Paris. March IL The moet profitable business in Paris lust now Is that of the milliners. There Is a boom in hats, which have reached high water mark in elaborateness and price, and the r"ar i.i.a aA.an la an anamored of the ores- ent style In millinery that she will pay almost anything for a ohlo model. One milliner naa ooinea raonaj an extent elnce last autumn that on New Year's day she distributed a sum of $18,000 In presents among her hands. Her leading employe draws a modest salary of $14,000 a year. The reason of the boom is the mod ern woman's need not only for expensive bate, but for many of them. It appears that almost every hour ol tne aay caua for a different hat What la worn at a tea party at a pri vate house will not do for tea In a tea shop. The hat that eults a classical Flcture show would be hopelessly wrong or an Impressionist exhibition. At concerts the millinery depends upon the program, and there are Claude Debussy hats, as there are Beethoven hats, and Richard Strauss hats, and hat for orchestral music, and hats for cham ber music There are also special hats for M. Jules Lemaltre's lectures on Racine, now drawing all Paris, and different hats for the different plays about which he lectures. As $50 Is said to be a common price for one of these harmonious hats, and $200 Is not considered an absurd figure, the boom In the millinery trade is ex plained.

' i STATEIKIENTiONEHlCKET ArTER mHE RRIIV1AR1ES Plan to Nominate Candidate s by Petition Is .Rcceiviiur FaTorable Consideration All Over the State Real Is sue Gradually Being Understood by the Voters. . v ; Voters of Oregon, awakening to the real Issue before the people In the coming election, are preparing to see that In every district and county the fight for or against Statement No. 1 shall be clearly defined and definitely settled. In order to make the Issue plain. It Is now being planned to put forward full Statement No. 1 tickets by petition after the primaries in all those counties and districts where can didates supporting the principle have not been nominated In the primaries. Voters throughout the state now real ise that it Is not a question of a Repub lican or a Democratic senator; It le not a question of Fulton or Cake or Cham berlain, or any Individual, but the Issue Is whether or not the people of Oregon shall oontlnue to hold the power of de termining by their votes who shall serve the state in Washington. They are be ginning to see that It Is a question of whether the people shall rule or the machine and tne bos Because thla knowledge has come plainly before the peoble the one main Issue of the preseni campaign Is reoog nlsed to be tne Issue Involved In State ment No. 1. In nearly every district and county the issue Is dearly defined. In most of the oountlee and districts all legislative candldateahave come out either for or against Statement No. 1 and the battle will be fought on that Issue. Begin to Understand. In some counties, as In Washington and Wasco, few or no Statement No. 1 candidates have appeared. In these counties the legislative candidates have pledged themselves to vote for the "Re publican choice" or have remained un pledged. But In these counties, and In other districts where full Statement No. 1 tickets have not appeared, a disposi tion Is being shown to put up State ment No. 1 men as Independent candi dates as soon as the primaries are over. Blow to see the true significance of the fight being waged around Statement No. 1 and befogged by the machine manipulators' bugaboo of a Demoeratlo United States senator a large number of the voters throughout the state at first looked askance at Statement No. 1. Beginning to eee It now In Its rue light the meaning of the opposition to Statement No. 1, these same voters are turning In great masses to the support of their principle of direct election se cured to them by their own ballots sev eral years ago.
