JUST WHAT CREATES ECHO
Under Proper Conditions Any Kind Of
a Sound Wave viii Be Effec-
lively Reproduced.

An echo is caused when the waves
of air which you create when you
shout are thrown back again when
they are stopped by something they en-
counter and are turned back without
changing their shape. Any kind of
sound wave will make an echo in this
way.
You see, you can have no sound Of
any kind without sound waves. You
could not make a sound if there were
no air. Now, when you shout, you
start a series of sound waves that go
out from you in every direction and
they spread away from you in circles
just like the rings or ripple that are
caused when you drop q stone into
pool of water. You can prove this to
yourself easily by having one, two,
three or more of your friends stand
around you in large circle. You can
place them as far away from you as
your shout can be heard if you wish.
When you shout, each of your friends
will hear the shout at the same time,
provided of course, they are at equal
distance from you.
Sometimes these sound waves as
they go away from you In circles strike
objects that turn the waves back I'M
broken just as they came to them. The
waves will bounce back just like a rub
Der ball from wall against which it
has been thrown and this Is the echo.
However, some things that the sound
waves strike break up these waves en-
tirely and others partially.
No doubt you have sometimes no.
ticed when you shout you hear dis
tinct echo and that at other times,
standing in the same place, you cam
not hear any echo, although you shout
in the same way. This is explained
by the fact that at times conditions of
the air are such that no echo is pro-
duced while at other times a perfect
echo results.-Book of Wonders.

flowers made Of fur. Since SO many
hats are made of velvet the ingenuity
of trimmers Is exercised to place the
covering on the shape in variety Of
ways, as may be gathered from the
group of chic velvet hats pictured here
The combination of two colors in one
or two fabrics, as midnight blue and
wine-colored velvet, or black velvet
with beige velour, in the body Of
shapes, Is a feature worth noting In
new millinery. 1t appears in the
smartest patterns.
Soft, draped crowns and bulky
crowns have already impressed them
selves on the styles for winter. Among
the latter the bag" crown is a Paris
importation, made like the paper bags
used In France, and inverted on vari-
Gus brims. The bulky crown looks
best on women with round, plump
faces. One of them is shown In the
hat at the left Of the group. The
draped crown, which may be pinned at
any angle becoming to the wearer, APP

at the right attests to the survival Of
the fittest with the round crown and

Through the newspapers we learn
that the Navy league is asking for
sewing kits for the marines now in
training for service in France. The
league calls for $500 of these sewing
kits and they are inexpensive and
easy to make; so here Is an answer to
the question at the beginning of this
article.
The marines call a sewing kit a
"hussiff," which is the marines way Of
saying housewife" And before we
get through making sewing kits we
are likely to find "hussiff' has been
added to the English language and to
have to look in the dictionary for Its
derivation.
The "hussiff" Is made Of cotton
khaki and sewed with red thread 1t
Is ID inches long and 71s inches wide
and has five pockets 31a inches deep
by 2H inches wide. A top flap folds
over the pockets. A red tape, sewed

ut is a velvet season" sly the mil
liners, and the displays of new MILL
merry for fall leave no room In the
mind for doubling this assertion. Plain
and panne velvet dominate all the
showings. Hatter's plush, with sur
face much like panne velvet, is rep
resented, and heavy velours and duve-
tyn-both velvety in appearar re-are
in the running. In plain velvet and in
velours and duvetyn the quiet, rich
colors approved by fashionables are
1T their best. Panne velvet and hat
ter's plush both look best in black and
white and in the darkest shades Of
sedate colors, to which they add bril-
lance.
Trimmings are very simple and not
Of the shapes in any way. Fancy fea-
lures, including ostrich, ribbons and
ornaments, are relied upon for deco
rative features. Small ostrich tips,
used In groups, are returning after an
exile of several seasons, along with
draped turbans of velvet, and they
look so well together that there is a
sort of kinship between them. 1t is
hard to think of velvet without being
reminded of ostrich. Wide-brimmed
hats with a fringe Of ostrich laid upon
the upper brims have already made an
assured success.

There is a saying that in these days
of war prices. only the millionaire's
wife can afford to use real linen in her
dining room. A great many women
are substituting handpaintel oilcloth
for the accustomed lace and linen
luncheon sets, says the Philadelphia

Stunning sets In black enameled oil

with punches of brilliantly col

medium and small sizes. An or

painted black and decorated with the
same design makes unique bread or
sandwich plate, and a papier mache
bowl stained black and decorated with
the fruit motif on the outside, filled
with luscious grapes and oranges, is
the most stunning kind of center
piece.

The Red Cross is issuing calls for
ration heaters. They are made Of
newspapers folded and pasted into
tight rolls of certain size, then cut
and boiled in paraflin. They serve
to heat the food and drink Of the sol
diers and should be placed In the COM
fort bags made for the men In service.
Many thousands Of them will be need
ed and they are so simple that chill
dren can make them.
Directions for making these heaters
can be obtained from Miss Cook at
the Chicago chapter headquarters OF
the Red Cross.

Natural storage Is the simplest and
least expensive method of keeping veg
etables for fall and winter consump-
ton. Wherever practicable, this meth
cd should be made use of, especially
this season when the conservation of
food and the keeping down of food ex-
penses is peculiarly important. Own
ers of home gardens are, In general,
best situated for storing vegetables
since they probably have surpluses of
vegetables in the fall. 1t often is pos
sible, however, for other householders
to buy vegetables cheaply enough in
the fall to justify the preparation and
stocking of storage places.
Storage Is especially successful with
the root tuber, and bulb crops such as
carrots, potatoes, onions, etc. Cab
bage, celery, pumpkins also winter
squash, mature beans and peas, and
number Of other vegetables also may
be stored.
The successful storage of vegetables
Is not at all difficult; in fact, good
storage facilities already exist in most
homes, 1t being only necessary to make
use Of the cellar, the attic, a large
closet, or other parts of the dwelling,
depending upon the character Of the
product to be stored.
Storage Room In the Basement Of the
Dwelling.
A cool, wellventilated cellar under
the dwelling offers good conditions for
the storage of vegetables. Many eel
lars are not well suited for storing veg
etables because of poor insulation OF
| lack of ventilation. Cellars contain

In the semiarid sections poisoned

An important piece Of fall work Is to
destroy dried, wild bunch grasses and

quarters for the chinch bugs.

the storage of root crops. 1t is often
possible, however, to partition off a
room either in one corner or at one
ture may be controlled by means of
outside windows. AT least one win
dow Is necessary, and two or more are
desirable for admitting light and for
ventilation. If the cellar is square
or rectangular, a room similar to the
one illustrated in figure l can be ar
ranged If, as is often the case, how
ever, the cellar is built in the shape
of an ell, the room should be made
by partitioIing off The offset, as shown
in figure 2. In some cases it is pos
sible to cut off one end of the cellar
with one straight wall.
Construction Of the Storage Room.
The size of the storage room should
be determined by the space available
and the amount of material to be
stored. Natural earth makes a better
floor than concrete or brick, as GER
tain amount of moisture is desirable.
The walls Of the storage room should be
2-by-4-inch scantling fiat on the floor
and secure them with pegs driven in
to the floor or by mailing them to the
top of short posts set in the ground.
Set 2-by-4-inch studding from this
sill to the ceiling, spacing them 16
inches apart from center to center.
Locate the door to the storage room
at the most convenient point, making
it large enough to admit barrels,
boxes, ETC., 211z feet wide by 61a feet
high being a good size. Set the studs
on either side of the door 80 inches
apart, which will allow for the door
and the frame. Put header over the
door, allowing 1 inch for the frame
and n - an inch for the sill at the
bottom. Set the studs against the
walls where the cellar walls and stor-
