Tells Alderman Curran He
Will Summon Members for

Mayor Gaynor to-day changed his
mind about calling a special meeting OF

Investigation o, the police. Alderman
Curran. who submitted a petition con.
tanning the signatures OF sixteen men,

office to-day. He had declared that
he would go to court IL necessary to

the call being mandatory.
The Mayor refused to see Curran, but
sent out word that he would issue the
call to-day
Originally It was intended by Curran
and his associates to sue out pereYnp-
tory writ OF mandamus compelling i'm
med ate action by the Mayor. The suing
for 'nandamus writ. however, was de-
cided at the last moment to be mad
visable because Of the probable raising
of the point In tho Mayors behalf that
such writ cannot obtain in Wow of the
constitutional right OF the executive

from any such action on the part of the
legislative end OF suoh administra ton.

BEST WAY TO MAKE NEAT HEM
Hint Worth Remembering When One
is Working on Skirt or Coat
of Thick Cloth.

1t is often difficult to make neat

of very thick cloth, for unless 1t can
be pressed very fiat with heavy iron.
and sometimes even then. there will
be an unsightly hump or bulge at the
point where the material is turned in
at the top of the hem and stitched
A good plan to follow when using
thick material for garment is to turn
up the hem perfectly fiat, without
turning in the top edge in the usual
way; then baste a piece of tape the
color of the material, or If the color
cannot be matched, use black on dark
material and white on light material
over the raw edge of the hem and
stitch it in place on both the upper
and lower edges.
BY basting the tape in place the
stitching can be done on the right
side of the material, using the basting
thread as a guide.

KNITTED SUITS ALWAYS GOOD
Probably the Most Practical and Com
Portable Garment That 4 Child
Can Wear.

There Is slight tendency in the d.
rection of overdressing children just
now. Every now and then this ten
dency arises. only to be annihilated
by the fact that there are few women
SO silly that they will overdress their
children. whatever they may do them
selves.
Real torture may be inflicted on a
sensitive child by dressing her In out
of date and clumsy garments when all
her school fellows are daintily clothed.
But what are wanted are not up-to-
date things. but simple and pretty
things.
The rise of the knitted coat for
adults has led directly to the use of
knitted suits for children. They are
very comfortable, very warm, and as
durable as anything can be that is sub
mitted to the extreme chances of
child's day. For very small boys lit
tie knickers and Jerseys of knitted
wool are the most practical of gar
ments. especially for fat little boys.
