Stefnnsson expected to return the

feasiblc, to go cast to Banks Island.
McConnell and the others were sent
back to have a boat sent to Banks
Island if Stefansson and the others
should not return to the north coast
of- the North American continent. On
Stefanssoirs failure to return to the
mainland, two whaling captains were
sent to Banks Island, but there was
no trace of Steiaiissoii or his party
there.. The wliulers brought back
-word that the ice had broken up
earlier than usual and that Stcfans-
son, if hc sought to reach llanks isl-
and, liad been prevented by open
water.
MCCONNELL IS OPTIMISTIC.
"l believe that Stet`ansson’s re-
sourcefulness would enable him and
his companions to live on the ice for
two and a. half or three years," said
McConnell at his home in New York
today. “The difficulty ' which he
would face in trying to escape from
the ice to the mainland or to Wran-
gel or Banks Island lies in the fact
that his sleds will carry only food
enough to support the party for a
short distance. On this account he
will have to stay near spots where
the hunting is good, unless he event-
ually finds himself carried by the
drift to a point close enough to land
to make a dash for it.
“Stefaiisson had with him 400
rounds of ammunition. He is a dead
shot. On one of his previous explora-
tions he supported himself and two
companions for a year on the game
which he killed with sixty-two curt-
ridges. I have never seen him miss
his mark with a rifle.

edge of this ice pack, about 800 miles
long, the~aeroplane would leave the
ship and fly about 175 miles in s
northwesterly direction. The aviators
-could cover a range of about five
niiles on either side of their course,

THE Newssr iN :messes AND
ACCESSORIES
Fasl1ion's traditional flckleness is
emphasized in the hat, perhaps be-
cause in no article of wear is there
more room for imagination; and so
one finds pleasing military fantasies
in the present season all the way from
blue cherries to pink pine cones. Na-
ture, indeed, is out-nuturcd. A fas-
cinating new brim shows a Greek key
edge bound in silk braid.
Blue and white, says a leading mil-
iiner, bids fair to rivalwblack and
white. though not l0...f-Qtlpplant it.
Black and white promisesfindeed, to
become a standarslcombihation lin
clothing and less feminine things as
well. Many of the hats are entirely
crownless while others have full
crowns of maline. The transparent
note is really being transferred to the
crown from the brim. Upon black
:ind white millliiiery black kbirds are
found upon all white hats, the bird
placed upon the crown and faced in
black, thus keeping the feathers of
the wings ilrm and at the same time
giving xi. sillioutte effect that is new
imd smart.
Ilave you seen thc dresses that are
worn backward? At least, they ap-
pear so. Some have Dutch collars tliui;
lower into a V at the back; and if it
were not for the hump they would
make, Windsor ties would probably
adorn this back V.
Hip belts upon full skirts are be-
coming quite the thing. The skirt is
gathered at the normal waist line; but
its consequent houffant folds are
banded into a semblance of slender-I
ness by a narrow belt that comes well
down over the hips. Sometimes a cord
is used for the same purpose.
A lovely Oriental turban of black
grossgrain silk has its folds apparent-
ly confined to the head by a gold
snake an inch or so above its brimless
edge.
It seems impossible to abolish the
tunic, give it what other name we
will. Indeed, one spick-span new
creation is frankly described as hav-
ing a “short tunic." As the tunic is
it great redeeming feature of the lin-
gerie dress, it is a very welcome sum-
mer note.
Plaid silks ,are increasing in popu-
larity- llarticularly in white grounds
whole black -and white effect.
Some French dresses are being
made with petticoat ruflles inside.
The ruillcs are attached to tiers to
the inside of the skirt, thus .loiug
iiway with the necessity for more
than one pcttlcoat to obtain the bou-
|1`ant effect.
Charming sports "slip-ons" very

blazers are made of heavy, coarse silk
crepe. They are made along exact
blazer lines, and are to be had in
stripes of various color combinations.
They are washable and retain their
shape far better than the knitted
ones. Besides, the silk crepe jackets
can bc worn upon n greater variety
of occasion than can the knitted bla-
zer.
The love of flesh-colored underwear
has extended to the corsets, and there
is now a great fashionable demand for
pretty pink stays.
The pretty little neck bouquet wan-
dered dowii to the waist, and from
there is has now transferred its af-
fections to the cuff of the gown or

RAILROAD EXTENSION
Regina.--That practically 3.500
miles of railway lines were construct-
ed in Saskatchewan since 1905 is re-
vealed in a report prepared by the
Provincial Department of Railways at
ltegina. In ten years' time the rail-
way milcngc in the province luis been
almost quadrupled. The report points
out that in 1905, in a journey across
the plains entrance to Saskatchewan
by rail from the cast niigbt have been
iiiude at seven diffcrciit points and
exit to the west at two different
points. Whilst railway extension work
has been pushed in all dlrcctions, the
greatest development has been not-
ably iilong cast and wcst lines, indi-
cating the gencriil direction truiilclias
taken iii its way to avuilulilo markets.
The report points to thc fact that the
increased productivity of Saskatchew-
an farms during the last decade
necessitated additional branch lines to
brliig the farmer within such distance
of transportation facilities as would
pcrnilt of the profitable pursuit of his
calling, and the branches were re-
quired by tlie companies tlieineelves
to serve its feeders to the trunk lines.
Measured in terms of acreage the
possibilities suggested by this increas-
ed railway mileage iire striking. Tak-
ing tlie increase in round numbers to

13,000,000 SHELLS IN U. 8.
CLEVELAND, 0., Aug 7.-The Rus-
sian Government is reported to be
placing contracts for nearly a quarter
of a million dollars' worth of war
munitions in the United States. Of
that sum approximately $10,000,000
probably will pour into the coffers of
Cleveland factories.
Henry C. Osborn, President of the
American Multigraph Company, today
outlined the extensive ratification of
the huge order for shrapnel shells
placed by the Russians in New York
ten days ago.
“Contracts were let for a maximum
of 13,000,000 slielis Mr. Osborn said.
gan & Co. were acting not only as fin-
ancial agents ior the British War Of-
fice but also for the Russians. Vir-
tually the vast quantity of shells was
ordered ln one contract split up among
a number of companiesx' A complete
shell will cost $18 making a total cost
of $234,000,000.
“The facts have been kept more or
less secret because, while thc con-
tract had been placed an important dc-
cision as to the style of fuse to be
used has yet to be made U on that
_ . . . . p
It is not often give" to men to wm.Ldcpeiids many sub-contracts adecting

Mr. Osborn said that a commission

this couiitry to coiiduct firing tests

_absolute authority. but that its move-
_ments limi been kcpi si-cr:-,t by the

IlRt)f!i{VlLl.l-Z, Ont. August. 10,-A
combination of rain, hail and electric-
