A few days ago the papers announced the death
of that great- good man so widely known all over
the United States—Col. George W. Bain of Lexing­
ton, Ky., aged 86. Few men ever addressed so many
persons or in as many places, or had more real
friends than he. People never got tired of ¡teeing
and hearing him. He was at the Ashland Chautau­
qua three times—1910, 1913 and 1915, each time de­
livering two or three lectures. The last time he
was here he was taken violently sick, and all of his
fecture dates on the Coast had to be cancelled.
He went direct from here to one oY the big
Chautauquas in Ohio and delivered the last lecture
on the program. And although two of the greatest
lecturers of the American Platform had spoken
there a few days before, the people eaid Col. Bain’s
was the finest one of all!
Me wrote more than once that of^all the num­
erous places he had lectured that there was no place
that he would rather speak than in Ashland, Ore­
gon. He liked the place and its people. Traveling
in the cars—three thousand miles from Ashland—
a stronger, talking with him inquired about the
Pacific* Coast and wag told that Ashland, Oregon
was the finest little city he had ever visited. Mr.
<*Stranger” came to Ashland to see if the report
was true,— found it was, and invested many thous­
and dollare here, and did very many things which
have been of very great importance to all of its
dwellers- and also the surrounding country. Only
a few -weeks ago the Colonel wrote a fine letter to
one of his Ashland friends.
CoL Bain’s influences as a lecturer and as a
Christian gentleman, will remain for many, many
years to come.—Contributed.
Automobile Regulation
The problem of regulation of automobile driv-
ing become» more difficult each yeaT, as the number
of drivers increases. The laws and the enforcement
have been tightened up a good deal, efforts are made
all the time to educate people to show proper care.
And yet the number of accidents is something enor­
mous, and may increase still further.
The fundamental trouble in the majority of the
accidents, is that the drivers were going too fast, If
they had had their cars under better control, they
could have stopped when that car dodged out
from a side street," or a child ran out in'front of tho
car, or the pedestrian tried to cross in the wrong
place.
A great number of drivers consider only their
intense love for going fast. They are driving for
pleasure, they are thrilled by the rapid motion. And
if they are on some errand of business- they are so
impatient to get to their destination that they must
hurry along at a rate of speed so high as to con­
stitute a peril.
But while such rapid speeds may not be any
great hazard in the open country, they get many
drivers in a dangerous habit. *If one is running
40 or 50 miles an hour, and on coming to a town
he slows down to 25 miles, he may think he is pro­
ceeding at a very cautious pace. But even at 25
miles an hour, his car has a lot of momentum. If
someone dodges out from an unexpected spot, it will
take him quite a number*of yards to jwue to a Stop
and a collision may result, or a jiedestryin or child
be run over.
People must be argued and reasoned with over
and over again, they need to lose their driving
licenses in many cases, until they thoroughly learn
to use judgment about speed, and adopt their rate
of motion to the conditions through which they arc
passing in our cities here in Oregon.
The failure of millions of the American people
to vote is an unfortunate modern development.
How can. we w ake these people up, and induce them
to take their part in making a better country?
It would help young people from the habit of
taking an interest in public affairs, if they had*to
make a study of important public questions in their
schools. At present for instance, if school pupils had"
to inform themselves on the relations of this country
with Mexico and China- the labor questions of the
I »resent day, efforts of the fanners to improve their
economic condition, etc.,, they would be more likely
to read about such questions later on, and thus be­
come interested enough to take part in governing
the country.

HOLLYWOOD, —
Lopsided
fads have the day this spring. Ev­
erything from hem lines to hat
brims are uneven in Hollywood.
Claire Windsor wears a strik­
ing felt sport hat with a brim that
is an inch wide on the left side
and six inches wide on the right.
Norma Shearer sponsors the un­
even hem line for both street and
evening wear. All variety of hem
lines are being worn. Some are
mubh shorter in the front than
the back, while others are long on
one side and short on the other.
The vogue for combing the hair
off one ear and over the other
sttll is popular hi Hollywood and
thia contributes to the general lop­
sided effect.
Eleanor Boardman sponsors the
uneven neck line for evening,
wearing a gown of white satin
with a broad band of ostrich fea­
thers covering one shoulder.

Amaryllis looked np at him and
said: “Then I’m worse off than you.
'cause I haven’t any one any day?
Amaryllis was very wild-rose
pink, and sky-blue and sun-gold, and
she'd had splendid luek about not
falling into the water on account of
experience with Castile soap. Her
lacy skirts and rnffly dress were
