice or the heads of
firms who wish their employes to
learn to shoot can gain permission at

said instructors would be provided
to teach the methods of handling
firearms and shooting.

Dear Madame Rlchet: I enjoy reading

i lems. I want to make over a dreaa like

Could you tell me wnat styie
of dress I could make and could I use
braid or embroidery on it and what color?
Thanking you for aJI the help you give us
in your answers, I am, MRS. BELL.
RS. BELL We are always pleased
to learn that this department Is
serving its readers in the way
the way for
which established and trust it may so
continue.
The poplin for your daughter is
quite all right in color and I would
not dye a darker blue; it now is on
the line of the Harding blue. The
best type of dress Is of the bloused
waist and the straight full skirt
which measures from two yards to
two and a half. For the waist I
would advise that you purchase a
pattern having the above mentioned
type of waist and place thereon your
waist pieces; if after careful placing
you find that the pattern shows
greater width at the bottom I then
susgest that you supply those "gaps"
with pieces cut from the skirt, which
at preseht has more than enough ma
terial, and upon these embroider an
allover design done in a cheery com
bination of the same blue, henna,
green, tan and black. You will find
that this manner of piecing will build
up a beautiful lower waist and the
round neck can be outlined in the
combination of colors using worsted
or silk. The sleeves can be improved
by making elbow length and widening
under the upper arm; finish the edge
In the same manner as the neck. For
the ever Important girdle, would sug
gest that you have the soft crush,
letting it show a bit from beneath the
bloused waist and. at the bottom of
the long ends which should be at
least four to six inches wide, I would
there run many rows in crosswise
line to a distance of eight inches.
This varigated touch of color will
prove a delightful feature and will
brighten the skirt as well as the
waist. .
Madame Richet: I would like your ad
vice concerning the making and planning
of a dreaa out of a suit Ilka sample In
closed. The suit has a narrow, two-piece
skirt, the measurment (when ripped) be
ing: Front, acroas top. inchea. 3a in.
length and 26 across bottom. The back
piece measures 21x3tfx-0. The skirt has
lot packets near side seam. The coat is
of cutaway style, mannish collar and re
veres, cloaea with one button a little above
waist line, from where It slants away
towards back. The front Is In two pieces,
the back is in three but the small pieces
next to sleeves are seamed at walat where
It is buttoned trimmed. The sleeves are
regular two-piece coat style. The lining is
uf white satin and the coat has a long
vest of heavy white silk poplin. On ac
count of the stripe In material would you
favor dyeing It? (1 would like brown).
Kindly suggest a way out of this problem,
telling me what trimming, if any, to use.
.The material la like new.
I am 5 feet 3 Inches tall, weigh 123
pounds, medium brown hair and eyes,
early sb's. Tour column Is a great helf
to me and I never fall to read It. Thank
ing you, MRS. E.
Mrs. E. Your suit can be made
over into a splendid dress, but owing
to the narrow skirt It will be neces
sary to have an under drop of satin
and utilise your skirt material In the
attractive redlngote style, which, with
no front to cover will permit cutting
and placing to the front side, thus
giving to you the required fullness.

MRS. JANK Bl'HVS ALBERT TO VISIT
entertained in their home Wednesday
evening delightfully with Dr. and
Mrs. Harold Leonard Bowman and
Rev. and Mrs. Norman Kendall Tully
as honor guests.
An interesting announcement is
that of the approaching marriage of
Miss Nora Genevieve Evans and Rob
ert B. Hamilton, which will take
place next Wednesday in St. Charles
church. Rev. Father Wallace will
officiate. The bride-elect is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William
Evans and the bridegroom-to-be Is
the son of J. H. Hamilton and a mem
ber of a pioneer family of Oregon
Miss Verness Heitman will be brides
maid and Mrs. Clair Rogers will be
matron of honor. Frank Evans will
te best man. Mr. Hamilton is In the
I your material: you will find that the
I ,, I.-. hnrk lends itself beautifully.
only having to have less length andj
tho buttoned trimmed seams are an
excellent "excuse" for a new . trim
which we will take up later. The
fact that the front cuts away is also
fortunate, for after having placed
your pattern and seeing how much
of fill -in is required, you can piece
and do upon that inset an allover de
sign of ribbon. The redlngote type
will of course call for a satin panel
or vest and I would advise having
nnf In Ihp mtMm front seam. The
gltieves should be three-quarter length
. ,m ffi , . fh1
present ones to piece. Wear a nar-,
row satin girdle ending at the front
or side in long hangs and finished
with wooden beads in bright colors.
I would dye the material .and. like
you, think the brown a splendid choice
for it will look less like a suiting,
and the stripe will show little If any.
And now for the trimming. Match
the satin for the underdrop, also a
ribbon that shall be in harmony with
the brown of your material, the rib
bon to be almost a half-Inch wide,
and outline the front lines of the
waist and edges of the redlngote with
this grosgrain or clrc ribbon, making
here and there a cluster of loops re
sembling a wild rose and fill the
center with tiny wooden buttons, not
more than three or four. This is one
of the very newest trims and the ef
fect is charming. I omitted saying
that the sleeve edge should be fin
ished in the same manner, and that
the pocket on coat can be covered by
a clever extension of the design ,on
either side. The flowers should 'be
two inches in diameter. Am happy
that this department is of help to you.
FARM ROAD TO BE BUILT
Charges of Pisgah Home to Estab
lish More Aeeesslble Route.
With more jobless and homeless
men In her charge tnan ever before in
the history of the Pisgah home colony
farm near Scappoose, "Mother" Hat
tie B. Lawrence reported to the com
munity chest yesterday she will em
ploy them at road building and es
table a route that will make the farm
more accessible from Portland.
An old logging road will be opened
from the farm five and one-half miles
to Chapman Camp No. 1. This will
give a road open winter and summer
and it is planned to build eight mjjes
of good road before spring.
"Mother" Lawrence reported that
even when the saloons were operating
In the old days the number of charges
at the farm was fewer in number.
None at the farm now was paroled
from Jail, either, and all are there
voluntarily because of lack of em
ployment elsewhere.
"The colony is functioning in its
proper capacity of caring for the un
employed as never before," wrote
"Mother" Lawrence.

occurred and those who received in
juries from which they have not yet
recovered.
H. W. Hicks, traveling passenger

Tax Commission Refuses to
Approve Present Pay.
ACTION STIRS OPPOSITION
Sheriff Says Deputies Getting $145
Monthly May Not Stay After
Reduction to $123.
Throughout the courthouse yester
day afternoon agitated knots of em
ployes were discussing the impend
ing slash in salaries through the
action of the tax supervision and con
servation commission in refusing to
approve the emergency ruling per
mitting a higher schedule of wages
than specifically provided by law.
"It's a deuce of a Christmas pres
ent!" was the consensus of opinion,
mixed with heated demands as to
why the county employes, who are on
a lower salary schedule than city em
ployes, even with the emergency pay,
should be singled out by the tax com
mission as a field for economy.
It is the criminal division of the
sheriffs office probably which will
feel the cut most keenly, particularly
in view of the recent coup in which
its $145-a-month Seputies rounded up
the Liberty theater robbers. These
$145-a-month men are slated to re
ceive $125 from now on under the
new schedule.
Sheriff Makes Protest.
"Reduction of the salaries of crim
inal deputies in the face of splendid
and efficient service lasting over a
long period of years is rank injus
tice and seriously affects the morale
of my office." declared Sheriff Hurl
hurt last night. "One of these men
is getting $175 and will be cut to
$150; another receives $165 and will
draw $150 under the new arrange
ment: all others who now are getting
$145 will be cut to $125 this in face
of the fact that uniformed patrolmen
of the city force receive $140 a month
and city detectlvesj whose work Is
Similar to that of my criminal opera
tives, receive $175 a month. In Los
Angeles criminal deputies receive
$190.
"To retain high-class men at mea
ger salaries will be Impossible, and
I could not blame them for quitting.
Another thing which should be taken
Into consideration Is the fact that
deputy sheriffs do' not work on an
eight-hour schedule as do city police
men. They are here at 8 o'clock In
the morning and technically through
at 5 in the afternoon, but in truth and
rfact thesse are no weeks that some of
them do not work throughout the
night.
No Overtime Paid.
"Two nights this week one of the
$145 or $125 a month deputies lay
In waiting outside a house for a sus
pect until 4 o'clock in the morning,
beginning his vigil at 8 P. M. And
both times, after quitting his watch,
he snatched only a few hours' sleep
and reported at the office at 8 o'clock.
This is a frequent occurrence, and
under our system no overtime is paid
for such splendid service."
Sheriff Hurlburt, County Clerk
Beveridge, County Auditor Martin.
County Assessor Welch and other
county officials believe that the sal
ary schedule remaining for clerical
help Is so low that competent, experi
enced and honest men -cannot be ob
tained. In the sheriffs office, the re
ductions would affect 20 to 23 depu
ties in the circuit court department.
26 of 28 deputies in the tax depart
ment, and 10 of 11 deputies operating
the county jail. Other county offices
are affected in like proportion.
Scale Two Years Old.
The existing scale of salaries was
adopted two years ago with the rul
ing of District Attorney Evans which
held that statutory provisions for sal
aries, which did not consider high
cost eras, could be increased If de
partment heads would certify in re
quests for more money that It was
impossible to procure competent help
for less. All the county officers so
certified.
'A conference of county heads prob
ably will be- held this afternoon to
discuss ways and means. It has been
suggested' that a meeting be held
with the Multnomah delegation prior
to the special session of the legisla
ture, in the hope that the law can be
amended, the position of the tax com
mission being based chiefly on the
fact that salaries now paid are
greater than those provided specif
ically by law.

to be boiled, therefore it is cooked
first. The eggs should be cooked be
low boiling point and are, therefore,
added when the starch has been
cooked and the mixture can then be
set in hot water to secure a tempera
ture below boiling point.
There is no special object In beating
the yolks and sugar together In such
a mixture except that it is a little
safer for the beginner. It takes more
time and an extra bowl, but If you are
(julck and expert you can combine the
mixture as below.
I think "one teaspoon cornstarch"
Is not meant "level." hence I think
you would do well to try Instead one
level tablespoon cornstarch.
I do not know why the nuts are
boiled in the milk. To my mind they
are certainly best added last, so that
they are not "soggy," as the boiled
nuts tend to be. Try the following
method and let me know if It is not
v. hat you want;
Method for mixing starchy custard
with stiff egg whites. Mix the corn
starch smooth In four tablespoons cold
milk. Put the remaining mllK to
scald. Beat the egg whites stiff, add
two or three tablespoons sugar and
beat until glossy. Tour a little of the
hot milk over the cornstarch mixture,
stirring well, return to the pan, raise
to boiling point, stirring to prevent
scorching. Beat in the remaining
sugar and egg yolks, cook one minute
