UNIVERSAL EDUCATION.

One great lesson the war has
taught us the power of education.
The German people exemplify the
terrible result of years OF wrong
teaching. wrong training. Their
brutal and selfish kultur was ham
mered into them from childhood to
old age for a period OF forty years.
Since 1914 they have been putting
into practice the education they had
received.
There is no reason why a right
education should not be just as
powerful. Rightly educated nations
will work for good just as Germany
has worked for evil. IL is because
OF this that a great wave Of interest
in education is sweeping over the
world. Decent governments realize
that their strength lies in an educai-
ed citizenry. People know that they
cannot live the fullest. most efficient
lives without education. Every

What is in the mind of the Amer

OF what are we thinking?
Are we thinking of the flag and
all that it stands for, or are our
minds otherwise engaged?
OF course, it is reasonably certain
that we are thinking of something
but have our thoughts the slightest
connection with the message our
flag is carrying to the enemy?
We obediently arise with the first
sonorous note of the anthem and we
remain standing till the end. We

Or are we silently urging the mu-

it so that we may resume an inter

tiently waiting to take up broken
conversation; a game OF bridge; the
telling of story: the reading of a
newspaper; the liberal art of crti-

infinitely more incompatible, ex-
plotting the hateful efficiency of the

We sit in public places, and we

We suspend for the moment our

our hands in our pockets and our

that nothing more is required of

bland expression of resignation to

Camouflage would seem by divine
right to be the cubist's field AS he

scenes he claimed to depict. he may

enhancing thing is that the layman

recently issued a proclamation in

The war department has lent its
influence to encourage young men
to take some college training by es-
tablishing military training schools
at many colleges, and urging the
highschool graduates to enlist in the
service of their country by attending
school and preparing for military
duty at the same time.
The Rhodes Scholarship Trust has
evidenced its appreciation of the
value of education by granting
scholarship in English universities to

CARTWHEEL SAILOR
PROMISES TO RETURN
HOWEVER, 1T VIES FOR POP
ULARITY WITH THE TAMS
AND DEMURE POKES.

Philadelphia, Aug. 50-The SOM
breness of war is decidedly not echo
ed in the fall millinery. Indeed i
looks as though milady had selected
her fall bonnets with the idea of in
sitting cheer into the morale of the
country.
One of her extravagant whims is
the revision to the cartwheel sailor
an extravaganza seconded by the
truly enormous tam which is also
considered ultra-Sma for the fall
of 1918. Then, as a contrast, there
are the demure pokes and the con-
servative mushrooms. Among these
various shapes we find thick cushion
brims and shirred crowns. OF
course, as the winter grows colder
the smaller hats will be in greater
evidence, those comfortable chape-
aux with which a veil looks so trig
and trim.
Fabrics Used.
There is very little simplicity in
the fall millinery, as is at once eyi-
dent in the rich beavers, as is
at once plush shapes, not to speak
of the velvets, silk crepes and the
handsome brocades used. In these
fabrics the leading colors are brown,
taupe, a new bark" tan, purple,
navy and the inevitable black.
Feather decorations will be para
mount, particularly the beautiful
ostrich in various forms. Wings,
whips and some new burnt feathers
will also be much worn, and there
is an abundance OF embroideries in
wool and chenille, though the more
patriotic women will eliminate the
wool. for it is too much needed i'll
the trenches to be used at home
merely for ornament. Hand-paint-
ed designs will be employed, as will
also fur edgings and bands and
plain ribbons.
A Few Examples.
One unusual hat and an extreme
model combines the dropping line
of the mushroom with the enormous
width of the cartwheel. 1t may be
smart, but there is sympathy due to
that chapeau's fellow-trolley paSsen-
gers. Its hatter's plush brim is
combined with a wrapped velvet
crown, all in black, and two rabbit
ears of velvet stand upright at the
center front.
A quaint poke insists upon a
stovepipe crown. The entire hat is
IS OF dull finished silk in midnight
blue. There is a simple trimming

bow at the side. Yet
here is a certain atmosphere
about the hat which keeps it from

board, testified in the senate military

that when the advisory commission of

information for use in case of war.

of these volunteers were men who had
given merely their time in an ad-
visory capacity. he Landed the work
of Frank A. Yanderlip, Bernard Ba-
ruch, John a. Ryan and others, bat
added:

longer put these men in the critical pO-

his honesty by any word or by any
deed. l think that The government has
been honOrably and well served by
these volunteers. think we have done
pretty well up to date but now we
should do better
1T is advisable, I believe, of course,
in the future to have the aid of these
big men. 1t has been said that one
of the great advantages of a democ-
racy is that it gives a chance for indi-
viduals. II democracy develops indl-
viduals then that individual is one of
its biggest assets, but if in time of war
we don't use these individuals, then of
what use is your democracy?"
