.HE popularity the knitted
sweater during the summer
1 season has brought forth a de-
Urhtful novelty in fall sports milli-
nery-the knitted tam and the An
CORA tam. Very jaunty and chick Is
the girl who adopts this new tam;
when worn with knitted sweater 1t
is ideal for outdoor life.
The girl who Is not yet able to
knit, although it is being done
everywhere, may yet make one OF
these smart tams of angora braid.
This braid comes in a number of
popular shades and is about one
half inch wide. a bolt contains ten
yards, which is quite sufficient for
a tam and Is selling for Sl.T5 at
present.
In order TO make such a hat II
will FIRST be necessary to have a thin
lining to be used as a guide. Main
sock or long cloth is suitable. For
a pattern one could use a large
sized dinner plate, leaving a margin
around Il so that the circle will
measure about thirteen inches.
Double the material and cut the
circle. Now stitch the outside edges
frmly together. A smaller circle, the
size OF the head. should then be cut
from the center of one circle only.
This forms the foundation for the
tam.
Slightly gather a small section OF
the braid and turn 81 into a circle to
begin covering ths lining. Begin at

awaiting him.
Grady held up the necklace. and
turned to Harry. 81 offered you one

me persuade you to join us. You

The color faded from the young
mans face. Crook"
The men laughed. The young
American saw he was beaten. He
backed out, humiliated, distressed,
uncertain what to do. Further ad-
venture he had no heart for. He
stumbled along to his hotel deter
mined to take the first steamer out
of the city of misfortune, and he
looked at the printed warning on his
wall with a sad eye. you win," he
said aloud.
The mysterious errand of the three
cloaked figures over, they returned
to the house OF Mustapha for the
necklace, and the old soldier, going
to the compartment. thrust in his
hand to bring forth the Jewels. With
a start OF terror he looked within.
Save for a lace veil the compartment
was empty.
lima, her veil thrown back, burst
terrified into the room only to halt
at the sight OF the strange guests.
But there was no mistaking the
pantomime. She knew with feminine
intuition that here was the owner OF
the pearls. lost through her curiosity;
that before her stood the man before
whom the greatest in all Islam
trembled.
81 took the pearls" her clear voice
rang out. Tears fingered in her eyes
like shining diamonds. The Sultan's
hand for silence; there was no mis-
taking the gesture; he turned to the
executioner.
He is not worthy to live; 10 your
duty"
The executioner raised the scimit lr
over the neck of the kneeIing Nus'a-
pha, whirled the terrible blade
through the air as though exulting in
his reftness. and was about to strike
the fatal blow when the young girl
threw herself on the body of her fos-
ter father and begged the Sultan TO
take her life instead.
This exhibition of loyalty gave the
great man 4 chance to be romantically
Isnient. He motioned to the execu-
TONER. The dazzling scImitsr descend
ed harmlessly. The grand ViZier
stepped to the gIf4's side.
Here was a prize. True, the neck
lace was gone, but here was a jewel
among women. What figure in the
royal harem compared with this
girls? Which had throat so per-
feet. eyes so Iustrous. a skin SO mar
velously pure?
The vizier whispered word in the
royal ear. The sultan. whose thought
had been the same. nodded. The Vizier
motioned the perplexed Mustapha to

Put Young America to Bed Early

form to the spirit Of the Franklin
rule. They are practically all regu-
lar and systematic in their matter
OF daily habits.
For children the habit of early to
bed and early to rise IL a most val
liable one, both as a means Of or
ganizing a strong character and as
fundamental for future business
success. Only ignorant or negli-
gent parents will deny their little
children the full satisfaction of ma
ture's demands for a long night of
sleep and growth.
Some sleep Fast, Others slow.
1t is an actual fact that thin
skinned, nervousIy organized per-
sons sleep faster than thick
skinned, phlegmatic ones. The life
processes go on more rapidly dur
ing sleep, and natures work OF re-
storing the physical tone is more
quickly finished.
During the active working hours
the body. including the brain, be-
comes clogged with the poison mat
ter of the waste products. Sleep
gives nature time to carry these
of. 1t is a simple process OF un-
poisoning.
Put your little ones in a good
physical condition. poised in body
and mind. A bedtime lunch is worse
for a child than a bedtime spanking,
and both are utterly inexcusable.
Anything more than a little orange
juice or a very small portion of raw
fruit is equivalent TO a heavy dose
OF poison II given at bedtime
II you are foolish enough to give
your child a heavy lunch or such
rich food as ice cream and cake at
bedtime, you had better follow this
with a heavy dose of castor oil to
help purge away the poison. Then
allow one or two hours extra sleep
in the morning to counteract the
consequent heaviness and dullness.
Evening dinners are too much for
children. At o'clock supper" is

BRITISH BUILD GREAT
SHIP IN SEVEN MONTHS

London. Sept 2S.-The first
standard merchant steamer built to
the order OF the government to re-
place those destroyed by German
submarines has been completed and
placed in commission in less than
seven months from the date on
which her keel was laid. II Is ex-
pected that vessels similar to this
first one will be constructed In four
to four and one-half months. Many
hundreds OF others are being built
and Sir Joseph Maclay announced
during the trial trip Of the, first
standardized steamer, that every
shipyard in the United Kingdom was
full Of such vessels in process OF
construction.
1t Is understood that six types OF
cargo steamers known as A. b, C,
ID. e. and F. are at present being
constructed OF about 5000 tons
dead-weight. 1000 tons. 5000 tons,
and 5000 tons, and the construction
OF other types is being considered.
Some Of the ships already built we're
especially adapted for carrying
grain. being single deckers, others
with twin decks would be suitable
for carrying any class Of cargo.
The fact that engines Of standard
design can be fitted in any vessel Of
the type for which 1t is adapted has
merits at the outset and also merits
when repairs to the machinery are
required since spare parts will be
readily available.
The operation of all the state
standard ships will be placed in the
care Of steamship managers subject
