HOW MEN ARE SAVED
ON OCEAN AND LAKE
Llfe-Sayng Service to Make a Complete and In
terestng Exhibit at Worlds Fair.

Plans for the lake which the st. Louis
exposition authorities will place at the
service of the United States LIES avins
Service will soon be completed at the
Treasury Department. Other prepara-
lions are going forward for the life saw
ing exhibit at the exposition. and these
are near enough perfection to make It
certain the exhibit will be highly inter-
esting. The details thus far worked out
indicate an intention on the part of the
life-saving service to give a wonderfully
realistic reproduction OF those scenes
that are common enough to the storm
wracked shores of the ocean and the
great lakes. but Of which jewellers in he
interior know little.
II is the intention to make a more
complete exhibit of life-saving equip
ment than has ever before been made.
and besides to have a larger force OF
men than ever before was assigned to
such duty. The boats and all the ap-
planes will be of the most improved
pattern. and will be specially construct
ed for use at the exposition.
Two Crews to Be Detailed
Two full crews. numbering eighteen
men in all, will be detailed, with a cap
tain and a keeper of the house in charge
OF each This large number has been
selected. as 1t will make Il possible for
the crews to perform every variety Of
work they are called upon TO do in
actual service. Picked men will com
pose the crews. In fact. each one Sc
lected will be medal of honor" man
who has been decorated by the Govern
ment for some act of greatest daring.
The life station. the building in which
the men live and their boats and ap-
planes are housed. will be OF the best
type OF such structures used in the SER
vice, with this exception. that the build
ing will be altered in style and enlarged

DISAPPROVES FINDINGS
OF COURT MARTIAL
Secretary Moody Acts in Ensign
Wortman'S Case.

Secretary Moody has disapproved the
findings in the case OF Ensign Ward X.

OF the charge OF "culpable inefieiency
in the performance of duty by court
martial named 10 investigate the kill
ing Of nine enlisted men on the Massa-
chusetts last January by the explosion
OF an eight-inch gun.
The court of inquiry found Ensign
Workman guilty OF error in judgment in
giving an order to open the breech of
the gun for the purpose OF returning to
electrical firing while the gun was load
cd and the lanyard was led out and
hooked to the trigger Secretary Moody
was not satisfied with this finding and
ordered a court martial. which &C
quilted the young officer.
Although Secretary Moody does not
agree with the finding of the court
martial that there was insufficient evil
dence 20 prove that the lanyard led
out and was hooked when the order
was given, the decision is in no way
altered by the disapproval he expressed
of the decision.
In his review OF the case Secretary
Moody says:
After a careful review OF all the evil
dence. l am of the opinion that the &C
cused failed to exercise the care which
was required of him. that in giving the
order TO open the breech of the gun un-
der the circumstances. which the evil
dencc proves he was negligent: that
the death OF nine enlisted men resulted
from his negligence. and that in what
he did and failed to do in the premises
he was guilty of culpable ineficiency in
the performance of duty"

GUN FOR STRAW HATS
NOT NEEDED THIS YEAR
Summer Headgear Still in
Evidence on Street.
THE PANAMA IN WASHINGTON
Cleaners Disprove the Theory That This
Expensive Headgear Is Out
of Vogue.

II the gun" for straw hats was fired
yesterday. the men OF Washington paid
little heed. for summer head wear was
as much in evidence as at any time in
the season, September 10 is commonly
supposed to be the date on which straw
hats are put aside and those of fall
brought out This. of course. only ap-
plies to men. as the women wear sum
mer millinery until the new fall styles
are we'll accentuated." With the mon.
however. IT has been different and hereto
fore they would feel uneasy IL other lead
wear was not provided at an early date.
The continued summer weather is ac-
credited with this prolonging OF the
straw hats life.
Panama Hat Licensed.
The fact that within a few weeks the
comfortable and cool straw will be laid
aside recalls the great vogue accorded
the Panama hat-a vogue which was at
first regarded in the light of a fad that
would be of but short duration.
When Panama hats first came into use
with the reports of their great worth
everyone believed after one summer s
wearing mans fancy would turn to an
other style. and the expensive Panama
would lose its value and its charm.
Such has not proved to be the case.
however. for one Washington dealer
alone safes that he has cleaned 1000
Panama hats this season, He estimates
that at least an additional 1000 have
been cleaned by other dealers in Wash
ington. With 1900 new hats believed to
have been purchased this year. the num-
Der of Panamas worn in Washington
during the summer approximates 10000.
One in Three Wear Them.
The population of Washington is esti-
mated at 2ss.OO0, one half of which are
men and boys. About one-third are at
the hat wearing age and two-thirds o.
these white. Comparing the number OF
hat wearing males IL Washington with
the number of Panamas worn this sum
mer. it is found that about one man in
every three adopted the Panama.
The cost OF cleaning one Of these hats
is s1-25 aggTegating $4,000 for ;he
5000 cleaned this season. Added 20 the
estimated cost of the number worn
which amounts to about $4,000. one car
readily see how a real fortune has been
spent in this mode of head wear.
For many years 1t has been an &c
cepted fact that women's hats are fan
more expensive than mems. But from
proofs submitted recently regarding ths
Panama. II would seem that the pro
verbal Easter bonnet" has lost caste.

ALUM, FLINT AND
SULPHURIc ACID.

It Is reported that in many localities
houses are infested by pedd,ers trying
to sell or introduce so-called cheap"
or low-priced baking powders, either
directly or by an order upon a grocer.
In. most instances deception is used,
and it is claimed that the article is a
genuine baking powder and has all the
merits of pure article.
Housekeepers should be on their
guard against this danger to their food:
Alum powders are almost always low
priced. But they. are well known to be
detrimental to health In England and
n some sections of this country. their
sale is prohibited by law. Congress
las forbidden the sale of food contain

The highest authorities condemn their

eye, says: Bread made with a bak-
ng powder containing alum must

gastric juice, and must, therefore, act

1t is well known that these So-called
cheap" goods are made from alum or
he very cheapest materials. One of
them was recently analysed at Yale
College and found to be one-qusrter

others are filled with sulphuric acid,
and salts Of lead are also found in
them.
In baking powders be sure to get a
