Torpedo-Boat Destroyers.

Most people are familiar with the
ordinary torpedo-boat, swift vessel
of from 400 to 600 tons in displace-
ment, carrying no defensive armor.
but armed with tubes for disGharging
the deadly torpedoes. To counterfeit
these wasps Of the sea, type of YES
sci was designed of about double the
size of torpedo-boats, a little greater
speed, and in addition to torpedo
tubes, armed with rapid-fire six to
twelve-pounder guns, for the avowed
purpose of destroying torpedo-boats.
Lately all the great nations have
stopped building torpedo-boats, as
originally designated, and are building
topedo-boat destroyers. Recent en-
gagements have developed the fact
that torpedo-boat destroyers are used
almost wholly as torpedo-boats. So,
they are really battleship destroyers.
To defend the capital ships for tor
pedo attack the dreadnaughts and bat
tie cruisers are armed with secondary
batteries of rapid-fire guns from four
to six inches in diameter. One we'll
placed shell from a gun of that size
will ordinarily put a destroyer out OF
business, as the destroyers have no
defensive armor whatever.

The Bows Example.

In q certain school a teacher asked
his class the meaning of "oratorio," a
word which occurred in their lesson.
AS no one could give an intelligent
answer, he proceeded to an explana-
ton. He told them that it was kind
of musical drama usually founded on
some Scripture story, and he instanced
the messiah" and Israel in Egypt as
examples. He then appealed to the
class to give him other examples.
One boy, who was manifesting a
growing Impotence at not being al
lowed to show that he knew all about
oratorios, was at length asked, and
fairly nonplussed the master by his
answer: Aaron on the Rhine."-Lon-
don Tit-BitS.

Gases Used in Warfare.

A recent scientific report from Eu-
rope treats of the principal gases used
for attack. These include chlorine,
bremine, sulphur dioxide and formal
dehyde. Chlorine and bromine have
proved most effective, because of their
great weight. They roll over the
ground like water .fhese gases are
released from compression tanks. The
sulphur dioxide and formaldehyde are
produced by burning the appropriate
chemicals. There are many gases
more deadly than those named, but
in order to be effective for trench
work the poison gas must have suffi-
Gent weight to stick to the ground.
The gas mask has practically done
away with the actual effectiveness of
the gas attacks, but they are said to
have considerable psychological effect
still, many soldiers thinking they are
"gassed" when they are only smelling
the harmless vapors set up inside the
gas masks.

Sits provide the openings for the
pockets, but their practical use is
open to debate. They are capaci0us,
however, and might carry handker-
chief or coin purse without spelling
the line of the skirt.
The belt is shaped to fit the figure,
and this is the characteristic of belts
In general. They are not mere bands
about the waist, but are SO cut and
placed as to give graceful definition
of the waistline. The business of
supporting the skirt is not theirs, but
is taken care of by a webbing belt on
the under side, which fastens with
hooks and eyes. A single large bone
button at the front of the cloth belt
looks more than equal to it's RESPONSE

EVERY GOLFER is CHAMPION
If He Doesn't Like the Ordinary
classificatIons He Can Make New
Ones to Suit Himself.

1t long has been a mystery to tbs
man who doesn't play golf to under
stand what there is about the game to
make otherwise dignifed and rational
persons to go nutty over it. Should a
non-golfer casually cOnfide to his fam
lily doctor that all is not well, and that
he finds that he can't get away with
three square meals day and a light
lunch before retiring quite so happily
as he used to, the medical man prob
ably will tell him to play golf. And if
the nOn-golfer asks if the doctor plays
the game, the physician proceeds to
give him 5000 words on how he made
the seventeenth hole in three, and that
he can swing his mashie like Chick
Evans. And it is the same with other
acquaintance; they all prescribe their
FAD as means of battling old age.
Another queer thing about the game
is the ready conceit acquired by the
dub, says the Seattle ost-Intelligen-
Ger. Give a near-golfer two or three
lessons and he is ready to bet money
on himself. And he will go to a lot of
trouble to round up a bunch of other
dubs and take them out to the links
to trim them out of 40 cents. Any
player may be champion in his class.
He may be the best 24O-pound, side
Whiskered and bald-headed player in
the world. II he doesn't like the ordi-
nary classification he can make new
ones to suit him. There is no reason
why any man should not be champion
in his class.
Also it is exasperating for a man
who must stay in the Office or store
all day to have somebody come in and
clank his golf sticks on the floor and
talk about niblicks and brassies and
the "drive through stroke" whatever
that is. And just when the conversa-
ton gets around to the point where
one could happily expatiate on the
joys of backyard garden, a motor
boat or a flivver, the bounder usually
rises and leaves hurriedly.

water in any old clothes. Now that
everybody swims or takes part in wa
ter sports, beach clothes have be-
come as important rs any other part
of the wardrobe. 1t is the bathing suit
that applies the acid test to the come
ly wOman's attractions.
The newest arrival is an inspiration,
of the chimise dress. 1t is made of
taffeta and worn over short bloomers-
1t has sailor collar and two SMALL
pockets on the body and the straight
line of the skirt portion is broken
with larger pockets at each side.

and Lille, by Valenciennes, Maubeuge,
Avesnes, Hirson and Vervins.
It is by these roads and railways
coming down the valley cOnverging to-
ward Paris and the heart of France.
that the German rush was made. 1t
was in utilizing our beautiful French
roads, the convenient network of rail-
ways, and the canals from the north
and the east that the BOcheS thought
to reach Paris in a few weeks and par
alyze all resistance and any offensive
effort. "Nach Paris !" they cried, joy
ously, emptying the cellars of Cham
payne and Brie. Their career ended
wretchedly on the banks of the Marine,
and pursued by the armies of Joffre
and the heroic little English army, they
fell back precipitately to the banks Of
the Aisne.
After the bombardment of the Cloth
hall of Ypres, the belfry of Arras, the
cathedral of Reims, and hundred
other useless Outrages on buildings Gel
ebrated for their beauty and their ar
tistic and historic interest, there is
uudulIuOuS 1SdE III ClNLIlASu SOuhIA
that the retiring Germans will destroy
the beautiful towns Of Belgium and
France. The town Of LaOn possesses
some remarkable buildings, as we'll as
museum, art and antiquity, and it has
library rich in manuscripts. Archie
ologists and tourists recognize the in
terest of the Palais de Justice, the So
issons gate, the Chenizelles postern.
The destruction of the cathedral will
be an irreparable loss. 1t was built
in the thirteenth century, is one OF
the largest and has been better re-
stored than any other in the north OF
France. Two towers, each $50 feet
high, rise on either side Of the porch.
The west front is-after Notre
Dame de Paris-the most remarkable
Gothic facade for its purity Of taste.
It is flanked by two towers, each ITO
feet high, surmounted by little two
storied belfry towers, decorated with
colossal figures Of animals represent
ing the oxen which dragged from the
plain to the summit Of the hill the ma
terials required for the building of
this beautiful monument. The nave
is 800 feet long, 65 feet broad, and so
feet high; the side aisles inclose 3O
chapels. The pulpit is very beautiful.

Chain-stitching has the effect Of en-
brOidery on collar and pockets.
A cap to match adds to the dis
tinction of this modish water-dress. 1t
is Of white rubberized satin. A band
of black taffeta converts it into q
small, roomy turban with cOronet cut in
scallops at the top. The girdle is made
of the silk and slips through a silk
covered buckle at the front.
The second suit is much less sim
pie, but a delight to the girl with a
Venus de Milo figure, which it will set
off to the best advantage. It has
bodice and short skirt, gathered to
give trim waistlines. Bands of white
rubberized satin are stitched to this
girdle, each band terminating in

in practical living. Our sole guide is
what hits our appetite, says the Ohio
State Journal. We want what ''we'd
ruther," as the poor woman told Jane
Adams. 1t is going in and buying
potatoes by the pile, without regard
to the bushels or pecks. There is
twice as much living in some kinds of
foods as in others and yet we pass up
our plate perfectly unconcerned
whether it comes back with 500 or
1000 calories. This is one reason we
are poor.

Here is a new, separate skirt for
fall which shows no very radical de-
parturc from the styles in skirts that
prevail now. 1t would be difficult to
improve upon the simple, we'll adjust
ed skirt of today, with their good hues
and interesting vagaries in pockets
and BELTS, The material in the skirt
pictured is novelty, with moderately
wide stripes in a darker shade of the
color in the skirt, set far apart on
cross-bar surface.
The belt and flat pockets are cut in
one piece and stitched to the skirt.

Unsound Feet and Leqs.

Americas physical fOundation-the
feet and legs of her citizens-is I'M
sound, if we are to believe P. A. Vale,
who has made a study of feet, says
Popular Science Monthly. If we do not
discard the present monstrosities in
footgear and get into the habit of walk
ng, using our legs and feet instead Of
the automobile and street car, he says
re will become human penguins. He
calls attention to the fact that DR..
Lloyd Brown, the examining physician
IF Harvard, found that 500 of TAG men,
bers of the 1915 freshmen class stood
In a manner that indicated ga poten-
TALLY for Sickness" and that 476 Of
the 500 students had feet and legs so
imperfect that they were ineligible for
military duty! Lack of leg exercise is
supposed to be the cause of this con-
dition Mr.. Vale says that the Ameri-
can woman has neglected herself so
long that her legs and feet are suffer-
ing malformations. There is no longer
in her leg the beauty of the classic
line.
