By ELMO SCOTT WATSON T WAS named for Augustus Caesar 1 Roman emperor aind great military I leader, because it had been a lucky 1 month for him, this month which we Y now know as August. Although the lu United States has never prided itself 3 upon imperialism as did this ancient * conqueror—the name itself means “imperial’—the fact remains that August has been an Important month in American military history. It Is

doubtful If there have been In any other single month In the year as many important engagements with the enemy as there have during this one. Heitman's “Historical Register and Dictionary of the United States Army—l7B9-1903" Hats no' less than 296 major battles, skirmishes and other actions In which troops of our regular army have been engaged during August. Add to this number the record of Important engagements during our colonial history and It is easy to see why the characterization “August, Month of Battles ' Is an apt one. Every day in the month is the anniversary of some stirring military evanti, as witness: Augu«t 1— In IRI3 this -day saw an army of British and Indians, led by General Proctor, surround Ft. Stephenson or Lower Sanduskjy. on the present site of Fremont, Ohio. It was defended by 160 men of the Seventeenth and Twenty-fprirth Infantries, commanded by (’apt. George Cfogan who had just passed his twenty-first birthday, and six of his subordinates as youthful as himself. They held the fort against repeated assaults on this day and the next nnd when Proctor's army finally retreated, the state of Ohio was delivered from the fear of a British conquest. On August 1 and 2. 1882, away up in the northwestern corner of Illinois, an army commanded by Gen. Henry Atkinson fought the engagement known as the Battle of Bad Axe river, with the Sac and Fox warriors of Chief Black Hawk, and virtually ended the Black Hawk war.

No wonder the 4 Wagon-Box fight has come down in history an “an account that reads like a story of Cortez'*! August 3.—<>n this -By in 18t® Companies E and F of the Twenty-second lufantry and a group
of Indian scouts fought an engagement near Ft Stevenson, in North Dakota, with the hostile Sioux who were swarming about that post From its founding Ft. St. son was in an almost '’perpetual state of siege, and the white man who ventured out from its walla went to certain death. The only exception to this rule was the case of the famous scout “Yellowstone” - Kelly who acted as mall carrier between the Missouri river posts in those days.

of British regulars and Colonial*, commanded by Col. Henry Bouquet, a Swiss soldier of fortune, found themselves In a desperate predicament They were marching to the relief of Ft. Pitt a frontier outpost which w[as besieged by Indians. A large force of warriors had been sent to intercept Bouquet’s troop*. They were surround ed and there was no hjope for relief. They must fight their way out Defeat meant massacre. Fight their way out
they did. The next morning by a brilliant stroke of strategy, which should give Bouquet a place with the great captalps of American history, the Indians were overwhelmingly defeated, and his soldiers continued their triumphant march to Ft. Pitt. The battle of Bushy Run was one of the most decisive ever scored by white man over red. On this day also. August 5. in the year 1864, Admiral David Farragut won his great victory at the Battle of Mobile bay during the Civil war. August While Col. Barry St Leper was laying siege to.Ft Schuyler, an army of New Tort militia was marching to Its relief. It was com- ♦ manded by Gen. Nicholas Herkimer who had arranged with Colonel Gansevoort for a sortie from the fort at the same time that Herkimer advanced with his troops to attack St Leger.

w August 17.—Thia is the anniversary of tne one occasion when the Indian won a victory over his
enemy the “Iron Horse." On thfs date, tn 1867, a war party of- Cheyennes wrecked a train near Plum Creek, “ Neb., and plundered the contents of the I cars. But in the midst of their exultant dance a force of the famous Pawnee scouts led by Maj. Frank North and , bls brother, Capt. Luther ’ North, appeared on the scene I and put an end to their re- I jdiclng. August 18.—The streets of I the sleepy old town of Santa lie, N. M., resounded to the
hoof beats of American cavalry on August 18, 1X46. Gen. Stephen W. Kearney and his dragoons entered tfie city and raised the Start and Stripe®, proclaim: ng the Southwest American territory, j August 19.—This Is the anniversary of two famous engagements. In 1782 it saw Daniel Boone and his Kentuckians disastrously defeated by the ’ Indians and a few British at the Battle of Blue Licks, Ky.. a defeat caused by the same rashness upon the part of headstrong men that brought disaster to General Herkimer's army at Oriskaay, five years earlier. In 1812, It saw one of the greatest victories ever won by the Constitution phen her guns humbled the British ship Guerriere. August 20. —“He put the horse’s hoof on the jtnocvasin." and at the Battle of Fallen Timbers,
In Ohio, on August 20, 1794, 1 Gen. Anthony Wayne, the t “Mad Anthony" Wayne of ( Stony Point fame, inflicted a ’ crushing defeat upon the warriors of the confederated ; tribes in the Old Northwest i and brought peace at last to the harried frontier. August 21.—0 f all the Individuals whom the title of guerilja has made famous—or rather infamous—the name of Charles Quantrill leads all the rest. During the Civil war I Kansas suffered from the

scourge of war In many ways, but its most sp- ! palling disaster was Quantrill’s raid on Lawrence I on August 21, 1853. when 130 citizens fell victims | to his ferocity, making 80 widows and 250 orphans. August 22. —The last great uprising of the Indian: tribes of the Southwest took place in 1874. Ou
August 22 of that year there was a hot engagement at the Wichita agency participated : in by troops C, F, H, and L, Tenth cavalry and I. Fifth Infantry. Eventually, however, the uprising was quelled by Gen. Nelson A. Miles and his “foot cavalry.” the Fifth infantry, in a brilliant campaign In the slaked plains of Texas. August 23.—One of the most serious Indian' uprisings in American history was that
which occurred among the Sioux of Minnesota under the leadership of Chief Little Crow in 1562. Hundreds of citizens were killed before the Indians were defeated and one of the high spots of this war was the attack upon New Ulm, August -3, 1862. August 24. —Once In history the capital of our country was captured the enemy. This occurred on August 24, 1814, when a British army entered Washington, close upon the heels of the fleeing President and other high government officials. The . invaders applied the torch and flames consumed the capitol, the President’s house and other public buildings. Auguat 25. —This lathe date of a fight known to history as the “mr Men Battle” when four
privates of Company M of the Twegty-third infantry fought a sharp skirmish with a force of insurredtos near i Cebu in the Philippines, and ; defeated them. August 26—This date Is the anniversary of a number of engagements in American history. Perhaps the most Important was the fight at Valley Grove, Long Island, in 1776. preliminary to the great battle of Long Island which began on: - August 27.—Gen. Israel Put-
John Sullivan.
nam was In command of the Continental forces on Brooklyn Heights and it was the attempt of the British to drive him from this position which led to the Battle of Long Island. The British captured General Sullivan and would have captured i the whole army, if It had not been for Washington getting them across the river that night. August 28 —On August 28. lSs4.the garrison at Ft Laramie. Wyo.. one of the most famous posts, was
forced to defend Itself against an attack by the Sioux Indians. This was an aftermath of the massacre of Lieutenant Grattan, on August 19 of that year, a disaster which that impetuous young officer brought upon himself by his highhanded methods In dealing with the Indians during a dispute over a cow that had been abandoned by a passing emigrant train. August 29.—The Battle of Newton, or Chemung, on this date tn 1779, near the present
rite of Elmira, N. T.. is one of the high spots In the campaign of Gen. John Sullivan against the Iroquois Indians which broke th£ power of that great confederacy. Here Lieut. Thomas Boyd was killed, a most tragic incident of the Revolution. • Auguat 30.—This date is the anniversary of two historic events. On August 30, 1813. the commander of Ft. Mlmma. Ala., paid a fearful price • for his carelessness when a war party of Creeks led by the famous Chief Weatherford, swept down upon the fort and massacred most of the garrison. On August 30, 1862, the military genius of Stonewall Jackson was again demonstrated when he de- ' seated the Union army, commanded by Gen. John Pope, at the second battle of Bull Run. Auguat 31.—The end of the month! And it marked, too, the end of the siege of Ft. Erie in Upper Canada during the War of 1812. which began on August L 1814. and ended August 31, 1814.

Telling Age of Turtle There is no sure way In which to determine the age of a hard-shell turtle. In most instance* the plates are examined closely with a microscope and on these plates there can be noticed scald expansion. This scale expands as the turtle grows, leaving a ring of growth. These rings are counted the same as those of a tree. ’V-- ’ v •' > ; 1. y’ ■ : ’’’ - ' • v _ rf*’- ’ ,

ercises as fastidious taste as she does in the choosing of her most formal and fetching ballroom attire. And when she does just so. behold! a radiant picture of decorative display on the beach, such as this Illustration i sets forth. t For this “useful as well as ornamental” beach robe striped khaki kool is the preferred medium. The cap is also of this Romany-striped material. At every step of the way along this sandy shore one meets these sirens of the sea clad in spectacular beach array. Among the most popular beach coats which affect the picturesque in I color are many of smart linen crash dashingly printed, then bordered by way of contrast with black satin. .Os all the interesting beach styles none are perhaps more interesting, at least from the point of novelty, than are the capes and coats made of heavy unbleached muslin, decorated to simulate hand-painting For instance an

This new fashion of hand-painted unbleached muslin for resort wear blds fair to assume the proportions of a widespread vogue before the sum- | mer is past. One can make such clever coolie coats of the muslin, painting them as amusingly and gorgeously gay as one chooses. Gingham, too. is receiving its share of notice for beach apparel and bath- | Ing suits. Cretonne, also, continues to enliven the beach style, as it appear* made up in robes, parasols.

cushions and - also lounging pads. It's the “upkeep" that counts, whether this be said of one’s new motor car, one’s mansion or bungalow, one’s yacht airplane, or one’s costume if you please. “Upkeep” as applied to the latter sums up in one word —accessories. A simple matter perhaps, that of purchasing a frock, a coat or both, but the responsibility does not end there, ft is but at its beginning. The real challenge to good taste —and incidentally to one’s pocketbook—rests in the matching up of
headwear, neckwear, footwear, gloves, | handbag, parasol. Jewelery. bouton- ■ nierre and other items down to the | minutest detail. Especially is this so, since fashion has become so arbitrary on the subject, accepting as an evl-1 deuce of correct dress, nothing less than a perfectly appointed—a unified ensemble. . This demand for harmony in dress has resulted in a genuine “get together” spirit among coutourier, milliner, bootmaker, jeweler and others who contribute to the costuming of the fair sex. It is quite the proper thing to buy one’s silk hose at one’s favorite bootery, in order to Insure a perfect match to one’s slippers, and as likely as not the salesman will insist on showing you a handbag made of the selfsame leathers as the shoes you are considering. This summer, matching parasols have especially entered into the ’ i scheme of tilings. Mavbe it is a sun-
shade of scenic print silk to match the scarf gnd hat which milady chooses to perfect her ensemble such as is shown in this picture. The latest is for handbag and parasol to show some relationship, perhaps in color, perhaps In material. Snakeskin trimmings are finding their way into the realm of woman’s fashions most successfully. A new Idea is the snakeskin bandbag. with ap Interworking of the snakeskin In an accompanying umbrella. The illustration shows clever parasol and handbag sets, such as would add smartness to the street costume. Often a belt of snakeskin accompanies a parasol and handbag trimmed with the same. Ribbon plays an Important part In relating the bat to the parasol in that the identical kind used to trim the former also borders the latter. Ombre grosgrain ribbon is mostly favored for thia.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCE It is the unexpected which drawi on our resources. To be ready for an
emergency ta " being w• 11 equipped. To aid the housewife to care for common . injuries and accidents. there should be in every home, post-
ed in a conspicuous place, a list of remedies for accidents of various kinds. Time means life In many cases. Lives are being lost daily because of lack of knowing what to do and not being able to think and act [quickly. A woman who has such a list on her medicine closet door will be much more apt to keep her head because she will know that she can do the right thing. Wisdom is knowing what to do next, skill is knowing how to do It, and virtue is doing it says David Starr Jordan. A person poisoned with poison ivy if treated with bruised fresh leaves of cfttnip will be relieved from much suffering. Catnip grows so commonly all over the country that ohe need not Ibok far for plenty. For fainting lay the person on tjis back with the head lowered, allow plenty of fresh air to circulate freely and sprinkle with cold water. Do not administer water or any dtiriiulant to an unconscious person, as the muscles of swallowing are inactive and strangulation anight result. A patient who is struck by lightning should be treated to cold applications on the head and artificial? respiration, the same as one gives tor a drowning person. The lungs must be filled with air to get them back to breathing. In case of fire in one’s clothing, do not run; lie down and roll over in a rug or carpet keeping the fire from | (the face. t For sunstroke, loosen |he clothing, | lay the patient in a cool ‘ shady place ! and apply ice water to thfe head. Keep . the head elevated. i Suffocation from gas, get the patient into the open air as quickly as I possible. Aromatic spirits of ammonia and nux vomica are both good stimulants to give to stimulate the heart. To stop bleeding, bind fa handful of flour on the cut. For poison from acid, give milk and soda. Send for the doctor at once. Vinegar should be given for lye poisoning. Mustard and water will cause vomiting. The Luscious Field Mushroom. With a reliable book and a little field work with an expert, one may
feel perfectly safe to gather the field mushroom. It is best tp confine oneself to a few varieties which are eiisily when not proficient in mycology. All fungi should be avoided vfhen overripe or attacked by slugs.
During the hot months the fungus is apt to be wormy. Authorities differ as to the digestibility of the mushroom, but all agree tliat their chief attraction lies in their flavol. and so they will always be held in high esteem. Mushrooms may be prepared in many inviting forms! as dishes and In combination with other foods making most tempting dlsHes. Cream of Mushroom Soup.—Chop half a pound of fresh mushrooms, add four cupfuls of chicken stock with a slice of onion. Cook twenty minutes and then rub through a sieve. Reheat. bind with a tablespoonful each of flour and butter cooked together and just before serving add two tablespoonfuls of orange juice. Buttered Mushrooms. —Cut off the bottom of the stalks of half a pound of mushrooms. Place them upside down in a buttered baking dish. Put a piece of butter in each cup. sprinkle with salt and pepper, cover closely and bake twenty minqtes. Sej-ye with lettuce sandwiches. Green Peppers and Mushrooms.— Wipe carefully and break into small pieces fresh mushrooms, fry slightly in a tablespoonful of butter. There. should be a cupful when cooked Add one-half cupful of cream, three tabietpoonfuls of soft bread crumbs, onehalf cupful of chopped dams, salt and pepper to taste and one beaten egg yolk. Fill green peppers which have been prepared by parboiling in salted water, after seeds and fiber have been removed.
