Four hats that are nothing less than
four spring songs, each as different
from the others as it can be, intrigue
the buyers of new millinery to con-
slider their merits. They are totally
different, each from the others, IN
character and bespeak little thought
on the part of the fair one who Is
about to make a selection; for they
are suited to differing types of wom-
en-, 1t is the woman who understands
her own style that will make the most
careful study of them.
The large hat at the top of the
pro,1p will look we'll on a great num-
ber of heads, especially if its wearers

CHAPTER XII.

And he slept, though he had not ex-
pected to close his eyes that night,
He slept as soundly as his comrades,
awakening, as was his habit, few
minutes before reveille, with a mind
singularly clarified by sleep. He would
ask to parade before his commanding
officer in the morning and state the
facts, leaving the rest to fate.
He was not destined to, for the same
corporal who had put him on duty dur
.--ipg his previous afternoon "off' called
him five minutes before parade.
"You can leave them buttons, Wes-
ton," he said with a grin. you won't
need to polish 'em where you're going.
The sergeant major wants you at
once"
Mark hurried to the Office, to find the
sergeant major in company with one
of the senior captains; then he remem-
bered that rumors Of the preceding
evening had sent the Major away with
the inspecting General. His interview
must be postponed, then.
"Weston, you'd better get your
breakfast at once" said the sergeant
major. And have your kit packed in
twenty minutes. You and Hartley are
going up to the front"
The senior captain temporarily COM
manding the detachment unbent from
the official air which he was trying
terribly hard to assume.
"You were specially asked for from
headquarters" he said, with another
man; and I'm sending Hartley be-
cause he's your friend. They want two
more men. for the stretcher bearers

Mark sa3Rted and went out just as
Hartley appeared at the door. The
sergeant major enlightened Hartley
briefly.
"You must have some pull at head
quarters, Weston" he said. "Do you
know Major Kellermanf''

NO GENERAL RULE POSSIBLE

1T is an axiom that mental excel

dependent upon mans physical con-
dition," declared Secretary Of State
Robert Lansing. at is equally true
that rules of health, except the most
general, depend in large measure up
on the individual and upon his peculiar
needs.
"If were asked to lay down rules
which might be applied generally" con-

not rested If it rebels against certain
forms of physical training which are

mind of one engaged in intellectual
pursuits is, in my opinion. one of the

hat Shown at the right in a trig but
not simple tailored dress or suit and
very up-to-date. The square-cornered
shape is covered with georgette crepe

sMUDGE SAVES POTATO CROP
"smoke Screen" Successfully Applied
to Field of Tubers in Hardin
County, Ohio.


prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.O
A member of the farm bureau in
Hardin county, Ohio, saved a 2O-acre
field of late potatoes from frost last
fall by the use of a smudge. The po-
tatoes had made practically no growth
during July and August because of dry
weather, but were maturing in good
shape when, on the night of Septem-
jer 81. the temperature dropped be-
low the freezing point. Preparations
had been made for just such an emer-
gency. Baled straw had been placed
in readiness, and at 10 80 that night
the fires were started. 1t was found
that heavy smoke could be made by
using wet straw after the flame had
been applied. Fires were kept burning
in 102 places. and it is estimated that
ten tons of straw were used. The en-
tire field was kept covered with smoke,
and after the sun had been up few
hours the following day it was plain

Of 61a or Z inches in the spring after
March Is. Follow this with three OF
four disl1ings to a depth of or
inches with a 16 or 20-inch disk, the
number of diskings and the intervals
between them varying according to
the length of the period between pl0w-
ing and planting. When 1t is neces-
sary to replant early injured corn,
plow the field deeply and thoroughly
and then give three or four deep disk
ings at intervals Of two or three days.
These practices necessarily involve ad-
ditional labor, but they prevent root
aphis injury and also put the field in
much better physical condition. Plow-
ing in the fall before the ant colonies
go below the plow line is sometimes
as useful as spring plowing, but If
warm weather follows, the ants may
reconstruct their nests and reassemble
the aphids so that replowing in spring
will be necessary; but whether the
field be plowed in the fall or spring,
the spring diskings are essential.
Early fall plowing, followed by fire.
quent deep diSkings in fields damaged
by the root aphis that season, is good
practice from the standpoint of COM
munity control as we'll as for the per-
sonal benefit derived, because the
plowing disturbs the ant colonies, kills
many of the aphids, and destroys the
weeds upon which they live, and disk
ing prevents the recolonization Of ants
and prevents the growth Of weeds, re-
sulting in significant reduction in
the number of aphid eggs to carry the
insect through the winter.
RepeIIents for Aphis.
Where it is impossible to practice
one Of the foregoing measures, repel-
lents may be used to advantage. The
object is to repel the ants by the use
of an odOrOuS substance offensive to
them, thus preventing them from col
onizing the aphids on the corn roots or
driving them from the treated field.
These materials destroy neither the
ants nor the aphids but tend to drive
away the ants. the presence of which
is essential to the life Of the aphids.
Oil of tansy, tincture Of asafetida, oil
OF sassafras, anise oil, kerosene, and
Oil of lemon are useful for this pur-
pose, one of these materials being mix
ed with a chemical fertilizer, such as
bone meal, and applied by means Of
planter equipped with fertilizer
attachment. They should not be ap-
piled directly to the seed, as such
treatment may injure it, especially if
the season be wet. One-fourth Of a
pound of oil of tansy should be diluted
with two quarts of alcohol and one
quart Of water, two pints Of asafetida
should be diluted with one and half
gallons of water, and either repellent
thus diluted should be added to 100
pounds of bone meal this amount be-
ing sufficient for an acre.

Then the machine guns burst forth.
"Rat-tat-tat-tatl !" sang the bullets over
head.
They swished through the grass and
pattered on the ground. No answer
came from the section of the Ameri-
can line Immediately behind the de-
tenders, but on each side there came
answering volleys, making the air an
inferno Of cracking death. Then,
gradually, the alarm subsided. The
rocket showers died down.
"Now, boysl" whispered the corpo-
raj.
They crawled onward. The huddled
form came into clear view. The body
seemed to be already blending with
the earth, melting into formlessness !;
and there was no need to wonder
whether this was Of dead or wounded
man.
The corporal swore.

companion. 81 told you so. What's he
sent us here for, the fool?"
His words ended in a gurgle. From
behind the shelter of the corpse leaped
five men. Noiselessly they flung them
selves upon the party Of three. Mark
felt a pistol at his temple.
"Surrender!" hissed voice in his
ear.
In flash he realized the trap. The
three were unarmed, noncombatants !;
it was a counter-raid-and Kellerman
had known that the enemy were abroad
that night and suspected their rendez-
vous.
He saw his two companions being
dragged, unresisting, toward the Ger
man lines. Three men were with

them; besides his immediate antago-
mist there was only one other figure
in the immediate vicinity, and that one
had half turned away.
And the thought of the Internal trap
goaded Mark to madness. AS his cap
tor. never suspecting resistance on his
part, let the muzzle of the pistol droop,
Mark drew back his hand and struck
upward with all his might.
He felt the burn Of the powder as
the discharged bullet sped under his
chin, he heard the startled cry Of the
Germans; and then furious outburst
Of machine-gun fire came from the
trenches opposite. Two Very lights
went up, revealing the two struggling
men to the sentries on either side.
Mark saw a powerful man, SER
geant, he thought, with close-cropped
yellow hair and the body of Her
cules. The man dashed at him, strik-
ing madly with his bare fists. The two
fought amid hailstorm Of bullets.

"Where's your mater" he asked.
Mark, who had been plodding along
under the impression that Hartley was
following, turned round, to find that
he was the last Of the party. Hartley
was nowhere to be seen.
The sergeant ran back few PAGES,
to return breathless and red in the
face. Hes gone, the silly fool!" he
spluttered. "Must have taken the
wrong turn at the bend. Go back and

and they rejoined the others. The ser

Elder Ducks,

Elder ducks are numerous every
where in Norway. Being the produc-
ers of the valuable eiderdown, a
staple article of trade IN Norway, they
are vigorously protected by law, and
are in consequence so tame as in
many places to approximate domes-
tic fowl. The birds are regarded with
far from friendly eyes by the fisher
men, by reason Of the damage they
work among the spawning beds Of the
fish. Lobsters in particular suffer Sc
verely from their devastations.

New York scribes led the gang who
expertly pointed out that the great
one was on the skids; that his legs
were growing stiff and his throwing
arm turning to glass. Then they start
ed picking out soft spot for Heinie

and the ones who were less hopeful
relegated him to right field, just as
though John McGraw would think for
half a second Of displacing crack

Heinie kept his pace through all
