Astoria Fire. If an equal area
burned in the city of Portland it
would consume everything from the
river west to Sixth street and from
Burnside to Morrison 'street. Imag
ine Portland with a black spot of
that size in its business center. It
could and may happen. With a
good start on the water front, a
strong east wind blowing, with
many poorly-constructed buildings,
undersize water mains under sev
eral streets, unprotected openings
between buildings, narrow streets
and other extremely hazardous fea
tures the chances are favorable for
a similar conflagration here at any
time. Before it happens check up
on your insurance. If it does not
amount to 80 per cent of the value
of your property call up Harvey
Wells & Company, 602 Gasco build
ing. Main 4564, and we -will protect
your property by issuing fire insur
ance policies either upon your build

MERRY Christmas to you, title
riters, and $10 to J. Leland
Morgan, Harrisburg, Or., with
our congratulations in the biggest
week yet 8000 competitors and
you, Mr. Morgan, an unknown from
the woods, under the wire a winner.
Again we say merry Christmas. You
will have your $10 and maybe have
it spent by then, but believe us you
earned it.
There is no way to figure how our
family has increased. This week we
are 8000 strong,-and every one a real
contestant The old-timers are per
sistent and the pace they set speeds
up the contest. "The Feminine
Touch" certainly describes picture
No. 7 as no other title could, but
you - who were disappointed in a
Christmas gift don't lose heart,
grab off $10 for the new year on
No. 8, where there certainly is eme
room for talent.
Just to show Mr Morgan how hard
he was rushed, let us quote some of
the others in the order they im
pressed the title-contest editor:
"A Late Settler," written by M.
C Seibert, 800 East Hoyt street;
"Mistress of the Seize," from George
W. Fisher's typewriter, located at
4536 Forty-first avenue, southeast,
Portland; Dr. Richard Fixott he
must be a dentist with his "An
Exposed Nerve"; "A Lady's Man,"
written by Bertha Staples, 102 East
Twenty-ninth street, Vancouver,
Wash.; "Taking Dictation," by P. C.
Rinehart, 1641 Sandy boulevard,
Portland; "Out in the Owe-Zone,"
from Julia Costello, 943 Cleveland
avenue, Portland, one of our steady
and persistent customers, who is
bound to win some time, if she keeps
up her speed; "She Snoops to Con
quer," by Dorothy M. Smith, 1755
Exeter street, Portland; "A Taking
Landlady," from Mrs. A. C. Red
mond of Centralia, Wash., and "Her-
Gent Business," written by James
A. Leonard, 695 Fourth street,
Portland.
One of the most fitting titles this
week seemed to be "Put and Take,"
and there were any number of plays
on "Boarder," and troubles of var
ious kinds. "Cash and Carry," and
titles along that line also were pop-

Gloves. . ' - 1
THESES are perfectly good-look-fing
green gloves, but just think
of any one being so thoughtless
as to send me a five and a half;
why, every so-called friend I have
knows I can't wear a six and a half
without tearing them the first time.
I do need a new pair badly, too. On,
well, I'll just start my next Christ

'therein one pair of green gloves;
only I must remember not to send
them back to May; she never for
gets what she gives to people.
. Vanity Bag.
.: Only ' four of these perfectly
charming little "vanity bags. I know
where they came from, I saw them
on sale last Saturday for 49 cents
each. . Well, I guess I'll keep one,
the other" three can go in the box
for next year. Last Christmas I got
two vanity bags, this Christmas
four. If I get eight the next and
sixteen the next, and keep doubling
up. my Lord, I'll have enough to
supply the world in a few years.
Who knows, I may be able to' create
a corner on vanity bags. At least
there is no necessity for my having
a shiny nose. ;
Vndiea. ;
This crepe de chine combination
is the sweetest thing I ever saw;
It's so filmy, and dainty, I just love
it; and the ribbon camisole is just
darling; but these hand-embroidered

all. Bo-oh, it's cold in this room;
and, being so cold, makes me won

Books.
Six books. I just must take time
to glance at them. . Lamb"s "Essays
of Elia." Good Lord! I never could
stand essays. "Old China, and Poor
Relations" well, what do you know
about this? He says: "A male poor
relation is an affliction; but there
is a worse evil under the sun, and
that is a female poor relation." The
very idea! "You may pass him off
tolerably well, but your indigent
she-relative is hopeless." Pretty
good; I'll have to take a day off and
read ail of that book, some time.
"Ail for Love," by Dementia Jones.
I. hope this is good and ends well,
for I do adore a good love story.
"What's Wrong With the Women,"
by Won Whoknows. Now, what on
earth is wrong with the women I
should like to know? Some of them
may smoke a bit and swear a bit,
and drink. a little moonshine once in
a while; but I'll tell the world they
will average up with any men I
have 'seen. I will sure have to read
this book, and see how much Won
Whoknows really does know.
This small volume is called "The
Rubaiyat," by a man called Omar
Khayyam. Wonder who he is? He
is telling some one to get up in
the morning; then the rooster crows,
and he raves about wine and time
and love. Over here he seems to
be talking about the movies, for
he says: "We are no other than
a moving row of magic shadow
shapes that come and go, round
with the sun illumined lantern held
in midnight by the master of the
show." Sounds awful queer to me.
Oh, well, I'll read all of that little
story sometime.
"Quotations From the Great."
Here is a man by the name of
Beecher, who says: "There is no day
born but comes like a stroke of
music into the world." I wish he
could hear that cracked bell that
tells me every morning that a new
day is born. I'll wager: he would
never again talk about day being
ushered in with music. Funny no
tions some folks have.
Oh, here's one by Brane Haye,
"The Lone Star Stranger.". I do
think Brane Haye is such a won
derful writer. Ynu have to read
and awful lot and don't get much
out of it, but it's interesting while
you are doing it, I'll put the others
away and read this first, and the
one by Dementia Jones next.

Three new songs. I like the looks
of this one "Down Where the

L. D. McArdle, director of the de

Thursday. The savings are re

ministration. In this connection Mr. McArdle
gave an explanation of what is
meant by "savings," as the term is
used in connection with the admin
istration of state funds. It is tlyit

by the 1921 legislature for tire bien

October 31, Mr. McArdle explained.
Instead, there had been expended
but 72.76 per cent of the total, or
$42,388,517.89. The indicated saving
as of that date was. therefore, 6.407
per cent, or $3,732,648.28.
Of the $58,258,364.22 appropriated
by the 1921 legislature, the largest
part, or $42,202,199.81, was for
capital outlay, which includes work
men's compensation, veterans' bonus,
building and construction funds,
highway construction funds, etc.
Of this amount $31,506,003.45 was
expended on October 31, or 74.655

"The Post-Victorian . Epoch of
English Litetrature" was the . sub
ject for this year's chancellor's prize
competition. Flints prize manu
script was about 70 pages in length
and since has been placed in the
hands of one of the leading London
editors who is considering its pub
lication. Unusual distinction for its winner
is borne by the chancellor's prize,
In that it is a "university honor" for
which- competition is open to the
students of 21 colleges composing
Oxford university.
Flint, who is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Frank K. Flint of Salem, was
the first Reed college graduate to
enter Oxford as a Rhodes scholar.
Following a career of unsurpassed
scholastic excellence at Reed, which
terminated in June, 1919, he re
ceived the scholarship award simul
taneously with Stevens'on Smith,
also a Reed college graduate, in
December of that year. Flint, how
ever, entered Oxford in January,
1920, while Smith did not matricu
late until the following September.
At Oxford. Flint was a member of
Balliol college and a student of
English. It has been reported un
officially that since his graduation
last June he has been added to the
teaching staff in Balliol college.
Following is an excerpt from
Flint's i correspondence describing
the Encaenia as he first visualized
three years ago the annual cere
mony in which later he was to par-
ticipate as the first American:
"At noon, I went to the En
caenia,' a ceremony at which the
distinguished men receive honorary
degrees, and various prize compo
sitions for English essays are re
cited. Two of the most distinguished
men this year were Paderewski and
Venizelos. ' The ceremony is very
impressive, beeauy the professors
all wear gowns otolid scarlet, the
vice-chancellor is preceded by four
proctors bearing maces and the pub
lic orator reads a long speech in
Latin about each presentee."

SOUTH BEND, Wash., Dec. 23.
(Special.) Rev. Thomas B. Wood,
D. D., LL. D., father of Mrs. F. A.
Hazeltine, with whom he had been
staying this winter,' died last Mon
day morning in Tacoma after a pro
tracted illness. Dr. Wood was a
striking . figure in the history of
South America and Methodism. He
was a college president, astronomer,
author, orator, statesman and diplo
mat; 43 years a missionary, during
which time he was for years prac
tically at the head of the extensive
Methodist mission work in South
America, and his plans are still be
ing followed, though failing health
compelled his withdrawal. He re
moved to Tacoma about 16 years ago.
Such an orator was Dr. Wood and
such a command of the Spanish
language had he, that he was in de
mand everywhere on public occasons
as a speaker. He was also a fine
German scholar and his last great
work was the translation of the
books of Luke into the language of
the Incas.
Dr. Wood represented South Amer
