On a hike It is. necessary to have some protection against sunburn, particularly In the mountain regions, nnd for tills purpose eitiier a gener ous smearing ot the exposed skin with freshly prepared cold cream and a heavy covering of talcum or a smearing of alnc oxlilo ointment will afford Bocid protection. Tho walking shoes should bo light snled, broad low heeled or ruhbor heeled, neither tight as dress shoes nor any looser than ts necessary to avoid all presmire, and the soft up pers should extend at least half way up the log. The toes should bo broad and glvo room to permit free wrig gling of tho toes within. Tho shoes should bo roomy enough to permit wearing a cork insole as a cushion fur tho feet, or perhaps thick or double wool socks for that purpose. For hiking over soft ground, turf nr in the woods, moccasins are far better than any shoes. Ussy or "athletic" union suits of nil wool or silk and wool should be worn by hikers In nil seasons, nnd light weight, of course. You may understaiKl the reason for this If you will put on a wet cotton nr linen bathing suit nnd stand or walk In tho wind and then try tho ex periment with a wet woolen bath ing suit. Women should Wear bloomers for hiking Jimt as they do for uthletlcs In the better colleges. A good wool sweater Is better than any kind of coat. v A felt hut with medium size brim Is most satisfactory head covering in Ml weathers. (Set the hat a size loo large and remove tho lining, so that the felt will fling to the hair. Klalinel shirt or middy is the best body rnverlng. This, too. should bo ptnvlMccd a size too large, to allow fur shrinkage; and It should be light weight. It Is best to nvoid water proor material except for the pack cover ing or tent.

I doubt this statement, altho I would thank you heartily in advance for any in- formation you may have in tho mat - tor. llnulrtftil. Answer Gossip of that -kind is generally made of whole cloth. Here is a fair anil proper rulo which 1 commend to any nnd every young woman contemplating marriage: No engagement to marry should bo even considered until the suitor has pre sented to tho parent or guardian a certificate of health from a physician in good standing. This is the only protection wo can give, tho prospec tive bride against tho risk of ruinous disease, I believe. In view of tho customs and views of our times, a young man, any young man, ought to undergo tho necessary examination and obtain tho health certificate be fore he ventures to propose mar riage; nnd every parent who has a daughter to give in mnrringo is morally if not religiously or legully bound to prutect that daughter to this extent no matter who or what the suitor may be.

COMMUNICATIONS An Ai.Mer to Mr. riilpps. ' - To the Kdltor: The communication from Mrs. Ilowley's attorney. K. Phipps, In yesterday's tribune is easily under stood. Home yenrs ago the tate pass ed an net" called the water cmle. The purpose was to determine what rights each of tho users tn a stream nnd to tl' use of the waters of that stream. When these facts were de termined and the water of the stream carefully measured, from year to year, then the difference between the waters that belonRed to users under vested rights and the flow of the stream left the water that gas subject to future uses The pur- a, '102:. 1 I ' 40eOAFff W Wlio rentciiibcrs ' wlien a feller wore ii hlK-plicid pluitl Bull 'eutise io win o skii1, nil' not. because lie wins Klltiit' ole?

It was llko a merchant inveiitorylnir a stock of goods; as he. Hold ho would deduct from tho Inventory; tho balance always showed t.ho amount of stock in tno store. Bo. after a stream Is adju dicated, aa tho law calls It. tho rights of everybody havo been determined bv a decree. . Tho sum of these waters decreed to these users deduct ed from tho flow of tho stream shows tho amount of water left for a city, or other user, to take. This was done. In the caso of Rogue Itlver and all of its tribu taries. Ulg Butto is one ot tho prin cipal tributaries of ltoguo river. The law requires every, user to put In Ills claim. In order thut ho can get a decree for his part of tho water. Vt'hon tho waters of Itoguc river were thus adjudicated some 900 claimants, under almost that many ditches, put in their claims to the waters of Itogue river nnd the streams that run into It. The Row ley interests had no claim and so put in none. They "never have used a drop of water from this Btream in their lives.
