ICE HARVEST CONTINUES
IN SPITE OF SEVERE COLD

Notwithstanding the way-down-below
zero weather the ice harvest continues.
The Swift & Co. ice house is being rapidly
filled and the continued cold is slowly in
creasing the thickness and augmenting
the harvest. No delay has been occa-
stoned by the cold, go men having showed
up for work yesterday. None have shirged,
using the weather as an excuse. If the
cold continues the ice harvest will be one
of the largest known, condition not
unwelcome to the consumers, who see in
a plentiful supply a decrease in price. r-

!. GIRLS WEAR SOCKS
Capital Stores Confirm New Fad
of Fair sex-Practice Is
Prevalent.
WARN WEATHER THE REASON

Local department stores and forgery
small sized mems silk hose at this time
Of the season. Proprietors and clerks
add that most purchasers Of this CON-
modify are not dandies. who, perchance.
boast of small feet and high iusteps
but-girls and young women.
The fad of wearing mems silk hose
recently has been started by society
girls at some of the summer re-
sorts and indications point to the
adoption Of the fad by some Of the fair
ones Of Washington.
Admits Girls Wear Socks.
In speaking Of the innovation. one OF
the salesgirls at well-known local de-
partment store said:
Just how prevalent the practice has
become do not know. but / do know
that girls are eagerly welcoming the
change. They find socks much more
comfortable than long stockings in the
warm weather and I admit that am
wearing them myself.
ITO my mind the styles Of this sum-
mer are far In advance OF those Of for
mer years, SO far as comfort and ap-
pearance are concerned, and I do not
understand why women who earn their
livfngs in stores and Offices should not
be permitted to dress in such a way
that they may be cool and comfortable.
Women intend to be comfortable.
whether few people become shocked
or not. This summer girls are wearing
mems half hose TO a great extent. I am
In position to know, for I work in a
store and at a counte, where half hose
are sold. Many women have bought
them OF me in the last few weeks and
have admitted to me that they buy them
FOR their own use. l suppose that fact
would cause great deal OF worriment
among the people who set out to censor
styles. provided It was generally known.
Yet why should any one care? have
been converted to their use and find
them extremely comfortable. predict
that In short time they Will come into
general use
Men Don't Like II.
That the beaux OF this city are not
taking kindly to the fad is shown In an
interview with one OF them. He SAID
Il wish to say 1t is absolutely unfair to
blame the men for the present fashion.
Classy appearance does not show
good taste but rather a lack of conf
dence on the gin part in her own per-
sonal charms. The quiet, observing
youth will always idolize and worship
the meek-sppearing girl, but will not
hold the opinion OF her that the IN
different admirer holds OF his CLASSY
friend"
A well-known bachelor said: 1T seems
to be the general idea that girls dress
In the way they do because OF the men.
Now this Is very wrong. and the women
who say so are, in my mind, just trying
to find some excuse for the foolishness
or their own sex. and their plan IL TO
lay II to the men.
1T has been said that the girls dress
as they do in order to get q husband
Now, think i know as much about men
as any women in the country, ana al
though the fellows that hang around the
street corners may like to fiirt with these
fashion plates, as they go by. they laugh
at them and are really making fun Of
them all the time"

ICE DEALERS FINED.
Sell Under-weight Ice, and in Hot
Weather, Too.


The District Sealer of Weights and
Measurers is determined to break up the
cruel pratice INDUCED In by certain Ice
dealers OF giving short-weight ice. Two
cases have been found by Assistant Seal
er OF Weights and Measures Howes,
where under-weight Ice was sold. Both
dealers forfeited SO in Police Court yes
terday.
The de{endents were William E. ownes
and Joseph wicks. According TO the
District inspectors, people often get ice
ten pounds under the weight for which
they pay.
The citizen looks at the thermometer.
and puts the case to himself thus:
"Supposin' bought a diamond ten
carats shy Of the weight for which / paid,
would i feet hurt?"
Then he looks at his ice and feels that
the iniquity OF his ice dealer is great.
