Navy'S First Cruise Ends.

NEW LONDON, Conn. April ).
11l6.-The Navy of the United Col
onies is again in home waters after
its first cruise in the service of the
continent. Its homecoming has been
marked by successes in capturing four
enemy ships, one of them yesterday,
one early this morning and two this
evening. These are the only en-
counters with British vessels which
Commodore Esek Hopkins and his
squadron have had since they put out
to sea from Cape Henlopen. at the
entrance to Delaware Bay. on Febru-
AIRY Il.
For several weeks there has been
much conjecture as 10 the where
abouts of the fleet. II had sailed with
orders to seek out enemy ships along
the coast of the southern colonies,
but to a large extent the commodore
was left free to make a raiding eX-
pedition to the Bahamas in search
OF British military supplies if he
found conditions unfayorable for
closing in on the. enemy. 1t is not
Vet known what considerations de
Iermined his course. but ii is learned
here tonight. though the ships have
not yet entered port. that they sailed
directly To the Island of Nassau, and
from there came straight home. bring

Good Habits for Riding

Your riding habit is almost as i'm
portant as your horse when you go
out one of these early Spring morn
ings for the first gallop of the sea
son. II you need new habit or if
you have been using a makeshift
outfit, or If you have been borrowing
Cousin James until you were sure
you would like riding, now Is the
time to get posted on what's right
among riding habits.
In the first place, there are two
kinds of riding habits, one for women
who ride astride and another for
women who use the side saddle. The
materials which you will find in cor
rect riding habits are the same as
men wear--whipcord. homespun, mel
ton and bedford cord. For Summer
riding habits are made of linen. duck.
pongee and flannel
In America there are few women
who are now riding side saddle. The
habi3 for the side saddle consists OF a
fitted-in coat, breeches and what is
called an apron skirt" If you ride
in the park, or own a show horse,
you may wear black melton or broad
cloth, etc. For the sake of your own
comfort and safety wear an apron
skirt that is quite short. Many
women wear coat of one material
and breecheS of another This is
economical, because a coat will ordi-
narily outWear ones breeches.
For riding astride you will wear
the same sort of a habit as your
husband or brother wears. Make Ger
tain your coat fits snugly and that
it's flaring skirt covers the saddle
and meets in front. Riding breeches

Sure Way to Get Rid Of Dandruf

Girls-if you want plenty OF thick,
beautiful, glossy. silky hair. do by
all means get rid of dandruff, for it
will starve your hair and ruin it if
you don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
comb or wash it out The only
sure way to get rid of dandruff is
to dissolve it; then you destroy it en-
tirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon !;
apply it at night when retiring: use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning. most. if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and two
or three more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop,

bought at comparatively small cost.
1t does not of course, comprise q COM
plete frock, but at the same time III
has the finish and line which only a
professional can impart. The nome
dresSmaker or amateur who makes
the robe into a finished frock faces a
not very difficult pr oblem. All that
is necessary is a slip of some sort TO
wear beneath.
The black lace robe is a favorite at
all seasons. This Spring several OF
the leading French dressmakers have
been combining black with shades
of pink. Light bois de rose or ecru
have also been successfully combined
with black. If you want an attrac-
tive foundation for your black lace,
make a slip of light pink fiat crepe
with wide band of black at the hem,
If you like, you may make the slip
somewhat shorter than the lace.
The robe shown Is of handmade
ecru lace. 1t may be made up at
tractively if posed over a slightly
flaring slip Of ecru of a slightly roster
hue A bow of brownish pink ribbon
might be placed at one hip.
But before you buy a robe make
sure either that you are expert enough
to make it up yourself or that you
have dreSSmaker who will do it for
you. If you are not expert you might
much better save your money toward
a finished frock. For there is nothing
quite SO dowdy looking as robe put
on any old slip by an ineXpert dress
maker.
Sometimes you can get just the help
you need right in the store where
you buy your robe. In another de
partment you may find the slip you
need, Go with slip and robe to a fit
ting room and ask for filter, who
with deft fingers and sure eye will
assemble these two pieces and see
just what sewing will be necessary
to make them into presentable
whole. OF course. such service adds
to the original cost, but compared to
the amount that an outside dress
maker would charge it is not eXorbi
tant.

Breeches for riding astride are re
inforced at the thigh with leather
inserts. Sometimes these inserts don't
cover the whole area of the thigh
that rubs against the saddle. Make
sure that yours does. II you can, try
on your boots before YOU buy your
breeches. The tops Of your boots
should come well over the ends Of
your breeches. A loose waistline I'm
breeches will mean folds in the gar
ment and folds mean chafing and dis
comfort.
Get boots that viii wear Patent
leather and kid boots have a smart
appearance, but a good calf boot look $
as we'll and will outwear two of the
other kind. COrdovan boots aren't
very satisfactory. They are very
warm, and perspiration and rain
rots the stitches out. Once the
stitches start giving your cordovan
boots ire beyond repair. Buy the best
boots YOU can afford and thus save
money. Good boots fit better and
wear better than any cheap ones you
can buy.

PUTNAM HAS DEAF MUTE
 AUTOMOBILE DRIVER
Fewer Accidents If Girls Had Deaf Sweetheart Drivers,
 Says Supt. Hurley
More Alert Because of Affietion.-
 Given Severe Test

Deaf mutes make good automobile i drivers according Co Robert T. Hur- ley, superintendent Of state police Putnam has one of the few such driv- CTS licensed by the state motor vehicle department. He is Fred Jarvis. fs. son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Jarvis i and a nephew of Captain of Police ] William Jarvis The boy is A pupil at ' the school for the deaf and dumb in ! Hartford and while he can say few words IS stone deaf but has learned | lip reading He is considered a good driver by those who know him, bear ing out the opinion of Superintendent Hurley.
 The theory of a deaf mute being better driver many times than q person with all of his senses. accord ing to the superintendent. Is that the less talking a driver does the better and that a deaf mute is often more sensitive te traffic conditions than those who can hear
 Superintendent Hurley said recent ":
 An Advantage
 "Dumbness is now considered an advantage in the operation of a car. There would be fewer accidents if girls who ride in automobiles all had deaf sweethcarts. Deafness of the applicant always raises an interesting question. Examiners are instructed Co give special attention Co such ap- plicauts and determine thoroughly whether they can safely drive ears"
 Superintendent Hurley finds that in a large number of eases of deafness has Sc increased the acuteaess of nerve sensations that the deaf driver is more alert than one who can hear. He emphasized. however, that no deaf person had ever been given a license without special examination of the effect of his disability on his driving.
 Useless Whistle
 Policemen are considerate of the deaf mute driver Young Jarvis was driving to his fathers cottage at Oak land Beach recently. He stopped in Providence and when he started on forgot Co light the lights An officer whistled to attract his attention. He Nhistled az 4iu and yet again but Jar wis kept on until his father. who was riding with him. pulled his sleeve and mo.ionea for him to stop. The police man came along side ready to d. or say things but when the situation was explained to him he was very coprte- ous.
