Joseph Salvador, the French histo-
rian, and Jules Sandeau, novelist.
made their meeting at public recep-
tion the occasion for dispute as to the
respective places which they occupied
in the world OF letters.
'The reading of history Ia Like pill
lit needs the sugar coating to make It
palatable,' argued the novelist.
"Ah. but 1t Is the ingredient which
cures. not the coating" remarked the
historian.
"Then let Gs divide the honors" said
Sandeau, for II II were not Tor my

Paints which dry with high luster
or gloss are called enamels These are
made from zinc oxide ground in var

resins such as copal, kauri, etc. These

trees, have been deposited for centuries
in the earth. They are mined in Africa

It is the road called Kindness. One

 In addition there. are the smaller schools for the U. s. Shipping board. of the ". I. T., Henry Howard, that schools to supply the needed officers for the coming merchant marine would be necessary, aid the task of looking out for them was promptly assigned to him. He in turn, went to his old professors and Dean A. E. Burton agreed to organize the school for deck officers, and Prof. E. F. Miller, head of the department of Mechanical En- gineering, is looking after those for engine room officers. x
 Professor Burton has started some thirty schools in the different parts of the countrys for making deck officers out of good experienced saiIor-man n material. and two of these schools are now under way at Tech. When these men graduate there will have been four such schools of about thirty five men each sent out from Cambridge. and a goodly number of the graduates are already daring the German subma- rines in strans-At1antc trade. The schools for marine engineers demand the equipment of a mechanical labora- tory, and Professor Miller has, there fore, established only eight such schools. The second SC. in the Boston school is now ready to graduate in to responsible positions, and the mum. Der that can be cared for in one school is about thirty five.
 Taken by and large the institute will open with somewhere about eight hundred students in addition to the regular registration. This it Is eX- pected will be somewhat smaller than usual, although the freshman entries will be large and the sophomores will return ir about the usual numbers. There has been such a demand for. men technically trained that a goodly nyfr rf he af ha oIo es have gorfe into military or allied industrial work. and there will be no losses here. The regular resistra- tion is about two thousand.

 The companies also request that freight service and motor trucks be used for the shorter haul traffic in and around the congested districts and that only such shipments for nearby points as actually demand express service be offered to the express com panies, so that the traffic requiring expedited service to | and from ths more distant points may be cared for.
 It is only by the closest cooperation between express shippers and the carriers, and mutual consideration Of the difficulties confronting each other. that the restraints which may have to be enforced upon the customary use of the usual channels of transportation can be mifliniZed.

 The student who registers at the Massa chusetts Institute of Technol- ogy this year finds unusual condi- tions. in that there are seven or eight hundred men already at work I6 the class rooms and laboratories. The lines of technical education at Tech have been found to be so closely align ed to the serious work of war that the U. s. government in four of it's branches. has taken advantage of the equipment and buildings of the instt- tute for studies necessary to aggres- sive warfare. -

 A second school is the ground school for Naval Aeronauts, which is likely to be continued and increased.

Rsfine6sNew Design For Women Who
 Affect Rich. Plain Headwear-SoI-t dior Blue . Favorite Hue-Odd Con- trasts.

At every social affair these Septem- Der days smart millinery is & feature, Of fashionable hats is felt. To delay the select9h of new headgear much longer, no matter what the tempera- ture conditions, is out of the ques- tion.
 With the many needs of the well dressed woman in mind, the milliners are sending out of the workrooms some especially enticing models this week.
 One seen yesterday was a shepherd with brin of black velvet and for trimming a novelty ornament.
 For those women who prefer some thing more staid and severe there are many of the gay designs of early Fall, there has been provided the ma, tron toque in draped taupe velvet, with one smart ornament in oxidyzed effect, the sof. colors being blue and 1esh tints.
 ! Well liked this year is the new sol dier blue shade, developed in a beau tifu1 velvet hat in tricorne effect, hay ing a rich jet ornament at the front.
 Nearby, & plum velvet turban had sand ribbon folded band, and chic ostrich aigret.
 Dressy was a cerise large flat sail or, with purple velvet facing, for these two shades in combination or con- trast are greatly liked this season. A purple and cerise fancy was flat on the brim a. the front.
 Naturally, black holds its own in smart millinery, and nothing could be more elegant than was. a large black velvet shape with sand facing. and for trimming ostrich feather flowers in sand and rose hues.
 Stril<ingly effective was Pierrot tam in black panne satin, an Ameri- can Beauty rose and rich foliage at the side.
 At no time of the season will there be found a greater variety of smart ly trimmed and modfsh hats than at present.
