he said came to their work in the morning wearing gloves
and with a flower in the button hole of their coats. The
Fleet Corporation and the draft authorities will investi
gate and give the yards a cleaning up, which it is claimed
will send a thousand or two slackers into the army where
they belong. In this connection Piez told the commission
that the shipyards of the country aad turned out
000 tons of shipping to date this year, and would increase
this to $2,200,000 by the end of September. He also stat
ed that keels had been laid for 4,103,000 tons. While noth
ing was said about other shipyards, reports heretofore
show that those of the Pacific coast have distanced all
others in their output. Thus in one more branch does
Oregon stand in the lead.

said she" had seen Some of the letters and that they were
"mushy." Perhaps, but then that is what love letters ot
the average kind are supposed to be. If they were real
sensible they would be business rather than love letters.
A resolution to compel mothers to talk sensibly to then
babies instead of using the baby talk so natural to the
mother's tongue would have been just as appropriate.
It was thought the limit had been reached in the
way of conservation, when flour was eliminated from our
bread, when meatless days were ordered, when Hoover put
his spoon in our coffee and teacups and took out halt or
more of our sugar, when other things, many of them ot
this kind, were done, but the bottom was not reached
until yesterday when the war industries board oraeieu
reducing of the width of diaper cloth and conseuently
making the , "squares", that much smaller. However Am
erican babies are patriotic and will not kick against the
reduction. t
Lenine and Trotsky are continuing their reign of ter
ror in Petrograd, and it is said an avrage of 500 persons
are shot down in the streets or executed daily. The al:

leaders that they will be held personally responsible for
these political murders after the war, and that no place
in the civilized world will be found in which they will be
afe from an outraged civilization. They should be hunt
ed down after the war the same as &o many mad dogs.

she had made herself attractive simply
for Brian.
"I am so glad you think I look nice.
The Curtises aiv jlnir friends and I
should hnto to have them call mo a

"No one could ever say that about
you." Then, a thought striking hiin
for the first time. h asked: "How
much did that dress cost?"
"Aunt .Louisa paid two hundred dol
lars for ii. Of course that did not in
clude th, slippvrs and stockings."
Open-mouthed, Brian stared at her.
Tn nil the months they had been mar
ried the cost of her clothes never had
been mentinnvd. Hc had not the slight
est idea of the cost of such clothes as
Ruth wore. He had asked tho question
now only from impulse.
'It's lovely, isn't it?" Ruth wont
on, "Aunt Louisa bought it at the
same shop she. has bought her own
clothes for years. The ono where most
of my trousseau dresses wero made."
"And did the rest cost as much!"
"Whv ves. most of them. Rome
more. Whv?" Ruth never tnlk.-! nfi
clothes.
"How in the world are you going
to Ot any mom when they wear out?
Any more of that, kind, I mean." '
Ruth laughed heartily at his fright

"Oh, I guess we'll manage, to get
them someway."
"Not that kind, Ruth," ho said so
body, "I newr dreamed women's
clothes cost so much." Then, his face
lighting, "You must find out whoVa
Mollic gets her. clothes. She always
looks pretty and she has scarcely any
money. Will you need any soon?''

nothing about new clothes to him, and
