With the development of aircraft carriers to a point where they are now recognized as an essential arm of the naval force, it has been necessary to tackle the problem to be solved in producing suitable designs of aircraft to operate from the carriers. These problems in a few words included the following questions: • i How to evolve 'Ircraft of the various types and possessing the following qualities: (a) Best performance, (b) greatest radius of action, (c) smallest dimensions, (d) best adapted to kindling and stowage on board ship, (®d operating from a ship or airdrome. .

Scattered along the line of death from the sand dunes of Nieuport to the swamps of Salonika, their bodies-- with the approval of their relatives-- will be gathered, and beneath a mausoleum worthy of their valor on a shell-torn hill of the shrine of hero- Ism, they will await the final call, a symbol of the purest sacrifice ever made by man.

Their bodies may have gone to dust, but for each one of these 64 men a place will be set apart as an individual memorial which either now or at any time can be used as a place of Interment. This Is the program of the Lafayette Escadrllle Memorial association. Born of the Initiative of Lieut. E. O. Hamilton, it has undertaken to .create and maintain In France a burial garden for the heroes of the Lafayette Flying corps who enlisted under the flag of France and gave their lives for the cause they defended. President Millerand, Premier Polncare and Minister of War Maginot have accepted the patronage of the association, whose president Is Marshal Foch and Its vice president Embassador Herrlck. The plan for the memorial garden, designed by Alexandre Marcel, chief architect of the French government, has been mailed to every relative of the dead aviators. The garden will occupy a site about two miles from Verdun, the ground having been donated by the French government for this purpose. In the letter which accompanies the plan the committee says: "We fed that these men who were actuated by the same noble motives, who together underwent the arduous life of training and faced the dangers of the front; who in many instances had been close comrades in life, should In death lie together in this memorial garden, which for all time shall be a testimonial to their devotion to an ideal which was ^stronger than their love of life. It is for their relatives themselves to Ceclde whether or no the body shall be moved to the place reserved for It. The committee pledges itself that the removals will be done with the utmost care and reverence." Tailors' Shaars Get Heirlooms.

No wonder. The huge eagle had fceen humbled by members of tfce crow fan. The eagle arrived from Williams* ^Jfarg, crated and riding on top of an - Irutomoblie truck driven by Harry Hall. Mr. Hall said he captured the ||uge bird several days ago on his :^4hrm after the eagle bad allgl.ted near i crow's nest containing young birds, i Mr. and Mrs. Crow were standing guard over the brood, and when the eagle dropped out of the sky they let out frantic squawks for help. Instantly, from all points of the IioriEon, there began to materialise a fleet it angry crows. In a few moments the air was black with crows and blue with crow epithet* The haughty eagle glared defiance at the threatening cloud of feathered warriors wheeling past and clung to hi* limb. Bolder and bolder became the crowg; closer and closer they swept to the enemy, their wing, feathers brushing his face, their beaks snapping defiance and hatred. More than a hundred of the ebony fighters assembled at last, and finally the bolder spirits began delivering blows along with the threats and oaths. The finish came swiftly. The eagle snd the nest which the crows wers trying to defend were both *-nocked from the limb and went tumbling to earth In a pecking, clawing, cursing mass. Even after they had their enemy on the ground the victorious crows gav6 nb usfei^y,' Ihi# ftuf for the timely arrival of Mr. Hall and other farmers who were plowing com in the fields near by the affair might have ended In a tragedy. The men drove the crows away and were going tc pick up the fallen eagle when his ready talons and waiting beak warned them away. Mr. Hall found a solution by procuring a horse blanket and throwing It over the vanquished eagle. Then h* carried him to his bouse and put him in a cage, the crows following as a triumphant escort to see that the thing was done properly and without deceit. Sol Stephan, manager of tbasoo, says the eagle is a flna specimen, measuring nine feet from tip to tip of his dull bronze wings.

USEFUL THINGS TO REMEMBER #4 s#' ?>. Afternoon Frock of Sliver Lsee and an Underlying Area of Gray Georgette Tucked in Group for Trimming. has not been applied to the scheme of sleeve construction and with the utmost success as a result. Each woman who at all prides herself <upon her dressing as a mark of distinction for her personality pays much attention to the manner of the shaping of her sleeves. There Is where the art of the modern gown Is concentrated. By the swing and sweep of the sleeve is the style of the frock established. The sleeve, by all odds, carries olf the bulk of attention. And so It shall be during the coming season--so the designers have decreed. If their advance models are to be taken as any criterion. By their sleeves ye shall know them. That is the new style slogan. The rest of the gown may be so simple that it is absolutely devoid of interest. It may cleave to the common level in every other particular, but as for its sleeves, there it excels. Sleeves are the importance of any gown. They are the points by which you tell at once whether it 1s in the class of the ultra smart or not. They may be plain, Indeed, but they somehow manage to place themselves as the center around which all Interest revolves. That Is . their distinction in the modern plan of dress. To Be in Height of Fashion. So, see to your sleeves If you would be "in the swim" of fashion. Do not allow them to sink to the level of Biediocrlty. They are your banners of fashion. And no matter whether tbeir -inwn Into the soup, they still For Afternoon Dresses / \c- -_r; For afternoon dresses the sleeves are of just as much importance as they are for any other sort of frock. In fact they are more so, if the truth were faced. Afternoon frocks must, of necessity, be graceful and. Just now, without flowing sleeves there Is no chance of achieving a graceful frock without that side addition that makes a sort of sleeve drapery. There Is another frock. It Is composed of gray georgette, combined with wide applications of silver lace. And it is a gown that is notable so far as Its sleeves are concerned. The sleeves and the upper section of the bodice make a pattern with the groups of tucks that are so arranged that they string along the sleeves and then across the neck. Other than that there are only layers of the sliver lace which stretch over the foundation of the same chiffon. But who can say that the sleeves are not the interest of the design of the gown? The lace is the trimming. Oh, yes, to be sure. But the foundation frock Is accentuated by the rows of tucks that stretch across the front and the back of the bodice must carry that gracefulness which Is so essential a part of the frocks that are new. The sleeve has only just begun to evolve. It promises, during the coming season to establish a real style interest never before achieved In exactly the ratio that this sleeve era shall attain. So, what could be more of fashion Interest than to study the sleeve as it exists today, with an eye to its evolution In the future? In one model there is used a combination of white against black kasha cloth. Then to Join the two together there are rows of handwork In embroidery done with black threads. But it Is In the sleeves that the real de- ) sign converges. They are simple ] enough to be sure, but they carry with them that certain style which marks I them ss an Insistent part of the modern era. • The blouse of this particular dress Is cut In the kimono fashion that Is so dear to the heart of the French. But the sleeves slope away In a very informal manner and then they are tied together with a band of the white kasha cloth made to form a sort of a tassel. They' are Inconspicuous enough, but they have that certain air of being the points of Interest that dignify the gown as a portion of the season's mode. Again at the neckline i the band Is used to tie the collar together, and these three ties serve to form a pattern that draws the, whole design of the garment Into one. The hat Is white, as one might expect, and It Is faced with a layer of black, while the roll that forms the trimming about the crown fas made of white velvet twisted until it forms a sort of rope. Capelike Sleevea. The sleeves of this gown are fail enough to run into a sort of drooping effect at the back which, when the arms are loosely hung at the side, form a capelike look across the back tn spite of the fact that they are veritable sleeves when the arms are posed at other angles. This is oue of the happy parts of the modern sleeve. Besides being s sleeve, it Is usually something else. They, together, form a cape, a scarf, a collar or what not? They are, only to begin with, sleeves, but they usually have some other mnctlon to perform in the design of the gown con* sidered as a whole. There are sleeves which reach into side draperies lor the skirt And this they do moat effectively. For instance, there Is s dress of brocaded silk in gray. It is straight enough and plain enough by Itself. But then there are the sleeves. They are folded and draped auo Hung over the arms and when the chiffon has finished making sleeves to be worshiped for their very beauty then It takes Itself into the skirt where It is draped and folded to such an extent that Itmakes Hit; real Interest of that skirt. Of course the drapery congregates at the sides and at the hem It falls in points over the hemline. But the sleeves are the things which start the idea and from them the folds of the skirt take their way lu unalloyed enjoyment. To finish the gown there Is a wide band of silver iace to make the girdle and then there Is a chou of violet flowers made of chiffon posed st one side to finish off the girdle. On the whole it Is a notable gown. In perfect harmony wtth the style of the present mode, but after all, its sleeves are the central points of interest. From them the draperies that make the gown distinctive emerge, und in them are the lines that establish the continuity of the shsplQg of flic gown itself. and then down the sleeves und acr< their edges to make u design of simplicity ly which the whole tone of the frock Is established. On some of the newer summer dresses there are seen sleeves that are long t.nd tightly fitted. They are mostly of lace or of some transparent ma terlal, and more often than not they have some trailing scartlike affair drooping from them. But there have been seen these sleeves, and on the very most advanced models, that are tightly fitted, even to the wrists and then are allowed to flare over the In a most picturesque manner.'

It never would be possible to put one's personality as much Into the wearing of a hat or a dress as into the wearing of a veil--and every woman has a deft little way of her own In its arrangement wherein the greatest originality prevails. in addition to veils of chiffon there are those of cliantllly lace or of net In a fancy mesh quite elaborately emtroidered. Sometimes a masque effect Is achieved in the latter by means of an all-over embroidered design, leaving the masque .portion without the embroidery. Interesting meshes ot rather large open design with extremely Una •hreads holding the design in place are woven with dots In the style known as bouclette--that is, curl or loop. This makes a very light dot. which Is st the same time durable and effective. As it Is s part of the veil and not lying flat against the surface it is more becoming.

GIVE PUBLIC WHAT IT WANTS Broadcasting Programs Are Deter- --tj-r* by the Criticism Ollsrsd ,v by the Radio Auditnea ^ die very evident fact gleaned fttWii the experience of the first year of broadcasting is - that the public determines the programs, in the last analysis. The broadcasting stations, the artists, and the newspapers which have sponsored programs, have all tried consistently, and for the most part succeeded, in improving the quality of the entertainment. But the chief idea of all three has been to find what the public wanted, and to give 1^ too, in the best possible fashion. At first this was comparatively easy. Every concert called forth a great number of letters, ranging Into the hundreds quite frequently. Consequently it was possible for the officials at the various stations to leant by this expression of public opinion what type of entertainment and which stars the public like best. For that reason a certain number of arttots were invited several times, while certain features were stricken from the programs after one or two attempts. The burden Is en the radio audi*' ence to determine what it shall hear. There is realty no satisfactory way of telling unless It makes its wiahee known. To criticize is easy, but to suggest Is helpful to everyone concerned. It is safe to predict that the persons responsible for arranging programs will do their best to make them pleasing to the radio fans if the latter will only state what pleases them. A continued Interest by the public is the surest guarantee of high quality broadcasting. ^ * ' Hooking to a Tree.
