Sashes in Present-Day Wardrobes
BY MARY MARSHALL.

otherwise fastened, the ends hanging
down directly in front. The new
gypsy sash, as brought out in Paris
recently by Suzanne Talbot, fastens
at the left side, with the heavily
fringed ends of the girdle hanging at
that side. Needless to say, the long
fringe hangs somewhat longer there
than the skirt. The swing OF the
heavily fringed sash ends against the
little skirt of the frock beneath Is very
appealing.
Sashes seem to be playing an
important place in women's ward
robes and many of these are made
from wide ribbons. Sometimes tn
ends are raveled to make fringe.
Now that betting ribbon seems to
be used in such lavish amounts for
making hats, it seems also to have
been revived for the original purpose
of making belts. Belts of this sort,
fitted with buckles, are needed to com
plete some of the new sports costumes,
and some of the younger women have
started quite fad for ROman-striped
belts to wear with sweater or jumper
costumes.

$50 YEARS AGO TODAY
BY JONATHAN A. RAWsON, JR.
Story of the U. S. A.

Before the cannon could be discharged
second time, two or three of the
enemy boats were alongside the
Franklin, each of them supposed to
have as many men aboard as the
Franklin, which had only 21, includ.
ing officers, and it became a hand-to-
hand fight.
Mugford and his men piled those
alongside so closely with firearms,
spears and cutlasses with such in
trepidity, rapidity and success that
two boats We're soon sunk and all
their men either killed or drowned
In the thick of the encounter Mug
ford, while making a blow with Il
cutlaSs, received wound in the
breast He called to his lieutenant,
II am a dead man; don't give up the
vessel; you will be able to beat them;
if not, cut the cable and run her on
shore" and then expired in a few
minutes.
The enemy retired after the hand
to-hand fighting over the sides had
continued about a half hour, having
lost, according to one of thei. sur
vivors, at least 20 men. Meanwhile,
the Lady Washington, with only six
men aboard besides Capt. Cunning
ham, had stood off and driven away
four or five of the British boats. The
Franklin had but one man killed be
sides Capt Mugford. and there Were
no casualties on the Lady Washington.

Mugford Killed in Action.

BOSTON. May 10. 1776.-Capt:
James Mugford of the Continental
Navy was killed today in a hand-to-
hand action near Nantasket, which.
despite his death, resulted favorably
to the American cause. On the 18th
Capt. Mugford, in the Franklin, had
captured the British armed supply
ship Hope, and brought her safely
into this port directly under the eyes
of several enemy men.of-war This
morning, when he set out down the
bay in the Franklin in company with
the Lady Washington, commanded
by Capt. Cunningham. the enemy
followed in pursuit in 13 small boats.
and the Franklin's running aground
gave the Britishers a good oppor-
tunity of executing their plan
The Lady Washington came to
anchor near the Franklin when the
latter grounded, and the British small
boats appeared soon afterward. Capt.
Mugford hailed and received for ans
wer that they were from Boston. He
ordered them to keep off or he would
fire upon them. They begged him not
to fire, for they were going on board
him. Mugford instantly fired, and was
followed by all his men, then he
brought his broadside to bear and dis
charged his cannon loaded with
musket ball directly in upon them

HOW 1T STARTED
"Tell Tales Out of School"
BY JEAN NEWTON.

Don't tell tales out of school, we
say to a woman who is about to reveal
something which should be kept in
confidence, although she may be a
grandmother. long past her school
days. Since the reference is figura-
tive. however, the expression cannot
be said to be inappropriate.
The use of telling tales out of
school" as synonymous with giving
away a secret or publishing informa-
ton that should be kept strictly pri-
vate has flippant favor that makes
it smack of modern slang. And. yet
we can trace it back through the cen
turies to very early English speech.
It is in that quaint old tome dating
from 1916, John Heywood's PROV
CRIBS" which is the oldest collection
known of English colloQuial sayings.
that we find the first recorded use of
ITO tell tales out of schoole." Hence,
when we use the phrase we need not
fear the stigma of slang, but may, in
deed, consider ourselves as evidencing
eruditiOn.

Tricking Nematodes.

Among the most serious enemies OF
the sugar beet are the nematodeS that
inhabit the soil of fields where beets
have been grown continuously for
many years. Recently clever method
for getting rid of them was devised by
some Germans. who found that the
nematodeS detected minute traces OF
sugar in the soil water washed down
from a sugar beet field. To entrap
the nematodeS sugar was put in the
soil and allowed to seep through it in
water The nematodes all flocked TO
the sugar and then, when there was
a fine crop of them, the soil was steril-
lied with chemicals poisonous to
nematodeS and so the field was rid of
them.
