WRECK OF EXPRESS IS
AVERTED BY her HAT
Headuear of Woman Is Found
Beside Split Rail, and Warn
ing Is Given.

Greenwich, Conn. The next time
your wife breaks the news to you that
she has bought new hat it might be
wise not to call the hat any names I'M
til 1t mas had time to prove what sort
of hat 1t is.
There Is a remote possibility it might
be heroine hat like the one that Mrs.
NJ. Fillmore Bowen, Christian Science
reader of this town, bought. She did
not buy 1t for heroine hat, but the
hat revealed its abilities when she
wore 1t for the first time by preventing
the wreck of an express train on the
New Haven railroad near Port Chester.
Mrs Bowen boarded train for New
York. At Port Chester she walked
through the train looking for friend.
The hat blew off when she was cross
ing a platform. She notified the con-
ductor. He telegraphed back, and be-
fore the Grand Central terminal was
reached informed Mrs. Bowen that the
hat was waiting for her in the freight
station in Port Chester.
When on her return Mrs. Bowen got
the hat she was told that bootblack
at the station had found the hat on the
ties beside split rail. He had run
back, she was informed, and reported
the split rail- An approaching express
train was switched to another track.
The split rail was replaced.

EVERYBODY SHOULD DO
HIS PART IN THE WAR
Should Set For Himself the Highest
Standard of Efficiency.

Washington. = When you ask the
average man how he thinks the war
is being handled he will answer:
"Oh, we're doing a lot. We're get
ting along all right"
It's an easy answer. But is it the
truth7 What is getting along all
right?" says Porter Emerson Browne
of the Vigilantes.
In war there is no such thing as get
ting along all right. There is only one
thing that is all right-that Is, perfec-
ton.
Perfection is not human. Humanity
has always and will always make mis-
takes. In war mistakes cost blood and
suffering and human lives. Conse-
quently to say we're getting along all
right is to condone error and to con-
done suffering.
A senator quibbling over some po-
litical advantage may cause delays that
will mean the death of his own son.
A representative too narrow minded
to grasp the public veal may squabble
over some silly prerogative that will
mean the widowlng of his own daugh-
ter.
A cabinet member or department
head wavering in the winds of indeci-
sion may postpone and put off and pro-
crastinate until the price will be the
orphaning of his own grandchildren.
1t is for every man and every woman
in the United States of America to set
himself the highest standard of eff
cheney possible and then do his and her
utmost to live up to that standard.
When mistakes must be paid for in
the blood of those we love, the best
that is in us is none too good.

TO DANISH EGG SHAMP0OS.
BARRIERS Say Plan Would Save 25o,ooo,-
600 a Year.

South Bend, Ind. ID. Kimerer,
barber of this city, has a scheme to
save 250,000O00 eggs year for the con-
sumption of the people. He has put
his plan before National Food Director
Hoover and received from him assur-
ance of its consideration. Kimerer
would do away with the egg shampoo
during the war. He says that on an
average, which is considered low, each
barber in the United States gives three
egg shampoos a week, using two eggs.
Recent statistics show that there are
100000 BARRIERS.
Thus if the government placed ban
on egg shampoos for men 1t would
mean the saving of 93,600,O00 eggs
each year, provided each barber aver
aged but three shampoos. But other
BARRIERS in the city say the average of
three Is too low and that it would be
nearer six or eight. Figured at that
rate, more than 200,000O00 eggs could
be saved. 1t is a hard matter to get at
the number of eggs used by women
for shampooing, inasmuch as many do
their own work. However, a hairdress-
err estimates that 100000 eggs are
used each year.

The discovery includes sixty pieces
Of rare pottery, over 10000 carved red

implements. The turquoise beads, mo-

as among the finest ever excavated in

pine cones. cotton fiber, yucca leaves,
rushes. cotton yarn and cloth, sandals,

Mrs. Astor, land it was near enough

Mrs. Astor said the widest magma
ton could not visualize the destruction
wrought by the Germans In their wan
ton attempts to lay waste France. Il
cannot understand how the Germans
spared the soldiers and explosives to
wreck such a huge expanse so COM
pletely," said Mrs. Aston Il hope they
won't be able to continue devastating
the country as they are forced back
out of France"
Mrs. Astor visited Prince Eitel Fried
rich's observation post near Noyon,
where before the retreat the Germans
viewed the activities along the old
French line. This cleverly concealed
position, offering a view of a wide ex-
panse of the front and bearing in
Vulnerable evidences of its recent oc-
cupancy by the German prince and his
staff, interested her greatly. She OBJ
tanned there several souvenirs like
shoulder straps Of the German officers
of distinguished regiments and but
tons from the tunics of crack German
units which she found among litter
left behind when the invaders re-
treated.

GOT 26 DUCKS IN II SHOTS.
Yukon Hunters Big Bag From Birds
In Flight.

Dawson, Y. TED Doran of South
Dawson made, according to number of
shots fired, record i:!i!.5 cf ducks
on the Klondike flats near Jackson
gulch. He left home with only seven
teen shells, thinking from his past ex
perience that number would be ample.
At 1:30 a. m. the ducks began to ar
rive, and in the dusk Doran fred FIVE
shots at indlstinct forms without bring
ing any down.
Then with seven shells he landed as
many birds singly. By this time the
ducks were coming in showers, and,
it being impossible to select single
birds, he began ground sluicing them
and with his last five shots laid out
nineteen cold and wounded seven or
eight more that got away in the brush
and darkness.
Doran says 1t was the greatest fight
he ever saw, and If he had had enough
shells he would have beaten Jack Lees
record of ffty-two ducks In less than
one hour, which Jack repeated three
times about ten years ago up the Klon-
dixie.

having been followed out by the bees
