Fashions in Capital
BY MARGARET WADE


In regard to afternoon dress, always
important in Washington, there is 6
wide range of style, particularly as
to the length of the sleeve.
Mrs. Newton R. Baker, at very
smart afternoon reception, wore 9
beautiful gown of beige-colored chiffon
made up on pink silk or satin, with EN-
broidery Of several tones of beige and
metal threads covering the entire DO
dice, which had close fitting sleeves
ending above the elbow. Mrs. Baker
topped this with a round hat of pink
velvet, covered in many short, rich os
trich plumes of the same tone.
Miss Marie Simms, just back from
several months visit to friends in Lon
don and Geneva, is also wearing the
short sleeves for daytime occasions
her smartest afternoon dress being
black satin, embroidered in fine jet and
silver, with sleeves ending two inches
above the elbow.
Mrs. Charles Bromwell, always a
leader in smart dress, on the other
hand, has her satin and velvet sleeves
fitted snugly from elbow to wrist,
sometimes halfway to the knuckles, in
a fashion of ten years ago.
Miss Isabel May, always extremely
orf oil tho 1ny1O nInc0
sleeve, which is seen to great advan-
tage in black satin demi toilet with
the new line close tunic cut in deep
petal scallops and embroidered from
hem to waistline in coral beads, silver
and gold threads. The beds vary in
size but are all of one color-a soft
pink.
The plaid sport skirt is not losing
any of it's popularity, if one may judge
by the morning parade on Connecticut
avenue, now the Fifth avenue Of the
national capital.
Mrs. John E. Reyburn, back to
Washingtn after an absence of sew
eral years, takes her morning walk in
a side-pleated skirt of brown and black
plaids of large but vague outline with
a snappy hip-length coat of the darker
shade of brown, and velvet hat OF
lighter tone. The hat is particularly
smart, being a draped sailor which pre-
serves the severity of a sailor brim
without the unbcoming stiff crown.
Like most hats for morning wear, it
is untrimmed.
Mrs. Henry C. Corbin also wears a
plaid skirt, but in small pattern OF
black and green, with jacket of black
cloth and round turban of dark green
velvet.

Relief for Trapped
Submarine Crew

A life-boat has been invented to pre-
vent repetition of submarine acct
dents which have occurred. The
means of escape for the trapped crew
has been devised by Daniel j. Carr,
of Wilmington, Cal.
Carr says he has been a practical
boat builder for many years. His in
vention which calls for life-boat, or
for several boats, built into the super
structure of the submarine, was pat
ented recently. He has asekd the gov
eminent to allow him the use of an
obsolete submarine so that he may
demonstrate the efficiency of his in.
vention.
The Carr lifeboat is mounted in the
superstructure of the submarine. 1t
is entered from manhole in the top
of the submarine, which can be closed
after the crew is in the lifeboat, so
that the submarine can be salvaged
after the men have escaped. Another
manhole in the top of the lifeboat
provides for the exit Of the crew when
the lifeboat has been detached and has
fioated to the top Of the water.
Carr asserts that the lifeboat In no
way interferes with the seaworthiness
or operation of the submarine; that 1t
win stand any buffeting in rough
weather that the submarine can stand.

POTATO WART CONFINED
TO SMALL AREA IN STATE

AS the result of exhaustive investi-
cations and surveys conducted during
the past summer and fall, the Penn
sylvania Department of Agriculture
has definitely established the fact that
the potato wart is prevalent in 7S1
garden or truck patches and on one
farm.
The total acreage affected is less
than 100 acres and the disease is found
in fifty-three towns and villages of the
State. The fact that the wart is found
on only one farm is due to the fact
that that the foreign grown seed po-
tatoes that brought the wart into the
State were used only by small garden
srs and truckers.
The Bureau of Plant Industry of the
Pennsylvania Department of Agricul-
ture, in dealing with the wart problem
has been faced with the task OF pre-.
venting the spread of the disease and
at the same time work no hardship on
the persons tilling land known to be
infected.
The raising of wart immune seed
has practically solved the problem of
enabling the owners of infected land
to still raise profitable crops of po-
tatoes, while the quarantine regula-
lions have effectually prevented the
spread of the disease.
Wart immune potatoes for seed pur-
poses, grown under the direction of
the State authorities, will be tagged,
sealed and distributed to the growers
in the infected areas, for use in grow
ing next seasons crops.

Town is Without
a Hotel

The town of Seibo, on the island of
Santo Domingo, notorious for it's ban
dit tribes, is one of the few commune
ties on the island that has no hotel
accommodations, the unbefriended
stranger finding nothing but miserable
matched huts with nests on three legs
for beds, and ragged old negro for
servant.
Seibo is the most out-of-the-way, as
tonished at strangers, unaquainted
with the world town of any size that
can be found in the West Indies.
Though a large detachment of United
States Marines camp at it's bandit
threatened door, the people show I'M
bounded surprise to see American civ
ilians. Groups of almost foppishly
dressed men lounge in the streets, yet
the town itself is little short of filthy.
A curious old church, a part of it
built 400 years ago on the top of which
is the Marine wireless station, is the
only building of Importance. From
the top of this church, Eeibo is seen
to be surrounded by low hills, every
where wooded, without hut outside
it's compact mass, described by Harry
A. Franck, in the Century Magazine,
as having cts skirts drawn up like
those of a nervous old maid in con-
slant dread of mice. "The town also
has the proverbial garrison house that
seems like fort of the medieval ages.

One of the largest sources of reve-

Gulf Stream Varies

The current of water through the
ocean which is commonly called the
Gulf Stream is of varying width at diff.
ferent points. The width, according
to the conditions that influence it, may
vary from As to 100 miles, and its
course also varies slightly from time
to time. In popular usage the name
is often not applied to designate the
Gulf Stream proper, but much of the
oceanic drift of the north Atlantic.
