WOUND INSIGNIA
FOR SAILORS Is
DISAPPROVED OF

Washington. D. c., May 11.-Sec-
rotary Daniels has ruled against
creating special insignia for mem
bers of the naval force who are
wounded in action. On the theory
that sailors who escape the enemy
fire in many cases prove more val
orous than those who come within
the path of bullets. the bureau of
navigation has decided that no dis
tInguishing mark be awarded by
the department.
This view is shared by Secretary
Daniels, although numerous officers
of the naval service, following the
establishment of wound chevrons
by the war department, urged that
similar action be taken by the navy.
A service stripe for the present
war. however, is to be bestowed by
the department on officers and men
who are entitled to the honor.
1t was pointed out that Secretary
Daniels does not let an opportu-
nifty pass to officially commend men
in the service who show distin-
guished service, and that heroic
acts always are recognized by let
tiers of commentator to the men
or the awarding of the navy's media,
of honor.

WARNS FARMERS
AGAIN TO WATCH
SEED CORN USED

That the seed corn situation is
sui serious in Illinois is shown by
report from the state councils
seed corn administration. which is
ouylng, subject to test, all the good
seed corn 1t can lay hands on to
protect Illinois farmers against alb
solute lack Of seed. The report
says.
Up to the close of business April
Il. $685. bushels of corn had been
contracted for; 50.5S5 bushels de-
lVered; 81, 500 bushels tested and
accepted
More than twenty experts at the
University of Illinois are testing
the corn. Results show that less
than half of that which looks good
and passes the ordinary Jack knife
test is really good for seed. Farm
ers should take no chances. They
should apply the termination test
TO every ear of corn shelled for
seed and II they are not absolutely
sure of their own supply should
send an order at once to the seed
corn administration. 12O West Adj
ans street. Chicago. Z
The United States department
OF agriculture has signifed it's in
tention to provide sufficient funds,
IN addition to the financing provid-
ed by the state council. to create a
reserve supply of $4,000 bushels o.;
seed to be used for replanting pur-
poses. The purchase of this reserve
Will be handled through the state
council's seed corn administration
Through the efforts Of the seed
corn administration. the sale of
seed OF doubtful termination has
been stopped in many parts of the
state"
The foregoing clearly indicates
the state council is in position to
insure a good corn crop in Illinois
by providing dependable seed if the
farmers will act-learn their needs
and make them known.

Here comes the bride with her head
adorned by veil or by hat-as she
may e1ect-and her maids in yelled or
veilless hats; hers is the privilege to
decide which. Many brides have
chosen to wear lovely hats of ma.
lines or crepe with wells suspended
from the back, to be brought about
the throat and partly over the face.
They are followed by maids in wide
brimmed hats or quaint bonnets. But
no one expects the bride to forego the
stately wedding veil, and if she
chooses to wear it she may concede the
veilcd hat to her maids.
A very simple and sweet arrange
ment of the veil is shown at the right

band Of fine lace run with threads Of
silver, that borders small, close cap
of tulle. The long veil flows out from
the cap from the back, enveloping the
