HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS.
PUT BAN UPON FRILLS
AND SILK HOSIERY
(Continued From Page One.)
la lntensly Interested in the movement.
Romalne Elliott was the first speaker,
she confined her remarks to an ex
planation of .What the meeting was
called for. Marcla Parker spoke very
earnestly on behalf of a simple coiffure,
explainingthat-not-only-were, puffs,
braids and curls very much out of place
on young girls, they were just now real
ly very unfashionable for anyone.
Dorothy Sanford - sanctioned what
Miss parker said in regard to halr
dresslng of elaborate detail, and then
attacked the folllshness and bad taste
of the use of bleaching tho hair. Many
will no doubt be surprised to know that
high school girls have ever done such
things, but it would seem from Miss
Parker's speech that it is a common
offense. She also spoke of the use
of paint and rouge, and to clinch her
argument cited an instance of a num
ber of high school girls in an eastern
hospital suffering from blood poison
ing from the use of poisonous "beauti
flers." rfttit wt Merely a Fad.
Mtnnle Nemerovsky, the moving spir
it In the reform, was the next speaker,
snd she im Dressed upon the girls the
fact that the movement was not meretyl
a fad, but that things had come to
such a pass that It was absolutely nec
essary that an organized effort be made
to bring about a reform. She said that
so many frills and furbelows were not
only a great extravagance to many par
ents, but they were In poor taste. Her
suggestion that the girls give some
of tho time they now use in fixing
their hair to helping their mothers, met
wild great applause. In place of so
much rouge, she suggested a brisk walk
to school as a means of acquiring rosy
cheeks.
Lexy Graham read a clever orglnal
poem setting forth the foolishness of
trying to make oneseir taner tnrougn
high ideals and their ankles more at
tractive through silk hosiery. She de
plored sleeves cut off above the elbows
and begged the girls to have them
longer, even though they did cover rat,
dimpiea arms. -.
Shirley Fisk' said that low-necked
and short-sleeved dresses were only
for evening wear, and that silk gowns
were for afternoon. febe said girls did
not look either artistic or sttractlve in
hobble skirts or skirts that swept the
floor.
Saya Boys Laugh at Them.
Miss Grlebel suggested that the girls
desist from the use of laces, frills, silk
stockings, white shoes and low shoes.
She assured them that when men and
boys looked at them and smiled they
were only 'making fun of them.
Ruth Blair, one of the opposition,
said that many girls wore their fancy
dresses to school simply to wear them
out, they were no longer quite suitable
for dress-up occasions and yet they
could not afford to throw them away
She was answered by Minnie Nemerov
sky, who said that the dresses should
be worn on Saturdays at horns or else
made over with sleeves and necks if
they had to be worn at school. A gen
eral discussion followed, at which It de
veloped that the sailor blouse and the
Peter Thompson will probably become
the vogue anion g the Lincoln girls. A
name for the club was also discussed.
Dress Reform club. Common Sense club
and Simplicity club being among the
names suggested. Other 'suggestions
will be received at tho uext meeting
and at that time a name will be selected.
Officers of the club were elected as
follows President, Minnie Nemerov
sky; vice-president, Shirley Fisk; secre
tary, Romalne Elliot; sergeant-at-arms,
Miss. Grlebel; editor, Alice Sansted; as

Second Son pi King of England
Said to Have Natural
Love for Sea.
Prince Albert of England.
London, Jan. 11 Interesting memo
ries are recalled to the older generation
by the announcement today of the de
parture of Prince Albert, the king's sec
ond son, on his first sea cruise as a
cadet , in the royal navy. It Is now
almost 36 years since King George, who
at that time was a second son, as is
Pripce Albert now, departed from these
shores on'hls well known three years'
voyage around the globe. He accom
panied his elder brother, the late duke
of Clarence, who was then the heir pre
sumptive to the throne. The two
princes were rated as midshipmen on
the Bachante. commanded by Admiral
Earl of Clanwilllam. Under these aus
pices the duke of Clarence and Prince
George saw for the first time the West
Indies, South America, Australia, Japan,
China and other parts of the world.
Prince Albert, also a "sailor prince,"
like ills father, is often in the pubiio
eye and thought because, like his father
in another respect, he may come to the
throne through outliving the heir ap
parent. It is no reflection on the Prince
of Wales, heir to the throne, to say that
his younger brother appears more pop
ular with the masses than be. The fact
of the matter Is that he is better known.
As the future king, the youthful Prince
qf Wales, especially during the past few
years, has been hampered by restraining
Influences which naturally have been
less severe In the case of Prince Albert.
The latter has been allowed "more rope"
and in consequence he has developed
into a hearty, wholesome youth, full of
life and Imbued with a love for all out
door sports and recreations. Many of
his pranks have been recorded in print
and In not a few of them his elder
brother appears to have been the vic
tim.

his eighteenth year. He entered the
Royal Naval College four yesrs ago and
proved sn enthusiasts and diligent stu
dent. Two years were spent at Os
borne, where he went through the ini
tial stiges of engineering, with work
shop practice, seamanship, navigation
and the usual curriculum of the public
school. He fared in exactly the same
way as other cadets, with the same
hours of atudy, the same food and ac
commodation, and. like the other boys,
with one shilling as pocket money and
no tuck shop account allowed.
Two years ago, with the Prince of
Wales, Prince Albert was shifted from
Osborne to the splendid new Dartmouth
college to , complete his naval studies.
At Dartmouth he has been under the
same strict discipline as the other ca
dets. From the turnout at 10 minutes
to 7 o'clock In the morning until the
turn in at 10 minutes past i o'clock In
the evening the cadets are under con
stant supervision and are for the molt
part kept fully occupied either In study
or exercise.
The work at Dartmouth college is
thorough and serious, the engineering
shops providing, without doubt, the cen
ter of attraction. Here Prince Albert
has learned to handle properly, the
whirling machinery and fashion a pol
ished spindle or make a joint which
will resist . a steam pressure of J00
pounds to the square Inch. In the school
room he finished his theoretical sub
Jerts. Now, aboard the armored cruiser Cum.
berland on which he and the other
cadfits embarked today, the Prince will
learn the practical side of navigation,
seamanship and steam engineering. He
Is -said to inherit his father's love for

audible and highly pointed remark con
cerning "duffers."

How's Your Nc
It's the man with "nerve," who gets ahead In this
world. The slow-going, unambitious, despondent fellow
Is always a plodder.
Look at the men who have accomplished big things
the successful men in all the walks of life and you will
see men of intense nerve force, men of power and confi
dence, who had the courage to fight their way to the top.
Some people attribute every man's success to luck.
Luck has nothing to do with it Your life is Just what
you make it, and if you don't get up and hustle for your
self, nobody else will do It for you. It all depends on
the amount of "backbone" you possess. .
The Inclination to hustle comes from nerves full of
electric energy. That's what produces the "do or die"
spirit which Is so essential to success.
Any man who is kept down by lack of energy, back
wardness, despondency, lost vitality or weakness of any
kind, can fret back his nerve and ambition by saturating
his body with electric life for a few hours every night.
Apply Klectra-Vita when you go to bed, turn on the
animating current of electricity, and while you sleep It
will pump new vim Into your tired body, and make a
vigorous man of you.
Electra-Vita is a scientific device for infusing the
nerves and vitals with a powerful but soothing current
of electricity for hours at a time, without the least shock.
Electra-Vita Is not like old style electrio belts, faradio
batteries and other contrivances you may have seen or
used. It gives a continuous current without charging.
All you have to do is adjust it correctly and turn on the
power to the proper degree of strength. It helps nature
cure-by renewing the vitality and energy of every weak
or inactive organ. Where there Is plenty of electricity,
weakness and disease cannot exist
Read These Words of Praise V
-Mr. Roy Kinsman, Klamath rails, Oreg., sayss "I
have used Electra-Vita for tne past few months, snd
think It fine. It has done me more good than all the
drugs. 1 have ever taken."
Mr, Andrew., Grove. Cottage Grove. Oreg.. says: "I
am certainly well pleased with your appliance. After
two weeks' use of JClectra-Vlta the rheumatism has left
me and my nerves are getting stronger. I feel like a
new man."
Mr. F. W. Hill, Kden, Wash., says: :"Ater using your
Electra-Vita for a short time 1 am feeling nil right again.
f thank you for your kindness and attention." -
Mr. Charles McEvers, Thompson, Mont., says: "Electra-Vita

TREASURE OF COCOS
ISLAND IS MYTHICAL
n ' ' ' .; " ... 1 11 1
Such Is Claim of Master of
Schooner Which Carried
Searching Party.
Vancouver, B. C, Jan. J I. That the
much-sought-for treasure on Cocos
island, the little chunk of land lying jn
the Pacific ocean off the coast of Cen
tral America, is nothing but a myth
which is used by treasure-hunting pro
moters to exploit gullible Investors. js
the information received from Captain
Brown, former owner for the schooner
yacht Kamona, of San Diego, which
spent six mqnths at Cocos Island with
a party of treasure hunters, who failed
to find any sign of the treasure after
a tedious search.
Mnst Show Location.
The Ramone was chartered for the
voyage by a Los Angeles promoter
three years ago, who had aroused the
interest of a number of men of means
in the expedition. The promoter, of
course, had to go along to take charge
and show the location of the treasure,
all for a good-slsed sum, whleh rep
-4-renctd-but a small ptl.nf the ei
penses of the voyage and the charter
ing of the Ramona.
After an absence of several months,
according to the skipper of the Ra
mona, the schooner returned to San
Dtego with the party, who had Quickly
tired digging holes in the island when
not even the ruBty bands from a "trea
sure chest" had been forthcoming.
The promoter was the only one of the
party who was not tired of the trip,
whleh he alone had found profitable.
The owner of the schooner had to In
stitute court proceedings to secure the
full amount of the charter -money
from the Los Angeles man.
Treasure 81ty mUlons.
The promoter then turned his atten
tion to the east coast to get together
another treasure-hunting party and.
Judging from the reports of new expe
ditions starting In . search for Cocos
island treasure, he was so successful
that he must have engaged the services
of several assistant "treasure-hunting
promoters."
The treasure is- estimated at $60,090,
009 and was supposed to have been
buried during a revolution. That the
people'who burled It would have forgot
ten about It Is hard to believe, and men
who have searched the Island claim that
there is not one chance in a thousand
that even a gold piece was left to mark
the spot.
