The utilizing of vacant property
to extend nature study facilities for

Of fact every day. Teachers and
parents alike are realizing the added

the child student of nature from work

The elementary classes in the pub
lie schools of New York are allowed
50 minutes a week, divided into two
periods Of As minutes each, for ma
ture study. Vacant lots adjacent to
the schools are converted into gar
dens. where practical instruction is
given out Of doors.
Prizes are offered the children for
the best results in the school garden

Several special kinds of hats appear
among the spring showings of motor
headwear, among them exquisite Gro.
cheted hats of silk fiber braid, and
patent leather hats. The last are
wholly rainproof. But the crocheted
hats, and silk bonnets like those pic
tured here. are not much damaged by
rain. When the silk bonnet has
served its day it can be replaced for
so little money and is altogether so at
tractive that it is likely to remain a
favorite.

the children's aid, permanent improve.
ment in the physical condition of the
neighborhood is assured.
Deficient, ungraded children have
found great delight in the garden and
have proved themselves capable of
understanding how to plant and care
for the crops. To this end, brighter
future has been secured for children,
who, by the beneficent healing Of the
great Mother Nature, have found a
little niche they can adequately fill in
the scheme Of things, and instead Of
burden to the community they will
become useful members Of society. A.
commercialized farm has been sc.
cured, the earnings of which will be
apportioned to the young workers as
their reward.

THE motor bonnet of silk continues
! to stand at the head of the list as
the most practical of things designed
for the headwear of autoists. From
the standpoint of comfort, service, low
cost, becomingness, and the ease with
which it can he made, the silk motor
bonnet has no rival possessing all of
its advantages.
There are, however, many bonnets
that combine the soft millinery braids,
like those of hemp or silk fiber, with
silk in their construction, that are
just as durable and becoming. By
means of the braid the element of
novelty in design enters into their
composition, but they are less simple
to make than the silk bonnets. The
latter will not tax the ingenuity Of
the home milliner at all.
Taffeta silk is the most satisfactory
weave to use. Its body gives the bon.
net chance to remain shapely; 1t
sheds the dust easily and it is made
In most appropriate and pleasing col.
ors. Patterns by which to cut the
body Of honnets are furnished by any
Of the standard pattern companies.
Usually only about yard Of taffeta
and a small strip of crinoline are
needed, except when plaitings of the
silk are used for trimming. An extra
allowance must be made for this. Ma
chine stitching. with silk thread, helps
out In the finish and decoration of the
all.silk bonnets.
The veil of washable chiffon holds
its own with the silk bonnet "a the
best friend of the motorist. Chiffon
wells are SO essential that they form
. part Of the design In most bonnets
and are always reckoned with, either
% q part Of the decoration or an &C.
cessory.

one year and four months, and the

but the candidates are sure Of election

Two thousand able voters constitute
the lineup in Sumter for election day,
and the candidates are endeavoring to
buttonhole every man of that host and
get pledge of his support. Some of
the sprinters have made the round
trip two or three times and feel per-
fectly confident that every man thus
interviewed will vote for him next
Wednesday for county treasurer at
$4,000 per.
Following the treasurer's election,
and after the nine fellows who failed
to land the job quit the trenches, the
election for Jap Pea of the 1S9th dis
trict follows. This hot race is staged
for Saturday next, 18th, with Col.

Russians report another success.
The north, the Russian lines are
being Strengthened out by withdrawal
of some of the Russian forces. At this

Pinstk. These movements have re-
suited in the capture of several thous-

The final objective of the Teutonic
invaders is still matter OF conjec .
ture, but General Rusky, commander
of the Russian northern army, stated
positively that Petrograd would not
sfall this year.
