methods being carried out by the city engineer, and the quality of the maps insure the city of model block map system"
 The report thoroughly vindicated the action of the mayor in urging that the work be done in the office of the city engineer.
 How about these hospital cases? ?" asked President Phelan when Presi- dent Patrick Kane of the Charities Department came before the board. "Who sends the patients to the hos pital when the charge is made against the city?'' he continued.
 '"The city phys -cians," replied Judge Kane.
 Are they not in the habit of calling them all pauper cases,' asked MT. Phelan.
 Judge Kane said he did not believe so and explained that each case was investigated by the departments su- perintendent and investigator.
 MT Vincent sad: "I have been fol- lowing up the cost of lighting in each department. I want to find if all get
 the same discounts. What discount do you get?''
 'We have our own plant at Lake
 view home,'' replied Judge Kane. When President G. w. Osborn of the Board of Health, took the chair, S. E. Vincent
 said to his colleagues: You will n0- tice on the acquisitions of the Health Board that there s an increase of $250 asked for medical inspection in the schools and an additional $750 for a nurse to aid in the inspection, I have asked the health authorities to come here and explain. As a member of the subcommittee on health I want
 the whole board to hear their story. From my viewpoint it is a question of opening up a line of work to which there will be no end. It is for a good cause, that of the health of children, but whether it is going to be wise to take up the matter in this way l would desire to have all of the other members of the board take part in
 deciding. The board of health has been carrying on this work for a year. We might be able to judge it better if there been record kept. The doc tor examines the teeth of the children.
 What is the use of inspecting the teeth unless we also see to it that the teeth are put in condition. If there is sick ness or defects, we should follow up
 the work and see that cures are per- fected.
 MT. Phelan wanted to know if the common school sicknesses of few years ago are just as prevalent. Dr. Osborn said, "I believe there are less, but I have no statistics to prove it at this time. I know that Dr. Sherman who makes the inspec- tions of the schools has found many
 cases of adenoids. cases of tons litis, l and of defective sight, Do you consider the work educa- tional,' asked MT. Phelan "Yes," replied Dr. Osborne. 'Tt ed- | ucates people in the care of chill dren."

CITY RUN ITS OWN
 LIGHT PLANT?

Dissatisfaction over the business relations between the city and the United Illuminating Company in the Board of Apportionment today brought from Zalmon Goodsell. a member of the Board, the suggestion that it might be profitable for the city to run it's own electric light plant and do its own lighting. It had ap- peared that the fire department is getting 30 per cent. discount on it's bills, while other departments get less. City Auditor Heating thought that in the matter of discounts the city should be reated as one big GUS toner.

Does anyone hear a quiet
chuckle from the direction of the
Eastern league?
Cause 1t is easy to imagine
that George Stallings, one time
manager of the New York Ameri-
can league club, ousted by Presi-
dent Ban Johnson and Owner
Frank Farrell is enjoying a bit of
laugh over the panning the team
is now getting.
Poor Hal Chase, retiring and
sensitive, is catching 1t right and
left for the poor showing the team
is making. He is realizing in full
the position occupied by his pre-
decessor and by every other man
ager of a team that fails to get
out in front and remain there

except in st. Louis and Washing
ton, whose citizens never expect
any more than they get.
1t will be recalled that Frank
Farrell, backed up by Ban John
son, dismissed Stallings last fall
when the New York team was up
in the race and travelling at an
even, winning clip. 1t was the
opinion of many that Johnson
would have Stallings out of the
American league at almost any
cost, because he did not and does
not like him.
Hal Chase succeeded Stallings
as manager and the influence that
had been working for his ad-
vancement was satisfied. Now
this same clique is bowling like a
lot of Dervishes over the team s
showing.

Bassey is sixth and Fisher seventh

II was a comedy of errors with
the Tigers and Indians in the cast
and like all legitimate comedy
ended happily with the heroes on
top and the villains discounted.
There were many mishaps on
both sides and the erratic action
of Stage Director Mccarthy kept
the audience in suspense all the
time. So disconcerting were his
orders that Mike Lynch forgot his
lines completely and got into the
middle of the stage in the fourth
act and simply beloved to make a
noise for which he was thrown out
of the cast entirely and his part
was given to Mr.. Abbott. who was
not fitted for it at all as he had
a game ankle and limped badly.
Everything went smoothly In
the Introductory acts until the
third when the villains made sew
eral missteps and the heroes got
three curtain calls to home plate.
The Villains Scored.
In the fourth the heroes began
getting into trouble. Tauscher
thought he was doing a relay race
against Melchoir and Cooney and
when he got near the tape. he
pumped Cooney, in the back In
disgust and the villains scored
one.
The heroes as is usual In COM
edy got into more and more trou-
bile as the plot unraveled until In
the ninth act Mr.. Morse, having
a real cinch on the star villain,
Kippert, with the latter penned in
between second and third and no
escape, finally let him get away
and Kip got the applause at the
plate.
Then there were two acts of
suspense until finally like a true
hero Morse made a hit, very
palpable hit. in fact clear to left
fence, and it was all over for Ed
die Burns was already in line for
good things and promptly took
advantage of the situation to COM
pletely annihilate the enemy.
Score to 5.

Associate Editor yachting"
Yachting in the United States is
undergoing transitional phase
and the outcome is impossible to
forecast.
Development of the internal
combustion engine has added tens
of thousands to the ranks of
yachtsmen; motor boats have at
tanned a popularity never. ap-
preached by wind driven craft.
Many former advocates of wind
jamming" are found in cock-pits
of gasoline boats.
In eastern waters the motor
boat is gaining sensibiy. The
greatest yachting even, this sea-
son will be the race for the Brit
ish international trophy between
gasoline flyers of Great Britain
and the United States.
AS showing the progress in
motor racers, the pick of the chal-
lengers, Maple Leaf. has made
over 55 land miles an hour over a
mile course and the principal
American defender, Dixie Nv. has
registered Sc land miles an hour.
The Motor Boat Club of
America and the American Power
Boat association have grown in
influence until they practically
dominate the yachting situation.
That motor boats may be had
for almost any price and q gaso-
line engine installed In any hull
has made yachtsmen OF thousands
who never thought OF going on
the water. jy. 49,.
At present careful estimates
place tn number of power craft
In this country at 400,O0O-an
extraordinary showing and in
dicative of the progress since
1905.
The tendency is to travel fast
and steadily, not to wait for IA
foring winds or stop for Gains:
yachting today is merely in line
with the times.

Moleskin is so soft and pliable that it
may be draped ais readily as velvet
and it is usually made up IN mantle
rather than coat style with gracefully
draped sleeves and other Oriental fea-
lures. A handsome moleskin wrap

Another wrap, displayed in Fifth
Avenue furrier's window this week, is
in perfectly plain, mantle style and
to accompany 1t there are a long, soft
moleskin scarf lined with gray silk
and a huge fiat muff that might be a
second scarf doubled over and softly
lined. Both scarf and mufr are
trimmed with long chenille fringe in

fining the figure too plainly it gives an
effect of slenderness and grace that Is
truly marvellous, considering that it is
made of fur and lined with heavy bro
caded satin.
Wraps Fasten Gracefully Toward One
Side
Fur coats are really too heavy to
wear on the street when walking and
these garments are usually reserved
for automobile wear or for use over
light indoor frocks in carriage or
limousine. On very cold days the fur
coat is seen on the street over little
frocks of cashmere or mohair, but on
the bright, clear days of which New
York sees so many-when the mer-
curry hovers between forty and fifty,
my lady prefers a smart coat and skirt
suit with a handsome fur neckpiece
and muff to the more cumbersome fur
wrap.
The fur coats this season are most
graceful affairs, built on rather mar
row lines, but roomy enough at the
shoulders to be very comfortable over
wool frocks. The models for day wear
have coat sleeves finished with wide
cuffs, and huge shawl collars of the
fur or of some contrasting pelt- The
very smartest Partisan coats are Sc
verely plain in effect, the richness Of
the fur being considered distinction
enough without an added trimming of
contrasting pelt. Sometimes a striped
border trimming is contrived by ar
ranging strips of the fur in opposite
directions, as in one of today's photo
graphs which shows Drecon coat
of genuine seal in mantle style with a
deep shawl collar, cuffs and border
trimming of the seal stripping just de-
scribed. The fastening is at the left
side, below the waist, two large but
tons covered with the sealskin being
fastened under an ornament of brown
silk cord. The richness of this beau
tiful coat is apparent at glance
and no added garniture of skunk,
opossum or other pelt could add to
the distinction and beauty of the gar
ment as it is, in its simple. perfect
good taste.
Fringe a Feature of New Fur
Wraps.
In striking contrast to this Oeauti-
full Drecou coat is another sealskin
model This coat is far more coquet-
fish and pretentious in style than the
simple Drecou wrap, but it lacks the
dignity and exquisite distinction of
the Paris-made garment The lines
are in accordance with fashions man

On these slips of paper are inscribed
