he was pitched over the stern into the

Italy has a good fleet of seventeen to which
she is making constant additions and Is the first
nation to make use Of aerial bombs and flying
artilleryman Lieutenant Gotti established his
right to a niche in the hall of fame by his daring
flight over the enemy at Tripoli when he dropped
four of these aerial grenades among the enemy

Turkey behoding the devastation Italy has
wrought from the Clouds has made rapid strides

Austria is also waking up to the advantages
Of these adjuncts to military tactics, and has

When General Allen was asked what would
be the work of the flying machines in the event
of war he said;
BY skillful maneuvers properly equipped and
skillfuIly handled military aeroplanes may wipe
out or put in retreat whole army before sun
rise, report to their base of supplies and disor
ganize hostile fleet before breakfast.
Generally speaking, they would perhaps be
most effective as scouts, working from different
points upon the Atlantic coast the Gulf coast
and the Pacific as coast patrols for observation

amount of damage.

coast patrol had we will say, five ships, each
of which can carry 400 pounds In addition to
the weight Of the aviator and his supply OF fuel
a ton of explosives could be distributed by these
patrols while they were going forty miles an
hour. and they could return and prepare for an
other trip If necessary.
This amount of explosive could be dropped
in weights of from 20 to 200 pounds without In

safe heights of from 1000 to 1000 feet 1t should
not require many such hints to convince the

Each squadron will be in command of a ma

Dainty Waists.

White satin waists are exquisitely
dainty, but 1t is to be feared that
the daintiness Of such waist will
be very evanescent. So only the WON
an who can afford the somewhat high
cost of constant dry cleaning may in
dulge in white satin fall shirts-un-
less she cares to do them up" her
self. There is a special washable
satin that comes for these white
waists, but the best of tub satins
must be handled with extreme care
if it is to survive even one laundering
and retain its pristine luster and rich
ness Of texture. Wash the washable
satin in soft water and suds Of pure
white soap. Wiring 1t not and rub
1t not, but rinse in several clear, cool
waters, and iron when almost dry,
with thin muslin between the satin
and the iron. So only will you save
the luster and the texture of the white
satin shirt.

Back Of Mother,s Gown.

Not for years past have fashions in
gown backs been better adapted to the
development of matronly figure. The
habit and the panel back have gone
out Of favor and in their place are the
inverted plat which obviously cannot
draw below the hips, the position back
which may be extended to the hem Of
the skirt, if desired, and the position
sash-end with wide length of silk or
satin or fine cloth may be made to
disguise the shape of the figure as
completely as does an undraped tunic.
II mother fancies a separate skirt and
blouse she may have that sort of cos
tune and feel certain that 1t becomes
her, since the narrow skirts Of taffeta
and soft fabrics often have smoothly
fitted front and side forms, but backs
cut straight and gathered into waist

Save the plna.

A good idea after buying a paper
Of new pins is to cut one line off at
time and not to dive into the whole
paper at once. A sewing basket
should have its pincushion well sup
piled with pins, and when sewing a
box should be near at hand into which
all the pins can be tossed in hurry,
says the Philadelphia Times In this
way the floor will be spared its usual
pin collection when sewing days
come around.
A pin tray or small pincushion
should be on every girls or woman's
bureau, and the pins should be put
into these at night, when, perhaps,
pin or two will have to be taken
out of the stock collar or belt The
pins used in pinning on veil should
always be put back in the yelling
after it has been carefully folded up
and before placing in the hatboy
or bureau drawer.

Women cannot grumble this season
at the unsuitability Of models, for
styles are so varied that there are
shapes enough to go round and to set

vidual type Of face.
Some women have a way Of select
ing their hats rather at random, with
out sufficiently studying effect. Now,
it takes time to choose properly, and
it needs a sympathetic friend or sales
woman. One has respect for the wom-
an who is courageous enough to ex-
press an opinion and is not only an
automaton paid to sell for some des-
potic manager. A successful milliEer
is an artist; her assistants should be

Plans for the paving of State line
street are at standstill. again, and
unless the property owners on the
street nd those most interested in the
improvement take up the matter in
earnest, 1t is doubtful whether the
street will be paved this year
At the last joint conference between
the West Hammond board of local am

public dorks, it was decided that a
committee, consisting of William H.
Gostlin and Charles Mayer, interview
the property owners along the street
in order to get their sentiment with
reference to the length and the width
of the pavement and the material that
should go into it and to get their names
on a petition to the board of public
works. The differences of opinoin lay
primarily in Hammond. and until these
are settled the board does not feel war
ranted to proceed. The West Hammond
officials assured the Hammond board,
that the property owners on the Illinois
side can be relied on to adopt a pave
ment in conformity with that on the
Hammond side.

Philadelphia to call on Vice President

works to tell him what nice man he
was to decide on Indiana Harbor as a
location for the big plant, and incl

the prospects of building this summer.
What they learned was most en-

Mr.. VauClain informed the Indiana
Harbor men that his engineers had
started on Saturday for Indiana Har
Dor and that the contract for grading
and the construction of fence to in
close the big tract purchased by his
company. would be let Immediately.
The plans for the first building of the
group which is to constitute the plant
will be completed in a few days and
the contract for its construction will
be let soon. The building will be of
brick. concrete and steel and its di-
mensions will be 1000 feet by 500 feet.
Work on this will s.be rushed forward
as rapidly as possible until 1t is COM
pleted.
