TIFE STJXDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 12, 1909. Women's Tresses Now Harking Back to the Days of Simple, .Classic, Greek Style of Headdress Vogue of the Pompadour and Towering Puffs Is Gradual Waning, and Many Little Bits of Artificial Arrange ments Are Doomed Fair Sex Re jokes Over the Welcome Change. ) 1 (?) ,SKSsV LlL i jew ' 'I i - '-J THE pompadour and the towering puffs have quite decidedly had their day. and now comes the edict that the dangling short curls and elab orate puffs, buildcd out at the back of the head, are also doomed. From the monstrous coiffure laden with curls, coils and puffs, frankly artificial, we are to drop back Into the simple, classic Greek styles, and the new fashions are all to be tn the low, flat effects, enhanced ex travagantly with dainty and artistic orna ments, of quaint design and workman ship. This mandate from the world's centers of fashion will probably bring almost uni versal feminine rejoicing, for In most oases the new mode of hair-dressing will be more becomng than the extravagant arrangement of "rats'' and false puffs and curia when, have been the great bane and burden of the feminine toilette through the past season. It will be a re lief. Indeed, to be able to cast aside all these artificial aids ' to fashion : and beauty, and Instead, to merely coll one's balds simply abmit one's head, thrust In a dainty ornament and leave a vagrant curl or two to stray softenlngly about the forehead, and yet know one's tresses are not only comfortably and becomingly arranged, but fashionably as well. The "Aureole" Popular. One of the prettiest of the new modes Is called the "aureole." which is the name for a charming coiffure, to accomplish OUTCRY AGAINST EXCESSIVE ILLUMINATION Many New Yorkers Don't Want Night Turned Into Day at Hudson Fulton Celebration Fame' of Heroes Is Short-Lived Liquor Trade Reforming Itself. " TRY IJ.OTD T. LOXEHGAN. I EW TOP.T;. Sept. 11. Speclal.) Ths N announced Intention of the Hudson Fulton celebration commission to "turn night into day" has. strange to say, caused loud protests from many citizens. All the papers have been printing letters from readers who believe that the won "derful lighting effects will -be the worst thing that could possibly happen. The reasons they give for this belief cover practically every ground. Several mothers have written that It will be Im possible for their Infants to sleep DVftits. Thrifty Individuals figure that the result will be out of aU proportion to the ex pense. Several timorous souls declare that all of these wires immensely increase the danger of fire, while others content themselves with the statement that It is "silly and bound to be a nuisance." One man who writes to the Evening Journal expresses the fear that the il lumination '"will tend to make people dis contented." The way he looks at It is that after eight nights of glaring light the return to comparative darkness will cause discontent and perhaps a move ment to turn night into day at all times, and be Is convinced that we have more than enough light at present, especially In the theatrical section. Millions of Electric Bulbs. Despite these walls, the work Is golne steadily ahead, and every electrician In town is working night and day. Borne Idea of how we mean to shine may be gathered from the fact that In addition to the lights regularly used there will be an Illumination of approx imately 26.MD.O0O candle power, and this stlmate does not Include the hundreds of thousands of separate lights which the various electric lighting, display adver tising and other firms contracted for. The display will begin on Saturday, I , CCaWMK r " I 1 I V . Ti l . If which one simply twines the hair like a halo about the forehead, shadowing th ears and outlining the head without In any way detracting from Its contour. First, the hair la combed away from the crown of the head, and the old-fashioned round comb of our childhood is used to hold It In place and provide a foundation; upon this the hair Is wound loosely about the head, as shown In sketch No. 1, a ribbon band of velvet, or a jeweled band of gold or silver finishing the coiffure, A slight waving or rippling of the hair, for arrangement In this mode softens its se verity and adds to its charm. Just the tips of the ears are left visible, as In the famous "Madonna" coiffure of the French beauty, Cleo de Merode, and the encir cling band Is most frequently of gold in oak leaf, or similar design. Sketch No. 3 gives an Idea of the flat ness and great width across the front, also the very low arrangement over the forehead. In this coiffure, a loose twist or plait Is drawn across the forehead, the ends disappearing In the waves and curls underneath, and an ornamental band dividing the pVit from the loosely waved "bank" effect over the forehead. The back Is a graceful modification of the French knot, and a barette, match ing the bandeau at the front. Is worn underneath it. Part Hair on the Side. The coquettish side-parting figures, too. in the tiew modes, as shown -in the girlish coiffure sketched in No. B. The hair Is drawn away In billowy waves, and a bandeau of French enamel, studded with stones, encircles the crown, low September 35. and continue each evening during the celebration from 6:30 to 12:30. An immense battery of search lights at Riverside Drive and One hundred and Tenth street will make the river as bright as day for miles up and down. The largest number of lights on one structure will be on the Queensboro bridge, where there will be 14.000. The Brooklyn bridge will be close behind with 13.000. Alonff tne Manhattan line of parade there will 25.500. placed In fes toons along the curb line. In Manhattan the City Hall will be elaborately Illumi nated, as will also practically all the publlo buildings. The average New Yorker does not seem to realise that the late of a great event is rapidly approaching. None of the pa pers devote much attention to the affair, and the detailed programme Is a mystery to most people. One reason for this Is that there has been practically no press work. It Is probably safe to say that 30 out of every luO adults In Manhattan are blissfully unaware of the fact that there Is to be a Hudson-Fulton celebration this month, while of the 80 who do know about It not more than five could tell what events are scheduled. The hotelkeepers and theatrical managers expect to reap a harvest, but outside of their ranks the attitude of the public can best be de scribed as a "lack of knowledge, rather than a lack of Interest." Cook's Fame Soon to B,a Forgotten. Dr. Cook will certainly have a great reception when he returns to America and the fact that his home for several years has been in Brooklyn causes much enthusiasm In.' the borough across the river. But if he Is desirous of making any money out of his fame It is up to him to hurry. For a hero Is never a hero for a very long time at least In the East. Admiral Dewey, Congressman Hobsun ox General i over the forehead. In this, as in all the new styles, the idea Is to keep in mind the broad, low. close-to-the-head effects In front, and width in the back. The nair Is raised high up from the back of the neck, thus preserving the contour of the head artistically. Another side parting Is shown In No. 7. In this tne hair is drawn down over tne forehead in a deep wave, and the width at the sides Is even more exaggerated. This style forms a complete frame for the face. Among the many new ornaments' are the little spherical bits of gold, sliver or translucent substances, which top the combs, or single pins which are 'to oe thrust through the finished coiffure, hit-and-miss style. Sketch No. 6 shows a row of these little pins of spherical heads, thrust comb fashion, down through the low arrange ments of the hair at the back. Jewel studded bandeau and quaint ornaments of all sixes and designs are being shown, and will be used lavishly. Patterns In jet, shell, gold, enamel and .French bril liants, running the gamut from the tin iest ornamental hairpin to Imposing coro nets, are Indorsed with the Parisian stamp for the coming season. Some of the bandeaus come in two or three sec tions, and these are very easily adjusted to any style of hair dressing. A pretty schoolgirl coiffure Is shown in No. 8. and one of the most charming ef fects in the loosely waved modes is that sketched in No: 2. No. 4 shows the rear arrangement of one of the side-part coif fures, the Intertwining ribbon completely encircling the crown. Fred Funston, who had the center of the stage during the Spanish-American War, could not fill Carnegie Hall today unless admission was free, and perhaps not even then. Even Jack Blnns, the heroic wireless operator on the Republic, Is down and out and is working at Coney Island In a show that is doing very poor business. Blnns went into court the other day to secure an Injunction against a mov ing-picture concern which was featuring another man as him without permission. The judge refused the order on the ground that "any damage that might be done was already done" and intimated that Blnns little hour of fame had passed. One of the best-known theatrical men In New York, In discussing the case of Dr. Cook the other day, said: T would be willing to pay Dr. Cook $5000 a week for 30 weeks, but after that I would not care to handle him. As an attraction ln.New York, he would make big money for six weeks, but after that he would be obliged to go on the road. Scientific men and societies, of course, would retain their Interest, but the gen eral public Is not scientific." To show how heroes pass out of mind It might be mentioned that.no New York City editor thought of Interviewing Ser geant Long at the Weather Bureau and he was one of the heroes of the Greeley expedition and now a resident of this city. He was a pretty good little hero, too, that same Sergeant Long. Liquor Men to Stamp Out Dives. . The New York State Wine, Liquor & Beer Dealers' Association has taken the warpath against objectionable houses, dives and disorderly resorts and hopes to have them all stamped out by October. With this end in view, they have named a committee to confer with the Commit tee of Fourteen und other bodies of cltt xens. "We are driven to this course in self- defense," declares a leading member of the committee. "The gains made by the prohibition element are naturally causing us alarm, and we must put our house In order before the fanatics start a battle in our state. "The matter of regulation Is clearly up to this brewers, and if they fail to help us we will see that the responsibility is placed on their shoulders. We have pre pared a list of resorts that shoulfl be driven out of business. It is up to the brewers to refuse to sell to these parties unless they promise to reform and live up to that promise. "Many brewers have gravely dis cussed the necessity of 'doing some thing to appeal to the moral element." Well, we have shown them what to do; and 'will expert them to make good. If Uiey fail to do so, we nave another trick up our sleeves which should prove successful." Schools In Wrong Places. The New York schools will open Monday, and from the advance figures 65.800 children will be on part time. At the present time the city has no less than SO vacant school sites, and the charge Is made that many of these are in localities where there are already sufficient accommodations and where for many years there will probably be no occasion for the erection of new schools. In fact it is stated that the Board of . Estimate has appropriated $4,688,800 for school sites without caus ing an accurate investigation to be made as to- the needs of each locality. The Bureau of Municipal Research, which has carefully Investigated the nroblem. declares that the fault rests on the shoulders of the "Board of Edu cation. There are schools enough to seat all pupils. It is said, but the build ings are not properly located. "The whole problem." says the bu reau's report, "would be solved if the Board of Estimate and the Board of Education would stop working In the dark and get some accurate Informa tion on the possibilities of consolida tion and leasing. And It must be frank ly admitted that the present shortage, so far as it was at all preventable. Is due to causes entirely within the con trol of the Board of Education." Will the Board of Education do any thing to remedy this trouble? Nobody who knows our venerable officeholders believes It. If the new style hats look like they sound, they certainly will be funny. The National Association of Milliners has put the ban on the peach basket, but has recommended the "aeroplane" hat for the Winter -months. This new creation represents an airship In shape, having a curved brim and two long, graceful feathers on either end. Of course the price Is in proportion. Another novelty which will try tne patience of long-suffering husbands Is the "Dr. Cook hat." It seems as high aas the cartoonists pictures oi mo North Pole, but is really only two leet tall. The material is brown fur, fuzzy and expensive, and guaranteed to make the average woman look like an in toxicated drum major. But of course, If they are "the style," they are bound to -be in evidence. Women as Big Taxpayers. The suffragists are making much of the fact that women have contributed enormously to the state's inheritance tax receipts. Of the 45 largest inheri tance taxpayers in New York City dur ing the present year, -26 are those of women. For example, the estate of Miss Mary G. Pinckney, who was noted tor ner e-reat charities, contributed iJOO.OuU; Matilda W. Bruce's estate was mulcted of $207,073.21 Elizabeth S. Van Buren is credited with having put $107,000 "Into the treasury while $84,887.96 came from Sarah H. Dodge. Excepting the $146,000 credited to Louis A. Heinshelmer, no man In New York County approaches these figures, which are being used among the argu ments in the present active "votes for women" crusade. New York Hebrews, under the leader ship of Jacob H. Schfff, the banker, have formed an official committee for the pur pose'of diverting Jewish emigration from the Eastern ports to Galveston. Henry .Berman, of Philadelphia, a young news paper man- and author, has been ap pointed Galveston agent of this commit tee. He has been supplied with prac tically unlimited funds, and will look after the Interests of the immigrants who land at that port The promoters of the Idea believe that Immigrants will have a better chance to succeed in Texas than they would here, and are devoting time and money to prove it. Israel Zangwell is one of the prominent Israelites who are working hand In hand with them. Terry Not Widower After All. Friends of George S. Terry, Assistant Treasurer of the United States, were surprised the other day when" his wife sued for back alimony. Most of Mr. Terry's associates believed he was. a widower, but the suit develops that the couple were separated 29 years ago. All that Mr. Terry has had to say on the subject is contained In the following statement: "I separated from my wife 29 years ago for good and sufficient reasons, which I decline to discuss, and have not seen her for over 27 years." In 1902, Mrs. Terry, having hired de tectives1 to watch her husband, decided to bring a suit for divorce. He was served with the complaint and summons, but before the time expired for him to file an answer, a private agreement was reached, and the case never got In the calendar. Furthermore, It did not attain any publicity. Mr. Terry, at that time, promised to pay $100 a month. The wife says that she received the cash regularly for one year, but has not got a penny since. As the statute of limitations would soon be come operative ana Dar ner recovering the money, iMrs. Terry decided to secure a judgment. Populous Office Buildings, The new city directory for the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx has just been- Issued and contains 502,769 names. Of interest to Tammany Is the fact that the lower East Side shows a decrease. due in part to the demolition of tenement buildings for bridge extensions, erection of factories and removal to the eastern district to Brooklyn. The greatest Increase In population was found to be In the Washington Heights and Bronx sections. An interesting fact was that In four office buildings more than 6000 names were secured. These structures are the Hudson Terminal. Singer building. City Investment building and the Met ropolitan Life. While these buildings are almost fully tenanted, there are not many vacant business buildings, a condition which Illustrates the won derful increase of our commercial ac tivity. Waiter Building Airships. Waiters have figured In many kinds of news stories, but Hugo C. Well, of the staff of the Waldorf-Astoria, Is in a class by himself. For Mr. Well just Invented an airship, then saved up his tips' uatil he had money enough to pay for building it. "My biplane Is like the Wright ma chine," he explains, "except that I have added a tall, which I think will give greater control. I have experimented with several models and the result convinced me that It would pay to go ahead and .build. So I saved up my money and am now in position to make a practical trial." It certainly is a good Joke on Well's patrons that the money they contrib uted, perhaps under protest, should be sunk (or is It raised?) -in an airship. .

"It Is fortunate that I went tnrougn this experience in season to learn something to the benefit of these prisoners. I am convinced that they were illegally and unjustly arrested on their way to their homes by a petty and Insolent underling, who imagined that his blue suit and brass buttons gave him supervisory authority- over his fellow men." . . When a police magistrate starts to do stunts with the English language he generally wins out. For "petty and Insolent underling," and "supervisory authority," are certainly harsh words when addressed to a $2 a day B. R. T. special policeman. Lessons In Honesty. Hundreds of people who passed th Manhattan end of the Brooklyn bridge the other day noticed a parcel tied with light string, resting on the . top of a mail-box. Next day they learned that the naclcaee contained $1200 in small bills, and many of them had nearlv had nervous prostration. For the average New Yorker is only rea sonably honest. Several weeks ago Treasurer F. D. Waterman laid a package of money on the desk of John E. Hayes at No. IB Maiden Lane. It was the weekly payroll of the Aiken-Lambert Company. Then Waterman stepped away not more than 25 feet and when he returned 15 minutes later the money was gone. In addition to Waterman and Hayes there were five other employes In the room. Each one denied that he had been near the desk. All were searched before they left, but the money was not found. Detectives who wen called In could not find a clew. When the money was returned an unsigned note was Inclosed,- In the handwriting of a man. It said: "I return this to you because I can not face my holy priest with a on my conscience." theft And the interesting fact Is that, so far as is known, none of the seven men who were in the room at the time of the robbery are Catholics. The com pany, however, liappy over the return of the money, will not Investigate the case further. Another "Knock" for Jerome. The Third-avenue Railroad, once a highly prosperous concern, fell into the hands of disciples of high finance and was " robbed and ruined. Everybody agrees that the road s treasury was looted of $16,000,000, but no determined effort has ever been made to punish the guilty parties. Now, however, an organization of property-owners has been formed for the pur pose of enforcing restitution of the plun der and putting the guilty parties in Sing Sing, if possible. Most of the persons In terested are poor, some of them pitifully so, and the contest Is a battle of pennies against one hundred dollar bills. But they are mighty earnest about it. Colonel W. N. Amory, ex-secretary of the Third avenue road. Is one of the leading spirits in the movement. In open ing the meeting, he said: There Is no other way than this to re cover the stolen millions and punish the sullty men. and It Is clearly the' business of the stockholders to do It. District Attorney Jerome was fully apprised of all this steal ing, but - did nothing- He could have sent the millionaire malefactors to Sins Sins la 1902. but he has been using the great power of his office to save them. But there la to he nn election this Fall, and I think there will be an honest District Attorney elected in Jerome's place. The general public wishes them good luck in their venture, but seemingly there Is mighty little chance for the victimized Innocents ever to .recover anything. By the first of the year It will possible to go underground from New York to Queens County.

BY EMIL.IE FRANCES BATTER. IN the quiet little Oregon town of Aurora,1 Henry T. Finck, the noted critic of the Evening Post and the author of several books upon musical topics, spent a Summer, the fruits of which will be given to the world early in October by the Scribner publishing house. Mr. and Mrs. Finck knew the inspiration to be found In the quiet of that spot, and after an Interesting trip through Southern California and Ari zona, they remained quietly all Summer In Aurora. In these days, when distances are annihilated and time is reduced to mere suggestion, the noted musical critic had a visit from the one who would gladly pen impressions, had they not been so varied and so sweeping. Knowing him In the rush and whirl of his busy New York season. It was quite overwhelm ing to find him fresh and rested, a farmer for a few hours of every day deep in the proof sheets of a book which will be a delight to those who can appreciate honesty and understand ing of the present-day musical condi tions. But it would not be fair to anti cipate, therefore It must be enough to describe the outdoor life of Henry T. Finck, whose childhood was spent In Oregon, Imbibing the atmosphere which later made him a lover of all that is sincere, honest, true to nature and full of beauty In the profession to which he was called and which he has filled to his own credit and to the benefit of all who know and read him. During Mr. Finck's trip through Southern California his path lay with that of John Burroughs, the ' great nature lover; WMlllam Keith, Califor nia's greatest painter, and Luther Bur bank, all of whom, with Mr. Finck, have added their chapters to the great book of nature from which they have drunk deep and shared their benefits with the world less able to see and to under stand. A wonderful quartet, these men, and one -which has the same fountain head for inspiration and the same hon esty of purpose in life as the common man ofthe world. In a tiny little house. Immaculate and Inviting, from the back door of which GROWS HAIR and we can PROVE IT! A lady from Minnesota writes: 1 "Asa result of usine Danderine, my hair is close to five feet in length." Beautiful Hair at Small Cost HAIR troubles, like many other diseases, have been wrongly diagnosed and altogether mis understood. The hair itself is not the thing to be treated, ior the reason that it is simply a product of the scalp and wholly dependent npon its action. The scalo is the very soil in which the hair is pro duced, nurtured and grown, and it alone should receive the attention it results are to De expectea. It would do no earthly good to treat the stem of a plant with a view of making It grow and become more beautiful the soil in which the plant grows must be attended to. Therefore, the scalp in which the hair grows must receive the attention if you arc to expect It to grow and become more beautiful.' Loss of hair is caused bv the scmlo drying an. or losing its supply of moisture or nutriment; when baldness occurs tne scaip nas simply lost an lis nourishment, leaving nothing for the hair to feed upon (a plant or even a tree would die under similar conditions.) , The natural thing to do In either case, is to feed and replenish the soil or scalp as the case may be, and your crop will grow and multiply as nature intended it should. Knowlton's Danderine .has m most wonder ful effect upon the hair glands and tissues of the scalp. It is the only remedy for the hair ever discovered that Is similar to the natural hair foods or liquids of the scalp. It penetrates the pores quickly and the hair toon shows the effects of its wonderfully exhilar ating and life-producing qualities.

Yamhill may be seen the building In which Mr, Finck spent his childhood, and the win dow out of which he dreamily looked away over the beautiful rolling hills, I found the . brilliant writer, healthy, rosy and with ever so many additional pounds of muscle. This he did not gain at bis writing table, but In the srarden, every corner of which has had his personal attention. Every 'flower m the flaming carpet and cover of the rustic fences proclaim his presence loudly. He. was digging a trench when I ar rived upon the scene. Digging Is a. natural occupation for Mr. Finck he digs and plants, and his spirit and per sonality fertilize and irrigate the seeds he Imbeds. True, be does not always have as fertile soil as that in the gar den of his sister's delightful home In, Aurora, but few men see more luscious fruits of their labors. Nor Is the writer a man of limita tions; indeed,' there Is little doubt that he could put Into words the life work of Mr. Burbank as well as that of Ed ward MacDowell, Grieg or any of the musicians who have made history, be cause he feels music as a phase of na ture, wide and all-comprehensive, and, he knows it the better because he: knows its companions In art. and that, with its companions, tt Is the offspring1 of nature. While Mr. Finck Is In the limelight, neither he nor any one who knows him. at his work forgets the share that Mrs. Finck plays In his daily life. Her Sum mer has been one of help, both as amanuensis and as proofreader', to say; naught of the inspiration of her com panionship and intelligent sympathies. The systematic manner In which he writes and arranges his work would make the wily believe that writing books is really a trifling matter, if Mr. Finck's calm, quiet manner of mov ing ahead be all the excitement that Is Involved. During these Summer days, busy though ha be, there Is naught that betrays the erudite, thoughtful, distinguished man, who no longer belongs to Oregon, to Missouri, or to New York, but to the world. The first was his .birthplace, the second his childhood's environment, the third is his field of labor and the world is his home. . 1 & " & i . l i
