STOP HABIT OF TRESPASSING
Natural Outcome Of Guarding Tracks
and Bridges by Armed Forces
Of United States.

The Railway Gazette predicts that a
side issue of war conditions will be Il
decrease Of the habit of t~reSpassing on
railroad property. This will be a nat
ural outcome of the guarding of tracks
and bridges by the armed forces of the
United States for the purpose of pre-
venting wilful interference with trans
portation. There has always been great
danger to t~respassers on railway prop
erty. In the months of July, August
and September, 1916. the number OF
persons killed in accidents resulting
from the operation of trains in the
United States was Psi, and of these
1,512, or 54.4 per cent were trespassers.
The number of t~respassers killed was
three times as large as the number OF
railroad employees who lost their lives
in the same way. Yet trespassing per-
sisted. It is highly probable, however,
that the risk of danger from shooting
will deter many from ~trespassing who
were cblivious to the risk Of danger
from trains.

YOUNG GIRLS WEAR BONNETS
New Model Reaches Well Down Over
the Ears in a Way That Is Made
Possible by Couture.

There were cpochs when the older
women made the advances in style,
but today the young oma is the

her that the experts are looking for
the success Of many Of the new bits
Of headgear that are being shown in
the shops and offered to exclusive pa
irons.
A new hat worn at a restaurant by
a young woman drew the attention OF
the public to IL the moment she ap-
peared. 1t Is a bonnet of black satin,
reaching we'll down over the ears In a
way that is made possible by the pres
ent couture, which permits the hair to
cover the temples and the upper part
of the ears.
This bonuet Is soft and pliable, and
the block setin Is trimmed with q gold
cord and an ornament made Of gros-
grain ribbon, which holds in place the
two ostrich quilts.

most prominent buildings in Stanley
are the governors quarters, the bar.
racks, which shelter a small English
garrison, a cathedral, a new school
building, Il number of warehouses, q

Not Much to See in Stanley.
A short time is sufficient to see all
that Stanley has to offer. A visit to
tile stores, as in other lands. reveals
to some extent the needs and occupa-
tons of the people; and this fact Is
especially emphasized in the town of
Stanley. The articles offered for sale
are of the most substantial kind. such
as coarse clothing, heavy boots, tin
and ~earthenWare, ships stores, medi.
cal supplies, and in fnct everything
required in a sheep-raising commu.
tlty where the Winters are iOHS anu
severe and the summers short and
cool.
The average temperature of the
islands is Al degrees Fahrenheit. The
cool and constant winds from the
southwest send a chill through the
stranger and urge him to physical
ercise. In fact, the very isolation of
ones surroundings kindles the wan
derlust and If he is at all inclined to
Professionalism here is an excellent
place to crafty his inclination.
An overland tramp is most pleasant
and inYigorating. The country rises
gradually from the little bay, and
after one walks q few miles he looks
back upon one Of the worlds most
isolated towns. Proceeding, the wan
derer is impressed with the awful
loneliness. Few people are seen and
not a tree breaks the horizon, save

HOW ONE MAY GROW PLUMP
Plenty Of Eggs and Butter, Drink Milk,
Go to Bed Early, and Don't
Worry, Is Advice.

If you would grow plump, eat lots Of
eggs, drink milk and put butter on
everything which you can. Don't be
afraid Of a little meat now and then ;
eat cereals with cream and food made
from milk, eggs and butter. Go to
bed early and get full eight or nine
hours sleep every night, and, above
oil, don't worry.
To fatten the face. whenever the op-
pcrtunity offers, try blowing out the
cheeks, as you sometimes see little
children do, holding them in this po-
sition for the space of a minute or so.
Do this night and morning and sew
eral times during the day.
To make the cheeks plump, the fol-
lowing is another good way: Rub a
good skin food in with the following
movement: To treat the right cheek,
place the thumb of the left hand just
beyond the corne of the mouth of
the left cheek as a brace. Make rotary
movements upward and outward, be-
ginning at the corner of the mouth
and making three diverging lines Of
manipulation over the cheek. Then
with the right hand treat the left
cheek. In three months your face will
show q decided Improvement.

TAR out in southern seas, 4 thou
- sand miles from Montevideo and
several hundred miles eastward
from the "land of fire." TERRA
del Fuego, lie the lonely, dreary,
barren Falkland islands. Ceaseless
surges from Antarctic wastes dash
upon the rocky headlands to the dis
turbance of only the wild and stately
penguin; the mighty roar of the
breakers wasting their beauty. far
from the haunts of artist or photog-
rapher, is lost in the dismal fog.
A land far away from the busy
world; a land without a tree, without
outer world, with few land birds, be-
yond the ourse of the average steam
er; indeed, a land without sunshine,
it might be said, for the sky is usually
overcast, producing annually $50 days
of cloudy or rainy weather.
Despite weather conditions, how
ever. the Falklands present interest

periences not met with elsewhere,

Almost exactly 100 years after CO.

islands and gave them their name.
From that time onward they have
been the scene Of conflict and disputed

"Stone Rivers" Of Quartzite.
Farther inland we catch our first
glimpses of what appear to be glisten-
ing streams, but on closer inspection

bling crude diamonds in shape, lies
in long rows. to which the natives
have given the name of "stone river"
Scientists say that these so-called ''riv-
ers' are a kind of glacier and that
they are slowly moving toward the
sea.
What becomes of your students
after they leave school?" l inquired
of the. English master Of the only
place of learning in the islands. "Al-
most without exception" he replied,
''they 60 out to become herders Of

boys to do outside Of this one calling.

the master pointed out from among
his brightest pupils one little fellow
perhaps fifteen years Of age. 'That
boy" said he, has completed the
work of the school, but he is SO am
bilious that for two additional years
he has been going Over the same

specific orders of the state commits
sions.
So arose the situation as it is today.
Every important city in the United
States is served by from three to ten
times as many trains as are similar
centers of population in other parts
of the world.
The traveller between New York and
Chicago has at present the choice of
36 different trains-16 on the New
York Central, ten on the Pennsylvania,
-four on the Lackawanna, four on the
Baltimore and Ohio and two On the
Erie. Should business or pleasure take
him from New York to Philadelphia
he is confronted with Il selection of A.
trains on the Pennsylvania, II on the
New Jersey Central and eight on the
Baltimore and Ohio-G7 in all. Even
distant points like Jacksonville or New
Orleans are the objectives Of half a
dozen trains every % hours.
Europe Is Wiser.
In Europe in normal times the serv-
ICE OlIeIed DtlWeeu tue iliIoFltHl cities
seems niggardly in the extreme by
comparison. London, Manchester and
Liverpool, the three greatest CONNER
cial cities of Great Britain, all lie
within a radius OF 200 miles and are
connected by half a dozen different
lines, but the train service between
them, though expeditions and conven
lent, is equaled by the facilities en-
joyed by a score OF more Of the lesser
cities of the United States.
IN the continent the contract is ever
CRATER. Between London and Paris,
scarcely 200 miles apart, there ran
dsily before the war only half Il dozen
through trains, a day and a night train
ol each of three routes. Between
Paris and Berlin, q distance Of $50
oliles, travelling is q tritle difficult ut
present, but prior to August, 1914, an
American who undertook the journey
was generally astoniShed to learn that
there We're only two or three trains
(which made the journey without
change, and hat only one of those car

continental capitals the same condi-
tons prevailed.

their claim to the Spaniards, who drove
away the English in ITO. Later the
islands We're abandoned Buenos Aires
founded a colony in 1923. but in con-
sequence Of Il dispute the colony was
destroyed by a United States man-of-
war GS3l). Shortly afterward the
British again gained possession. which
continues to the present time, although
it Is said that Argentina claims the
islands as her right and lawful pos
session.
Two Large Islands in the Group.
The Falkland group comprises two
large islands, known as East and West
Falkland, respectively, and more than
a hundred smaller ones, with a total
most as large as the state Of New
Jersey. East Falkland is the larger
of the two and they are separated by
a narrow strait.
When we sailed into Port Stanley.
the capital of the little colony and the
largest of the twenty or more settle
ments, the usual cloudy weather pre-
vailed ; several days of communicating
had been followed by caliner seas and
the entrance to the small bay, known
as Port William inlet, vas a pleasant
diversion. The low, brownish hills,
barren and soinber looking, presented
little to attract the business traveller !;
yet, to the lover of nature who de-
lights to wander far from beaten paths
there are always sights to please.
Comparatively few ships make the
port of Stanley other than the coming
of vessels in distress there is not much
traffic with the outside world, and as
a consequence the arrival of q pas
senger ship Is a matter Of some inter-
est to the people. The day Of our
both old and young came to meet us,
and 1t might be said that we received
a cordial reception. Once upon terra
firma the hardy appearance Of the in
habitants and the weather-beaten but
clean and neatly kept homes are es-
pecially noticeable. The thousand
persons composing Stanley's popula-
ton have not troubled themselves

she is happy and makes others happy,
says a writer in the Washington Star.
But the little early fall frock shown
In the sketch is quite smart enough to
justify itself. 1t emphasizes several
new style points. One is the leaning
to q slightly raised waistline evil
denced by the center front. Another
lines, evidenced by the panel effect
over the hips, with slight flare below,
effected by means of the gathered-fn
skirt fabric. A third style point is the
use Of fine rat tail braid, applied in a
conventional design, as the only trim
ming Of the frock. The dress may
be made of beige colored satin, with
girdle section Of navy blue velvet,
braided in beige or n other color
scheme. The bodice fastens in the
center front. This girdle is attached to
the skirt, which fastens in the back, SO
that no closing is actually visible. The
dress has the appearance of 4 slip-Over
model. which it obviously could not be.
The neck is finished with a soft rolling
collar Of white.
To make this dress five and a half
yards Of material SO inches wide will
be required FOR the frock proper, with
one yard contrasting fabric for girdle
and sleeve facings.
No extremes are noted either In
skirt width or length as yet. The
length is conservative, skirts reaching
to the ankle or a trifle higher, and two
and a quarter to three yards may be
recorded as the average skirt width.

LEATHER BELTS ARE POPULAR
Some to Be Worn With a Certain Sort
of Work or Sport Costume Are
Reminiscent Of Surcingie.

Leather belts are acquiring a new
lease of life, black patent leather In
various widths being used with many
of the modish Bingham and chambray
and other tub frockS, and wide soft
crush belts of leather and Of fabrics
being extremely modish. These wide
crush belts are made In both suede
and smooth finish leather and in many
colors, gray and beige and green and
white and old red having special popu-
larity.
The very narrow belt Of leather has
it's vogue, too, and when one turns
from all leather belts to belts and Cir
dies in which leather plays a secondary
part or none at all there is no end to
the variety.
A belt reminiscent Of the surcingle
in heavy canvas webbing trimmed
with tan leather is good with a certain
sort of work or sport costume, as is Il
very wide crush belt of heavy corded
silk bound narrowly and strapped in
soft leather. This last belt is particu-
larry good in white and gray and In
white and green.
Wide crush belts of duvetyn or We
lour delaine, leather trimmed, are a
novelty.

Women In u%p-to-date towns pay a
great deal Of attention to their up
pearance and to their clothes, and so
when they state their ages there is
rarely any raising Of eyebrows be-
than they say they are.
All Of which seems to Justify the
attention paid to clothes; for if a
woman looks younger than she is young
at heart, and If she is young at heart
