HATS! HOW WE adore them.
The mercury may soar and our
spirits may sag just a bit, but the
feminine personality being what it
is, woman never loses her interest
in hats. And a new chapeau can
lift tne's spirits as almost nothing
else can. A new hat and new
hair-do are an infallible combina-
ton to brighten ones whole out
look.
The mid-sea son millinery is most
interesting, with styles ranging
from small bonnet-like caps to
enormous and dramatic cart
wheels The small caps, which hug
the head, have flowers and fruit
tumbling intriguingly over the fore
head, and worn way back on the
head are most attractive with sum-
mer sheer frocks.
New in this style hat is the pom
padour model Worn way, way back
on the head, it is especially design
ed to show off the pompadour ar
rangement of the front hair which
is so popular Just now. One ador-
able hat of this type is fashioned of
white pique gathered IN at the back
under a smart bow of black patent
leather. Another, seen recently at
a smart garden welding, was made
of black horsehair braid trimmed
with massed pink moss roses.
TurbanS are indispensable for
summer Perfect for riding in open
cars, for wear at spectator sports
and on windy days, they fill an i'm
portant niche in the wardrobe
Holding the hair in place and
framing the face attractively, tur-
bans are a nice addition to any
costume. Among the materials used
this year in the new wrap-arounds
are fishnet, jersey. Isle, crepe and
taffeta ribbon. One striking model
is shocking pink and white strip
ed Isle Jersey worn with matching
sweater. The ensemble is a stand
out in the grandstands.

 The announcement was made only few hours after the Bel gium Premier Hubert Pierlot stated that the Belgian govern ment decided to continue the war. Pierlot called on all Bel gians to continue to resist in con fidence of victory sooner or lat CT.

 The German high command de clared that the Allied armies pocketed in Flanders were doom ed.
 The British naval spokesman hinted that the expeditionary force was preparing to withdraw from the battle in Belgium but it was not immediately indicated whether the withdrawal would be from the continent or Belgium or merely a shifting of forces to the south to aid France. The na- val spokesman said they would face terrific obstacles in attempt ing to cross the channel. The Royal air force and fleet would have to hold off the Nazi air force.
 The Germans said new series of smashing successes by mechan ized columns broke through the strong French border forti- fications on a broad front and captured numerous towns and villages.
 In a giant squeeze movement in Flanders the Nazis said it was estimated that 100000 Allied sol dieos were trapped in an area scarcely bigger than a good sized western cattle ranch. Into this crowded area, waves of dive bombers unloaded lethal cargoes of bombs and machine gun bull lets.

UNDATED. May 29 (H) - In three pulverizing smashes, the Nazi legions stormed Ypres, the famed World War battle field and captured the manufacturing city of Lille and the strategic chan mel port of OStend.
 The high command announced the tightening of the steel-iawed trap on five hundred thousand Al lied troops encircled in Flanders. On the strength of these reports it is apparent that the Allies are now retiring to the English chan mel, seeking that means of escape rather than to try to break thru the German salient to the south of Osend, one of their main bas- es of supplies.

Removing Candle Grease.
@, Candle grease was dropped on
our porches, which are red tile and
red brick. How can we get it of?
A. Scrape off all that you can and
cover the remainder with a soft
paste made of fuller's earth or pow
dered chalk mixed with benzine. Be
careful of fire, of course. Cover
with a board to check evaporation
until the paste is dry. The ben
zine will dissolve the wax, which
will then be absorbed by the powder.
Another method that might work
would be to lay blotting paper over
the spots and to press them with
a hot iron. The heat will liquefy
the wax, which will then be alb
sorbed by the blotting paper.
Apartment House Plans.
@. Where can I get plans for

architect. He will design a building
that will give you the most rentable
space and the greatest attraction to
tenants. In addition, he will draw
up specifications for all the material
and equipment, and finally, he will
supervise the construction. BY using
an architects design you will erect
better and more practical building
than you could possibly have made
from stock design. An architect
will charge fee, of course, but he
will be worth it. His fee will be
more than saved by the economies
that he will be able to effect, and by
his supervision of all contracts.
Damp Baseboards.
@. Our walls are damp near the
baSeboards. Can this be fixed from
the inside?
70 A. Dampness at the lower part Of
an inside wall is likely to result
from condensation, due to the fact
that the outside air leaks through
the crack between the Dashboard
and the flooring. This air usually
comes through the openings between
