Some want one and some want the other and Farls is prepared to satisfy all comers and let some one else worry about the official silhouette. Dressmakers who put their whole heart and winter collection into the tlared-silhouette revival are discovering that it has no ap peal to that portion ot their clien tele which has never been able to attain the lead-pencil tdrm and keep it. These ladles and they are often rich insist upon straight, lengthening: lines. They want their waistlines several inches lower than nature. Intended and thy do not wish their hips brought out of obscurity. For them many a house Is adding last minute models to the winter collection.

The story of America's "million aire spoTting criminal," ladies in cluded, whose most popular diver sion is horse stealing for which they get lynched occasionally va ried by man hunting expeditions when shooting game palls, is one of America's newest wonders that has been presented to young Com munists here. The story was printed in the Comsomolsky Pravda, organ of the Central Committee of the Young Communist organization, and was represented as being reprinted from a Stockholm paper, the iden tity of which was not mentioned The facts were said to have been presented by a "noted criminolo gist recently returned from pursu ing his studies in America." It runs as follows: "Among the different sorts of crimes recently developed in Am erica, sporting crimes are greatly on the increase among the weal thy population. American dan dies and ladies are organizing rob beries and thefts in which the po lice participate, being well paid for doing so. Horse-stealing as a spori is very popular, and the poor farmer frequently finds his horse shot in the woods with a purse ly ing near by in which has been placed the value of the animal. "These criminal millionaires are never brought into court, notwith standing these affairj are often productive of Tictims, and all in formation about their crimes re mains forever hidden in the se- r-rot si-chives of the DOlice. But I ordinary human beings, when they manage to catch these criminal millionaires, maie no distinction and it often happens that they ljnch them especially for horse stealing; bui this fact only adds zest to the sport and the risk and danger are extolled in poems for there exists among these wealthy sportsmen a sort of cult of 'crim inal poetry. "Some time ago millionaire members of one hunting club, fed up with the ordinary hunting ot animals, took a trip to South Am erica to hunt human beings. In Paraguay they ' followed the courses of the rivers In boats .and shot with rifles all natives they saw on the shores." , HANK3 UNCOUN ' LINCOLN CITY, Ind., (AP) Amid a clump of black oaks on a knoll in southwestern Indiana, a monument of Indiana limestone is to be erected to perpetuate the memory of Abraham Lincoln and to enshrine the humble grave of Nancy Hanks Lincoln, his mother. Thomas Hibben, of New York, a native of Indiana, has been se lected as the architect, and his plans have received the endorse ment of the Indiana Lincoln Union, an organization of nationally known Hoosiers, which seeks to raise ?1, 265, 000 by next March for construction of the memorial.

Poles Make Best Of Treaty Joke, I ft?WAR3AW 11.7 4$ Some thought it a joke when the Versailles treaty awarded Poland a narrow strip of coast, shown in the map at the upper left, as an outlet to the sea. But Poland took the strip, which looked in 1919 like the view shown at the upper right, and has transformed it into the harbor shown in the center. Below is the Gdynia, half of Po land's merchant marine. The only other ship yet owned by the gov ernment is the Gdansk, but more are planed.

It is a measure of your progress and Is the beginning of a new epoch. You have ceased to he a child and have entered into adult life.

Your safety will not be provided by parental care, mbut must be parental care. but must be will power and your enlightened self-determination. I want to rvTl! your attention to certain phases of your new en-' vironment that experience has shown is important In the career of students. Many students will find it ne cessary or desirable to earn a part or all of the money required to meet expenses. Avoid work that in its nature or its amount in jures your health or interferes with your other duties. When ad ditional funds are required, bor row the amount, if necessary, rather than engage in too many hours daily in earning money dur ing the academic year. The second phase of your en vironment is athletics. We believe in the best possible development of the physical body. Excessive interest in athletics often leads to classroom neglect and finally ex clusion from college for failure to attain the required standard of scholarship. ronment is the social.

The following par agraph from the publisher's in troductory note is of particular interest: "In this publisher's safe re poses a remarkable and valuable manuscript every word of which has been painstakingly written in longhand every word of which is precious, not only be cause it goes into the telling of a great story, but because it clothes so simply and modestly the spirit of Charles A.

Instantly attractive, too. is the cover design bright night-blue, end-margined by gold bars, the ti tle "We" effectively stamped in gold, beneath which (also stamp ed in gold) is a monoplane, ap parently poised in mid-air all ty pically suggestive of the under taking of the intrepid youthful Birdman, who. with his beloved "Spirit of St. Louis," on May 20th last, suddenly winged his way across the sky, and thereby, in cidentally and unawares, to the pages of 'history's imortal sons, and to the hearts of untold mil-., lions throughout the world, who delight to honor him not merely because of his epochal achieve ment, but also because of his fine, clean young manhood typical of the best of American youth and who, "though he walked with kings yet has kept the common touch." As indicated by the publisher's note the book is primarily a chro nological record of Lindbergh's career, tersely told; but though the author does not (one wishes he did) stress his personal aerial sensations, sentiment, or spirit of the adventure, yet the story is re plete with gripping, thrilling sit uations and amazing aerial e -periences and romance, through out which there shines, like a stea dy beacon-light, the author's rare personality and intrinsic traits of (Continued on pfe 6.)

E Expresses Belief That Char acter Comes First in Home, Business, Etc. liy Joy Klmer Morgan (Kditor, Journal nf the National Edaca tiona) Ashoeintion) Character comes first In educa tion. It comes first In the home, in business, in manufacture and in the professions. The world's great teachers have always put charac ter first, whether in kindergarten or university. We do not mean by character the petty moralities or the endless dont's and does with which some parents and teachers seek, to chain expanding youth. We mean rather the restraints and controls that come from within, and the total network of habits, appreciations, skills and ambitions that leads people to choose a path because of its inherent Tightness. "Pioneers and great commoners like Lincoln have always been quick to see the inherent Tightness of things. The simplicity of their lives as children, their closeness to nature with its persistent ap plication of natural law has helped them to know that there are forces greater than the whims ot men. No better. character forming ma terial exists than well-written lives of the world's heroic figures. Every child should be literally sur rounded with these narratives. It takes character to form char acter.' Jt cannot rist to great heights in the hands of ignorant parents or stupid teachers. It can not be built by rule Of thumb. There are, however, a few princi ples which, if wisely applied, help much. Bring yourself to think of rear ing your children as a great Joy ous and fascinating adventure. Study constantly the art and sci ence of child rearing as you would prepare for business or a profes sion. Seek to know your children and to accept them as they are. Par ental self-delusion has wrecked the character of many a child. From birth develop regularity In eating, sleeping and the other vital habits of life. , Give the child the maximum freedom as he seeks . to discover the world about him and meet his curiosity frankly. Character is not formed by "dont's" and "stops" and "quits." Do not make the child afraid or keep him with people who have fear complexes, which, he will copy. Begin early to teach the child right, hahits ,tn his associations with others. Modern life has mnlti piled such associations tremen dously. Begin giving the child : simple tasks - almost as soon as he cab walk and develop into regular da ties within his strengths : Recognise : the. importance of right habits tn his association with EDUCATION URGES SPECIAL WORK ife . NEW YORK. (AP While the United States has been going from knee breeches to trousers and back to plus fours, and from crinolines to wasp waists and thence to knee- length frocks, tbje American eagle which adorns tne nation's coins has kept steady pace with the styles of his countrymen. Time after time in the century odd of his existence the eagle has appeared in nerw poses and with new characteristics, as a national emblem, Rowland Wood, curator of the American Numismatic so? ciety, points out. His wings have stretched wide or, have rested at his side, his feachers have been calm or ruffled, his beak has gaped voraciously or has "been tucked in docility at his breast, in response to the influence of successive sculptors, congresses or national moods. Today the eagle whicih appeared on the American dollar Jn 174 as a young bird, athletic and clean cut, has acquired a mfien of sol emn dignity and has taken his perch on a lofty crag possibly, Wood suggests, to contemplate his next reincarnation- Only for a year or two did the eagle remain as Tie was first de signed. Wood points out. He re appeared with, wfngs outstretched and looking "like an albatroe? bal ancing hinvself on a tightrope." His next "pose was a belligerent one, and. at the age of four he ac quired a shield for a chest pro tector, opened his mouth wanly and let his tail feathers droop. . "He was 13 years old," Wrood continnes. "before they decided to reduc his chest protector. His nose had developed and be had put on weight. OCtea. particularly on gold coins, he showed signs of animation by flapping his wings, but the sad look remained in his eyes. "Then, apparently came a time when Iris rich relatives were ashamed of him. In 1850 his fea thers were combed, and he was concealed behind a shield so large that 'only his extremities showed. Thus he appeared on our first $20 gold pieces. 'Something happened to the bird in 1873. He may have caught cold, or perhaps the disgrace of being put on a' trade dollar and sent to China wounded his pride. Ho appeared to be shivering and in 'a tremble, 'with rumpled feath ers. He became cockier again bn the Bland silver dollar In 1879. al though somewhat aged,' and his tail took the appearance of an os trich fan. Four years later he got a marcel, his beak was pared down and he was given a breastplate.

So fris ky did he feel that he took to fly ing xmce more after a lapse of 50 years. He alighted on the 50 cent piece In his -balloon trousers.

Nearly 50 years ago, for a time covering the years from 1878 to 1882 inclusive, there was a company of about 40 young peoplefof Salem, known as the Mountain Party that made an nual summer pilgrimages to Gates upon the upper reaches or the Santiam. Gates, now a town with hotel and a railroad, was then simply a name. It was a location with hundreds of millions of cubic feet of nure and refreshing moun tain air, of unlimited spaces for elbow room, of roarlnr waters. tt trees and rocks, of huckleberries. and blackberries, and adjacent to the .finest trout stream in the state of Oregon. This com pany of young people was re cruited largely from the choirs of the churches of Salem. Their repertoire Included all the old time music that Is so dear to the common people. There was Annie Laurie, Moliie Darling, Nellie Wildwood, Swinging in the Lane, Sweet Bye and Bye, Juanita, Sil ver Threads Among the Gold. Wake Nicodemus, Isle of Beauty, Aunt Dinah's. Quiltjng Party, Mistletoebough, the Soldier's Fare well, the Dying Nun. and listen to the Patter of the Rain Upon the Roof and scores of other ol.ltime favorites. To hear those old songs ringing through what was then a primeval forest as evening sha dows began to fall seemed some thing like a taste of heaven. Among the leaders were the Chamberlin girls, Mrs. Ella Mel son McDowell, the Moores twins. Althea and Bertha, with the deep bass voices of George II. Burnett Mart L. Chamberlin and Richmond Kelly, and the magnificent tenor o Frank Irvine leading all: the rest The melodies were the old tim home songs that alwayp thi hearts of the everyday poodle r the world. It was not the modern "jazz" music of the caberets, and it was not the so-called higher class music that you find on the programmes of the Philharmonic Societies of Portland and Chicago, but it was soul stirring music that all could comprehend and appre ciate. Easily among the foremost figures of this happy group was the late Chief Justice George H. Burnett of the Oregon supreme court, who has just passed away. , IJot the stern judicial, autocrat that the world thinks it knows- not the man wno served for S7 years as district attorney, cireuft (Continued on page 6.
