Three Ways to Transfer.

Here are suggestions for transferring
the pattern before you to any material
before working.
Perhaps the easiest way is the win
dow-pane" method. This is successful
when the material is thin, like linen.
batister &c. Pin the sheet of paper and
the material together and hold them IN
against the glass of a window. With a
sharp pencil draw on the material the
design, which can be easily seen through
the goods. If one-half of the design only
be given, HHpin the paper and turn the
other side to the fabric. The strong
light behind will make 1t plain.
If you have carbon paper you should
place the sheet between your fabric and
the newspaper. This latter is on top.
With sharp pencil go over the outline
OF the design. The impression will be
left in fine lines and will last until work.
ed. This method is successful on heavy
material
The last way is also easy. On wax
paper or ordinary tissue paper trace the
pattern before you. When the design
is completed. turn over the paper and
outline the pattern with a heavy lead
pencil Then place the design down on
the fabric and redraw the outline, press
ing hard with the pencil. The pattern
win be transferred without dfficulty.
Surely the way Is easy.

SUCCEEDS COUSIN
IN HIGH POSITION
Capt. William L. Rodgers
Heads Naval War College.

Capt. William /. Rodgers. who is in
command of the battle ship Georgia, will
succeed Rear Admiral Raymond p. Rod
College, at Newport, r. L, this month
The two are cousins.
The selection of Capt. Rodgers as head
Of the board of strategy for the United
States navy has found general approval.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Beck
man Winthrop said about Capt Rodgers
that he is among the best fitted men In
the country for the position.
Capt. Rodgers talents" said Secre-
tary Winthrop, peculiarly fit him for the
new duties he will undertake In recent
years he has shown himself a master
of the problems of war. l doubt If a
better man could be found to fill the
position.
The present and the newly appointed
occupant of the high office are members
Of family whose name has been inter
woven with the naval history of the
United States for generations. Several
other relatives are officers Of the navy.
Admiral Rodgers succeeded Rear Ad-
miral ]. T. Merrell as president of the
Naval War College in 1909 He was born
in this city. His father was a rear ad-
miraL Prior to the Spanish-American
"' <nuilliId dI tNouSeFS served as naval
attache to the American embassies in
Russia and France, and at the outbreak
or the war in Cuba was appointed execu-
tive officer of the Iowa. He saw active
service at Santiago. afterward in the
Philippines, and during the Boxer upris-
ing. From 1906 to 1903 he served as chief
officer in the Navy Depart
ment.
The Naval War College at Newport is
really an institution where the most
prominent officers of the navy gather in
conference. 1t is intended as a training
Tor the younger officers who, by attend
ing, may get an insight into the plans
Of offense and defense prepared by men
whose lives have been devoted to the
study OF naval strategy.
The appointment of Capt Rodgers to
his cousin carries with it no ad-
vance in rank
