Salem residents living in the vicin
ity of Court and Cottage streets were
aroused last night about 12:15 by a
number of revolver shots which rang
out in the still night air with sufficient
detonation to awaken even Tho heavy
sleepers. The matter was not called tn
the attention of the police until todaV
and so far they have not found nnyono
who complained of being shot and i
neither have they found anyone who j
was chasing burglars last night.,One
woman is said to have reported that
she looked out of her window as 'soon
as she heard the shots and saw two
men run out of the shadows back of the
Court apartments and jump into an auto
which was quickly driven away but no
means of identification has been found
by the police.
The average woman cares but little
for war news ind probably very few
could tell whether Salonika is in
France, Oerniany or Greece. Hut the
effects of the war will soon be felt at
every fireside, as now the great manu
facturing interests in the east nre send
ing out notices that the color of hosierv
is not guaranteed, regardless of price, j
And following these notices to tho local j
merchants, came the advice a low daysi
ago that no colors whatever, even tiie
finest silks, are guaranteed. Pye stuffs
were made in Germany, and even school'
children know that ships from Germany:
are not coming this way. Therefore,
milady in shopping need not impure "s.
to whether the colors of her hosiery or
silk dress are guaranteed. They .ire,
not. not only not in Salem, but Port-;
land as well and in fact, there is not'
any such thing as guaranteed colors.'
Dye stuffs that were worth $1.60 a
pound before the war, are now worth
'i0 a pound, and verv little in the coun
