of the divers being subjected to two pressures viz, the pressure of the air inside the helmet and suit and the external pressure of the water, con tinues as follows.
 .-The necessity of having the air pressure within the diving dress com pensate the external water pressure thus subjecting the diver to pressure directly proportioned to the depth to which he descends. is the dangerous element in deep-sea diving. At depth, for instance, of 100 feet, a di- yer must be subjected to g pressure of 4 atmospheres, or 50 pounds per square inch, in order to compensate the external water pressure Expo- sure to such pressure is apt to be fol- lowed by dangerous physiological eff fects, commonly known as 'scaison disease" the symptoms which. in clude pains in the muscles and joints commonly called bends deafness, embarrassed breathing, vomiting fainting, etc, sometimes resulting in death They do not appear while the pressure is being raised nor so long as it is continued, but only after it has been removed; and the view now ac- cepted is that they are due to the rap i'd enerveScence of the gases which are absorbed in the body fluids during exposure to pressure Experiment haS proved that when the pressure is suddenly relieved the gas io liberated in bubbles within the body, and that these do the harm Set free in the spinal cord, for instance, they may cause partial paralysis, or in the heart lead to, stoppage of circulation. It has been found, however, that if the pressure is relieved gradually the bub- bles are not formed, because the gas comes out of solution slowly and is got rid of by the heart and lungs. To prevent these effects, the with drawaI of the air pressure"in other words, the decompression-sh be slow Hence the divers ascent must be regu- lated accordingly, and the deeper he has been the slower and longer must be the periods for decompression.

around packages coming to us from wh holesa1e houses, and used it again in doing up our own bundles for GUS toners. We practiced the economy 50 we'll set forth in Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard and I believe that any young man can duplicate our success today. But he must needs have con centration, he must work hard, he must watch the smallest details. The large defects show quickly enough. It is the small ones in business that need watching. And if success is made in a small thing, the chances of success in larger undertaking are vastly in- creased. Many of our original cus- toners of twenty-eight years ago are still customers of the firm. They come into the stores and if I or my brothers are about, they never fail to greet us and. congratulate us upon our only our success, but their success, for, as a firm, we owe the largest part of whatever we have accomplished to the loyal support of the buying pub- Hc
 we used to keep our little store open until and 10 o'clock at night used to dress the windows at night myself. We had a little gas stove back of then store, on which we would boil coffee and send around the cor ner to the bakeshop for some little things to eat. While this was done for economical reasons, it was also necessary. because every moment of our time was required in the store. We gave the public what it demanded. We treated our customers as friends who's good will is more to be desired than profits, a confidence we are proud to boast we have never violated.
 And so our business grew. We made money selling on a legitimate profit basis. There was a mans fur nishing store at this time on Sixth avenue, struggling along. We bought it out, and on Saturday, March Is, 1890, we opened the store on Sixth avenue. We added hats, shoes and mems and chi1drens clothing to our stock of furnishings, applying the same principles of economy and per severance that helped us in our first store. We were able successively to open our Broadway store, which by the way, is located on the very spot of ground No. 279 Broadway, just above Chambers street, where A. T. Stewart first kept shop. And then, on Saturday, July 31, 1897. we opened our Harlem store at One Hundred and .Twenty-fifth street, corner of Third avenue.
 Our store on Sixth avenue became too small and old-fashioned for our rapidly growing business, and on Sat-. urday, April 18th, 1905 we moved it to Union Square South, in larger and handsomer quarters and a better To- cation.
 On Saturday. October i1,1s1o, we opened our largest, handsomest andA most modern store on Broadway, at1 F'orty-ninth street, at that time con- sidered a fwilderne ess.'

MILITIA EASY FOR RAILROADS

The railroads of the country say they are ready for the greatest pre- paredness test-moving of the militia. of the country to the Mexican border
 Railroad officials east and west unite in declaring that as fast as the administration orders state troops moved they will be ready to transport them. The way is cleared for the movement of troop trains, and engines and cars sufficient to handle the thousands of men are said to be avail able.
 The problem of transporting sup plies may be more complicated. The eastern roads are just emerging from serious freight congestion, but the managers believe sufficient cars will be available to handle the additional busfress.
 Western railroads, facing the1r greatest test for efficiency, can~ move the 8o,oOO to 100000 militia summon ed to the Mexican border without al fecting regular passenger traffic This was the statement of railroad officials who schedule the operation Of most of the troop trains.

 Our invasion of Brooklyn proved so successful that we soon sought new fields to conquer, and this past Feb ruary, another old wish of ours was brought to realization when on Satur- day, February 19s we opened the eight Brill store, in Newark, N. J.,Ion Broad street at Market, Newark's bus jest corner. In fact, the second busiest corner in America.
 And now like the tribes of India, our face is set toward the East. A new sun is rising, we believe, a sun prosperity on and the thousands of new Brill customers that we hope to make in Bridgeport and through out the East.
 Our new store in Bridgeport will be opened Saturday, July 1. It will be the ninth Brill store and the fourth store to be opened within one year. Surely a record.
 t'You will note that all of our stores have been opened on Saturday. We always like to get off to a good start helps our start considerably, as a rule.

THE U. s. ARMY HAT
Where It came From and Why It Is Peaked-Europeans Shun Its
 Lack of Smartness

The why and wherefore of the cam paign hat, also known as the service hat, with which the United States army, Boy Scouts and other military organizations are equipped, is de- ma nded by David Gardner, in a letter published in the Herald of yesterday Mr., Gardiner holds that the hat is hideous- the very antithesis of smart ness" he dubs it. In so far as it's aspect is concerned. MT. Gardiner has some reason to make mplaint but army officers said yesterday, as it's name implies the service hat is not Tor parade use, but for hard service and it has stood the test of many years campaigning in the army.
 The hat under many forms has ex- isted since the time of the Mexican war and is related to the sombreros of Mexico and of the plains. It has been kept in service for the reason that, after trying. all forms of head dress, it has been shown conc1usiveIy that felt hat with stiff brim gives the maximum of protection from sun, wind and rain, with a minimum of weight.
 Although adopted in recent years by the British colonial troops, the cam paign hat is of purely American ori- gin It came iQto use in the British service during the Boer war, when the colonial troops-Canadian and Australians--took it over, and when. Gen. Sir Baden Powell developed the Boy Scouts in England 8 short time later, it became their official head gear. Hence its present use by the Boy Scouts all over the world
 The unmilitary-if to be military means simply smartness- s-appearance of the campaign hat prevented it's adoption in European armies, al- though it was tried out in the French service 20, years ago. It has therefore become characteristic of the Ameri- can soldier in the field. The slouch- hated, b1ue-shirted troopers of the Indian wars became4the sIouch-hatted. khaki clad troopers of the Spanish American War. and later when the present olive drab uniforms were is- sued the slouch hat was retained. Ev- cry change of uniform or equipment in the army is authorized only after mature deliberation and trial bv boards of officers. so that the reten- tion of the campaign hat is full guar. antee of it's. value.
 The present form with the peaked CT own, came into effect in 1912 when a new issue of hats, of heavier grade felt, was adopted. Great Britain's CO., lonia1s. after using the sIouch hat in rainy, tropical countries, found that the center crease acted to hold water so that they changed it to a peak Under this peaked form Gen. Sir Ba- den-Rowen adopted it for the Boy Scouts. Long before this the Mexicans and plainsmen had found out the same thing, in 1912, despite the rather unmilitary form, the present Montana peak form of hat was is- sued in the army.
 The change from the s1ouch, or cen- ter crease, to the peak brought forth many objections from the army It was probably one of the most unpopu- lar changes in uniform regulations ever made, for the slouch hat was typical of U. s. A. and nothing else. However. it was soon proven that the other shape was much more service able.
 sothere is the campaign hat, MT. Gardiner.
