The brims vary in width from a mere inch-wide strip supporting the crown to the big "cart wheel" six or more inches wide, which is the latest addition to the ranks of the sailor.
 Those sailors pictured in the illus tration given here are medium sized and therefore generally becoming. They are sensible hats, serving the purposes of headwear, and they em- body new style features which give them distinction.
 Two views are given of a rough straw French sailor, that is, one hay ing the brim curved upward, all around. It is lifted at the left side by means of bandeau.

 The hat is trimmed with narrow faille ribbon cut in short lengths, with bias ends. A wreath is made of these lengths and they are sewed over a cir eular wire with each strip overlapping the preceding strip. A fan is made of overlapping strips with fine wire en- cased in one edge of each strip for support. This is mounted on the crown at the back.
 The pretty touch of flowers on the bandeau against the hair is a revival of an old, familiar and beloved method of trimming too good to be long neg lected.

The side crown shows a fiat applique of berries, little daisies and foliage This fiat pose of blossoms is repeated on the brim, where little clusters are joined by long stems.

Three Red Cross
Nurses Are
Rewarded
GIVEN THE ORDER OF LEOPOLD
II BY KING OF BELGIUM FOR
BRAVERY UNDER FIRE

Dunkirk, France, April liking
Albert of Belgium has presented the
Order of Leopold II. to three nurses
of the English Red Cross contingent
for bravery under fire in rescuing
several wounded Belgians from the
trenches.
The names of the three nurses
are: Miss Muriel Thompson. Miss
Margaret Waits, Sister Mary White.
The three nurses had gone up to
the rear line of trenches during q
period of quiet, and were asked by
an officer to 60 to the front trenches
to assist a slightly injured soldier.
While they were in the front
trenches there came a sudden artil-
lery attack by the enemy. and sever
al Belgians were killed and wound
ed. An officer ordered the three
nurses to go back to safety at once,
but they refused to go until they
had attended to some of the wounded
who were near them. They then
found a stretcher, and with the aid
of a man, carried two of the wound
ed back to safety under heavy fire.
King Albert, in pinning the dec
orations on the three, made a short
speech paying a high tribute to the
work being done by women in the
present war.

FLOWED HIS LAND WITH
FORD AS A MOTOR

The Ford car gets more advertis-
ing than any other free Of charge.
The latest stunt performed by a
Ford originated in the brain of Mr..
C. d. Chadwick, the real estate man.
who has recently moved to the Chas.
T. Myers farm on Lake Fairview.
There was some blowing that had
to be done in a hurry, and having
no team with which to do it, Mr..
Chadwick hitched pillow to the hind
axle and started in to try the expert
ment. The man behind the pillow
really did the work, but the little
old Ford just rambled right along,
and in short time the five acres
was plowed-the Ford doing as
much work as four ordinary pillow
teams.
Fairview farm consists of forty
acres, much of it irrigated and in
pineapples. Mr.. Chadwick is going
to subdivide the property. 1t is
very desirable, being surrounded on
thee sides of the lake.

Laying Eggs
BY George Fitch

BY George Fitch.
Laying eggs is the only talent
which the hen possesses.
The hen is not handsome and is
one of the worlds poorest singers.
She has no education and produces

A hen hasn't even enough intelli-

Many people with only one tai

and decline to become useful to the
human race. But the hen isn't built
on this style. She uses her talent.
Early and late, year in and year out
she lays eggs, putting all the fervor
and enthusiasm of her being into
the process. BY so doing she has
become one of our most valued citi-
zens and is regarded with great af-
lection, especially when friend with

Man screeches with pride be-

German Socialist
Leader Is Called
To The Front
HIS SUMMONS TO THE ARMY
WAS TO KEEP HIM FROM COM
ING IN CONTACT WITH OTHER
SOCIALISTS, DECLARE HIS
FRIENDS

Amsterdam, April 19-The sum
moning of Carl Liebknecht. the Ger
man Socialist leader, to serve In one
Of the Landstrum regiments In
French Lorraine, has excited much
comment among his followers. ac-
cording to Dutch papers. Lieb-
knecht is a member of the Reich
stag, and is therefore exempted from
military service while the Imperial
Legislature is actually sitting, but
his exemption ceases when the House
adjourns. and the military authori-
ties have decided that henceforth he
must serve at the front for the
whole period of each legislative ad-
journment. The purpose of this,
Liebknecht's friends assert, is to
keep him away from contact with
other Socialists and under military
discipline.
Herr Liebknecht is 43 years old
He served as a young man in regi-
ment of engineers, doing his full
three years, and thence passing sue
cessfully into the Reserve and Land
strum. The other men Of his par
ticular class have not been called tt

The government lost no time In
sending Liebknecht away once thi
, move had been decided upon. On thu
very evening of the day on which
the Reichstag adjourned, soldier
in uniform appeared at the Social
+, list leaders residence in Charlotten
burg with an official order directing
Lebknecht to report himself "for in

lately with their aeroplanes to the
north of Lower Vistura.
One day recently, although there
was a heavy wind. fifteen German
aeroplanes made serious attack
upon an isolated house, where they
supposed, apparently from the in
formation of local spies, that the
staff of the Russian army was locat-

during their repeated trips back
and forth over the property. no few
er than a hundred bombs were drop
ped. No serious damage was done,

THE WAY MANY OF OUR
FLOWERS GOT THEIR NAMES

1t is quite interesting to know
how many of our flowers received
their names. Many were named after
people, who, in most instances,
either originated the particular va
riety or brought it to the public at
tention, often from some distant
land.
The beautiful fuchsias received
their name from Leonard Fuchs,
who discovered the species of now
popular house plants.
Andre Dahl found the dahlia in
Peru and brought it into more civil.
lized countries, where careful cul-
tivation has produced wonderful
improvement and made ut possible
for florists to originate a number of
distant varieties.
The camelia, which is SO very
popular, was carried from Japan to
France by missionary, named
Kamel. This beautiful species had
been improved and doubtless other
flowers will be produced by the care
full cultivation of this in connection
with other plants of a similar char
acter.
1T is claimed that the magnolia
was named after Magnol de Mont
pelier.
The names of many flowers are
descriptive of the objects they look
like. The lady's slipper resembles
q tiny slipper. Ladies tresses are
twisted in the form of braid OF
hair.
The odd flowers of the foxglove
resembles the fingers of glove.
The term foxglove is also claimed
to be corruption of the term
folks glove" or 'fairy's glove"
The star-like rays of the aster are
said to have given it its name. as as
ter means star.
Daisy is said to be really days
eye."
Dandelion is said to mean lion S
tooth. 1t is supposed to be on &C.
count of the peculiar notch on the
edge of it's flower.
I That unique flower known nearly
everywhere as "Dutchman's breech-
es," was so named owing to its re-
semblance to pair Of baggy
breeches. The original was pretty
cream color. but florists have sue
ceeded in producing other colors and
improving the size Of the plant.
OF course the morning glory de-
rives it's name from the fact that il
blooms only in the morning, and the
-four o'clock" because they open al
that hour in the afternoon.
The evening primrose derives Its
name from the fact that it bloom:
in the evening between shutdown
and dark. 1t is intensely interest.
ing and beautiful flower.

SCHOOLS AND EPIDEMICS

Doubt as to the wisdom Of closing
schools in epidemics of contagious
diseases is expressed by DR.. Francis
George Curtis, of Newton, Mass, in
bulletin on the Health Of School
Children" just issued by the Bureau
of Education. He says: "If the
schools are closed when an outbreak
occurs. the children are turned loose
from supervision; they mingle freely
with one another in the streets, on
Fairgrounds, and in each others
houses. They are having an extra
vacation and enjoying themselves
thoroughly and are unwilling to adj
nit that they feel i'll, lest they be
kept at home and prevented from
having good time. For this rea-
son they will not say they feel i'll I'M
til the disease is we'll advanced, and
they may be active sources of infec-
tion for some time before it is dis
covered that they are i'll.
"If the schools are kept open and
the children continue in the class
rooms as usual, they are under strict
observation and examined daily by
the school physician, suspicious and
infected cases being sent home for
observation or treatment.
"In this way many children are
sent home before they have had an
opportunity to infect others, thus re.
ducing the probability Of spreading
infection. Further than this, the at
tention of the parents is called tt
the fact that the child is feeling IL
and he is brought under treatment
earlier.
'aIt seems, therefore, that keepint
the schools open offers the hes
chance of safety for the pupils, boil
collectively and individually.
Instead of closing the schools ant
allowing the children to be scattered
and removed from supervision, wher
an outbreak appears the schools
should be kept open as usual ant
the children urged to attend. A ply
stefan should be detailed to thu
school where the outbreak hes ap
peared and instructed to examine ev
cry child daily, excluding such al
appear i'll or suspicious. This car
be done with very little disturbance
of the school work. A note mus
be sent to the parent stating thai
the child seems, or is Ill and mus
be seen by the family physician
Suspicious cases must be ordered t.
remain at home until further notice
and, IL necessary. must be visited ir
order to settle the diagnosis. Alb
sentees must be rounded up and ex
amined in order to gnd out why
they have been kept at home. II
