JAP GOVERNOR FOR 700 ISLES
South Sea Group to Have Executive
and Thorough System of Admin
istration.

Tokyo.-The 700 islands of varying
size in the South Sea group for which
Japan obtained mandatory rights at
the peace conference will have jap
anese governor and a thorough system
Of administration.
The governor at present will remain
under the direction Of the navy, which
has been In control Of the islands since
their acquisition five years ago. 1t is
possible that later all connections be-
tween the navy and the islands will
be severed. III
The League of Nations council IN
November is expected to work out a
detailed scheme for the application Of
the principle of trusteeship by which
Japan retains her control.
The idea involved in enlarging the
scope Of civil administration Is to es-
tablish three distinct administrative
sections Of domestic affairs, colonial
affairs and police cffairs.

it only deep mud. So he decided to

stuck fast In the mud.
He pulled and pulled, but could not

Cortes, In one Of his famous letters

HOW SCOUT TROOPS ORGANIZE

A group of three men brought to-
gether as troop committee for the
promotion of scout work receive
charter from the national organiza-
ton or local scout council. A scout
master is secured and then the troop
is formed.
The scouts are organized in patrols
and troops. Eight boys constitute a
patrol, one being chosen as the patrol
leader. Three or four patrols make
up a troop. The scoutmaster is the
adult leader of the troop. He may
have one or more assistant scoutmas.
ters and senior patrol leader.
Any boy of any class or creed, over
twelve years Of age, is eligible to be-
come a scout. The initial require
ments are that he take the scout oath
and honor the scout law, know the sig
nificance of the badge and pass tests
in the history of the flag and in knot
tying. He is then a tenderfoot scout.
By meeting certain requirements he
is in line to become a second-class
scout and then frst-class scout.
Scoutcraft includes instruction in
first aid, life saving, tracking, signal
ing, cycling, nature study, seamanship,
campcraft, woodcraft, chivalry, and
! all the handicrafts. A boy so fitted is
well prepared for the work of life. II
is a prime purpose of the boy scout
movement, abroad as well as in the

Have Cried Their Eyes Out.

'The City of the Blind" the Arme-
mans and Syrians call Aleppo in Syria,
for nowhere else in the Orient today
is the percentage of blindness so high.
Every sixth person on the street is af-
fected with eye disease. These Arme-
mans and Syrians, the oculists say, in
the years of terror and suffering just
passed under Turkish oppression, have
literally "cried their eyes out"
Trachoma is found in all degrees of
severity among infants a few months
old, and advanced cases among chill
dren from three to six. Such a condi-
ton exists nowhere else, except IL.
such lands as Egypt and India, aId
nowhere there is it so severe as in

Spitzbercen Explorer.

Charles Rabot, French physicist,
with a reputation for arctic research,
has been elected honorary member of
the Christiania Geographical society.
In 1892 Mr.. Rabot participated in the
French expedition of La Manche to
van Mayen and Spitzbergen. He was
the first to travel extensively over
west Spitzbergen and to form correct
conclusions as to its pathological re-
lations, viz: that west Spitzbergen is
not covered by "a connected inland
mass of ice as is the case with Nor
dostland and Greenland. Among his
many works the most important is.
"Des Variations de Longueur des
Glaciers" (Paris, 1897 and 1900). He
was the first to make a survey map of
the black ice between Saltenfjord and
Ranefjord, for the time pointing out
that at Glaamdalen the black ice is cut
into two parts known as Vestbraen
and Osthbraaen.

SCOUTS BUREAU OF SERVICE.

The bureau of information service
of the Jersey City council of the Boy
Scouts of America has been set up
in the Triangle building at Montgom-
cry street and Bergen avenue.
The scouts will conduct what is to
prove to one of the biggest "good
turns" ever done for the people of
Jersey City. A visitor to the city will
only have to apply to this Office and
he will be given directions which will
take him by the quickest route to
whatever point he may wish to go,
and in the event of stranger wanting
pilot to lead the way for him, there
will be scouts on duty. 1t also will fur
nish boys who for a nominal sum will
be able to do small tasks in hurry.
In this manner some of the scouts will
be enabled to make enough money to
pay for their trip to camp next year.

Extreme Modes

tions of clothes at exclusive dress
makers, but they were not adopted
to any extent, being looked upon as
novelty. This spring will see any num-
Der OF dresses made of English sateens.
1t is not, however, the plain colored
sateen that is most prominent, al
though this is used to some extent.
Printed sateens in designs very much
like the English prints are smarter.
When we see a pretty model devel-
oped in this material, which has the
appearance of foulard, we wonder how
we could have ignored it in times when
cottons had not come into the promi-
nence that they are enjoying just now.
Pretty Models for Little Girls.
Designers of children's clothes have
seized upon these English sateens to
work out some interesting play clothes
There are any number of pretty mod
els for little girls made of the figured
sateeen in combination with white Or
candle, the Organdie being used for
collars and cuffs as well as for SASH
es and belts. Some straight-line sa-
teen frocks for tiny girls are smoked
in blending colors and have sashes Of
white organdie; others have interest
ing stitchings of colored worsteds.
One jumper dress of printed sateen
in soft green shade is worked with
black yarn around the neck, cap
sleeves and belt, a blanket stitch be-
ing used. For tiny tots there are
amusing play clothes of pink and light
blue sateens without a design. These
are made just like smocks and worked
in worsteds. On the pockets are en-
broidered Kate Greepaway figures.
Mothers may not care to dress their
children regularly in clothes Of this
sort, but they are most amusing as
play aprons for the nursery.

about a great use of net, which is

DICTATES OF FASHION

French knots worked in narrow,
bright colored silk ribbons are new
and effective trimming.
Sport coats of solid color tweed are
the latest innovation in outing apparel
presented by a firm having a reputa-

The bosom front blouse is here again.
AS may be understood, these models
are decidedly tailored in effect and are
developed in silk, linen and cotton
skirting materials.
Simple frocks of taffeta in navy,
black and brown have pipings, folds
or cordings of brilliant colors, such
as orange, foliage green, lemon and

dresses are worn. Dressmakers are
wearing it. A great deal may be ex-
pressed through net, depending upon
the colors chosen and the method Of
handling it. An older woman may
wear with great dignity a black net
dress, beautifully draped, while for
debutante bright, billowy, tulle frock
may be extremely informal.
Among the more elaborate black
tulle frocks are some lavishly embroid-
cred in crystal and silver beads. A
beautiful one has a bright note of
color introduced through an apron
effect of bright peacock blue tulle,
which is laid in full plaits, the apron
being draped at the sides to give the
effect of a tulle pannier.
Low DecoIIetage Not Featured.
Many of the smartest tu1le dresses
do not feature the extremely low dec
olletage. Some of them have little
more than the shallow round neckline
that extends out on the shoulders after
the manner of a street frock. The
transparency of the material, however,
gives the effect of low decolletage.
If you have any Old laces put away
now is the time to use them. Entire
! dresses are being made of bands of
lace joined together. Where the strips
of lace are sewn together, metal en-
broideries are of silver, little silver
ribbon in the form of a girdle or Shout
Ger straps is delightful addition to
the dress, especially if the lace is
black.
So great is the demand for lace that
the lacemaking industry of England
and France has been given great i'm
4 petus. In fact, it is almost impossible
for the supply TO meet the demand
at the present time. Laces and nets
not only make entire frocks, but are
used as trimmings in a most lavish
way. High wired lace collars some
what like the Medici collars are in
troduced on many afternoon frocks
