Nothing enn over mako up to thm what they lost when the Huns swooped down on them, despoiling their ancestral Bflrcs, looting or destroying their homes, but it may give them a wee bit of satisfaction to see the fine ladies of Paris dressed "in peasant style. Above is shown a costume recently photographed on the Bois do Boulogne. The lace apron is worn over a plain gown of block satin. of Shaner Brothers jewelry store and Astoria, Or., Deb. fl.

Smith is plain tiff and Martin E. Smith defendant, Was decided today, she being granted a decree and also declared to be the owner of the diamond ring valued at $500 which cut quite a figure in the trial of the case. Judge Bingham in the findings of fact, on which he ba,sed the decree among other things found: that the parties were married in San Francisco as alleged in the complaint. That de fendant Martin E. Smith before mar riage represented to plaintiff that he was part owner of a jewelry store in Silverton conducted in the name of James G- Smith, but that such repre sentations were false and that Martin E. Smith was only an employe in said store and had no interest therein. That James G. Smith never hold- out to plaintiff, or to anyone that Martin E. Smith had n interest in sa'id jewelry store and that he did not encourage Martin E. Smith in his treatment of plaintiff. That plaintiff ani defendant Martin E. Smith entered into an 'agreement set tling all property rights as between them; and plaintiff absolved said Mar tin E- Smith from all obligations for support and care. That a certain diamond ring given by defendant Martin E. Smith to plain tiff was his property at the time of the gift, and that he obtained possession of it from plaintiff by false representa tions and that it. should "be returned-to her. The court also holds that it is not true that plaintiff accused said Martin E. Smith without cause o.f im proper relations with Beryl Harmon. A decree of divorce was granted and it was ordered the diamond ring be re turned -to plaintiff or if this was not done that she have judgment for $500 the value of the same.

Almost the only ex ception to the increase in the cost of such commodities and service is the cost of electric lighting, which has been going down steadily, and has resulted in what is NO W known as "The Low Cost of Lighting." It has always been the practice of this Company to voluntarily reduce its rates for service from time to time as improvements and reduction in cost of production were effected, for the reasons mentioned in Talk No. 8 published last week, and since June, 1916, we have voluntarily made five reductions in our various tariffs. - Many of these reductions have been made without any announcement be ing made through the press, or otherwise. We have simply figured the bills at the new reduced rate. . The following comparison of electricity in a home that uses 27 KWH per month would demonstrate the effect of the various reductions made in the rate from time to time: Mrs. Waiter A. Denton gave two re citals tho past week, the younger pu pils giving the program last Saturday afternoon, which was most interesting and entertaining. These young musiiians formed them selves into a club and will be known under tho name of "The Young Musi cians club." This club will meet once a month for music study, devoting a part of tho meeting to a musical pro gramme. The recital last Wednesday afternoon was a moritorons one. Miss Mildred Brank was most pleas ing in two Friml numbers, and Gou nod serenade, Alice interpretation. Ethelwynne Kelley was artistic in her .piano number, and as a pupil of Mrs. Fish's school of expression was clever and winning in her recitation. Every number of the program was very creditably rendered. - Those, taking part wore Mildred Brunk, Charlotta Horning, Helen ' Kh mer, Eugenia'Savage, Ethelwynne Kel ley, Earl Schafor, Donald Allison, "El oert Lachole. urn !!iifffff ttfrrtiM - ; : rirrr: 0 w. a t- kit b- ir m- ' - w 11 JiUV&LL V J limey HT1 iry -fr nib ire n n Et n Ii li ft U li fl ri ' The Salem Floral society will hold a meeting at the Commercial club rooms on Monday night, and an inter esting demonstration on bulb planting and how to care for them throughout the winter will bo given by Carl Reuf.

Then too the best incandescent lamps in 1904 used 3 watts of electricity for every candle-power of light they gave, whereas now the average Mazda lamp only uses about 1 and 1-6 watt for every candle power, which is only one-third of 0V2 watts. ' Therefore since the electricity costs only one-third as much now as it did in 1904 in the average residence, and the lamps only use one-third as much electricity per candle-power, each candle-power of light costs only 1-3x1-3 or ONE-NINTH as much now as in 1904. The change has been quite gradual and therefore many people do notrealize this great decrease in the cost of electric lighting. - If all other lines of industry has made as great advancement in" reducing the cost of their products as the electric light and power industry, there would be no "High Cost of Living" at this time.

Tooze, who was vis iting his friends in Dallas the last of the week, expects to receive orders most any day now to proceed with his men to Rome eastern cantonment, in prepara tion for sniling for Europe. In fact, Captain Tooze barely missed being as signed to a contingent which went eaBt a few days ago, presumably bound for France. This would have been a dis appointment to the captain, because it would have separated him from the men whom he has trained and been associat ed with all through, and in whose wel fare ho naturally feels a deep interest. TTe snys they can 't send him to France too soon to suit him, but he wants to go with his xiwn men when he goes, if possible. Dallas Observer.
