External Charging.

External charging can be done from
an electric lamp socket if the current
Is direct, by the use of a resistance to
limit the current going into the battery.
If the current is alternating, rectifier
must be used to make it direct. Small
lamp socket rectifers are now made
quite reasonably.

PROPER CARE OF
BATTERY ON CAR
Must Be Kept Charged and Pre-
vented From Freezing.
TWO THINGS OF IMPORTANCE
Equipment Standing Idle for Any
Length Of Tina Loses Its Charge
Reading Is Indicated by the
Hydrometer.
H. E ANDREWS. Colorado Agricultural

College. Fort Collins. Colo.)
Many automobile owners do not real
Lze the Importance and necessity of
giving their starting and lighting bat
teries proper attention in the winter.
The battery is a delicate piece of ap-
paratus, and If mlstreated, will very
quickly depreciate.
Two things are Of prime Importance:
the battery should be Fept fully
charged, and it should not be allowed
to freeze. A battery when standing
idle for any length of time, gradually
loses its charge. Therefore if the car
Is not run regularly during the winter,
In order to keep the battery fully
charged the, engine should be run at
regular periods to charge, or else the
battery should be charged from an out
side source of current. This should
be done every two or three weeks.
Charge Easily Read.
The state of charge can be easily
read from specific gravity hydrome-
ter syringe, which can be purchased
for about dollar from an auto supply
dealer. A reading Of from 1850 to
1900 indicates full charge. The read
ing is indicated by the number on the
hydrometer at the level of the liquid.
If the battery is fully charged it is
not apt to freeze when the temperature
is above zero, Fahrenheit. 1t is best,
however, to take the battery from the
car and into the house in extremely
cold weather.

MANY ATTRACTIVE FALL HATS
Silk Embroidered Flowers, Combined
With Velvet or Satin, Among
the Latest Creations.

Many attractive models are includ-
ed in the early fall lines of the mil
linery wholesalers. For dress wear,
net hats with striking silk embroid-
cred flowers, combined with velvet or
satin, are seen in collections. Gains
borough effects, with decided turn at
the side, and models with slashed sides
also are shown, as is a shape with
wide sides, a short back and an en-
velope front. All of these shapes are
very large. Various effects in "tams"
are also included in the new show
ings, in black, navy and brown. They
are trimmed with ostrich tassels,
bands and tips, as well as with para
disc.
For tailored wear, turbans and
medium sized shapes are shown In
velvet and satin, combined with long
nap beaver. The brims and crowns
are made of satin or velvet, with the
flanges, facings and side crowns OF
beaver, sometimes in contrasting
colors. Among the trimmings of these
hats are wings and ribbon cockades,
as well as accordion-plaited ribbon in
fan-shaped arrangements.

JAPAN AFTER OUR FAN TRADE
New Creations Open in Regular Shape,
With Pictures Depicting Western
Manners and Customs.

Japan has been swift to profit by
the fact that Europe is not producing
and selling to America all the things
for which she has for centuries been
famed. One of the commodities that
she has. been especially quick in send
ing us is a supply Of fans Of various
sorts, notes a fashion critic. Real
Japanese fans and Chinese fans, too,
are charming, and really much more
attractive than some of the later ones
that she has so cleverly sent us. These
new ones open in regular fan shape,
and are printed or painted with scenes
supposedly depicting Western manners
and customs. No more wistaria and
chrysanthemums, no more Acknowledged
maidens in soft kimonos. No; these
new fans show supposedly American
women. One fan shows two women
sitting by a table in chairs. One OF
them is actually clad in a skirt and
shirtwaist quite in the most Western
fashion possible, and if one may judge
by appearances, she is trying to run
the Western world according to her
own plans, for she is most domineef
ing in appearance.
But of course there are the lovely
Japanese fans still to be found, un-
spoiled by any ideas of Westernism.

Dresses of Lace.

Lace dresses have never been quite
so much worn as this year-not the
real princess and Brussels patterns of
other years, but the net and lace and
embroidered nets one sees at country
clubs, roof gardens and other like
places of gayety. 1t is to be noted that
many of these fine dresses come semi
made, and as it is the fashion nova
days to have nothing tight-itting and
to give as much as possible the un-
corseted look the veriest amateur home
dressmaker can evolve this sort Of
summer frock easily.

Greatest Gathering Of
Women In The His
tory Of The Nation
Il Has Been Described As
An Assembly Of Beauty,
Brains, And Talents

The beauty. the brains and the
talent of nation were assembled at
Hot Springs, in the Biennial of the
General Federation of Women's
Clubs.
Never in the history of any coun-
try has there been assembled
such a gathering Of splendid women,
womsn who know things, wo-
men who do things, women who &C
complish the things that build a ma
ton.
Meeting as they do this year 1918
the women Of America find them
selves facing and coping with prob
lens never before presented to the
women of free America. They find
the nation engaged in a world war
for the safety of freedom and dem
ocracy They find the manhood Of
the nation shouldering arms and
crossing submarine infested seas to
fight for the right, to uphold the ira
ditions of Liberty, to make the
world a decent place in which to live.
And the women of America have
shouldered their big portion of the
burden.
No better evidence of this can be
found THANH n a glance at the pro-
gram for this Biennial, a program of
an organized purpose of patriotic
service, of national sacrifice and
help.
Voicing the call to nation Of wo-
men this Biennial has on its program
some of the most noted women lead
ers of America. some of the most tai
ented speakers, the tried and true
leaders, the workers in women's
sphere for bigger and better man
! hood and womanhood a greater and
grander nation.

Flag Of Italy Will Now Be
Flown

Through the Chamber Of Com
n1erce, the Italians of the city have
purchased a large beautiful flag of
their country. The emblem which
measures five by eight feet, was re-
ceived this morning.
The intense patriotism of the 1tal-
ians in this city has been such that
they have sorely felt the loss of a
proper representation of their coun-
try on the flag pole when the other
emblems of the allied countries are
flown upon public occasions. This
will never occur again and the 1tal-
ians are to have an early opportuni-
ty to show their colors-the Red
Cross parade tomorrow.
