Another combination of black and
crepe is shown In narrow-brimmed
shape that has a bandeau at the back.
The underbrim and bandeau are COW
cred with the white crepe and the up-
per brim with black crepe. The soft
crown is formed by draping one end
Of a crepe veil over the shape and
knotting 1t at the front. The veil Is
then caught to the bandeau in the back
and falls from there as far as the
waist line
Either black or white beads, in dull
finish, are used in mourning millinery.
In this hat white ones have been
chosen to edge the brim.
Grosgrain and other duli-fnlshed
silks and ribbons are used for making
mourning hats to be worn later than
the first period Of mourning or by per
sons who do not wish TO wear creme.
The sailor shape Illustrated has its
crown entirely covered with looms of
grosgrain ribbon. The narrow brim is
covered with silk and serves to SUD-
port a wide border made of rows of
ribbon set about it with spaces be-
tween them. GeOrgette crepe and
malines are used in hats for mourning
wear-and any other materials that
have the right sort of surface. Crepe
is usually replaced, after a short
period, by hats of these other ma.
terials.

Letter Signed by Heads of

Sent to Senate.

A letter urging adequate compen-

ITO the, Members of the United States

"The undersigned, representing the

trict of Columbia, which in turn. we
believe, truly represent the entire
citizenship of the National Capital,
respectfully and earnestly call your
official attention to one of the most
vital and pressing needs of this COM
nunity.
This need affects a phase of our
civic life that is second to none in
Importance, and demands immediate
relief Unless remedial action is
promptly taken by Congress, a con-
dition that is already deplorable will
be made disgraceful and a reflection
on our capital city"
"It is the need for a more adequate
public school system
MANY arguments and carefully
compiled statistics have been present
ed to the House and Senate commit
tees on the District of Columbia, and
this information merits the serious
consideration of every member of our
responsible governing body. A care
full study of the question will con-
vince one of the urgency of the situa-
tion and of the necessity for a very
substantial increase in the basic pay
of our teachers.N
"As result of the insufficient SAL
aries paid them. they have been leav-
ing the school system in such large
numbers that the entire efficiency of
our educational system is threatened
with collapse 1t is not possible to ex-
aggerate the urgency for prompt ac-
ton.
LAS Congress is the sole Legislative
agency for the National Capital, may
its citizens expect your prompt re-
sponse to our urgent appeal?"
Those who signed the letter are:

on public schools, Washington Board
of Trade; Walter A. Brown, president,

In order to have a good uniform
hatch it is necessary to use fresh eggs.
We found in this experiment that
chicks from fresh eggs hatched sew
eral hours earlier than those from
older eggs.
When eggs are saved throughout a
period of say twenty-one days, and all
put into one incubator. the hatch will
be strung out from twelve to twenty
four hours. This is good neither for
the chicks that are Matched early and
kept in the closed machine. nor for
the later ones just coming out of the
shell, as the latter are often injured
by the lively chicks climbing over
them.
Hatch the chicks early. The cooler
weather of spring will enable them to
escape many Of the warm weather
chick diseases.
