Need for More Consuls.

The hairman of the shipping board
has called the attention of congress
and the people To the need of enlarg-
ing our consular service abroad, in
view Of the fact that our great mer-
chant marine will be released for use
in foreign trade.
Mr.. Hurley tells us, observes the In
dependent (New York;, that the Uni
ted States will have 250OO,OO0 tons of
merchant shipping by the end of 1920,
and t,at as fast as these ships can be
freed Trom military work they will en-
ter commerce. The present cOnsulates
would be entirely inadequate To handle
this enlarged business. There are not
small and they are handicapped by in
experience with duties that will be de-
manded and by Anticipated regulations.
Even now the burden of work. espe-
cially in the way>of inquiries TO be an
swered. is overtaXing the undermined
and underpaid force. Mr.. Hurley
therefore pleads that immediate steps
be taken TO remedy the situation.
1--WE need more consuls and larger
consular STATS he tells us. IF we do
not provide them today and prepare
for the great growth in our merchant
marine and trade after the war, | fear
that we shall suffer a serious break

CHAPTER VI.
Prince Awaken. The Corners.

Campmeeting time was over, and
the church at The Corners was to open
for its regular Sunday services.

"You should not say such things, es.

Carolyn May, however, seemed not
to have heard Uncle Joe's pessimistic
remark: she was too greatly excited
by the prospect Of Sunday school. And
the very next weekday school would

NO DISGRACE TO FEEL FEAR
One Result Of War Has Eeen Saner
Idea OF What Constitutes
Real Bravery.

An English observer calls attention
TO the fact that our world wal has
destroyed the fear Of being afraid.
Heretofore, ever Ia most distant an-
tiquity, the one quality insisted on In
the soldier was that he should be
fearless and the more ~callousiy so the
better. The ~faintest tremor Of timid-
ity was n black mark against the mos
respondent knight as well as the low
lest bowman or halbardier. n the
schooling for war was an utter def-
ance of the personal risk.
This theory held, as many will re-
member, even till the period OF the
BOer war, when the British suffered
so severely in officers because 1t was
held cOwardly for "A commander to
seek cover. Men. then as now, felt
fear. for that is one of ieSh's attri-
valuable of human possessions. since
fear is our protection from dangers
and harms innumerable. We fear wild
beasts to avoid them, snakes and
spiders TO increase our attention,
storms and tempests that we may pre-
pare means of escape from them.
SO it was only in battle that chiv-
airy insisted that mai should be with
out fear. or pretend to he.
With the coming of new warfare.
however. all lands at once came TO a
more sane understanding and the old
physical bravery has given place TO
moral resolution. The man who now
enters the hell Of shell fire. of hurled
flames and deadly gases. no longer
attempts to fool himself into the be-
lief that he is not afraid. He knows
full well and only a stupid nature
could avoid the knowledge that the
human is at the mercy of forces a
million times beyond his W ability
TO counter. The old knight might
really believe he was able to unhorse
all the enemies that rode against him
and therefore might cOnceivably be
without fear. but how a a soldier
feel that way when facing modern
weapons of destruction?
Therefore. IL is no longer a dis
grace to feel fear or TO admit IL; the
only disgrace is to allow fear to pre-
ven one doing his duty. How .Inuch
finer fiber is needed for this new de-
fiancei

CHAPTER V-Continued.

The mole In question lived under a
piece of rock wall near the garden
fence.
When Uncle Joe came home to din
n$r on one particular Saturday he
walked down to the corner OF the gar
den fence. aud there saw the havoc
Prince had wrought. In following the
line of the mole's last tunnel he had
worked his way under the picket fence
and had torn up two currant bushes

berry patch.

Carolyn May positively turned pale
as she crouched beside the now
~chalned-up Prince, both arms about
his rough neck. He licked her cheek.
Fortunately, he could not understand
everything that was said to him. there
fore the pronouncement of this terri
bic sentence did o agitate him an
atom.

Carolyn May had been very brave on

with Mrs. Price and Edna after her
mothers last clinging embrace and her
fother's husky "Good-by, daughter"
with scarcely a tear.
OF course she had been brave! Nam
ma would return In a few weeks, and
then, after a time, papa would like
wise come back-and oh so rosy and
stout
And then, in two weeks, came the
fatal news of the sinking of the Dun
raven and the loss of all but "a small
part OF her crew and passengers.

known to Carolyn May. She never
spoke Of them. They did not seem real

-. GIVEN A TRYOUT

New York.-Some historians may
know when the tunic started its career
as a fundamental fashion in the
clothing of the human race, but no n
has stated the exact date with an at
tempt at accuracy, according to a
prominent fashion authority.
There are many who believe that it
was the first garment worn by Adam
and Eve, when they realized thai cloth
ing was to be a necessity to their
species. The tunic really followed the
mantle, and from Elijah TO William ]
of England is a long, long spell in his
tory, but we know that the former
wore a mantle and the latter a tunic.
julius Caesar occupied q place in the
sun between these two, but he wore a
toga. Beau Brummel brought in coats
and George w, picturesque as he was
in his costumery, blaZed the path for
the ugliest clothes that the men on
this planet have eve worr.
The tunic was q masculine fashion,
as most garments are that women
think are their own. The critics of
this generation fall upon women and
smite them hard for their fripperies
and frivolities, the whims and caprices
of their clothing, and yet these critics
are men who do not seem to realize
that all the centuries of progress Of
the male part of the human ace were

War and the Primitive Tunic.
No doubt the clash of arms IN
France brought back to the ! inds of
the designers the long centuries Of
warfare that had preceded the peace
since 1870. The tunic was the funda-
mental part of the British warriors
costume, and the cuirass-that gilt
tering breastplate of steel and highly
polished metal-was the symbol of all
fighters. So France introduced the
tunic of that other and primitive war
fare which she thought had gone for
ever, and suddenly found one August
morning that ii had come to her with
all the cruelty of the early centuries.
She did her best TO enforce this tunic
into the fashions of other countries,
but with small measure of success IN
til late this autumn. After steady per-
sistence, a trick she has in the max
ing of all her forms of art, the least of
which is fashion, she found that Amer
lea had suddenly awakened TO the COM
fort and beauty of this garment.
1t is difficult TO persuade American
women to go without shirtwaiSts. They
borrowed the idea of a wash shirt from
man, as they have borrowed all their
fashions, and they felt, and rightly so,
that there is an element Of cleanliness
in putting next to the skin throughout
the day hours a garment that Il go
to the tub. The tunic does not go to
the tue, and the only way TO keep it
entirely fresh is to YEA it over a
long-Sleeved muslin lining, which many
women do.

Building on this foundation, the de-
signers in America and Paris have
thrown caution and economy to the
winds and accepted this new blouse In
such an ~extravagant name that they
seem TO be making up for that time
when they let it rest neglected in the
dark corners.

best part Of it is that the amateur can
make these things at home, for they
have nothing but straight lines and
are built from loosely hanging widths
of the material.
And yet there is danger in the work
of the amateur, especially if she is
guided by this hasty description, for
it is the tunic Of the ConquerOr that
is in fashion, not the smOck of the
Russian moujik or the gorgeous Goa
of the Arabian p~Otentate. The widths
must outline the figure, and they must
cling to the hips, and the armholeS
must be cut with precision and per-
lection. The whole attempt of fash
ion today is to throw the figure into
a sharp outline, and we must watch
that tendency if we would keep
abreast of what Is happening and cul-
tiyate our vision to look ahead.
There is no reason for women to
cry aloud Over the extravaganza Of
some of the new tunics that are Of
fered. for these may be copied in sim.
pie fabrics.
Leather Buckskin Brocade.
Here are a few of the most extreme
short tunics that are sponsored by
good houses in Paris and America.
First, there are the blouses of leather.
which were shown in America q month
ago, with and without sleeves. They
came out with the leather top coat and
the service coat Of peltry and leather.
AS a rich sister to practical
leather blouses are those of colored
buckskin, made in deep pink and en-
broidered all over the surface, These
are worn with long. narrow black and
seal-brOwn velvet skirts.
Tie metal tricots are also used.
They are reminiscent of the early CEN
turtles of warfare. They are cut Oh
the fashion of the Conqueror's tunic.
TUNES That Will See Active Service.
AS opposed to these gorgeous speci.
mems of tunics that never were worn
by William the Conqueror or any of
the medieval warriors, there are prac-
teal ones in brilliant wool jersey. In
France they are wearing them in col.
ors taken from splendid-hued flowers,
Crepe de chine is a good fabric, and all
manner of v%elours, suede cloth and
knitted wool are turned into these
tunics. They are not somber or de-
mure. The world wants color. and Il
is going to have ii. Let none rise To
cry it down. There may be other
shadows threatened by the pessimlsts,
but we have emerged from the black.

new state Of happiness we intend to
