Triumph of the One Piece Suit
The inspiration of the feminine fashions of today is
unquestionably the one-piece bathing suit The closer
domes resemble this artistic drapery of nature, the more
fashionable. Fair, fat and forty, vies with slim sweet sixteen
in displaying charms and wrinkled seventy is no trailer in the
procession, lhc slender grace of the young maiden contrasts
with the substantial understanding of the middle-aged
matron. The Psyche of the city parades her beauty no more
recklessly than the Ceres of the fields.
But the one piece bathing suit has not won its victory,
even on the beaches, without a long and bitter struggle.
Consider its history, as related by the New York World:
Twenty years nfjo a lady took her din in a costume which included
the following: A pair of bloomers, a blouse, a cornet, a skirt, a pair
of stockings, a pair of slippers, a bathing-cap, and ribbons which
laced up over the stockings and tied above the knees. There come a
movement to abandon slippers, and there was a howl. Nevertheless,
clippers went. There came a movement to abandon corsets, and there
was another howl. Nevertheless, corsets went. Tbero came move
ments to abandon other articles of the original costume, and there
were more howls. Not to be indelicate about the metamorphosis of
the bathing lady, things were discarded right and left until at
present she stands forth In a one-piece suit, with a wisp of a skirt on
It, and all the other accoutrements are gone and completely forgotten.
She stands forlh, and she is accepted; there is none so bold as to say
her nay. And it Is discovered that the new costume is more healthful
and better in every way. The moral Is; Hunt soit qui mul y penae.
The triumph of the one-piece suit is now complete. Its
influence, its spirit, permeates, it might be said, dominates,
the feminine world of fashion. So closely is it copied that
from a distance the fashionably attired woman of today, at
social functions or on the street, creates the illusion of being
on the way to a swim, or a stroll on the beach, an illusion
heightened by the wallpaper figured light wraps, designed
also on beach models.
Of course a close inspection reveals that the one-piece
suit has not been entirely copied, several other articles of
apparel still survive, in more or less abrcviatcd form, hung
on, as it were, for ornament or embellishment, mostly in an
artistic way to increase the illusion and the cost, but there
can be no question as to th inspiration.
Who shall, however, say that tfie merits of the one piece
suit do not entitle it to its present vogue? It is certainly
healthier, more comfortable, and better in every way. Let us
hope it has come to stay, for who would go back to the
monstrosities of the past, to the hoop-skirt, to the wasp
waist, to the hustle, to the puffed sleeves and trailing skirts
of past generations?
head loomed Gregory Hewitt' face,
which he was struggling to con
trol. A. giggle caught In Patricia's
throat and turned into a hiccup.
Hewitt's shoulders shook. Sudden
ly, unable to control her emotions
any longer, Patricia broke Into
laughter so Infections that Howltt
chuckled.
"If you think this Is funny "
roared Andrew, facing her with
utter disregard of the car, which
promptly came to a wheezing halt
"I I don't!" gulped his Wife,
choking back another laugh.
"Here If you'll support Mrs
Hewitt I'll run the darned thing,"
offered Hewitt. "Used to bo an
elevator boy myself, you know."
"Gregory, don't leave me!" wall
ed Mrs. Hewitt, clinging tighter
than ever to his neck, but he di
engaged her anna and transferred
her to Andrew's, as Impersonally
as if ahe had been part of the ele
vator. "You've saved the day," Patricia
told him, while Andrew persuaded
Mrs. Hewitt not to have hysterics.
'Andrew would probably have shot
us through the roof."
"All right, I'm going to claim a
reward." Kor a moment his steel
blue eyes held hers, and Patricia
felt oddly shivery. What was he
going to say next? He was smiling.
as if he felt very sure of himself
and very sure of her. He laid hia
free hand lightly on her shoulder,
where she felt Us warmth through
the trifle lace that was her sleeve.
Then he withdrew it and the curi
ous smile broadened Into a grin.
"I'm going to insist on having
hash for breakfu.Ht,"
I fash ! Patricia's heart sank.
You could buy eggs or bacon or
anything simple. Hut hash had to
have a full refrigerator behind it!
"All right," she answered. "I'll
tell cook." Hnd she seen ads for
canned hash, or was she only hop-
ng that she had, she asked her
self as they got out at the top floor.

CLEVER RUSE
(Continued from Page Three.)
Damage estimated at $2500 was
done when the hot water tank at
the rear of the T. M. Uarr plumb
ing ehop, 164 South Commercial
street, exploded Friday afternoon
Two huge plate glass window
panes In the front of the eh on
woro completely demolished, glass
ueing thrown Iar out into the
street.
The water tank being In th
basement, there was no sharp re
port heard when it burst. A dull
thud could he heard, accompanied
by a tremendous shaking that was
felt throughout the entire vicln
ity. Many persona - thought at
tiret that an earthquake had tak
en place.
A largo lathe In the rear of the
plumbing shop was almost totally
destroyed.
Miss Irene Pierce, who is em
ployed in the office, was slightly
cut about the face by flying glas3.
Aside from Mies Pierce no one was
injured. The blast occurring aft-
5 o'clock, It is considered that
the lives of one or more men who
commonly work in the roar of the
shop were probably saved. Thoy
had quit work at o o clock. About
15 workmen arc employed by the
shop, many of them habitually
working witaitt range of tbe ex
plosion.
Tho tank, which had a capacity
of approximately 150 gallons, was
used to heat water for the Valley
Grille, a restaurant located next
door. The water was heated by j
coils in a nearby 'furnace.
definitely know, but is believed to
have been -due to failure of the
safety valve to operate effectively,
According to workmen tho re had
been nothing noticed to indicate
that the valve was defective.
Pieces of the luthe, located Im
mediately above tho tank, were
hurled through the floor of the
main room, some pieces even be
ing forced on up through the roof.
A huge timber supporting the roof
crashed down, demolishing a con
siderable amount of machinery.
Gas pipes running into the
building were broken and gas was
escaping In largo quantities until
disconnected by the local fire de
partment, which was called to the
scene.
Two small windows, on both
sides of the entrance at the front
of tho store, remained Intact.
Windows In the double door at
the entrance were also left un
broken.
No particular damage was done
outside the immediate shop where
the explosion took place, although
a small shed In the rear of the
Valley Grille was somewhat dam
aged- Windows on the south side
of the building remained for the
most part undamaged. Windows in
the rear and north side of the
building were demolished, a few
being taken out with such force
that part of the brickwork was
torn looso.
Workmen were clearing away
the debris today.

"Instead of going east, Mur

came down the river and went to

"Perfect Gentleman"
"I want to say right here that 1
never met Buch a perfect gentle
man as Murray. I would not have
turned him In but for the fact
that he declared I was a menace
to society and a lot of such stuff,
as that. When he did that I made
up my mind that I would turn him
over to the authorities, so when
we arrived here I took him to the
Savoy hotel and we got a room.
Then we planned to do a etfekup
here. I left him in the hotel and
called upon Charles Pilling, mem-!
ber of the night police force and
hired him to aid in the stick-up.
Of course this was all bluff, but
a part of my game. Then I called
on George Barner, mayor of this
city, and hired him to be taxi
driver.
My next move was to return to
the hotel, go to our room, tell
Murray everything was all right
and to come ahead. We go down
stairs and I Introduce him to
Pilling and Barner and tell him
they are to assist us in the stick
up and everything is all right,
not to fear.
No Resistance
'Just at that point, Pilling and
Barner stick their guns in Mur
ray's ribs and, quick as a flash he
tumbles and exclaims, 'pretty
clever'.'' I
"That was all he said. He went
silent from then on and did not
say another word, but I could tell I
he was doing some mighty tall
thinking. Because of this I will
try to get him out of here on the
3 o'clock train this morning to
Portland where ho can be kept in
safety."
Murray was tken to the local
jail and locked up under heavy
guard. He ate a hearty supper, but
refused to talk or make any com
ment on what had happened.

To the Editor: Tn my Capital
Journal of Thursday tho 20th
are these words: "Ignorance
among newspaper reporters and
head writers regarding primitive
man is even more denso than it is
concerning evolution, if it bo pos
sible. ' How true that is. This
trying to locate tho time when
"primitive man" came upon tho
stngo of life is about good as
wasted, because nobody knows.
The geological strata can reveal
nothing as just how old this
strata is no one knows.
Of course the scientists tell us
what they think which amounts
to just what they don't know.
Some of them are thousands of
years apart. For instance Sir
Charles Lyoll, tho famous lOnglish
geologist, who died in 1875, tliot
man had been on earth 200,000
years. Thomas Storry Hunt thot it
was 9,000,000. It is said the
French astronomer Lalandc had no
figures long enough and so con
cluded that humanity was eternal.
Some of our modern investi
;ators aro not so lavish in years.
so they put the time not more than
10,000 or 12,00v years and some
of them less. I list Geo. Frederick
Wright, Prestwick, Prof. It. D.
Slllsbury and Dr. Warren Uphain,
American geologists, Dr. Jas.
(Toll. Could name others. Prof.
W. H. Haynes, American geologist,
says: "Tho evidence for tho an
tiquity of man on the hypothesis
of evolution is purely speculative,
no human remains having as yet
been found In either the mionceno
or pllocener strata.
The late professor Jos. LeConte
of the University of California,
said tho same. Prof. Alex Winch
ell, geologist, In "Sketches of
creation'', says: "The very be
ginnings oE our race are almost in
sight."
So I guess I had better stop as
that takes us back no further
than Genesis and further Adam.

Welcome Home
Another idol is found to have foot of clay, for the myth of
another "master criminal" has boon shattered and Tom
Murray stands revealed ns simply an ordinary desperado with
plenty of during and litllo mentality. His escape ran be
credited to luck rather than plan, and lack of brains
accounts for his capture.
Having been favored by circumstances in making a clever
though bloody get-away, Murray sjmils it all by bragging of
his identity ' ' . ' and with a price on his
head, was of course betrayed. Not the shrewdness of pence
officers, but his own folly brings Ihe dub back to the shadow
of the gallows.
Of course Murray has a twisted mentality, or he would
not be lending a career of crime, and if he had brains enough
to plan a "big thing" he would not be serving time for little
ones. Nevertheless he will be a hero to many and strenuous
efforts be put forlh to save his worthless neck.
As there is no punishment provided for prisoners who
escape, unless they arc trusties who have broken their word,
Murray should be received with open arms and the prison
band play "Sec, the conquering hero comes." Warden
Dalrymple ought to be so glad to welcome his wandering boy
back for the third lime to his club, that he should kill Hie
fatted calf, serve an extra dish of ice cream, provide a
fresh pipe of merrawanna and a new deck of cards for the
evening's poker game, following the radio concert.
