DEMOCRATS WILL
BORROW MONEY
Council Faces Deficit and will
Apply to Banks for Tenn
pOrary Loans

Chairman James Kane, of the finance
committee of City Council, last night
Introduced an ordinance before that
body for authority to borrow such sums
from banks or oher sources to meet
deficiencies in various appropriation ac-
counts. The amounts are left in bank.
The measure sets out that the deficit
was caused by bills left unpaid by a
previous Council and the failure to
properly provide for the present year
During the reading Of the ordinance
William J.. White, former chairman of
the Council finance committee, who
happened TO be present at the meeting.
smiled at the charges made and some
Of the Democratic Councilmen acted as
though the measure was a huge joke
on the former finance chairman.
The ordinance will probably receive
it's final hearing at the next meeting.

All of those ladies who believe that
the dog days are so called because
dogs are most likely during them to
contract hydrophobia and bite the
hand that feeds them are hereby in
formed that such is not the case.
This information may be useful in
reassuring those persons who become
panicky when a painting dog appears
on the street within a block of them.
The dog days are that part of the
year about the time of the heliacal
rising of the dog star. Various dates
from July 3 to August Is have been
assigned for the first dog days, and
various durations from 80 to 81 days.
Perhaps they are now most usually
reckoned from July to August IL,
inclusive. So, instead of just begin
ming, they are nearly at an end, and
the dogs have behaved very amiably
all things considered.
AS a matter of fact, the dog DAYS
more grievOusly affect people than
four-footed animals; it is people who
snap at their friends during the dog
days and who should be gagged and
forced to wear a license to show
that they are fitted to roam abroad
when the thermometer is above the
nineties.

POLICE BOARD PUTS BAN
ON THE FIGHT PICTURES

The Police Commission yesterday
afternoon at its weekly meeting de-
cided not to allow the Johnson-Jef-
fries fight pictures to be shown in
this city and instructed Chief of Po-
lice Black to act accordingly.
The following resolution was
adopted;
Whereas, In the opinion of this
board a display of the pictures of the

trimental to good order and morals,
it is therefore
Resolved, That the Chief of Po-
lice is hereby directed to prevent any
public exhibition of said pictures
within the limits of the City of VIII
mington."
Before the resolution was adopted
several communications bearing on
the matter we're read and the commits
sioners heard several pastors of
churches who were present.
A letter from Lewis ]. Berger, OF
New York City, sent to the mayor,
and referred to the Police Commits
sion, asking whether the fight pic
lures would be allowed here was read
There was also a letter from the
Monthly Meeting of Friends stating
that the Organization of Friends OPP
posed the showing not only Of these
pictures, but others detrimental "a
good order and morals.
The ministers present were the
Rev. c. T. Wyatt, the Rev Kinsey J.
Hammond, and the Rev. George c.
Williams. George B. Miller also was
present.
Nobody attended the meeting in de-
/ Tense of the pictures and after hear
ing those present, Commissioner
Jones presented the resolution which
was adopted, both he and Mr.. Stay
ton voting for the measure Presi-
dent Clarkson was absent and Mr.
Jones presided.
Mr.. Wyatt said he was present C
protest against the showing of the
fight pictures. He contended tina
the pictures would dull the mora
sensibility of those who witnessed
their production. He said that Il wa
the general opinion OF the press tina
the pictures had a brutaiizing an
damaging effect upon the people an
he added that Cardinal Gibbons ha
expressed himself as strongly agains
the pictures. He also thought ths
the exhibition of the pictures her
might stimulate race prejudice.
Mr.. Wyatt said that even thong
Philadelphia allowed the pictures {
show there we didn't want to follo'
that city unless it gains a more en-
viable reputation than 1t has.
The Rev, Mr.. Hammond and tn
Rev. Mr.. Williams together with Nj
Miller spoke in opposition to the pic
lures, all of them voicing the sam
sentiments as expressed by Mr.. Wyatt
Mr.. Miller added that gambling re
suited from prize fighting and though
that IL was time for all churches {

FASHION AND FADS
BY Mrs. Maud E. cillsy.

There is a tendency at present to
use either very light or very heavy
laces. with a considerable preference
for those of the Russian and Armen-
ian or Oritnal handmade varieties.
While much neckwear is show
which includes Valenciennes and
Cluny, it is noticeable that in high
class lines, Irish and other crochet
effect laces are almost exclusively
used.
A characteristic feature of some of
the lingerie gowns is the touch of
black velvet shown i'm the girdle or
run through the eyelet of the en-
broidery with which many of these
frocks are trimmed.
Ruffies of plating of net, lawn,
batste and other sheer material
stitched 10 a banding or insertion
may be bought by the sard. These
ere used for cuffs or collars or for
ills for the shirtwaist.

Hats bizarre in shape, are made
more so by the rakish pose they are
made to assume. Tilted over one eye

are admittedly chic.
