The average of efficiency on the New York-Washington route was 88 per cent; Cleveland- Chicago, 70 per cent and Chicago- Omaha, 88 per cent. Only two forced landings were made because of mechanical trouble In either planes or motors. Fifteen others were made because of shortage of gas or oil through combating head Winds, four because of weather •even because new pilots got off their fcaurses. How Efficiency Is Baaed. Efficiency in operation of postal airptones is based on leaving the field* within 15 minutes of scheduled time, on maintaining a speed for 75 miles an hour for Curtiss R-4P and 80 miTtea for DH-4s and Martin bombers, on the absence or number of forced landings and on making flights without damage of any character to engine or plane in taklng-off, landing, taxiing or flying. The rating by fields in May was as ipowa: the field «t Newark by the department are indicated in a statement by Mr. Praeger addressed to "All Superintendents of the Air Mail Service," In which be says: "The records Indicate that If the field manager had performed the full share of their duties In getting the mail planes off within 15 minutes of the scheduled time of departure the efficiency rating for May for all divisions would have made a wonderful showing. FaJi to Start on Time. "The general efficiency performance on the New York-Washington and New York-Cleveland routes was marred by this failure of the Newark field management. This field failed ten times to start Its plane on time to Washington and ten times to start onetime to Bellefootei ° ' • "This trouble exists to some degree on other fields. It can be eliminated, or c e r t a i n l y g r e a t l y i m p r o v e d , It planes are promptly inspected, tested and served in the afternoon before the flight if the departure of the plane !• scheduled early the following forenoon. Aside from this single serioua delinquency, the pilots, mechanics and field supervisors have cause to feel proud of the record made duriag May* mim.

Washington.--Tbe story of the American expeditionary force la told In pictures on t£e walls of the National museum here in a permanent exhibit Just opened to the public. Drawn from life In paint, pen and ink or pencil by American artists commissipned and sent to the front for that purpose, the collection of nearly 500 studies detailing almost every phase of life In the army overseas is spread over the walla ot half a doaen "Liberty Brings Peace' Mr. Henry K. Bush-Brown, a prominent District of Columbia sculptor more than local reputation and former president of tte Washington Arts club, beside his statue which be calls "Liberty Brings Peace." great, well-lighted rooms. It la a tale of stirring action which they dieclose. Among the scenes depicted are ruined French villages made sacred forever to Americans because of American blood freely given to tear them from German hands. There are the homely, appealing scenes from behind the lines with happy-go-lucky youngsters of Pershing's division in billets mixing among the people of France, the very old and the very young people. Here and there are grim reminders of the great tragedy in groups of huddled dead in wrecked enemy trenches over which the tide of victory had poured. Again, half glimpsed through a downpour of rain, a trudging, sodden Infantry column is moving onward through a sea of mud aa the artist saw it; or an endless line of weary gun teams drags forward the batteries to blast the road to triumph. At one point the artist caught and held for his fellow countrymen the breathless tensity of a forest outpost, peering through the leafy screen o 1 bis covert toward the enemy lines, his rifle hugged close, with fingers clinched over the trigger; at another a slash of light from a half-opened door has painted on the screen of eight just a hint at a column, tramping on toward battle, just a young face or two in the line--weary, dirty, but with jaws grim set with purpose. Again it is a hospital that has gripped the art-, ist's imagination, a twisted, writhing form under tbe tumbled blanket, with agony in every line and over It the steady-eyed surgeon or the merciful figure of an army nurse. War Implements Displayed. In rooms around the picture display art shown all the countless things with which the army and the navy dealt in the war; the guns, the bombs, the uniforms of ally and enemy (.like, captured weapons and German wax gear of many kinds. These form a striking setting for the epic tale the war artists have pictured, probably tbe only such record ever assembled, for it began with the army and runs on to the departure of the homeward transports at the close. Artists who made the pictures, all of whom held the rank of captain In the American expeditionary force, include ' Wallace Morgan, Ernest Pelxotto, Julius Andre Smith. Harry E. Townsend, Harvey Dunn, Walter J. Duncan, all of New York city; William J. Aylward, Fairport, N. Y., and George M. Hording, Wynnewood, Pa. - West More Chesty « lHan Eastern States Washington.--In an effort to secure better fitting uniforms for American soldiers, more than 100,000 men in the army have had their measure taken, the war department announced. The measurements were said to form the most comprehensive survey ever made for tailoring purposes and will be made available to the clothing trade. The survey has shown what proportion of sizes should be carried for troops, according to the war department, and will enable reduction in the stock of aurplus clothing kept on hand to fill requisitions. Measurements showed that the biggest chested soldiers came from western states, while the smallest chested men were from the eastern department. An 8,000-Year-01d Beauty Well Preserved Mummy ef Sgyptlan Balle Is Brought to Light Archaeologists. ; f ' London.--A prehistoric girl 8,000 years old, whose hair' and complexion are wonderfully preserved, and who was found in a sitting position with her chin resting in her hand, one of the most recent discoveries research has brought to light in ancient Egypt, Prof. Flinders Petrle of University college, London, says. Professor Petrle declared that efforts would be made to bring the mummy to England to add to the collection in the British museum. "While we were trying to find a way into a queen's pyramid," he said, "we discovered on a rock face a door which was so beautiful and exactly fitted that it was difficult to see the Joints. We Immediately set to work on thla, thinking that we had found at last an entrance to the inner chambers. After a considerable amount of work we removed the door and found--solid rock! It was a carefully arranged blind to balk anyone who wanted tc find the entrance into the royal tombs, and It had been made about 8,000 B. C. by someone' with a sense of humor."

Brown. • vs The bathing costumes appearing on the beaches this year, writes a seashore fashion correspondent, depict a fashion review of all the styles that we have bad in dresses this season. The evening dress; the afternoon frock, the sports suit, all find their prototype in the bathing suit of today. Just like the young girl's evening dresses are the taffeta suits, with their billowing skirts composed of tier after tier of ruffles, plcot edged or bound with silk, and their huge ribbon sashes with streaming ends. It is the simple, youthful type of evening dress, elaborate for the beach. It is true, but plain in contrast to the extreme things of last season, In which no effort was spared to make them all that was costly and perishable. Velvets were dyed, then crushed and printed into gorgeous designs. Cashmeres were treated to give them the appearance of costly antique stuffs. Handwork of all sorts was featured in great quantities. Last year tbe seaside resorts were very gay for the first time In several years, and bathing suits were almost lurid. Each woman, in her desire to express joy at the end of the dreary war years, selected the gayest things she could find--and there were plenty of gay bathing suits to be found. Bright reds, brilliant purples and vivid greens bobbed over the surface of the waters and basked In the sunshine on the sands. Everybody apparently seized the opportunity to revel in the most brilllanf^tlothes ever seen on the beaches, and the seashore was one spot where bright apparel did not appear out of place. Reaction Toward Simpler Things. This year, however, sees a change In bathing suits. The pinnacle of extravagance in fashion appears to have been reached, for the time being, at least, and there is a tendency to turn toward simpler things. The beach clothes faithfully mirror the demand for something simp er in our dress. Many of them are exact copies of simple little French frocks. A turning to the darker colors Is noted. Black, which was almost crowded out of the 1'st of bathing things last year, now enjoys first place. Its absence from the front line ranks was only temporary. This may be due In a measure to the fact that people found bright colors unsatisfactory when dipped In the salt water every ilay or exposed to the bright sun, and are quite ready to come back to the practical black satin and taffeta suit. The vogue for brown !s quite as marked in bathing suits as In other clothes. We never have thought of brown as an attractive color for bathing suits; in fact, it was unusual to see it on the beach. Probably because the color has been so much in the limelight, designers have worked out some of their prettiest model e l n it. Certainly there is much to be said in Its. favor In comparison with the gold colored and bright blue satins covered n-Ith batik work of last year. We may have quite as much latitude In the lines of our bathing suits as in those of our frocks. We still have the straight chemise model, which Is always good. New this year and following the low waistline dresses is the bathing suit with long waist portion and full skirt. Petaled Skirt Appears on Beach. The petaled skirt, too, appears In bathing dresses. More elaborate ones show rows of scalloped ruffles from tbe waistline to the hem of the skirt, while those of simpler construction merely have the bottom of the skirt Cut in petal form. The loop drapery also has found its way into these clothes, and, of course, the sash is one of the most prominent features. Among the more elaborate suits not intended for actual swimming--just who wears them nobody seems to know, but the fact remains that they are to be found in the shops--are black velvet bodices attached to skirts of taffeta having plaited ruffles finished at the edge with old-fashioned pinking. Satin suits with long basqees attached to accordion plaited skirts belong to this type. A beach costume of brown satin made after this manner Is trimmed with little flowers of wool and satin. There is a bathing suit strongly resembling a dress brought out by Worth earlier In the season. The similarity lies in the skirt, which has panels formed by loops of wide ribbon. Black taffeta is chosen for it. The underdress consists of Turkish bloomers attached to a waist, while the skirt is simply loop panels of taffeta fastened to a sash. A bit of color Is introduced by facing the panels to a depth of about two inches with bright green silk. It Is a frivolous sort of a skirt, but has the spice of novelty as well as being very pretty. The little cap accompanying It is made by stitching two squares of silk together. There are tabs at either side which tie In a bow on the top, thus shaping the cap. Turkish Trousers Much Exaggerated. Bloomers are receiving quite as much of the designer's attention this year as the suits themselves. Variations of the Turkish trousers, much exaggerated In many cases appear beneath short bathing dresses. Indications are that the skirt may be abandoned altogether. The suit described Is ah Instance of the bloomers being allowed to show. The skirt is merely a series of lodse hanging loops of silk. In other suits the skirt consists only of a back and front panel. Towelings and rubberized ginghams are modest and suitable as well as fashionable for trimmings. The Imported Turkish toweling that looks like n"soft cotton plush is used in beautiful colorings. The rubberized ginghams are in small checks and pallds. An interesting use of white toweling appears on a brown taffeta dress of chemise style, with kimono sleeves. The toweling is folded in points to form rows down the entire length of the suit, both back and front. Full Turkish bloomers are trimmed at the sides in the same way. A round white cap like a chefs headdress completes the costume. The woman who loves to swim Just for the pure Joy of exercise will not fail to include in ner summer wardrobe one or two of the one-piece Jersey swimming suits. These have grown In popularity each year. They have become almost a standard fashion In bathing suits, so that there Is little change In them except In the ways of combining colors. Contradictory to the suits of silk and satin which, as already noted, are in the darker shades this year, are the Jersey suits, which are rather vivid In color and decorated with gay stripes of a cootnstiag hue. Bathing Hats An Important Feature All the bathing hats are exceedingly interesting. For several years we have had nothing but variations of the rubber hat and the bandanna from which to choose. Now there is a decided change and lints are featured as part of the bathing costume. The Egyptian headdress is accountable for many of these new hats. A black taffeta suit embroidered with white worsted has a little round cap of the taffeta, which Is Egyptian In every detail, even to the plaited tabs hanging over either ear. Every sort, of headgear appears to have been copied into bathing caps. The academic hat of the college professor will bob on the surface of the ocean beside copies of the sultan of turkey's turban, the headgear of the cook, the cap associated with the highlands of Scotland, made of rubberized plaid silk, and caps of blue rubber dotted all over with yellow centered white daisies. Some of the prettiest capes are of toweling, both domestic and imported. Ratine is also used extensively. The loveliest bit of color ever seen on any beach appears in a coral colored fleece-, lined ratine cape. A white toweling cape is made with a deep yoke topped by a wide crushed collar of navy blue silk. A very frivolous touch is given by the addition of a little boutonnlere of bright red flowers made of duvetyn. Hats Show Upward Tilt to Brim. A hat to be in vogiiev this season requires the lines to swing away from the face. The general tendency 1; toward three-cornered hats or • tams. Smaller turned-back turbans are also shown and tlie larger hats show trims that roll backward all the way around. Hats are shown In various brilliant shades, such as jade, henna, the new tones of red; and vivid orange. Stop the "Run.1* If a "run" is discovered In a silk stocking at a time impossible to catch It with a needle and thread, a little soap slightly wet applied to the lower part will keep it from spreading until such a time as it is possible to mend. Cotton Headgear the Vogue #- Hats Built of Swiss and Organdie, Plain Figured or Barred, Take First Place. Sheer cotton fabric hats have never been so much in evidence as they are i'<>r the summer of 1920. Dotted Swiss Hsid organdie, either plain, figured of barred, take first place. The trimming may consist merely of a sash of self fabric, or of rosettes or flat roses of the organdie in self or different colors placed about the crown or brim. Heavy linen is used to fashion some adorable summer hats, one especially charming chapeau being of rose-colored linen embroidered in black. Cotton crepe is also used in tbe development of summer hats, which are trimmed with cross stitch embroidery, handings of self fabric or narrow metal ribbon. Pongee could not possibly be as popular as it is for suits and frocks, both |or children and grown-ups, and find itself crowded out of the millinery \ 1 field. The brim of one very smart large hat of natural colored pongee was faced underneath with nale blue organdie an da narrow btas band of organdie was tied up about the crown. By all means consider the fabric feat. It is the mode of the moment. Organdie Posies. Hand-made organdie flowers decorate ail the new organdie frocks. For a white gown all the shades of violet are used, ranging from pale pinkisn mauve to deep purple. Several pinkish lengths of these, ranging from two to five inches wide, are picoted, then combined to form the blossom by winding round and round from the center, Just as we used to make roses., Nothing could be lovelier for trimming one of these little frocks.
