may be poured in broad, flat stream.
If a large amount of work is to be
done, a specially designed pouring
can may be purchased of dealers in
road equipment. Care should be
taken to have an even distribution,
and the quantity applied should be
approximately one-half gallon to
square yard of road surface. After
applying the bituminous material,
clean gravel or stone chips should be
spread evenly over the surface, and
if possible, rolled with lawn or field
roller. Where gravel or chips are not
available, clean, coarse sand will serve
as covering material. 1t should be
spread in sufficient quantity to pre-
vent the bituminouS material from adj

Attention is called to the fact that

center of the army. A city of normally
about $4,000 Inhabitants Chaumont lies
on the Eastern railway lines, 1853 miles
a S of Paris. 1t was formerly the
capital of Bassigny, and is now the
capital Of the department of the
Haute Marine.
IL most of the older cities Of
France, Chaumont seems to have been
founded on a site of strategic value. 1t
crowns a high plateau between the
Marine and the Suize, and from the
walls and towers of the old city is a
wonderful view of the valley of the
Marine, the river here being hardly as
wide as the Marine canal that flows be-
side 1t between its poplar-bordered
banks. Northward over the narrow
vale of the Suize the view takes in a
wide sweep of rolling, forest-crowned
hills.
Removed From Paris.
General headquarters was removed
from Paris here in September OF last
year, Chaumont being selected after a
careful search of available locations.
1t lies in the center of what was the

TULLE HAT VOGUE
HeaEgear classed as Newest
and Most up-to-Date.
Unexpected Creation Appears When
ToQues and Bonnets to Match
Winter Toys Are Worn.

After all 1t Is the unexpected and
unusual little thing which seems to set
the nnal seal of success on ones APP
pearance. Smartly dressed women
realize this and often gain their repu-
tation for being smartly dressed by the
addition OF something original and
pleasing-and perhaps also a bit more
daring han the more conservative
choose.
Nothing is more unexpected at this
time, writes a fashion correspondent,
than the vogue of the tulle hat, for in
stance. Just when most OF us are
reaching out after fur toques and bon
nets to match our heavy winter toys
the very newest, most up-to-date crea-
ton of millinery appears to be the
tulle hat. II has taken on surprising
shapes also, as for instance n curious.
outstanding brown tulle bonnet with n
crown like a Cossack's cap. Around
the brim flares a band of tulle which
ends In a fiat, smart bow directly over
the face.
AS yet II is only the brown tulle
hat which seems to be favored. This
suggests coquetry, for long ago French
women decreed that the very perfec-
ton of artistic effect was produced by
a hat of so nearly the exact shade of
the hair hat one could hardly tell
where hat left off and hair began. so
clearly and softly did the two mlnglo.
OF course the brown shades of tulle
permit this perfect harmony, as brown
hair is easily matched.
Along with the tulle hat come some
new feather trimmings - feathers
trained and curled into all sorts of do
signs, such as leaves, blossoms, tri-
corners, rosettes and cockades. A GER
tain wide-brimmed hat of leaf brown
tulle which has been much admired
has its crown entirely covered with
feather leaves laid on Quite fiat and
overlapping so that nothing of the hat
underneath is visible. The hem Is
wide and laring and Is made of sew
eral layers of tulle placed one above
the other.
Another hat of the same sort, also
of brown tulle. has the same wide and
flaring brim of several thlcknesses of
the tulle, and at intervals narrow
bands of the feathers appear. The only
trimming is a very wide, fiat butterfly
bow tied just In front. This hat has

SCOUTS IN TRANSPORT WORK.

That scouts can be relied upon for

ter from the general superintendent
of the United States army transport
service. If there is any place where
the order to "allow only Americans IN
guard tonight" should be repeated, it
is on the docks from which our boys
board the ships for France. Here is
the letter to nationsi headquarters
from Lieut.. Col. f. p. Jackson:
"In reference to telephone CONVEX
sation regarding boy scouts, 1 have
two employed in the supplies division,
army transport service, as messen-
gers. Their duties as messengers re-
,quire them very often to carry Off
cial documents of a confidential ma
ture from the various government Of
fees, piers, etc. 1 believe boy scouts
give more satisfactory services, due to
their training, and can be relied upon
to carry out strictly any instructions
given them"

DEC0LLETE COAT AND DRESS
Vogue Among Fashionable Dressers 10
to swathe Neck, Leaving Bare
a Triangle OF Throat.

A smart trick much In vogue among
fashionable women is to swathe the
neck, leaving bare a triangle OF throat
below the fur. writes a Paris corre-
spondent.
This fashion will be much adopted.
We shall see women, their necks and
ears well mufiied In furs, fortified thus
against the elements. with throat left
bare by the deeollete of coat and
dress. / have already seen several
examples OF this fashion, hiding the
mouth and chin, but leaving nco
cred u square of bare throat like n
little window, appearing whittier by
contrast with the darkness OF the furs.
A no less plquant contrast Will be
the pnllor of bare arms almost ipno-
cent OF sleeves, while neck and cars
are warmly ensErouded In a fur col
lar.
Fashions decree, then, is to hide the
lower part or, rather, some part OF the
face, since some collars reach right up
to the eyes. Those who do not fear
Influenza viii willingly bear some
minor discomforts to be a Ia mode.
For the others there Will be the smart
ness Of fur collars completely hiding
ears and neck. with a straight plns-
iron, which will have the fascination
Of novelty.

IF YOU WISH TO LOOK YOUNG

in~dulgences and attentions that you

One thing American women don't
do very often, and they really ought
to do, is to let their hair hang down
loose. The English woman viii take
the pins out of her hair and let 1t
ripple unconGned over her shoulders

a little midday nap she is not content
unless her hair Is down and she real
ly enjoys giving her hair a sunbatb

On the other hand, American wo-
men are more fastldious about wash
ing their hair than are any other wo-
men. They should remember that
sometimes an air and sun bath Is as
beneficial as a water and soap bath.
