OF all things, millinery requires
careful choosing. and, after it is
bought, the hat requires careful plac-

must look better with your hat than
without it'-that is the exacting test
to which each new mode is to be sub

A Romance Of
Flowers
But There Was Much In
1t That Was Practical
By EUNICE BLAKE

Mary Blackmore had the misfortune
to lose her parents when she was six
teen years old and was left with no
support. A Mrs. Ashurst, an old friend
OF her mother, was the only person
upon whom Mary could rely for ad-
vice. This lady had her own peculiar
notions. She regretted the necessity
for women to earn their own living,
assigning as a cause the gradual segre-
cation Of the Y Reaching down
below this, she found a prime cause
IN the increased expense Of providing
for a family which threw men into
clubs, where they spent their incomes
instead of on homes. This in turn
gave rise to WOmen'S clubs, and the
separation was complete. Among the
poorer classes the result was depend
ent directly on the high cost of living.
Such was the basis Of Mrs. Ashurst's
views. Though acknowledging that if
men would not support wives women
must support themselves, she derre-
Gated the situation. When Mary asked
her to help her to get work the good
lady let out q storm Of reproach upon
men for spending their lives frittering
away their incomes instead of choos-
ing various good girls who would be
helpmeets to them and enabling them
to concentrate the flow of loose change
constantly dripping from bachelors
pockets into family savings banks.
But" she added, 81 admit that there
Is a risk in any mans doing so. There's
not a family Of my acquaintance that
is not spending every dollar Of it's in
come, if not more, in trying to keep a
position among people who care moth
ing for them"
Having thus delivered herself, Mrs.
Ashurst concentrated her words on the
individual case Of the applicant. "Pve
known you since you were a child,
Mary" she said, "and I'm sure you
would make a good wife for some
young fellow who is beginning life as
you are. At the end Of ten years he

SUBMARINE SHIPS
AND SEA MINES
Both Play an Important Part
In European Wal.
UT is rather interesting in these

MT is rather interesting in these
days of frequent submarine raids
to reflect that when Fulton, the
American inventor, first pro-
pounded his idea for an under water
boat and experimental under the aus
pieces Of the British and French gov
ernments his plans were denounced as
''revolting to every noble principle"
both French and British admirals de-
claring that they wished to fight like
gentlemen and not to be drowned like
rats"
The method of attack of a submarine
is very simple. Seeing an enemy she
blows out the required number Of air
tanks and by means of her planes de-
sends until the coming tower is Just
above water, from which the move
ments Of the distant enemy are observ-
ed. Having approached within a dis
lance judged to be safe from discovery,
the submarine is submerged complete
ly, her course being conned solely by
means Of the periscope, and at the
chosen moment discharges her torpedo.
AT night the submarine is blind, and
in bad light or rough sea she works
with difficulty owing to the obscurity
Of her vision.
The submarine is still in a way an
unknown quantity in international law.
While the existing rules of internation-
al law provide that all passengers and
crew on unarmed belligerent merchant
vessels must be taken off before the
ship can be sunk, this has been held
to apply to war vessels which are able
to care for passengers. The fact that
a submarine may endanger itself by
approaching Il b%elligerent merchant
man is a consideration which may ne
cessitate new rules when the subject
is taken up by future conferences.
In addition to the submarine ship,
the submarine mine is playing an i'm
portant part in the present European
war and in the strategy of the fighting

EXTRACTED BULLETS
OWNERSHIP A PUZZLE
German Jurists Dispute Right of SOL
dier to Memento of Wound.

The question of the ownership of an
extracted bullet is being debated with
considerable vchemcncc in Germany.
AS a rule, q patient wants to retain
the bullet as i curiosity. On the other
hand, the surgeon likes to keep it.
a judge in Berlin has decided that Il
wounded soldier has Il perfect right to
the bullet that lodged in his body be-
cause, when it reached him, it was
legally subject to nobody's ownership.
The enemy relinQuished it's ownership
in sending the bullet forth.
This question of no ownership does
not give the surgeon who extracts the
bullet any right to it, even if the
wounded soldier at the time should be
unconscious and unable to assert his
claim. Should the surgeon retain the
bullet extracted by him the soldier has
a good cause for damages against him,
the court held.
Other jurlstS assert that the enemy
does not lose its ownership after the
firing OF a bullet, and whoever comes
out victorious has a right to all the
ammunition that has been fired and
which can be recovered from the
wounded or dead. Therefore, no indi-
vidual has any right to lay claim to
an extracted bullet.
The debate is being carried on with
the greatest amount of seriousness by
medical and legal authorities. who are

Mary would have declined this prop
o%sition, but she had not a cent in the

BILE to her benefactor, but there was

Mary had been with Mrs. Ashurst

twenty-five years old, who had rented
a house with some grounds about it

been we'll brought up among associ-

game, particularly as it relates to the
defense Of a country on its seaboard
or to the offense of a nation against
an enemy's navy.
Mines, as they are placed in the sea
and as they have been placed in great
numbers in the North sea, are of three
kinds-harbor defense mines, deep sea
floating mines and moored contact
mines.
Harbor defense mines are part Of
the armament of a country to keep the
vessels of a hostile nation from enter
ing a harbor to occupy a city. They
are used to the best effect where the
channel to a harbor is somewhat mar
row. These mines consist Of heavy
charges Of a high explosive placed in
the channel. They are exploded by
an electric current sent through a wire
connecting them with the shore. The
contact that detonates the mine is
made from a fort on shore or other
point Of observation, and the explosive
is discharged when the ship of an enc
my is close to the hidden mine.
These mines are under the control
of man. and unless through an acct
dent or by mistake they could not in
jure the ships Of Il neutral power or
OF the power which controlled them.
The other kinds Of mines are auto
matte and make no distinction between
friend and foe. II the ship Of a friend
ly power touches the mine it is the
same as though the ship Of a foeman
had touched it. If the proper contact
is made the mine is discharged.
The deep sea floating mines are the
easiest to place in position. and they
are the most easily detected Of any of
the different classes of mines. AS
their name indicates. they float on the
surface of the sea and can be seen by
the vigilant lookout of Il vessel in
many instances and can be avoided
or can be detonated from a distance
without danger to the ship sighting
them.
The moored mines are invisible from
n ship and are the most dangerous to
ordinary shipping. They are cast over
board from the mine laying vessei and
consist of n globe Of light shell which
contains the explosive charge and the
detonators.
