Margaret Mason Writes of
Gotham Fads and Fashions
By Margaret Mason.
Small boys all know that tanning
Makes persona quite some smart;
And that's a fact that summer girls
Will have to take to heart,
Because all . dyes grow scarcer
Since first, tho war began.
And for those dying to be smart
There's nothing left but tan. '.
New York, Feb. 5. Positively the
only way you can go in for color ef
fects this coming Spring and Summer
is to turn green with envy, have a yel
low streak, a fit of blues or red your
self up to be the pink of neatness.
They do say that all is fair in love and
war but it's been mighty hard for
some of U9 to be fuir urith the recent
embargo on peroxide. Fortunately that
has just been lifted nnd hearts and
heads are once moro light.
The outlook for other dyestuffs is
very dark. The weather man has often
predicted a white winter for us but
now the Fashion man promises us a
white summer whito with a large
dash of tan by way of variety.
By way of getting the greatest
amount of variety out of tan you can
call it biege, ecru, string biscuit, sand
and putty as it's intensity of tanncss
wanes or waxes.
Fortunately we already have such
charming tan summer materials in
natural pongee shantung and rajah
silks, to say nothing of natural linens,
that to be thus limited for our Spring

burden for a breach upon the United
States by replying that sho had made
all possible concessions.
Germany Is Hopeful. I
Berlin, Feb. o. Germany forsees no
immediate crisis in relations with tho
Tinted Stales over the Lusitania tor-!
pedoing. j
Despite pessimistic reports from Eng-j
lifh sources regarding the American at-:
titude, officials here scoffed today at
tho possibility that fiurmany's refusal'
fo disavow the incident would bring'
the affair to an immediate and grave
head. Indeed, they believed that fur-i
ther informal exchanges are certain to!
occur before Germany frames a formal'
answer to tho last American note in
tho case. Inasmuch as the latest in
struction sent to Ambassador Von I
llerustort'f call for an answer from the
American stato department, it is re-!
yarded probable that the two nations
will air their views anew, whether the;
1 nited States approves or disapproves
of the German proposals.'
In its realization that the situation
has grown moro serious, and in its dis
' riission of a possible break the pub
lic recalls utterances of the president
on his preparedness tour, widely print-j
ed here, which are interpreted as a
warning to Grninnv. that America in-
tends to (leal firmly in tho liiisitnnin,
situation. On the other hand, the pub-
lie does not believe that the United'
States will force a break in diplomatic
relations because of Germany's refusal!
to use a specific, expression of disa-1
vowal. j
If a deadlock is reached, it is be-j
lieved certain that a break could be
averted by referring the disavowal de-i
maud to arbitration. In fact, only the
most pessimistic believe America would i
refuse such a proposal. I

and Summer outfits threatens no real
tribulation.
Cotton voiles of rich biege color
striped in the same toned cotton velvet
are most effective and the biege black
striped are stunning additions to the
new tan toned fabrics. Faille is love
ly in these neutral shadings too and
Spring suits of ecru accrue much credit
to the wearer as do the little turbans
of biscuit colored straw and taffeta
and the high shoes with putty colored
tops.
If you remember we were caught in
a sand storm of sand colored suits,
hats and accessories last Spring, but
this year's bisque hued crop promises
less violence and more quiet effective
ness. As befitting a neutral notion that
other most neutral of tints, pearl grey,
will also have its place in the mono
tones of our most modern frocks. Of
a necessity then the modern maid, de
liberately going against the admoni
tion of Mr. Omar to fling her winter
garment of repentance aside for the
fires of Spring. Kxehange instead her
flame hued garb of Winter for the
ashes of a new sartorial season.
And so a grey or tan mark will be
added to the aggregate mass of black
marks against the war by the woman
of Fashion. But between you and me,
after viewing tho Ballet Kusse backed
by Bakst with its chaotic and unre
strained riot of colors I can't believe
that the poor old war is tho only
thing responsible for tho alarming
shortage of dyes.

Ordinance Will Be Introduced
at Meeting of Council
Monday Night
An ordinance to prohibit the cutting
of pavement laid upon any street or
alley of the city of Salem, for tho
purpose of laying gas or water mains,
or any class of under ground conduits,
will be introduced at the next meeting
of the city cc incil, Moudav, February
"th.
The ordinance to be introduced also
provides that hereafter all pipes orj
conduits or extensions shall bo laid i
only in the parking lines of any paved
street.
The ordinance rends that it shall be I
unlawful, "to in any manner cut,
break up, deface or molest any pave
ment which may have been heretofore,
or may hereafter be laid in the city
of Salem, for the purpose of laying
new mains or extensions of the sys
tems now installed."
. Provision is also made in the ordi
nance to be introduced that the City
Recorder be instructed to notify the
Salem Water, Light & Power Com
pany and the Portland liailway, Light
& Power Company and any and all
other persons, firms or corporations
owning franchises for the laying of
mains, the intention of the council to
pass and adopt the ordinance at the
meeting to be he'd February 21.
In discussing the proposed ordinance
with the ordinance committee, W. M
Hamilton, division manager, notes the
fact that gas mains have been in
stalled on nearly all the paved streets
of the city, but in many instances,
service pipes have not been run from
tho mains to the houses. All service
companies are required to supply serv
ice to persons desiring the same, who
aro willing to pay tho established
rates.
In many parts of the city, due to
the unexpected increase in the amount
of gas required, it is necessary to re
place gas mains and service pipes
and the ordinance if passed, would
prevent the company from making
these necessary improvements.
Referring to the amount of money
now being spent in the city in im
provements, Mr. Hamilton notcti the
fact that during the past year, his
! company has installed 20,438 teet, or
practically f ivo miles of gas mains
land service, at a cost of $d,751.
In addition to spending $!l,ol tor
new' mains and extensions, the com
pany spent ik-L'tyM!) in the city for
operating expences, making a total of'
$:W,(!70 paid out in Salem in 1i)IV
Tho gross receipts from gas customers
were $33,228, or $5,112 less than the
amount paid out. :
While Mr. Hamilton feels that. nil-1
necessary cutting of pavements should .
be eliminated, ho notes that it is neces
sary in order to make improvements
and extensions. It also becomes necos-.
sary at times to repair pipes on ac
count of leakage, as the "continual loss
of gas by leakage to the company
tend to hold up the operating expenses.;
Referring to the necessity of re
ouirltitf on mains on account of leak-
'age, Mr. Hamilton noted the case of a
I leak at Twelfth and Le.e streets, which
was located nnd repaired .lust before'
the supply of gas was exhausted in
that locality. -
As to whether a cut in the pavc-i
nient can be repaired, Mr. Hamilton re
ferred to the fact that a few years
ago the company was obliged to make
a number of cuts in the down town

! tho ordinance to be introduced
Monday night, if passed would pre-j
j vent either the Portland Railway,
i Light & Power Company, or the Salem j
I Water, Light & Power Company from
' laying pipes or mains in any street ul-1
i ready paved, or of replacing mains:
I with' larger pipes, or of connecting!
with houses along paved streets not!
! already served.
The ordinance also provides a pen-'
l.alty for any person, firm or corpora-1
ftiim found guilty of cutting, defacing
or destroying any pavement of not

i was considered the blow that caused
her de.ith nnd the other scratches on
her scalp were, superficial and would
only have stunned the woman at most.
;Tiie police are of the opinion that the
robber came upon her in the kitchen
and struck her from behind, felling her
;to the floor and then struck her three:
or four times on the head to make sure
that she was not only stunned tempor-j
arily. Her right ear w.is split and the
cnrtilege broken either from a blow or
from falling to the floor. Also her:
right eye was blackened and her eye
brow bruised, presumably from the
fall.

then dropped it into the stove where;

The robber secured about $30 in casa
which Mrs. Hinkle knt in a salt sack
and hidden in a cupboard in the kitch-'
en. The robber ransacked both floors
of the dwelling, turning out bureau
drawers and tumbling through the beds
but he missed $30 in cash that was hid
den in the matress in .Mrs. lliukle's
room.
After the murderer had ransacked
the house ho locked the doors and made
his es. aoo either through a rear win

E. L. STIFF & SON
Salem e se" ne cneaPest because our Albany
expenses are the lowest
east of Silverton in 1850. Tho Thomas
family came to this Btate in 1S-17 and
was a well known pioneer family. Mrs.
Hinkle was the last survivor of triplets,
as her two sisters, Mrs. K. C. Churchill
and Mrs. A. M. Thomas, have been
dead for some time. There were 16
children in tho Thomas family and
Mrs. Hinkle is survived by seven broth
ers, R. I). Thomas, who lives on the
river road; Aranthas Thomas, of Scotts
Mills; Henry Thomas, of Scotts Mills;
'. P. Thomas, of Marquim; George
Thomas, who resides on the old dona
tion clnim; I. D. Thomas, of Hilverton,
and L. L. Thomas, of Hubbard. In her
immediate family are Mrs. O. L. Darl
ing, of this city, and Harvey A. Hinkle,
with the Wolf Hop company, of Port
land. Theories of Officers.
Tho police are of the opinion that
the crime was committed by someone
who was familiar with the premises or
the murder had been carefully planned.
It happened certain rent money was
reeived A few days ago and Mrs. Hinkle
had always been accustomed to keep
money in the house. The police, how
ever, scout the theory that the crime
was committed by Henry Nelson, an in
sane patient who escaped from the asy
lum about 4 o'clock yesterday. The
asylum physicians say th.it Nelson was
a harmless patient nnd had never
caused nay trouble at the institution
where he has been since December 5 of
last year. Nelson was committed from
Salem but e.une to this city to be
treated at the asylum for a fancied dis
ease. He was told by the asylum doc
tors that they could not take him into
the hospital unless he was regularly
committed and then Nelson hunted up
Judge Hnshey and was voluntarily com
mitted to the asylum. Nelson is still
at large today but efforts are being
made to find him. Nelson is 5 feet, 3
inch tall, weighs 130 pounds and is
light complifxioned.
The of finils do not believe that Geo.
Clark, the convict who recently escaped
would take a chance on coming back to
this city since he has been at large for
several weeks and it is presumed that
he- is out of the country.
