COLLARS AND JABOTS
ACCESSORIES THAT GIVE THE
TOUCH OF INDIVIDUALITY.

which can reflect the new styles,
show handwork and give freshness in
either white or color at the top of the
blouse.
Twine-colored etamine is combined
with strawberry pink linen in a pretty
collar This is plain shape, but the
alliance Of the two materials gives an
extremely smart effect. At the cor
ners are conventional roses embroid-
cred in pink wool Two long ends of
the etamine are edged with pink linen
and embroidered.
Pale blue linen is also seen, com
bined with sheer white linen, the
latter tucked and forming the upper
part of the collar The vandyke points
are Of blue and points of ecru lace
finish the collar, the whole being
edged with a pleating of sheer linen.
A broad tucked bib hangs in front,
the points eof blue linen and heavy
lace edging it. A pink ribbon bow
trims the top.
Another extremely popular model Is
of pale pink linen combined with fine
white linen and Irish lace. Pink coral
buttons are used on the pleated jabot,
and long lines of pink floss are en-
bro1dered on the edge of the top col

band of striped linen is set one inch
in from the edge, ruffle of linen fin

IS of striped linen in the center and
narrow strips on each side trimmed
with pearl buttons and loops on SOU

Heavy raspberry-pink linen is used

In a modified sailor collar. The"
pointed top is Of pink, with the color
carried out in embroidery in each
corner. A pleated white jabot drops
down from the center. The pointed
end is edged with pink and line of
pink linen buttons trims the front
Any color with white will carry out
this idea.
The high price of hand-worked col
lars and jabots puts variety of them
beyond the reach of the usual purse,
II they must be bought. Handwork
should be possible to every woman
who is not an idiot 1t is easy and
admits of many innovations. 1t can
be equally effective in either simple
or elaborate form. It's distinctive, in
dividual note is always appreciated
by the well-dressed woman. How
easy it is! If you once try the touch
of handwork, especially on accesso-
ries, you will become an ardent fol-
lower of the thread and needle. It
will In all cases lead you to success.

DRESS HAIR TO SUIT FACE
While Prevailing Styles May Be Fol
lowed, Individuality Is Always TO
Be Considered.

There are some women who remain
true to the parting in the middle of
the hair, F.lt the many prefer the part
ing on the side. The forehead is en-
tirely covered, as are the ears, and
there Is no bulge anywhere over the
surface of the head The fiatter the
better. This is the fashion. Every
individual must modify it to suit her
head and her face, for it is inartistic
and foolish to follow any fashion with
out regard to your personal appear
ance.
II a parting is not becoming, then
omit 1t and draw the hair softly
back. If ones eyes are at their worst
with the hair brought down to the
eyebrows, then it must be lifted.
The main mistake that nearly every
woman makes in arranging her hair
according to the new fashion is In run
ming it down in a bias line from the
middle of the forehead to the lobe
OF the ear. It was this line on each
side of the temples that contributed
to the hideousness Of the 1865 couture.
WOmSu WHo ldho IAc Time dhu
trouble to study their faces never use
this line. You will notice that they
make it as regular as though it were
carelessly scalloped across the brow
and temples. They give it an inward
curve at the end of each eyebrow and
then bring It out In front of each ear.
This line is as old as art itself and
can be seen on any of the famous pic
lures and statuary. It is not Grecian
n its strictest sense, but it is classic.
Of course the outward swerve in front

able to drop shells with accuracy close
behind Taboga island, making that
place untenable for an enemy. Be

island that a hostile feet would want

How strong land force is to be
kept in the zone by the United States
believe has not yet been determined.
1t is generally admitted that the great
est danger to the canal in time of war
lies in attacks by forces that might
have succeeded in landing on the 18th
mus. AS defense against this it may
be that small army must be main
tanned in the zone, and it has been sug-
gested that the towns of Empire and
Cuiebra, instead Of being destroyed
because they are on the wrong side"
of the canal, be utilized as quarters for
the soldiers. This would necessitate
connecting them with the other side OF
the canal, where the Panama railroad
has been relocated, by ferry, bridge or
tunnel. No decision on this matter has
been reached yet by the authorities.
Meanwhile the army has not been
neglectfng it's part of the defensive
work. For some time the Tenth in
fantry has been encamped in the zone
and its men, in small detachments,
have been hiking all over that part
of the isthmus. The possibilities of
landing a hostile force on the shores
of both the Atlantic and the Pacific
have been investigated, and also the
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1913-08-08

chances that such a force would have
of finding sustenance. Then little
groups of soldiers have been started
from various possible landing places
| with instructions to make their way
as swiftly as possible to given points
along the canal, mapping the country
i they traverse, in order to determine
what an enemy could do.
The result Of this work of investfga
ton SO far, briefly and wholly unofi.
cially stated, is that the shores Of the
Atlantic ocean, within a good many
miles of the zone, are impracticable
for landing force because of the ma.
ture of the country; that a landing
could be made easily on the Pacific
side some distance west of the zone,
but between there and the canal the
jungle is SO dense as to be virtually
impossible; that the dangerous dis.
trict is that lying Immediately east OF
the zone on the Pacific side. On the
last mentioned shores an enemy could
well land an army, and the semi-open,
rolling savannas between there and
the canal would give easy access to
the zone.
The army officers on the isthmus
make no secret Of the fact that their
investigations are being carried on
mainly with the Japanese in mind.
How those islanders could land there
and what they could do if they did
land are the problems engaging the
attention of Colonel Greene and his
men of the Tenth.
One defensive measure that has
been adopted is the clearing out OF
practically all inhabitants from the
zone. except at the ends of the canal
and in several of the larger towns
which, as I have said, may be kept as
quarters for the soldiers. All holdings
of land are being valued by mixed
commission and the residents moved
away. When the canal is completed
the jungle, much of which has beer
again, for the experience Of centuries
has shown that that jungle itself is g
powerful defense against an invading
army. The practicable roads through
it are few and far between, the
streams not navigable, and the growth
of trees, brush and great vines sc
dense that it is virtually impossible
for body of men, to say nothing OF
cannon and supply wagons. A rapid
dash through the jungle would be en-
tirely out of the question. and when
the zone is deserted all food supplies
will have disappeared.
Some fear has been expressed that
few men could land, make their way
quietly to the canal and blow up the
locks. But it seems unlikely that they
could get ashore and transport to tht
canal, undecided, enough explosives
to do any great damage.
On the whole. the canal will be quit
adequately protected-pr provided 1t /.
not attacked too soon.

Culebra, G. 1.-THE strongest de
Tense of the Panama canal, in my opin.
lon, is the fact that hostile vessel
must come into a 50O-foot channel long
before it is within striking distance OF
the vital points of the canal the locks,
and in doing SO must pass within easy
range of the forts that are being built
to guard the entrances y
So spoke Colonel Goethals when /
asked him as to the vulnerability of
the canal in time of war. Continuing,
he said:
'The naval power of the nations is
so nicely balanced now that no one
OF them would be willing to risk the
destruction of a single battleship by
attacking those forts, which will be
equipped with powerful guns, and of
course the accuracy Of guns on shore
is much greater than that of those on
moving vessels. I do not believe the
forts would be attacked from the sea
before the enemy had fought and won
a naval victory
The forts of which Colonel Goethals
spoke are nearing completion and the
emplacements for many of the heavy
guns already have been constructed.
No one not officially connected with
the work is permitted to approach
them, but venture to say that in case
of urgent necessity the guns could be
hurried down to the isthmus and
mounted ready for emergency service
within very short time.
