Patriotic Hat and Sunshade.

The sketch illustrates hat and para
sol expressing the patriotic influence.
The hat, high-crowned affair, is
made of rough white straw braid, the
front strapped with narrow ribbon and
topped with a severe feather motif.
The whole suggestion carried in this
hat is soldierly, and the very smart
little parasol has each separate panel
fiag-bedecked, while streamers of rib
bon carrying the national colors float
proudly from its topmost point.
The idea of decking parasols and
hats with the national colors cannot
be objected to, and If our country's
flag is to be given a place in the sar-
torial lineup the hat or parasol would
certainly seem to be the place for it,
says the Washington Star.
To trim parasol in flags would not
be difficult for the deft-fngered wom-
an. The flag may be made entirely of
embroidery, or tiny silk flags may be
bought and one neatly and firmly APP
pliqued to each white panel of the
parasol.
The hat shown is done entirely in
white, but one clever little chapeau
recently noted-a narrow-brimmed
sailor of navy braid-was decked with
band of red, white and blue striped
ribbon, and the front of the crown was
conferred with a big fiaring rosette of
red, White and blue.
The truly patriotic person will prob
ably object to handkerchiefs bearing
the flag motif in the corner although
some of these kerchiefs are shown in
the shops. One aggressive petticoat
manufacturer who brought out petit
coats with their ruffles flag bedecked
was promptly "sat upon"
Giving the flag the place of honor
above our heads, however, is eminent
ly proper, and red, white and blue
parasols and hats will undoubtedly be
seen in a great variety of styles.

POPE GRlEVES AT WAY
PEACE PROPOSAL RECEIVED
Italian Press, With Exception of the
Catholic Organs, DepIores At
tempt to End War.

Rome.-All those who have seen
Pope Benedict at work in the last few
days have been astonished at his pow
er for work and his physical stamina
since the announcement of his peace
proposals. Every day from dawn until
late at night, he sits at a desk de-
cipherinf dispatches, filling documents
with marginal notes, reading newspa-
pers and marking them with blue and
red pencils.
The pontiff is said especially to re-
sent the criticism showing he has been
as he says, misunderstood.
The aVtican authorities are discus
sing the ACCESSIBILITY of publishing an
explanatory note clearing up the pass
ages in the papel note which have en-
countered criticism.
With the exception of the Catholic
press the Italian newspapers agree
that a discussion of the question of
peace at present would favor Austro.
German plans. The newspapers de.
plore the attempt of Pope Benedict
even if made in good faith, saying il
may weaken the resistance of the pop
ulation at a moment when all the en-
ergy of Italians is necessary to bring
about a victorious end to the war.

ADDING THE FINE TOUCHES
New Finishes Which Take Little Time
and Appeal to Girl Who Makes
Her Own Clothes.

The girl who makes her own clothes
is the one who is quick to appreciate
new finishes, odd little touches which
will make her garments look like the
work of professionals. For her bene-
fit, therefore, are gathered the follow
ing fine touches which take little time
but add so much interest to a gar
ment.
A new blouse fastens in an unusual
ly odd manner. A large vertical slit
in the front of the blouse is bound
with contrasting silk. 1t is caught at
intervals of an inch or so, and buttons
are provided on the underlapping side
to fit in this series of buttonholes by
the one long slit.
Beading is lovely, but on wash
fabrics 1t is not always the most prac-
teal thing in the world. To take the
place of beads in a design calling for
them, use French knots. If these are
made with glossy silk, very hard and
very tight, the illusion. of beads will
be quite good.
A rather clever way to add tone to
plain handkerchief-linen blouse is to
lay the fullness of the front into tucks
and to work over the pressed edges
of these tucks in contrasting blanket
stitch. The same stitch will then be
used around the edges of the collar
and cuffs.
If you are adding inserted pockets
to your sports skirt make them more
prominent by embroidery around the
opening. A pretty design for this ef-
feet is a basket of very small dainty
flowers in colors, the basket appearing
at the base of the pocket and the flow
ers clambering up and around the
sides. On white or colored linen this
extra touch is most effective.

Salmon Most Valuable Fish.

The most valuable commercial fish
cries in the world, excepting only the
oyster and herring fisheries, are the
salmon fisheries, according to The
United States bureau of fisheries
Those of California, Oregon, Washing
ton, British Columbia and Alaska are
the most valuable of all.
The industry is annually increasing
in Importance in Japan and Siberia,
and Japan is becoming a large factor
in the salmon markets of the world
through her investments in the salm-
on fisheries of Siberia, and to a lesser
extent through fisheries prosecuted in
her own waters.
The American catch of salmon in
1915 by states was as follows: Alaska,
312,966,033 pounds, worth $4,074,9S4;
Washington, 81 ,641,473 pounds, worth
$2,425,655; Oregon, 32,S23,353 pounds,
worth $1,71S,SSS; California, 1928, 1853
pounds, worth $427,453 The total was
435, 973,2 90 pounds, worth $8,646,9S0.
OF the California catch, the Eel, Mad,
Klamath and Smith rivers furnished
l 1863, ia pounds including steelhead
trout; Fort Bragg, 56,247 pounds; San
Francisco bay and tributaries, 3,471,-
ga pounds; Monterey bay, 3,045,446
pounds. The total pack of canned salm-
on in 1915 on the Pacific coast was
7,639,267 cases, the greatest pack in
the history of the industry, except in
1918, which reached 8,033,915 cases.
OF the 1915 pack California furnished
1882 cases.
In the same year California put up
2,575 tierces of mild-cure salmon out
of a total American pack of 249, 1872
tierces. Exports of domestic canned
salmon in 1915 amounted to S3,446,116
pounds, valued at $9,072,0S3. This
showed a falling off of more than
| 100000 pounds from the high figure
of the year before. Fresh and picked
salmon was exported in 1916 to the
value of s1424, 1853. The total output
of eggs and fry by the United States
hatcheries on the Pacific coast for 1915
was 966, 240,303 eggs and 603,076,619
fry. The California state hatcheries
put out 100000 eggs and 768,449,614
| fry.

SIMPLE COLLAR is NO MORE
Fashion Has Decided That High, Roll
ing Japanese Neckware Must
Be Worn This Season.

There seems little hope for the SIM
pie turnover collar that has been such
large part and parcel of neckwear
offerings for ten years. Fashion has
decided that the neckwear must either
be cut In the oblong of the middle
ages and finished with fiat stitchery
collar of satin or faille must be worn,
rolling high at the back of the neck,
seemingly unboned and unstlffened,
the bust or the waist.
When these collars are not of white
satin they are of old gold and pearl
gray. They are cut according to the
japanese and Chinese fashion, only
more exaggerated in width and
height. They do not hug the back Of
the neck, but stand away from it;
they have no corners; they are round
ed and go out well over the shoulders
and fold in at the front.
Women wear tucker of folded
tulle across the bust, beneath the col
lar. Again the inside of the collar is
filled in with folds of white silk net,
gently drawn down to the waistline
and caught there with q brooch or a
bar of jewels. Even the simplest
shirtwaist of silk or wash satin has
its high, rolling collar of the material.
Organdie, embroidered muslin and all
the other inexpensive kinds of collars
that were neatly attached to the neck
line and rolled fatty over on the
shoulders are placed in the second
class of fashions.
Fine laces are used for collars, but
they are of coarse weaves, such as
filet and Irish crochet, and it is smart
er to have them arranged in the jap
anese fashion than to have them
placed fatty on the shoulders.
