WELLS ARE LONG AND SHORT
Face Coverings in as Many Varieties as There Are Hats on Which
 to Wear Them

The hat seems to be a mere excuse for the wearing of the veil this spring so much importance do the French milliners place on the filmy bit of net that suspendS it's lacey beauty from crown, brim, back or sides of the new est chapeauX.
 There are, insists a writer in the New York Mail. as many veil varieties as there are hats. Apparently each shape and each occasion must have its special veil accompaniment. There are circular veils, those of square out line like an enlarged handkerchief those like the veil of the women of the East, apronlike, but that are in tended to cover the eyes partly rather than to reveal them; the veil by the yard. long or short, as the wearer wishes, and veils of color, embroider- les, ribbon trimmings, applique motifs conservative, fantastic or merely commonplace.
 According to the veil, it's quality character and adjustment, we may change our outlook on life! When it is draped down the back we become AopdulSn IOI Illc uOuCc, OI "lIeu LucIe- ly an edge is permitted to hang deli cately over the crown we ally our selves with the ladies of the second empire, although, thank goodness, there is no "curtain" drawn in at the back of the hats of today. We be- come French to our nose tips when we wear the coQuettish little affair of embroidered net that must not by any chance descend below that scheduled point; and we identify ourselves with the ladies Of the harem when we half conceal and half reveal our more or less charming features in veils that hang long and straight before and be- hind.
 If we are conservative, the veil we will wear will be very similar to the termed English or American, rather decorative but without any bizarre suggestion; probably a fine mesh with hand-applied chenille dots of extreme ly small size; or black or brown with fine scroll work. Blue veils are mod ish because they go with the straw and the silk hats of that color Brown is always f1attering and many women find that same endearing quality in taupe. From Paris have come veis spangled here and there over their cObWebby surface, and there are rib bOn-embrOidered veilS, too, as we'll as those with fringed borders.

SOME CHARMING NEW WRAPS
Latest Outer Garment for Spring Wear Is of the Coat and
 Cape Type.

Charming and very smart are the new coats which. though very few and far between, are beginning to make their appearance. One heSitatee whether to dub them coat or cape, and compromises on wrap, which quite satisfactorily covers them.
 One, of French blue, was drawn in rather closely about the waist, and came to just below the knees-that is, the main part of it did. This was straight, and cut on the lines of a rather close cape. A smaller cape, which came to the waistline, was en- brOidered i0 a single thread of silver, and a close collar of gray squirrel com. pleted the wrap.
 Equally interesting was another wrap of tomato red, which was cut on the lines of the old-fashOned circular cape. At intervals in the fabric was woven a wide double stripe of cream color. which ran through the material just above the knees, just above the waist, and again above the elbows, so that it came cut across the wide part of the cape that served as sleeves This Wrar has but narrow collar of it's owE material.

CREPE DE CHINE IS POPULAR
Fabric Strongly Featured in French Capital and Is Expected to
 Assert Sway Here:

Crepe de chine at present is one of the most featured frock fabrics in the French capital and undoubtedly it will assert it's sway in this country. It is also one of the most durable of lingerie materials and trimmed with point de Paris, or Calais lace or tucked in the more tailored modes fashions some of the smartest of undergarments.
 Crepe satin, radium, grOs de LOndre and geOrgette are other fabrics while Carrickmacross, rose filet and Irish crochet are faces in vogue as trim mings Besides white and flesh, such shades as raspberry, neptune green, honeydew and jonquil are popular.
 The Partisan is very partial to the long chemise or princess slip. Some of these are developed in georgette with many rows of plaits, others are trimmed with lace, filet and Calais, the lace often being cascaded from the hips and draping to the hem.
 Plaited satin ribbon is used to form the bodice on some of the newest slips. the skirt usually being of geOrgette under lace.

Little Jacket Feature of New
 Spring Outfits.
Garment Is Jaunty and Winsome Al. fair of Fairly Straight and
 Unftted Lines.

Close beside the spring taineur of classic lines, and guiltless of braiding or trimming, there appears this spring that perky little dressy suit so uncon- VentiOnal in many ways.
 The new little jackets are called by the French 'paletots sacs," and they are jaunty little affairs of fairly at just about the waistline, unbelted, but left loose and ripping where they are finished.
 Jean PatOu shows the paletOt sac that is quite short with a wavy line at the bottom that rather slumps to- ward the back than otherwise. A suit of this type is made of moroccan crepe in very dark blue faced with silk print ed in the designs and cOlors of a cash mere shawl. The little jacket, by the way, is reversible and is we'll suited in either role to the little one-piece frock that is designed to be worn with it.
 Most of these short coats are made to accompany the one-piece dress rather than the separate blouse with it's skirt to match the coat. Some times, indeed, the coat buttons to the frOck instead of being fastened to- gether, as is the time -honored way with coats either long or short. Often the upper section Of the dress is made of some lighter material than the

Deaths in Industry
 Greater Than in War
Cigarmakers' President Blames 1t Onto Cheap Paying Elm
 ployers.

Chicago, May 13.-Deaths in industry exceed those in war, and this condition will continue as long as workers accept the employers theory that life IS cheap, says President Perkins of the Cigar Makers International union, writing III the official magazine of that organization.
 "The number of American soldiers killed in battle is placed at 5O,151, and during the same period the number ot American workers killed in their line of duty was 126,664" says the trade union iSt.
 "On the battle front men laid their lives on the altar of patriotism and gladly sac rificed themselves for an ideal. In the mines and mills, on the railroads, Wher- ever industry turns the wheels of prog ress, men, women and little children lay their lives on the altar of necessity, and die in striving for the wage that means shelter, food and clothing for themselves and those dependent on them.
 "The mutilatiOnS of modern warfare are not to be compared with the mutila- tions of high-speed industrial endeavor. For every man blown to pieces by gun fire we find two or more have been blown to pieces in our mines and quarries by premature blasts or the deadly mine gas
 Human life is said by some to be cheap. It will be held cheap by the em- ployer just so long as the workers accept his valuation of it. There is one factor that is doing more to enhance the valua- ton of life and limb than any other, and that is the trade union. This power for good is continuously on the job, forcing the betterment of conditions under which we work and live"

WOMEN NOW BIG FACTOR IN PUBLIC
 HEALTH SERVICE
U. S. Department Includes More Trained Females Than Any
 Other Country.

In proportion to its size, the personnel of the U. 5. Public Health Service prob ably includes more highly trained and specialized women than any other branch of the Federal Government. Highest on the list stand two officers holding com- miSSiOned rank in the reSerVe-SurgeOnS Lydia Allen DeVilbiss and Josephine Baker. Next in rank come number ot scientific and professional women, all or most of whom are physicians, though some are classified by other titles. Among these are acting assistant surgeons Blanche Sterling and Edith 5. Lowry, Viola RusSel, pediatrlSt, and Elizabeth B.. Reil, all of the child hygiene section; Ida A. Bengtson, sanitary biologist; Alice L.. Evans and Mrs. E. M. A. knloWS, bac- teriologists; and Mrs. s. C. Brooks. as sistant biologist. all of the Hygienic Lab- oratory; Gertrude Seymour, president ot the American Women in Public Health, and Drs. Daisy Robinson and Edith Rabe, regional consultants, all of the Venereal diseases divisions.
 Several large groups of highly trained women have been organized in the Pub lie Health Service Among these are the reconstruction aides, most of whom have had college training or it's equivalent and all of whom are of unusual ability and character These are stationed at various hospitals of the Service throughout the country. Their task is to help maimed soldiers to regain control of injured muscles and nerves or of dormant or de- ranged mental faculties by appropriate physical exercises (phySiO-therapy) or by curative and diversiOnal occupations (Oc- cupational therapy). The aides, who are headed by Miss Marian Morriss, number about 400. to whom others will be added as qualified applicants can be found.
 Vieing with the reconstruction aides are the dieticianS, whose section was or ganizcd about a year ago to take over from the pharmacists the vlctuallng and food administration of the scores ot n1l1- tarv hospitals now handled by the Public Health Service. All the members of the section, which is headed by Mrs. H. B.. Corsette, are graduates of schools ot household economies and are thoroughly trained and experienced 1n all matters re- lating to dieting. When fully recruited, the personnel will be about two hundred.
 The nurses corps, headed by Miss Lucy MinnegerOde, consists of nurses who nave been highly trained in everyday hospital work and large proportion Ot whom are specialists in particular lines, such as mental and nervous diseases and tuberCu- losis The corps today numbers 1,4OO and needs 300 more. All applicants must, however, be graduated of recognized training schools, and must be registered either in the state in which they live or in that in which they were graduated.
