T THE FEARFUL COST OF ALOOFNESS HE question of gradual disarmament by the nations of the world has been pigeon-holed at the meeting of the League of Nations council. France and Japan have pri- j vately refused to consider reductions in their armies and uayies until the L'nited State3 agrees to similiar reductions. Their attitude is the most natural thing in the world. No cation is going to disarm Hnless others also disarm. There must le unity of action and, as long as .this-country remains aloof sach unity of action is impossible. . ." And so" we go on pouring out our money on the agencies of deetruction. Last year we paid over $1,000,000,000 for "array find navy expenses and the bill this year is $8o,490,806. Be f ause of war and the fear of war, our government is now spend ing $92.23 out of every $100 raised for all purposes. For the fiscal year ending June 30, the United States spent for civil administration only $3.00 per capita and this included the cost of executive, judicial and legislative activities, scientific, educational, development and all public work. For the same period our federal government spent $51.00 per capita for war purposes. ' ' : ' Upon that basis the city of Pendleton alone was called upon to pay $374,595 last year on the government's war bill.' That was a sum far in excess of all our local taxation combined. Every tidustry, every business house and every man, woman and child, rich or poor, had to bear a part. It was not a direct tax, else the complaints would have snaK en the foundations of our government. It was a concealed tax, en added cost to the things we eat, the things we wear and the . . - - i i r . a l .- i ll a .1 j I rings we use in everyuay me. ajiu. n was couecieu iruiii evei one of us in dollars and cents. Argument and pleas for disarmament, to the end that the colossal waste of money on armies and navies might be stopped stnd the money diverted to constructive use, have been made for generations, but it was not until the European holocaust had j Known the folly of war that any progress was made toward se-i curing an international agreement for such a boon. The League of Nations is the instrument through which the nations of the world hope to accomplish this purpose, and the country which through refusal to join the league or through ther aloofness, blocks this great human reform is accepting a fearful responsibility before God and man. When the subject is viewed in this light, President-elect Harding's conferences with the "best minds" on the league issue assumes an importance far beyond the weight that could attach to the discussion of any mere political topic. It wil lbe a waste of time for any set of men or any political party to talk of econ omy or tax reductions unless something is done to reduce the one form of taxation that has grown so heavy it seriously imperils civilization. s THE SUPER WHEAT SHIP FROM the standpoint of future results the arrival at Asto ria Friday of the mammoth British steamer Orca, is viewed by many as an incident of more significance than the recent interstate commerce decision giving Portland a 10 per cent differential on grain shipments from the territory south of the Snake river. Portland was given a differential of a cent a bushel and has acclaimed the decision as a great victory. The decision did recognize, and justly so, the distinction between a water grade and a mountain haul. ' ! However, the feeling prevails at Seattle and Astoria that the referential will be offset by other features. For one thing they have in mind the tendency to the use of larger ships, of such draft that they cannot reach Portland, and the arrival of the Orca lends color to the theory that the day of the big ocean carrier is at hand. The Orca will carry away 565,000 bushels of wheat for Max Houser and when loaded will draw so much water that she cduld r.ot enter or leave San Francisco bay with such a cargo. No such shin could reach Portland with that cargo, i It is powerful testimony as to the merits of the Astoria hr. ;X , , . . i r j l j l T ' . . ! tor ana tne story nas an interest ior me larmer aisu. rveiy nove that reduced ocean charges works to the advantage of those who have wheat for export. There is a natural economy in the use of large ships just as there is in the use of long trains on favorable grades. The sooner we see large ships calling reg ularly at the mouth of the Columbia the sooner will charter rates be made lower. ' With a water grade haul from the interior to her docks and with a harbor sufficiently deep for the largest ships afloot Astoria has advantages that are certain to count heavily in tire future. Time may soon see Astoria rivalling or surpassing both Seattle and Portland in wheat exports. If so the farmer will havC' no need for worry. Two markets are better than one and three markets will be better than two. Crime may not be more prevalent than in the past but it is certainly more promiscuous. If dissatisfied or dispirited, try doing something for others; it? a sure cure. oamo and .Mademoiselle New Vorlt squirm though the jams of Christmas shimpers, the fashion, world which makes stylos in concerninit tlself anout suitable coats for sprlimtlm. rructieally every clothing tnanuiae. turer is working upon raiment for balmy days. . Although they will not give decisive style ultimatums as con cencerna the coming season, they do to speak, front the porpourrl of colors, line, and fa brio and itlve tantalising little whiffs of what the femlne kind may expect. There is a kind of color. The Tex tile Color Card Association of Amer ica, has Isied Its spring colors. These colors are very gay and ralnbowy. Orange-yellow combinations verging from lightest to medium shades are very good. These hues are mancd Honeyrew, Shlmp, and Tangerine. Hed-orange-yellow combination con tinue In favor. There are three shades of these known as Tomato, Paprlca, and Pimentot There are some won-j derftilly soft new dull greens and blues There are reds ranging from brilliant roily to a maroon. Five Colors Utile Now Hlnnsc "Waist makers have selected from this chart five colors which they ars featuring in the new blouses they are now making. The five are Zinc, a medium gray; Honeydevv: Porcelain, a blue Hko the china of that name; Rattan, a yellow-tan; and Tomato. The blouses which are being develop in these shades continue 4he tunic or peplum line, and most of . them are slip-overs. Some houses are endea voring to push back into popularity tho flesh "and white georgette blouses. These are made with all the trimming concentrated upon the front, so that the waist ntay serve as p. gult gilet. In' fact, this fad of bedecking Milady's straight-front is carried out In most of the blouses. ' Braiding, embroder ics, soutachey tinsel, headings, or ap pliques trail their festiv art across that 'sartorial expanse, comminly known as the "gravy-dripping re gion." Another whiff from the fashion cauldron tells us that both afternoon and street dresses will be mainly made of blues, sand and gray, In con trast to the blouse realm of more garish hue. Dresses uilll be fuller, even a wee bouffant although the choker collar and basque remain "among those present.". Slashed tun ics over contrasting foundations will regin supreme. Tlaid taffetas In con servative colors, such as gray and blue, or brown and sand, Kvill be cause a split In fashion circles. Sonw houses Insist that It be normal; oth ers say that It shall be, below par and the great third party maintains that waistlineo have 'been, are, and a) ways shall b above par.

"Now, Tommy Smith," said the schoAl teacher one morning, during the usual hours of torture, "what Is the halt of eight?" ., , "Which way. teacher?" asked jhe youngster, pautiously. f "Which way!" replied the astonish ed lady. "What do you mean?' , "Well, on top or sideways, teacher?1' I said Tommy.
