t Mr. Blacker ' has - written numerous
articles on pottery :, previous to this;
indeed It la at the solicitation of many
who have read bis other articles, that
the present,, book has been - compiled.
kTha author shows us that, as far back
.' as pottery can be traped: It is an in
tarestlng study, I4ks every other step
along- the path from savagery to civili
sation, pottery .was born, :' no doubt,
' through accident, and the accident cre
atad the necessity which eventually pro
i duoed oiotiJ'r'v:r",!
Mr. Blacker says: The rain fell, the
clay became moist; in the-molst state
It could easily be moulded. The sun
shone, and Its heat. In those countries
stanMtllv rirv.aiui hnt n hardnMstA
tha moulded form, which was retained
until tha damp caused it to - fall to
pieces. Tha moulded vessel was placed
upon the fire,' and the discovery ..was
made that, burning in the fierce fire
gave such , a degree of hardness that
enough of: vitrification or glazing took
place : to enable' the domestic vessel :to
assume a permanent form and to hold
. water. Little by little this 'knowledge
pread.'- The accidental discovery of
"cjaye containing, more or. less glassy

as well aS to an Increasing demand for
tha products of the cotter. Thou ah
i common natural clay suDDlied materlafl
suitable enough for common pottery,
soon- It happened that some clays Were
observed to be better than others even
. for this purpose; and whilst the meth
ods employod, and-tha degree of heat
secured, were somewhat, the same, the
advantages obtained by washing and
mixing the clay marked tha nest step
forward. Then followed the ertilclal
preparation" of clay for pottery, but
thla process was not employed Jn Europe
until centuries after It was familiar to
; the1 Chinese, and indeed does not seora
to have been adopted untlPeariy in the
eighteenth century. It appears prob
able, too, that the potter's wheel - was
derived from China, but how and when
it Ttacbed Europe 1s unknown." After
a few other Introductory remarks, tha
author takes up and faithfully describes
something over "SO different kinds of bid
English pottery, having. first, however,
devoted a chapter each to Greek and
Itdtnan pottery in a general way, which
seems almost necessary to . elucidate
some of - the descriptions that follow.
These two chapters, with their Illustra
tions; are most Interesting a Greek
vase' being shown that was made about
700 B. C ' "V"' '
oeversi cnapiera are aevoiea 10 certain
ancient styles of pottery such as tiles,
greybeards, puszle jugs, etc many of
which are shown in the British mu
seum, but whose, origin and antiquity
. are uncertain. "
The -various kinds of. delft-were are
described, but the ware that receive
the most attention, and is perhaps the

its teryv discovery even to the present,
and; though" it is familiarly known to
many, most of these would discover
. how ; very IK tie real knowledge they
had, it they were privileged to read Mr.
Blacker' s book. He does not Xkf down
San hard and fast rules .that be pro
fesses would be an InfalllbleguMe to
the collector, for he yery 'plainly -eWes
that the imitations are very deceptive,
and that experience Is the only absolute
guide. He does, however, after giving
the history of tha pottery and, as far
a 'possible, the processes of making,
give, the distinguishing marks and. many
methods of identification, which would
be ettremely helpful to the collector.
In closing there are a number of

ITH the coming; of January the
minds of the club women begin
to turn toward the last Wed
nesday of the month land the
question: What shall ourKon which so happily came to her
clubs, do tor the scholarship loan fund
this year? is being asked on every hand.
This Is the one day, , and the one event
when all the club world of Oregon feels
akin.
During the year each club stands as
an Individual, except for the reciprocity
the goodwill and the helpfulness they
can give each other, but which la large
ly a matter of moral (upport, but on the
last Wednesday of fsanuary, together
they make one long pull, and one
atrong pull to increase the fund which
is being, used to help young women
who are struggling to. secure an educa
tion. This fund, as every one knows,
Is loaned to young women- without In
terest, and npon nominal security, with
the understanding that when they be
come wage-earners they will return the
money In Installments as their salar
ies, justify. It is in every particular
a business arrangement and One that
no-, self-respecting,- independent young
woman need hesitate to enter, into, or
will she feel that she is in any way
accepting - charity, for the federation
expects every dollar of it to be fe
turned that it may go again and again"
to others. But lest some embarrass
ment might be felt, -the beneficiaries
are known only by numbers when the
report is given by the chairman of the
board of trustees of this fund, which
will explain the following report of the
standing of these -vcmnfc women, a
given by Mr- Eggert, In her annua
report She says: , -

NTARIO Club women are feelinir
very happy over the results of
their club work this fall, and have
plans laid for greater work along every
line next year; but it is overt the prog
ress of their library work they are feel
ing particularly happy.
A few weeks ago the 'Work and WLh"
club circulated a petition asking for a
1' mill tax for a free library, whl?h
was almost unanimously signed, agree
ing. If It was -levied, to turn over to a
free Institution the 500 volumes tin
club possessed. The petition was then
presented to the city council and Will
be acted upon at the first regular meet
ing in January. The club has every as
surance that it will be favorably con
sidered. ,
This tax would approximate $00 the
first year, and would be a basis upon
which to secure a CarnegfeMmildlng.
The application has already beeflfor
warded to Mr. Carnegie and blanks to be
filled out have been sent to the club by
Mr. Carnegie's secretary.
On December 17 the club had a tag
day- for the benefit of the library and
raised $10S.30. Fifty dollars of this
will be set aside towards buying a lot
for a Carnegie library. The club means

the spirit that animates it It is pro

are now on the highway to win.
TWO WEEICS ago jthe presidents of
the ten federated clubs, of Port
land were called together by Mrs.
Eggert, chairman of the board, ofv trus
tees of f the scholarship loan fund, to
determine what . they would do- (his
year 'to observe, what is now come to
be known as "lied Letter Pay. and to
discuss - ways and means .for., raising
money -for tha fund, v It was decided
to continue the annual party which has
come to be looked upon aa one of the
large social events' of the year.
For several years all other social
events have given way to . tjils, and
not only club women, but all the so
ciety women of the city have reserved
the, last Wednesday In January for .the
scholarship, loan, fund party, and al
ready wcunen are arranging .their sched
ule of -teas, dinners and parties with
this in-vlew. "
iThe: entertalnroent wlll.be along.lhe
same' general lines aa In former years;
there will be the large auditorium at
the Masonic temple which .will be used
for cards. This, will be most informal
as there will be no prises. Each group
or table can play what they like In
former years, many parties of from
four to six 'tables have made reserva
tions together, and had their own lit
tle private party, and they will no doubt
do so this year. Others coming singly
have had tables made up for ..them, so
that all -who desired to play cards could
have the opportunity : ;
In the auditorium on the third floor
the Monday Musical club will give a
musical and literary entertainment for
those who do not play cards. The one
ticket will admit to both rooms.
It is hoped and expected that this
will be the most largely attended par
ty ever given for the scholarship loan
fund. There is an appeal In it that
cannot be resisted, and. It Is the only
occasion In the year that the federation
makes an appeal to the public Cer

that they may became better mothers,

WEAK OH OFFBISE
Claim Advanced That France
Should Build More First
j Class Battleships.
A. , .
(Untied Press IiMsed Wire.)
:: Paris, Dec. $ L What is- the . matter
with France's navyT
Only a .short time ago France occu
pied, second 'place Among, the great
navies of the world. Only England's
mighty fleet loomed ahead of hers. To
day' France is a fourth rate power on
.the-seasr - WhyT ; - ;
i In a veritable arraignment, M. Bona
Set, the parliamentary reporter Of r the
isaval Budget tells why.
. The report states that Germany,
which country has usurped the place
among the sea powers which France
formerly had,' now possesses a superi
ority of 10 battleships over the French
fleet Tet in the past 10 years France
baa put aside a sum practically equiva
lent to Germany's naval expenditures,
for the same purpose during the same
penoo.
M. . Bonaset declares that the French
nayy baa been constructed on a too
purely defensive basis. There have
been entirely - too many torpedo craft
built for patrolling the coast; and too
few first class ships of the line. . And
what battleships France possesses were
bui.t for speed at the sacrifice of
armor, while a certain false economy
exercised by the department haa re
suited in dockyards filled with ships
undergoing repairs. The Inference Is
plain, that M. Bonazet believes naval
affairs have -been mismanaged rather
badly and the naval appropriations
poorly spent, for he declares that
France Is badly off In the "matter of
offensive warfare, when, as a matter
of fact, she should be, In every way,
ahead of Germany, In first class bat
tleshlp tonnage. and all.
. ' An entire reorganisation of the dock
yards Is recommended. In France it
requires five years to turn out a bat
tleshlp. ' In the United States 1
dreadnaught is completed In three years
from the date of laying her keel. Eng
land and Germany take the same time.
Also the critic wishes to see battleships
built according to original plans in
stead of the way they are usually con
structed; that is by altering the original
specification from time to time so that
by the time a ship is completed it beara
little resemblance to what the first
plans called for.
The report has caused a sensation, in
spite of the fact that naval affairs
have been for some time the subject for
legislative inquiry and criticism, from
high places.

I had what moat people would call a
beautiful head of golden hair. I prised Jt

attraction. Suddenly it began te com
out verv ranldlv and at tlm t had liw
tense Itching of the scalp. - Physicians
and hair . specialists said my case wag
one of dandruff germs, hair microbe?,
etc..' but nothing that they gave me did
the slightest good. On the contrary, my
hair seemed to come Out even faster,
and I was now fearful lest I should be
come entirely bald. In my despair a
friend told me of an Ecuador herb
which he said would positively grow
hair on any head where the hair roots
were not entirely gone, and he said the
natives of the country where it grew
were famous, for' their beautiful long
hair. Upon medleal advice. I combined
this herb with Bay- Rum and Menthol
Crystals and Immediately began its use.
In three applications it entirely stopped
the intense Itching of my scalp and in
a very short time it not only Stopped
my falling hair, but I noticed an abun
dance of new hair coming In. . In less
than one month my hair was longer,
thicker and more beautiful than ever.
All due to this marvelous hair-growing
herb. A lady to whom I gave the for
mula used it on her daughter, and she
said it made her Jiair grow five inches
In less than a month. Doctors to whom
I hve Shown it say it is the only thing
which will actually grow new hair,
therefore, I think the public ought to
have It. At first I thought I would
keep it a secret and sell the secret, but
when I think how I suffered and how
badly I needed It and how hundreds of
others must need It. the same aa I did,
I feel I ought to give it to the world.
Therefore I authorise this paper to pub
lish the formula, which Is as follows:

a few drops of To-Kalon perfume,
which mixes perfectly with the other
ingredients. This, however, is not neceft

Be sure to ask the druggist for all the
enclosures in the Lavona de Com posee

handsome free sprinkler top for your

Ask your druggist for an eight ounce
bottle containing mix ounces of ft Bay

and the Perfume. Next add one-half of
the bottle of Lavona de Composee; let It
stand six to eight hours and add the re
