Divers Plan to Recover Treasure
From Bed Of Ocean.
Benjamin r. Leavltt invents Diving
Suit with Which He Expects 70
Salvage 81, 100000 Lost With
Lusitania and Arabic.

Philadelphia.-Salvaging OF the gold
sunk with the Lusitania and the
Arabic. some $11 ,OOO, 900 In all. is the
object Of BENJAMIN Franklin Leavitt,
who recently sailed from New York
for the spot OF Ireland where the
Lusitania went down In 1915.
The expedition Is costing $3.50. 600.
and some 600 stockholders are back

But Leavitt has spent six years In
venting his own diving armor. In his
first test, in 1915, he made the worlds

Michigan.
Eight diving suits have been built In
Leavitt's own factory here at cost

CORSET or TODAY
No indication of the WaistIine
Becoming Smaller.
Prevalent Style In France Is Extreme
iy Low, Not Very Long and
Lightly 6oned.

The evolution of the corset Is ex-
tremely interesting. observes a writer
In the New York Tribune. Its Ameri-
can history dates back to the days OF
the Pilgrims, when the first article OF
this character was made in this coun-
try. These God-fearing people wove
the material by hand, leaving 1t i9 Its
natural gray state. To bone the cor
set they used whalebone, which they
sewed in by hand-and this garment
was not lightly boned as 1t Is In these
days. The whalebones were placed so
close to one another that one row OF
stitching supported a bone at either
side Of 1t.
Unlike the corset of today. this
primitive one covered the body from
the waistline upward, leaving the hips
practically unprotected. Reaching
from ones chest to waist, 1t gradually
diminished In size toward the latter
point, where it again widened slightly,
ending not more than two inches be-
low the waistline. The top and Dot
tom edges were finished with white
leather binding.
During recent years-clothes having
taken to straight lines-many women
of both France and America nave
worn either no corset at all or one
quite lightly boned. Gradually, how
ever, they are beginning to perceive
the need of some support, however
slight u may be. Particularly Is this
true of the French woman, who was
the originator Of the corsetless mode
according to an interview with the
head of one of our largest American
manufacturing concerns, who recently
returned from Paris.
The women of America are under
the impression that their French Sis
ters have entirely dispensed with cor

HATS ARE OF MANY C0L0RS
Wide Range sof Tints Adds to Charm
and Variety Of Smart Wom-
ans Toilet.

The wide range Of tint; offered In
this season of colors adds to the
charm and variety Of the smart wom-
ans toilet, but it also necessitates q
happy eye for color In choosing the
hat to top ones smartest spring cos
tune. This delicate sense of coioring
may be called into play to select from
an assortment of queer browns and
blues, yellows, reds and greens, the
tone which will blend to perfection
with the suit or frock In question. For
MANY of tir. tints offered are more or
less "aueer" variations Of the good old
fashioned colors which wero their fore
runners. There are delicate blues,
ranging from periwinkle through Or
child to the palest sky tints; yellow IN
which one may favor the new dent de
lion. or swing ones fancy from the
most brilliant of burnt orange to the
palest of canary tints.
The spring tendency for fabrics Of
higher luster has found q stanch ally
in the new sport satins which were
given a place Of prominence at New
York's spring fashion show. Immedi-
ately after this event, windows on the
avenue were blaze Of color, featur-
ing frocks and hats Of luster fabrics
in the new dent de lion yellow. This
new tint is more universally becoming
than the paler yellows Of former times
which had more Of green and less Of
gold In them.

tamped down. The number Of trees
which died Is very small compared
with the total number planted out.
The early paintings Of the developed
stock have flourished, many OF the
trees now being thirty feet or more In
height. The original heavy stand OF
grass on the ground has given way to
a thick floor Of decaying pine needles,
which, it is expected, will materially
change and improve the character OF
the soil. AS high as 80 per cent. OF the
trees planted in some years have lived
The average Is between 80 per cent
and 20 per cent.
The ranchers in the sand hills have
taken up the Idea Of reforestation, and
there is scarcely cattle ranch within
fifty miles of the national forest that
has not planted windbreak or wood
lot. Each year since 1912, when seed
Iings became available, the government
has given free to the ranchers as many
of the acclimated trees as they would
agree to plant and care for. AS re-
suit the whole character Of the des-
pised "sand hills" Is gradually under
going a change, and 1t is expected In
time that the terrific winds which
heretofore have swept the hills with
out interference will be much tenn
pered.
When the project Is completed the
Nebraska National forest will be one
Of the very largest bodies OF artificial
forestation In the world.

CAPTAIN JACK, THE MARTYR OF

The minister declined.

a Californian named Ben Wright had

hero for the deed. Among these was
Captain Jacks father.
Captain Jack was hanged, but other
Modocs with blacker records went free
because they deserted him and joined
the soldiers in hunting him down. Al
first he had protested at the plot 70

we term a short corset or girdle tney
classify as belt.
There is no change whatever In the
lires of corsets. At present there Is
no indication of the waistline becom-

larger. The prevalent style In France
is a model extremely low. not very
long and quite lightly boned. For
evening wear the backs are entirely
cut away. So many French women
have returned to the corset in the past
month that sales have increased 50
