The people of the JJnlted States harej
Indicated their wlllincneaa to economise.
y a marked reduction In their Imports
Ion of luxuries. A compilation by tha '
National City bank of New York Shows ,
that in many ot the articles of luxury
imported, the 1917 Imports ara from 30
per cent to SO per cent below those of
the earlier years ot the war, despite- tha
fact that In most cases prices per unit .
of quantity ara hither than In earlier
years. The list of luxuries which tne
people of the country have formerly im
ported is a lone one and Includes many
articles of food, clothing; and personal
adornment, and. the 1117 economies in
most ot these lines are quite apparent
on a comparison of the figures of im
ports of the year 1917 with those of
1916. 1915 or even 1914. While In a few
instances, the fall-otf may be due to the
lack of transportation or the reduction
of available supplies in the countries at
war. the reduction in quantities inv
ported has been so general as to indi
cate a growing disposition to minimise
unnecessary expenditures In the classes)
of articles of this chsracter brought lntQ

Charge of Using Offensive Lan

Oregon City, Feb. 26. Ray Dunmire,
a paper mill striker, who waa convicted
in City Recorder Loder's court of using
offensive and insulting language toward
a strikebreaker, and who was fined $50
and elven a iall sentence, won a vic
tory in the circuit court Monday on
writ of review when Judge Campbell
sustained the writ brought by Attorney
C. Schuebel and ordered the dismissal
of Dunmire.
Dunmtre's particular offense Is said
to have consisted of his addressing one
Fred Losey as a "ooah," and he was
found guilty by Recorder Loeder, who
assessed the fine and sentence as men
tioned. Attorney C. Schuebel made an
application at once for a writ of review
before Judge Campbell, questioning the
sufficiency of the indictment because It
did not state specifically what the in
sulting and offensive language consisted
of, and was therefore demurrable.
