Plans Not Complete.

Mr.. Daniels indicated that he had not
yet developed anything like a complete
working plan for the inventive bureau.
He has in view, however, the concen-
tration of such navy experimental sta
tions as the coal-testing plant at An
napolis., the tank for testing hull
models at the navy yard here and the
aerodome where studies in air cur
rents are made. in one great expert
mental laboratory.

tary Daniels, ''by the acceptance of

Of an advisory committee. composed of
men who have been recognized by all the
country for their inventive genius, to
assist the Navy Department in developing
such ideas for new things as may be pre-
sented. Mr.. Edison's representative
called this morning and explained that, as
I asked Mr. Edison for his judgment on
some features, the formal letter of ac-
ceptance would be delayeds but that Mr.
Edison had authorized him to inform me
that he would gladly undertake what /

Requires Careful Thought.

The selection of the members of
the advisory committee requires care
full thought, but / hope to announce
them shortly. In broad way. the un-
derlying idea is to make available the
latent inventive genius of our country
to improve our navy. 1t is American
inventive genius that has made prac-
tical the i-on-clad. the submarine and
the aeroplane. In one way. it is our
greatest military asset. which. in the
past. has been Of more value to us
than many reginents OF troops or
ships of the line. and I feel sure that
it will not fail US now. Under the
stress of actual war conditions other
countries have taken up devices which
we were first to appreciate and utilize
and make practical. and, by concen-
srating the attention of the best minds
ried them to a high stage of develop
ment; and we should not only keep up
with the procession, but take our nat
ural place just a little ahead of the

country at large, that men Of inven-

seem necessary for the best results
that consultation should be had with

country in the working out OF the more

special knowledge and special talent
for their perfection. With Mr.. Edison
to my request, feel sure that the ad

THE average housewife is constantly
 scheming to make her home pret- tier in some way, but she rarely con- siders the kitchen in her calculations. The place where all the food is pre- pared is usually as much neglected in the Identification of the home as the proverbial stepchild. Just why this should be is quite incomprehensible, yet it is so. The kitchen in most Amer ican homes is hidden from strange eyes, like the skeleton in the closet, though all the other rooms may be open to visitors at any time.
 Our English cousins plan their houses quite differently, and we might well take a leaf from their notebooks with regard to the treatment of the kitchen. Almost all English Kitchens are per- feet models, not only of cleanliness, comfort and light, but of beauty, with their attractive color schemes, shin ing copper or pewter pots dainty cur tains and honey appearance.
 They are not only kitchens, but sit- ting rooms for the maids as well, and perhaps this is one of the reasons why English servants are content to stay in one position so much longer than our American help.
 It is possible to make our kitchens almost as attractive as those in Eng fish homes if we give to them a little time and thought. Most women, how kitchen decoration except the old, in- evitable delft blue and white combina- tion, which grows extremely tiresome otos,. aI xN
 The first step is to decide on the color scheme. Perhaps one of the pret- tiest is a gray and green combination, with touches of dark brown to relieve the monotony of two tone kitchen. For this the walls should be painted a pearl gray.
 It is mistake to have the kitchen papered. The best wall covering for the kitchen is calcimine, or washable paint which has not a shiny surface. If whitewash is used the gray color can be mixed in with this.
 It is just as easy to pick out pots and pans in a uniform color as to se- lect one gray one blue and white. For the gray and green kitchen the gray enanleled ware should be chosen, as it will look very pretty and is not hard to keep clean.
 The gray walls and gray ware will be brought into pleasant contrast by a linoleum of dark green and white checks. It is a fact that strongly con- trasted patterns, such as dark and light checks. often look clean when they are not. That is why light blue and white is impracticable for kitchen use; it shows every footprint. An entirely dark linoleum, on the contrary, lends a dingy air to the whole room. dark green and white or black and

VANITY RIDING CROP.

ONE fall novelty is a riding crop most V businesslike in appearance. It is headed with perfectly practical big gold head, flat and broad. Such is the outward and seeming appearance of this novelty.
 The perfectly practical gold head. however, demands closer attention. Press a little catch and behold the thin gold cover springs open to reveal on the reverse side a small mirror and in the cavity disclosed a tempting little pun with which powder can be deftly applied to the heated face. One sug- gests, however, that the powder should be applied when the horse isn't looking. For of what effect riding crop on a self respecting horse the real purpose of which is to harbor powder puff

For the Nervous Child

TRY the fresh air cure for the irrty I table or sickly child.
 Take him out of school for a week q so. Immediately after breakfast pull him in a comfortable chair in the open air. If you have no porch put the child in a room with a number of win- dows in it. open these windows as far as possible, top and bottom, and wrap the child up as for the open air.
 Remember that sitting out of doors one needs twice as many wraps as when walking. Use a warm cap over the ears, a sweater under the coat, steamer rug, shawls or blankets. If the feet are cold a hot water bag will be a comfort. .-..
 Allow the child to read little and to play some quiet game. but not con- stantly or to the point of exhaustion.
 At 10. o'clock serve a hot drink and again at in the afternoon. Vary the drink-hot milk, soup of various kinds. cocoa, never tea or coffee. Give cracker or a thin bread sandwich with the hot drink.
 If the child is out three hours in the morning and three in the afternoon you will soon see rosy cheeks, a good appetite and quiet nerves.

ticies in the well gowned woman's wardrobe. While they are not neces- sarily as long as formerly, they must be long enough to conceal the ridge of the corset top. Many of this type made to catch on the top corset hook are being offered at the various shops. They greatly aid in molding the figure. These dainty affairs are fashioned of firm, heavy lace and linen and are really quite a dainty addition to mi- iady's lingerie.
 Fur coats are to be longer than for some seasons past. It is only the very young girl that is favored with the chic, rather short coat of fur. The new tight collars or the swathing collars that button up the front or the side require so very little material that many of them will be formed of the shorter haired skins. Fur sets are t< be more popular than ever. The ex- tremely modish muir Is to be the small round one, although the envelope. ob- long and others of medium size will be in evidence.
 Women who are fond of earrings may perhaps be interested in hear ing a few facts about them. Sad it ts for the emancipated woman of the present day to learn that these fash- ionable ornaments were originally mark of slavery. In bygone days the slave always wore his masters ear rings Tn the east they were a sign of caste and were buried with the dead. Some ancient earrings were very elabo- rate. and many statues had their ears bored in readiness for votive offerings of earrings M

 Dark brown chairs and brown wood work will afford the necessary con- trasting tone. The dark woodwork will look even prettier than white with the light walls. If there is rocker for the maids use in the kitchen e cushion of gray and green will add dainty touch.
 One attractive kitchen had novel note introduced in the glass doors of the china closet. The upper half was covered with chintz squares, which not only lent a pretty touch, but served to hide the heavy chinaware kept on the upper shelves.

WOMAN OF FASHION. DO YOU KNOW-

THAT the newest veil for motoring Is of chiffon and net? The fine mesh is arranged to drop over the face be- tween brow and chin, so that the mo- torist gets plenty of air, while the hat, coiffure and throat are protected from dust by the chiffon which comes at either side of the net. To make one of these motor apparel accessories take an ordinary chiffon square veil and cut away from it-inside the stitched wide hem-enough material to cover the face; then in it's place insert the net. If the edges of both the materials en- ployed for this veil sare first closely overcast, to join them neatly will be perfectly easy.
 That the incest slip to wear under evening gowns in malines, chiffon or lace is made in two pieces instead of cut in princess manner? The soft, thin silk or satin used for the slip is cut into a skirt of four straight widths deeply hemmed and then decorated with garlands or trailing vines in rib bon embroidery. At the waist line the skirts top is closely shirred to a heavy self cording at the base of a fitted, boned girdle, whose stitched inch deep hem comes in line with the armpits. Below the hem comes more of the rib bon embroidery and to it's upper edge are attached doubled lengths of ribbon, which meet and are bowknotted on the shoulders.
 That of all the accessories in dress none are more charming than the new tailored ties which come from Paris? :? Made in moire or corded silk, these ties vary in shape from the very small design to the bigger proportions of the Latin quarter bow which spreads it's way artistically over the front of the blouse
 The ties commenced their new career in the smallest of shapes. A band of moire, black mostly and only half an inch wide, was drawn round the neck under the blouse collar and its ends were folded modestly in the front Bigger designs in moire or black vel vet were worn next, with bows as we'll as ends, and then the Latin quarter tie made it's appearance on the fash ionable blouse.
 The revival of ties among women is accompanied by new fashion in foot wear, which brings the two into har- mony. Ties are made in black and white, and shoes are arranged also to match in these two colorings The tie is of corded silk, the white being criss- crossed with the black, and the shoe uppers repeat the trimming scheme.

hat is of velours felt topped with a white feather, while the button boots are white topped also.
 There is still apprehension in the air about fall millinery. One expert calls the new hats wild" Designs that are almost brinaless and unusually high stock milliners' shelves. And the trim mings! Applique parrots, luscious punches of jet fruit and lavish bouquets of gay flowers adorn odd shapes. American women will patronize these nosegays the more willingly. realizing that they give work to thousands of girls and women. The fall hat we feature is of satin nocturn with a rolling brim and deep ish crown. Its airship effect is obtain ed by silk ailerons with fringed edges set jauntily on one side of the center.
 Shoes appear to be growing more conservative. No one seems to care how much material is used in skirt if only it be supple enough to cling to the figure. Blouses are long sleeved and low necked. and certain smart

nothing to be added but the fresh waist or afternoon dress, which can be tucked in at short notice. If these lit tie details are carefully thought out and carried into effect the joy of the week end trip is greatly enhanced, for it is robbed of half it's trouble. The same advice may be followed in the case of the family party, business women or others, who find the day picnic a rest full change, to keep strong, neat box fitted with the little accessories. such as salt and pepper, knives, forks, spoons, paper napkins. etc., always ready. The sense that these little de-

 For the green and white kitchen green window curtains are attractive. The prettiest arrangement is to have rather deep shirred or box plaited valance at the top of the window and then the curtains themselves hanging in loose gathers at the sides. not quite touching the window sill. There are many pretty materials to be had in grass green or dark green which will

NAVY blue serge frocks for fall will ~ be as numerous as usual, 1t Is pre- dicted.. but a new touch to be reckoned with is yarn shocking, which may be done in colors of a contrasting hue.
 Fur buttons add a smart touch to the corduroy topcoat. Collars and cuffs of the same skin can be added as the sea- son grows colder. All the shades of purple from mauve to the deep, rich shade which is almost black in its velyetiness will be de rigueur.
 The double belt will be considered smart for the serge fall frock. Chif- ion. georgette crape and silk are used to combine with velvet for smart win- ter models Models of this combina- ton are trimmed with fur, and the furs selected are skunk, fitch, mink and fox ..
 Most sleeves will be long and snugly fitted. but many novelties will be seen. These will be loose to the elbow, from where they will fit tightly. Others will be quite the other way around, being loose from the elbow down. Designs done with beads by hand are feature of the smart semitailored frock. In color to match the material of the frock are these tiny beads or of con- trasting color, but always of deep tone never garish.

FoRMALITYs LONG SLEEVES.

IINHE formal gown with three quarter
 length sleeves has a sadly passe look this autumn, and even the wo- man who declared she would never submit to the discomfort of long sleeves has now adopted them, so uni- versal is their vogue. A last season gown that is good style, all but the sleeves, may be refurbished by cutting out the armholes of the bodice and f1n- ishing them off with braid or cording, Long sleeves of lace and net attached to an invisible pet yoke can then be slipped In and tucked in place.

 Any little extra trouble of prepara- tion necessary, moreover. or any slight extra expense involved will be more than offset by the gain in physical re- freshment and real efficiency, and prob ably the decrease in the expense of a physicians service through the winter months.
