money, and we as citizens should ap-
preciate and be grateful for their
patriotic service,
There is urgent need for the gov
eminent to stop see-sawing in its
departmental work and get down to
a pull all together if war prepare
tons are to be fastened. The best
business men should direct this work
and systematic it so as to make all
departments run swiftly and smooth
ly, and most important of all keep
steadily running. 1t is costing this
country billions of dollars to get edu-
Gated into an efficient smooth rum
ming war-tims condition. and largely
through working at cross purposes.
There are brains enough b this
country to carry on this work with
the same efficiency that has made
successful our great industries. The
Captains Of Industry rather than
the Captains Of War should have full
charge of supplying the munitions
of war, clothing and food for the
army and navy, and the production
of all implements of warfare. These
giants of production never permit
departments. to run at cross pur-
poses. They all coordinate and the
stamp of efficiency is shown in every
turn of the wheel. 2l,000,000 pairs
of shoes ordered for the soldiers and
large percent of them are found
to be too small, for the standard of
sizes was the same as used in the Civil
war. This never would have hap.
pened had an efficient business man
been director of their purchase. A
standard Of sizes of today, not half
a century ago, would have been
used. This is but one instance. We
are not finding fault, only urging
the need of efficient men to direct
war work.

cloud of smoke-colored tul1e over jade
green silk. This rolls about the crown
in the form of a vague brim. A sim
gle large, brilliant pink rose is placed
at one side of the tuIle. and its color is
repeated in the chin veil, which drops
carelessly over the bodice of the rose
pink organdy gown. To give the fin
ishing touch of perfection to this cos
tune there is a smoke colored sash.
The amateur had better not attempt
this turban. 1t must be built by the
hands of a skillful milliner. 1t looks
comparatively easy to roll clouds of
tulle about brimless straw crown,
but even one who considers herself
clever at the trimming of a hat would
be wiser not to attempt it.
The attached veil, made from long
scarf of maline or silk net, is an easy
accessory for any woman to use. 1t
can go on wide variety of hats.

After we have worn it for a while,
we will forget that it was taken from

remember Ala Bahia and the Forty
Thieves, nor Marouf, nor the many

let We will simply say to ourselves
that the great tulle turban is some
thing that France devised and Amer
lea accepted. That is all the layman
cares bout many fashions. and it is
all that one needs to know, in order
to keep n fashion.
And yet, to the student of fashion,
one who thinks more of the source
than the adaptation, the incoming of
this immense turban and the new
harem veil, suggests long centuries. of
historical events that had to do with
the introduction of these fashions at
various cycles.

The truck that will transport
Americas army supplies is at work.
Officially, it is known as Class "B'
Military Truck. but it's pet name
among the army men who like it, is
truck B."
1t is for use in the Quartermast-
er's department only, but since this
department has charge of the trans
portation for the army. it means
that Truck B" delivers the goods to
our fighting forces. 1t is the heavi-
est of the quartermaster trucks. 1t

capable of carrying from three to
Eve tons.
Instead of waiting for railroad
Transportation, the Quartermaster
General is detailing officers and men
to drive the trucks overland. There
are two reasons for this. One is,
that it saves badly needed cargo
snace on the railroads; the other is
that the army officers are not only
making a test OF the trucks but
test Of the n1er who drive them.

Good MeatIess Lunch Dishes.
Edited by ANNE KITTENuoUsE.

Those of US who ate three meat
meals a day before the war have got
so out of the habit Of doing SO now
that even with plenty of meat on
hand for the present, we do not like
to use It more than once or possibly
twice n day. Bacon for breakfast is
probably more tempting to many of
us, now that meat is plentiful, than
meat for lunch. So we still plan a
meatless lunch in the strictest sense
CT the word.
Here are some good lunch dishes
that call for no meat:

Kindly permit me space in your columns
for few lines relative to the life and
death of Mr.. Grant. For twenty eight
years have had personal acquaintance
with him. He departed this life about
two weeks ago, aged about sixty five years.
From middle age till death, he was a
loyal member of the Methodist church.
During his protracted illness he was re-
markably patient. In his last hours a
spirit of joy and tranquility was fully
manifest.
He is survived by the widow, three
sons and three daughters. We feel that
our loss is his eternal gain.
