It will be a little cooler for the Amer ican soldiers In the Philippines It an experiment the war department has ordercd.to be thoroughly tested proves to lie a success. Orange colored un derwear and hat linings arc to be worn by 6,000 soldiers In the Islands daring the next year and observations made with a view of ascertaining U the theories evolved from experiments In laboratories In Washington are ap plicable with corresponding results Ir the field. Color Scheme In the Army. Experiments carried on under the direction of Surgeon General Relllj and Inspector General XSarllngton re- j vealed the fact that plants under an orange colored glass grew less rapidly , than those under any other shade and less man uau as inst as plants ex- posod to the direct rays of the sun. Other tests showed that black and , red absorbed the rays of the sun and i thus Increased the warmth of persons 1 wearing clothing thus dyed. White. 1 blue and green disintegrated the rays, 1 while dlsnersine them most effective-' ly. Oddly enough, further experiments showed that orange, although contain-1 lng some red, practically prevented the passage of the rays of heat. With the reports favoring the use of orange colored clothing Quarter-1 master General Aleshlre has ordered I 5.000 suits of underwear and hat lln lngs dyed In orange color and shipped to the Philippines for distribution. Only orange colored underwear will be Issued to soldiers for one year, during which time close medical observa tion will be made of these men and a comparison of their health made with soldiers wearing white underwear. Huge Bronze Casting. The largest piece of bronze ever cast . In a single piece in this country, if not ' In the world, was successfully execut-1 ed at Elrawood, near Providence. ' It was the Immense horse for the j equestrian statue of General Phil Shcr-1 Idan recently unveiled in this city. The flask in which the mold was contained was about twelve feet In length, six and one-half feet high and eight feet In width and weighed be tween seventy and seventy-five tons before the metal was poured into it It was strapped and supported on the outside by iron and held In position by immense reds and screws. The work of making the mold was com menced early In August and was con tinued day and night Sheridan on Horseback. The statue Is of heroic proportions and depicts "Gallant Phil" Sheridan on the back of- his famous dark bay Kentucky steed Rienzi in the very act of turning to his fleeing soldiers at Cedar creek after his historic twenty mile ride from Winchester. With one hand he is holding back his powerful horse, while with the other, in which his hat is clutched, he Is waving to his men and encouraging them to turn the 1 tide of retreat I The figure of Sheridan is a portrait j likeness. His clothing and accouter j ments are modeled after garments , worn by him. He is shown wearing a service uniform, with sword and spun. I His hat is rolled up in the hand with which ho is beckoning to his men. The f..e one cf lhc strongest pattS Of the whole figure, being clean cut and full of energy. The general's body is turned halfway around In the saddle. In his left hand are the reins, while the right is stretched out to his sol dlers. A Famous Steed. The horse is also modeled as far as j possible after the horse which Sheridan I rode. The animal, which was some I times known as Rienzi and sometimes ' as Winchester, was skinned after its , death, and the hide was presented to the Governors island museum, where , l has since been preserved. The size ! and general contour of the horse were gained from this relic. I The statue is fourteen feet high and 1 stands on a plinth of granite. The i groundwork represents the rough earth ! of the field across which Sheridan j rode. I The Incoming White House Host. I When Mr. Taft takes possession of ! the executive mansion and office there will be one change which the employ ees will do well to mark. Mr. Taft eats no luncheon. About half past 8 In the morning he takes a hearty breakfast, and this lasts him until din ner time, when he can do justice to as good a meal as any one. No matter how nctlve he has been, the luncheon Is scratched from Mr. Taft's pro gramme. This means an additional hour of work, and unless Mr. Taft should establish luncheon as a means of entertaining the more distinguished of his visitors, as does Mr. Roosevelt, Hie hour of quiet which now marks the White House day between 2 and S o'clock will be eliminated after March 3. Tafts Fond of Entertaining. Both Mr. and Mrs. Taft are fond of entertaining, and with a daughter who will bo n White House debutante and popular son nt Yale the fireplaces will glow a cordial welcome to many ftiests. Thoso who are most Intimate Mth the Tafts predict that Mrs. Taft will entertain moro than baa Mrs. 1 Roosevelt and Mr. Taft less than bis predecessor In office. Mr. Taft's hos pitality Is considered likely to bo ex 1 teuded moro largely to his intimates than to new acquaintances, and aside from the official dinners and such calls as courtosy and custom demand 1 of him his hospitality will bo more of the "come over and have dinner with , as" kind which Is extended Informally among old friends. Mrs. Taft Is a graceful hostess, and should the Whlto House not bo a lively place during the Idtnlulstratlon of her ht-Aband Wash ington will bavo a disappointment OARL SCHOFIELD. WOMAN AND FASHION Dresay Tailored Effect. The dressy effect of many of the new coat and skirt suits depends upon the trimming used. The foundations of most of the favored models are usually simple, but an elaborate effect Is gained by heavy braid and ornaments. This idea Is Illustrated In the smart suit shown In the Bketch. Although abso lutely simple In design, the heavy braid ornaments give it quite an elaborate and dressy air. The skirt, very severe in cut, is oddly and most effectively trimmed with the same ornaments seed A P2ETTT TKTMllINa SOHXUO. on the coat The long, close fitting sleeves are also a feature, and the long. sloping shoulder effect is pleasing. The one piece costume now so popu lar has brought the separate coat Into high favor, and considerable thought should be given to the choice of the useful garment for if wisely chosen it will prove a Joy to Its owner during the entire season. For those who can afford it a coat made of the material of each cloth gown is desirable, but would prove quite expensive If one In tends having two or more cloth cos tumes, and a fur coat will be found for the winter months by far the most satisfactory, for it Is always rich, dressy in effect and may be worn with both light and dark skirts with satis factory results. Boots Vary This Seooon, Boots vary this year according to the i costumes with which they are worn, ' but the smartest as well as most gen erally becoming boots show a mod erately high Cuban or military heel and somewhat pointed toes. The broad, square toed shoes are truly , hideous. They ruin the appearance of I even the daintiest foot, and they are 1 no more hygienic and comfortable than a slightly pointed shoe, provided al- ways that the latter shoe is long enough to permit of a slight point with- out compressing the foot The very high heels are bad for the j feet and the body as well and are dan- ' gerous in themselves, as even those ac- ' customed to them are far more likely to trip and fall than with any other sort of shoe. Yet the very high Louis heel is still worn by some. New Suits For Boys. The coat that will be worn by fash ionably dressed little boys will be belt ed and double breasted.. It Is called the Derby. The cut of the coat is looser than little boys have been used to wearing, and there are openings at the back scam and at both the side seams. A Useful Blouse.
