occupied territory In these countries.
The American Red Cross News Serv.

following appeal:
"Five thousand tons of clothing for
the destitute people of occupied Bel.

This is the objective of a drive to
be conducted by the American Red

lief commission, during the week be-
ginning Monday, September %. The
clothing drive of the Red Cross last
March brought In 5000 tons of gar

least as much more will be required
to clothe the 100000 people in the
occupied territory during the coming
winter.
AS In the previous campaign the
clothing will be collected by the chap
ters Of the Red Cross throughout the
United States, each chapter getting Its
allotment from Its division headQuar-
ters. There are Is Of these divisions
and each has already been appraised by
national headquarters in Washington

donated in large quantities in the last
clothing campaign, will not be accept.

When the snow files II will be met
By such rich and adequate headwear
rs appears In this group OF winter
time hats. II Is something of para
dox to call this season OF brilliant
millinery when dominant colors are
quiet, with only two or three among
them that can be described as bright.
But along with cold weather come
metal brocades and fur. They are spar
ingly used. but even so carry the sug-
gestion that belongs to rich stuffs.
Millinery borrows splendor from
them.
But millinery deserves TO be called
brilliant without consideration of the
soIors favored by fashion. Shapes are
-eally wonderful. the most subtly art
full and the most becoming that can
be imagined. They are brilliant In
themselves and the craftsmanship Of
trimmers deserves the same adjective.
In the group there are four hats and
three Of them are small or medium;
one is large. But the small hat pre-
dominates In a greater proportion
than three to one. Two Of these mod
els are designed for street wear and
two are more formal-but they are all
very wearable-that Is, they can be
made to do much service. At the up
per left Of the group a hat Of gray
relvet with upturned brim is faced

WOMAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY

The arrival in this country not
long ago Of Mrs. Adolphus Busch, the
multimillionaire widow OF 81. Louis
who had been living In Germany for
several years, brought to light an In
teresting situation which, so far as
there Is any record, has never before
actually existed in history. Although
Mrs. Busch, whose husband was the
famous brewer, AdOlphus Busch, and
who is herself the "Anheuser" Of the
widely known "Anheuser-B Busch" is
really the richest widow in the world,
with more than $60000,0O0 In money
and properties, yet her return to the

sirable to provide a material that can
be washed down In the same way as
concrete and yet provides a surface
that Is resilient and that will not be
come slippery.
Two Good Flooring Materials
There are two materials that have
been used for this purpose with con-
siderable success. One Is the cork
brick and the other is the treated wood
block. The wood block Is In various
forms and Is treated with many diff.
ferent substances Of which the most
common Is creosote.
Cork brick is made Of granulated
cork which Is mixed with refined as
phalt and then pressed under heavy
pressure into q brick. The brick Ia
very resilient and never becomes slip
perry and can be washed down with q
hose as it is waterproof.
The brick are laid up In q half-lnch
Portland cement cushion and the joints
between the brick are grouted.
In some horse barns a floor Of this
type Is laid over the complete barn
but In most cases a concrete floor is
placed in the barn outside Of the
stalls.
The frame Of the barn Is supported
on a good concrete foundation that is
carried down to spread footings below

the frost line. The walls are aIso
carried "a inches above grade and the
studs are placed on top Of this wall.
To protect the ends of the studding
and prevent them from rotting the
studs are placed in studding sockets
made of cast iron. These sockets are
imbedded In the concrete and present
one Of the best ways of constructing
frame barn structures. Holes are pro-
vided in the sides Of the sockets so
that they can be nailed to the upright
timbers. Post sockets are also pro-
yided for the double row Of posts
that run through the center of the
barn.
Stable Room for Cows.
Besides the horses this 'Pennsyi-
vania type" barn is arranged to stable
seven cows and a quantity of loose
stock. 1t is 20 by 40 feet in size on
the ground with a big storage NOW
overhead the same size as the founda-
ton including the stock shed.
This barn was built for a farmer
who raised fine HerefOrds and also
kept a number Of mares to raise colts.
He wanted a barn to store feed and to
furnish shelter for his Herefords and
stabllng for the rough farm brOnchos
In winter.
He wanted an open shed fronting to
the south. where tAe onEtls could en-
joy the sunshine On warm days, and
he wanted stock stable with a feed
rack for stormy days, and a few
stanchions in a separate stable for
the cows and calves, where he could
feed them differently. The arrange
ment as shown fitted into his stock
raising plans so he could keep the
breeding stock separate and feed ac-
cordlngly.
The stable part is built with solid
concrete foundation wall and floor,

HARVARD WINS 51ST
 ANNUAL REGATTA.
Defeats Yale by Two Lengths in War
 time Race at Derby.

The Crimson of Harvard triumphed over the Blue of Yale Saturday even ing in the annual boat race between the two universities, held under war time conditions in the new course above Derby on the Housatonic river, and it was verify wartime race, be- ing for distance of two miles instead of the usual four. The shell of the Cambridge men crossed the finish line two lengths ahead of Yale's, the time of the winning crew being 10 minutes and 5S seconds, while Yale finished in Il minutes and 4 seconds.
 It was the first tryout for the new course and the opinion prevailed that the course is a good one, despite a slight curve near the half mile mark.
 There was no observation train, no lane of yachts through which the crews rowed their last mile, no footing of horns and blowing of whistles at the finish and nothing that would remind the old college men of the New London events.
 The contrast was marked to a de- gree, but these are war times and the race, which was the first rowed since 1916, was thoroughly enjoyed.

Sunday afternoon at Ashland Park the Ashland team of Jewett City won their fifth straight game. with the All Norwich team of this city as the vic- tlms. Van Dyke. the former Worces- ter twirler, pitched masterful ball and although he gave twice as many hits as his opponents he kept the hits so well scattered that they failed to avail the visiting team anything more sub stantial than satisfa ction. Brooks of Norwich pitched gilt edge ball but spent himself and weakened toward the last of the game. Chase of Ash land and Caulkins of Norwich led in the batting. each getting two hits double and a single.
 While the Ashland team indubitably won, not one of their runs was of the earned variety while both of the local team tallies came as the result of cl can hits Ashland played good ball but they were outhit by the visitors. Of course it is not the best sports manship to criticise an umpire or otherwise crab, but if ever such ac- tions were justified it was Sunday. Patriotism and loyalty to your home town are fine things for the average citizen but when an umpire lets them interfere with the justice of his
 
 tues. Ashland has a good team and they have nice uniforms, but the same cannot be said of their grounds. The outfield has a more than gentle slope. left field being a particularly bad garden.
