The. Summer of this year is to be emphaticay a summer of white. Great as has been the popularity of white for the past two years it is to be in greater favor this year. Such is the prediction of the fixers of fashion. And why not? Is there anything more suitable to summer wear than white? Is there anything cooler or prettier or more adaptable? And there is greater variety of white cottons to- day than In the fine soft plain weaves and in the little fancy figures, there is almost equal album dant variety. The mills have woven prettier ones than ever, and they spread out in the store at very attractive small prices.

Togo's Flagship Lost.

The Japanese battleship Mikasa,
Admiral Togo's flagship, was sunk
at Sasebo, Japan, early Monday
morning, by an explosion of one
of her magazines, caused by a fire
of mysterious origin, and 500 off
GERS aud men persisted, some OF
them having come from other ves-
sells to fight the fire.
Admiral Togo was not on board.
There was talk, after the peace
treaty was arranged, that fanatical
Jap soldiers and sailors would COM
nit harikari-the Japanese method
of suicide. 1t may be that the dis
aster to the Mikasa was ''naval

worst that has happened in any

Eastern Shoreman's Ideas On Boat
building Make Cup Winning
Yachts.

The Western craft that a few
weeks ago lifted the Seawanhaka
cup from the Canadians at Mon
treal owed its winning qualities to
the patience and ingenuity of a
native Eastern Shoreman of Mary
land. This Western boat was
practically the same as the dead
rise boats built and used extern
sively on the Tired Avon and
Choptank rivers in Maryland, and
the dead rise boat is the invention
of Capt. William Valiant of Ok
ford, the scion of a great family of
watermen and boatmen which has
fourished for years on the Eastern
Shore. The Western boat that won
| in Canada was of the scow type,
which has come to such perfection
on the lakes of Minnesota and Wis
consin. 1t is the theory of Captain
Valiant modernized. He contend
ed that for speed a boat ought to
slide over the water and not glide
through it. He designed and built,
built and designed, every step of
the way progressing toward the
perfection that has now been reach
ed in the modern dead rise skiff of
the Chesapeake. His first creation
was scow with square front.
The scow that the genius of Val
liant designed to illustrate his the
DRY has now taken on graceful lines,
with a shapely bow, but the plan
and theory Of its construction are
the same. In fact. the first of the
clever racers built for Western
waters was the work of ship car
penter who had worked for Captain
Valiant at Oxford. All honor to
the Valliants, who have made it
possible for Maryland to claim the
credit for winning boats of the fin
est modern class in the cup races
around the ld.-Baltimore
