PEACH ooLoRED MoUssELINE GOWN.
There is nothing trying in its abso-

the body one long lovely line Of beauty.
The fashionable gown Of the year re-

A very long waist line, as many
inches as possible from chin to girdle.
A very round belt, without a suspi-

A very full bust, well rounded and

She will need a pair Of small hips
this season, no matter how she may
want to dress, and it win interest heI
to know that the hips are more easily
taken down than they were formerly.
The rubber roller is one form OF re
ducing the hips, and a woman who has
had great success taking down her
hips declared to her physical culture
club that she had done 1t by massaging
with a homemade rubber roller. She
took a toy rolling pin and covered it
with several layers Of rubber With
this she went over her hips systemat-
ically, reducing the fat and taking of
the flesh in such gradual layers that
she was not weakened thereby.

Levy Court Has Authority,
However, to Raise Pay of
Clerks, Says Mr..
Townsend

Sylvester d. Townsend, Jr., Levy
Court attorney. sent the court to-day
an opinion in which he declared the
court has no authority to raise the
salaries of the collectors, of county,
road and poor tax collectors, but has
authority to increase the salary of Miss
Gertrude Spencer, a copyist in the o.
fee of Recorder Billany, and the salary
of Isaac r. Brown, clerk to County
Engineer Wilson. The tax collectors
appealed to the court several weeks
ago for a salary increase, claiming that
a new statute requires them to collect
road tax without compensation. The
collectors declared that they were los
ing sums varying between 500 and $500
yearly because of the statute and
thought the county should raise their
salaries in sums to cover the amounts.
Mr.. Townsend's opinion on the sub
iect follows:

Court. City.

CONGRESS WILL
WIPE OUT SURPLUS

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The Six
tieth Congress will have earned the
title of billion dollar Congress at
its first session before adjournment
is taken at the end of this week. 1t
is estimated that the total appropria-
tions will reach the enormous sum of
$1,026, 100000, which is said to be
the largest amount ever appropriated
at single session.
These appropriations are for tho
fiscal year which begins July /, 1908.
1t is too early to give anything like
an accurate estimate of the revenues
of the government during that period
of twelve months, but members OF
the appropriation committees thin;
they will read somewhere betwee
$3.50 100000 and 5000, 100000 This
would mean a deficit of between
$125, 100000 and $175, 000,000
Chairman Tawney of the House CON-
mittee warned the House last week
that the deficit would reach $780,.

.UNEARTH SWINDLE
by NOTE BROKERS

BOSTON, May DEMONSTRATION
now being made by the Boston au-
thorities in conjunction with District
Attorney Jerome of New York of the
mammoth note kiting operations of
the gang of New York and Boston
note brokers reveals the astounding
extent of the latest American swindle,
which is conservatively estimated at
$2,000,000 in Boston operations
alone.
The work of the gang compares
well with the famous Austin Bidwell
case, in which the Bank of England
was swindled out of 100000. 1t
was declared tonight that when the
present case is cleared up the amount
of the latest fraud will be found to
rival the English losses. The mode
of operation is similar and the sue
cess of the note brokers' combina-
ton compares well with that of the
English swindle.
Two prominent Bostonians whom
the authorities are tracing tonight
have fed. Another is closely watch.
ed, and evidence is being sought tina!
will Justify his arrest. Still Others
who are believed to be involved arc
being watched by the local authori.
ties
All of these note kiters are known
to have been allied with E. ]. Dun
ming, now in the Massachusetts State
prison for similar offenses.
| Arrests are expected at any mo-
ment here, and then, the authorities
declare, the roundup will be quickly
made both here and in New York.
