It is the' adopted and rec ognized form of headgear that goes with the new recruiting uniforms for women in America and is correct in every detail, even to th chin-strap of leather for, of course, no woman In Uncle Sam's uniform Is going to rely on a hatpin! Nothing so weakly femi nine as that in the new uniform. The recruiting girl is military, and natty, and trim from top to toe. "With her soft felt service hat and her belted and pocketed uniform of khaki, she wears high-cut, sensible heeled boots with brass eagle buttons to carry out the eoldierly effect. There Is as much art In the care less draping of a veil as there ever was In the manipulation of a fan. This motor veil Is exquisitely arranged yet It appears to be very carelessly tossed over ha. an . shoulders. -.e veil I3 of heavy quality georgette crepe in the new, rich gold color; the hem In plain color and the center part having large printed wheels or discs in self-color. The very deep hem is a modern feature; and remember, that the deeper a hem on a chiffon or gorgette veil, the more eracefully it. may be draped. . For wear with simple frocks of white voile or lawn; or colored frocks of dim ity, voile or gingham, here is a pretty hat of simple style for the Summer girl. The leghorn brim has been bound with black velvet ribbon and velvet ribbon is tied around the base of the crown, two ends falling just over the brim at the back. Rose-colored satin ribbon Is pleated around the crown and attached to a top-crown of the same ribbon; and one pink rosa with green leaves Is tucked against the brim on the right side. Mining Man Modern Colossus. In the March American Magazine Is en account of Daniel C. Jackllng, who bas doubled the world's copper output and is a giant In the copper field to day. He has worked so swiftly and so quietly that the public as yet in not aware of his magnitude. "At 35 he was vice-president and general manager of a struggling min ing company predestined, according to the unanimous verdict of expert opin ion, to be a speedy, very complete and costly future. This Is not ancient his tory. The mine was opened, the com pany organized, only 12 years ago. "At 40 he was a millionaire. At 45 he rounded the Horn in his own steam yacht. He is 47 today and a multimil lionaire. He controls the operation of four mines, all less than 12 years old, which" annually produce twice as much copper as the famous mines of Michigan put together. He acquired an unprofitable zinc property four years ago, lifted its output until the figures approached the total zinc pro duction of all the mines in Missouri, and made it pay $15,000,000 in dividends during the last two years." SOUPS THAT NOURISH VITAL TOHOUSEWIVESvMENU Broths and Chowders Compose Meal in Themselves and Are Excellent Use for Left-Overs. ALTHOUGH clear soups, which are largely water, contain little nourishment, some thick soups broths and chowders are literally a meal in themselves, according to the dietary specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. Even a thin soup, taken at the beginning of a meaL by its warmth and Pleasant Xlavor, may stimulate digestion so that the heavier foods are more easily di gested. The combination of soup and bread is pleasant and leads to the eat ing of more bread or crackers than would be consumed ordinarily. Appe tizing soups also may be made often of materials which otherwise would be wasted. In this way such materials are made to contribute whatever food value they may have for the cost of the labor and fuel needed to prepare them. One of the purposes which food serves In the body is to furnish energy for its muscular work, and one way of comparing the relative food value of different foods is to compare the amounts of energy which they fur nish or. as physiologists call it, their fuel values. A cup (1. e., half pint or a large soup plateful) of milk soup flavored with vegetables yields a lit tle more energy to the body than the same amount of milk. A thick meat soup with pieces of meat and vegeta bles in it, a fish chowder, or a rich vegetable soup, such as cream of to mato, yields half again as much en ergy as the milk, while a thin soup, like bouillon, consomme, or clear to mato soup, yields not quite two-thirds as much as the milk, and less than half as much as the thick soup or chowder. A generous serving of thick meat soup or fish chowder yields more energy than an ordinary portion of roast beef, and even a moderate help ing of vegetable milk soup usually fur bishes fully as much body fuel as a moderate-sized rib chop of lamb. There are other things to be con sidered besides energy in connection with the food value of diffent kinds of food. One is the amount of the sub stance called protein, without which the body cannot build and maintain its tissues. Meat and milk soups contrib ute some of the needed protein. Meat, ivoultry. fish, eggs, milk, cheese, dried seas, beans, and other legumea are the common foods In which protein is most abundant, though it also appears in fair amounts in the cereal foods, such as bread, breakfast foods, maca roni, rice, and the like. Soap Pot Means of Economy. Since many of the protein-rich foods are among the most expensive of those in common use, it is especially Import ant to make the fullest possible use of what is bought. Not all of the meat which we buy is suitable for use as such. The masses of fat which are trimmed off before cooking or are left on the platters may be saved, ren dered and used in cooking, while the bones, gristle and other refuse parts find their best use in the soup pot. where the long, slow cooking in water draws out the gelatin, fat and other nutritive material they contain. This stock, as the resulting liquid is called, may serve as the basis not only of a great variety of soups, but also of gravies and sauces, and may be used for cooking vegetables, rice and sim ilar foods. When it is used for soup, its flavor may be varied by adding various vegetables, such as carrots, onions, tomatoes, turnips and celery. It may be thickened with flour, bread crumbs, or okra. Boiled rice, barley, macaroni, and other pastes and crou tons (small pieces of stale bread fried a delicate brown in deep fat), may be put in to Increase the food value of soup and vary Its appearance and taste. Milk Soups and Vegetable Purees. Soup is not necessarily made from meat stock. Vegetable soups or purees are made by 1 boiling potatoes, beans, peas or other vegetables until soft, mashing through a sieve and then heat ing with a little liquid (water, milk, soup stock or whatever seems desira ble) and flavoring. Using leftover veg etables for such purees is an econom ical practice. Milk soups, which are really milk thickened and flavored with eome vegetable, fish or other food to give flavor and perhaps thick ened still more with a little flour or stale breadcrumbs, are both nutritious and appetizing. They furnish also an excellent means of using up skim milk. Those who wish to bring down the cost of food should remember that;. skim milk, a cup o which contains as much protein as a cup of whole milk. Is far too valuable a food to be overlooked. In soup-making it should not be for gotten that vegetables are necessary for keeping the body in -health, be cause they are relatively rich in min eral matters and mild vegetable acids, and contain recently discovered sub stances without which the body pro cesses seem not to be carried on prop erly. Since soups offer an excellent way of utilizing odds and ends of vege tables, and especially leftovers and parts which otherwise would be wasted. the use of vegetable soup is often a real economy. The fact that soups can be given so many and so varied fla vors, are so easily made, so generally relished, anS make such palatable combinations with large quantities of bread and crackers, shows that they are very useful additions to the diet. Some recipes for soups, recommended by the Government specialists, loilow: Recipes for Nourishing. Soups. Scotch broth Three pounds mutton. 2 tablespoons pearl barley. tablespoons of minced onion, a tablespoons minced turnip. 'J tablespoons minced carrot. 2 tablespoons minced celery. 2 tablespoons salt. 1 tea spoon pepper. 1 tablespoon minced parsley, 8 quarts cold water. Remove the bones and all the fat from the mutton, cut the meat into small pieces and put Into a stewpan with the water, chopped vegetables, barley and all the seasoning excepting the parsley. It will be found convenient to tie the bones in a piece of thin white cloth before adding them to the other Ingredients. Bring the stew to a boll, quickly skim it and allow It to simmer for three hours, thicken with the flour, and add the chopped parsley. Dried fish chowder pound salt fish. 4 cups potatoes, cut In small pieces. 2 ounces ssTif pork, 1 small onion, chopped. 4 cups skim milk. 4 ounces crackers. Halt codfish, smolVfd halibut or other dried fish may be used Ik this chowder. Pick over and shred the fiKi. holding It under luke warm water. Let --It soak while the other ngredlents of the dlsO aro being preparea. Cut the pork In smaK pieces ana try 11 with the onion until bo'h are a delicate brown, add the potatoes, cover with water, and cook until the potatoes f soft. Add the mlllc and fish and reheat. S.lt, if neces sary. It Is well to allow the fcrackeri to soak In the milk while the potatoev are be ing cooked, then remove them, and finally add to the chowder Just before servlna. Milk and cheese soup 3 cups milk, . or part milk and part stock: 16 tablespoons flour. 1 cup grated cheese, salt and paprika. Thkcken the milk with the flour, cooking thoroughly. This is best done In a double boiler, with frequent stirrings. When ready to serve, add the cheese and the seasoning. The protein in this soup Is equal in amount to that In five-sixths of a pound of beef of average composition; Its fuel value is higher than that of a pound of beef. Milk and vegetable soup 1 quart skim milk. 1 cup bread crumbs, or 2 large slices stale bread. Small amount spinach or out er leaves lettuce tnot more than 4 ounces), 1 small slice onion, salt. Cut the vegetables into small pieces and cook with the bread crumbs in the milk in a double boiler. If a large quantity is being prepared for use In a school, for example, put the vegetables through a meat chopper. In this case slices of bread can be ground with the vegetables, in order to absorb the juice. Cowpea soup 1 tablespoon butter or pork fat, 1 tablepsoon finely chopped onion. 1 stalk celery, finely chopped; 1 cup dried cowpeas, salt. Soak the peas 8 or 10 hours in water enough to cover. Fry the vegetables In the fat. add the peas In the water in which they were soaked and cook (prefer ably in a double boiler) until the peas are tender. Put the mixture through a sieve and add water enough to bring it to the de sired consistency. Reheat. If this soup Is thickened with 1 tablespoon of flour mixed with a little water the pea pulp will be pre vented from sinking. Dried navy or lima beans, peas, soy (togo) beans, or other le gumes may be used Instead of the cowpeas. Split pea soup 1 pint dried peas, 4 quarts water. 1 large onion, minced fine; 4 table spoons sweet drippings or butter which gives a better flavor. 3 tablespoons flour, 1 table spoon minced celery or a few dried celery leaves, teaspoon pepper, 2 teaspoons salt. Wash the peas and soak them over n!gh in cold water. In the morning pour off the water and put them in the soup pot with' 8 quarts of cold water. Place on the fire and when the water comes to the boiling point pour It off (throw this water away). Add 4 quarts of boiling water to the peas and place the soup pot where the contents will simmer for four hours. Add the celery the last hour of cooking. Cook the onion and drippings slowly in a stewpan for half an hour. Drain the water from the peas (save this water) and put them In the stew pan with the onions and drippings. Then add the flour and cook half an hour, stirring often. At the end of this time mash fine and gradually add the water In which the peas were boiled until the soup is like thick cream. Then rub through a sieve and re turn to the fire; add the salt and pepper and cook 20 minutes or more. Beans can be used in the same way as peas. - Mixed vegetable soup 3 quarts water, 1 quart shredded cabbage, V pint minced car rot, 1 pint sliced potato. Va pint minced tur nip, H pint minced onion. 1 leek, 2 tomatoes, 2 tablespoons minced celery, 2 tablespoons butter br drippings, 2 tablespoons green pep per, 3 teaspoons salt, H teaspoon pepper. Have the water boiling hard in a stew pan and. add all the vegetables except the potatoes and tomatoes. Holl rapidly for IO minutes, then draw back to where It will boll gently for one hour. At the end of this time add. the other ingredients and cook one hour longer. Have the cover partially off the stewpan during the entire cooking. This soup may be varied by using different kinds of vegetables. Cabbage and potato soup H pint boiled cabbage, finely minced; 3 medium-sized po tatoes, 1 y level teaspoonfuls butter, drip pings, or other fat; 1 teaspoon salt. 44 teaspoonful pepper, lk pints milk, whole or skim or milk and water, boiling hot. Peel the potatoes, cover with boiling water and cook until tender usually 30 minutes; pour off the water and mash until fine and light. Add the cabbage, butter or other fat. and seasoning, then slowly add the hot milk or milk and water and boll up well. If a thinner soup is required the amount of milk or milk and water can be Increased. If liked, an onion cut up fine and cooked In a litUe water may be added to the soup to give additional flavor, or grated cheese may be served with It. Kale, turnips, or a mix ture of vegetables can be aubstltuted for the cabbage. If desired, and this is a good way to use up left-over vegetables. Onion soup 2 large onions or 4 medium ones, 3 level tablespoonfuls fat. butter, or a mixture of the two; 3 pints boiling water, or water and skim milk (half and half); 1H teaspoonfuls salt. 44 level teaspoonful If desired. Melt the fat and when hot put In pepper, 2 tablespoonfuls flour for thickening, the onions, which have been cut up fine; cook slowly until the onions are soft, then over a hotter fire until the onions are brown but not at all burned. Add the boiling wa ter and milk, thicken with the flour stirred up in a little cold water, if It is desired to give the soup a little more "body"; botl up well and serve. It Is a common custom to pour the soup over pieces of browned bread before serving. A mild cheese, grated, is a good addition to the soup, particularly If it is made with water. Mocked Poached Egg Dessert. Mix boiled rice with a little sweet ened whipped cream and shape into round, flat patties. Cover with a layer of stiffly beaten egg whites, sweetened and flavored. On top of each place half of a canned peach. EXTRA BUTTONS AND STUDS IN TRAVELING COLLAR CASE Starched and Ironed Collars Fit Around Button Bag in Center Place Provided for Soft Collars Also.

Self-Training Is Best, Says Armour. In the March American Magazine Is an article by J. O. Armour entitled "Armour Men 'Who Got Ahead and Why." In it Mr. Armour gives his opinion of the qualifications that make for business success. "One of the truest axioms I know." he says, "is the business saying that 'the best trained man is the self trained man.' It Is my belief that no man developed by a formula in a bus iness organization can ever reach the power of one who is put on his own responsibility, knowing that his ad vancement depends on his own brains, foresight and application. "By this I do not mean that a busi ness leader should let his men go along blindly.

A serious shortage of preserving Jars and cans is threatened. Olass bottle s especially wlde ncked ones are useful for putting up fruits, Jellls and preserves. Put up fruit Juices in ordinary bottles. i Reserve reirular preserving 1 Jars and cans for canning vegetables soups and meats. United States De partment of Agriculture. THE home-canning specialists of the United States Department of Agri culture urge every housekeeper to save bottles especially wide-necked ones for putting up fruits, preserves. Jellies, Jams and fruit Juices. Saving of bottles Is highly Important, they say, as there threatens to be a serious shortage of regular jars and preserving cans this season. The fruit products named. If sealed with corks and paraffin, can be kept perfectly in these makeshift containers. Jellies. Jams and preserves can be kept even in ordinary drinking glasses, by the use of paraffin and paper. Fruit Juices should be packed In ordinary small-necked bottles. Vegetables, coups and meats, on the other hand, to keep must be sealed by the usual fruit-Jar or tin-can packing methods. Reserve regular containers for foods that cannot be packed in bottles. The specialists also are urging all members of canning clubs and others not only to can products, but to dry and evaporate all such products as apples, pumpkin and squash. They ad vise strongly that if containers are scarce locally, those in stock should be used to preserve perishable prod ucts which have the highest nutritive value. Nothing should be packed in Jars or cans which can be conserved effectively In other ways. Candy containers or other glass Jars with screw tops or glass stoppers, and In fact any receptacle of glass, crock ery or porcelain, can be sealed with cork or paper and paraffin. Large tin canisters or tin cans with removable covers, provided the body of the container is air and water tight, will be found useful in canning certain fruit products. Such containers can be sterilized and their covers hermetically sealed in place with Bolder or wax. more responsibility, up to the limit of his capacity. The man who informs himself adequately about his firm, its methods, its policies and its products, who does his work so well that no one needs follow him up to patch the rag ged edges.

A LARGE part of the $700,000,000 estimated food waste in this country is good food allowed to get Into garbage palls and kitchen sinks. Don't throw out any- leftovers that can be reheated or combined with other foods to make palatable and nourish ing dishes. Do you know That every bit of uneaten cereal can be used to thicken soups, stews or gravies? That stale bread can be used as the basis for many attractive meat dishes, hot breads and desserts? That every ounce of skimmed milk or whole milk contains valuable nour ishment? Use every drop of milk to drink or to add nourishment to cereals, soups, sauces and other foods. If you do not want milk to sour keep it cool, clean and covered continually. Remem ber, too, that sour milk, buttermilk and sour cream are valuable in cookery, so do not waste any. Sour milk and buttermilk can be used with soda in making hot breads, or sour milk can be turned easily into cottage cheese, cream cheese or clabber. Sour cream Is a good shortening in making cakes and cookies and useful for salad dressings and gravies for meat. - Do you know That every bit of meat and fish can be combined with cereals or vegetables for making meat cakes, meat or fish pies, and so on, and to add flavor and food value to made dishes? That every spoonful of leftover gravy can be used in soups and sauces or as flavoring for meat pies, croquettes and vegetables? That every bit of clean fat trimmed from meat and every spoonful of drip pings and every bit of grease that rises when meat Is boiled can be clarified, if need be, and is valuable in cookery? Don't fatten your garbage pall at the expense of your bank account. That when meat is boiled the water dissolves out some valuable) food and flavoring material? Save such water for soup or for use In stews or gravies or for cooking vegetables. Save and keep soup stock. Every professional cook knows that keeping a soup or stock pot Is an essential economy. Do you know that valuable food and flavoring get Into the water In which rice and many vegetables are cooked? Use such water for soup making if It has an agreeable flavor. Don't pour nourishment down the sewer. That careless paring of potatoes or fruits often wastes as much as 20 per cent of their food material? That the outside leaves of lettuce and the tops of many vegetables make de sirable cooked "greens" or even salads?
