For these buoyant decorations the

found more satisfactory than other

ADDRESSING for little maids,
IL from babyhood to the debutante
age really means the manner of US
ing the hair ribbon, more than any
thing else. Every one who knows
girls. little and big and all sizes
between, knows how keenly they are
interested in the latest hair bow, the
newest hair ribbon, and how insistent
they are in the matter of keeping up
the pace set by the fashion leaders in
their young world.
The baby girl finds ribbon.decked
caps awaiting her Before she reaches
the dignity of enough hair to dress
little rosettes of baby ribbon have
made gay her headwear When she
gets to be in the neighborhood of
two years old. the reign of ribbon be-
gins for her and her first hair dress
ing is inaugurated with small rosettes
and bands OF baby ribbon like that
shown in the picture.
These little bands are made over
narrow elastic, which adjusts them to
the head. The rosettes are more or
less simple according TO taste and oc-
casion of wearing.
AS the baby girl grows older she Is
allowed wider ribbons. although the
narrow ribbons continue to play a
mart in her hair ornaments. From the

facing to sew the ribbon to the shape.
This part of the work must be care
fully done, for the stitches are not to
show on the upper brim. Use what is
called the blind stitch Tor slip stitch
for sewing the edge Of the facing to
the under brim. When 1t is sewed
down remove the pins and gather the
other edge Of the ribbon. Dispose
the fullness evenly and sew this edge
into the head size.
The wreath Of flowers is to be made
on circle of green-covered wire
(called bonnet" wire). After select.
ing the flowers to be used the sprays
are taken apart by unwinding the
small wire which holds the blossoms
together at the stems. The wire to
be used for the circle is the founda-
ton to which the blossoms are to be
wound. Arrange them by placing the
blossoms and foliage one at time

in taking the sprays apart.
When the wreath is completed &C.
cording to the directions 1t is to be
sewed to the hat at the base Of the
crown. Fasten its ends together after
it has been placed about the hat.
Use a long, strong needle and a
heavy linen thread Thrust the needle

several loose stitches Cut off the

THERE are many women who from
motives of thrift or because they
like the work, undertake to trim their
own hats. They are more likely to
be successful when they select model
and undertake to copy it, than when
they try to design for themselves. Two
OF the fashionable flower-trimmed
hats (called sailors" for some undis-
covered reason), are pictured here
which can be copied easily by the
home milliner.
After making selection in shapes
the next thing is to decide upon the
color Of silk or ribbon to be used in
facing the brim. and after that comes
the choice of the trimmings. Suppos-
ing that a shape similar to those
shown in the picture has been chosen
and Is to be trimmed with flowers, the
work is proceeded with as follows:
Select a messaline or other soft
ribbon three to five inches wide,

Or If the color is not becoming next
the face as a facing, choose a har-
monizing color that is becoming. For
the facing buy a length Of ribbon one
and half times the circumference of
the hat brim at its edge Hem the
ribbon in tiny hem about one-eighth
of an inch deep along one edge. Use
silk thread to match the ribbon and
sew the hem in on the machine.
Insert in this little hem a fine wire
called "shirring" wire. This should

the circumference Of the brim Pull
the ribbon evenly on the wire and fin

COULD WREAK DIRE HAVOC
Former Ambassador White Recon-.
mends Limitations on Aerial Mill
tary Operations.

Andrew D. White. former ambassa.
dor to Germany. and chairman of the
American delegation to the first peace
conference. says In letter to Joseph
H. Choate that third Hague peace
conference Is highly desirable and that
the efforts of the national administra-
ton to bring about such a meeting
would receive the support of all Ameri
cans regardless of party. Doctor
Whites health will not permit him to
attend meeting designed to promote
such conference. He says In his
letter:
Zone burning question left unsettled
by the second conference was the
partial or complete substitution of con
tact or floating torpedoes for ships in
maintaining blockades. The question
is rapidly coming up as to whether
aerial navigation shall be limited to
obtaining military information or ex-
tended to attacks upon fortified or in
vested places, or whether 1t shall be
given full power to spread devastation
over peaceful states.
Portable magazines containing high
explosives can be so dropped from
flying machines as to wipe out some
Of the largest cities In the world. If
any power should in the future begin
a war in manner so doubtfully regu-
lar as that in which Japan began her
war with Russia, the nation claiming
to be aggrieved may easily insist on
being absolved from those poor re-
straints at present relied upon and go
to any extreme in projecting explo-
sives into the defenseless cities of her
enemy, and blotting out some of the
greatest achievements of civilization. /"

RadIum Found In Salvador,

Information has just been obtained
that in the Central American republic
Of Salvador a reasonably certain find
of radium has been located. This de-
posit was discovered at Cerro Pelon,
In one Of the northern departments,
Sensuntepeque. not far from its chief
town.
The discovery was made by an Eng
lish engineer who some years ago
made careful study of the minaralogy
OF the district and took home with him
samples from the mines there. An
assay of these samples showed a very
complex combination Of minerals. but
at that time little value was placed on
them.
Recently this engineer made further
analysis in the light OF his larger ex-
perience and they gave undoubted
evidences Of containing radium, and
two qualified engineers were sent over
to make further and more detailed In
vestigations OF the ores.

some startling figures about the ex-
tent Of the suicide mania among Rus
sian troops. quoting report recently
presented to Moscow learned society
by a well-known military surgeon. Doc
tor Prozoron.
It appears that In 1905 no fewer
than 144 cases Of suicide occurred in
the Russian army. In the following
year the number rose to 1913. Since
then it steRdily kept on growing, be-
ing 210 in 1907, 242 In 1908, 26S in
1903. 2ss in 1910, BAT in 1911 and 405
in 1912. Within seven years, there
fore. the number Of suicides increased
about one hundred and fifty per cent.
The figures for 1918 have net yet been
published. but according to Doctor
Prozoroff. the first eight months of
last year showed 377 cases OF suicide
and 1879 cases of attempts at suicide,
and for 1914 the high mark continues.

DR.. Felix Szontagh of Budapest rec
ommends new and simple method of
treating warts. 1t consists in covering
the wart and the surrounding skin, to
the width Of one centimeter with or
binary caoutchouc plaster, and leav-
ing 1t so covered for weeks-even, if
necessary, for two or three months.
Whenever the plaster becomes loose
1t must be removed and replaced by a
new piece. AS rule, the plaster is
to be changed once in three or four
days
Any adherent residue of the caout-
chouc is to be removed with ether or
gasoline, care being taken that the
wart or the surrounding skin shall not
be rubbed theoretically, because irri-
tation of the skin is not conducive to
the disappearance of the wart Doc
tor Szontagh says that he cannot ex-
plain the action of this simple meth
cd, and how it produces such excel
lent results, from the cosmetic point
of view, but states 1t is certainly eff
cient. Perhaps the caoutchouc con
tains some substance which softens
the wart and causes atrophy.

MADE LAND ENGLISH
TO FRESHMAN THE FRENCH OWE
DEFEAT IN AMERICA.
SsP William johnson the Great STATES
man and Leader Who Held the
INDIANS Faithful to Him
and His Cause.

On the 18th of March, 1873, there
sailed into the harbor of New York a
vessel from the Emerald Isle bearing
among Its human freight a young man
OF twentythree who was to exert a
tremendous influence upon the for
tunes Of this continent.
The young mans name was William
johnson, to be known later on as Sir
William Johnson, king of diplomats.
natural born soldier and statesman,
and the greatest tanner of wild Indians
that ever lived,
Johnson was born in the county of
Meth. Ireland, In 1715, and might
ever have remained there had he not
fallen desperately In love. When he
told his love to the black-haired, blue
eyed beauty who had enthralled his
heart, he was rudely rejected, and in
his sorrow he resolved upon suicide.
But the lovesick swain was intended
for something better than that of fill
ing a suicides grave. Sir Peter War
rem. an uncle. solved the problem by
sending Johnson to look after his
large landed possessions in the Mo-
hawk valley.
The young man had hardly planted
himself in America when he began to
make his influence felt. Among the
red men he became at once a king.
By the magical power of his person
atty he made them both love and fear
him. His great common sense, iron
will, and unfaltering justice made him
the Great Father" of the savages over
whom no other man, white or red. vas
able to exert the least control.
The value of Johnson's power over
the Indians was seen all through the
mighty struggle between France and
England for supremacy on this CONT
nent. By keeping the formidable six
Nations true to the English cause
Johnson may be said to have saved
the day for the redcoats. The strate-
gic Importance of the state Of New
York in the French English war was
immense. and it was Johnson's diplo-
macy III preserving that Importance
for the English that finally turned the
scale in their favor.

born in West Boylston, Mass, 100
years ago. He was the son of cot

unusual inventive ability. At the age
of twenty-five he brought out his pow

the slow process Of hand weaving and
revolutionized the business of carpet
manufacture in America. In 1851 he
exhibited at the London exhibition his
power carpet loom, which could weave
as fine tapestry carpets as could be
produced in Europe. Before his
