Washington, March The sigma

viii recommend creation OF four signal
corps departments corresponding to the
six departments of the army.
The general headquarters of the signal
corps viii be in Washington. Its eastern
department viii comprise the same ter
ritory as the northeastern and eastern
departments of the army. The head.
quarters will be on Governors island.
It's southeastern department will be the
same as the army's southeastern depart.
ment. The headquarters will be in At
lanta or Charleston, probably Atlanta
Its southern department will be the same
as the army's southern department. The
headquarters will be in San Antonio. Its
western department will be the combined
central and western departments of the
army, headquarters Chicago.
The officers who will command the
new departments have been selected. but
their names have not been officially an
nounced. 1t is known, however. that
Brigadier General A. l.. Dade will be
placed in charge of one of the depart
ments. The other departments will be
headed by colonies who will be raised TO
the rank of brigsdier general. Colonel
w. J.. Chitty. who has been in command
of the four Kelly fields at San Antonio,
is one of the officers who will be pro.
NOTED and who will be placed in com
mand of one of the departments. An
other is Colonel II. O. Williams.
Tho oroVptb nf the Sirrnal oornS which
includes Americas great army OF the
air, has been greater than all other tech
meal branches. At the outbreak of hos
Utilities the signal corps was spending
small sums of money, and had only l40
officers and 3400 men. The latest figures, !
those made public a month ago, re-
veaed that the corps was spending a |
billion dollars and that its personnel at
that time comprised 10000 officers and |
10000 enlisted men.
The greatest popular interest in the |
signal corps is of course in the aviation
section, but it has many other duties.
They include installation, operation and
of military telegraph and
telephone system and radio shop and
shore stations installation and mainte
nance of target range communication
systems; supply of signal unit account
ability equipment of the several com
1onents of the army and supply OF mate
.ial for maintenance of fire control sys-
ems and radio and signal stations of
,oast defense.
Major General George o. Squier is the
.hief officer of the army. He is assisted
" Brigadier General Charles Mex. Salt
nan and many scores of other officers
allied from the regular army, National

this time or the summer
u many women find that their
clothes are beginning to look
bit shabby, especially those
which were purchased In May and
June. And yet II does seem q little
early to look for q fall frock and
velvet hat. For the in-between
seasons, 1t Is wise to hesitate about
purchasing new styles, until you
really know those that are here to
stay and meanwhile to renovate
your summer frocks for the last
Few weeks of warm weather.
Perhaps that sailor hat you
bought when they were so popular
q few months ago. is faded from the
sun and does not look altogether
smart as a sailor should. A pretty
red sailor that had faded to a mas
ty" rose shade received a new lease
on life by re-coloring the hat.
Cardinal red dye especially pre-
pared for hats was purchased at the
durg store for 25 cents.
The head was removed from the
hat and the straw carefully brushed
with q stif hat brush. Then il was
r0-colored with the dye, all over.
and allowed to dry for about an
hour. AS the hat cannot be laid
down whils drying. II was placed on
the top OF q clothes tree. When
dry the hat was as bright and
shiny as new,
A new hatband OF white-corded
ribbon about two inches wide was
used and tied into a pert little bow
at the right side. You scarcely
could tell the sailor" from new,
and still there was plenty OF the dye
left to renew the hat several times.
Hats of natural colored straw
may either be cleaned or dyed q
different color. One white pine
apple" straw hat that was very
much soiled was dyed a navy blue
and trimmed with a new poIkA-dot
band.
Frocks that have become faded
or dull may be bleached out white
and worn with gay-colored sweat
ers. A clever woman. who always
looks smart. confded In me that
she had bought no clothes this sum-
mer, except three bright sweaters,
two Of which were sleeveless.
She gathered up all her fiowered,
striped and figured frocks OF voile,
lawn and linen and boiled them un-
til they were perfectly white. A
pinch OF chloride OF lime in the
boiler helps to make them spot
less"
The white" dresses worn with
the sweaters kept her fresh and
dainty all summer.
But II you have q few white
frocks that you are stirred" OF wear

I'M repeated the scareerow,

Puss Juniors friends, the little bear
and the monkey, as well as the pig
who had been carrying them in his
little dogcart
"Well, I suppose now III have to

Puss, as the pig In his doscart is

there every night and In the morn
ing I come out to this field to keep
the crows from scratching up the
lollypop seeds" And then the scare
crow put the helmet back on his
head and turned to go. Come with
me II you WISH" he said to Puss.
'T'm off now for Lollypop Town"
So Puss followed him down the
road. and as they walked along the
scarecrow song:
"oh. the lollypops grow all along In
a row.
Red, white and blue and pink:

Well, pretty soon after that they
came to Lollypop Town and the
scarecrow asked Puss to spend the
night at his house. And in a few
minutes they came to little house.

just like q big candy box. for on
the front was painted the picture
OF a pretty girl eating q lollypop.
And Just then the door opened
and a pretty girl came out And.
would you believe II. the picture on
that little house was just like her.
@This Is Mrs Scarecrow," said the
scarecrow with a bow. isn't she

saw? I Just couldn't help but paint
her picture on the house And

mock and look at her picture and
say to myself. My boy, you're q

Don't talk so foolish. Jim Crow,
said his wife with a laugh and
blush, which Puss thought made
her prettier than ever.
Yes, she calls me Jim Crow"
said the scarecrow, although my
frst name is John, and not James"
And then he kissed her and patted
Puss on the ear. for he was a
mighty nice kind Of q scarecrow, let
me tell you, although a great many
people in Lo1lypop Town wondered
why she had never married him
But. then. that's what people always
do, so Pm told, even in Brooklyn
and Hoboken-
Well, after that, pretty Mrs.
scarecrow took them into the little
pasteboard house for supper, which
she had cooked all herself. for she
was so fond Of her scarecrow hus-
band that she wasn't afraid to work
for him.
And perhaps that's the reason he
loved her so much and worked 50
hard himself to keep tho crows from
eating the lollypop seeds in the big
fsId.

MADE a great deal Of money and
put her in big house with ser
wants and automobiles, but, Just the
same. he always kept that little
pasteboard house with her picture
