port OF Col. zinn's report. upon "ths
subject OF Improvement of harbor ia
ciiities for Chicago and adjacent ter
ritory," this committee submits that
owing TO the geographical location of
the Calumet region. there are but few
localities in the United States whore
so great an opportunity for the devel-
opment OF shipping facilities exists as
in the Calumet region. Few localities
in the United States have a greater
mileage of railroads or a greater num-
Der of railroads than this locality, and
all of the railroads which enter Chi
cage. even from the. west. north and
south, directly connected with this
region by three belt lines, while all
railroads which enter Chicago from the
east and southeast, pass Immediately
through the Calumet region. 1t only
remains then to complete and main
tain the water shipping facilities
which this region has. to make it the
ideal commercial community Col.
zinns report is based upon the cor
| rect principle. in that il outlines a plan
! not based upon the mere needs of the
immediate present, but IL the recon-
| mendations are carried out. IL will not
only take care of the immediate pres
ent but the future for all time TO come
| by reason of the adaptabiity OF the
plan for unlimited development, as the
population and business ef the region
Increases.
| Therefore. this committee has the
| honor to submit this argument in sup
port of the report of Col. zinn relative
to the Improvement of harbor facili-
ties for Chicago and adjacent terri
tory and request your honorable
| board to in all things approve said re-
port in SO far. at least as the same re-
lates to the Calumet region.

to the fullest development possible OF
both of these portions. In order to
make the navigable portion available

along the stream itself as many of the

SELECTING FALL HATS.
Wise Buyers Choose Early, Before the Best of the Models Have Been Tak- en-A Hint to the Hesitating.

Coming social affairs will demand dressy hats; and with that thought in mind, shoppers were interested dur ing Thursday in looking over the mod els of fancy and American designing which were offered at the openings.
 Noticeably elegant was Watteau in white matters plush, its crown encir- cled with the fashionable white picot ribbon, facing of black velvet, soft edge of black maline, white plume under the brim and effective rose ornament.
 A shaded green model in miroir vel vet had slashed brim maced with black, tailored bow in black moire and for finish perky silk and jetted standing ornament.
 One boat-shaped hat which won at- tention was of black velvet, with drape and wings of rich cerise taffeta-
 Essentially smart was a Gage hat in the much liked irregular navy and white plaid, with buckle effect of white picot ribbon.
 Many exclamations of admiration were evoked at sight of a cute auto hat of violet silk with fan-shaped violet satin ribbon bow covering the front, and finish of a silver buckle.
 New and fascinating designs are be- ing brought from the workrooms daily. Every tint of the modish dress fab rics can be perfectly matched in hat shapes and trimmings.
 Now is the time to select fall head wear, before the models have become common.
 Where the newest, the smartest. the most becoming offerings are to be found, will be learned by attention to the advice of The Bulletins adver- tisers today!

Bound for the North Stonington grange fair, David Smith and his wife of West Mystic, Miss Kate Copp and Miss Emily Copp of Groton had a narrow escape from instant death when the surrey in which they were driving was struck by a trolley car Thursday noon. The four occupants of the carriage were thrown out in a heap and all received more or less se- rious injuries. Miss Emily Copp, daughter of Belton A. Copp of Groton, was the most seriously injured and was unconscious several hours follow ing the accident. Miss Kate Copp. her aunt. had one arm fractured above the elbow, a dislocated shoulder, and was severely bruised about the body. MT. Smith, who was driving, suffered a broken nose, cuts on his face, and extensive bruises. Mrs. Smiths shoul- der was injured when she struck the ground and her bruises, too, were ex tensive. The carriage was demolished but the horse was not hurt.
 Trees Interrupted the View.
 The collision occurred at Avery's Crossing at 12 o'clock. The trolley express car of the Norwich & Vest erly Traction company, southbound, in CHiSe Ol MOLOTuldn GSOISO MuEpHy and Conductor Joseph Welles, was coming down the track at good speed and at the same time MT. Smith was driving down the Norwich highway toward the trolley road. Trees cut off the view of the trolley tracks, Mir. Smith said, Thursday afternoon. aft CT the accident, and he did not see the car until almost on the crossing. Then a desperate effort was made to spur the horse on and get over in safety.

Aunt Sally's Advice
 to Beauty-Seekers

C. NJ. P: The neck should receive similar attention to that given the complexion, so color and texture of skin will be the same. A yellow neck and a white face give a discordant effect. I advise using for both neck and complexion, the treatment recom- mended to Monica"
 F. NJ: First, stop scowling, if you would get rid of the lines between the eyes. The best application for such lines. and all wrinkles, is a solu- ton of powdered saxolite. 1 ounce, dis solved in witch hazel, 1-2 pint. Bathe the face in this daily until entirely re-. lieyed.
 Monica: You hardly need such a list of cosmetics as you mention. Or dinary merconzed wax will help you more than any or all of them. It will gradually absorb the withered, dis celored complexion and you will soon have a new, youthful and healthy locking skin. You needn't get more than an ounce of the wax, which will cost you little at any druggists. Ap- ply nightly, like cold cream, washing 1t off mornlngs.-Woman's Realm.
