Fashion-conscious women can quit worrying about what
will be smart this fall, and what won't be. 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an out-of-date skirt length not only looks strange, but they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.

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

picnic was held July 8 at Tou
