SHIPS WHICH WILL NOT SINK

of giving the vessel greater buoyancy as it sinks
in the water There is really nothing new IN
this ideea and it has been applied successfully in
building lfeboats and other small vessels. 1t
adds to the width of the vessel above the water
line and the inventor is wrong in claiming that it
would not interfere with its cargo-carrying capa-
city.
Modern steamships are safe enough when at
sea- far the storms and lashing of the waves
are concerned The dangers that threaten them
collisions with other vessels with derelicts or
with icebergs, and, of course, running ashore or
on a rock in a dense fog Take two vessels OF
equal size crossing each others paths, let one
strike the other amidships and the vessel struck
would be cut in two if the other going at full
speed The tremendous force Of the blow Is al
most beyond calculation. In the case of a yes
sci the size of the new lmperator, it would prob
ably be equal to a striking force OF SOOOOO0 foot
tons No cellular belt or any other conceivable
construction would ship under such condi-
tons. The thing to do is to avoid ali such risks
far possible. The Titanlc was lost because
its captain had too much confidence in its unslnk-

Once more we hear talk of an unsinkable ship
remarks the New York Commercial. An English
inventor claims to have solved the problem, but
his experiments have been confined to a small
model only fou. feet in length and nine inches
wide, so the problem o. applying his system to a
vessel 500 or loco feet in length is ly no means
solved
Few people outside of practical shlpbuildeTs anu
navigators understand the difference between a

ing in the middle but the strongest manofWaT
or ocean liner that floats today would break in
two if subjected to a similar strain. The larger
a vessel the weaker it becomes in this respect,
ana fer this reason many apparently good ideas

utterly when applied to large vessels
It is doubtful if any real progress in building
ships has been made since the days of the Great
Eastern as far as the use OF water-tight compart-
ments and bukheads is concerned. The designer
of the Great Eastern divided that vessel into eel
lular compartments, and no Improvement on this
plaa has as yet been made, although it is not used
extensively because it requires too many matches
fer the loading and unloading OF cargo.

made consists Of surrounding the vessel with

Upturned Hens.

The innovation in upturned hens on
the outside of the skirt has given the
coiorists another chance to put in a
dash of tone that will contrast with
the rest of the skirt. AS Roman
stripes and Scotch plaids continue to
reappear, on the best of the new
clothes, it is only natural that they
should find an abiding place at the
bottom of the skirt or at the edge of
one of those wired tunics that are
made of all kinds Of thin materials.
There is dark blue coat suit of
gabardine which has two-inch hem
of red, white and blue plaid bound
with black velvet ribbon at the top;
the coat does not have a collar of the
plaid, which is the first thing one
thinks of it's having, but the Scotch
silk shows up as envelope flaps to the
three pockets, which are edged with a
black velvet ribbon and fastened over
a black velvet button.

Pique Shirts.

new pique is only distant relative TO

shirt is masculine in cut, with the ex.
ception of the neck, which is invari

rolling collars which owe their origin

rect finishing touches are added when
sash of plaid ribbon and a cravat 10

CHARACTER IN DRESS
ATTIRE SHOULD BE CHOSEN TO
DENOTE INDIVIDUALITY.
SIavish Attachment to Styie Never
DesiranIe-Evcry Woman Should
Be True to Herself and Her
Character of Beauty.

Why, II a fashion is pretty and be-
coming to o number of women, should
1t be abolished forever after it has
been popular for a certain length OF
time simply to make way for a new
rad. which may be neither pretty nor
becoming? This is the law which
governs clothes, law for which there
seems to be no good reason.
What person with any feeling for
clothes has ever ransacked some old
worm-eaten chest full of old lace and
quaint Jewelry and heavily lowered
or lavender color gowns all made in
the fashions of years ago without ex-
periencing some sensation of regret?
1t was, of course, absurd at any
time in the history of the world for
old women to wear ringlets, but it is
just as absurd for no women to wear
rlnglets because somebody or other
says they have gone out of fashion.
Certain peach-bloom cheeks were
made to be shaded by the soft dusk
OF black curls, just as certain heads
were born to look perfect under the
latest hat in black straw and paradise
plumes. There is the woman who
never looks so handsome as in hard,
plain tailor made costumes, and her
sister who turns us dizzy when she
appears in loose draperies of ivory
tinted lace sprayed with flowers.
In fact, it should be the aim of life,
not to stunt character or destroy in
dividu2lity. There should be a thou
sand fashions, where now there are
only a hundred. and all these fash
ions should be on show at one and the
same time. And every woman should
DE true to herself and her character
of beauty. She should change her
fashions every hour of the day if she
were so disposed until she had sue
ceeded in finding the exact fashion
which made her a thing of perfection.
And then, by law, she would be al
lowed to change no more.
In choosing the individual note in
dress it should be done with an eye
to color. Every woman has her own
particular shade, suggested perhaps
by her hair or eyes, and it is the
shade that suits her best once she
knows it. She should let her dress
maker or tailor do the rest for the col
or harmony. What prettier picture
could be imagined than the woman
with the curious touch of amber in
her eyes in a white gown with amber
beads and amber waistbelt?
The citizen., 1913-09-05
Curious, but Looks Well.

The fashion of wearing many feath,
ers on the hat with full boa to
match, both often in very bright col
CIR. gives curious aspect to the wear
er. this prodigality of plumes con-
trasting with the meager appearance
of the skirt and making the figure
quite out of drawing. The little chif-
fon coat, with it's lining of thin lawn,
is warmed than could be imagined,
and whether in white or in pale tints
is very soft looking and becoming.
The sleeves are short and quite full.
Pretty Ornament for Dining Table.
There is nothing prettier for the
center of the dining-room table than
one of the big, inexpensive green
crockery flower holders, made with a
weighted bottom, so 1t can't possibly
tip over and with a double series of
holes iii the top through which the
stems of flowers can be stuck and Sc
cuPely held.
