CASOLINE PRICES TAKE FALL OF THREE CENTS WALLA WALLA, Aug. IS Caro line prices In Walla Walla hav ta ken a threecent tumble, dropping from II to 16 cents. Thli followed an announcement by the Whltehouse- Drumheller, and la the direct result of a letter written Saturday to gaso line dealer of the city by Dahlen Brothers announcing their Intention to lower prlcea. There has been no aecret made of the fact that local dealers had en tered a combination to maintain the price of automobile fuel at 18 cents, which Is from five to seven cents higher than in coast cities and at least three cents higher than nearly any inland city of this site. At a recent meeting of the deal ers there was some disposition on the part of some of them to lower prices, but others held out for the prevail ing figure. Consequently, despite the protests of automobile owners, the price was left at 18 cents, where a profit of about five cents accrued to the dealer. Following a trip up and down the roost, however, Herbert Dahlen wrote a letter Saturday to the other deal . era In which he said prices were too high and that he Intended to cut them today. This was quickly fol lowed by the announcement yester day morning and prices this morn ing dropped. Indeed they dropped yesterday, when the T. 8. Steel Ma chine company and one or two oth ers put up placards announcing gas oline for 15 cents. It is said that this may precipitate n gasoline war, such as brought the price down to 13 or even 12 cents. However, this is not considered prob able, as the wholesale cost Is 1J rents, and few dealers care to handle the commodity without profit. THE DALLES, Oregon, August 13. Foretry service officials beaded a party on the trip for a detailed study of the country through which the JO mile of road from Government camp to Mount Hood Lodge is to be built. In the party were Representative C. N. McArthur, District Forester Qeorge H. Cecil, S. E. Finch and J. T. Schuyler, engineers of the United States detailed to the forest depart ment and Jacob Kanzler of the Portland chamber of commerce. The party will decide on a tentative locution of the road. When the offi cials of the forest service return plans Immediately will be made for an engineering location. Salmon Stay Outside. ASTORIA, Ore., Aug. 13. Catches ranging from 300 to 500 pounds of chinooks to the boat are being made by the trotters who are operating out side the mouth of the river. They are also procuring good hauls of sock eyeH. Fur several weeks from the open ing day, when the dividing line be tween the small and large fish was Increased 25 to 28 pounds, the fish averaged large, fully "5 per cent of them tipping the scales at 28 pounds or more, so that the great bulk of the catch brought 7 cents a pound. Again on August 3, the prices for raw salmon were cut to 6 cents a pound flat. Since that date practical ly no fish have been caught inside the liver. Water Shortage la Ended. WEXATCHEE, Wash., Aug. 13. The unusual season here has resulted In water trouble and water shortage. With the exception of the Gunn ditch all Irrigation canals have given more or less trouble to the water users. The high line is carrying a full head and no further trouble Is expected. The temporary Injunction obtained by Roy Reid et al., water users on the Stem lit, on July 29, against Morse Tyler et al of the upper Stemllt section, was quashed yesterday by Judge McCoy, upon the motion of the defendants' attorneys. The Injunction, restrain ing Tyler from taking water for Irri gation purposes from the Semllt creek, was based upon an old court deoree. Zeppelins Am SlfihtAd. AMSTERDAM.

(Written for the United Press.) Betty bought a box of beads, A bead-trimmed frock to try. She now has lots of beads on hand Likewise a beady eye. NEW YORK, Aug. 13. The latest fashionable bag of tricks Is a bag of beads. Marie Lanvln Is the Parisian courtourlere who has spilled the beads and scattered them recklessly all over the fall frocks, frills and furbelows. Think what a beautiful consistency ll only Beer had been the designer to put the bead on. But, Marie beat him to the bead and now everything Is beaded to beat the band, the bead ed band, of course, which has been with us for many seasons. In the windows of two of the smartest hat shops on Fifth avenue every single one of the new fall mod els had a garnishment of beads as Its sole adornment. The big broad flat Hack velvet shapes have a flat bead trimming either set on or else bead ed right on the hat surface itself. In the latter class Is a sprawling sort of an octopus design done In a single row of steel beads. Another has a tiny humming bird ' of feathers perched on a nest shaped medallion of varlgale bead eggs. Just as a suggestion anent this eggy idea it seems to me a cunning little gold fish nesting on a bunch of bead roe could be a heap more realistic and effec tively reproduced In beadwork. Be that as it may single flat blossoms of beadwork cling barnacle-llke to the broad black velvet brims. On the jaunty little turban shapes bristling batons of beads stick out like the quills upon the fretful porcupine. Beaded tassels also dangle danger ously, promising that many an eye this full though not now beads will be beaded. The beadwork designs on the fall suits and gowns are wonderfully al luring. Floral and conventional mo tifs are picked out In the most ex quisite of beaded colorings and just i touch is used on a girdle, a sleeve cr a bodice with an effective and telling artistry. On many of the pas tel tinted frocks that promise to lead the mode this autumn a vivid splash of colorful beadwork, a single glow ing scarlet flower, sn orange or em erald fruit at the shoulder, the throat or the waistline adds just the need ful beadful touch. ( Beaded bags are In again with a vengeance, not the silk bags with bead trimmings that have dangled from all the best arms this summer but the real old fashioned all-over beaded bags with their quaint pink and yellow garlands Oft bright green and blue backgrounds. Black bead ed designs on gold and vice versa play a big part In the present-day old fashioned bead bags and black and green is another smart combination.

July 16 (By Mail) Moonlight in Rome, the sound of a guitar, a singer's voice declaiming deeds of war, of love, of partings, of promised returns. In ancient pal aces heads are silhouetted against yellow squares of light. In the Piazza a crowd gathers about the singer. Yes, this is twentieth century Rome and the singer is no medieval truba dor. But he is quite as picturesque, quite as romance- laden as though he had lived hundreds of years ago. For he Is an Improvisator and he repre sents a custom as old as the ancient palaces under whose broad portals he is singing. His name Is Sor Capanna and he is known from one end of Rome to the other for is he not the composer of that modern satlracal song "Big William?" He is singing it now and for one solda you may buy the same poetic narration of the Improvisatore's estimation of the kaiser. Sor Capanna In one of many impro visators in Rome today, for the en trance of Italy into the war has brought them all out again like mush rooms or perhaps one should say flowers after a rain. They sing, most of them, snngs of love, farewells of soldiers departing to the war. admon ishing their sweethearts to be brave and true during their absence. Many of them sing the compositions of Pnr Capanna, peer of improvisatores but the majority of them improvise. All improvise the music so that the words you hear sung under your window at night may be the same you heard the morning in the piazza but the music is altogether different. Sometimes a group of Improvisa tores. with harp and violin and a sing er, recount the sorrows and the yearn ings of the departing soldiers. But Rome stops to listen. The servant girl brushes a tear from her eye sur reptitiously buys a copy of (he touch ing ballad for a penny. Others crowd forward to listen to the words. From morning until night you may run across them, these singers in the squares, beside the Spanish steps, near the churches. Some of the improvisa tores strumming their plaintive tunes on the guitars use ballads of other days brought up to date. And If the Improvisatores collect a couple of lire from one concert and sale of ligrettos they are more than satisfied. One of the songs heard most re quently in Rome has a highly Eugenic flavor even In its dialect. "Lo scurto dl Vlttorio non lo voglic "Quando rivie il mla amore me lo pig lio." Which is to say "Those refused by Victor Emanuel 1 do not want; "When my love returns from the war I will marry him." Other famous songs beloved of im provisatores and populace are "Addla mla bella. addla,'' which unpoetically translated from poetic Italian ballads of the people Is "Good by, niy love, good by. The army Is departing and If I did not depart I would be a vll llan. But I am not leaving you alone. I leave you a little son who will con sole you. the son of our first love." So that Italy is commemorating its war-babies In ballad form. Another ballad which brings tears to the eyes of the girls left behind Is "Tl saluto, amorosa mla." "I salute you my love, I am going away but I will return. When I re turn I will bring you a flower. Long live love. When I return I bring you a flower. Long live love and he who knows how to love." It is needless to say that this song Is one of the hits of the day. and al ways gets many a damp eye from the listening throng. And there are many others quite too tragic and love laden to degrade through Inferior translation. As for the Improvisatores, they reap their small harvest off the loves and sor rows of soldiers' sweethearts. LONDON, July 20. (By Mail.) England's women are crying for war work. Let them serve their country, is to day the demand of England's suffra gettes. They have dropped their fight' for suffrage but the "wild women" are still fighting the government with verbal vim that Is heard throughout the nation. "Let the women get into the muni tion factories and let the men go to the front." gay the women. "It Is angony to think that women could have done and have not been allowed to do since the beginning of the war" said Chrlstobal Pankhurst in an interview. "We are devoured by anxiety when we think of women's hands still idle while precious time Is slipping by. "The women of France are not obliged, as British women are, to beg and prey to be allowed to protect their husbands or sons at the front and to defend their homes, their honor, their country, by working in munition fac tories. We are told by our cabinet ministers that the women of France are turning out shells and making fuses. We are told that shell and fuse making is not highly skilled work and can ne learned quickly by Intelligent lersnns. "AJ I - .L. . -T.u in nit- same oreatn we are tow that England is short of munitl ons. It is a challenge to the Intelli gence of British women and It Is mad- ness. suicidal madness, not to mobi nze tne women of this eountry that tney may render such service. flff f J M OFIYO II 0 FALL SU1 Let Us Help You J Decide on Your New Suit or Coat Our showing: for Fail, 1915, consists of all the newest cre ations in popular priced and latest styles of Coate, Suits and Skirts, direct from the coun try's foremost makers.

That's all right" Six big slugs of booze he ordered an' he downed 'em right way. "Now," he says, "you onery cheap skate, we'll decide who gets Miss Gray." Quick as lightnin' guns was flashln' two reports rang out as one. Just two shots that's all they fired, an' the damage had been done. As the boys picked up the rivals so's to make room for the game, a loud laugh came from the banker- Charley Baker was his name. "Two fools less!" he said, while grlnnln.' "Fighting' over Miss Gray! What if I'd a-told these blockheads Mary married me today?" Sure enough, the girl they wanted had been married to that guy. "Did not want to tell," said Baker. "Seen a good, stiff scrap was nigh." Then the ball he started splnnin' and the game was on once more. In the card room Wes was lyin' so was Shorty on the floor. World's Knd Coming; Again. DALLAS, Tex., Aug. 12.

Half a doz en men stood near him, but they went an easy pace an' their playln' 'aide f' his wus like a deuce spot 'side an ace. Shorty kept a waiter busy. When he'd had, well, maybe. six, he began to dron his wlnnlnes. (Booze an' roulette seldom mix.)

They was both In love with Mary that's the story, anyway. Things was lookin' pretty ticklish in the roulette room that night. Shorty kept on playln' reckless.

Important to Health During Hot Weather SIMMER CONDITIONS CONTRIB ITE IN VARIOUS WAYS TO CONSTIPATION. At no time should people be more careful of the condition of their bow els than during the hot weather. Constipation should be guarded against especially, as many serious, and often fatal, diseases ire traceable to neglect. Some people find that certein fruits have a laxative effect, but tr.is cannot always be depended upon; a mild laxative-tonic that will a.'t gently, yet positively, without griping of shock to the system, is far preferable. A combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, sold In d-g stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Sy rup Pepsin is highly recommended as being easy and natural In its action, pleasant to the taste and certain in its effect. A dose of this excellent remedy at bedtime Willi restore nor mal activity In the morning, carrying off the heaviness and bloat. Salts, purgative and cathartics should be cello, 111. avoided as they upset the entire -tern, and at best afford but temporary relief.
