navy by increasing the knowledge
and usefulness of its personnel.
1t ia not easy to secure the full
complement of young men Of charac-

has been necessary to resort to re-

METHOD FOR MAKING
HERRINBB0NE STITCH

. A fancy hrrringbone stitch may he
made In the following manner Make
a herringbone stitch in the ordinary
way by taking a back stitch along
the border line. then slant the thread
across and take a hack stitch on the
lower line, slanting again to the top
and taking a back stitch. Continue
in this way. working from left Ia
right until the desired length Ia fin
ished. This method of working her
ri1gbone is familiar to anyone &C.
customed to use needle. tl
After the ordinary herringbone
stitch is made, bring another thread
up to the center OF the first slanting
stitch, put 1t underneath the second
slanting line, without passing
through the fabric. working from
right to left. Continue putting the
thread underneath each slanting
thread until the end of the line.
The result will be n waved line
curved about the foundation herring
bone. The thread should not be
drawn very tightly and may be Of q
contrasting color.

he and his family driven off homeless.
Mrs. Shannon has been unable to re-
ceive any further word from him. At
tempts to send him money with which
he could cross the border have been
futile, as the telegraph company de-
clare they are unable to establish

The state department Immediately
set to work to communicate by wire,
wireless and special messenger with
the American consulate at Durango
and instructed him to search for Kies
and extend him succor IL 1t Is found
he is in need. Several days are ex-
pected to elapse before anything def
mite is heard.
