Serak, an official of the International Associa tion of Clothing Design ers, told the convention of th at organization today. The com fortable, loose fitting, formless English sack suit will be worn and the tendency will be to ward broader shoulders, elim ination of the w aist line and baggier trousers with cuffs, he said. • TF| 7young men who go somewhat to the extrem e will wear plaited trousers with a oue button sack coat, and double breasted vest. R eferring to the broad er shoulders, the speaker said, “ I w ouldn't ven tu re to predict we are coming back to the extremes of 20 years ago — the m as sive ‘football’ shoulders and peg top trousers. But styles repeat themselves, so who can te ll? ” R -« R R R R R R R R R R Some concerted action must be taken, and taken im mediately in order that the Chautauqua building may be saved from possible destruction, is the concensus of opin ion of those who have sent in suggestions in answer to a a request made a few days ago by The Tidings. Almost all R of these suggestions received indicate a desire for a R small bond issue, in order that the building and the site R R upon which it stands may be preserved for future expan R sion of the park system. R Most of the suggestions indicate the opinion of the R citizens to l>e that the building, after being taken over by R the city, should be put under the supervision of the park R R board. It has been pointed out that little or no extra ex- R pense would be incurred in the maintenance of the build R ing should the city see fit to acquire it, since the men who R are now engaged in maintaining Lithia Park could also, R with little added effort, maintain the Chautauqua build R ing. Although there has been much talk of the city tak ing over the building, and almost everyone interviewed has expressed their opinion in this way, no concerted action has been taken. Some organization or group of or ganizations must take the matter up, or otherwise the building will certainly be lost. Several more suggestions have l>een received by The D eclares Tidings, and some of these follow: AT PUBLIC MEET TD YREKA PEOPLE More K lausm en W ill be Brought in if N eeded to Clean Up B ootleggers W. JUDSON O LDFIELD, Min-J inter— -“ I certainly believe thej city should take over the building and m aintain it as part of the city park system. The structure is a bigger asset to Ashland than! moat of the residents of this city believe. This fact is shown when it is realized th a t many lodges and other organizations, planning for their annual conventions, m ust take into consideration a city which has a building large enough to house the delegates, artd w ith the building here, Ash land can always make a bid for consideration. I believe the aw arding o f’the Odd Fellow's con vention to Ashland for this year came directly as a result of the C hautauqua building being locat ed here. These conventions bring delegates to a city, and these del egates spend their money in the city, thus adding much to the prosperity of the residents of thg convention city. The C hautauqua Associations throughout the country have not been organized as profit making organizations and therefore, since the Southern Oregon Chautauqua Association is no exception, the local body will never be able to raÿse the money. Certainly I think a small bond issue to cover th e mortgage on the building should be taken up by the city and the structure purchased.” MEN AND WOMEN IN NEWS OF THE DAY ■ I’OLITNESS PAYS, BUT NOT ALWAYS MAN FINDS « « ! « « ! 8 !» » New Election Reveals Peo « » ple More Strongly in » Favor of Idea » LITTLE O P P O S I TION » R esulta Sanie as Ohtained in De- » » cem ber Vote, D eclared Void. « O verw helining M ujority P R M 4U C 2ERDBCHEWO f MWOT K lX C F XXyTCXTR, FFATF 6 ¿fa): XTXIOAJCM The desire of Mary Miles Minter, screen star, to escape publicity received another jolt when a 350,000 slander salt, filed by her former cook, Katherine HerlJ^y, came up for trial In Los Angeles.

ONE OF FINEST OF KIND EVER PLAYED YREKA AGAIN IN FAVOR OF NEW WATER SYSTEM OF BILL IS PROPOSED i LOCAL BANK MEET IS IN 1AM E OF UNIVERSITY OFFERS t A ffairs o f C itizens Bank Are Prosperous, Annual M eeting Show s. O fficials R e-elected The annual meeting of the stockholders of The Citizens Bank of Ashland was held Thursday, Jan u ary 8. the date fixed by the state banking law. Tho meeting was well attended by stockholders, showing a keen interest in the bank’s affairs. The report of the past years business and earnings were read by the cashier,. V. O. N. Smith. These brought out several interesting m asters which give evidence of the growth of the institution ai.d the increasingly strong position which it holds. Deposits have m aintained a v’e ry satisfactory^level during the y ear,' being p articu larly strong during the summer and fall m onths of business activity. A new high record in total deposits wa9 established, the am ount be ing 36S6.593.39. In both gross and net earnings new high re cords were also established, and the am ounts paid out for inter est on deposits and for taxes were larger than in any previous year. It was .also stated th a t a new nest of safe-deposit boxes had been ordered, which were expect ed to arrive this m onth. This was made necesasry by the fact th a t the present supply of boxes are all rented most of the time, and the addition of the next boxes will again put the bank in position to supply the wishes of its patrons in this increasingly popular and usefnl departm ent of the bank. Reference was also made to the industrial development taking place in Ashland, which the bank has taken an active p art in foster ing and financing; to the new hotel and the benefit derived by Ashland producers and business houses from the business of the to u rist, which gives promise of increasing in volume as increased facilities are provided for his entertainm ent and accommoda tion; and the increased acreage now available for irrigation, all of which point to a bigger and b etter Ashland, and, together with the improved general conditions in his country and abroad, were responsible for a distinct note of optimism. Following the report and a dis cussion of some of the m atters referred to. the election of direc tors was h e’d.

Tabulation of the figures by U. F. Brown», city clerk, disclos ed the fact th at on proposition No. 1, the Decemberzvote was 390 for and 4 5 against the measure, while Tuesday’s vote was 399 for and 22 against it. Proposition No. 2 was carried in December by a vote of 285 to 45, while the second election saw it go over, 400 to ZZ. The principal fight came at both elections on Proposition No. 3, which provided for the pur chase of the Cady and Buckner tracts on which the w ater sup ply originates. The vote in De cember was 339 to 93, but Tues day the voters piled up a better m ajority, with 366 votes in its favor to 50 against it. Proposition No. 1 was for the concreting and covering of the reservoir, while proposition No. 2 provided for the construction of a modern septic tank. In the December election 438 votes were cast, while Tuesday saw 427 voters m arking ballots. W ith the bond issue made iron clad in legal standing, it is prob able th a t bids will be advertised for to comply w'ith the city’s or dinances, although three offers for the bonds, which will bear 5 1-2 per cent interest, have been made by San Francisco brokers. One of the firms offered to pay $2700 premium for the bonds, if the measures carried, and it is possible th at this offer will be bettered. As soon as minor technicalities are cleared away, the bonds will be sold and, when the money be comes available, work will begin on the new tank and the concret ing of the reservoir. It is planned th a t the properties will be taken over and the work completed so th a t Yreka may get the benefit of the improvements for the sum mer season of 1925. “ It is very gratifying th at the people of Yreka so unanimously backed the work of the board of trustees,” said Mayor Roy J. Schoen. “ We certainly appreciate th eir approval and we w ant to thank them. The passing of the bond issfle means a better and bigger Yreka for everybody.’’ F no . no » » « » » « « » » « « » ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 10. — L. W.

Therefore, when he was stepped on quite accident ally by a woman who en tered the elevator in which he was waiting to go up, he hurriedly got out of the way and asked her pardon for having been there. Two men who boarded the elevator with the wo man were squarely behind Jam es as he backed away and he jostled them. In the ensuing s c r a m b l e Jam es was knocked about quite a .bit.

The score was 34-15. The two squads will tan gle in another game at 8:30 this evening at the Armory. The five man defense of the visitors, together with a short bouncing pass had the locals puz zled during the first quarter, and in th a t period the tifbsle was a nip and tuck affair. Early in the game, however, the visitor^, show ed a lack of condition, and it was evident th a t it was only a m atter of time before the well- conditioned local outfit would run them off their feet. The visitors scored first, chalk ing up a pair of m arkers as the result of two free throw s by Hempy. B utterfield chalked up one for the locals wjth a free throw, and then put his team out in the lead with a field goal. From then on out, the locals were never headed. The score at the end of the first half was 13-6, the visitors scoring only ene field goal, obtaining their four rem aining points through free throws. Betweqn halves Coach Hughes corrected a fault which had been holding the locals offense back. During the first half Ashland had been allowing the Eugene fire man defense to get set before starting their offense, and as a result, the going was tough.
