FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 15.- Captain Vernon Castle of the British Royal Flying Corps was killed today while flying fifteen miles east of here. The accident which resulted in his death was caused by his trying to avoid a cadet in another machine. Captain Castle swerved his machine until it got beyond his control, and he was unable to right himself and fell to his death. The cadet was un- injured.
 Irony of Fate
 Captain Castle had made more than one hundred and fifty flights over the German lines, and was the hero of many daring exploits in the war

RICE HIGHLY NUTRITIOUS

The importance of the place rice holds in the diets of of foreign coun- tries as staple food, says recent statement of. the department, would prove beyond doubt that it is highly nutritious; an analysis of rice sup ports this proof. Pound for pound, rice is about as nutritious as wheat. Every hundred pounds of cleaned rice contain S7.7 pounds of nutriment, while every hundred pounds of wheat contain S7.1 pounds. Wheat has the advantage in protein and rice in car bohydrates.
 Most of the American per capita consumption of six pounds per year is used in the southern states, in some of which it is on the table with at least one meal daily. In these states it holds the same place in the dietary that the potato does in the northern states.
 Rice as sold by most American grocers is a pretty grain, with a smooth and shiny surface, attractive to the eve, but it lacks the palatable- ness that makes foods popular. This rice has been so highly milled that it has been robbed of much of it's food value and of most of it's oily favoring matter, leaving a product known to the trade as polished rice, which to many persons is tasteless. Unpofish- ed rice is offered and accepted as a product superior to the polished rice, but in reality its food value is only better in a hardly perceptible de- gree.

DEMONSTRATION
 TOMORROW TOBE
 AT THE FOOD HUT

Tomorrow, Thursday, Sept. 26, at two-thirty o'clock the first demonstra- tion in the new headquarters of the City Home Economics Committee in the Food Hut on City Hall Green Is to be given. Mrs. L. Musante is going to demonstrate the making of the fa- nous Tomato, Conserve. A quart of this concentrated paste is equivalent to twenty-five quarts of the tomatoes canned in the regular way. Come and see how 1t is made. Miss Weed is going to demonstrate several ways of using the sugar substitute in our old recipes. The sugar situation as we are now having to face it pre- sents many serious difficulties. By attending these demonstrations you may secure little help, as a result of some extensive experimenting that the government has been doing. Ev- erybody Is most cordially welcome.
 The Danbury Fair: comes October ' to 12. Bridgeport is going to send down a large exhibit of canned ma teriaI. Every woman in the city Is invited to send a group of twelve cans or less to help boom this exhibit. Bridgeport has not sent a group ex- hibit before this hence 1t Is up to us to make our first one a notable one. Transportation facilities have been se- cured between Bridgeport and Dan- bury. If you will have your canned material plainly labeled, with your name and the name of the product on each can and carefully packed, pre- ferably in the boxes that the cans came in and have these canned goods at the City Hall Green in the Food Hut by Friday evening, Oct. 4th they will be taken to Danbury for you and returned to the Food Hut when the Fair is over. This is an excellent op- portunity to show the people of the State that though we are not an agri- cultural community we are success ful canners. All the eyes of the Ma ton are on Bridgeport these days. Let us show our neighbors that we can can as well as do the other huge things that the world is requiring of us. If you desire to enter your can ned materials or some cooked foods for prizes call on Miss Weed at the Food Center to look over the premium lists, which are long and varied, and learn the special requirements for the entries in the contests.

LADY EDWARD FITZGERALD

Toward the end of the eighteenth century women were prominent in the chancellories of Europe to a greater extent than they have ever been be- fore or since. The decisions of states men were effected in any number of cases according to the smiles of their lady loves, and in many cases these ladies were not theirs to love at all. And many of these ladies later came to grief. Such was the case of Lady Edward Fitzgerald, the celebrated Pamela, daughter of the Duke of Or leans, who was ordered in 1796 to leave the United Kingdom after a, ca reer that was notable for it's daring. At that time the courts of Europe were still excited over the attempted assassination of Robespierre and Call lot dHerbois by Cecile Regnault. This had. happened four years before. and the intrigues of women at the courts knew no end. For this req son Lady Pamela was expelled, flor the good of the Kingdom"

proving the imperfect thirty-six.
 The other method is by the clever manipulation of lines. It is aston ishing to observe what radical chan ges can be made in the silhouette by the simple changing of lines from V to square or round. The unshapely neck can be transformed into a re- semblance to finely rounded throat simply by raising the line of collar half an inch or so. The flat chest is given a becoming curve simply by raising the finishing line of the blouse more or less, according to the par ticular requirements of the figure.
 Thin arms can be given an illusion of pleasing plumpness, even when a short sleeve is desired, if the sleeve is finished at just the right point be- low the elbow, There are no exact rules as to the placing of these lines, for they depend upon the individual figure. but little experiment will show just how much difference these trifIing adjustments of line can make.
 Here. for example, Is a frock that Is severely economical of material Nevertheless, by virtue of the care, ful study of line in it's designing it Is a type Of gown that is entirely becom- Ing even to the slenderest model In 1 fact, the original costume was deyel- oped in color that the slender girl ! usually shrinks from if she has good taste-gray,. And yet, so cleverIy were the lines of the costume man. l aged that even in this trying color the costume is becoming to the slen- der woman. Ug%
 The frock Is of gray cashmere, and depends for its trimming on the per- sistently dominating square lines that are used throughout. The neck line is finished by square collar of clunv lace dyed pearl gray. The loosely | falling yoke is embroidered in gray chenille, five graduating squares forming the pattern. A gray chenille l string ties loosely in the back, giving a soft touch to the back of the neck. Even the hanging pockets repeat the ! square line. They are large, square shape, and are outlined with an em. broidery of gray chenille.
 The sleeves are long and finished with square cuff embroidered in gray chenille. However, this is not fas- tened tight at the wrist, as 1t would give an appearance of tightness to the
 entire sleeve. Instead, the cuff is open at the side, thus hanging loose.
 The one touch of color in the dress
 is the belt of leaf-green cashmere and suede.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Remove the top of an apple box and the top of one side of a cracker box. Stand the apple box on end and place the cracker box on top and nail se- curely. This makes a splendid big chair for a child, as it brings the child at exactly the right height to eat from the table. Such a chair can be made quite attractive by covering with all burlap. using brass-headed tacks. Such a chair comes in handy when visitors come with little ones.
 Begin to sew on the right side and sew back and forth several times be- fore you begin to sew through the button. The knot will be under the button and not on the wrong side to be rubbed off in laundering. In sew ing buttons on coats. sew over a match or toothpick and wrap thread for a shank.
 When sweeper brush bristles become soft from long use and no not sweep up pieces as we'll as when stiff, put a. little common baking soda in some hot water; take the brush out of sweeper and dip it up and down in this. Let it dry in the sun and it will be like new. Hair brushes or any brush can be treated in the same way with the best of results.
 When necessary to iron a rough dry garment at once, dampen it, roll tight, wrap in a. cloth, then in paper, and set it in the oven while the irons are heating. Evaporation will cause i 1t to be thoroughly dampened in a very few minutes. but care must be taken not to have the oven too hot. To prevent a plate from slipping when set on a cake of ice in the re- frigerator. place an ordinary rubber ring. such as is used on fruit jars, | just under the plate.

quently, 1t is necessary to depend on other things to give the illusion of roundness and plumpness where these things do not exist.
 There are two ways of creating this illusion. One is by the use of color. Vivid colors. like the many tones of blue between navy and azure extremes greens and others can be deftly handled so that they round out the figure. Checks, stripes and plaids are another interesting device for im-

Diary of a Fashion Model
She Learns How Square Lines Aid Slender Figure
3 By GRACE TKoRNCLIFFE

There's despair among some. of the very slender young debutantes over the style of scant skirts. For both fashion and patriotism have ordered that every frock shall be made with the smallest amount of fabric pos sible in order that cloth shall be con- served.
 Heretofore the excessively slender ones were lavish in their use of folds and drapes and multiple tunics and overskirts to supplement natures omissions on the figure. But super fluous folds or draperies are now in the class of wilful waste. Conse-

Conquers Rheumatism In a Very Few Days

It is an established fact that small dose of Rheuma taken once a day has driven the pain and agony from thou sands of racked. crippled and despair ing rheumatics during the last seven years.
 Powerful. yet harmless. quick act ing, and inexpensive, Rheuma gives blessed relief almost at once. The magic name has reached nearly every hamlet in the land and there is hardly a druggist anywhere who cannot tell you of almost marvellous cures.
 If you are tortured with rheuma- tism or sciatica, you can get Rheuma from Hartigan's Drug Stores or any druggist, with the understanding that if it does not completely drive rheu- matic poisons from your system money back.

REUVENATTNG A FLOOR.

It is quits possible to convert q dingy, dark, ola floor into a very at tractfve one, golden brown in color. In the first place. it should be carefully and thoroughly cleaned. Next paint the floor over with one coat of thin, white paint This must be so very thin that it will resemble a sheer gauzy veil. Let that dry, then give the floor two coats of orange shellac Of course the first one must be all lowed to dry before the second is put on. This will not only change an ugly floor into an attractive one, but will give.it good, hard finish.

mendous impetus to metropolitan aqua
tics.
1t is evident that Miss Durack is will
ing to oblige as many OF her hopeful
rivals as possible. Her only stipulation
thus far has been that she does not
care to swim less than 100 metres. 1t
seems that the 25 and so yard dashes
are indifferently regarded in the Antip-
odes, in spite Of the fact that in an
exhibition Miss Durack has been timed
over the half-century in the marvel
lously fast time of II and % seconds.
Since the United States has two ex-
ceptionally fast swimmers at 25 yards
and so yards in Dorothy Burns, Of Los
Angeles, and Charlotte Boyle, respsc-
lively, perhaps later the Australian
worlds champion may change her mind
and accommodate these two young
ladies.
Miss Wylie brings tale Of new back.
in Australia which depart from ac-
cepted practice in that the swimming
is done entirely with the feet. This is
no doubt taken from the life guards
book and contributes in practicability
what 1t very probably lacks in grace
and form.
She declares that in Australia the
breast-stroke championship is use1
over the 100-yard course instead Of the
double century, as it is here. Most
swimming experts are inclined to agree
that the 200 yards requires too much
Of sustained strain and that the dis
tance should be shortened.
Duke Kahanomoku needs no intro
duction to American. swimming vo-
taries. It was he who put the Stars
and Stripes in front in the aquatic
races in Stockholm, and his famous
crawl stroke is the accepted form
among American swimmers. The tour
he has arranged in behalf Of the Rec
Cross is most commendable. Starting
at San Francisco, he will go to Seattle
and thence to Canada. where he will
show our allies to the north some o.
his celebrated speed. He returns to ths
United States at Chicago, and then viii

delphia. A party of swimmers will
travel with him who are now known al
