PROPER CARE FOR YOUR HATS
Velvet Headgear Needs Especial At­
tention— Each H at Should Have
Box of Its Own.
It is not only the wear that a hat
receives that makes it lose its fresh­
ness and shape. It is the way the hat
Is treated when it is not in use that
has a good deal to do with this.
Velvet hats are so much In evidence
this season that the chances are yon
have one or will have before many
weeks. These need particular care,
and will repay you the care you give
them. The old-fashioned way was to
have a piece of heavy black mourn­
ing crepe with which to rub off the
dust from velvet, but a velvet brush
te easier to handle. A heavy, coarse
brush should never be used on velvet.
The best time to brush dust from
velvet Is after you have worn the hat,
unless it is damp or spotted with rain.
Then you should not use a brush until
tt lias been thoroughly dried.
It is hard In limited quarters to give
your hats the right place to repose
when not in use, unless you are content
to get along with but one or two
hats a season. Ideally, each hat should
ha\ e a box of its own, and even your
ordinary hats should be boxed when
not in use. Hats that have trimming
of the down-drooping variety should
not be laid flat in a box but should
rest on a little hat block—anything,
in fact, that will raise the brim some­
what from the bottom of the box.
A piece of china silk—an old silk
handkerchief Is good—is useful In
caring for your hats. Quills should
be carefully wiped off with it and
ostrich feathers may be dusted gently.
Any trimming with cire finish or let
ornaments may be carefully dusted
with this silk.
Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 7. — The
atomic weights of nearly forty of the
ninety or more chemical elements out
of which everything in the universe is
built have been definitely determined
by Harvard chemists In the course of
investigations begun thirty-five years
ago and extending up to the present
time.
. Attention was called to this pro­
longed research today by the an­
nouncement that largely on account
of his work in this field, Prof. Theo­
dore W. Richards, Nobel prize winner
in 1914 and director of the Wolcott
Gibbs Memorial laboratory at Har­
vard, had been appointed a member
of the international committee of
scientists on elements, while Prof
Gregory P. Baxter, formerly a pupil
of Prof. Richards and now an Inde­
pendent investigator at Harvard, had
been chosen for the international com­
mittee on atomic weights.
The Harvard research is said to
have^thrown new light on the perplex­
ing problem of the nature of matter,
while data obtained are being used
daily by thousands of chemists
throughout the world.

It is to the lasting credit of these
American masters, shipowners say,
that they accept reduced rank cheer­
fully and in their service they render
a very high degree of allegiance and
obedience to the officers temporarily
above them. This applies not only to
their periods of actual duty, but to
the traditional sea discipline when off
watch.
The laying up of one ship a fte r an­
other until practically one-half of
America's post-war fleet of commerce
carriers has been relegated to a quiet
anchorage, awaiting return of nor­
malcy in world commerce, has put
thousands of good American seamen
“on the beach,” as they term it.
Officers suffer with the firemen and
the sailors in the enforced idleness.
Cluhrooms of associations of officers
always are well filled now by licensed
men awaiting a possible opening on
some trip. When a call for an officer
comes in it is tendered to the man
understood to be most in need of the
work, aud by him it is cheerfully ac­
cepted regardless of the rank it car­
ries.
The records show that but compara­
tively few are in actual financial dis­
tress through enforced idleness. A
man who has reached the bridge
through long years of hard wbrk has
generally learned to be thrifty, and
I d the good years to lay aside some­
thing for the lean ones.
