O'Connell, law professor at University of Ore gon, has been appointed to the position by Gov. Robert D. Holmes. Lester Humphreys, Portland attorney, also has announced he will be a No vember candidate for the position. Clothing irl Fad right to the chemise and "mink" stole have come to , market and are selling like Cadillacs in Texas. It all started a few months ago when one enterprising manufacturer began making high-heeled pumps, according to a spokesman for one of the many stores stocking the make-believe items. From the plastic shoes, stockings just like mom's were a natural follow-up. Oh You Kid! Now, the "well - dressed make-believer can have a fringed chemise right out of the 1920's, with bag to match, long ropes of beads, fake fur stole, breton hat with 'tulle trim, even headbands. "I won't be surprised if the small fry start demanding wigs like their , mother's, said the buyer for one New York department store. "And of course by fall, let's-pretend will have adopted the tra peze." - Women's- Wear- Daily, the trade publication, said several manufacturers have climbed on the bandwagon. And the clothes are such a hit one toy buyer is having some "exclu sives" made for her depart ment, including a white bridal dress and veil to capitalize on the summer marrying sea son. Evening clothes also are fa vorites. "Now I'm a famous movie star, in my glittering strap less gown and tiara," reads the newspaper advertisement of a New York store. The dress is full-length, made of rayon taffeta, with elasticized "stay-up" bodice. Jtweli, T Shown with the dress are jewelled clutch bag, evening sandals trimmed evening mitts and rhinestone tiara yet. The fake fur stoles are of rayon plush and simulate either the natural, the greyed, or white mink. Bit cheaper, though. Some sell for as little as $2. Shoes which started out as fairly conservative get fancier each day. Some now are of transparent plastic with floral trim, some are gold mesh, others silver with blue trim. The "let's pretend" clothes come in three size ranges small, medium and large. Sof far the girls have the corner on the clothes. Any plans for boys who want to dress up like pop? "I doubt it," said one buy er. "I think they'd rather .be out playing baseball." 1 Mrs. Lydia Gqtf Hostess for Club The Friday Sunshine club was entertained recently at the home of Mrs. Lydia Goff on Beatty street.

IPdDilipaDraiipn'n Ever since childhood days Potpourri has heard about purple sage, but it wasn't until last Sunday .that we saw this beautiful plant in bloom. It grows in considerable abund ance in the Lava Beds National monument near Tulelake, Calif., and the bushes are a startling sight when found growing among the bleak-, black-lava boulders. The -royal purple flowers assume an added beauty against the stark rocks. - N . ' Pappy and Potpourri joined two other Mail Tribuners and their families last Sunday for an excursion into the famous Lava Beds country, and it, was one of those times when everything turns out just right: The sunny .day; wasn't too hot, the flowers were in bloom and the lava caves, cinder cones and: other phenomena of, the country afford an interesting and instructive day. It was a good day for picture "taking, too, and the Tribune party wasted -no- opportunity. Six adults and three youngsters made the trip, with five cameras. Earl Adams and Pappy both had their color cameras, Bob Vroman took along his press camera and the young Vromans took, two small cameras.. The camera carriers had, a field day in the caves. The "Visitor to the Lava Beds should not fail to explore the caves. Our group went down into two (about 3 ' p.m. Mon day Potpourri wished we had dne of those nice cool caves right under The Mail Tribune newsroom, where the ther mometer registered 86); , the Merrill ice cave, about a mile from the highway, has strong, firm steps leading down into, the opening and a sort of runway with a railing which aid the visitor. It is a wise idea to pick up the gasoline lanterns whitfh are available at headquarters without charge. Our party had qnly flashlights for the first cave, but before going down into the one near headquarters with the highly descriptive name of "Mushpot" cave, we picked ,up a couple of lanterns. Since at one low spot in Mushpot the visitor has to either waddle like a duck or get down on all fours, Potpourri would just as soon hear that the pictures taken at this point were all ruined. " 1 On the other hand, we hope that pappy's pictures of the purple sage and two or three other wildf lowers turn out well. In the museum there is a description of the sage, with the botanical name of salvia carnosa Douglas, unless our memory fails. When we inquired of the ranger in attendance if he could give us the name of , another flower, a smallish plant with a lavender, daisy-like blossom, he said. that it has never been classified. A naturalist sent to the area a few years ago to list the flora and fauna, could find no record of this particular flower, and so far as the ranger knew, it has not since been classified. '- The picnic dinner was eaten at the Eleener picnic ground, a pleasant spot in a grove of junipers equipped with camp stoves and tables, : other picnic necessities and even an interesting bit of wild life. A plumy-tailed grey squirrel hovered around, eagerly picking up the tidbits which the young Vromans threw his way, and an inquisitive blue jay also lunched with the 5 Medford group. Both pappy and Susan Vroman tried to take pictures of the two, but with little success. - Those who had ambition enough to climb, after eating Bob's expertly broiled steaks and a large quantity of other picnic goodies, went up to see the Fleener chimneys, narrow openings into the ground formed during a volcanic period when the pressure of hot gases blew the molten lava into the air above. To many visitors, Captain Jack's "stronghold" is the most interesting part of the monument. In this rugged and forbidding place, the Modoc Indian leader, Kientepoos, commonly called Captain Jack, and his men took advantage of the natural fortress-like rock formation and alleyways and successfully resisted the advances of the U.S. Army troops for. months. It has been written that almost as many American soldiers were killed by the Modocs as lost their lives in all of the battles of the Spanish-American war. The Indians, of course, bitterly resented the intrusions of the whites into territory which had always ' been theirs, and suffered much at the hands of the settlers. Before leaving. the. area the cameramen "took, shots of "Canby's Cross," a wooden cross erected at the spot where General Canby and other members of a peace commission were killed by the Modocs. This incident is vividly described in a book on Captain Jack written by Doris Palmer Payne of Klamath Falls. In concluding her book Mrs. Palmer wrote that "close to a million dollars in the currency of the day had been poured into the campaign against the Modocs." Hundreds of soldiers had marched as far as 200 miles, and fought side by side with volunteers and Warm Spring r Indians to subdue this band of 53 warriors, entrenched in the Lava Beds, defending -what they thought was their right to a home in their Lost river country." A 'visit to the Lava Beds is a fine way to remind our selves that generally speaking, the white man's treatment of the Indian is a shameful part of the nation's history. - Those who stayed indoors Tuesday and Wednesday nights instead of going out to watch the evening storm skies cheated themselves of a glorious sight. The cloud formations and colors, particularly Tuesday night, were , as spectacular as any we can remember having seen in the past., : While Pappy and Gene Cass worked at their cameras Wednesday night in the hope of catching some of the beauty on film, . Pappy remarked that the approaching rain bore out an old-timer's saying, repeated to him by Vern Brophy. It is to the . effect that three days after the first thunder head clouds form in the southeast, it will rain on the valley floor. O.S. A MEW LOOK AT HISTORY... . .
