GRANDMA SUES FORIRLS MOTHER 'PROMISES 17 NEW ! SCHOOLS IN AUTUMN | Commissioner Whalen De- nounces Mandatory Legisla- tion for New York City. | Commissioner Grover Whalen of the Department of Plant and Structures, speaking before the Park Community Council at Public School No. 87, at 87th Street, near Park Avenue, on the City Administration last night, said seventeen new schools would be opened next September in New York. This is the greatest step in echool construction made in the last twenty years, he declared. | Discussing traction difficulties and mandatory legislation to compel the City of New York to follow the dic-, tates of the reat of New York State, without regard to local desires, the Commissioner said: | “There is one solution of the prob- lem. We can draw a line at the South Westchester line and call the City of New York the State of New York. We are sick and tired of being the conquered province for the State of New York to levy tribute on.” He also announced that the Board of Estimate would pass to-day the plans for a survey of the tunnel under the Narrows from Staten Is- land\to Brooklyn,’ + Plans for the erection of a huge terminal market in the Bronx to serve the district from 86th Street north, he announced, would go to the Board of Estimate to-day, The Staten Island trolley lines which the city took over, he said, would just about break even on the five-cent fare.

FOR MISS 14 TO 20 The real “Mimi’ Frock Offered for the first time in fine crepe de chine, same as our $82.50 model... “The little frock with the ribbons” which we introduced to New York this Spring.

The same dressmaker that made our $32.50 crepe de chine “Mimi” frock has made the frocks of this Special Presentation. Moreover, he has made them of the same fine crepe de chine as that used in the $32.50 model. “MIMI” frocks may be chosen Saturday in the following modish colors and combinations— $21.50 blue ribbons. FRENCH BLUE with gray bons, bons. for the narrow bindings. cherry, gray, beige or French rib- BEIGE with brown ribbons. Heavy silk crepe—a well-known sports silk—is the material.
