HINTS FOR THE AMATEUR
ON TRIMMING HATS.

To try the general effect of a
certain color or mode of trimming,
there is no plan to equal trimming
with tissue paper. This is plan fol-
lowed even By professional milliners
abroad. once the hat has been lifted
by its bandeau and lined, the mock
trimming is made of colored tissue
paper. which the home milliner
crushes and pinches roughly into the
form of bows and rosettes, garlands
OF flowers or single blossoms, and
pins these in position on the hat.
Instead Of crushing ribbon hope
lessly by trying the effect of a large
fiat bow, a chou, rosette, or a
wing" OF ribbon, the Colored tissue
paper is folded into the requisite
shape, and is shifted and regulated
on the hat until it is made to as
sumo the most becoming angle. Only
then is the real bow or wing" made
of ribbon, or the flowers tied into
punches, and arranged on the exact
spot previously occupied by the pa
per.
This plan enables the wearer to
discover the spring tone of her COM
plexion.
She will find that if her eyes are
hazel, she will probably look well
with a green or greenish-blue.
Possibly, too, her hazel eyes will be
set off to good advantage by soft
Japanese blue. Blue eyes look their
best in combination with an exact
match in the flowers or ribbon of
the hat, while the hidden tone in a
"lack-luster" brown eye can often be
brought out by a touch of orange in
the trimming or by a deep burst
orange straw.
Black eyes, on the contrary, can
stand any vivid shade close to the
face. Unless the complexion is very
brilliant, the all-black hat is not,
however, nearly so successful as it
would be if the eyes are light.
Some faces need the softness Of
outline more than others. A frill
of laCe-a cap-inside the brim Of
ten makes a face more youthful,
while it has the opposite effect on
some. To most people, narrow
edging of velvet around the brim
has a becoming effect. With black
velvet too hard a line may be drawn
in some instances. and in the case
of a straw-colored hat, a tiny fold of
velvet in the same tone may provide
all that is necessary.
The woman who makes a point of
trimming her own hats, winter and
summer, does we'll if she provides
herself with a matching ball" like
the dressmakers of the day, who
make a special study of color and
tone alliance.
For her ball she sets aside little
piece of every bit of ribbon or silk
which she uses in millinery. dress
making, fancy work.

"THE TITANS."

Richard J. Beamish, former
Scranton journalist, has paid this
tribute to the heroes of the Titanic
in the Philadelphia Press:
And most who drowned were men "
'Tis good to read
These strong fair words. They tell
of manhood tried.
or those who saw the weak ones
safe, then died.
Rake muck, sneer slurs. You can't
paint black the breed
That smiled at Death in that heroic
deed.
Poor men forgot their lot; the rich,
their pride.
Like gods, they struggled o'er the
rising tide
For others lives; their own, they
scorned to heed.
Then kindly Night shut out their
tragedy,
God send the word to flame their
message through
The grieving world: "For inasmuch
as ye
Help thus My helpless ones, ye help
Me-"
They sleep where Love and Death
both found them true,
Their names as deathless as their
shrine, the sea.

The party in the colonies which
promoted and backed the revolution
took the name Wings. Their prin-
ciples were the same as those of the
Wings of England, only they were
made applicable to this country. In
1884 the name was revived, the Fed
eral party having come to an end in
1917 From that time all American
politicians were simply Republicans.
But soon different views were held
by the various members of the party
with the results that factions were
formed under their own leaders.
Adams, Clay and their followers be-
lieved in a policy of protection and
federal internal improvements and a
broad or loose construction of the
constitution. Others, who construed
the constitution strictly, opposed
these things and found a leader in
Jackson. The former took the name
of National Republicans. After his
defeat their chief leader was Clay,
whom they nominated for president
in 1881. Their opposition to Jack
son drew to them various elements
and as opponents of executive usurp-
alton, in 1884 the coalition took the
old name of Wings. The Whig body
always formed a coalition rather
than a party, there being two divis-
ions, the northern and southern
Wings.

why Dirty Dishes Are Dangerous.


The edge of razor appears to the
eye to be a perfectly straight smooth
line. But look at 1t under a micro
scope and you will see that 1t Is
really rough and jagged like a fine
tooth saw.
In the Nme way a dish seems to
present a perfectly smooth, unbrok-
en- surface. But look at it under a
microscope and you will see a multi
tude of tiny cracks, little hollows in
the surface and minute flaws where
bit of the porcelain has been
Clipped. sThe more a dish has been
used the more surface flaws there
are.
These flaws are the home and in
cubator of the disease germs. 1t has
been demonstrated that a clipped
place only one-hundredth of an inch
square will harbor many hundreds of
typhoid bacilli. Cracks in dishes or
glasses that are so large as to be Wis
ible to the unassisted eye harbor
thousands of all kinds of germs.
The New York Board of Health re-
Gently collected cracked crockery
from various restaurants and found
insthe cracks numbers of malignant
bacilli. Any ornamentation upon
the handles of cutlery provide the
same breeding grounds, and this is
why it is best to have only perfectly
plain knives, forks and spoons.
Disease germs live through any
thing except poisons or a long i'm
mersion in boiling water, and they
are not much disturbed by freezing.
If any member of the family has
tuberculosis, or is suffering from
grippe, pneumonia, sore throat or
any of the contagious diseases, the
only safeguard is to boil the dishes
knives and forks that the person has
used.

Several people believe that divers
could descend to the wreck of the
Titanic, but the following data will
explain why this would be impos-
sible.
The greatest depth a diver has yet
gone is little over 200 feet, at 2O4
feet the water pressure is SSh
pounds per square inch. If the
wreck of the Titanic is two miles be-
low the surface, the diver would
have to sustain a pressure of 1900
pounds per square inch. AS the area
exposed of the average diver is about
72O square inches, the total pressure
he would have to sutsain would be
$4,000 pounds, or 1856 tons

HIGH DEATH RATE.

During the months of January
February and March, 2S5 persons
including 1875 employees, passeng-
ers, 1l6 trespassers and 81 others
were killed on the steam railroads OF
the state, according to data com
piled by the State Railroad Commis-
sion.
These figures show an increase OF
II killed as compared with the
same three months of 1911.
The number injured was 2577, or
an increase over the same months a
year ago of no, while of the total
number injured 2174 were employees
229 passengers, l07 trespassers and
67 others.

BOY SCOUTS
EDITED BY
ONE OF THEM
Scouts Are Brothers.


The good qualities of scoutcraft
are Lieutenant General Sir Robert
S. S. Baden-Powell in the following
statement: Then there is the fellow
ship you get into by becoming a
Scout. Scouts are brothers wher-
ever they meet all over the world.
They have their signs by which they
recognize one another and they are
helpful and hospitable to all. A
scout would give you the best of his
food and accommodation, but he
would not expect you to pay him any
more than he would expect you to
spit in his face for it. A scout will
sacrifice his life to save his pal or
even to save a stranger, for the mat
ter of that-especially If the stranger
is woman or a child. But the Joy
of the life of scout is the living
in the woods under the animals that
inhabit them. He gets to know the
ways of the beasts and their where
abouts by reading their tracks. He
can find his way by the map in a
strange country. With his keen sight
he sees everything. both far and
near, before the slow-eyed towns
man has noticed anything. He has
endurance that enables him to run
down his game or to escape from
fast-running enemies; and he can
stalk, or creep or hide where the or
dinary lout would be seen at once.
He can build his hut, or boat or
bridge, which means the use of the
axe and a knowledge of knots and OF
course he can light his fire and cook
his grub and make himself gener-
ally handy and comfortable"

District of Waianae, Oahu, is increas
ed by an addition Of 396 acres. lying
in the upper middle part Of Waianae
Valley.
The Waianae-kai Forest Reserve
was created by proclamation of Gov.
ernor G.. r. Carter on September Z.
1906. II embraced a total area of
1857 acres, of which $3.50 acres, or 81
per cent. is government land. The
reserve is made up of two classes of
land, the forested slopes of the main
ridge of the Waianae Mountains and
the more or less arid section in the
upper part of the Waianae Valley and
On the sides of the lateral ridges run
ring down toward the sea.
. Expects Great Benefit.
In his recommendation for estab.
lishment of the original reserve Su
perintendent HOsmer said, s
by the reestablishment and MAIN
tenance of forest cover, to assist In
securing more regular flow in the
springs and brooks on the land, and
to put to economic use areas which
from their topography and situation
are incapable Of being profitably used
for any other purpose than producing
trees" the reserve would prove of
great benefit to the island.
Now an additional area of land Of
the semi-arid type is included, for the
reason that it will serve the territory
better If made part of this forest re-
serve than if it is used in any other
way. 49,.
Superintendent Hosmer SAYS: The
solution of the question of the right
use Of the government land in Waia-.
nae Valley turns essentially on the
supply of water. Were greater qnan-
tity available much more of the Valley
might be devoted to intensive agricuL
ture than is now possible. As ii is
the lower lands, now mainly cultivat-
ed in sugar cane, carry the preserip-
tive right from ancient times to prac-.
tically all the water in the regular
flow of the streams. From the con.
fguration of the valley 1t does not APP

New SAFE Corr.
By far the mOst important provi-
sion Of tie bill from the standpoint
OF the whole army, is the consolida-
ton OF the Guartermaster, SubSiS-
tence and nay departments into one
body. to be known as the quartermas-
ter corps. This hits every officer in
the service, for it means that there
will be less Officers needed to run one
department com lining the offices of
three, than TO run three, and that
consequently there will be fewer de-
tails from the line, and fewer vacan-
cies therein, with consequent clog.
ging of promotion.
The permanent officers in the three
departments will get advancement lust
as though the Consolidation had not
occurred. for, until all permanent staff
officers are wiped cut by death or re-
tirement, three separate lists will be
maintained for promotion purposes.
At present three brigadier generals,
Aleshire, Sharpe and Whipple, are at
the head Of the quartermasters, sub
sistance and pay departments respec-
lively. The plan, as understood here,
is to make the senior of these three,
Sharpe, major general, and give him
the title of quartermaster general, as
head of the quartermaster corps, with
the other two brigadiers as deputy
quartermasterS general On the retire
ment of these general officers, the
head of the corps would again become
a brigadier general, and. his deputies
hold the rank of colonel.
Major Cheatham Approves.
81 believe that the consolidation is a
good thing and for the best interests
of the SERVICE" said Major B. Frank
Cheatham, chief quartermaster of this
department. "At the present time the
quartermasters and commissary de-
partments are duplicating many of,
their purchases, and there is endless
red tape to unravel. Captain Case
buys a sack of beans and he has to
come to us to get it shipped to Scho-.
field Barracks. And so it goes. Every
one in Washington was in favor Of the
change when l left a few months ago.
OF course it will take long time to
straighten the plan out, and get all
three departments merged into. one.
but certainly the experiment is worth
trying" -, -.
Major Cheatham said that the ap-
preparation bill, 50 far as he knew,
contained no direction mention of
Schofield Barracks, but that his de-
partment hoped to get slice of the
general allotment for barracks and
quarters, to finish work on the First
Infantry post.
