PARIS IIATS EEACH
HIGH WATER MARK
Milliner D la tributes $18,000 Among
Her Employes as Result of
Boom.
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. IXC0ME FOR CAPTAIN

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.
COUNTERFEITER HANDS OUT LEMON

Counterfeiters In several parts of the

not being particular regarding the Ink.
the result being that his new bill Is the

the orange shade in the genuine bills.
