THE TOWN BEAUTIFUL.
Movement to Distribute Flower Seeds
 Should Spread


 Should Spread. In Nebraska several public spirited communities have adopted the prac- tice of distributing flower seeds to children in connection with the clean up and paintup propaganda. The children are instructed in the planting and care of flowers and also in the simple methods of digging gar denS.
 The practice is known as the town beautiful movement" Many yard after being cleaned up becomes spot of real beauty when d flower garden decorates it. Even back yard can be made pleasure to the eye in this way.

Washington. Jan. 23.-The largest

navy for battle.
Yet every Jack Tar is glad he IS
there. Great fascination surrounds
the manoeuvers, the orderly march

parade ground of the ocean, dread
thoughts and cruisers taking place
of individual soldiers, but obeying
the orders sen, Nv wireless and wig
wag just as implicitly and readily
as a squadron of we'll drilled cavalry
The firing of the great guns is fun
for the officer and man, too. Target
practice is great game. Every
nerve is strained to make the enorm-
Gus rifles do their best and hot riv-
airy is exhibited by gun crews. Bust
ness is pleasure when the heart is in
it.
The eyes of the whole United
States are directed to Rear Admiral
Frank Friday Fletcher and his ships
today. A great wave of criticism rs
swept over the country. European
war has created interest in the
army and navy; and every patriot
feels that if not the greatest we
should have the best navy in the
world.
Is the navy up to scratch?
This is the question the manoSuv-
res may solve and at the same ime
do, a great deal toward makins IT
nossihle to answer in the affirmative
The navy needs manoeuvres, just as
an army needs drills. A fleet will
be awkward in forming in battle line

TUNES that are adapted to its needs
are always in demand and here is a
lgroup of most attractive ones. This
is essentially season of tunics. While
I'VE are wearing skirts that show other
features, the tunic is an essential
,,favorite and has been adapted to the
girls as well a. to their elders. With it
either the sash or the girdle seems a
necessity and all kinds of pretty rib
bons, velvet in plain and in fancy
,,colors and silks and satins, are utilized.
Band trimming makes rather con-
spicuous feature. The straight gath
cred tunic that is shown here is banded
with velvet ribbon while the deep cor
selet girdle and under skirt are Of
fharmeuse satin and the material for
the blouse and girdle is the net that
is perhaps liked as we'll as any ma
teriai of the season. Banding not

manoeuvers have been neglected.
This is the first time in three years
that the entire fleet will be assembl-
cd for battle practice. Three years
means a long while when one consid-
ers how fast the art OF naval warfare
is developing. Just to mention one
item: Naval guns of IA inch calibre
were carried on no ship in the world
the New York both carry these mann
moth rifles and It is currently re.
ported that Great Britains new Queen
Elizabeth class, now building, Will
have Is inches.
When one considers that the fleets
Of Great Britain, Germany, France
Austria, Russia and Japan are now
engaged in actual war work every
day in the year il is easy to see that
the United States must do a lot OF
practicing even to approximate mo
degree of efficiency to which the
fighting navies Of the world are Ar
irving.
Drill For Month.
The Guantanamo manoeuvres will
be the most extensive target and
fleet practice the American navy has
ever gone through They viii last
through the greater part of the
month and will be followed by the
Panama canal opening exercises,
which may involve some Vancouver

The armored fleet dhe biggest
ships) will be in four divisions OF
twenty-one vessels. Ten will be of
the so-calle6 "dreadnought" class
and eleven of the pre-dreadnoueht
type Besides there's, two of the
four armoured cruisers of the fleet
and all of the torpedo flotillas, eX-
cent those in reserve. will be pres
ent.
The submarine flotillas will not
take part.
Never refore did the fleet contain
practically two complete divisions Of
the dreaGnOught class. The first di.
vision consists of dreadnoughts of the
most powerful type and the second
division is made up of these pow erful
ships. except one pre-dreadnoughtI
battleship.
In addition to the battle ships. five
destroyers will have part in tbs
exercises. This means twentv-one
more craft. There will be ten auxil-
aries and the scout cruiser Rirmins-
ham. which is the flagship of the tor
pedo flotilla.
This does not mean that all the
vessels under Admiral Fletcher's

THERE is perhaps no topic OF
greater interest just now than
L the development Of cotton manu-
facturies within our own borders.
Among the new materials exploited
are wonderfully beautiful cotton
cranes made on American looms that
are in every way deserving OF hearty
RECOGNITION. The white crepe is de-
]iqhtfully fine and soft, perfectly
adapted to gowns and to the under
wear that so many women find practi-
cal and satisfactory. The colored
crepes include plain materials and
also tiny flower designs that are
quaint and picturesque in the ex-
trene. Nothing better could be sug-
eested for the dancing frocks tor
Young girls and children's simple
entertainments.
VVIAsHABLE silk Of handsome
NJ quality may fairly be said to
w be something of a novelty.
Among seasonab'e fabrics are satins
of wonderful quality and the daintiest
possible silks that can be laundered
perfectly and with case. Almost es a
matter of course, these goods are
made in the Orient, for the Japanese
and Chinese seem to be especially skill
full in treating silk in such ways.
Crapes are to be found in self-colored
striped effects and are really fasci-
mating for dancing gowns and purposes
of the sort. The price for both the
crepe and the satin is $3.50 per yard
and the width is thirty-six inches
~LOVES are one OF the Access
SORES which seem perpetual
demand. This season heavy
white glace kid stitched with black
will be especially smart for visiting
and all occasions of the sort. For
mourning wear. there is a tendency
toward the use Of giace kid in place
of the suede that heretofore has been
held correct. Since the glace is inf
nitely more durable, the change in
conventions will be welcome one.
NEEP girdles Of the corse.et order
are worn with many costumes.
The fact that there are velvets
in stripes and in plaids made expressly
for the purpose may be welcome news.
They arc not over-costly and they are
wonderfully beautiful in color.
~HERE is an undoubted tendency
toward higher neck closings in
gowns and in coats although the
change is coming somewhat slowly.
Among the novelties exploited are very

five captains, more than 1000 officers

The total money value of the fleet
is $S00,000,000.
