"Exposing yourselves to the Jeers and misundertsandings of many who may disagree with you as to questions of national defense, you are sacrific­ ing time and money so that you may learn the rudiments of the science of war and not be unprepared when the time comes to fight for your coun­ try," Lieut. Gov. Barratt O'Hara told •officers of the Fifth regiment, I. N. G., at the reception which was a fea­ ture of governor's day at Camp Lin­ coln. "With a disorderly nation to the south, a nation of great natural re­ sources and immense possibilities but with no stability of government, and )SOUth of that the Panama canal, an American possession which must be protected, no one can say how soon we will be called upon the defend the Monroe doctrine," Mr. O'Hara contin­ ued. * . "But when we are called, the na­ tion knows that it can depend upon Its national guard to supplement and fill out the work of the regular army." After the reception, the officers re­ turned to their companies and a short time later the militiamen filed out from the company streets and pre­ pared for evening parade.

Springfield.--Michael Zimmer of Chi­ cago, former sheriff of Cook county; is the new warden of the Joliet peni­ tentiary. He will continue the honor system. Governor Dunne selected Mr. Zim­ mer from a dozen aspirants and rec­ ommended he be appointed by the pen­ itentiary commissioners. They con­ curred. The new warden is expected to take up his duties at once. He will suc­ ceed Edmund Allen,, who resigned sev­ eral weeks ago, refusing to live/longer in the rooms where his wife was slain. Governor Dunne relies upon Mr. Zimmer to maintain the honor system, which Mr. Zimmer announced he would uphold. "I was not an applicant for this par­ ticular place, and was surprised when Governor Dunne asked me if I would not accept it," said Mr. Zimmer. "The governor asked me if -1 favored the honor system, and I said I did if properly administered. I told him the honor system might be abused, but I believed it could be worked satisfac­ torily. "1 haven't had time to formulate any definite plans, but I have some ideas gained from my experience as sheriff. I am anxious, to try them." Daniel Sullivan, former police chief at Decatur, is said to be slated to suc­ ceed John Lyon as one of the deputy wardens of the penitentiary. Join Illinois State Troops. Battery D now is a part of the nil) nois National Guard. The 135 members of the organiza­ tion were mustered in at Inspection ceremonies held in the rotunda of the Insurance Exchange building, Chi­ cago. Col. R. J. Shand, assistant adjutant general, was in charge of the cere­ monies and was assisted by Col. M. R. Kelly of the governor's staff, Major Morris Woolman, Major A. V. Smith, Capt. R. Sheldon and CoL J. B. San­ born. The battery's band of 48 pieces played. Battery D was organized by Acting Captain C. R. Vincent, manager of the Weil-Farrell company, on the principle that college men can master military training more quickly than men with less mental training. Applications for enrollment in the battery have been so persistent that its officers have Planned to exr»~-<l U i:_to two groups. Enlistments may be made on application at the office of Capt. W. J. Garard between three o'clock and five o'clock in his office at 22 West Wash­ ington street. The battery which has been drilling in the Insurance Exchange building since the first of the year, will be pro­ vided with equipment by the govern­ ment and will be given headquarters. It is the latest addition to the I. N. G. and its officers and members expect that a number of similar organise tions will be formed and eventually mustered into the same body. Movies for State Wards. Motion pictures are being shown the patients in state charitable institu­ tions at regular intervals, according to an announcement made by the state board of administration. The chief (idea, it was said, was not to effect cures but to lighten the gibom which hangs over the inmates. The "gray-haired children" in the Lincoln state school and colony great­ ly enjoy the motion-picture treats There are none but feeble-minded among the 1.700 inmates of this insti­ tution, and most of them are old men and women. "The insane are also ardent movie fans," said an official of the board. "They have their favorite film stars. Any kind of a slap-stick comedy tickles them. Of course, we never show them anything that would excite them. "The feeble-minded likewise favor anything with a rough-and-tumble, Blap-stick fight. They frequently try to re-enact some of the things they see on the films, so we have to be mighty careful what we show them "War pictures and patriotic stuff is in demand at the soldiers and sailors' home at Quincy and the soldiers' wid­ ows' home, Wilmington."

Like her husband, who was a captain in the royal artillery be­ fore he came into the title, and who is now back in the service. Lady Ban­ gor is Irish, and was Miss Agnes Da- cre Hamilton of Cornacassa, Monag- han. When she was married in 1905. the register was signed with a his­ toric pen, namely, the quill used by the ambassadors of the powers when they signed the treaty of Vienna. The Lord Bangor of that day, being secre­ tary to Lord Castlereagh, secured the pen as a memento, and it is a treasure at Castle Ward, a big place, beautiful­ ly situated on Strangford Lough, and a mixture of Greek and Byzantine ar­ chitecture. The builder and his wife could not agree about the style, so a compromise was made. Scene in a flooded Infantry camp of the British forces near Balsa on tbe Persian gulf.

TURN TO THE PANNIER FRENCH MODISTES TAKE UP TH%[ i |bR0ADCUmi SUIT s , r#\ NEW STYLE. Old Fashion, Revived and In Pro* nounced Form -- Has Much to Recommend It From the Point of Beauty. At the Newport fashion show as well as at the openings in Paris, there was an undoubted preference Bhown to the pannier. Lucille has advocated it for six months and will continue to do so, as her new and wonderfully lovely costumes for Florence Walton have proved. In these she makes the pannier of tulle or gold lace, sometimes wired to stand out, again bunched high in masses of materials. She has also returned to favor the afternoon frock of colored silk.with a fichu of organdie and high loopings of the fabric over the skirt, a kind of Mo- zartian costume which is quite fetch­ ing. Paris hae shown an even mere pro­ nounced form of the pannier bor­ rowed from Marie Antoinette's day. The skirt of the special frock that has caused much comment has a flounce of blue chiffon edged with velvet ribbon, over which are panniers of flowered yellow taffeta. This fab­ ric extends above the belt to form half of the bodice, the other half being built of chiffon with shoulder straps of blue velvet. Panniers are not exactly the kind of thing that one wears well in the street, but for the evening they are charming. Made of the soft taffeta that will remain fashionable this winter, or in tulle edged with bril­ liant metal embroidery, they present a pleasing contrast to the type of eve­ ning frock that the designers have given us for several seasons. If the fashion for combining lace with satin or flowered silk is actually taken up as it deserves to be, then the pannier will be the most ex­ pressive way of handling these two materials In juxtaposition. Silk that is embossed with large flowers of If. ,4 --reap W - . , ft PL i Hiiiiilii metal will have its place among the evening fabrics and no one wants more than a yard or two of it on a gown.' To use It as a pannier or side drapery of some kind will be displaying it to its best advantage over tulle or tea-col­ ored lace. (Copyright. 1915, by the McClur* Newspa­ per Syndicate.) MAKING USE OF "SQUARES" Hint for Those Who Have an ^Over- supply of Those Always Useful Little Articles. "1 have a number of these square crash doilies which I had intended for a luncheon set before I was mar­ ried," said Mrs. Bride-of-a-Month, "but I have so many luncheon sets now for wedding and shower gifts that I know I'll never use them. It's such a shame to see good wofk going to waste, and I hate little doilies ly­ ing promiscuously around under vases and such." "I know Just how you feel," Inter­ rupted Mrs. Brlde-of-a-Year. "I had a half dozen beautiful little squares all embroidered in dull blue on crash, but I made use of them. First of all, I joined three of them with rather wide cluny insertion to make a scarf for my blue-and-white guest room dressing table. Then I edged tw-» more with the narrow cluny edging, cut a round hole in the middle and used them as candleshades for the glass candlesticks for the same dress­ ing table, and the sixth made half of a cute little bag that every feminine guest ran use when she finds it bang­ ing on her dressing table. I could have used several more pincushions and tray covers and I did have an idea of making four more and joining them together for a boudoir pillow. 1 may do it yet" APT TO GO TO EXTREMES American Woman Extravagant In the Matter of Expenditure for Her Apparel. WOSMD---and also their husbands-- suffer from feminine slsvery to fash­ ions that other women wear. We need clothes. We need useful clothes for comfort We need beautiful clothes to develop and satisfy our -love of beauty. But we need to learn how to select clothes that are reason­ able in cost, that do not require much time to put on and take off. and that can be worn acceptably as long as the material lasts. American women are more extrava­ gant to the matter of dress than wom­ en anywhere else in the world. The "ultra smart" fashions of other coun­ tries are worn only by comparatively few women, and the majority do not trouble their heads about them. In thiB country we ape other people far too much American women seem to lack strength of uind enough to bay w hat tfcey can alori They boy what Black chiffon broadcloth suit with cir­ cular skirt scalloped at the bottom and plaited around the hips.

PRETTY AND EASY TO MAKE Costume for Small Girl That Will Give Very Little Trouble to Her Mother. With finely embroidered fiouncings one can turn out, as if by magic, tbe adorable, tiny con­ fections that make up a tiny girl's w a r d r o b e . T b e edging does away with the necessity of a hem; it can be tied over the shoulders with rib­ bons and gath­ ered around the neck so that there are practically but two kinds to be rur -- the under­ arm and a placket at the; back, and the dress is made. I never tried, but 1 am sure it would * not be beyond one's powers to tura out two such little frocks in an afteiQ noon, for they seen no more than doll's clothes. The cunning little design shown here' concedes a trifle more to elaboration*, for there are many tiny tucks run through the material to hold it In at a high waist line.

Now Jthrt Where do you keep yoffifc patches? Do you let them lie in ant untidy fashion in a bureau drawer? ' Do you throw them into the sewing basket with the rest of your sewing ' materials or do you keep them in a box or bag? Either one of the last two places is the most convenient re- . ceptacle for the purpose. The latter can be made of wbfte or tan linen or rep. A very artistic patch bag seen recently was made of white rep. It, was rectangular in shape and its open­ ing was concealed by means of a flap. On the flap were cubist designs which were quite appropriate for the type of bag they adorned. , Everything Now to Be Beatfatf^' The woman who wants to have"new ^ furs for old will be , able to acquirer the former by using her ermine, mole- ( skin or seal scarf and muff as the§ foundation for elaborate embroideries ' done in bead work.
