INVESTIGATE GAS
BREAK IN HAMBURG
Ministry Of Economy to Conduct
the Probe

Berlin, May "a (P-The federal
ministry OF economy is making an
official Investigation into the phos-
gene gas catastrophe which struck
the city OF Hamburg early this
week
The ministry was stated to be the
competent authority in such mat
ters lnasmuch as the Reichswehr
is not in possession OF stocks Of
poison gases. II also was stated
that there have been no restrictions
imposed upon Germany prohibiting
traffic in phosg nc for commercial
purposes.
At city council discussion of the
phosgene disaster, Chief of Police
Schoenfelder reproached the Reichs-
weir for having handed over the
remnants of war phosgene to indus
trial circles instead of assuming re-
sponsibllity for their immediate de-
struction,
Not Made in Hamburg
An official police statement at
Hamburg says that the phosgene
was neither manufactured by Hugo
Stolzenberg, at whose plant IT was,
nor elsewhere in Hamburg.
The Neue Berliner Zeitung today
says that the disaster points out the
danger which menaces German
cities in future warfare from air
planes held in readiness in all other
European countries, totalling a.
600, whereas Germany alone is un-
armed for chemical war.
1t declares that Germany docs
not intend ever again to take an
active part in war but that there
is danger that the country in some
future war will become the battle
field upon which other combatants
will settle their disputes. In addi-
ton gas clouds are not confined by
any frontiers and inevitably would
perNade German territory from
other countries at war

BAKED LENTILS

Lentils come chiefly from Europe,
where they are greatly enjoyed in
many ways. They are often simply
soaked and boiled until tender, and
then served as a vegetable, or they
may be made into soup, somewhat as
pea soup is made. The following recipe
for baked lentils, to be served as a
main dish at luncheon or supper or
as side dish with other foods, is
from the bureau of home economics
u Id. salt pork tbs. molasses
IL cups lentils u tsp. mustard
1 " cups pork broth " tsp. salt
! onion
Soak the lentils overnight in four
cups of water, and drain. Cut the pork
into slices and cook it in one pint
of water for fifteen minutes. To the
pork broth add the molasses, salt,
and mustard. Place a slice of pork
and the onion in the bottom of the

which the pudding is to be served,
pour over the custard and cover with
a meringue, using the whites beaten

the pudding after placing the fruit.
Serve well chilled.

used. Pour over the strip or liquor

one, and also after the style of the one
shown on the brimmed hat to the right
below, are playing a cunning part to-
ward "feminizing" the new millinery
modes of the day.
The three brimmed types shown here
beSpeak the trend of current millinery
styles. That is very smart brim
silhouette achieved by the natural col
ored hand-sewed straw shape to the
left, due to the fact that it is widened
at the sides, and narrowed at the
back.
The hat with the velvet bow and
yelled so prettily as shown to the
right, also confirms the fact that be-
comingness is assured by the newer
models.
Note the flower-trimmed bangkok
which concludes this group. Is it not
charming? And what 'far cry" it is
from the snug felts we have been
wearing these many seasons past.

Dotted Swiss for Summer


dark or mixed colors that do not show
soil too readily are entirely appropri-
ate to wear on city streets and for
office or business In warm weather.
Simple, more or less tailored styles
should be chosen for dresses of this
kind.
One of the best of the cotton mate
rails for the purpose is dotted swiss,
which comes in variety of coOrs,
with both white and self-colored dots.
Dark blue, brown, gray, or forest
green swiss might be used to make the
dress illustrated. The back of it is in
one piece, but the front has a separate
skirt part with its fullness absorbed
in two inverted box plaits. Short
sleeves are used, but this is matter
of personal preference. The belt goes
entirely around the dress.
The long scalloped white collar,
which may be made of pique, linen
poplin, or cotton broadcloth, relieves
the garment of undue plainness. Two
such collars should be made and ar
ranged to snap in place so that a
clean one Is always on hand. The
scallops may be defined, as in the pic
ture, by fiat pearl buttons, or by an
embroidered dot or appliqued circle.
Pussy or elaborate embroidery should
not be used as it would conflict with
the character of the dress.

EREE, at last, from the tyranny of
L millinery sameness! This season
marks the dawn of new era in hat
OlOgy. Once again, after so long a
period of watchfu waiting and hoping,
women are to be allowed to choose
hats tuned TO their individuality. One
evidence of this is the return of brims.
Yes, brims. not camoufiaged brims, but
actual definite brims widening more
and more with the approach of sum-
mer, are i'm again. Thus is the SUI
premacy of the little molded-to-the-
head types now challenged.
Not that the advent of brims means
that ''finis' has been written across
the pages of the cap-ftting variety of
chapeaux. On the contrary, very
charming tight hats, especially skull
cap types, continue TO grace the MILL
merry picture. For instance, there is
the exceedingly smart model shown at

word" creation from Paris. One of

phasiZing for some time the impOr-
lance of such conveniences in the farm
home.
The board is we'll padded and the
padding is tackled on snugly. An outer
washable cover may be used with
board padded in this way. Farmers
Bulletin 1917, methods and Equip
ment for Home Laundering" says: "a
firmly padded fiat surface covered with
clean white cloth is necessary for good
results in ironing. If space permits.
it is more convenient to have table
for sheets and other fiat pieces, a
board for skirts and such garments,
and a sleeve board. If one board must
serve all purposes, ii should be fairly
long and wide, with one narrow end.
For padding the ironing-board the
double-faced cotton flannel used for
silence cloths on dining tables or an
old blanket is good. Enough thick
nesses of such material should be
used to give the surface spring, with
out making it cushiOny. Old sheets
may be used for the cover, but new
unbleached sheeting is better and not
expensive, as the width of the sheet
ing will make the length of the cover.
The cover may be hemmed and four
pieces of tape firmly sewed to each
side so that it can be easily put on
and taken off. Ready-made covers
laced together through eyelets are also
convenient A sheet of asbestos

or cloth for cleaning the iron should
