BANDIT
OF RARE CHARM

Washington, d. C.-That relentless
bandit Raisuli, the Villa of Morocco,
whose present raids have caused a po-
litical crisis in Spain, has another side.

ticed his care even to avoid allowing
the bees collected on his cup to drown"
is the surprising statement, not of a
friend, but of the wealthy American
who was held for ransom by Raisuli in
1904, until President Roosevelt sent a
fleet of war ships and his famous ulti-
matum, "Perdicaris alive or Raisuli
dead to Morocco.
Ion Perdicaris' own story of his adj
ventures as the prisoner of the "Moroc-
can Robin Hood" is told in communi-
cation sent by him to the National
Geographic society soon after his re-
lease.
'In many respects the man inter
ested and attracted me, in spite of all
my natural motives for dislike" said
Mr.. Perdicaris. "Raisuli was at once
so gracious and dignified, not to us
only, but to his own wild adherents,
who evidently idolized their chieftain,
whose position among them seemed
that of the head of Highland clan in
the olden times.
Has a Superior Character.
"He was quick to see the humorous
aspect of situation, while his repartee
was as immediate and to the point as
though he had been born in County
Galway itself. In fact, l discovered to

resentment. l found myself uncon'

arranged. A long, wide, black satin
ribbon had wreath of exquisite pink
water lilies attached to it in front.
This ribbon was passed around the
high crown of the hat, tied loosely at
the back and then allowed to fall In

Popular Style of Trimming.
This style of trimming is a Talbot
speciality. have seen it repeated with
various flowers, and with flowers and
fruits mixed The directoire shapes
are more fashionable than ever; they
have been found almost universally
becoming and they supply pictur-
esque headdress which is exactly suit
able for wearing with the present-day
dresses of rather fussy outline.
Many of the newest hats show long
floating ribbons, in velvet or satin.
and it may be said that the floating
veil is more in favor than ever, espe-
cially for seaside and country wear:
we do not see it very often in town.
White chip hats covered with Shan
tung or tussor are going to be the
craze of the season. For morning
wear, to accompany simple tussor
tailored suits, 1 have seen white chip
sailor shapes covered on the outer side
with tussor and trimmed with two
large white wings.

YOUTHS ARE LUCKY FINDERS
Revelations Come When Researchers
Are at Work on aomething Else
Single Turn Loop Brings
Amazing Results.

Washington, D. Gin general way
1t is known that during the war
method was found to communicate
with a submerged submarine from
shore or sea. How this is done and
how 1t came to be discovered that 1t
could be done not until now has been
made public. Like a good many other
revelations 1t came when the research
ers were at work on another problem.
The scientists of the radio section
Of the bureau OF standards stumbled
on It's secret and the lucky ones to sus-
pect 1t were two young assistants not
long out of high school. Their expert
ments and the development of what is
known as the loop aerial" for subma-
rine radio communication by the bu-
reau resulted in a device so simple
and perfect, and producing such Won
derfnl results, that the navy has
adopted 1t and is equipping all its I'M
dersea craft with this style of loop.
Iii the fall of 1917 series of expert
ments was undertaken by the bureau
to develop an apparatus for the detec-
ton of enemy submersibles. ]. A. Will
loughby and p. d. Lowell were en-
gagged in the work. They had notion
that a closed or rubber encased coil
of wire offered the best chances for
success. They made one and threw
| it one night into a tank of fresh water
on the grounds Of the bureau near
| Chevy Chase, Nd, suburb of Wash
ington. To. their delight they received
signal from the big radio station at
Arlington. The next night they sub
merged the coil in the tidal basin of
the Potomac near the new navy build.

he was not a mere brigand or cattle
litter, but a patriot struggling to res
cue his Berber followers from the tyr
amy of the corrupt shereefian officials.
His charm of voice, the natural poise
and dignity of his manner, his self
control under provocation,-aH be-
trayed superior character. He is. in
fact, born leader, and with a certain
statesmanlike quality. He deplored the
condition of his country, the feuds
which separate the tribes, the many
deeds of violence and the blood so use

while standing near RaisuIi one
day on the village green, Of which we
were now allowed the freedom, one of
his followers came up from Tangier,
almost breathless from his haste, TO
report the arrival Of the two American
squadrons. The man described how
the eight frigates had entered the bay,
one after another.
Il watched Raisuli with anxiety, lest
apprehending the landing of marines,
with a view to our relief and his own
capture. he might endeavcr to drag rs
to some more distaat and inaccessible
retreat. What was then my surprise
when, looking up with bright smile,
he said: Well, l think can now con

the use of loops on submarines for
both transmission and reception under
water. Both he and Mr.. Lowell were
sent to New London to work under
Commander Mcdowell In charge of the
base, to install the apparatus for a try
out on submarine D-1. 1t Is simple
c0ntrivance, the metal frame of the
submarine itself being part of it,
this being used as a ground" just as
the earth Is used In hand telegraphy.
The circuit Is thus made complete. As
finally perfected the loop consists Of
two insulated wires grounded at the
extreme ends of the hull carried over
suitable supports to the coming tower
and thence through ''radio-lead-ips"
down into the boat to the receiving
and sending apparatus. A single turn
loop was used on the D-1. With Its
top submerged three feet signals were
received from submarine chaser

Boat Used as "Ground.s

U. s. s. G-3, in which the lead-in wires

terial is so cleyerely arranged that it
gives something of the Turkish trouser
effect. Then the waistline is long, and

to say, it is loose and ultranatural.

strikingly Original Costume.
The neck was cut round, almost like
the Redfern model, but the sleeves
were even shorter. Very long pale
gray suede gloves were worn and an
immense pale gray felt hat, lined with
black chip and trimmed with cluster
of black satin water lilies. 1t was an
amazingly original costume, taking it
altogether.
Nearly all the best race gowns of
this season have closely resembled eve
ming dresses, that is to say, they have
had decollete necks, short sleeves and
filmy draperies. 1t is not at all easy
to distinguish between day and eve
ming gowns just now unless one makes
a careful study of materials. 1t is not
considered correct to wear metallic
brocades in the daytime nor paillettes
unless the latter be skillfully inter
mingled with fine silk embroidery, but
very many of the best and most ex-
pensive race dresses are richly
trimmed with Jet and steel fringes and
with embroideries worked in jet steel
and moonlight beads.
1t Is as / have said a wonderful
year, and 1t must be admitted an ex-
travagant one. Never have I known

DAIRY
TANKS TO KEEP CREAM cool
Can Be Purchased From Dealers in
Dairy Supplies, or They May Be
Made on the Farm.

SPrepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
On most farms cream can be cooled
most effectively by the use of cold
water. In order to facilitate the cool
ing various types of tanks have been
devised. Such tanks can be purchased
from dealers in dairy supplies and
sometimes from the local hardware
merchant, or they may be made on the
farm. A cooling tank should be large
enough to hold at least two cream
cans In. order that the newly sepa-
rated cream may be cooled In can
separate from that previously gath
cred.
In order to keep the cream cool 1t
is necessary to change the water sew
eral times a day. For this reason the
tank should be situated between the
well and the stock tank so that all
water pumped for the stock passes
through the cooling tank, thence to
the stock tank.
OF whatever design the cooling tank
may be it should have a tight cover
to keep out the heat, and for the same
reason it is advisable to place it in
the dairy house or under a shed so
that the sun cannot shine directly
upon it.
An excellent tank may be made of
two-inch planned cypress boards, prop
erly bolted together, painted on the
outside and oiled on the inside; or, if
it is desirable to keep the cost down
TO the minimum, a very simple and
cheap cooling tank may be made from
two or more oil or vinegar barrels
one for each can.
The pipe conducting the water into
the tank should be about Ia inches
in diameter, and upon entering the

tank by means of an ell and a short
piece of pipe, should turn down to
within a few inches of the bottom so
that the cold water may be conducted
to the bottom, forcing the warmer
water through the outlet pipe. Cream
cans should stand on cleats so that
water may circulate under as well as
around them. The outlet pipe should
be about liz inches in diameter.
Locknuts and sheet packing may be
used to make tight joints where pipes
enter and leave the tank.

in mind that the water should either
flow through the tank continuously or
be changed so frequently that the
cream will be kept as cold as the well

GIVE SOIL MORE ATTENTION
When Dairymen Do This They VIII
Find Themselves Independent
of Feed Dealers.

The time has come when dairy farm
ers must devote more attention to soil
management and crop growing and
less attention to balanced rations until
they get their farms on a self-sustain-
ing basis. When dairy farmers do this
they will discover that they are indie
pendent of feed dealers in feeding the
cows, and as the system is continued
a few years they will create surplus
which can be utilized in feeding horses,
beef cattle, sheep and hogs.

The lower side Of the loop was re-
moved and the ends Of the wire fas-
tened to the bow and stern. The top
OF the loop was submerged eight feet |;
signals from Nauen, Germany, were
clearly heard. Very sharp indications
of direction were obtained when under
water or on top of 1t. And soon other
stations were heard, including Carnar-
Won, England; Rome, Italy, and varl-
Gus merchant vessels. Later expert
ments showed that communications
can be carried on at sea under all con-
dltions more efficiently with the closed
loop aerial than with the ordinary
antenna now in general use.
When a submarine equipped with
the perfected apparatus is submerged
any North American or European sta
ton can be received as distinctly as
when 1t is ON the surface. The maxi
mum depth of submergence at which
signals can be heard Is determined by
the wave length.
Signals can be transmitted from the
loop to a distance Of ten or twelve
miles when the submarine is COM
pletely submerged, the maximum dis.
lance being obtained when the top OF
the loop is practically at the surface
The distance decreases to two or three
miles when the loop is eight or nine
feet belog the surface.
