( Wasp Waists' Bulging Hips Go Into Discard mm BOY HERO OF MARINE DISASTER "Among those who performed hero ically in rescuing the ill-fated pas sengers of the Manette disaster Sun day, was H. H. Grazier. It has de veloped that Mr. Grazier is worthy of exceptional honor, so calmly and bravely was his wrk done, as he re' peatedly went back into the water to save another of the terror stricken vie Urns of the sad affair. .. "He saw twhere two sisters were clinging to piles and assisted them to the shore. While saving one of the sisters, he was nearly drowned for she in terror repeatedly hampered his wrk, holding his head beneath the water. Grazier also saved a small boy and a lady, who, when he came to her assistance said 'help the others, I can hang on a little longer.' "It is regrettable that the name of this brave lady, who, thought chilled to the bone by the water, yet thought of the safety of others in their com mon misfortune, could not be learned. Grazier Is a shipfitter in the navy yard. - He suffered no ill effects from his Immersion other than a bad cold." 968.759 Acres Land Now Under Irrigation There -is a total of 968,759 acres of land unrlar Irrigation in Oregon, ac cording to a statement just prepared hv Pemv A.

JOURNAL WANT ADS PAX LITTLE DAMAGE FROM FLOOD IS ANTICIPATED Portland, Ore., Dec. 22.---There is little danger of a freshet damaging property in Portland and vicinity, de spite the fact the Willamette river has isen 1.7 feet during the laBt 24 hours according to the weather bureau. The river is rising slowly at other valley points, with the exception of Eugene where there has been a drop of a foot. The river was seven feet at Eugene today as compared with eight feet Sunday. At Albany it rose from 13.2 to 13.8 feet; Salem from 18.3 to 14 feet, and Oregon City 10.8 feet ac compared wlthr 9.6 feet Sunday, As the Columbia Is still low, the excess water In the Willamette is running off rapidly and the stream will be abld to hold Its own, it Is said, unless there should be a much more decided Increase in water from above than is coming at present. Chicago, Dec. 22. The present day "sensible and smartly supple" corset will remain true to form, Miss Varlna M. Losey, an executive of the Kabo Corset company, revealed today, It is the only article of women's wearing apparel which shows no sign of changing styles Miss Losey said. The "wasp waist" and the "bulging hips" will never return, according to Miss Losey, although "there have been murmurings for the outre and less accredited corset designers" of a return to the form of the past, "But these can' accomplish no more than could one with his bare fists hope to batter down the solid wall of the Singer building," Miss Lo- sey continued. . ' a tub sane ana suDstantiai raiiK ana file of American womanhood votes emphatically against a return to- the days of torture when a corset wap tt cruel vise which distorted the female form divine Instead of the gentle and comfortable mold and support which It is today." ! , ' Women will continue to enjoy t,ie "luxury and the grace" of a comfort able, natural waist; trim, snug hips and very low bust lines on cornets, Miss Losey stated. "'" ' "'."." "Women everywhere show a decid ed preference for the low bust corset, with which they use snug, close fit ting brassieres and bandeaux to give neat lines about the waist," she said. Busts, if anything, will be even lower this season, Miss Losey an nounced. (Of course, they will be re inforced by brassieres or bandeaux.) "Skirts of corsets will be a trifle longer," she added, "so as to carry out more than ever the straight, slender hip lines. "The new gowns will show consid erable fullness of drapery over the hips but it is plain to the most cas. ual observer that this fullness is mere ly 'camouflage' and underneath the bouffant drapery is a trim, straight snugly confined hip line."
