With the completion of the present month of June new and interesting statistics concerning Indiana fires and fire prevention will be available through the Indiana fire marshal department. The Indiana fire marshal department was established May 15. 1913, and while every effort was made to gather complete information and data from May 1, for the entire month it is felt in the department that only from May 15 on are the figures and statistics complete. June 1 of last year was really the first month for which full statistics were gathered Thus, when the figures for June of this year are compiled, the department will, for the first time, find it possible to compare statistics for the same month in two years. This comparison is expected to bring to light many interesting features now being made toward fire prevention in Indiana. An artificial island of reinforced concrete has been built in the Mediterranean at Hyeres Strait, near Toulon, the great French uaval base.. wßich it to be used solely for testing torpedoes. The island, says the June Popular Mechanics Magazine, is not a large one, being less than 80 ft. long by about 50 ft. broad, and is built upon a rein forced-concrete caisson, which was. towed out from Toulon and sub merged. It Is divided into compart ments by walls 4 ft. thick, in the largest of which, 10 ft. below the sea level the torpedoes are handled. Projecting from this compartment are three torpedo tubes, while above the surface of the water. 10 ft. in the air, are two aerial-torpedo tubes. The operating mechanism, which uses electricity as a motive power, is all contained in the superstructure built over the caisson, and lighting and ventilating systems as well as wireless and searchlights are provided. An electric crane extending out from one side permits the torpedoes to be lifted from the water and returned to their stations after practice. In the "About People” department of the June Woman's Home Companion appear a picture and sketcli of Fanny Y. Cory, the well-known artist who draws wonderful pictures of children. Her real name is Mrs. Fred Cooney, and she lives on a Montana ranch. Following is an extract from the sketch: "Mrs. Cooney, then Miss Cory liegan her career as an illustrator in New York when a very young girl, her pictures of children and highly realistic fairies winning almost Immediate appreciation. A few years later, while on a vacation in the Rocky Mountains, she formed the friendship that resulted in her marriage to a Montana man and her permanent residence in Montana. Besides being able to make many people happier with her drawings and to rejoice her own youngsters with thrilling tales of a remarkable family called ’Skeezuins,' Mrs. Cooney is a fearless rider, an excellent shot and an enthusiastic camper. Her home is on a ranch twenty miles from Helena, with the chief range of the Rockies four miles to the east, a lake, seven miles long directly before the house, with a line of hills rising two miles beyond its further shore."

ftp Practical K Fashion Hints Z. tjtS.A By Alicr Gibson 1L Mi -Lr /JO}. V/u ijj ovT The low-belted, long waisted frock is one of the most popular styles for children. Low collars and straight lined skirts are as modish for the little maid as for her grown up sister No. 7(197 is a long waisted blouse dress in drop-shoulder effect, closing at the side front; It has a full length Sleeve and a plaited skirt attached to qn underwaist. Some of the prettiest school frocks <tre being made of wool crepe in the new vivid shades and trimmed with a touch of dark plaid or a bit of embroidered batiste, which cun easily be removed and freshened. This dress would be effective made in a blue or red wool crepe with collar and cuffs of plaid. Another pretty way of adding a bit of contrast to a frock of this description Is to outline the buttonholes with the silk Instead of making the regulation buttonhole. It will require 3% yards of material to make this dress in size 12. with Uj yard of contrasting material for collar and cuffs. The pattern is cut in 4 sizes—S to 14. This Is a Perfect Pattern.
