Comfortable Sport Clothes.


Once upon time sport clothes were
rigid and forbidding. They meant
stuffy woolen materials, heavy hob
nailed footgear and unsightly hats
But we have changed all that. We
have elected to wear our so-called
sport clothes for so many different
occasions that, willy nilly. the design
ers have had to think more of making
them attractive than of making them
practical. So it happens that we can
readily play golf in a costume which
looks perfectly appropriate afterwards
at tea on the veranda of the smartest
country club in America. and the
sportswoman no longer has to hide
muddy. shapeless boots under the hem
of draggled tweed skirt, while her
sweetly feminine neighbor puts her in
the shade with her organdies and en-
broidered muslins. 1t is the latter
which have found themselves neglected.
and the woman who never had golf
club in her hands finds herself ordering
clothes for the links. because they are
the best looking and most comfortable
summer garments offered for her selec-
ton.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, January 14.-Adapta-
bility is quality always conceded by
the rest of the world to be typically
American. 1t is perhaps the quality OF
which we have. on the whole. the great
est reason to be proud. In country
of swift adjustments. of overnight
social changes. dramatic as they are
sudden, of lightning rises to power and
influence. and as precipitous descent
into oblivion. adaptability is an attri-
butte which is almost necessary to 'ex-
istence.
At any rate, modern life. as we live
it, demands that we shall be able at
moments notice to turn from one
thing to another. and our clothes have
kept pace with this development. No
where is this fact more noticeable than
in the garments which we don for
sport.

LIFE or. A SUBMARINE CHASER
Continued from page u


That complexities matters greatly as
we have to eat all cold stuff with
possibly cocoa to warm US a little.
The poor cook down in the galley
had TO hang by HI cyelashes on a
slippery deck at the same time that
he kept the pot OH the stove from
Overturning OF sliding off the stove.
All sea-going stoves Rave a little
metal rail running around the top
TO keep pote and Things from sliding
off. We have found that Sui. chaser
stoves have to have cross rods in adj
dition to them so that the pot can't
even start sliding.
| We ate out Of our hands for three
! OF four days at a time as it was
next to impossible to sit down and
eat in comfort. A deep plate would
hold all that I wanted and l braced
! my back against the pilot house and
chung on 50 that l would not fall to
the deck. Crackers, cheese and cocoa
was my main dish. 1t was easily
made and kept US up pretty we'll
Whenever it was possible we made
up for restricted rations and ate
heartily.
AS for sleeping in my bunk, it was
seldom done. In the first place it
was so hard to hang in that I got
out of it more tired than when [ got
in. The roll of the boat was so
much that it slammed me up against
the side of the boat and made me
ache all over if l did not hang on
tight. l shall have to devise some
way Of keeping myself in place
there. l did not take off my clohtes
very often on the way over.
When | am at sea | never take
my clothes off but turn right in
after removing coat and trousers
and shoes. 1t is not often that we
can have any comforts when under
way. We have to wait until we
get in port before we do that.
Washing is a hard proposition
| too. Hot water has to come up
from the galley and if the trip is q
r long one we shall have to economic
on wash water and save it all for
, cooking and drinking. Thirteen
days was the longest trip that We
made. But even if you have water
: you cannot put much of it in the ba-
sin for it will run out with the roll
Another thing, too, the overheard OF
the bason thru which the water runs
out gets air pockets in it and when
I the ship rolls the pressure forces the
: plug up and out. AS result we
had to stand with one finger on. thu
plug in order to get any water t.
: wash with at all.
Walking about on deck is a thing
1 Of which we do very little. In the
first place, as you remember, there

PRESS COMMENT
The Bandit and the Red Cross


Colonel Robert Perkins, Red Cross
commissioner to Italy, tells how q
Red Cross worker, having lost his
way in Rome, was waylaid in a dark
street by two bandits. They pointed
a pistol at his head and demanded
his money. He told them he was a
Red Cross captain. In a twinkling
the pistol was lowered and the rob
bers offered profuse apologies. No
harm would ever come to a Red
Cross worker if they could help It,,
they said. Thereupon they escort
ed him to safer part of the city,
and, doffing their hats, babe him a
very good night. The Red Cross
means nothing to the German except
an excellent target for aerial bombs
and torpcdoes. To the poor, igno-
rant Italian bandit, who lays no
claim to Kultur, it is sacred en-
blem. What better illustration OF
the depths to which the kaiser and
his followers have sunk than that
they do what crimianls of other ma
items will not do?-New York Globe.

STILL BATTALIONS"
1.-THE Wooden Crosses That Fret the
Fields of France"
(E. w. Hoinung, the English Novel
ist)

Go live the wide world over-but
when you come to die,
A quiet English chmchyard is the
only place to hei
l held it half a lifetime, until
through wars mischance
/ saw the wooden crosses that fret
the fields Of France
Il thrush sings in an oak-tree, and
from the old square tower
A chime as sweet and mellow salutes
the idle hour
Stone crosses take no notice, but the
little wooden ones
Are thrilling every minute to the
music Of the guns!
Outstanding at attention they face
the cannonade,
IL apple-pie alignment like Guards
men on parade.
But Tomrstones are Civilians who
Toll or sprawl or sway
AT every crazy angle and stage of
slow decay.
For them lie Broken Celumn-in its
plat of unkempt grass;
The tawdry tinsel garland safe
guarded under glass;
And the Squire's emblazoned virtues,
that would overweight a Saint,
On the vault empaled in iron-scal
ing red for want of paint!
The men who die for England don't
need it rubbing in;
An automatic stamper and a narrow
strip Of tin
Record their date and regiment,
their number and their name
And the Squire who dies for Eng
land is treated just the same.
So stand the still battalions; alert,
austere, serene;
Each with his just allowance of
brown earth shot with green;
None better than his neighbor in
pomp or circumstance
All beads Upon the rosary that turn
ed the fate of France!
Who says the war is over? While
others carry on,
The little wooden crosses spell but
the dead and gone?
Not while they deck a skyline, not
while they crown a view,
Or a living soldier sees them and
sets his teeth anew!
The tenants of the churchyard where
the singing thrushes build
Were not, perhaps, all paragons of
promise well fulfilled;
Some failed-through love, or liquor
while the parish looked
askance:
But-you cannot die a Failure if you
win Cross in France!
The brightest gems of Valor in the
Army's diadem
Are the V. C. and the D. S. o., M.
C. and D. C. M.
But those who live to wear them
will tell you they are dross
Beside the Final Honor of a simple
Wooden Cross.

new INDUSTRY
BREAKING THE SEASONS HEMP
: Is UNDER WAY.

Aberdeen. July 29.-George l..
Kemper reports that they are break
ing hemp on his farm nine miles east
Of the city and two miles south Of
Bath. The land was planted to hemp
and the International Harvester COM
pany is breaking the hemp straw,
separating the fibre from the stalk.
The machine consists OF a series OF
iron rollers which breaks the wood
out OF the stalk so that when II is
shaken 1t falls out. The fiber is then
put into bales and marketed that
way. Seven men are required to op.
crate the machine. The hemp was
sowed a year ago last spring. This
hot, dry weather Is necessary for the
breaking OF the hemp. The raising
Of hemp Is a comparatively new thing
in this state. The fiber is used In tbs
making OF rope and heavy cords and
at this time is a very profitable crop
