Among those most in use on mer'

a surprising extent. but particularly
on naval vessels. The smoke bombs
are merely containers filed with chem
icals which when cast overheard
throw off dense black smoke, obscur-
ing the ship from an attacking subma-
rine.
A great variety of experiments in
camouflage have been tried on naval
vessels They have been painted ev'
cry hue of the rainbow that might
tend to merge the ship in its back
ground and make it indistinguishable
to investigating periscopes. Admiral
Benson said many of these devices had
been demonstrated to be OF great
merit. Warships too, are equipped
with detectors which indicate the proX-
unity of other ships.
More and more of the merchant
ships, of course, are being armed so as
to be able to give good account OF
themselves in encounters with the
U-boats, and experiments constantly
are going on in the navy to improve
the weapons of offense employed
against the submarine. special en-
deavor is being made to perfect the
operation of depth charges so that II
may be possible more frequently TO
pot" the U-boats as they subnerge
or as they run along with only their
periscopes showing.
Balloons are employed on the ships
for observation purposes, but their use
Is not at all new.

Saturday, November IL, 1917.

Astrologers read this as an unimpor-
tant day, since the Sun and Mercury
are very slightly beenfic in aspect, and
Saturn is mildly inimlcable.
Under this rule the stars are be-
lieved neither to help nor to hinder
those who seek work, but the rise will
wait for a more encouraging sway.
Writers and they who advertise can
pursue routine affairs with success
during this configuration. A great
change in newspapers and magazines,
however. in forecast and 1t will mean
much 20 authors and journalists.
The seers declare that out of the
war-conditions will come such new
standards of efficiency that. no mat
ter how heavy may be the losses in
wealth and men. the United States
will gain an impetus putting the
country foremost among world
powers.
1t is read as a lucky day for the
Swing Of presents and this fact should
be observed in sending gifts to SOL
diers.
Astrologers declare that in the next
few months a new respect for old su-
perstitions will grow among United
States soldiers and civilians.
This is not supposed to be a fortu-
nate rule for persons past middle
age and they should safeguard the
health.
Diseases may appear to increase to-
ward the end of the month. but cities
will be more affected than armies.
Women will do well to be very eau
tious in their behavior during the next
few months as the stars seem to indi-
cate reckless love affairs, rash actions
and fickleness on the part of men.
The spread of democracy in quarters
where II used to be least understood
and corresponding growth OF class
feeling where 1t should not exist are
prognosticated. This has some con-
nection with the army where jeal-
ousies will develop.
Persons whose birthdate II is may
be 'menaced by fire and thieves in the
coming year. They should also pay
special attention to the health.
Children born on this day may be
often In financial difficulties. These
subjects Of Scorpio should be carefully
trained In habits of thrift.

WASH DAY LORE.

In washing chamois gloves use tepid
water and white soap. Make a good
lather of the soap and wash gently till
the dirt disappears. An old toothbrush
is good aid in scrubbing the especial
ly dirty places. Rinse in clean suds
made in the same manner and dry in
a moderate temperature. The soapy
rinse water prevents the chamois from
getting stiff and hard.
Always shrink wash materials before
making. Shrink by immersing in cold
water till thoroughly saturated. (Hot
water cooks the starch in material and
makes It gluey.) A bathtub is a good
place to shrink It in.

A FALL AFTERNOON
BY LUCILLE CAMERON.

These brisk. bright autumn days
seem to bring out the cleverest tall
leurs and coat frocks, not to mention
the unique new furs and dashing
little chapeaux which furnish the
spice of the fall styles. The hustle
silhouette flourishes along Connec-
ticut avenue and Sixteenth street,
and with each drop of the ther-
mometer new wintry things crop up.
Hats seem to be especially becom-
ing this season; It would seem that
there is a style to suit every face.
instead Of that lamentable happen
ing of other years, when a face
must be found to suit the hat
There is a debonair and very
beautiful young married woman
who carries a knitting bag of purple
panne with decorations of tarnished
gold braid wherever she goes. What
Is in 1t Is a mystery. for no one has
ever seen her do a stitch Of knit
ting yet.
But she looked very charming in
a suit of elephant gray gloveskin
cloth, with a panel back and adorn-
ed with discriminating touches of
seal. A saucily tilted little hat of
purple velvet trimmed with a mar
velous feather in tones of blue and
gray and purple was ably supple
mented by a purple silk veil with a
delicate tracery OF vine and blossom
which emphasized its owners ex'
Quisite complexion
An ultraconservative leader OF
the "cave-dweller" set of Washing

Victoria and pair Of high-stepping
chestnuts when she would a-riding
go. She was noted on Sixteenth
street the other day, clad in a really
wonderful Paquin suit of dark
taupe broadcloth, with its cuffs and
collar embroidered in gold thread,
Her square cape of mole was the
companion-in-sm Of a small
hat with a crown of metal brocade
and a scalloped brim of the mole.
AS fascinating as possible was the
prune-colored velvet and leopard
skin tailleur worn by the wife of a
visiting Argentine millionaire. Close
fitting sleeves, a very narrow skirt
ard the popular hustle drapery con-
spired with narrow bands of leo
pard fur on collar and sleeves to
make this suit fairly breathe of the
great couturieres of Paris. A small
turban of brown faille ribbon was
encircled with a narrow band of
the leopard skin. which was caught
into a tiny bow in front
