CONGRESSIONAL MODESTY.
i It is an interesting question for de
bate, whether social customs as re
sects clothes are- growing more for
mal or not. As respects women the
drift may still be toward convention
ality. Yet working women have al
v.ays been unconventional. But as
soon as people acquire some money
and leisure they pay down their good
money for cost.y dressmakers wno i
can produce style.
No sntscr!; t!cns for less than three In the case of men the drift seems
months. All sulscriptions dropped at tbe otDer wav. There are, of course,
eipiration unless rTral is received. cepUonSi as for instance, the great
In ordering chances of the piper number of young men who even In
always rive the old street address or C0llntry villages now dazzle the na-postoffice-
as well as the new. he splendor of dresg guit.
Entered at tie Ashland, Oregon, I In many moderate sized towns the
Postoffice as second-class mall mat-; mannerg 0f great cilles are aped by
ter ' wearing tuxedo suits to concerts, the
atrical performances and Informal
dinners and dances.
But there is a very considerable
movement against costly clothes for
school functions, 6ecn both in the
simple home-made gowns worn by"
many graduating classes of girls, and
in the rule of no dress Buits for the
boys at promenade dances In many,
cities.
The decline of the "plug" hat is
still more significant. It still ap
pears on the socially pretentious at
many certified functions. But In the
business district it Is seen mostly on
Indian doctors and circus and theatri
cal agents. Formerly many business
men felt it necessary for the dignity
of their position. The bank clerk is
much more apt to wear it today than
the bank president. Even the semi
formal derby Is less in favor than
comfortable soft hats, which can be
dropped on the floor without catastro
phe, and do not blow off the head In
every winter wind.
To most men clothes are but a
mere Incident of life. Anything that
will look neat and feel comfortable
in a busy life is the ideal. Conven
tional forms are sure to be swept
away, as remnants of the decorative
and archaic medieval life when men
wore powdered wigs and plush knee
breeches.
Members of the prfsent congress
have been more modst than usual in
betting down their biographical
claims to fame in the congressional
directory.
The encomiums heaped upon them-
selves by self-adiulring law-makers;
used to provide much diversion for J
the newspaper Correspondents, and j
through them for the people back
fcoftie. But either the law-makers .
dont esteem themselves so highly as
they used to, or else they are more
circumspect in letting their egotism
leak out under their own signatures.
There are still some signs of frank
self-appreciation In the new direc
tory. Senator Du Pont of Delaware,
for example, requires two-thirds of
a page to tell of his military and po
litical career. Representatives Baker
of California and "Cyclone" Davis of
Texas use up nearly a page apiece In
complacent exposition of their own
records. Congressman Britten of
Chicago proudly sots forth that he Is
the only republican who defeated a
sitting member for re-election to the
Bixty-third congress. But even these
efforts lack the old flamboyant tone,
and there are no such radiant utter
ances as that In which Senator
Thompson of Kansas and Representa
tive Llttlepage of West Virginia, in
their first attempts, predicted glori
ous futures for themselves.
There was blank amazement in
Washington a few years ago when
Representative Lindbergh of Minne
sota confined his autobiography' to
his name and three additional words
"Republican, Littel Falls." There
are a dozen or more such entries In
the present directory. Senator Lane
of Oregon takes the palm for digni
fied modesty In this full-orbed bio
graphical statement: "Harry Lane,
Democrat."
All of which seems to indicate that
old-fashioned American spread-eagle-
ness is really vanishing from its last
etronghold the United States congress.
Coffee
The even grinding and
the careful removal of
chaff are not to make
Schilling's Best look bet
ter; but to make it taste
better.
Muddy, half-strength
coffee often comes from
uneven grinding ama
teur grinding. Chaff is
bitter-tasting.
We take no chances with

gaodwill is too important.

THE AGE OF METALS.
An age usually gets tagged after
It has been lived through. There was
the ancient "age of bronze" and the
much more modern "golden age of
literature," but the present can eas
ily be labeled In transit
Some might call it the age of the
flying machine, others the electrical
age, but the most exact name would
be "the age of metals," without
which neither the flying machine nor
the electric motor would be possible.
The world is just beginning to com
prehend the vast amount of the vari
ous metals required in modern war
fare. We read that Germany is even
stripping the roofs of her old church
es of their copper.
How is this copper used?
In many ways, but the principal are
the following: For the cartridge
cases of rifle and quick-firing ammu
nition; for the rifling band, plug and
firing head of large calibre shells;
for telephone and telegraph wires,
for gun parts, and for a long list of
miscellaneous purposes.
A large part of this copper, prob
ably the larger part, is used in the
form of brass, wherefore there is co
incidently a consumption of an im
mense quantity of spelter about one
pound of spelter for every two pounds
of copper. Spelter also is used in

THE OTHER FELLOWS SAY.
LEAP-YEAR PRECAUTIONS.
' (Oregonlan.)
With leap year arrived and the pos
sibility at hand of marriage proposals
from the rapidly Increasing left-over
crop of potential housewives, an emi
nent feminist has come forward with
a word of advice, and warning to those
of her sex who intend to take full ad
vantage of the season. Miss Lucille
runli, female bachelor, feminist, suf
fragist tind lawyer, announces that it
is entirely right that girls propose to
the man of their choice. But, she
warns, "look up his rating, first."
While Miss Push mentions no sum
that the prospective husband should
have by way of permanent income, it
is apparent that she regards only
those of considerable means eligible
or worthy of consideration, since
everyone knows that the mere $200
a month office man is not rated by
Bradstreet's or Dun.
No serious fault need be found with
this warning. There are those Ideal
ists who will prate of love In a cot
tage, but as a matter of fact there Is
aound wisdom in looking carefully be
fore leaping even in leap year. A girl
does well to make certain that she Is
marrying a man who will be able to
support her and whose prospects of
advancement, under her careful man
agement, are reasonably bright. But
while tbe subject Is under considera
tion it does seem that some Samaritan
should utter a word of solemn warn
ing to tbe men. The hazard ia one
elded by no manner of emans. So
when tbe young woman, baring In
formed herself as to the man'i rating
and desirability, presents tbe ques
tion Id concrete form, it might be well
Just to make sure, hadn't Mr. Lan
sing better send a special copy of our
