Dust Clouds Betray Fighters.

In locating an enemy dust clouds
are often excellent indications. a low,
thick cloud indicates infantry, high
and thin cloud indicates cavalry, while
Il broken cloud indicates artillery or
wagon trains. An experienced scout
can closely estimate the character ana
strength of an enemy solely by the
dust cloud.
An airplane, to be perfectly safe
must keep at an elevation of at least
1000 feet above the ground.
Although the telegraph and tele-
phone have become generally used in
battle for purposes of communication,
for distances under half a mile the
Old-fashiOned courier and horse Is still
exclusively used. 1t has been found
a swifter and surer means of com
municatiOn for short distances than
either the telephone o. the telegraph.

For Country Club and Sports Wear

The Country Club" hat has arrived
In the ranks of the sports hat with
a title that impelS respect and merits
Athat deserve 1t. All quarters Of the
lobe have been ranSacked To provide
Ithis arStOCrat in millinery for women
who are devoted to outdoor life and
there are wonderful weaveS in straw
hats from China, Japan. India, the
Hawaiian islands, South America, and
our own land. The shapes are much
like those of sports hats which were
launched for spring of which three are
pictured in the group above.
The Country Club" hat IS most SIM
ply trimmed with a band and bow
Of narrow ribbon, often like it In color.
There Is nothing tame about it In spite
of this simplicity, for 1t has the cour-
age of color and comes in all the more
or less vivid shades which hats for
sports wear have made the vogue. Be
sides white, there are emerald. gold,
purple, rose, turquoise, apple green,
chartreuse and navy in the gay process
sion. and two-tOncd hatS-in certain
wcaves with underbrimS in contrasting
cOlOrs.
These last shapes for country and
sp1rts wear represent the utmost in eff
fort of expert block makers. They are
intended to meet the demands of wom-
en- of critical and educated taste and
must fit comfortably TO begin with.
Without being unusual in shape they
must embody beautiful lines and so
much style that they place themselves
