Two New Shapes.

With which the shape is covered. In
some cases long-haired silk beaver is
adopted, but silk beaver hats are ex-
.eedingly expensive and for ordinary
wear shapes covered with soft lou
zine" are quite as effective.
The model sketched was In pure
white oursine. with a wide band of
,apphire-blue velvet twisted round the
,op of the crown and tied in a loose
BOW at one side. Similar hats are
simply trimmed with a wide band of
.rochet work in some b~right-colored
wool, with a full tassel falling coquet-
ishly over the right ar.
The second head shows a model by
Lewis. This is one of the newest
shapes, and 1t is half hat, half toque.
In front the brim is pressed into a
point, but at the back it is fiat and
finished with a large, fiat bow. No
trimming Is introduced OF hats of this
Kind, and they are worn well pressed
iown over the hair.
For wearing with simple tailored
suits this model would be specially
suitable and 1t might be made In some
bright colored velvet or panne; for ex-
ample, In emerald green or tomato red.
The crown is high and very full, with
4 slight tendency toward extra width
At the back. For everyday wear such
4 hat might be made of gray oursine'
Or of golden-yellow chamois cloth, with
a fiat black satin bow at the back.

Disease Not Inherited.

An entirely wrong doctrine of hered-
ity has been the source of a great deal
of anxiety In the world, declares James
J. Walsh, M. D., in the American Maya
zine, and has kept many people from
living their lives as they ought to do,
because they have been spending time
and energy worrying over what would
happen to them if certain feelings
which they thought symptoms of in
herited disease were to prove cor
rect. Defects are inherited, but dis
ease is not, because acquired charac'
teristics are not transmitted. Appre-
hension of heredity has probably
caused more suffering than heredity
itself.

Ran Idea.

If you are thinking of something
different" in a knitting bag, how abou
this? Black oilcloth, bone handles
white silk lining, and stuffed sill
fruits. The top Of the bag is attache
with three rows Of shirring, the liz
ing is of brilliant white MORE sill
And the use of the bright colored sill
fruit is the most striking thing abou
1t. Satin apples, pears, peaches, an
even grapes in their natural color
just drip from down each side of th
bag. There Is absolutely no decor,
ton on either the front or the BAG
Of the bag.

Demanded Attention.

Irene's mother was i'll, and sympa-
thizing visitors sat at her bedside, di-
recting all their attention to the In
valid. The little girl stood by quietly
for a while, till she could bear the neg
lect no longer. Holding up her hand,
she began looking for some injury, and
finding an imaginary trace of a for
gotten hurt, she exclaimed reproach-
fully, Eyes, but look at me. I dot a
sore finger"

LAUCK AUTo TuRNED TuRTLE.
Driver Was Unhurt, but W. E. Bell,
 Rescuer, Received Bad Cut.

On Monday as Jesse Lauck was driving up West Port Arthur ave- nue in the Lauck Ford automobile, he met with an accident which
 might have proved serious, but which fortunately injured him very slightly and damaged the car very little except to smash the wind shield. It seems that he was driv- ing at a good rate of speed and after passing over a crossing near the home of W. E. Bell and then at tempting to get back in the line of the street, there was blowout of one of the hind tires. causing the car to turn turtle with the driver underneath. The engine continued running after the car turned over, but Young Lauck had presence of mind enough to shut off the en- zine. In the meantime, w. E. Bell and w. NJ. Mathews, who had noticed the accident appeared on the scene, and in lifting the car from the driver, Mir. Bell cut his hand so badly on the shattered glass of the broken wind shield that it required eight stitches to close the wound

TIE NAVY NEEDS RECRUITS.
Report to the Contrary Was Errone'

J.. L. Norvell, naval recruiting oill- .cer from the Fort Smith station, ar rived in Mena Thursday afternoon and spent Friday in Mena in an effort to secure recruits. Roy WeoO and Frederick Boughan had been secured early that morning, and they left that night for Little Rock Mir. Norvell stated to a representa- tive of The Star that an erroneous impression has gone out to the effect that the Navy is full and that no more recruits are wanted, when as matter of fact many more men are wanted. He states that the reason recruits are allowed to return home after passing the examination and being accepted, is that the training stations are overcrowded, but this will soon be overcome when the government completes the contem- plated increase in the training sta tiOpS
