DOUBLE THE CROP TO BE
VICTORIOUS IN THE WAR

IL German army were landing on
Long Island our inertia would vanish.
We would stop discussing what's going
on in Russia, and worrying about
who's going to pitch for the Giants
we might even cut out the movies, or
the cabarets, for night or two. We'd
drill and shout and work and very
likely fight and die.
The situation confronting us is just
as serious, though not as dramatic, as
If Hindenburg were advancing on Bay
shore. Hunger is just as deadly an
enemy as the Hun.
Food is our most important asset
and weapon. The only way we can
get food is to plant it, cultivate it and
harvest it. But the farmer claims he
can't get labor to do this work.
To any mind capable of comprehend
ing the startling news that two and
two are four, 1t would seem that the
vital thing to do is to get labor to the
farmer, and get it to him quickly so
he can plant his crops. If he doesn't
plant soon he can't plant at all.
Now we can't do this as individuals,
but we can get together and ask the
government to do it. Draft the ex-

Once upon time-that Is before
The war-nothing ever presumed to
dispute the supremacy Of the tailored
suit for street wear, and nothing will
ever outclass 1t. But tailored suits
require men to make them and in
France the men were gone to war.
So 'the dressmakers dress" came in,
the one-piece, daytime frock made its
appearance on the street. We have
gone further now, as war has COM
PEELED economy, and we have two-in-
one frocks and daytime frocks that
are evidently made for street wear in
place Of suit.
Both a tailored suit and daytime
frock for street wear are shown in
the Illustration as examples Of good
styles for young women. In the suit
the coat is made interesting by point
ed panels at the back and front, over
tapping pointed side pieces and fin
ished with rows Of large bone buttons
In its skirt. The sleeves are long and

The dress Of navy blue satin is

In millinery, as in other things, the
seasons styles have gravitated toward
few types that have established
themselves and will last as long as the
summer lasts-and perhaps longer.
One may be sure Of them anywhere.
Among them are wide-brimmed and
moderately wide-brimmed sailor
shapes, small hats that have sugges-
ton Of the poke bonnet in their lines
and the cloche or drooping-brimmed
bell shape, with its brim little wider
than in the beginning Of spring. These
persist among others that are almost
as popular; as small turbans and me-
dium-sized turbanlike shapes with spir-
tied brfm lines and coronets.. The last
Is a type that women of middle age
like best.
Plenty Of variety appears In these
favored shapes in popular hats. One
does not look for eccentricities in the
shapes themselves; but in the trim
mings all sorts Of pretty whims find
expression, especially among street
hats. An example Of this appears In
the smart hat with curled quill trim
ming that is shown in the accompany
Ing picture. This model has been made
In black and In several colors--each
hat all in one color-with brim and
side crown Of caterpillar braid, facing
and top crown CT satin. The quill
that trims 1t Is of the same satin and
Is the spice Of the creation. It departs
from the way Of quilts, leaving their
straight and narrow path to follow a
willful spiral of its own.
A beautiful wide-brimmed hat Is
made of crepe georgette faced with
braid. The upper part of the crown is
covered with folds Of crepe and the
lower part with smooth band Of 1t
that makes a perfect background for

UNKNOWN HERO
WINS CITATION

his life's sacrifice and the others did
not. This is the story:
On August 26, 1914, during the fore
noon, the First battalion of the Seven
ty-ninth regiment of infantry, which
had been decimated at Morhange, was
hastily reformed in the vicinity Of
Observation-Disclosures from a contin-
gent of reserves which had been
rushed up.
That evening before the original
members Of the battalion had had time
even to get acquainted with their new
comrades, the battalion was engaged
by the Germans in a violent surprise
attack on the heights of the farm Of
Saint-Eypre, near Luneville.
About five in the afternoon the ad-
vanced line of the battalion took shell
ter back Of little ridge, which pro-
tected it from the Germans, who were
only 100 yards ahead. A veritable
storm, both Of rifle and artillery fire,
whistled constantly over the heads Of
the sheltered French battalion.
Suddenly, from out of the ranks Of
the Third company, an unknown re-
servist, who had Just arrived that
morning, leaped to the summit Of the
little ridge under which the battalion
was resting.
Dropping to his knees, with a pipe
hanging from his mouth, he began
TRANQUILITY to fire shot after shot into
the ranks Of the Germans, just 100
yards ahead.
CONSERVATION reigned in the ranks
of the First battalion Of the Seventy
ninth. Then, the officers recovering
from their surprise, loudly ordered the
man back into ranks.
But the latter, without ceasing for
an instant his firing and without even
dropping his pipe from his mouth, bel
lowed back:
Leave me alone. I'm an expert
marksman and want to do something
for my country while I have such a
fine chance to do It."
From the very first instant Of his ap-
pearance on the summit of the ridge the
rifle fire Of the entire regiment of Ger
mans was centered on him. Yet for a
full five minutes he continued tran
gully to fire with sure aim into their
ranks before he finally fell riddled
with bullets, the stock of his rifle shat
tered into splinters and his pipe
knocked from his mouth as he rolled
over on the ground.
A moment afterward, the Seventy
ninth leaped again to the assault and
drove the Germans down the ridge.
That night the Seventy-ninth buried
their hero on the summit of the ridge
where he had fallen. There was moth
ing about his person to indicate his
identity. His deed of heroism was sig.
nailed to the ministry of war. The min
istry of war did everything in its DOW,
er to identify the soldier, but without
results. Unwilling that the sacrifice
