This, it was ex- plained, would entail a loss of time | and money. It is difficult to get labor and when men are wanted they are generally sought for immediate work, 1t would require several hours to bring a workman to the doctor, have him examined and then bring him back to work, Bailey's letter stated. Regarding a provision that a fence be constructed from the outlet, Bailey sald this wouldn't be necessary as the | work of harvesting ice not carried to point which is unsafe. On motion of Commissioner Joseph Lamb it was voted to recommend to the council that contracts be signed with Carbo. Commissioners Lamb and Sheehan voted in favor of the motion. Commissioner E. W. Pelton did not arrive at the meeting until after the decision was reached, but when the fdcts were laid before him he made the action unanimous. Hatch Mum on Opposition The decision to make such a recom- mendation to the council was reached without any discussion of the merit of harvesting ice at the reservoi + This was somewhat of a surprise since Chairman W. L. Hatch earlier in the day had told newspapermen that he would be in favor &f rejecting all bids submitted. Commissioner Pelton had also asserted that if it could be proved to him that the bourd was empower- ed to so act he would favor the re- jecting of all proposals. Neither of the commissioners at last night's meeting made such a suggestion or ‘inquired into the board's powers alfecting the rejecting of bids, Chairman Hatch reported that he had procured signs to be posted at the reservoir prohibiting the coamitting of nuisances, fishing, bathing, washing | any article or animal on the premises or in the streams. be posted at the request of the gov- ernment.

CONGRESSMAN | IN AUTO SMASH-UPi Represcatative Mervitt of This State and Ropresentative 'Treadway of Mass,, Migure in Bad Crash, Ny George H. Manning of New Britain Herald.) \Vashington, D, €., Dec. 13.—Rep- resentative Schuyler Merritt of Stam- ‘ord, Conn,, and Representative Allan I. Treadway of Massachusefts had a arrow escape from serfous . injury turday morning when Mr, Merritt's sedan, which he was driving himself, turned over following a coijiston with another automobi'e driven by a lady ut Thirteenth and § streets north-| woest, The Merritt car turned over on ite side, imprisoning both congressmen inside, Witnesses of the accident| were forced to make a hole through the roof of the car to liberate them. The other car, driven by Mrs. I'm ! ma Newmyer jumped the curb and crashed into a lamp post, demolishing | the post and badly smashing the auto- mobile. i The Merritt machine was also de- molished, but the t(wo congressmen escaped injury except for a few bruises. They boarded a street car and continued on their way to the capitol where they were bound from their homes wien the collision occur-{ ted. They made no mention of the accident at the capitol and it was not until Sunday when the police reported the collision that anyone except the spectators know about :t. The polics are investigating the ac- cident but have not yet fixed the re- sponsibility for the collision. Tt will probably be seitled in the traffic court vnless the owner of one of the cars: agrees to settle for repairs to the oth- | er's machine which will, in either case, virtually amount to complete re- placement as both cars were complete- v wrecked.

So the situation is by no means hopeless. To lengthen a skirt is no difficult matter if you have a bolt of ribbon and a bit of ingenuity. You may add panels to the front, back, sides or to all of them and not only lend the illusion of length, and give the proper uneven line, but you ‘can give yourself the altogether pleas- ant sensation of a new frock. I'or the most serviceable type of frock, satin or moire ribbons the col- ors of the frock are most used, but gowns whose activities are limited to afternoon and evening functions may be gorgeously decorated with figured and brocaded bands, in harmony or contrast. 1t may IT'S EASY T0 LENGTHEN AN OLD SKIRT | A dark costume may be pepped up | tromendously by a self-toned _girdle, outlined at each edge with an inch band of color. Picot-edged rikbon, and the double-faced variety where the under side is.of a contrasting color, are greatly liked for these pur- poses, The girl with a taste for millinery makes a very attractive costume by constructing a turban to match her sash., The same gown may have a number of ribbon appliances, each one of which gives a different effect to the frock. Indeed, rightly treated, your last | season’s frock may become this sea- son's favorite instead of being rele- gated to an ignominious position at the back of the clothes closet, or be- stowed upon a sherter sister.
