Easter Hats for Little Girls.

Everyone is entitled to new hat
for Easter, even the littlest maid in
the family, and no one will wear her
new finery quite so joyously. She has
not been neglected by the milliners,
who must attend to the more serious
business of seeing to it that her elders
are properly hated, and it is not diff
cult to come to- decision in choosing
a hat for her. In shapes those that
resemble little, bonnets have all the
preference. Many of them have round
crowns and narrow brims and as many
more are bell-shaped, but, for the very
Ettle girl, there is no great variety in
shapes.
Of the two hats shown in the picture
the one at the top is designed for; a
child of three or more years and the
lower hat for the little miss of seven
at least. For the younger girl the
shape is covered with silk in a light
color as a foundation for the rows Of
fine lingerie laceSp}afhngs that cover
It. At each side near the back two flat
rosettes, made Of the plated lace, are
placed with the edge 6f 0ihe overlap
ping the other. A collar of grosgrain
ribbon is run through the center of the
rosettes and finished with bows at the
back and front.
This is one of the pretty little hats
ethat the home milliner can make with
out much risk of failure. The other is
a satin-covered shape, trimmed with
baby velvet ribbon in two colors. 1t is

American Armies to Use

chief of ordnance of the War De-
partment, in commenting on the
statement issued by the department
yesterday wherein it was revealed
that the government will have to
rely on France to equip part of the
American lighting force with field
guns.
General Crozier did not hesitate to
admit that the ordnance bureau had
been unable 10 keep up with the
heavy demand made upon it through
American troops going to France;
but he pointed out that France is in
position to turn out all the guns
and heavy artillery that the Ameri-
can fighting forces will need. America
will supply the steel and France the
guns.
IF it were simply a matter of sup
plying the men now there" said Cen
eral Crozier. that would be easy
enough. But we have to look to the
future. and We cannot possibly turn
out enough artillery to keep our
forces of the future adequately
equipped. We have not enough ar
tillery for our own men beyond this
winter.
France will be able to make all
we need in addition to what we can
send over ourselves. We have neg
lected our ordnance for fifteen years
and now are faced with the logical
result of our failure to keep up" :

Golf Notes
By Colonel Bogey

The program for the Professional
Golfers Association tournament for
the benefit of the Red Cross, which
will be held during the present week,
was received at the Reservoir Club
house. Events will take place at
Englewood. Baltusrol, Siwanoy and
Garden City. The events include
mixed foresomes, Ss-hole medal play,
the prize being gold. silver and
bronze medals for the lowest three
scores and also a special prize for
the lowest score in each round; also
matches played by Scotch, English,
American, ho.nebred and a team Sc
lected by Jerome Travers. The Pro-
fessional Golfers Association has al
ready furnished the American Red
Cross with an ambulance equipped
complete, and as a result of this
tournament a handsome sum should
be realized for war relief purposes.
The Liberty tournament matches
are about completed. but two matches
remaining to be played, one between
r. Murray and D. r. Myers. in the
beaten eight of the second sixteen
and w. Wade and w. s. Corcoran in
the final of the third sixteen. On
Saturday H. E. Zimmerman won from
c. Z. Zimmerman; w. Smith won
from A. A. Vert, and c. NJ. Kean won
from II. ]. Babb. All of these matches
were over thirty-six holes and some
fine scores were made.
The unaIifvina rounds for the Fred
B. Harry cup will be played from
July % to 2S inclusive. This cup is
competed for each year and goes to
the player with the lowest score
turned in. K. E. Richards won this
event last year.
The new course at the Harrisburg
Country Club is to be ready in a
short time and Mr.. Flynn, of the
Merton Cricket Club. together with
several local men, went over the
local course for the purpose of estab-
fishing a par. Mr.. Flynn said it was
an ideal course. as every hole is so
trapped and bunkered that it means
a pitch shot to land on the green.
This will be a little inconvenient un-
til the players get used to 1t. as on
the old course a running shot or
mashie could be used with good re-
suits.

for the past week were as follows:

Harrisburg Motive Power
Team Is Loser Saturday

Harrisburg's Motive Power team
in the Pennsy. League lost Saturdays
game to Meadows, score II to 2.
The locals lacked team work and
leadership. Miscues totaling nine
explain reasons for the railroaders
downfall.
Trenton defeated Philadelphia in
the most crucial game of the Motive
Power League season, 2 to l, regis
tering it's seventh straight victory.
The game resulted in an exciting
pitching duel between Rice and
Otto, the latter not issuing a pass
during the entire nine rounds. The
hitting of Parkinson and Deardolf
was an important factor in the VIC
tory of the champs, whose chances
for a third pennant in this organi-
zation now look very bright.
The only tally of the Quakers was
due to a wallop for a tour of the
bases by Bill Smith.
Baltimore shut-out Wilmington,
score to 0. Peck allowed the
Peaches" but two hits. The game
was fast and full of thrills.
