No one can afford to be Indifferent
when it comes to the selection of
clothes, for they are the universal
means of expression by which it is
possible to convey something Of their
wearer's personality to whomever
he meets. And in the selection of
coats and hats the Judgment is put to
the hardest test. This is because we
may have fewer Of these than of other
items of our apparel, and what we
have must do more varied and more
constant service.
But where the choice is broadened
by needs and the means to meet them,
coats and hats designed for special
service are added to the wardrobe.
Shown in the picture given here are

Bonnets and hats designed for the
midsummer wear of little maids when
they are "all dressed up" are con-
trived to look as youthful as the small
wearers and to suggest the happy
springtime of life in way irresistible
to mothers. A group of them pictured
here shows the materials and shapes
and the methods of handling them so
clearly that a written description
seems almost unnecessary.
Plain and figured crepe georgette,"
thin silks, nets, chiffon and lace, also
some silkstraw braid. are used in
making the body of headwear for little
people. And many hats for children
can be successfully made by the
home milliner. The p-ettiest ones
are those in which needlework-shir-
ring, fine tueks and plaitings-are fea-
tured, and they represent an outlay of
time and efficiency in sewing that is
much more expensive than the mate
rails necessary.
The little bonnet at the top of the
picture is one of those which can be
made at home. The frame is light

covered with a bias strip of crepe

When he had quite finished he came

he left the room.

When you are at the top of your

LEAVE NOTHING FOR ENEMY
pert in the Matter of Destroying
Weapons of War.

Military men are taught how to
destroy surplus stores which may be
useful to the enemy and which are in
danger of capture.
1t may be necessary to destroy
guns to prevent them falling into the
hands of the enemy, or to make cap
tured guns useless. If small
amount of dynamite or other explosive
is available OF course this can be done
very effectively.
If not, the breech of the gun is
closed and the hinge-joints smashed
as much as possible with a handspike
or pick If there is time a few rife
shots fired at the vital points of the
gun effectively jam the mechanism SC
as to make it useless.
With rifles, the butts are broken
off and the barrels destroyed as much
as possible. To do this the rifles
are well heated over a fire and
smashed up with heavy hammers. The
army hand books lay down that party
|, of five soldiers should be able to
| destroy so rifles an hour.
Ammunition is destroyed by plac

There will no doubt continue to be
a difference of opinion as to whether
the pardoning power should be vested
in the governor or a board of pardons,
but apparently the Becker case lends
no new support to the argument that
the responsibility should rest elsewhere
than the chief executive of a state
There is no reason to doubt but what
justice was well served by the refusal
to pardon Becker as it was by the COM
mutation of Leo Frank S sentence to
life imprisonment in Georgia, and it is
the duty of the governor to do his
part toward the enforcement of JUS
tice, even when some features of the
case incline him to mercy. The fact
that in the Becker case, the governor
who denied him pardon had been the
district attorney who prosecuted Beck
or and others charged with the crime
in question lends no new support to
the charge that an unfair advantage
had been taken of the condemned man.
Had Becker not been convicted by a
jury he would not have been sent to
the death chair, and in this instance
two different juries heard the case and
reached the same identical conclusion.
Governor Whitman could do nothing
else except let the order of the court
take its course.

How 5000 Are Killed Annually.

It is familiar plea which the Penn
sylvania railroad makes in a recent bull
letin on Hthe most needless waste of
human life in America The other
day a father and son were walking
along one of the tracks leading into an
Indiana city. The father stepped to
one side as a train approached, but
the boy did not. The fatality was
classed as an accident. Fatalities to
trespassers, the Pennsylvania IS bulle-
tin remarks, while classed as railroad
accidents are accidents % for which
the public alone is responsible.
When you trespass on a railroad you
are breaking law for your own pro-
tection.'' The law of trespass should
reasonably cover railroad rights of
way. But it is rarely enforced. The
public a-foot feels less hesitation about
entering a strip of track property than
it does about entering farm grounds
The remoteness of railroad authority
is perhaps one explanation.
cit is true the bulletin continues
''that more people are killed every
year trespassing on railroad tracks in
the. United States than the total mum

and Jac ksonville fires and the sinking

bly, an average of 5000 people meet
death every year while trespassing OF
railway property. This is condition
which could be corrected. What i,

There is general disregard for tn,
ono trespassing' signs which railroad
have erected. A penalty may be at
tached by the authorities of SOM
state legislatures, but this law is dead
else the record of 5000 victims a yea
would not be maintained. The pedes

would rarely prefer to walk down tn
middle of the car tracks as long as side
walks devoted to foot travel were pre-
vided. Yet, in sense, this is what tn

the highway, and follows the route 0
