Spain 10 Buying Pianos.

The American government Is buying
mules and blankets In Spain and pay
Ing for them with pianos made In the
United States. according to George w.
Pound, manager Of the National Piano
Manufacturers association. in calling
attention to Of the striking devel-
opments at the present time In this
cOuntry's export trade.
"As Is the case with neutrals gem
orally" Mr.. Pound said, much Of
SPANS population has profted largely
by the war. and the demand for pianos
has persisted In spite Of the fact that
the prices Of all musical instruments
In Spain have doubled and trebled
since the war began"
Mr.. Pound said that the American
manufacturers were thereby offered an
unusual opportunity to help the gov
eminent pay the wal bills as we'll az to
meet the foreign demand for our goods.
In this connection, Mr.. Pound said. pl-
ano manufacturers can only export
their pianos through government u.
Cense.

DEPTH CHARGES EFFECTIVE
Narratives From Reliable Sources Re.
flute German Assertion Of
lneffectivenesa.

London. - Interesting narratives
from reliable sources refute the Ger
man assertion regarding the alleged
ineffectiveness Of depth charges and
other methods Of destroying subma-
rines.
On n bright moonlight night a Brit
ish patrol boat observed a submarine
half a mile distant. apparently re-
charging. The captain Immediately
ordered full speed in the direction of
the U-boat, with the object of ram
ming her before she was able to sub
merge. The U-boat succeeded In sub
merging, but the patrol boat came up
and dropped six depth charges and
then fired Il shell ut the center Of the
visible disturbance. Large quantities
of oil came to the surface and cries
for help were heard. Only m survi-
yor was found.
A British submarine recently
rammed an enemy submarine. The
British boat cut through the enemy's
plates and remained Embedded. Both
endeavored to extricate themselves.
The enemy, through using his ballast
tanks, almost came to the surface,
bringing the British submarine along.
Then the German drew away In great
difficulty. apparently frantically en-
deavoring to keep afloat. but subse-
Quently sank.

CHOICE Of COL0RS
Blondes and Brunettes Demand
individual Shades.
Relation Of Effect Of Hues on Various
Compilations Should Be Considered
In Making Selections

In costume the beauty Of a color
should not be considered alone, but
In relation to the effect 1t has upon
the complexion Of the person who is
to wear it, observes a fashion critic.
The instructive craving for color, Is
natural and should be gratif1ed, but
not at the sacrifice of harmonious ap-
p%earance. There Is no complexion,
however, attractive or commonplace
and uninteresting. but may be Inn
proved by a selection Of the color best
suited to the particular complexion.
Individuals fall In two general types,
blonde and brunette, and each of these
two types is again divided into
several types. The combination Of
the complexion with the various
hues Of hair, and the color in the
eyes, is what makes a persons APP
pearance distinctive and interesting.
The wide difference In the complex
ions Of blondes and brunettes makes
1t impossible for them to wear the
same hues. Each season brings cere-
tain popular colors, and blondes and
brunettes alike rush for them re-
gardless Of the effect these colors
have upon their complexion. Color
has the same effect upon complexion
that certain chemicals have upon
water. For example, certain hues Of
red will bring out the yellow In the
face Of one blonde, while in the faces
of others it emphasizes green or per-
haps purple, O makes one ashen, the
hair becoming dusty looking, and
lustreless. Because Of the marked
difference in types and because color
affects each individual differently,
no set rule can be given for the
choice of harmonious colors. The
right choice OF color is largely q
matter Of individual study.

Keeping the Patterns Under Cove

Keeping the Patterns Under Cover.
How to keep old patterns Is N Of
the most troublesome problems Of the
sewing room. They accumulate from

when wanted. There are pattern bags
that come that provide q series Of

be slipped. but as these must be hung
on the wall they become dusty after q
while and render the patterns disa.

q box letter file. where they may be
placed away In orderly arrangement

from getting dirty and enables them to

ISANC|ENT CUSTOM
No One Knows Who Originated
the "Round Robin"
Long In Use on shlpboard Tor Deter.
mining Each Sailors Watch-often
Employed In the Form
OF Petition.

That watch kept on board ship at
night, while lying at anchor, Is called
the anchor watch. Generally speaking
1t consists Of one officer and one sea-
man, whose duties are to watch out for
the safety Of the ship, see that the
anchor light Is kept burning brightly,
and take care that the vessel does not
drag her anchor. If there are eight
hours of darkness to be covered and
eight men constitute the crew, these
men are required to watch one hour
each. If there be more or less men
the question arises who Is to 60 IN
watch first or last, or, perhaps, who
Is to clay over" until the next day.
1t thus becomes necessary to ascer-
tain who is to 60 on duty at a Ger
tain hour and each man must know
when his turn comes. Arrangement
for this is made by forming a "round
robin" Or putting 1t In another way,
by "chalking for watches" which Is ac-
complished In such a way that each
sailor has the time for keeping his
watch determined by lot. one not be-
ing favored more than another. The
thing is decided in this way:
One man draws a large circle on
the lid Of q. chest, or. If that Is not O n
venient, the deck. The circle Is sub
divided into as many divisions as there
are men; and each nan makes his
mark in one Of the spaces. This may
be q cross, a circle, a triangle, or any
other sign that will suffice to identity
him. q .-s
During the time the sailors aret
placing their marks within the division
of the circle, one Of their number Is de-
tanned outside on deck and kept In
ignorance Of the identity of any ~
thor Of any mark. When all have
made their marks the round robip Ii
complete. The man who was on deck
Is now called, someone else having
made a mark for him. This man now
proceeds to erase the marks. one b.,
one. The owners OF the marks are
numbered from number one up, In suc.
cessiOn, as he erases them, and their
numbers are chalked up on the sides
Of the berths; those above number ten
lying over until the next night. As the
man who erase the marks does not
know who made this or that, he can
not show any partially. -
The round robin Is sometimes put to
other use when the crew Of a vessel
at sea wish to present a grievance In
the form Of Q petition to the captain
Their complaint Is made out In writ
Ing. and the signature put In the form
of a round robin, which prevents the
writer Of the document from being
singled out and treated. as a rfnglead-
er. with undue severity. A famous case
In example Of similar use Of the round
robin In the army within recent times
was the Roosevelt Round Robin" dur.
ing the Spanish war.
Where the custom originated no one

that the war is lost to Germany. This
is proved by the financial news that
comes from Geneva. Swiss banks

and bank funds sent them from Ger
many and Austria for safekeeping.
The "vons'' would not have rushed
their funds to a neutral country had
they not known the war waslost, for
their was a heavy loss on the trans
action. German and Austrian money
is now at so great a discount that
Germans lose 48 per cent, and Aus
TRANS So per cent. That is. a num-
Der of German marks which would
in peace times exchange for 1000
francs in Switzerland will now ex-
change for only $40; and a numper
of Austrian crowns which should be
worth 1000 francs are now worth
only 40.
