According to a release from New York, where fashion press week is being held, this will be a "suit yourself" season. Trends go off in all directions and each individual can just decide what will be best for her. That's just fine. That's what we've been doing more or less for a long time now. We just buy new clothes we like when the old ones fall apart and then somewhat reluctant ly, having been raised in the belief that thrift is a virtue and that nothing should be wasted. Of course, we try not to be conspicuous by wearing skirts which are 12 Inches from the floor when everyone is wear ing them with 16 to 18 inches clearance. This skirt-length business is queer anyway. While talking with a saleslady last week the two of us got off on this subject and she said "I vowed up and down that I wouldn't shorten my skirts any more this summer, but I did. I think it's strange that an out-of-date skirt length not only looks strange, but they feel queer. I put on a dress the other day that I hadn't worn for some time and the skirt didn't feel comfortable at all. It was very strange." One of these days we must find out what the feminine tennis players in Medford are wearing. If they have adopted the newest in tennis clothing we'll bet the men players will have trouble concentrating on their games. Reports from England's Wimbledon, and pictures, showed the tennis cham pions all decked out in lace, chiffon and feathers. Pictures in the N.Y. Times showed Pat Eldrich of the U. S. team wearing a lace tennis dress with a cape to match which was one mass of lace ruffles. Mimi Arnold, another U.S. player, wore a dress of embroidered lace, also in tiers of ruffles. Lea Pericoli of Italy wore a fly-away chiffon outfit, the dress being embroidered with golf motifs and diamente. Florence de la Courtie of France was pictured wearing lace ruffles, and Sylvana Lazzarino, Italy, had a satin tennis dress with ostrich-feather trim around the bottom of the brief, full skirt. These gals weren't sitting in the stands they are tennis champions and were playing in serious com petition. The boss was wondering the other day when manufac turers would get around to putting out paper throw-away clothing. "If someone could make a white paper shirt for 59 cents, or so, to be worn once or twice and then discarded, it would be a boon to the American male, and to women who do the home laundry," he opined. Well, we haven't heard anything recently about paper clothing, but a recent issue of the Wall Street Journal had an article which predicted that the time Is soon coming when women's hose will be so inexpensive that they will be discarded after wearing, like paper handkerchiefs. Earlier this year several firms came out with seamless nylons which it was said wouldn't run even if scratched by cats or scraped by thorns. They cost $2 a pair. However, the New York stores which conducted tests soon altered their advertising and called them run-resistant hosiery. It was found that the hose did snag and get holes, and that because the new lock stitch requires more yarn, they are not very sheer. The Journal also described a new cheap hose selling for 59 cents. The Journal said these stockings are produced by skipping the knitting of the heel pocket, a key step In the manufacture of conventional hose. The stockings come off the machines as a straight nylon tube and then are molded to shape on aluminum frames. A representative for Sears, Roebuck and company, which tested the hose by offering them in a Chicago store at two pairs for a dollar reported "We haven't had any unfavorable reaction whatsoever." The Journal also reported that in Germany stockings are now reported selling at 25 cents a pair, and that the German women are purchasing an average of more than 17 pairs a year. American women buy an average of 12 pairs a year. Some stockings, in boxes the size of cigarette packs, are being sold through vending machines in German restaurants and railway stations. For at least 20 years now we've been hearing, one way and another, that American firms could make hose to sell for 29 cents a pair and still have a reasonable profit. Ap parently they waited until foreign competition forced them to do so. O.S. Sij' I. . . One of the lraaturas of J. W. Shirley, Central Point.

Central Phone 772-4131 1 There's a world fair going on in Seattle this year, and those who attend return home talking about the Space Needle, the science exhibits, the displays from foreign countries and they bring back mementos and souvenirs. J. W. Shirley, who lives at 247 South Second street in Central Point, has a souvenir from an earlier fair, V e Lewis and Clark Centennial exposi tion held in Portland in 1905. It is doubtful if a similar sou venir could be found at the Seattle World's Fair. Mr. Shirley's souvenir is a book made up of work done by the pupils in the school in which he taught at the time. The Central Point man was principal of an elementary school in Crawtordsville, Ore., in 1905, and taught all sub jects for 20 pupils in the grades five through 8. When the exposition was in the planning stages, schools in Oregon were asked to set aside samples of the daily , work of pupils in all subjects and make them into displays for an educational exhibit. The pages in the book were actually the daily assignments as turned out by the puplls they were not changed. A statement from the teacher concerning the validity of the material was included, and on tests, the time the student took in writing the test and how many pupils were in the class was noted. A study of the book shows that the writing, even for small children, was exception ally good - most of the chil dren wrote with a clear, legible hand. Glancing over the arithmetic problems with a reporter, Mr. Shirley re marked that he believes teachers of the early days managed to teach their pupils a great deal, even when one teacher had four or five grades. For instance, Mr. Shirley started teaching decimals to his pupils in the second grade, and remembers that most of them had little trouble. Mr. Shirley had thought little of the fair book until one day In May when one of his former pupils, John Green, who lives in southern California, came to call. The two men had not met In more than 50' years and in the course of their reminiscing, the matter of the preparation of the books for the fair came to mind. Mr. Shirley's sou-; venlr book was brought out, and the two men spent con siderable time going over the pages. They recalled that In , those days, the school sys tems furnished neither text books or writing materials each pupil provided his own. , The two men spoke of the ! "deportment contests" held j each month. The school would be divided into teams, chosen by designated leaders, and winning team at the end of the month would be dismissed I early as a reward. ! Mr. Shirley, now 89 years ; old, will not be able to at tend the Seattle World's Fair, but he did visit the 1005 ex position. He remembers that most of the buildings were painted while. The forestry building, made of logs, re mained standing and was used for many years. When Mr. Shirley moved to Jackson county from Craw fordjvllle, he became the first principal of the old North ' school, now known as Lin coln, In Medford. Later he worked In the county court-; house as a deputy county treasurer and as a deputy sheriff, and then became a bank bookkeeper. When he reads about some projects to raise money, Mr. Shirley remembers that wbn i he went to Crawtordsville school there was no library. So, with the help of parents, he orgainieriA 4 igre-s of box I suppers and bought books with the proceeds. In spile of his advanced years, Mr. Shirley still takes an interest in community life, and particularly the schools. He is doubtful about some of the modern practices, ap proves of others, and believes that it is vital that the public school system be the best the country is able to provide. Picnic Held The annual Harney county picnic was held July 8 at Tou Vclle State park. Former resi dents of Harney county now living In Ashland, Crescent City, Calif., Cave Junction, Gold Hill, Phoenix, Talent, Central Point and Medford attended.
