America.
All that is due to our immi-
gr.ition laws which keep out of
the United States the white Eu
ropean population that we need,
the men and women that made
this country what it is.
Shutting out such immigra-
gration, we build up other na
tions.
The former Kaiser, who must
have done some hard thinking in
the last few years, tells Sylvest
er Viereck, “ today the center of
gravity which determines world
power has shifted to the United
States. America is master of the
world.”
America probably COULD be
master of the world. But to de
sire that mastery would be fool
ish. To be masters of ourselves,
mind our business, develop this
country and increase the well-be
ing of the average man, is a big
enough task.
The Prince o f Wales shakes
hands, by mistake, with a waiter,
best dressed man, probably, at a
business men’s dinner.
“ But, ?ir, I’m only a waiter.”
“ I don’t see that that makes
any difference,” says the Prince
shaking hands over again.
The tryant was annoyed when
Solon told him there could be
good government “ only when
kings become philosophers, or
philosophers become kings.” The
young Prince! leaves philosophy
to professors. But he knows that
royalties achieve permanency by
becoming democratic.

Local Hikers Reach
Summit o f Mt. Wagner
A party o f hikers from the
normal school and the high
school succeeded in reaching the
summit of Mt. Wagner Sunday
morning after an all night hike
under the leadership of Wayne
Hells, head o f the science de
partment of the normal school,
and Harold Allison from the R>-
cal high school.
Forty-eight students assembled
at the Plaza Saturday night at
7 :30 and took the trail to the
Skyline mine where they rested
for a few hours and ate before
continuing tl>5 climb. Several re

leaving 29 to complete the trip.
The summit was reached about
10 o'clock Sunday morning. Ow

were unable to see much o f the
unrounding territory altho Mt.
Ashland was seen for a short in
terval. The party did not remain
long on the summit on account of
the cold wind and the snow
which was over knee deep in
places.

‘‘YVomanless Wedding” Director
Possesses Uncanny Memory
If you were to be introduced
to 76 people in three days time,
people that you had never seen
or heard of i.eioie, how i.iany do
you think you would i «member
well enough to pick them out in
i a crowd and call them by name?
Miss Dorothea Jacob, director of
the Kiwanis play the “ Womanless
| Wedding,” staged last night at
the armory, can meet innumer
able people, call for a rehearsal,
and as the men come in call them
j by name, not their first name
necessarily, because she never
lets her association with; folks
get on a personal plane.
How does she do It? That was
the question that was asked her
this morning, as she was combin
ing a late breakfast with an early
lunch, after a strenuous evening
of supervising the makeup, and
costuming of 73 Ashland men,
and then seeing that they carried
out their part in', a manner that
would do justice to a veteran of
the stage, and this after only
three rehearasls.
“ It is really very pimple,” was
her reply. “ When I meet a man,
I associate his name with his
business, and with the role that
he is to be cast ia, Every man
has some definite e lharacteristic
his height, his shoulders, hi*
nose, his eyes or r hpir, there is
always something about him that
is easy to remenibe^. Then asso
ciate this feature with the name,
makes it eomparatfselv easy.”
"E asy?” We were dRiit skep
tical. It did not sound so^easy.
“ Well,” she went on to explain
“ I always have been interested
in people, and it seems since I
1 was a little girl I could remem-
, bcr names quite well, then since
i 1 have been out on the road con
ducting shows o$ this kind, that
association o f names and faces
| has become rather a stock in
: trade. I have to do it. When I
leave a community 1 attempt to
forget all of the names and have
I my mind fresh and clear for the
next town.”
Miss Jacob first became inter
ested in dramatics when just a
very small girl. She was assigned
the part of a pickaniny in a min
strel show that was put on at her
home town, Acklin, Iowa. After
finishing high school, she attend
ed the state university at Iowa
City where she specialized in
dramatics. Completing her work
there, she had charge of the
dramatic department of several
schools and three years ago, she
accepted her present position
with the Simpson Levie company,
owners and originators of the
“ Womanless Wedding.”
So there you are men, there is
really nothing to get egostical
about, just because a charming
young lady whom you have met
but once remembers you so well.
There are seventy or eighty
others that made just the same
kind of an impression as you did,
and she did not remember you
because of your fatal beauty, oh
no, not at all, she remembered
you because you fit in with her
general scheme of things and if
you didn’t happen to match up,
well.it would
just too had,you
probably wouldi.’t be remember
ed five minutes.

ENDERS PLAN A
W ill H a w Open House at Store

A fashion show wiih a num
ber of Ashland’s most charming
women and girls will ttke place
at the Vining theatre on the
evenings of Thursday and Friday

The trend of fashio i will be
plainly manifest in the new
spring frocks of personality, the
classic English tweed ensemble,
the smart sport tailored suit,
coats that arc Paris favorites,
chic headliners from the ultra
chapeau to the tailored straw and
felt hat for sports wear, the flat
tering new footwear in the popu
lar color groups, and all the ac
cessories that make the easter
outfit most complete, such as the
newest purses.the latest novelties
in jewelry and lengths of silken
hosiery will be disclosed to the
patrons of the Vining on these
two evenings and all for the regu
lar price of admission.
Enders’ Spring opening will
take place on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday of this week, when
the public will be privileged to
see the many charming novelties
and everything conceivable in
the spring apparel for men, wo
men and children. Living models
will appear disporting the new
spring apparel for men, wo-

According to Mr. Enders, this
will be the largest assortment of
spring garments and accessories
that has ever been shown in the
Rogue river valley, and a record
crowd is anticipated.

“ Jackson county

cheering message of L. P. Wilcox,
county agent in charge of the
horticultural division, who is
making his first of what will be

Mr.
Wilcox will devote every Tues

have his headquarters at the

The county official explained
his original statement further by
declaring that the rain fall of last
year was so abundant that it gave
the trees every opportunity to
sequre a healthly thrifty growth,
which has resulted in excellent
buds.
The only thing now that could
bring disappointment would be
the frost hazard, and the official
explained that this hazard did not
bother the Ashland orchardists
as much as it did those residing in
the upper Rogue river valley.
