(By Margaret Mason. Written for the United Press.) Rub-a-dub-dub, Three gowns in a tub, And what do you think they bef A linen, a crepon, A nainsook with lace on; Wash 'em out, clean, all three. New York, May 31. The best line on summer fashions is the wash line. You are quite sale in clothespiuning your faith to the divers laundry loving fabrics that now reveal their unshrink able and fadeless charms on smart shop customers. They all rise trium phant as Venus from the suds and defy even an amateur wash artiste to rub her worst. Time was when a cotton pirnt, a calico or a seersucker made up the de spised wash adjunct to milady's ward robe and was donned only for morning housework wear. Now you may find a wash counterpart for almost every tabric of the loom. Even the exquis ite -velvet broche of the winter is aped amazingly by the brocaded cotton eponge; The pompadour cotton voiles and French crepes are adorable and floral bordered organdies, silk mulls and batistes are sheer delights. Charming are the embroidered cot- ton crepes and voiles on which tiny nosegays are scattered in has relief, These are found only in the more ex- pensive imported materials whose un- shrinkable propensities will act in- versely on your purse. Home .grown printed products can be utilized with quite as stunning results, however. Only a close inspection will reveal the difference between printed domestic bouquets and the embossed imported flora, What's the use of fast colors if they don't runf The fadeless dyes of the futurist eponge, ratine and wash silks will easily win in a walk, however. It is bound to be a highly colored sum mer and this ought to bring cheer to the damsel whose sunburned counte nance has hertofore added the only vivid color notes to her warm father attire. The erstwhile virgin whiteness of the lacy lingerie gowns are livened by bright-hued silken girdles and many are embroidered a la Bulgaria. Quite the newest and smartest ef fect is the combination of a very thin material and a very heavy one. For example, a voile trimmed in a contrast ing tone of ratine. Some of the new fabrics come woven in such combina tions, particularly the fine French crepes striped or bordered with ratino. All shades of blue from peacock to heavenly are the favorite tones for your summer frocks. What could be cooler or more effective when the mercury begins to rise than a soft old Hue crepon girded with a silken sash Do You & This B k3 l--jajyJgBjgyaaalaW,,eee of hunter 's green, and flat collars and cuffs of blue eyeletted Maderia em broidery finishing the V-shaped seek and elbow sleeves, N Linens come in i-erfcct shades this summer but for the separate skirt (and no hut weather outfit should be shy one) it were wiser to stick to the white or natural colored linen. These are due to live on and last you sundry summers, but the way bright hues are being worked overtime presages a .-harp drawing of the color line ere an other summer dawns. L ac e spells the last word for sum mer evening gowns. With baby waists, the laie filming an underslip of white chnrmeuse or one of pastel pink or blue, they are youthful, fairylike, but not for you if you have A woman's weight of over two hundred pounds. If you boast svelte-like proportions ami one of these lace gowns too, it will be woe to the bachelor beau "who finds you on a piazza and a moonlight nifcht. His heart is sure to be snared in f'hantilly mesh or, pierced with a Van Pyke point. Lace anyhow, any kind, and any where, is much to be desired. From the top of your lace parasol to the lace brim of your hat, your lace frock and lac e hose even down to your shoelace, all is laced except your waist. She is ultra smart indeed who even laces her finger tips. Madam La Mode knows when her nose needs attention (sartorial atten tion, of course). The monchoir of the moment, or in other words the "han ky" -that is right up to snuff, must I have its bit of color as well as the rest of the costume. Either the nar row hemstitched edge is of a pastel tint or crossbars of color brishten un the entire bit of linen. Cunning little pink rose buds and azure forget-me- note embroider sheer little handker- chiefs, a square of posey for your nosev. The very newest handkerchief shows a monogram bold of color and design, One in lavender and green with a vio- lot border is sure to win by a nose, Dainty ones with tiny hand-rolled hems cross-stitched in color with an initial to match are chic enough for the most fastidious nasal appendage and not to -e sniffed at. There never was a time when people appreciated the real merits of Chamber lain 's Cough Remedy more than now. This is shown by the increase in sales and voluntary testimonials from per- sons who have been cured by it. If yon or your children are troubled with a cough or cold give it a trial and be come acquainted with its good quali ties. For sale by all dealers.

New York, May 31. When Battling Nelson coined the terra "cheese cham pion" and hung it on Ad Wolgast, he said a mouthful and one that is en during. In fact, quite a lot of our present champions are falling all over themselves in their efforts to grab a similar title and to those not neces sarily hypercritical quite a few hunks of Herkimer are parading around the country calling themselves "Cham peen. ' ' Starting at the top, wo first find that eccentric young person, Luther McCarty, who gained a lot of notor iety by beating Jim Flynn and having the world discover that his wife was supporting herself and child by wash ing dishes in a cheap restaurant. Now, any boxer calling himself a regular champion because he beat Flynn has the gall of a Boston burglar. Mc Carty can not hit and be can not box. It took him 15 rounds to beat Flynn into a state of submission and then he did not knock him out. Little Sam Langford turned the trick ton seconds after he and Flynn were sent away, and Flynn was younger and stronger than when he met McCarty. Jess Wil lard and Gunboat Smith are trying to convince the public that they are the champions in the heavyweight class, but who would have the nerve to com pare Smnli, McCarty, Willard with Sullivan, Corbctt, Fitzsimmons or even Joe ChoyiiBkif We next have before us the middle weight class Klaus, Papke, McGoorty and Gibbons. It is almost criminal libel to mention them in the samo col umns with Jack Dempsey, Tommy Ryan, Kid McCoy, and the great Stan ley Ketchell. Papke has a chicken heart and the rest of tho gang nover did and never will belong. ' Of tho welterweights, the least said the better. As a matter of fact, tho cafiber of the present day 142-pound-ers is fo poor that one seldom hears of a bout between boys of that weight. Joe Walcott at his test could have whipped a whole roomful at one sit ting. In tho lightweight division, Willie Ritchie seems to bo the best of the present title holders. Ho is a clean, clever boxer, has a punch and is game to the core, but he is not a Cans or ucvigne or a McAuliffo. He is young and may some day becomeas great as his predecessors, but thousands of fight fans are from Missouri. Next to the heavyweight title bear er, the leader in the featherweight class is the nearest approach to a piece of cheese. Ho won a doubtful title from Abe Attel when tho latter was all in, and has not done anything since. Some fool critics have been mutty enough to refer to him as the "Great- Cnow mm SAN FRANCISCO MOTHER SO POORLY Could Hardly Care fcr Chil dren Finds Health in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vej etablq Compound.

Kilbane is merely a tricky tapper and that lets him out. Johnny Coulon, the bantam cham pion, ranks right up with Ritchie in point of merit as a champion, but he has never been within sight of the pop ularity or greatness of the peerless and undefeated Jimmy Harry, the "Pocket i.ercules. " Harry never dodged a fight in his entire career and even sought matches with his most danger ous rivals instead of picking the soft ones, as Coulon is doing. Thoro isn't any explanation for the baseball upheaval during May. It just happened. For instance, can anyone explain how tho Giants skidded clear down into the second division 1 Why Pittsburgh, a dend sure winner in March, and pretty mire to be a con tender for tho gnufulon (meaning pen nant) before October, should sink deep among the runner-ups f Then thero are tho Dodgers, former cellar or near cellar occupants, now right up in the running. In the American league, Connie Muck has done about as expected, but no ono is explaining why the Boston Red Sox spout May in the second division. Cleveland fans explain tho showing of the Naps, who gripped second place during tho month, in one word, "Hir my." Joe Hirmingham has taken the team with which Harry Havis failed and made it look like a- world beater. Clark Griffith has kept his Nationals going at the speed they showed last year, but Detroit is deep in the nit. The St. Louis Ilniwns have shown flashes of class, and with Htoval re instated as manager, should make real trouble for some of the others.

THE OPEN FORUM The Capital Journal Invites pub- lie discussion in this department Let both sides of all matters be fully brought out It Is not the purpose of this newspaper to do the thinking for its readers, t tMMMMMMMMHt He Defends Concrete. The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon. Dear Sir: Since your objections to concrete paving nave oeen given puouciiy m your newspaper, you, no doubt, as a fair-minded man, will open your news paper to a discussion of the subjoot for the benefit of your readers and print some points in favor of concreto paving. ' The following are some of the rea sons that induce some of our best en gineers in our oldest communities to lay concrete paving in preference to other kinds. First: Durability. Second: Low maintenance cost. Third: Cheapness and availability of material. Fourth: Simplicity of construction. Fifth: Low initial cost. In support of the first reason I wish to quote the following telegram from Detroit, Michigan, the city which you state is abandoning concrete as pav ing: "We have a light traveled street in Detroit built of concrete about six teen years ago that is Btill in good condition. Concrete streets in Belle fontaine, Ohio, eighteen years old. Woodward Avenue Road, Wayno coun ty, four years old, with a very heavy mixed traffic, in first-class condition Wavne county has bonded for $2,000,- 000 for building roads; $700,000 has alreadv been spent in concreto roads and the balance of $1,200,000 will prac tically all be used for the same pur pose. Recommend a richer mix than 1, 2, 4; use 1, 1, 1 2-1 "EDWARD N. TUNES." In Salem vou have several poor con crete streets, not because conerote is unsatisfactory as paving, but because the jobs were improperly done. The fault was in your weak mix and in vour poor workmanship. Tho work on South Commercial street, so ofton quoted as an example of concrete, was done by the same gentleman you prai sed so highly for having done Buch good work on Fourteenth stroet, understand, however, that this job was done during very wot woathor and that the street was opened to traffic before the concrete had properly sot the fault may not all be the contrae tor's. It's up to the contractor,' in defense of his work, to ropnlr the few bad chuck holes on which you lay so much stress. Granting, however, that South Com merciul and F.ast State streets are bin jobs, improperly mixed, lacking in ce ment (the most costly ingrodient i concrete), bad workmanship, done i lind weather, opened up to traffic too soon, and all that, I will yet venture to predict that these streets will still be giving service years and years after every other class of pavement in Sa lem is torn un and replaced. Con crete grows harder and harder as tim tinsses and becomes moro and more permanent. Six-Inch concreto has six-inch weariniz Bnrfacc, not a one or two-inch as yon stated, for tho rea son that the mix is uniform throughoii the six inches; that is, the two inches on 'top are no different than tho tw inches on the bottom. The maintenance cost of a concrete pavement is practically nothing on well-laid street, for the reason as alinv staled, that the entire thickness of th concrete is the thicknoss of tho wesr in surface, and the time when thii entire thickness is worn through is long time in tho future. Pavement made with an asphaltic binder ilisin tcgrnto long before good concreto be gins to show any perceptiblo wear. With the exception of cement, tho materials used in making concrete aro naturallv cheaply available hero. A first-class quality of sand and gravel is iwsily obtained from the river. The cement, thanks to your western fo ment manufacturers' combination, is much more costly here than In the Dast. When good materials aro so easily obtainable locally as along the Willamette river, cities situated as Sa lem is should use no other. In the matter of simplicity of con struction, I may state that thero is no simpler paving laid. Any property owner who will give the matter a very little study can easily tell when con crete is placed, whether or not he is gettir.g the proper mix and the proper workmanship. Your city engineer's specifications for concreto are O. K. patented pavements, are put down un der specifications made by the con tractor, nnd tho property owner can not know whether is Is getting good material or bad matorial, whether In paying too much or too little; in short, he does not know what he ;s getting or what he is paying for, H.i simply foots tho bill. Ho would not do guilty of making such a business tram action in private matters. Low initial cost you havo right here in rnlcm. I neeii not ilwell on tms point except to say that tho prices paid hern this year do not compare with the prices paid heretofore. I havo heard it said very often recently that the Do As Others Do, Take this time-tested world proved home remedy which suits and benefits most people.

I Ikum, 10c, 29c DlmUoM with imr box art cy rahwbU, i '-"r t n contractor who laid South Commercial street boasts of the fact that he got rich on ono job. If the quality of ork done by this gentleman recedes s his prices have receded since a car ago, the city may expect somo rotten concrete from him. In conclusion, let me state that the people of Salem are continuing to use ery excellent judgment in selecting concreto for their pavement, a pave ment that if properly constructed is durable and has practically no main tenance cost, is simple and easy to lay, and where the materials are easily available as here, the iuitial cost is low. Mr. Erickson, city engineer of C hicago some years ago decidod to test various kinds of pavement by trying them side by side. He laid sections of various classes of pavement, in cluding concrete, asphaltic and brick, n one block. After a two years' test of heavy traffic, he fixed upon con crete as the best wearing pavement.
