FIGHTING FOR NEW
IMPROVEMENT LAW
Real Estate Association
Would Give Property Own
ers Discretionary Power.
PLAN MUCH FAVORED
Proposed Measure Passed Last
Senate, but Died in the
House.
PLAN MUCH FAVORED

The Salt Lake Real Estate aseocia-
ton is organizing for its biennial fight
for the passage by the legislature Of
a new public improvement law where
by ii is aimed to obviate certain OBJ
stecles that are said to retard street
improvements under the present regu~
lations.
Two years ago the bill passed the
state senate, but died of neglect in
the lower house, being among the many
measures that were never reached by
that division Of the legislature at its
last session This year it is proposed
TO get the bill to the attention of the
lawmakers at an carly date and to
guard 1T through every step until it
arrives AZ the governors s ofnce, if that
be possible.
Hopeful of Success.
"We have sufficient support pledged
already to insure, practically, the bill g
passage - said c.. C. NesIen, secretary
OF the real estate association, yester-
day. 1.-THE provisions it contains are
In force in almost every city of CON,
sequence in America.
''Under the present law pertaining
TO public improvements the city pays
for the Improvement of street inter
sections and the property holders pay
their pro rata for the street proper.
In many instances the property holders
are anxious to have their street paved
but the Improvement is held up because
the city IS not IN position financially
to pay its part Of the expense. Pcti~
uons for half q million dollars worth
or improvements are now before the
city government awaiting the time
when the city will be in position to
undertake them.
Independent of City.
Under the proposed new law this
delay IS eliminated. Property holders
IN certain district can form an i'm
provement association that will stand
the expense entirely, intersections and
an. This ls not an extra expense to
the taxpayers because under the pres
ent plan they have to pay for all street
intersections in the city through the
medium Of the general tax fund. or
ten the taxpayers Of one district help
pay Tor the street intersections In other
parts OF the city for many years be-
for the benefit Of the old system finally
reaches their district. Tho proposed
new law would provide for a direct
distribution Of this expense among the
property holders who are most bene-
fted thereby
Mr. Neslen declared that the present
clty commissioners, many members of
the legislature and hundreds of promi-
pent business mon and property holders
have assured the real estate assocja.
ton Of their hearty support. The board
OF governors. of the Commercial club
uas approved the law as essential to
the proper development of city i'm

WATERPROOF TOGS.

There are all sorts OF waterproof goods
some perform the functions allotted 10
them we'll while others are only ram
proof in a light shower. II requires more
than waterproof material to resist the
gusts of rain which are blown against
one i'm an open car. The very force OF the
rain seems to drive it through the thick-
est of stuffs. The best protection In such
q storm is the good old-fashioned sou
wester which the fishermen wear When
the sea. is in an angry mood. The modern
interpretation OF the oilskin OF the hsh-
ermen is a fabric as light and as subtle
as silk. II comes in fascinating browns
and blues and purples, and is so light in
weight that it can easily be slipped over
the TOD coat. 1t is very comforting
,boueht to know that one OF these coats,
in it's accompanying envelope, is slowed
awav I'm the motor for an unexpected
storm. To accompany this coat, there Is
can which is almost replica OF tho
eenuine sou'wester. This may be fast-
ened so that the neck is well protected
and no streams OF water can run on the
cap down the back.

THE EXTRA ACCESSORIES.

Having ordered a truly comfortable cos
t,ne for the winter sports, the next
soarcb is for the accessories. There Is
,,tt,e comfort in kid gloves on a very cold

into a muff. Yet. how is one 10 JON

one Of the prcttiest novelties for the
dressing table brought out during the
holiday shopping season was the silver
case for the cake of solidihed perfume.
Cakes of this kind have been sold in imita-
ton leather cases for about 70 cents for
years. but this is the first time that they
have been transferred to silver. The dee
sign Of the case calls for certain piorc-
ings of the silver, through which the
sweet odor is waited. Many women OBJ
joct seriously to perfume, and yet HF" q
slight sachot odor throughout their hr-
Iongincs. and this is one of the easiest
and most satisfactory methods Of retain
ing a constant fragrance. When the cake

EASTERN PERFUMES.

one OF the new bouquet perfumes has
lust suggestion of Eastern spicincss TO
recommend it. Nothing as heavy o. per-
sistent as musk IS used only the mercst
hint Of sandalwood or an allied aroma,
which recalls the East and its mystery.
1t is one OF the recently imported scents
and scored a hit with the Christmas
shoppers. although the prices Of 81 and
s. % a bottle were not very low.
There is the same evasiye quality in
new French scent. This bouquet odor Is
from the laboratory Of a French per
fumer who has always managed to ap-
peal to the women seeking clinging
scent While this newest offering has not
the pungent persistency Of the extract
Of some others, yet it may be classed
among the lasting perfumes.
There is sull another bouquet odor
which, by the way. Is quite az delightful

violet odor is the predominant one I'm this

COlORINGS.

The colorings OF these woollen goods is
not the least OF their attractions. There
are the prettiest of browns, shading from
the rich tobacco tints through the choc-
olate tones to the soft tans and biscuit.
These light shades, by the way, are not
as perishable as might be imagined. for
they do not show the dust quickly. Both
the taupe brown and the taupe gray are
serviceable colors, and the new greens are
very soft and mosslike. There is no much
cheer in red coat on cold wintry day
that some women wisely choose this brill
liant shade TO lend the suggestion of
warmth.
The fiecked materials. or those SO close
~ striped that they give very much the
same effect, are more practical than the
plain goods as they show only TO slight
degree the dust and other signs Of travel.
The green tones fecked with white are
particularly pretty. and so are the browns
with a suggestion of cream or tan.

FULNESS IN THE SKIRT.

The next point Of interest is in getting
the requisite amount of fulness into the
skirt. The most skilled artist Of the
outer edge or the figure eight could not
accomplish her feats in the regulation
narrow skirt worn to-day. Pleats are one
of the most satisfactory methods of gam
ing fulness Sometimes they are inlet at
the side. near the bottom, as is shown IN
the sketch BY strapping them il is pos
sible TO let them out or hold them i'm. "a
the wearer may desire If a woman IN
siSts upon the plain effect in the front OF
her skirt, she may produce It by arranS-
ing the pleats in the back. -Four narrow
box pleats are generally sufficient, pro
vided that they are stitched to knee
depth and are pressed well. so that they
keep their shape and yet permit of per
feet freedom. 1t is often difficult TO re-
tain the smooth effect in the front unless
elastiCs are attached to each side Of the
front panel and stretched loosely across
the back. so high that the heel cannct
catch in them. and loose enough TO per-
nit ease of movement. Other skirts are
pleated all around in the narrow pleats,
and for the tall, slender girl this is one
of the most becoming styles.
New-York tribune., 1912-12-29

The real fun OF motoring in the winter
is rushing through the country in an open
car, with the wind bringing roses to the
cheeks. To thoroughly enjoy the sport
warm clothes are necessary. There is
nothing more pathetic than a woman
garbed for a limousine, who finds herself
in an open car on a cold day. She may
be wearing a fur coat, but IL it is coat
intended for a short walk in the city or
a closed taxicab, it will afford her little
protection against the full force Of the
wind as the car speeds along.

NORFOLK JACKETS.

has not entirely ousted the Norfolk and
the Macknaw. Both of these two Styles
are ideally comfortable, loose without
being bulky. jaunty and youthful ana
ADAPTABLE TO almost any material
though more appropriate in woollen
than in a velvet material. one style OF
Norfolk jacket shows the box pleats eN-

CLOTH AND FUR.

The cloth coats. with collar and cuffs
Of fur. are this year considered more chic
for the motor than those Of fur. They
are. at any rate. little newer, and the
thick, shaggy, soft woollen materials are
more alluring now than they have been

THE FUR MOTOR COAT.

When woman starts to select warm
coat for winter motoring her first thought
is Of fur II does not so much matter
just what kind Of fur, because nine times
out of ten all fur suggests warmth to her.
II is mainly the pocketbook that she re-
lies upon to guide her in her choice Of
fur. She knows that she does not want
as handsome a coat as she would for the
street, but this Is just about the extent OF
her knowledge. She does not consider for
q moment-unless she has been initiated
