New York, April 1.-THE corsetess
figure and the bifurcated skirt as feat
ures of woman's attire are decried by
Jacques Worth, who is sojourning
here. Jacques speaks with authority,
for he is a member of that famous
House of Worth which from its head
quarters in Paris dictates the fashions
Of the world and, Incidentally, those Of
America.
He declares that the narrow draped
skirt Will be the exclusive mode, that
the waist line will be moderate in its
height and that two tone suits, Bull
garian tints, and Bulgarian blouses
will be all the rage.
NJ. Worth expressed himself on wo-

The narrow, draped skirt viii be
the favOrite exclusive mode, preserv,
ing the long, slim lines Of the figure
and eliminating hips.
''The waist line will not he high IN

COM MISSION IN
STORMY SESSION
Special Meeting to Consider the
Plumbing Ordinance Proves
Warm Affair.

One of the stormiest sessions ever
held by the city commission was stag
ed last night, when a special meeting
was called TO consider the new plumb
ing ordinance. Master plumbers, Jour
neymen, representatives from the
Blake Specially company, Inspector
Joers, Architect Cerv.n, and the com
missioners entered into a wordy battle
which lasted over four hours. When
the white flag of truce was hofsted
matters were still undecided, but the
participants were too weary 10 con-
tinue the discussion.
The various plumbers had been in
vited TO attend the special session for
the purpose Of Offering suggestions
as to how the proposed ordinance
could be improved. The bone of con-
tention was the IS" trap VS.. the
drum trap. Other sections of the
ordinance were settled in an AMIGA
Bile manner.
The journeymen denounced the go
that such an arrangement permitted
the escape Of sewer gas in a manner
detrimental to health. They further
maintained that the IS" rap was a
relic of bygone days and improper for
use in a civilized community.
The master plumbers, then thor
oughly aroused, retaliated by saying
that the fight of the journeymen for
the drum trap could be traced TO the
fact that much more time was con,
surned in installing it than the 81
trap. Arguments were warm, both pre-
and con. When the meeting had ad,
journed, no action in regard to the
matter had been taken by the com,
mission. The ordinance was again
considered today, but up until press
time was still hanEag fire.

What is needed today is instruction
for the average housewife in the care
Of milk in the home. She needs to be
taught what a valuable food clean milk
is. She should be able TO tell why bot
tie milk is safer to use than milk dip
ped from a can. Not until one morn
ing when | saw my milkman riding leis-
urelv along drinking from the top Of
a large can, and perhaps turning what
vas left back into it, did. realize the
importance of having bottled milk at
once in my family.
The housewife should know why Ger
titled milk is the only safe milk TO use
unpasteurized and why all other milk
should be pasteurized. She should be
taught to know that bottled milk show
ing particles of dirt in the bottom Of
the bottle is an unsafe food to use. The
milk should be thrown away and the
milkman delivering such a product
should be dismissed.
The study of the milk problem by
the housewife is one of the important
points to be considered today in the
clean milk campaign, for milk has 10
equal in good food value.
