Probably no Oregon club has had such a pair of baritones as Albert Gillette and William Vawter. the one of Eugene, for several years th. ob ject of local admiration, the other of Medford, a brother of Vernon Vaw ter, who, too, was a glee club man of not.. "The two voices thrilled, but each thrilled different emotions. Vawter Bang the "Pong of th. Sword." by nougn-Leitner, and the sword was keen. It moved like a "Flash of light," the spirit of fight was there, the ex pression painted pictures, the volume was varied as with the stops In s great pipe organ. To Albert Gillette's clear, mellow voice responded a re action of warmth. "These and one other voice formed the musical features of the whole en- tertnlnment. The other was that of Paul Pprague, a tenor who rings tiue. He sang the "Songs of Araby," by Clay, and those who heard him for the first time marveled. "The other two delicacies In the glee club menu, possibly more hearty thnn the others, were the comedy parts, Bert Jerard and Mcrwln Pat Icy. They were real live funmakers. If one sang, tho other not waltlna for him to finish, tackled the rlano wit!) n gusto quite as versatile as tho other. They took turns In the center of the stage and no one wan more sorry to see the close of their number than any one of the Orpheum sketches on the same stage several weeks ago."

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23 The Hobson resolution -to submit a con- stlttlonal amendment for national prohibition to the state legislatures was defeated In the house last night. 1(7 members voting for and IS) t gainst it. An affirmative vote of two thirds was required to adopt the resolution. It was at the conclusion of one of the most stirring contests of recent days In congress, and following votes on several amendments that the final vote was reached. Representative Hobson had closed the general debate participated In by all the house lead ers, many or whom were repeaieaiy cheered by men and women In the crowded galleries. Speaker Clark re peatedly admonished thje spectators to maintain order. lAfic of Two-Third Conceded. Although advocates of the Hobson resolution freely predicted It would receive a majority vote many of them including Mr. Hobson, had conceded at the start that the resolution would not receive the two-thirds vote neces sary for Its adoption. Before the final roll call, Represen tative Hobson presented an amena- ment, which was adopted, giving to "the congress and the states concur rently" the power to enforce the pro hibition by needful legislation. An amendment offered by Repre sentative Adamson to give the states absolute control of prohibiting under the proposed prohibition amendment was voted down on a rising vte, 1"9 to 32. Hobson Make Dramatic Appeal. As a vote was ordered on the reso lution itself, ' Representative Hobson made a final dramatic move. "Mr. Speaker," he said. "I wish to; nek whether any member of this house who has a financial interest in the question now pending, who owns stock in distilleries or breweries, who owns a saloon or who has property leased to liquor Interests can under the rules vote on this question?" The speaker explained that the pre cedents held that If a member was affected as one of a class, the rule would not prevent his voting, but that such questions were usually left to the member himself.

Velocipedes, Sleds and Wagons ALL GREATLY REDUCED lacknaws All Toys HALF Reduced in Price Watch La Dows after these lines Stories From the War Zone ROME. Nov. 15. (By mall to New Tork.) The federal council of Ger many has adopted rigorous measures for conserving Germany's cereal sup ply during the present war, accord ing to advices here. Statistics just completed by experts establish that n the basis now provided for Ger many will have no difficulty In set ting along until next year's crops are harvested. One of the new measures enacted by the federal council provides that all millers shall grind wheat to the extent that 75 per cent of it become flour. This does away with the waste that ensues In the grinding of fine quantities of flour. The percentage tor rye Is fixed at 70 per cent. All hakers are ordered to mix with wheat flour at least 10 per cent of rye flour. Five per cent of pota toes must also be mixed In bread and made exclusively of rye flour and 'his may even be Increased up to 20 per cent. On bread of this kind the baker are required to place the let ter "K," Indicating that potatoes ar used in Its manufacture but they are not required to state to what extent Failure to exact this has already caus ed considerable protest by the public who say that bakers can thus charge the same price for 20 per cent "spud" bread as for the 5 per cent variety. The feeding to animals of grains which can be made into bread ha also been prohibited. An exception has been made in the case of small land proprietors who wish to fatten their livestock. They can feed a! small amount of rye If it has been grown on their ow-n land. Owing to the fact that the potato nipply Is somewhat short this year, a shortage which will be Increased by the fact that they must also be used In bread making, has also resulted in testrlctive measures to conserve them. The use of potatoes In the making of splrltj is limited to 60 per cent of tho lisual amount. lntor nrtil others fro,,, wlth.lrswln craln from the! marktt in order to hold It for high- ei prkes. a number of measures have leen enacted permitting the govern ment to approprlat all such grain. Trices have also been fixed for an en lire year in advance In order to di minish further the possibility of spec ulation. These prices vary according to lo cality, the highest being nt Berlin arid the lowest at Bromberg In Bos nanla. Th prices In vogue now will continue without change till the first of the year. After that there will bi nn Increase of 36 cents a ton every two weeks. On this bals the experts estimate that the present rye supply will last till September 1. liu.i nnd tli w neat sv.rply till the first of Ansust. O. barley there is plenty for the arm , ind no restrictions have been placed on Its consumption. The newspapers are practically jo and Sweaters AT COST and Fancy being closed out at PRICES Our Entire Line of Christmas unanimous In upholding the measures thus enacted. They declare it la the first duty of the government to thus provide for the feeding of the army on which the national existence de pends. They also call upon the rich to give up the eating of whole wheat I'read and to use the same rye and potato mixed composition as the masses. This they declare, would be Jin act of patriotism which they real :y owe the country and the army. GENEVA, Nov. 12. (By mall to N:w York.) A letter from hl fiancee fc.uno on a young German officer ta Ken risoner near Belfort reads; "What are you all doing still In Alsace since Belfast has been taken by our brave army? Three times! you have told me you were on the I way to Paris and hoped to enter the, French capital soon, but perhaps yon. will be already there before th!a; reaches you.
