down the middle from the forehead to
the neck and braid it at each side over
the ears, with two fat plaques in imita-
ton of the Dutch style
The fancy for wool embroidery is in
creasing to such an extent that 1t is in
danger of becoming common. The new

shown enriched with semi-precious
jewelry and imitation pearls.

U. S. IN CLASH WITH
SANITARY DISTRICT
Gen. Bixby Wants Chicago
to Reduce Intake of
Water From Lake.

Washington, Jan IA serious
clash between the sanitary district of
Chicago and the war department re-
garding the diversion of water from
Lake Michigan was indicated today by
the attitude of General w. H. Bixby.
chief Of engineers, when Isham RAN
do1ph. George NJ wisner and John G..
Williams of Chicago called on him to
enlist the approval of the war depart
ment in plans to improve the drainage
of the city.
Mr.. williams is attorney for the sani-
tary district and Randolph and svisner
are engineers in charge General Blk
by having addressed a letter to sena-
tors of the middle western states, say
ing that he considered further diversion
of water from Lake Michigan would
result in lowering the level to a point
where it would affect navigation. the
delegation came to Washington in
alarm.
Under permit from the war depart
ment the city OF Chicago now takes
5000 cubic feet of water per second
from Lake Michigan for drainage pur-
poses. General Bixby said today that
he thought the flow should be cut down
to 1000 feet. When it was pointed out
to him that 1000 feet would not be
enough to dispose of the city's sewage
General Bixby recommended that Chi
cago install plant to incinerate its
sewage, proposition calling for the
outlay of about S45,o0e.e00.
The visiting officials OF the sanitary
district thereupon became excited. They
told General Bixby that even with ar
| incarceration plant the fluid sewage
would have to be carried off, and 1000
feet a. second would not be sufficient
water for the purpose. The city would
be in danger of an epidemic of disease
! in such a case" they told General Blk
