Yet in no other hat does she feel so contented as in this rakish little felt that seems as much a part of her personality as her eyebrows or her chin. The important thing, then, for the woman who must content herself each season with only two or three hats Is to select those with great care. Sometimes it i3 even best to have them made to order—so as to make sure that they will feel comfort- able and be a bit distinctive. Usually it is a good thing to fol- low your first hunch regarding what you want. For that hunch comes from the heart—and if you follow it vou will have something that really spits you. Follow fashion, but don't be misled by it. Don't believe any one who says or writes that “every one in Paris” is wearing. a high- crowned hat or a beige hat or any other sort of hat. All the world— even all the world of fashion—in Paris never wore any one particular fashion—for that is just what the well dressed French woman does not do—she is not so prone to sacrifice her own personality to the newest mode as are Americans who look to Paris for leadership.

Wen everybody in the werld has a' car horses wont haff to work eny more, ony.by that time there proberly wont be enuff horses to celebrate it with a perrade. A little baby horse looks ixactly like its father, being more than you can say about a little baby human been. Horses can trot or gallop or stand still and think, but they cant skip and the ony way they ever slide is ax- sidently. Fire horses are the luckiest because they can see all the fires without get- ting pushed back, ony they would be still luckier if they axually injoyed watching fires. Horseback riders have thelr horses tales cut off to make them 100k more fashionable, being a funny thing to do for enybody that claims to despize flies.

S” writes: “Will you please answer my questions in the paper? My baby is 3 months old and weighs 13 pounds and 13 ounces. I have him weighed every week. I have wonderful baby when I have him home and will lie and amuse himself and not cry except at feeding times. “In addition to nursing him I'give him cod liver oil and orange juice, and water from a cup. “What T can't understand is that when I take him to see friends he cries the minute he gets in the house and until he gets home and if his grandmother or any one takes him he screams. But at home he is different. Could you tell me why it is? My | triends think he is a ery baby.” | | Answer——Evidently this baby is by | nature a_stay-at-home and I see no | reason why at this tender age he | shouldn't be humored. I am all for | letting him be as exclusive as he | pleases, and if friends must see him, | let them come to him. If his mother | wants to go away and visit she would be doing much better for the | baby to leave him when he is asleep (of course in the care of some tryst- worthy person) and then she would enjoy her visit and the baby wouldn't be unnecessarily irritated. No doubt all this discomfort arises because when the mother goes away from home she upsets the baby's| regular schedule and he resents it. I don't blame him. He is far too young to be dragged about, be pawed over by admiring friends, deprived of his naps in his regular bed, and all for the sake of being soclable. Some bables dislike strangers and fear them. Keep strangers away. from him, or any one of whom he is afraid until he outgrows this fear. He will eventually, and forcing him to accept the attention, even of grandmother, won't help him ove come his fears. It will only increase them. The fact that you handle him very little is probably the reason that he fears handling from other persons. ‘What Do You Know About It? Daily Science Six. 1. Are there any winged ants? 2.

Was he go- ing to discover the secret at last? it as a French telegraph message. Without a word, he unfolded the sheet and stared at it dully. It was addressed to Broadmoor at his majes- ty's Parls embassy. A gulp of sur- prise came from between his lips as he read: “Have learned that Jim Brandon 1s to be held up on speed trip some- where betwéen Amsterdam and Cher- bourg. Cover him by plane to see that he reaches Cherbourg in time to catch Faustania. Have plane ready for me at noon also. At Paris for flight to Cherbourg. Flying through from Warsaw. Love." Jimmy stood stunned, his eyes on the signature. For it was signed by Natalie Crane! Natalie Crane . . . Narcissus noir! A riot of conflicting emotions | ran through his mind, a kaleldoscope of recollections. Natalle, on the one time he had seen her to konw her, at her brother’s home. Natalie, the slim, confident figure on the station at Harbin—her voice. Yes, it was the same. Natalle, slim and dainty and alluringly femi- same Natalle that had picked him up and charged with him through the night toward Chicago, at the stick of the speeder plane! A sudden thrill of unaccountable joy shot through him. Billy had told him of her admiration for him and his exploits—her schoolgirl adoration. And she had followed him around the world—to help him! Then, with a curious feeling, his eyes returned to the word with which the message closed: “Love.” He glanced at Broadmoor. “Love,” he repeated. Then he gave a short laugh. “You're a lucky devil, Broadmoor, to—to—to Know some one like Natalie. She's a wonder."” “Rather,” the Englishman drawled, as he turned back to his work. “That, and more. It was I, you know, who taught her how to fly. You ought to be grateful to me. But it was you,” he added, “who made her want to fly. 1 think we're both rather lucky, immy.’ “Uh-huh." Jimmy was unable to account for fecling of depression which was bebinning to weigh on him. It was not supposed to matter to him if Natalie was in love with his friend. He'd only meen her once—to talk to. And yet—yet there was something of a more subtle, enduring intimacy in this long journey—in all she had done. Broadmoor explained, as he was putting the finishing touches on the wires, about the girl. He had met her as she requested, at Paris, and she had left almost immedlately for Cherbourg. In the few minutes they d had, however, he had heard her stor “‘She heat Rogers off by 10 min- utes,” he sald. Learning of Rogers’ release in Moscow, she had bribed her way into the engine cab of the speclal train he had chartered. At Warsaw, she had got off ahead of him in a plane. “Barring accidents, she's aboard the Faustania right now,” Broadmoor ended Jimmy’s nod, hidden under the cowling, was his only reply. The last plece of wire was taped. He straightened and Broadmoor made the connection with the distributor. “All sef the latter breathed, and then glanced quckly at his wrist watch. “Just a little over an hour— we may as well do our best and have the satisfaction of making a run for it. Poseibly the resourceful Natalig has managed to hold the sailing." Jimmy shook his head, but he leaped into the rear seat of the Bleriot, nevertheless. “Not a chance,” he said. “She was to make & speed run, so nothing on earth could hold her.” In less than two minutes, however, the plane had taken off and was wing- ing its way under the Englishman’s cool hands, toward Cherbourg. They tore through the air at a fierce pace, using every ounce of the ship's smooth power. Jimmy's mind worked on rapidly while he crouched under the cowl. When they reached Cherbourg he knew he would find the ship gone. What next? The Faustania was the speediest boat on the Atlantio and in additlon it was making a speed run. It was hopeless to think even of flylng to another port and getting a boat out that day—even if that were possible. No, the Faustania must be boarded. His face was grim as the old world towers of Cherbourg loomed through a gray haze which hung low over the horizon. There was only one way. He nodded grimly to himself. They were nearing the city. When Broadmoor turned questioningly th A death mist for FLIES! JUST close the doors and windows. Spray IMPROVED DETHOL till the air is misty. Wait a few minutes. Then .sweep out the dead flies.

Jimmy motioned him on, over the/ roofs toward the bay. Leaning far| over the cowl, he strained his eyes to see. He knew about where the ship should be, but the Faustania was not among the ships behind the breakwater. Broadmoor, catching his idea, maneuvered the Bleriot out to- ward the harbor. Suddenly Jimmy gave an exclama- tion of chagrin. He knew the Faus- tania. He knew it too well to be mis. taken. And there was its graceful lines, riding the waves like the mis- tress of them, out into the English Channel. Jimmy groaned. Hé had missed the only boat which would give him an even chance with his enemy and rival! He threw himself forward and touched his friends' shoulder, signal- ing the latter to turn back. Broad- moor nodded; he needed no further instructions to make him head for the nearest possible landing field, circle without loss of time and finally come to a smooth landing. Jimmy had leaped from the cockpit before the Blerfot came to a stop and was hurry- ing across the fleld toward where a taxicab stood. He thrust several bills into the man's hands, shouting rapid and volu- ble instructions in French. The man got away as though dynamite had exploded under him and hurried to- ward an automobile, which tore off. Jimmy hurried back to Broadmoor, who was waiting at the stock, ready for the next move. He knew Jimmy well enough to know that the race was not yet over. “I've just sent that fellow into town to buy me a jacket life preserve.” Jimmy announced, and Broadmoor cocked one eyebrow in surprise; he walted. “A little sea flying,” Jimmy added. “Get enough petrol into your tank to carry you and then trust to luck. I'm going to do what's known in America as a_Brodie!" Broadmoor nodded. “I've heard of the gentleman who made it famous,"” he acknowledged. “Let's get one of those mechanics to fill up my tank —1'd hate to have to do one myself. We'll pick up the Faustania well into the channel.” It took only a few minutes to re- flll the Bleriot with petrol. Broad- moor returned to his place in the cockpit. The propellers were turning over idly, ready for the start. Jimmy waited in fretful impatience for the return of the mechanic, who soon came hurrying onto the fleld in a cloud of dust. A package was thrust into the American's hands. With a laugh for the curious crowd of mechanics and lookers-on, he dashed back to where Broadmoor walted and threw himself into the cockpit of the Bleriot. A minute later the graceful machine was roaring down the smooth field on its take-off, % . The city of Cherbourg passed under neath them, a realing succession of roofs, spires and dark caverns; then it was behind, and the plane was hurrying with all its motive power out to sea In the wake of the speed ship of the Atlantic. Broadmoor leaned over his controls, his face tense. Jimmy was jockeving himself into the clumsy life jacket. Twenty minutes later they were catching up with the great liner. moor looked back, grinned cheerfully, and.circled about its tall masts twice. People on the deck were cheering. Jimmy strained his eyes as Broadmoor passed low over the deck before he headed out again Ha.found that every muscle was tense and strong. The coming vent- ure spelled life or doath; he had known from the beginning and was prepared to risk everything in a last great at- tempt for superiority. Obeying his companion’s instruc- tions, Broadmoor waited until he was no more than two ship's lengths ahead of the Faustania before he cut his mo- tor and -commenced to stall. The Bleriot hesitated, lost “speed; looking back over his shoulder, Jimmy saw ed with Interested spectators marvel- ing at the strange maneuvers. The speed of the plane slackened still more perceptibly, barely able to keep in the air now at its 50 miles an hour. Jimmy stood up working along the footgrips until he was on a level with his friend. He put out his hand and felt Broadmoor wring it hard. “Good luck, old man!” shouted the Englishman. Jimmy nodded, turning away from the look of concern his friend had tried in vain to hide, and worked out on the right wing, facing forward. The ship was settling rapidly now. ‘There was scarcely a 100 fest now be- tween its wheels and the licking, greedy waves. Jimmy hesitated for a fractional sacond, recalling that it wae an im- mutable law of physics that an object cast from a moving body achieves the speed of the body. Which meant that he would strike the waters of the channel at something In excess of 40 miles an hour. He grinned. ‘Without turning again, but only raising his hand in a final salute to Cecil Broadmoor, he took a deep breath, leaned forward slightly and then jumped off back- ward. The choppy waves arose to meet him and he heard the Bleriot's motor roar past overhead. (Copyright. 1026. by the North American Newspaper Alliance,) (Continued Tomorrow.) 0 Minced Clam Soup.

Is there any delight in the world like the old-time sport of berrying? I like everything about it, from the smell of the leaky old lard bucket and the smell of the surnburned grass where berries are thickest to the merry ries angry caws of the crows who see me taking their dinner from them. This is blueberry season, and black- berry season is almost upon us. You may see the country boys and girls going now, with their pails creaking in their hands, to the berry patches up on the dry hills where the arbutus grows. Then, on bare feet, they pad- dle to your door and ask in shy voices if you want to buy any.berries. And as you slip a quarter into their palms you wonder whether the chil- dren are selling vou their property or somebody else’s. For there are rights in the matter of blueberries, and wrongs, too, and some people help themseives to a farmer's blue- berry patch who would never dream of helping themselves to his purse. You are the luckiest if you live in the country yourself and can go out and pick blueberries before breakfast and have your wife stir them into the batter for a batch of light, hot muf- fins. Personally, I like huckleberries even better. You can tell them by their larger size, dull black skin and their 10 sizable seeds, where blue- berries have many tiny seeds. There is a wild tang to a huckle- berry that is not met in the com- moner blueberry. But when cooked the blueberry is the soul and charm of the breakfast muffin.

Women Who Have Interesting Tasks in Government Service BY ALICE ROGERS HAGER . Mrs. Mildred J. Gordon. Infinite patience is the first req- uisite of the research worker, no matter in what line the research is done. It may be through the lens of a microscope or a telescope; in the diagnostic laboratory or the social service office; frequently it leads through dusty library tomes, or the files of old census records. But al- ways there must be patience brougkht to the seatrching, and a clear head and a trained experience. Mrs. Mildred J. Gordon, research specialist of the Women's Bureau .in the Department of Labor, has these necessary qualities. Where others in the bureau make studies of wage- earning women in primary sources— which is the officlal way of saying that they go into the field for first- hand information—she does the cor- relative investigations into secondary material. For example, a survey was to be made of a group in a certain city, and in the preliminary ground work it was discovered that there was no bibliography on the subject. So Mrs. Gordon's help was enlisted, and she studied foot notes in books and re- ports, newspaper files, State reports and so forth, until she had a con- siderable amount of information ready to present to the field workers, so_that they might make their start. In one of her most valuable studies, of .the cost of living for working women here in the Capita!, done for the Minimum Wage Board, she cov- ered every possible angle of neces- sary expenditure and reported her findings in charts and analyzed statistical tables. At present she is engaged in minimum wage study, for which she has been twice to Cali- fornia, to the State of Washington, to Oregon, Kansas, Minnesota, Wis- consin and Massachusetts, or all the States, except North Dakota, where minimum wage boards have operated at some time. Her visits have been for the purpose of gathering together all pertinent, unpublished findings from the records of the various boards, and she is now writing a bulletin concerning the legislation involved and its resultant activities. EAT AND B Her analysis of “State Laws Af- fecting™ Working Women,” a sum- mary, has met a wide demand. Mrs. Gordon ‘was born in Eimira, N. Y., and went to Wellesley for h college work, graduating with an A. B. degree in 1917. But she had turned longing eyes toward Wash- W MRS. MILDRED J. GO ington for some time, and almost immediately after recelving her sheepskin she came here to a position in the Library of Congress. Here she stayed during the war period, but two months after the founding of the ‘Woman's Bureau, under Mary Van Kleeck, she joined its force and has remained there continuously ever since. She calls herself the “Jack of all trades” of the bureau, hecause, on oc- casion, she turns her hand to almost any of the bureau's needs, doing field work, editorial work, or statistical compilation and analysis as required. E HEALTHY ly Talks on Diet Dinah Day’s Daii The Right Food Is Constipation. “I am very particular to eat only the most digestible foods, even peel- ing apples and eating only the pulp of grapes, in order that I may not take anything coarse into my stom- ach. Yet very often 1 have attacks of what I call indigestion. My head aches dizzily. Black spots dance be- fore my eves. I am then so con- stipated that I find it necessary to take a purgative. Do you think my diet can be at fault?” writes Mrs. M. S. Undoubtedly the very base of this trouble is constipation. It is very plain that this good lady is being too careful about having her foods com- pletely ‘““digestible.” For any one not suffering with ulcer of the stomach ordinary food as nature grew it is the best food. In order that food might appear “refined” there was for a while a perfect mania for serving everything in a form that would practically melt in the mouth and with one swallow be carried down to the interior cavern of the stomach, where the body was supposed to forget it. Sandwiches of thin slivers of pure, delicate white bread, with the crust neatly trimmed off and filled with some soft concoc- tion so the teeth could not get hold of a bite, was the accepted sandwich “Puzzlicks” Pussle Limericks — A fool girl of Paris named —1— Once threw herself into the She was off her —3—, The fisherman —4— ‘Who found her—he found her in—2—. 1.

Fruits cooked to a jelly in pie crust. The poor molars seemed to be considered only an ornament. Following this kind of a schedule will surely bring on indigestion and constipation. The teeth and the sali- vary glands must do their job. The food, after it arrives in the stomach and is duly cared for, passes to the intestines. It is here that the nour- ishment is carried to every cell of the body by the blood stream and the waste is then eliminated. ‘There must be some residue from our food or constipation will follow. Complete assimilation of every parti- cle of food and no cellulose or fiber remaining means that the body is unable to dispose of the waste. Con- stipation causes the toxins or poisons of intestinal putrefaction to re-enter our bodles. Auto-intoxication, this is called. One food expert styles this condition involuntary suicide. The way to prevent constipation is to eat the right kind of food, drink six or eight glasses of water a day, acquire the right habits, breathe good air and take some exercise. ‘The bran of whole grains, the fibér of fresh fruits and vegetables not only. contain preclous, mineral salts and vitamins, but this residue is absolutely necessary to prevent the terrible men- ace of constipation. A. B—Is it necessary that there be some iron in every day's food supply? Answer—Yes. The body re- quires only a small amount of iron a day, but that small amount is es- sential.
