BY cLARIssA cHEsLEY.

A lovely grape shade OF velvet, or
the putty color which is favorite of
the season can be used TO cover the
hat which am describing in these
articles. Black velvet also could be
used for the facing.
Start the work of covering by plac-
ing the corner of the velvet directly
at the front inside the crown. The
inside OF the brim is fitted and then
the velvet cut, leaving at least a half
inch margin to go over the edge.
After milliner's glue has been APP
piled to the velvet and 1t is smoothed
out on the brim, the edge of velvet is
carefully turned over and whipped
down.
The velvet is. next fitted and pasted
down on the outside OF the brim to
within an inch of the edge after al
low ing another half inch for the turn
over.
A wire is inserted at the edge and
the velvet turned over that The
edges of the inside and the outside
are then brought together and sewed
through and through with long stitch
es which slant across invisibly be-
tween the edges and short ones
through the velvet on the outside.
The velvet is slashed on the inside
like the frame material and sewed
down to the crown wires.
The crown which is soft tam
shape, Is made OF a circle of velvet
measuring IA inches front TO back
and 13 inches across. This is turned
under and gathered over a wire. 1t
Is then fastened to the brim.
The seam on the brim must be

STRONG NAVY NEEDED.

When Secretary of the Navy Daniels asks for an appropriation of a half billion dollars for the carrying out of the plan to bring the navy up to fit standard during the next five years, it will be generally agreed that he does not take a radical view of the situa- tion. Even though his attitude con- corning the preparedness of the navy has undergone some important changes within the past year and disclosed some of the shortsightedness which prevailed at the time the last efforts were made for improving the naval strength of this country, the lessons which have been gathered from the war now going on make it evident that the first line of defense cannot be neg lected with wisdom.
 The fact that there is a broad ex- panse of water between this and other foreign countries is of much value as natural defense, but it will be serious oversight if we do not es- tablish a navy capable of defending our shores against an invasion made under such conditions. Great Britain had a very small army ready for oper- ations at the breaking out of the war, but it had the strongest navy in the world and nothing else served to in- sure it against an invasion as much as did this strength it was able to show upon the water.
 It was pointed out in the war col lege report that Germany and Austria even are so equipped with transports that they could land over a million soldiers on our shores in six weeks and that Japan could place a quarter as many in thiss country in two months unless this couAtry by means of it's navy was able to stop them. While nothing of the kind is contemplated or probable it is nevertheless the part of wisdom for this country to strengthen that very branch of it's defense which would have to be called upon first should anything of the kind ever de- velop.

tained his right to a part in his gov ernment. All classes of his nation have possessed heritary property rights, and the right to trial by jury. From the earliest times, they enjoyed local self-government. and adminis- tered their town and village affairs.
 ''The great noble of the Empire was privileged before the law in that he could not be called upon to appear be- fore a court in the morning, never in the afternoon; but this privilege did not give him any immunity from pun ishment for his crime.
 'Nor did the Servian Church ever attain the dominant ascendency over it's subjects that was won by the Church in other lands. It was estab- lished as a public utility, and its du- ties to the people were closely defined in the old Servian codes. Thus, the monaSteries were bound to feed the hungry, to take in the sick, and to give hospitality to the traveller. Moreover, the Doushan Code says:-"The monk shall possess nothing and shall not have in his cell even a needle and thread without having received it in benediction from the Old One" G. e. the Abbott.)
 While the Serb has never been the victim of a to strong social organiza- uon. with its attendant specialization of classes. he has been, in many in stances, the victim of to great in- dividual freedom, of an individual freedom, of an individual freedom that has deprived his State of sufficient or ganized strength wherewith to repel the foreign enemy.

garian.
 The supplies to be obtained from those two countries are very large - much larger. in fact, than Germany and her ally are likely to need. Here in Germany, the fact has been estab- hshed through official inquiry that the stock of grain in the country is ample for feeding the population; abroad for bread-making purposes. On the other hand, big addition to the grain supplies will come in very acceptably. as 1t can be fed to live stock and thus increase the meat supply.
 Rumania produces about $500, 900 tons of grain, of which about 3,0O0.000 tons represent corn, 2,300,O00 tons wheat, and the rest is chiefly bar ley. Nearly half of the crop has hitherto been exported. The amount now available for export. however, is believed to be at least 5,000.O0O tons, after about two-thirds of last years exportable surplus was left in the strictive measures. In Bulgaria, ac- cording to official estimates, there will be about 100000 tons of grain for export from this years crop of which about 100000 tons represent corn and the rest chiefly wheat; and besides these amounts there are about 100000 tons of corn and barley left in the country from the 1914 crop. There is thus a possible suply of some 6,500,- 000 tons Cor more than 225, 100000 bushels) in the two countries for Germany and Austria to draw from. Other food stuffs can also be obtain ed from Bulgaria. Before its recent period of wars began the country was exporting about S5,O00,0O0 worth of animals and meats yearly; and it is expected that considerable quantities of butter and eggs will not be export ed to Germany. The resumption of traffic on the Danube will also bring Germany into trade relations with Turkey again The importance to Germany of this connection is evident fro mthe fact that Turkeys exports of raw materials amounted before the war to nearly s110, ,00O, 900, and those of food products to about S135, 900, 900.

THE NOTE TO AUSTRIA.

The text of the United States note to Austria reveals that just such de- mands as intimated would be made have been made of the dual monarchy. No words are wasted, but in a short, sharp and pointed communication Aus tria is given to understand that by the sinking of the Ancoha and the taking of the lives of it's passengers by fail ure to put them in a place of safety, the principles of international law have been violated and by the con- duct of the submarine commander there has been a wanton slaughter of defenseless -combatants.
 The note holds that the acts of the submarine commander were commit ted with a full knowledge on the part of the Austro- Hungarian government of the views of this government re- garding such conduct as is evidenced in the protests against the German sub marine policy and while it Is inclined to believe that the fault lies with the commander of the submarine rather than a wilful disregard of the atti- tude of this government by Austro- Hungary, it nevertheless takes the proper course in demanding that the act be disavowed, that reparation be made and that the offending. com mander be punished
 The matter is placed fatly before Austria without any quibbIing and it is made plain that prompt action is called for with the alternative that diplomatic relations will be severed. No other course appears to be pos sible if the rights and dignity of the United States are to amount to any thing. It is hardly to be believed that Austria will be willing to stand before the world as the sponsor for such a policy, for there is no misunderstood ing possible of the position which this country has taken or the firm demands which it has made.

PLACING THE CONVENTIONS,

Many bids have been made for the next republican national convention, some of which are altogether out of the question before a vote is taken Opinion appears to be divided as to whether it will go to Chicago or St. Louis, and if the latter is finally se- lected it will mean the same city as has been selected by the democrats. The same reason may be advanced in behalf of the latter as was put up before the democrats when it was de- clared that the convention was needed by that city in order to hold Missouri in the democratic column. It has been considered a democratic state and was until it gave it's electoral vote in 1908 to Taft, but it is now looked upon as decidedly shaky, and if there is in- 1uence to be gained by having the democratic convention there whatever advantage would be gained thereby would be offset by the holding of the republican convention in the same city.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

SerVia-"Slavery never existed un- der the Servian State, and Serviau emperors in Europe's youth made pro- tests in behalf of individual liberty the subject of international communica- tions," says the latest primer of the National Geographic Society, which tells of some early Servian traits that illustrate how naturally this people came by their passionate love of freedom.
 "The Serb, like all of his Slav broth CTS, has been a believer in the equal ity of men from his appearance in history. This belief has been main tained by him, despite his long con tinued contact with autocratic Byzan- tium and the Ottoman Empire. The empires to the south of Servia were mostly the strongholds of privileged rank and subservient masses, while the sturdy Slavs in the north jealous ly guarded the rights and the dignity of the individual.
 Etiquette at the Byzantine court demanded that the great noble who came into the presence of the em- peror should bow, kneel and kiss the emperor's thigh and knee. The man of low degree who reached his rulers s presence had to groYel prostrate on the earth before him. The noble at the Servian court greeted his Sover- eign erect, while each kissed the other on his temple. Even the commoner stood erect before his ruler, follow ing the ceremonial of kissing the rul- CTS hand.
 Hereditary titles have played but a small part in life in Servia, and be- sides the head man of federated clans, the despot, king, emperor or prince as the heads of the Servians have ranked-birth in a caste has conferred few privileges.

 No, no reason exactly. You see I had thought, but, well. it doesn't matter"
 What doesn't matter3"
 Since you insist, I'll confess that had thought it would be delightful to have some of your delectable Ban bury tarts for our tea tomorrow. They would be a great treat and nov city. But of course I couldn't ask you to stay home to make them.'
 'I can't stay home this morning for I have coat fitting appointment, but I'll come back early and make the filling for the Banbury tarts this aft ernoon, and I can make the pastry and bake them tomorrow"
 That will be splendid. They'll be absolutely fresh for the tea in the aft ernoon," I cried enthusiastically but 1t seemed to me that Carols answering smile was somewhat bittersweet.
 The Banburys were delicious. David, who dotes on them, ate nearly a dozen. I know, and all praised them highly. l told everybody that Carol had made them, although it really took her so long that I had to have lilly help hre toward the end, though I needed her assistance myself in decorating the table and arranging the flowers.

 Yes, it was very nice, indeed" Carols tone was lukewarm. If you'll excuse me, Lucille. I'll go right to bed instead of playing bridge with the men you asked to return this eve ming, for I must be ready to attend to my unfinished shopping to-mor- row morning and take the noon train home"

SAYS HOT WATER WASHES POISONS
 FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water with phosphate In t
 before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbial fiddle, we must keep the liver washed clean, almost every morning, to pre- vent its sponge-ln<e pores from clog ging with indigestible material, sour bile and poisonous toxins, says a noted physician.
 If you get headaches, it's your liver If you catch cold easily, it's your liver. If you wake up with a bad taste, furred tongue, nasty breath or stomach be- comes rancid, it's your liver. Sallow skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes all denote liver uncleanliness. Your liver is the most important, also the must abused and neglected organ of the body. Few know it's function or how to release the damned-up body waste, bile and toxins. Most folks resort to violent calomel, which is a dangerous, salivating chemical which can only be used occasionally because it accumulates in the tissues also attacks the bones.
 Every man and woman, sick or we'll, should drink each morning be- fore breakfast, a glass of hot water with teaspoonful of limestone phos- phate in it, to wash from the liver and bowels the previous days indigestible material, the poisons, sour bile and toxins: thus cleansing sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 Limestone phosphate does not re- strict the diet like calomel, because it can not salivate, for it is harmless and you can eat anything afterwards. It Is inexpensive and almost tasteless and any pharmacist will sell you a quarter pound, which Is sufficient for demonstration of how hot water and limestone phosphate cleans, stimulates and freshens the liver keeping you feeling fit day in and day out.
