RENoVATING THE "HARD" HAT
Home Mllllner Can Remedy Defects
and Make Top Piece Stylish
and Becoming.

No woman can well afford to make
herself look "hard," and there is moth
ing that will do 1t quicker than a
"hard" hat. You know the kind, mas
culine and unbendIng In every line.
Perhaps you have made an unfOrtun-
ate purchase of the kind. SO these
general hints on renovOtlng may help.
Usually the unbecomlngness of this
type Of hat centers in the crown,
which may be too tall or unbecOmlng-
-ly stlft, or both. The home mllllner
can remedy both those things by re-
placing the stlffened side of the crown
with a softer material like satin an
tIque, which Is ever so mOdIsh for
hats Just now, or with velvet. Usual
ly it is advisable to use the old lid"
Of the crown for stay. Now cut
your new material of the desired
height and half as long again as the
circumference of the 'lill." Gather
it on cord and secure to the latter,
After that you can shlr 1t both for

Quilted Velvet on Hats.

Quilted velvet is used for both
crown and brlm Of some of the au-
tumn hats. One specially effective
hat, Of taupe velour, is made in a
modified trlcorne shape, with the
three-slded brlm only slightly rolled
up. A third of the brim is of heavily
quilted and padded velvet, and a
wing is fastened fiat against the up
per side of the brlm just at the edge
of the quilted part, Shocking and
shlrring, as well as quilting and pad-
ding, are used in other new models.
The hats so treated are usually rather
large, soft shapes.

find, there was only one. That is, the
Hun had only one chance of meeting
a ship where he had 25 before. And
If he did meet the convoy he found
1t usually with a naval escort, whose
sole business was sinking submarines.
He found, too, rs lookouts on watch
for him, 25 sets Of guns ready for him,
where there were but one each before.
1.-THE usual convoy formation was in
columns in rough square. This was
the most compact, and the inside ships
were practically immune from attack.
The escorts clrcled the convoy, II
necessary, and the outside ships con-
centrated their fire on any submarine
that appeared.
Conveys were made up at different
speeds, and even the rustiest old
tramps were provided for in slx-knot
class.
''In spite of this, some captains I'M
aginntiOn always tackled a couple Of
knots to their ships speed. There

AS WAR RESULT

Poronto.-It is a new Canada that
emerges from the world war-a nation
transformed from that which entered
the conflict In 1914.
More than $4,000 of her sons lie in
soldiers graves in Europe. Three
times that number have been more or
less incapacitated by wounds. The
cost OF, the war In money is estimated
to be already $1,1OO,OOO,O0O.
These are not light losses for c0un-
try of 100000 people. Fortunately,
there is also a credit side.
Canada has found herself" In this
war. She has discovered not merely
the gallantry Of her soldiers, but the
brains and capacity and efficiency Of
her whole people. In every branch, in
arms, in industry, in finance, she has
had to measure her wits against the
world, and In no case has Canada rea-
son to be other than gratlfied.
OF the glory that Is Canada's because
of the gallantry and endurance and
brains of her boys at the front not the
half has yet been told. "The most
formidable fighting force in Europe"

From Time It Left

New York.-With the need Of Sc
crecy ended by the cessation Of fight
Ing ION land, on sea and in the air"
the methods used to battle the Hun
submarines have been revealed by Of
6cers Of the United States shipping
board. They made public the details
Of convoy management and the proper
camouflaglng Of grouped ships to make
their destruction by undersea craft
difficult.
One of the officers begins his de-
scrlption of a convoy's activity from
the time 1t left the port of New York.
"Once we were out in the stream"
he says, 1--WE headed down the chan
nel for the llghtship, beyond which
our convoy and escorts were waiting
for us. All were slowly under way
when we reached them. The ships Of
different columns took their places,
and after a few minutes confusion,
and lively work on the signal halyards
the other ships Of the convoy got into
place.
Guarded above by dlrlgibles, hydro
planes and anchored balloons, and on
the surface by a feet Of patrol boats
as well as our ocean escort, we pro-
ceeded, and America soon dropped be-
low the western horizon.
"As in the army we have turned
back to medieval helmets and armor,
so on the water we have turned to
medieval naval tactics; but instead Of
conveys Of Spanish galIeons and fri
gates Of the seventeenth century from
the new world to the old, our conveys
were American transports and de-
StrOyers.
ut Is not hard to see why the con-
Voy system was effective. Take the
case of convoy of 25 ships az Is the
largest number I've heard Of in one

fellow ship in the convoy on our
quarter on exactly the same courses
we were, but on account Of her eamOu-
fiage she appeared to be making right
for US on a course at least forty-tive
degrees different from the one she was
actually steering.
"The deception was remarkable even
under such conditions as these, and of
course a U-boat, with its hasty limited
observation, was much more likely to
be fooled

Is not phrase Of empty words. Char
acterlstic Of all that has gone before
Is the fact that the last act before the
curtain was rung down on the drama
or war should be the capture Of Mons
by the Canadian corps. No Canadian,
when he heard that 1t was reserved
to Canadians to retrieve the great
tragedy to the original British army
In August, 1914, but felt his pulse
jump and the red blood surge through
his veins.
These boys who went from Canadian
firesides, who never heard the japgle
OF sword previous to 1914, In the last
four months have met the flower of
the German army, vauntlng warriors
who had given their lifetime to prep
aratlOn. Divisions totalIng one-fOurth
of the entire German army were in
this period met In succession and van
qulshed by four divisions from Can
ada.
Nor have the people at home been
tagging behind the boys at the front
In courage, resOurcefulness and efIi-
cheney. The development of CnnadN's
war industry is an Industrial romance
Of front rank. American government
officials can testify to the efficiency of
the manufacturing plant Canada has
built up In four. short years. In de-
partment after department, where they
found American industry failed them,
they were able to turn. to Canada. The
full story may be revealed some day.
In finance, Canada before the war
was always a borrower and expected
to be so for many years to come. But
for year and half Canada in finance
has been ION her own" More than that,
she has been furnishing large credits
to other nations.
Having trlumphed over the soul
testing crises of war, Canada faces an
era Of peace with more than confidence
with buoyancy.
A vast program Of reconstruction
and Of development awaits. The
country is eager to get at 1t and Is
impatient for the government to give
the word. Public works of tremen-
dous Importance, silent since 1914, Rre
awaiting labor soon to be available.
Shipbuildlng, railway equipment, steel
production and many other industries
will, under proper direction, go for
ward with a bound.
A Canadian commission under Lloyd
Harris, fresh from Washington, is
headed for Europe for the purpose Of
securing orders for Canadian indus
