Enlisted men of the navy, travel.
ing by privately owned automobiles
on change Of station are not entitled
to reimbursement for any expenses
connected with sail travel under a
decision Of the Comptroller General.
BY orders Of the Bureau of Navi-
cation, three enlisted men were de-
tached from duty at Lakehurst. for
duty at the United States helium
production plant, Fort Worth, Tex,
and authority was granted to per-
form the travel in the privately
owned automobile of one of the
men. The expenses incurred by
the three men in performing the
travel by machine amounted to
$209.25, for gasoline, oil, lodging,
subsistence, tire. and tube, ferry
charges, bridge toll, and night stor-
age for the machine, pro rata ex'
pense for each man of $69.75.
The Navy Department approved
the claim, in the amount of $61.67
for each man, disappearing the
the reason that that was purchased
troller General said however:
while the orders directed travel
by private transportation, this mode
OF travel was designated in pursu
ance of the request of. the enlisted
men. Transportation in kind by
usual means could have been fur
nished them at point of departure
Where a service is authorized to be

ton in kind. OF the $1S5 approved
by the department, 1925 represents
expenses of subsistence, clearly not
payable under an appropriation for
transportation. Twelve days were
consumed in travel, or approx.
mately nine days more than would
have been required for the travel
by rail. The order specifically pro.
vides for delay, in the circum.
stances presented, the equivalent OF
furlough."
There has been much discussion
among officers Of the navy as to
the relative value of large and
small aircraft carriers. but there
has been no opportunity to deter
mine the questions involved by the
actual use of large carriers. The
U. S. S. Langley, the only carrier
in the naval service, has a displace-
ment of $4,000 tons. The ship,
which was converted from the old
collier Jupiter, was commissioned
merely for experimental purposes,
for it has not sufficient speed to
keep up with the battleships.
The carriers Lexington and Sara
tOga, now in the course Of con-
struction, will have a displacement
of 43,500 tons each. The Saratoga
has been launched, but will not be
completed for q year or two, and
the Lexington will be put into the
water next month and completed
within two years.

Calling Him "Parson !"
BY JEAN NEWTON.

In the word "parSon" for the min
lister or the preacher we have a curl
GUS example of the strange working
of words. For ''parson" is a corrup-
ton of person" and in its applica-
ton to the minister we find a story of
theological principle which has been
lost sight of in the modern use of the
word.
The word person" as corrupted to
''parson," and applied to the preacher,
had its origin in the belief that in the
person of the priest the church is
represented. Among Trinitarians the
word person" had the theological
significance of being one of the three
modes of being in the Godhead (the
Father, the Son, the Holy GhosO.
In its early use the term signified a
Catholic priest as we'll as a Protestant
minister. But today we find it's use
restricted, usually, to the latter. As
a matter of fact, the term is employed
more in sense Of levity, the man
speaking seriously of his pastor be-
ing more likely to refer to him as the
pastor or the minister than as the
''parson." 1t is in country districts
that the term persists, "Parson
Brown" being a provincialism with
which we are all familiar.

New Color Fads i'm Autumn STYLES

and generally unbecoming color as
magenta ever enjoyed such high IA
vor among fashionable women.
Some future generation may re
view the colors worn by us and find
therein some clue to the understand
ing of the period in which we live.
Among the colors which are spoken OF
at present, "bois de rose" In it's vari-
Gus graduations should be mentioned
first. BLACK prince" though intro
duced last year, is to be strong this
Autumn. This is named in honor of
rosa very dark red rose much
admired in FranCe-and the color is
included now among ehe rich, deep
wine tones. Another wine tone that
is spoken of for Autumn IS called cur
rant. 1t is the color of the purple
black currant of France.
Just at present smart thoroughfares
in this country are as brilliant with
various shades of indigo blue as they
were a few months earlier with shades
of pansy purple. The pansy purple
was overdone and cheapened past i'm
mediate restoration. This new deep.
vibrant blue goes by a number OF
names. Some one calls it blue jay,
another commander blue, another pen
Gil blue, and another royal blue. There
really are subtle differences between
these different blues, but they are all
vivid and vibrant.
Apple green is a naive, simple sort
of color that French dressmakers have
stressed this Summer, but with
Autumn Will come more of the green
called Veronese.

The use to which filet designs
can be put are so numerous that
there seems to be no end to the ideas
that can be developed, using them as
the inspiration. They can be en-
ployed in croSs-stitch equally well
as in crochet. Use cross-stitch can
vas and count the squares as spaces
and work the blocks. The designs
may be developed in self tones with
the materials, in contrasting hues, or
In as many shades as the pattern
warrants. This is an excellent meth
cd of using filet designs for bags,
which may match costumes, or har-
monize with them. If developed in
f1let crochet, white bags are charm
ing especially with white frocks.
Natural colored linen thread makes
some of the most pleasing crocheted
bags for Summertime and they can
be carried with any colored cos
tune.
The entire bag may be of mesh,
with the owners initials deity Gro
cheted in the center. A simple bor-
der is made by working alternate
blocks and spaces in the third or fifth
row of the crochet work. In the next
row make the blocks come above the
spaces in the previous row. In the
third row ot this border have the
blocks the same as in the first row.
AS you crochet back and forth caIcu-
late correctly to make the borders at
each side come as they should con-
form to that along the bottom. Do
not make the border as an after
thought and catch it into the spaces
already made.
The bottom of the bag may be fin
ished with fringe by pulling several
double strands of cotton of the same
length through a space in the lowest
mesh. Put the loose ends through
