Why They Were Laughing.

While the residents Of the riverside.
in the neighborhood Of Claremont,
were talking Of the daylight-saving
edict one day, and asked one another
seriously If 1t would be really and
truly patriotic to 60 for the morning
canter on the bride path an hour ear
lier, some one noticed little group Of
persons, evidently from out Of town.
standing around lamp post near the
approach Of Grants tomb and inspect.
ing the post rather curiously. "Now,
1 wonder what they can be looking at,
or looking for!" asked one of the
habitues Of the Claremont, woman
in riding habit, who had just returned
from her recreation. Her companion
took out his watch and observed that
It was exactly % minutes to noon.
Yes said the horsewoman, "25 min
utes to ~, you are right with the clock
in the cupola of the ferry house. But
what has that to do with these peo-
ple?" Nothing unusual about this"
said she laughing. ''but 1t explains the
strange conduct of these people. No
doubt they are wondering how we do
1t and why we do it."-New York
Times.

In these days Of motor car supremacy
riding habits are little spoken Of and
the motoring costumes have the front
page Of the fashion sheets. But with
the price Of gasolene soaring to unat-
tainable heights and with pleasure cars
being frowned upon as almost unpatri-
otto. it looks as If riding habits would
have rejuyenation.
And everything, to be correct, must
have its military touch this year, hats
are helmet shaped, shoes have military
heels, suits have military belts, the
military capes are the rage and now
comes the military riding habit. It is
fashioned Of brown covert cloth and
has decidedly military touch in the
belted coat. The detachable cape adds
greatly to the effectiveness Of the habit
The brooches altho belonging dis
tinctively to such costume are gain
ing popularity for garden wear, and for
uniforms Of women in various kinds Of
war work. When worn for gardening
or farm work smock usually replaces
the coat. The leather ieggings and
mannish shoes which complete the out
At are also worn with the farm outfit.
The garment is designed for three sea-
son wear. but is really too warm for
anything but early spring and fall

Why ceIIulold Collar !. Back.

It has remained for the drastic need
Of war economy to bring the celluloid
collar to high degree Of serviceability
and good looks. A flexible, fine cotton
fabric collar so treated with cellu-
loid preparation as to look exactly like
the standard linen and whose life Is
from one to two months, has been pro-
duced.
This collar may be worn all day,
dipped in hot or cold water at night.
cleaned with damp towel and quick
ly dried, ready to be worn the next
morning, as fresh and white as the
day it came out of the collar box.
The inslstent demand from army
and navy officers for dress collar
which will have dull, refined fabric
finish of linen and yet stand unflinch-
ingly under war service on parade, in
automobiles and in the trenches, has
made such collars popular.

THICKER THAN WATER
Why snappy Phrase Coined by Ameri.
can Captain Has Been Rendered
Practically Immortal.

There are few phrases more deeply
imbedded in the language Of the peo-
pie than "Blood Is thicker than water"
The man who coined it has just had
destroyer Of the navy named after
him-Captain Josiah Tatnall. Conse-
quently, the Tatnall will always recall
the phrase as much as the man who
first used 1t. The story Of the origin
Of the phrase is an old one and need
not be repeated. One reflects, how
ever, that phrase making in itself is by
no means an exceptional gift enjoyed
only by people Of high station. Many
humble folks are very clever at saying
things pithily. An occasion Of sufficient
moment is necessary to enable phrase
to catch the public ear and usually
such an occasion Is the opportunity
only Of persons Of high or temporarily
important station. Captain Tatnall
had one fieeting chance to say great
thing at the right moment, and 50 he
enriched the language for all time

How Londoners Act In Fog.

In one Of the densest fogs ever
experienced III the suburbs Of London
a number Of accidents and strange ad-
ventures were reported. In one case
q woman walked into the river at
Richmond, where she was employed,
while trying to find her way to the
street car station. Here cries were
heard by a wounded sergeant in the
South African forces, who pluckily
Jumped in and rescued her. With
nightfall the confusion to traffic be-
came very serious. Many persons
AlIghting from street cars formed FOG
queues" and headed by some one
with lighted candle or torch started
to walk to their destination. Thou
sands Of persons were obliged to pro-
coed to their homes on foot; many
lost their way, and eventually found

SUCCESS OF THE FLYEA&.


In speaking recently regard
ing the medical aspect Of n.y.
ing. Sir Watson Cheyne. the
famous English doctor, among
other interesting things states:
AN important thing Is the ne
cessity Of having true binocular
vision, especially when travel
ing at q great speed, and of
having & very rapid connection
between the sight and the &C
ton; in fact. in selecting pi-
lots, one Of the most important
points to ascertain Is whether
the blnocular vision Is good, and
also the time 1t takes between
the aviator seeing and taking
action. Very often 1t has been
discovered that one eye Is not
used ut all. Many people are
going about with one eye and
are not using the binocular vi
sion; that is an extremely dan
yeroIs thing. You could not al.
low q man to enter the air serv.
Ice unless you found he had
proper binocular vision; other
wise he would kill himself and
smash his machine" The state
ment, 1t is held by some. Is
fallacy. The possession Of
nerve has more to do with the
success Of an aviator than mere
physical strength or keen W.
sion. Many trst-class pilots
have had sight and one at least
has but one eye.-Scientitic

In his last hour he spoke of the
