really blue-black and the combination
is the most reserved and elegant thing
in mortal eyes.
The big black hat knows nothing Of!
warning favor, either for summer or
winter. One of the pretty and simple
summer models is shown in the pic
ture. It is of black satin with wide
border of fancy hairbraid about the
edge which is bound with satin. A
long sweep of slender feathers and a
little emplacement of ribbon make
trimming exactly suited to the shape.
A large and picturesque hat is Of
white georgette crepe with a border
about the brim and crown of narrow
milan braid. White satin camelliaS
and little white roses are wreathed
about the crown, with the small roses
clustered in the top crown.
The chic small hat of white crepe
georgette, faced with black velvet and
finished with border of white feath-
ers about the outstanding brim is as
cool and crisp as frost. 1t is late
summer hat of the kind that may be
worn at almost any time and any
where.
For sports and outings, rough straw
sailors in bright and vivid colors are
candidates for favor that are sure to
win. Along with them appear soft, ex-

The vogue of summer furS appears
to be established and the globe-trot-
ting public is probably responsible for
it. The whereabouts Of those who
finally make fashions appear to be de-
termined by the variations of the
thermometer and these fleet and fleet
ing seekers after comfort and change,
carry their furs with them to the four
corners of the globe. While we are
looking for reasons for wearing furs
in summer weather we are not to over
look the fact that they are amazingly
becoming.
But furriers have seen to it that fur
garments for summer wear look very.
different from fur garments for win
ter wear. Summer furs borrow a sum-
merry look from crepe and silk liberal
ly used in combination with them.
They do not take the business Of pro-
viding warmth at all seriously, but are
made up usually in small, loose-hang-
ing capes, worn as if slipping off the
shoulders. Scraps of white fox fur
nish one instance Of a fur piece good
for both summer and winter wear and
scarfs in dark gray or taupe, appear
among summer furs that will be use
full in winter.

Cleveland, O.-They're breaking

In the United States and the other
countries are too busy warning to
make pottery. Every man, woman and
child in this country breaks on the av-

Over 7O0,OOOO00 dishes a year are
broken by irate married folk and 9TH

others who drop them on purpose to
keep from washing them.

TACKLE GREAT PROBLEMS OF WAR

the scheme Of transportation the mo-
bilization Of military and industrial
resources; the increase Of agriculture
and manufacture to meet the abnor-
NAL demands incident to war; the
building Of ships, and the compilation
Of an enormous mass Of data from
which any reasonable question with
reference to military and industrial ca
pacity could be answered.
Railroads and Telephones.
Already the 100000 miles of rail
road In the United States have been
virtually Communicated by the advi-
sorry committee, which, through Chair
man Willard, can issue to them more
arbitrary orders than President VII
son, under the most drastic law, prob
ably would care to issue. This Is
voluntary service Of the railroad and
admittedly possibly is intended as an
answer to some Of the railroad crih-
cisms in congress.
One man also now governs the tele-
phone-Theodore N. Vail, president OF
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company. For the first time in
telephone history regulars and indie
pendents are working side by side for
the good Of the country. More than
10000 miles Of wire have been set
aside for the special use Of the army
and the navy and some Of the other
departments. Modern methods for
using the telephone are being intro
duced and new systems installed, one
Of which will cover completely the
signal service in the field. Washing
ton is being taught how to use the
telephone properly and new central
Office with a capacity Of 10000 lines
is being provided.
In the mobilization camps and
among the lighthouses and coast guard
stations new telephone facilities are
being created, requiring 300 miles OF
submarine cable, 300 miles Of pole
and more than $4,000 miles Of wire.
The soldiers of the National Guard
who are guarding railroad bridges
and water supply systems have been
put in touch with headquarters. Ii
secrets could be told, the story OF the
extension Of the telephone service in
the navy would make the people sit
up.

Big MEN GIVING SERVICES
co-ordlnatlng the Industries OF the
/ Country SO That Each Can Rem
der the Limit Of Its Potential
Service to Government.
BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.

ENTHUSIASTICALLY a thousand
times a day this question is asked by
visitors to Washington: "What Is the
Council Of National Defense?'
1t is apparent also from letters that
are received in the capital that the
exact nature Of the council and Of its
great advisory committee Is not gen.
orally nor thoroughly understood. The
Council Of National Defense itself con.
sists simply of six cabinet officers, the
secretaries of war, navy, interior, agri.
culture, commerce and labor. The adj
yisory committee Of national defense.
which is affiliated with the council,
consists Of a commission Of seven bust
ness men who, with the departments
assigned to them, are as follows:
Daniel Willard, transportation and
communication president Baltimore
& Ohio railroad), chairman.
Howard e. Coffin, munitions and
manufacturing (including Standard
Zation) and industrial relations, vice
president Hudson Motor company.
julius Rosenwald, supplies (includ-
Ing clothing, etc.), president Sears,
Roebuck & Co.
Bernard M. Baruch, raw materials,
minerals and metals, banker.
DR.. Hollis Godfrey, engineering and
education, president Drexel institute.
Samuel Gompers, labor, including
conservation Of health and welfare of
workers, president American Fedora
ton Of Labor.
DIR. Franklin Martin, medicine and
surgery, including general sanitation.
secretary General American College of
Surgeons, Chicago.
All Freely Undertaken.
Upon these men devolved the task
Of so co-Ordinating the industries of
the country that each and all, f1gura-
lively speaking, could render to the
government the limit of it's potential
service at the pressing of a button.
Less than 100 salaried persons are
working for the government under the
advisory committee of national de-
fense-of the members of the COM
mittee itself only one or two have
even rendered expense bills. From
400 to 500 men, whose incomes from
their business ranges from $1,000 to
more than 100000 a year, are giving
their services to the government that
the United States may perform it's
share Of winning the war against Ger
many.
The vital thing at first was to as
certain the needs of the country, to
learn the things industry must supply
to put our soldiers into the field and
keep them there and to supply the
needs Of ourselves and our allies. A
dozen major subjects instantly sug-
gested themselves when the business
men began to put their heads togeth-
er: the best use to be made Of the
railroads, both for the transportation
of troops and Of material to keep our
industries going and our citizens fed ;
the part the waterways should play in
