Unless the June bride has her we'd
ding procession pictured in her own
mind, down to the last detail, she Is
likely to have some anxious quarter
hours pondering the subject of her
bridesmaids millinery. Now Is the
TINE to decide the matter, for June
win soon be here and those enterpris-
ing and capable people who anticipate
all millinery needs have launched mid
summer hats that almost sing the we'd
Ling march. Four Of them are pic
tured here The bride can weigh
their merits and select any one Of
them; there is no chance Of making a
mistake for these are all exquisite ex-
amples Of summery headwear suited
TO the bridal cortege.
The hat at the top of the group Is
a millinery gem Of purest ray serene
and might be allotted to the maid Of
honor, because Of Its dignity, If there
Is to be any difference between her
Rat and that Of the other maids. It
has a wide brim and soft crown and
Is made of crepe georgette with eur

ering instead of this crepe. A big
bow of wide and soft satin ribbon
across the front finishes 1t. This sum-
ming up of the simple things that go
to make up picturesque model seems
very inadequate as a description OF it.
Bat it is the delicate beauty of geor-
gette and the sheen of satin ribbon
that make the hat. 1t is exquisite in
any of the fashionable colors. A scarf
of malines is worn with it.
Just below at the left there is a
little poke bonnet Of leghorn straw
with a fan of wired lace across the
back. No doubt the bride will change
her mind several times If she must
choose between this and other hats.

SCOUTS TO BUILD TRENCHES.

New York Is to have chance to see
an exact reproduction Of part Of the
fighting front in France If the boy
scouts carry out the suggestion made
by Maj. Lorillard Spencer of the re-
turned Three Hundred and Sixtyninth
infantry.
Major Spencer, who is scout com.
missioner of the Manhattan council,
said that part of the scouts camp
grounds reminded him exactly of the
sector in which his regiment fought in
France and he planned to duplicate
the trenches and dugouts exactly as
soon as the weather permitted.

Cutting Bias Bands
An excellent way to cut and point
bias bands is in the following man
ner: With a ruler and something
which will mark the cloth-chalk for
dark colors and hard pencil for
light are good If not used too heavily
mark the bands on the material.
Then carefully join the two ends of
the cloth so that the chalk lines ex-
actiy meet, only have the first line
on one end meet the second on the
other. thus forming spiral Stitch
on the machine; then with needle
and thread put few secure stitches
each side of the marks to stay the
stitching. With sharp scissors begin
AT the place where the first band ex-
tends beyond the second, and cut
round and round, following the chalk
line, until the whole is cut into one
piece all perfectly Joined.

Crude Oil From SIlale
Will Solve Fuel Probler,

Don't worry, though at the present
rate of consumption the time is not
far distant when the visible supply
of crude oil will be exhausted" saws
f. E. Moskovics, vice-president of the
Nordyke & Marmon Company. "In a
great measure the world must look
to the supply to be extracted from
shale rock, of which there seems to be
an almost ineXhaustible supply.
"Geologists, who have the ground
we'll mapped, place the visible supply
of crude oil at about $4,000, 900 900
barrels. When I say visible, mean
producing wells and fields that are
subject to more development. One
third of this supply is located in the
Mexico field, and the remaining two
thirds in other parts of the world
Right now this country is using an
nually about 100000 barrels in ex-
cess of production. One may almost
count on his fingers when the total
supply will be exhausted.
However, we need have no worry
in regard to the fuel situation. The
Bureau of Mines has found subst-
tute for the crude that we now secure
by drilling, and that is crude extracted
from shale that is found in immense
deposits III Colorado and Utah. SO
far, this cannot be extracted and placed
on the market to retail at less than
fifty cents the gallon. The problem
that faces the automobile engineer is
the evolving Of an engine that will
make this new fuel propel a car two
miles instead of one, on the same
amount of fuel. I may say that the
leading lights in the engineering field
are already at work on this problem"

Warning Given ON
Warming Signals

There is distinct tendency among
manufacturers of motor cars to eouip
with smaller horns or warning signals.
according to +. B. Ruoff, manager of
the motor equipment division of the
klaxon Company, of Detroit
This situation has been developing
slowly for the last two years and is
beginning to leopard the safety of
motorists, according to Mr. Ruoff, who
foresees the second advent of the bulb
horn stage unless manufacturers adopt
new attitude in regard to the warn
ing signal.
THE warning signal situation of to-
day is actually going back to the old
Intellectual bulb horn stage as a result
of the car manufacturer insisting on
considering the warning signal as a
non-vital feature of cars equipment"
said Mr. Ruoff.
This state of affairs will soon give
dissatisfaction to the car owner and
cannot help but reflect ultimately on
the car manufacturer, for ADEQUATE
warning signal equipment is essential
for the protection of the motor car and
its occupants.
Car manufacturers, by demanding
warning signals at constantly lower
price, have encouraged the building of
instruments that lack quality, but
which can be sold at a price; instru
ments which cannot perform the func-
tons of warning SIGNAL nronerlv
which cannot last the life of the car
and are not in keeping with the stand
ards adopted for other important equip
ment.
ut is the duty of a warning signal
to warn-a the demand for cheap
horns of small type has resulted in
such lessening of their sound volume
mat they. do not give an effectual
warning signal
"A warning signal is eof the utmost

cars safety, but the life of the cars

New York and

Motor Contest
lhvee-Cornered Match for
Amateur Drivers Will Be
Held Here in June for
the Rickenbacker Trophy

The New York Athletic Club will
meet the Chicago Athletic Association
and the Chicago Automobile Club in q
three-cornered automobile reliability
team match on June IL and 10. 1t will
be two-day contest, with the start
and finish at Travers Island. The
night stop on the road on the night of
the 18th probably will be at Lenox
Mass.
This will be the first inter-city au-
tomobile team match of any conse-
quence that the motoring world ever
has known, and will be remarkable for
the fact that most of the Chicagoans
viii drive over the road to New York
to start in the match. 1t is expected
the Westerners will start at least
twenty cars.
The match will be for the Ricken-
hacker trophy, which has been hung
up by Major E. V. Rickenbacker,
Americas ace of aces, and in all prob
ability the donor of the trophy will
act as referee. Fred j. Wagner will
be starter.
The arranging of this match is due
to the energetic action of William &.
Poertner, the newly appointed CHAIR
man of the automobile committee of
the New York Athletic Club, who is
arranging all the details of the match.
He has appointed W. Irving Tickling

Demand for Cars
Seems To Be Country Wide

Probably as accurate barometer
of general trade conditions as any is
to be found in the sales charts which
manufacturers keep to show from week
to week the rise and fall of the de-
mano for motor cars. 1t has been
found that such records are in the
highest degree responsive to financial
or business uncertainty, rejecting it
perhaps more promptly than any other
source.
A series of such comparative re-
cords in the office OF Frederick Gown,
president of the Briscoe Motor Cor
poration, at Jackson. Mich, has what
is called the Zine of norma" to rep
resent fair estimate of what the de-
mand should be.
Starting at point considerably be-
low normal on January l, the Zine of
normal" is almost horizontal for sew
eral weeks, evidencing the uncertainty
rs to the future which still existed
in the public mind at that time. About
February l the demand line begins to
curve upward, and toward the first of
March the upward curve becomes
sharp angle. By the end of March de-
mand had risen TO thirty per cent
above normal, and still going up.
