WOOD BLOCK PAVING

1t is said to be likely the Commissioners

form of surface IS a trifle more expensive
than asphalt and the other types, but

Several weeks ago Superintendent
Woods reminded the Commissioners that

wanted the old Belgian blocks around the

this suggestion, included an item in their

In General Use Elsewhere
The modern creos2ted wood block pave
ment. it is said. is coming into genera!
use IN the larger cities of this country,
70 lowing the example set by the great
cities of Europe, which use practically
nothing else. All of the lower part of

derstand that the Louisiana company
will endeavor to prove that the cargoes
that are coming in should be classified as
refined sulphur in order to make them
pay the full duty.
The situation is considerably compli-
Gated by the fact that the Italian govern-
ment is financially interested in the trans
action. 1t actually owns the sulphur in
question and has got to get rid of 1t in
some way. The Italian embassy in this
city has entered no protest or objection
to the appeal of the Louisiana company,
but one of the secretaries called infor-
mally at the office of the Attorney Gen.
eraI to ask for information. No repre-
sentations have yet been made to the De-
partment of State. and it is evident that
the Italian authorities do not intend to
concern themselves with the matter until
some unfavorabIe action is taken by our
government

There was an odor of birthstone around
the trust buster annex of the Attorney
Generals Office last week, and a unique
situation was developed. Several mem
hers of the greatest of all monOpolies,
came in to ask for the help and protec-
tiOn of the government against another
monopoly and suggested a new weapon

business of the United States Is almost
entirely in the hands of a single COM

MopisH PURSES ARE MANY.
Conventional Styles of Long Ago No
 Longer in Favor.

Girls nowadays are not satisfied with the stiff. conventional purses that their mothers have always car ried. The monotony of the ordinary pocketbook seems to have got on their nerves. so they have devised all sorts of ways in which to vary it.
 One new purse is little leather af. fair, which can be fastened to ones belt, like a watch fob, and it has be- come very popular because it is so hard to lose. It opens out like a mans wallet; that is, you can fold your bills up inside. Then there are little compartments for nickels and dimes and quarters, so that, notwithstanding its tiny size when rolled up, you can really carry quite good deal of money in it.
 Another new purse is knitted bag of variegated hues. This, too, will hold quite a good deal of money, both bills and change, in addition to a handkerchief. several samples of dress goods. car tickets. and all the important papers that girls love to carry around with them.
 But the most curious of all is the purse in the handle of her umbrella. The top of the umbrella opens by means of a spring. disclosing a tiny receptacle for nickels and dimes. You just can't imagine anything more cute.
 Along the same line are the little leather folders. in which she now car ries her car tickets. But these are not purses themselves. for she carries her folder inside her purse. Blessed be the man that invented the folders. for without his aid she would surely have got her car tickets most sadly mixed up with her important papers.

Birds, Heads on hata

When fur heads are packed away in camphor this spring their place will be taken by bird heads for hat trimming purposes. One of the new est models among the imported chapeaus shows a circle of small green parokeet heads. making the round of the crown. The hat is a sort of twentieth century sailor. with high rolled back and downward curved front brim. and Is trimmed on the sides. well toward the rear. with high stiff wings. colored green to match the tiny heads. The hat itself Is a dark green miroir felt. and has a plain rough edge.
