PROPER CARE FOR YOUR HATS
Velvet headgear Needs Especial At.
tsntion-Eaeh Hat Should Have
Box OF Its Own.

II Is not only the wear that a hat
receives that makes IL lose Its fresh.
ness and shape. II is the way the hat
Is treated when Il is not In use that
has a good deal to do with this.
Velvet hats are so much In evidence
this season that the chances are you
have one or will have before many
weeks. These need particular care,
and will repay you the care you give
them. The old-fashioned way was TO
have piece OF heavy black mourn
Ing crepe with which TO rub of the
dust from velvet. but a velvet brush
Is easier to handle. A heavy, coarse
brush should never be used on velvet.
The best time to brush dust from
velvet Is after you have worn the hat,
unless II Is damp or spotted with rain.
Then you should not use a brush until
II has been thoroughly dried.
II Is hard In limited quarters to give
your hats the right place TO repose
when not In use. unless you are contenf
to get along with but one or two
hats season. Ideally, each hat should
have box Of its own, and even your
ordinary hats should be boxed when
not In use. Hats that have trimming
"s the housekeeping variety should
not be laid fiat In a box bu: should
rest on a little hat block-anythIng
In fact. that will raise the brim some
what from tie bottom Of the box.
4 piece of china silk-an old silk
handkerchief Is goods useful In
caring for your hats Quilts should
be carefully wiped Off with 1t and
ostrich feathers may be busted gently.
Any trimming with clre finish or je:
ornaments may be carefully busted
with this silk.

i get back" People used to wonder
how he did it until they discovered
that COrtez always had an ace in the
hole. He always had something saved
up and ready for use when necessity
demanded.
While he was snorting around the
caribbean Sea in a steel vest and a
tin hat, he and his gang dropped into
Vera Cruz. COrtez had heard about
MonteZuma and his wonderful city up
in the mountains and wanted TO 20.
The gang refused. III show you who
is boss" said Cortez, and burned every
one Of his ships rs they lay on the
beach.
That left the gang no place to go but
ahead which was what Cortez wanted
But he saved himself up something
Ior the future. Secretly he saved every
bit OF iron about those ships, collected
every nail from the ashes, taIlowed
them and all the carpenter tools
against rust and said TO the gang
Let's go!"
When he came back to Vera Cruz,
he cashed in on his savings. He resur-
rected the nails, built new ships and
took the gang and the money they had
captured back to Spain. The moral is
that II may be all right to burn your
ships but save the nails. The only safe
plan for any man to follow is TO have
a reserve fund in case of emergencies
There Is only one safe and sure plan
% accomplish that. 1t is to save a
certain amount of money every pay
day and invest it safely where 1t Will
be protected. where it will work for
you and where you can get it when
you need IL.
The new savings securities OF the
Treasury Department. the Savings
Stamps and the Savings Certificates,
are the safest and most available
means OF piling up such q reserva

relative to the bonus the argu-
ment says.
Application for the bonus must
pc made within one year from the
date the act became effective. The
first sixty days OF service are exclud-
ed from the time for which a bonus
may be paid, as II is considered
that the government bonus OF $50
paid at the time OF discharge covers
the first sixty days of service.
Relative to the bonus, the argu-
ment explains that "the bonus per
iod Is extended to November IL,
1919, one year after signing the ar
mtstice, because Il was many months
atter the ending OF actual hostilitles
betOre the men overseas could be
returned to the United States. and

clude the time served by each man

Women Are Included
This measure applies either TO
males or females who served at least
sixty days Conscientious objectors
aud those who served only as stu
dents In training camps are barred.
Third OF the trio OF proposed con-
stltutional amendments is that em-
powering the governor to veto the
emergency clause.
When the emergency clause IL at
tachod To legislative act two pur-
poses were served First, the bill be-
comes effective as law as soon as
" " signed by the governor, while
acts not having the emergency
clause are not effective for ninety
days, Second, the use OF the emer-
gency clause prevents the invoking
OF the referendum against the meas
ure.
Charges often have been made
that the privilege OF using the em-
ergency clause has been abused 10
forestall the referendum. Az the
emergency clause now serves dou-
BILE purpose. Il may be saldal 30 that
the proposed amendment will serve
double purpose. II will prevent
the clause being used merely TO halt
the referendum. and II will prevent
the governor using the clause as n |
pretext for yetolng an entire bill.
