king.
1t is now held that the reason why
rain usually followed the great bat.
ties of history is because whenever
possible the commanders moved their
armies and began battles when the
weather was fair. Rain falls on an
average of one day in three, so 1t is
no amazing matter that the clouds
should spill their contents about the
time one of those famous slaughters
would be over with.
OF course, the great men Of science
know that it is useless for man, with
his puny implements, to undertake to
bring about those stupendous changes
in nature necessary to produce the
phenomenon Of rain. It would be
necessary to lower the temperature Of
vast area of the heavens, or saturate
such region with moisture to obtain
results, and our means Of accomplish
ment are too limited
Though our government has lost
faith in rain-making, however, the
Italians seem to be quite confident
that, in one way, at least. bombarding
the clouds is productive Of good re-
suits. In all the vineyards Of that
sunny land there may be seen curious
funnel.shaped guns pointing to the
sky. Hail storms form one Of the
chief dangers to the grape crop In that
country, and the Italians believe that
the firing of these guns prevents such
destructive visitations by dissipating
the clouds which give them birth.

pupils after they leave school, and to
save them from falling into lines OF
employment in which the money ex-
pended for their education by the
state will not be justified.

ENTHUSIASTICALLY when fire

pie appealed to the war department to
lombard the skies and bring a much

their request was refused. Uncle Sam,

money experimenting along this line,

FASHION AND FADS
BY Mrs. Maud E. cillsy.

Twists and knots of silk matching
the parasol covering, are the sole
decoration of the newest sunshades.
These loops are arranged close to the
outer edge.
Plaids, striped, bordered and hand
painted silk parasols, are displayed
i'm tempting numbers. Linen is al
ways favored, while rajah has step
ped into front rank
Some of the pretty foulard petit
coats are finished with lace-trimmed
rufies. A muslin ruftie under the
outer rufle helps to lengthen the
life Of the skirt.
To carry with frocks and suits
which are trimmed with the Paisley
silk, there are parasols OF all-over
Paisley silk with carved wood handles
and silk handbags to match.
The short coats range in length
from hip to within two inches OF the
knees. So far the really short coat
and the Elton jacket have not gained
any secure position.
One of the newest gowns has the
skirt cut with a double box plait in
back. a narrow gore in front, and
finished with a shaped hounce, the
sides Of the skirt being circular.
To fiji in the coat with deep
shawl collar, there arc vests of white
linen or black, and white checked
linen. piped in different colors and
buttoning with small gilt buttons
Tailored costumes with the white
linen with the fine hair stripes of
black or color are remarkably smart
if made up with pipngs Of a plain
linen, matching the color of the hair
line.
Plisse frllls for the neck are now
made of Paisley printed silk and
covered with white tulle. the two ma
terials fine pleated together and edg-
ed with stiff band Of the Paisley
silk.
II apparently makes little difference
whether the coats of the tailored linen
suits have one, two or three but
tons. The fastenings, whatever num-
ber. are placed down well toward the
Waistline.
To carry with light silk or lingerie
frocks. there are exquisite little hand
bags of silk in delicate pastel colors
hand-embroidered and mounted in
Oriental silver. A tiny coin purse
is fitted inside.
The yelling of everything amounts
to a mania Varied and startling ef-
fects are thus obtained. Sometimes
as many as three layers Of chiffon OF
gauze are interposed. one above the
other. with iridescent effects
The rosette on the plain sailor hat
gives all the richness necessary. Fold
ed like a rose in a round shape, a
bias piece Of Persian silk has been sc
manipulated that its final effect would
suggest both expense and art.
MaIine is used to an ever-increasine
extent as the season advances, not
only for yelling flowers and feathers
on hats, but for bows and loops OF
hats, for neck bows, and for yelling
entire costumes it has a distinc
