causes of the war. The intolerable

by the sinister masters of Germany have

you to consider again and with a very
grave scrutiny our detectives and the
measures by which we mean to attain
them; for the purpose of discussion
here in this place is action, and our ac-
tion must move straight toward definite
ends. Our object is, of course, to win
the war; and we shall not slacken or
suffer ourselves to be diverted until it
is won. But it is worth while asking and
answering the question: When shall we

From one point of view it is not

RUSH THE SEASONS
Women Are Turning the Calendar
Upside Down.
Straw Hats In the First Month Of the
Year One Of the Idlosyncrssies
That No Preaching
Will Touch.

Much of the preaching that is
hurled against women today in the
matter of choosing clothes is their
perverse habit of turning the calen-
dar upside down. This was consid-
cred rather abusing when 1t began
about a dozen years ago. Straw hats
I'm February were rarely worn at that
time, but the individuals asked for
them and the milliners needed the
request. After few experiments,
what had been a caprice, n fantastic
conception of clothes, turned into a
practice aided and furthered by com
merce for it's own dark reasons.
Ii one is going south from any
point of the compass on this planet,
whether 1t means Italy, Egypt, Pana-
ma or Florida, there Is every reason
to want straw hat In January, and
1t is to beguile the people who are
running away from the snow into
spending their pennies on new hats
that the windows blossom out with
straw hats on the day after the new
calendars are hung on the wall.
All of this Is sane behavior; but
when the women who remained in the
snow took 1t into their eads to adopt
the head covering of June, and the
mllliners, Seeing in this caprice a
chance to make hundreds of dollars in
duh month, imported from Paris
every manner of hot-weather hat, then
| the whole world suddenly took II into
its head that this was the right thing
to do.
Actually, there is no sense what
ever in rushing the season like this
by the time May arrives, with its sun
shine in climates that are given over
to cold winters, there is nothing left
that is new or enticing in the way OF
hats, and one has the consciousness oi
exploiting straw and roses during the
days when every change in the skies
meant weather that made such hat
ridiculous.
But--preachings are of no avail. II
women want straw hats in the first
month of the new year, they're going
to have them, and If they feel that
they would rather wear summer hats
for nine months in the year. though
they are the most perishable form OF
headgear, nothing will stop them from
doing it, Theirs is the will and theirs
is the purse, and they find hundred.
Of merchants who will encourage then
In this caprice to the extent of bank
ruptcy.

miles from the mansion house of to-
day is the site of an old mill, known
to have been built by this same Angus
tine Washington. That mill was on
the banks of the Epsewasson creek.
The walls, which were laid in lime
stQne, began to crumble back in the
sixties and the farmers In the vicinity
hauled away some OF the stone.
This mill was in actual use for 30
years by General Washington, and so
superior was the quality of the flour
he ground that 1t was admitted to Eng
llsh markets without inspection.
The huge brick barn covered with
ivy one sees at Mount Vernon today
was built by Augustine Washington
also. Here baby George no doubt rode
on the back of the plow horses and
climbed into the farm wagons just as
country boys do today. But in 1879
fire destroyed the house and Angus
tine moved down to another plantation
of his near Fredericksburg, Va. This
place was known as Pine Grove.

windows of the buildings north and
west of the monument, and the cool,
gray surface is seen TO be marked with
IL shining lines of gold.
Theoretically, a similar effect could
be obtained from some point of OBJ
servation at each moment when the
SUMS rays are intercepted by the slop-
ing top of the monument, but only an
airship could attain the necessary
vantage point.
To protect the monument from light
ming the men of science agreed on n
number of iron bands, heavily galvan-
lied aud gold plated to prevent rust
ing. The bands are connected with
the aluminium point of the monument
and the framework of the elevator, and
at the base iron cables lead the cleo
tricity into deep well. where II harm

tion has proved to be perfect.-Youth's

POPULAR FOR HOUSE WEAR

Charmeuse, somewhat ousted from
favor for evening wear, has taken on

and deservedly, for It Is decorative in

thin enough to prove ideally comfor,

charmeuse could give without any sug-
gestion of the shot effect, which was

like q bloom on the surface than a
tangible color. Here that aluminium
embroidery already mentioned, very
dull ana very heavy, entered proml-
nently into the scheme of things. The
panel-like side pieces, carried up to
the armpits, were n smart feature Of
the frock. And very becoming they
were, lending an appearance of height
to the figure, which is welcome enough
In these often "tubby" days. More
of the embroidery surrounded the
slightly rounded neck left hhrd and

wide sleeves, of bell-llke proportions.

Few People Know the Purpose of
Bands at the Apex of Wash

those who have lived within

and moreover, the bands are studded
with golden points. The bands are
made Of gold-plated iron a foot wide,
and the points are spaced foot from

The skin Of sharks is very tough
and durable, and some of them have
beautiful surface pattern, which re-
mains after tanning.
Arrangements have already been
made for securing from Florida fisher
men large supply of large shark
skins, and further specimens are ex-
pected from other sources. These
skins will be sent by the bureau of
fisheries to tanners. 1t is hoped that
eventually all fishermen along our
coasts may find q regular market for
the skins of sharks caught by them.
