that suicide = the ceremonial Hara Xiii, disembOwelment with Q sword would be almost automatic for men involved. A Japanese navy spokesman disclosed that some pilots, involved in previous attacks Gn foreigners, had been sent home in disgrace and that others had been "Otllerwisev punished. It was as- eutned that some Of these men might now be dead, suicides.
 Survivors of the attack on the PAnay and the Standard oil ships were on their way down the Yang tse river in American and British gznbcats, escorted by Japanese warships.
 Survivor Recovering
 Three og the survivors brought here by Q Japanese rescue plane were recovering from wounds re- ceived iu the attack. Jim Marshall, Seattle writer for Golfers Weekly, went to hospital today in compli- axlce with his physician's request for examination. His condition was said to he fairly satisfactory. Mar shall suffered wounds from bomb fragments in his neck, cheeks, shoulder and abdomen.
 c. Q. Vines, Roanoke, Va, eT1. pioyed by the British American Ti- bacco Company, was reported to be "fairly coEifortable" ct the Country Hospital.
 vines principal wound was in the hand and surgeons feared that a tendon had been severed.
 John L. Hodge. Siluria, Ala, storeieeper of the Panay, was the third of the survivors, brought here. Ills head was gashed and his legs laeeratsd. But Ae reported to Ad- miral Harry '. Yarnell, commander in chief of the American Navy in Chinese waters, and remained aboard the admirals flagship, the cruiser Augusta, where he was rec ported to be rapidly regaining normal condition.
 Whole Story Not Told
 The whole story of the attack on tire Panay, and the gallant defense of the American crew of the little ship as she slowly sank under at- tack from 0. fleet of Japanese war planes, remained still to be told. The survivors who arrived here had g1ven their stories. But the victims oE the attack on the four United @tases ships were scattered after they reached shore.
 It was apparent that the survivors went through 'arl ordeal. There were separate plane attacks on the Panay and the Standard oil boats. Machine guns fired on the ships from shore. Some of the survivors, seeking shelter after they landed, were involved in exchanges of fire between Japanese and Chinese tSWopS.
 Lives still In Peril
 yt was reported today that even aS the survivors stood at the front at Hohsien. where the rescued ships embarked them Tuesday night their lives were irnperiled. It was said tl,at Japanese troops aboard 0 Red Gross launch and Chinese soldiers began c fight in which the bullets endangered the survivors. Then other Japanese boats came to rein- force their men.

Terracing Is Effective
in Controlling Erosion

Terracing is the ultimate and
most effective method of contro1-
ling erosion on cultivated fields, as
serts writer in the Missouri Farm
err. A combination of terracing I'd
contour or strip farming reduces
the soil losses to a negligib 2
amount. No part of terrace gra
dent should exceed 0.4 foot in 10'
feet and the total length of ter
race should never exceed 1000 feet.
Flatter grades and shorter lengths
are much better. None of the ter
race slopes should ever be sleeper
than one foot vertical rise to four
feet horizontal run. The top terrace
should always be constructed first,
and the others in consecutive order,
down the slope.
The provision of suitable outlets
for terraces is very important. Ar
tificial outlets are usually more sat-
isfactory than natural channels as
they can be so constructed as to
prevent channel erosion. The essen
tial steps in gully control in order
of Importance are: stopping head
growth, prevention of floor securing
and side erosion, and filling of the
gully. A diversion ditch above the
head of the gully will often stop
head growth; otherwise an engi-
neering structure at the gully head
is essential. Y.

not deliberately lace-trimmed as so
many are, they still have details of
lace and net trimmings, of tiny
edgings of val lace to appeal to
the well-groomed lady.
There are all manner of negli-
gees and hostess gowns. The satin
ones, lavish with lace, are easily
the most popular this season. Bed
jackets of all shapes and types are
more fascinating than ever. Some
are made in cape design and tie
loosely in front. The model shown
in the center inset is of allover
lace with wide satin border front.
In a way this charming little cape
bed-jacket might be classed with
the so called lingerie accessories
which Paris designers are advo-
eating this season. Such, for in
stance, is the "bib" to be worn
over night dresses. It is grand
gift item for a convalescent or in
valid. It's a frilly lace front piece
to slip on at moments notice
over the "nightie." The one pic
tured in the upper inset is done
in circular ruf1es of lace with
ribbon ties about the throat. It is
said that it is becoming quite a
fad to make your own lingerie ac-
cessories.
Describing the lovely gowns pic
tured, the one to the left is of she'll
pink satin with deep appliqued yoke
of Alencon lace in the new light
ecru shade which is so good this
season. The lovely skirt edge, with
its lace slit up the front, features
the new trend toward fine details.
Soft yellow is used for the in
teresting nightdress on the seated
figure with its diagonal neckline and
one-side shoulder strap. The lace
motifs applied are carried out also
in the matching slip and panties
which form the perfect ensemble.

In a Velvet Gown

1t is a far cry from the Arabs
at Ell Fustade near Cairo to the
looms of velvet on this continent,
says the Montreal Herald. More
than 1000 years have elapsed since
our earliest records of velvets
among the Persians and East In
dians. From the Arabs the art of
velvet weaving went to the Span
iards, then to Sicily, and, in the
Sixteenth century, into France
where it developed under the skill
of the most creative and intelligent
hand-looms to power-looms, to meet
the volume of demand, the process
Of weaving has gone on. Velvet is
woven in two pieces at a time
face to face and cut with a knife
afterward, leaving a straight erect
pile-the test of all pile velvets.
First, heavy thick velvets were
made, later finer types of velvets
known as Lyons, then chiffon velvets
and after that the slenderizing,
draping material known as trans
parent velvet.

Creosote Makes
Stronger Posts
Preservative Treatment an
Aid in Making Inferior
Material Last.

By J. E. Davis. Extension Forester. Uni
versity of Illinois.-WNU Service.
Even willow and pin oak fence
posts can be made to last Is years
or more if given a preservative
treatment with coaltar creosote.
If fence posts are treated with
preservatives, inferior species re-
moved from the farm woodland in
improvement cuttings may be util-
lied and the more valuable species
left to grow timber. Treating is not
a difficult operation, and treating
plant can be set up easily at little
expense. Cost of material for treat
ment varies from to 10 cents
post.
Since green or split posts will
not do for treating, the posts should
be cut a year in advance, peeled
and stacked loosely off the ground
to season thoroughly. The 100-gal-
lon drum in which creosote is OBJ
tanned can easily be made into a
post-treating tank by cutting out
the head and setting the drum on
a brick or stone base SO that fire
can be built beneath it. A good
thermometer that will register up
to the boiling point is the only other
essential equipment.
After 20 to Is four-inch posts are
in the drum, enough creosote is
added to bring the level to about
three feet The creosote is then
heated to 100 to 300 degrees Fab
renheit, with this temperature
maintained for five hours and the
creosote kept at the three-foot level.
The fire is then drawn and the tank
completely filled with creosote. AT
ter cooling for ten hours, the posts
are removed, the upper ends dipped
in the creosote, then stood up to
dry and the process repeated on
another group of posts.
Species of trees providing posts
that require treatment are pines,
hickories, naples, poplars, willows,
red oak, black oak, pin oak, syca-
more, gum, American elm, ash,
Eastwood, buckeye, ironwood and
birch. Species providing moderately
durable posts which are improved
by treatment are red elm, black
cherry, butternut, sassafras, arbor
vitae and tamarack. Those durable
without treatment are hedge, black
locust, mulberry, red cedar, white
oak, post oak, burr oak, honey To-
Gust and catalpa.

SILKS FOR SPRING
STRESS HIGH COLOR

Edward Molyneux, style author
ity, predicts a riot of color for
spring. In monotones as in prints,
color is the watchword.
A wide range of blue tones is
being accented in spring silks.
Misty blues and strong purple
blues are new, and the middle tones
of blue also register. Purple is new
ly accented.
The capucine range is an impor-
tant one, highlighting glowing yell
low orange and pumpkin tones.
Henna and horsechestnut rank high,
with the former striking a new note
for evening. A hint of ashes-of-roses
overlays the copper range as it is
interpreted for resort and spring
1887. Brownish gold is another i'm
portant tone to watch.
Beige and other neutral tones are
expected to prove important, as a
contrast to the vivid color ranges.
The red range ranks high. Cherry
red, cerise, ashes-of-roses, mauve
pink and pale mauve red are lead
ing tones.
A wide range of green tones in
cludes bright yellow green, tur-
quoise green, reseda green and
strong hues.

eternal feminine in us keep longing

delectably colorful lace trimmed
silken nighties, slips, pantie sets,

others such as designers are this
season placing before the enrap-
tured eyes of beauty-seeking wom-
ankind.
Even so, the esthetic viewpoint is
but half the story, for there is a
practical side to the question that
those skilled in the art of dress
keep ever in mind, namely, a cos
tune to be fashion-correct and of
comely appearance must build from
the foundation up. Wherefore, it is
as important to have a wardrobe
of lingerie as of outer apparel.
Which is why creators of modern
lingerie are devoting so much of
time and talent, thought and study
to the fashioning of under garments
that because of their perfection of
lines and subtle fit, act as "frst-aid"
toward the charm and style-right-

Lightning Takes Course
Like River Shown on Map

The ancient Greeks believed that
lightning consisted of heavy spear
like projectiles which had been heat
ed white-hot and cast at offending
mortals and objects, with none too
accurate aim, by their head god
Zeus.
The primitive Germans attributed
lightning to bolts thrown by a mali
cious god named Loki while the
dull-witted war god, Thor, pounded
on the sky with hammer to make
thunder. In fact, writes DR.. Thorn
as M. Beck in the Chicago Tribune,
almost all primitive peoples be-
lieved lightning was a sort of ma
terial missile hurled by vindictive
god. This theory died out in Eu-
rope with the rise of Christianity,
since it was difficult to reconcile the
idea of lightning as a manifesto
ton of divine wrath with the OBJ
servation that it seemed to strike
church steeples more often than
anything else.
Still we should not smile too much
at the mistaken beliefs of these
long-dead Greeks and Germans. We
are not very well informed on it
ourselves. The average man knows
that it consists of electricity, that
it zigzags in Z-shaped straight lines,
and that it never strikes twice in
the same place. Armed with this
knowledge, he is two-thirds wrong.
Lightning is certainly a discharge
of static electricity, as Benjamin
Franklin showed many years ago.
But there is nothing at all straight

Stringless Celery

1t is time to stop growing celery
with strings in it, says Cornell Agri-
cultural college. Experts have test
ed these strings and found that one
of them is capable of holding the
weight of half gallon of water.
A breeding plan to eliminate the
string is described by one of the
professors of the Agricultural col
lege. Crossing various strains of
celery, he explained, already has
proved that undesirable qualities
can be replaced.

Ration for Colts

Colts that have been weaned ordi-
narily will develop satisfactorily on
daily ration of three-fourths of
pound of grain per 100 pounds of
live weight, with good quality rough
age being offered free choice. The
amount of grain to feed in particu-
lar case, says Wallaces Farmer,
depends upon how rapidly one
wants the colt to develop. Colts
that are fed relatively heavy ra-
ton, however, tend to develop I'm.
soundnesses of feet and legs.
