Railroad Stripes.

Nobody speaks of awning stripes
in railroad stripes, which are mar
rover and set In pairs like tracks.
Ombre stripes are also to be seen.
These are of unequal breadth, the
widest IN the middle, the stripes mar
rowing down to hairlines. This ar
rangement produces n shaded effect,
hence the name ombre.

Hair Wash.

An excellent hair wash is TO take
one ounce of borax and one ounce Of
powdered cnmphor and dissolve In IA
pint of boiling water, added to cold
water in bowl. The camphor will
form into Jumps, but n sufficient
amount will dissolve. This will
strengthen the hair and preserve the

quoted as saying ITO he'll with the
Stars and Stripes" as a sentiment of
his own, there n other portions Of
his reported speech at the Labor Fo.
rum meeting In the Washington Irv.
ing High School which he allows to

nient in his discussion Of patriotism.
Il have nothing to fight for"
MAUREg Is not the first of the mis-
representatives of the patriotism of
organized labor to express the opin-
ION, directly or by intimation, that
the flag covers nothing for which
labor should shed It's blood. II never
seems to occur tn the Maurers that
the flag protects them In an cxtraor-
binary freedom OF utterance.
Accordingly, when the Maurers stop
talking about patriotism long enough
to think about It, they must see that
after all the flag represents to them
something they could fight for.

THE CASE or THE SUSSEX.
Was the Attaching Submarine tn

To TIE EDITOR or THE srN-Str: Your
guess that II was . British or French

has,y. There are other probable tx
plantations, two Of which. at least. arc
more plausible. For. II We ret aside, as
unlikely, the rumor that II was q
Tibetan submarine. We must yet o n
slider the Bulgarian possibility.
That Bulgarian boat was built in Q
secluded nook OF the Etropol Balkan.
not far from Sofia Was thence rams
ported by wireless 10 Switzerland and
launched from the Grindelwald glacier
directly into the Rhine. II might easily
have escaped German notice by follow
ing this route. or course the Mil.
waukee origin Of this story throws ON
doubt on II.
Bu. the best solution Is that the
guilty boat was irish. DO we not know
that such a vessel was launched on the
Lakes Of Killarney on March II; that
Il proceeded ny II sv~oterranean river
route to Galway. thence to IT, Channel
destination?
Moreover. this boat VA manned by
desperate. chosen banshees. and its
power was derived from nothing less
than the finest inha mmable usquebaush.

mittee appointed by tho then Chairman
Mccall of the Public Service Commits
sion wss to adjust the differences be
tween the subway and abutting property
owners in Nassau and William streets.
Wa any agreement ratified:
Kiosks or coops should not take vi
the pavements and obstruct pedestrian
traffic. Many streets are not only mar
row streets but nothing moro than lanes,
and II seems to me, r. voter for over
nifty years, that the commission would
be justited In taking the Easements OF

public comfort.
Certainly II would be for the ultimate
benefit OF the property owners The
elevated roads should never have been al

they have, but to take by purchase parts
Of buildings for that purpose.

that l did not refund the sum OF Sie,ooo

Taking for granted that the evidence
OF my having refunded the money should
be found among his records and not

and not having found said documente
In his once. the Assistant Secretary OF

ordered the Ministry Of Finance TO In.

The shifting Of authority to the DIFF

I have the receipt Of the $4,000 that
I refunded on September I, 1918. This
document bears the number s7s. is
signed by the cashier Of the national
Treasury, and was detached from a

being connected here with the most hon
