GOOD WEATHER IMPORTANT
This Month Delights the Farmers
and Truckers

September has So far delighted farm
ers and truckers with warm, growing
weather. This Is of the greatest inn
poTtance this season, for the reason
that tho early summer was SO back
ward that plants were fully month
behind their usual time in getting a
start.
Corn was in the same position on
june Is that il should have been on
May Is, and while ii caught up"
some during the summer, the lost
ground was not fully recovered. In
spection of some splendid looking
fields Of this cereal in the vicinity
OF Anne Arundel shows that the ears
are still in the silk stage, with the
grains ON the tip of the ear not fully
formed. such corn, il is thought,
will require fully a month of fairly
good weather in order to harden up
sufficiently to- keep we'll and become
a understandable article.
Tomatoes and other varieties of truck
will also require fully "A month Of
good weather, free from frost, in order
10 bring 20 the growers an average
crop and a fair measure of profit.
And cattle feeders know we'll that
every day that the fall pasture remains
green and abundant saves them so
much Of their winter supplies of grain
and provender.
While the farmers of this section
have rejoiced through the whole sum-
mer because of frequent and abundant
rains. States to the north and the south
Of us have suffered severely from
drought. New Jersey and parts of
New York are parched, and in Connec-
ticut the Country people have in many
places been compelled to haul water
from streams because of the failure of
their wells and springs. In Texas the
drought has been Of such proportions
that ii Is thought the cotton crop will
no be more than one-fourtb as large
az was expected.

LEGAL DRESS REFORM

Fashions Which VIII Ruls Devotses
the Coming Year-Proceedings
Of the CONVENTION.

The second days session Of the Merchant
Taflors' National Protective Association Of
America at the Arlington Hotel was called
to order at 10 o'clock this morning. Reports
Of the secretary, administrative council and
local associations were heard, after which
Mr.. John Patterson Of New York delivered
an address on legal Dress Reform"
The session adjourned at o'clock until
10 o'clock tomorrow morning. At $50
o'clock this afternoon the delegates and
their families were escorted to the White
House to be presented to the President.
After the reception at the White House

steps Of the Treasury Department.
The session will close tomorrow after
noon and banquet will be given in the
evening at the hotel
Garments on Exhibition.
In connection with the convention an ex-
hibition Of several hundred garments from
the Pacific coast, Seattle. Chicago. New
York, New Orleans. st. Paul and many
other cities, is given in one Of the hotel
parlors for the benefit Of the members OF
the association. The idea Of exhibiting
these suits is to give the members the ben
eft Of the styles. as figured out by the
different tailors in all parts Of the United
States. At the conclusion of the meet
Ing. catalogues are to be issued setting
forth the prevailing styles for the sum-
mer and winter Of 1907.
1t Is stated narrow shoulders. with rather
square effect, and shorter sack coats are
to prevail this year. which is just the op-
posite to the style that has prevailed for
several years, the idea having been to pad
the shoulders as much as possible. Long,
loose-ftting coats have also prevailed here
tofore.
Vents in the coats are IN ,,a left to tho
discretion Of the customer or tailor, al
though the plain coats are regarded as the
proper thing. Double-breasted coats will
not be worn great deal during the sum-
width to the lapel of the coat. 1t will
take long, soft-roll effect, but not in the
extreme. The sleeves Of the undercoat
will be easy fitting
Jewels on Waistcoat.
Fancy waistcoats will be Of the very ex-
pensfve design, as the buttons will be
jewels. and will cost from IS to $50 or more,
according to the wish Of the customer.
The vests will be made without collars a
round sweep and long points in front. They
will be cut slightly lower in front than the
present style.
In the overcoat line there is wide range,
the tendency being for form-fitting, straight
box coat. The fashion of the street covert
will probably be revised. The paletot and
the surtout coats are not particularly in
favor.
There will not be any changes in the
trousers. The turning up Of trouser ends
will be a matter of taste with the wearer.
The colors will probably be blue, brown
and various shades of green. There is q
tendency toward a mixed goods. Cheviots
are to be worn q great deal. Unfinished
worsted also meets with much favor and
will undoubtedly be the prevailing cloth for
everyday wear and business clothes.

POULTRY REGULATIONS.
Sanitary Inspectors Of Health Depart
mept BUSY.

Copies of the poultry regulations are be-
ing distributed to all persons in the city
who own and keep poultry and pigeons.
Under the regulations of the Commissioners,
promulgated early last December, it is nee
essary for owners of poultry and pigeons to
have permits from the health department.
Blank application forms for such permits
are furnished by the health officer. The lat
ter finds that the work required to be done
In connection with the granting of permits is
so great that his inspectors have to neglect
their sanitary work or delay the prelimi-
nary work that is made necessary before
such permits are granted. Before an ap-
plication can be acted upon favorably it is
necessary for the applicant to have at least
seventy-fve per cent of the adults living
within a certain radius of his property to
sign the application.
1t is the work of verifying the signatures
that consumes so much time of the sanitary
inspectors. More than one hundred names
are attached to some of the applications and
1t is necessary for the inspectors to verify
each of them.

had finished his investigation then"
1t is provided in the law that the regula-
tbon shall not apply to fowls or pigeons con-
| fined in coops in regularly established pro-
vision or commission stories or public mar
kets or to homing pigeons While this regu-
| lation does not apply to cases in which pro-
prietors of provision stores keep poultry In

| Law would apply to such a case. The keep
ing of coops OF fowls in provision stores,
| he said. would certainly not benefit the
provisions kept in the place and he thought
other health regulations would apply to
prevent such a practice.
In cases where permits have been refused,
| ii is stated. the owners of the fowls have
been notified to kill or otherwise dispose of
their fowls within fifteen days. Applicants
who have been so notified. 1t is stated have
made out new applications and fled them
| just before the expiration of the fifteen
days. The new application. they argue. acts
as a stay of execution and may prevent the
officers from accomplishing what il intended
| to be accomplished by the law. The law
also provides against fowls being permitted
to run at large. and imposes a penalty upon
persons whose parrots song birds disturb
/ the peace of neighbors.
