Small Hats Favored by
Women Who Follow Mode

Small hats with high, crushable
crowns In felt, velvet or velours are
considered the smartest headgear for
the season. Occasionally we see a
wide-brimmed velvet model, but these
do, not seem consistent for the sleek,
boyish head which is decreed by
Dame Fashion.
Colors in millinery like colors in
costumes, run to black, browns, chanel
red, jungle green's, valencia blue and
orangeish nasturtium shades. Trim

guishes the new bonnet from those we
have been wearing. Where the simple
ribbon crown band was formerly used
we now find bands Of leather and fur
trimming most Of the smart shapes.
The fur or leather crown band
merely replaces the ribbon band.
Bands Of pony and short-clipped calf
fur, often finished with straps and
buckles of leather, are used in single
or narrow double band effect. The
Russian inspiration is found on some
turbans where fur forms wide front

Fiddler Grab One of
Oddities of Nature

There Is one member of the crab
family for which the Latin name Is
Gelasimus, meaning ''laughable." The
name seems appropriate, for he is a
very queer little fellow. says the Mont
real Star. The male has one claw
of immense size, the other being quite
small. The big claw is brightly col
ored, and when he runs he waves 1t
about as IL he were energetically
beckoning. or playing a stirring tune
on a violin; hence he is often known
as the calling crab" or fiddler crab"
Fiddler crabs inhabit various parts
of the world and usually are found
in large numbers on muddy or sandy
fats left dry by the tide, where they
may be seen hurrying over the sand
or peering out of their holes, into
which they vanish when alarmed. The
holes. about foot deep. are made
by the crab digging up and carrying
away mud or sand.

MOVING PICTURES AND
VISION

LIVERY new activity brings with 1t
~ some new and appropriate pen
atty. Ever since the inoving-picture
industry began its unprecedented de-
velopment, discussion has been going
on as to the effect Of moving pic
lures on the eyes. Were they seri-
Gus strain on vision? Would continu-
GUS or frequent attendance on the
movies produce any serious injury
to the eyes? Many opinions were ex-
pressed by oculists. Much contradic-
! ton came from movie producers and
managers.
Then the discussion died down. The
methods of taking and projecting pic
lures improved. The machines were
greatly improved. The moving picture
~theater became feature In even the
smallest village.
Now comes an interesting report,
read at recent meeting Of the Sec
ton on ophthalmology Of the Ameri-
can Medical association, on the effect
OF moving pictures ON the eyes. APP
propriately enough, this study and re-
port is made by two eye specialists
Of Los Angeles, DR.. A. r. Irwin and
DR.. M. r. Weyman. Surely, If ample
material for a study on this subject
can be found anywhere, 1t is In Los
Angeles.
Articles written years ago, these au-
thors say, are of little value, as the
Objectionable features Of that period,
such as Pickering, unsteady light, ETC.,
have been removed. The development
of the colored picture adds new fac
tor to the problem. What effect do
the moving pictures of today have on
the eyes?
Special instruments for measuring
eye strain were devised. Suitable
rooms for thorough experiments were
furnished by the producers. A group
Of $50 persons was secured for the
experiments. This group was made
up Of college and university students,
high-school pupils, business men and
others.
Each volunteer was first examined
as to vision Then each person
watched a picture for an hour and a
half. The eyes were then examined
again. Then each person read mag
azine for forty-f1ve minutes. Then
the eyes were examined again.
The results show that reading for
forty-five minutes tired the eyes more
than watching movie for an hour
and half. Colored pictures tired the
eyes less than plain black and white.
AS whole, the result of the expert.
ments was that the only persons who
suffer from eyestrain from moving pic
lures are those who cannot do any eye
work without eye fatigue.

Winsome School Frocks
Made of Sheer Fabrics

While schoolgirl fashions are Of ne
cessity simple in line and trimming,
their chic is undeniable. This au-
tumn, as in the summer, sheer mate
rails are used extensively in the fash
ioning of frocks for the girl of school
and college age. Chiffons in pastel or
brilliant colors, tulle in striking color
contrasts and lace dyed to match the
shade Of the frock itself are chosen
for youthful models that are as charm
ing and smart as they are simple.
Tulle frocks, while not so practical
as those of chiffon, are exquisite. In
the wardrobe of schoolgirl is de-
lightful little frock, which has skirt
composed Of alternate fiounces Of
black and white tulle. The waist is
of white taffeta.

UNLIMITED FRACTURES

EVERYBODY knows that when a
Z - bone in the animal body is brok-
en-, nature Immediately starts In to re-
pair the damage. If the bone is only
broken part way through and is bent
or twisted by the force that broke 1t,
then 1t is called "green stick frac-
/ ture" because 1t has broken like
tough, green stick. When this hap
pens, there Is little dislocation Of the
fragments, and all the limb needs Is
to be Strengthened out into the proper
position and held there until the bone
knits. This is more apt to happen to
children and young persons, In whom
theFbones are still young!
But when the bones have become
fully formed and have plenty of lime
salts in them, then they are brittle
and are apt to break clean and sharp,
clear across and to form at least two
pieces. Here the two fragments must
be placed In line and held there by
splints. Almost as soon as the frac-
ture takes place, nature throws a pro-
tective bandage around the two brok-
en- ends and tries to unite the frag-
ments. In most cases, this, In time,
bridges over the gap and as this cal.
lous becomes hard, 1t forms literally
bridge of new bone that eventually
becomes as hard or harder than the
original bone before the fracture.
So surgeons work in a fracture
is to see that the two ends are brought
together and held in proper position,
while nature unites them. But some
times they don't unite or the union
is delayed SO long that both surgeon
and patient begin to fear that they
are never going to unite. These cases
are called delayed union or nonunions.
What's the trouble here with natures
schedule?
In a recent issue of the Southern
Medical Journal, Dr. NJ S. Henderson
of the Mayo clinic at Rochester, Mimi,
discusses this question. From the rec
ords Of the Mayo hospital he has stud
led $50 cases of unlimited fractures.
Two hundred and thirty-one of these
were in the shafts o. long parts of
long bones. In 63 the failure Of the
bones to unite was. due to the fact
that the ends had not been brought
together or had not been held In that
position. In IL cases, wire or metal
plates had been used to hold the bones
together and these had evidently
failed of their<purpose. In a number
of cases, where the ends are widely
separated, fiber of muscle may get
between the ends and keep them from
growing together In some cases,
where the fracture Is caused by &C.
we're crushing injuries, the limb may
be so badly injured that it hasn't vi
tality enough to enable the bones to
grow together. In other cases, the pa
tient may endeavor to use the LIMB too
soon and so pull the fragments apart.

Boston described at the recent meet

how he gave Rhode Island Red pullets
daily doses of cod liver oil. rich in
vitamine A. Although the hens laid
more and larger eggs as result Of
this stimulation. it did not hurt them
physically. They showed increased
vitality, did not lose weight, and had

ANNAPOLIS, Nd. March 22.--That
papers of eleven candidates who took
examination for the Naval Academy
under civil service regulations at
Salisbury, Md, on February II last
We're held up on account of irregu-
larities. was stated this morning by
Rear Admiral Louis NJ. Mutton. super
tntendent of the Naval Academy.
Similarity III certain answers and
solutions gave rise to suspicion that
copying had been resorted to. Four
sets OF paperS are said to have borne
this evidence.
Candidates who took the cXamina-
tions at Salisbury had generally pre-
pared for them at Annapolis. and this
circumstance pointed To Il possible
leak In advance, as the questions are
forwarded to the civil service officials
In various places who conduct the
examinations.
Admiral Mutton stated today that
ne had no facts that such a leak had
occurred The whole affair is being
investigated.
Should 1t be proved that any can
ddate has made use OF unfair means
he would be refused admission to the
academy.
The affair has caused more inter
est and discussion around the academy
and Annapolis than any incident con-
nected with that institution for years.
A number of the youths who took the
examination at Salisbury are still in
Annapolis, and are awaiting the re-
suit of the official Investigate tion.
The last incident which was in any
way OF the same nature as the one
now being probed was in 1916, when
1t was found that candidates at one
point had advance Information as to

DISTRICT HEADS URGE
STRONGER AUTO LAW
Testify Today Before Senate Group
on Revocation of Drivers
Permits.

District officials are testifying before
the Senate District committee this
afternoon in explanation of the bill
passed by the House to give Traffic
Director Eldridge additional authority
to suspend and revoke automobile
operators permits for sufficient cause
and making several other amendments
to the original traffic act.
The original law made revocation
of permits mandatory following vio-
lation of certain serious charges, but
District authorities have felt that
there should be broader power to sus-
pend permits in other cases where 1t
is in. the interest of public safety.
The bill pending would allow for an
appeal to the District Court of Ap-
peals from the action of the director
In suspending or revoking permits.
Another important feature of the
Bill changes the fee for an operators
permit to 50. but makes permit
good for three years, whereas the
original law requires renewal an
nually. The local division OF the A..
A. A. has requested the District COM
mittee to consider changing this pro-
vision to a one-dollar fee for a permit
good for Ave years.
