A FrOck with Surplice Closing Waist
and Yoked Skirt Developed in Serge.


and Yoked Skirt Developed in Serge
A great deal of braiding is beins
used on coats and suits. No fancy
braiding especially. but edges are be-
ing finished with braid, or bound with
new sort of satin braid which comes
in all widths. Frogs, a trimming also
an offspring of the rage for things
military, are made from braid. Even
in the new waists we see the edges
bound with braid, chiffon or silk,
alike. Waists of net are braided with
fine suHtache and a very effective
trimming it is.
Suit coats this season are, as a rule,
in the vicinity of rs inches in length.
The skirts are plain at the top and
flaring out to an eight-yard hem, six
inches from the floor. In many of these
skirts there is an underskirt of not
such huge measure.
This naturally shows the crinoline
tendency in our clothes. In the early
part Of the last century, when these
wide skirts were worn, there were
hoops ceneath to keep them standin..
out and to show their entire width.
Imagine a woman getting into "A
Twentieth Century street car or a
Fifth avenue bus with hoop skirt
to-day!
Still, with skirts widening rapidly
there is no telling quite what to ex-
pect, for when Dame Fashion gets to
moving she does not always stop at
mere consistency.
The latest skirts are faced up with
hair cloth for the depth Of from twelve |
to fourteen inches to give the proper
stiffness. And one charming gown, |

III NEW MEMBERS
JOIN COMMERCIAL
CLUB IN CANVASS
Membership Chairman Nus
baum Pleased With Result
of Campaign and 81, 100 In
crease in Revenue.

AS the result of the concerted eff
forts of 100 members of the Commerc-
ial club, Ill Richmond men yesterday
became affiliated with the organiza-
ton, making the total membership 10
and increasing the annual revenue
$1,1lO.
Lee B. Nusbaum, chairman of the
membership committee. expressed his
satisfaction of the results but believes
poor business and the great number of
men who are out of the city now, is
all that prevented the club from Sc
curing twice that number.
The Reds were unable to gain on
their competitor the Blues, the team
under G. o. Ballinger, winning the
contest by nine members. The Reds
under Fred kennedy brought in fifty
one new members at six o'clock last
night while the Blues had total of
sixty to their credit.
There is some talk of discarding the
plans for banquet which was to have
been served the winners by the losers,
and substituting some other reward.
Some plan will be made soon. In case
the banquet is held, it will be within
ten days
The campaign will have lasting
result, is the opinion of Lee B. Nus
baum and Charles Jordan. Mr. Jordan
is confident thirty-nine addition men,
bers will be added in the next few
weeks as a result of the work of the
committeeman. thus bringing the total
up to $50
If this is accomplished the club will
have made its membership $50 and in
creased its income $500 a year to
$500. IT is believed this would place
the club alone for commercial or
CARNATIONS in cities of the size Of
Richmond This will be learned later
from the national Chamber of Com
merce with which the club is affiliated.
r. Nusbaum in speaking of the
campaign, mentioned the growth of
the organization in the past six or
eight wears, said:
The Commercial club was small
and struggling and apparently did not
amount to much The city officials
and many business men were rather
inclined to laugh at the efforts of the
members. But through square deal
ing. with personalities absolutely en-
cluded, the club stands at what it is
now"

keep up its investigation of the popu-

of operating in conjunction with some

by Mrs. Fl. l.. Monarch, and which is
now in full progress. The plan is in

people of the city who will extend the
work to much larger scale next year
There are between forty and forty
five lots under cultivation as garden
plots. Many more We're offered by
willing citizens, but because of the
lateness and the drought, they could
not be accepted this year.
A report was submitted to day by
Mrs. Monarch. Mrs. Monarch names

gardeners are children of poor fam
lilies. but a number are thrifty school
children who do not wish to waste

been received.
Her face lighted up with JOY when
Miss Benner told of the youthful
travellers safe arrival in Chicago. The

Watch for Picture.
NeighbOrs, accustomed to seeing the
little chap playing about with their
children were almost as anxious for
word from him as his mother and the
visiting nurse. Hearing that a pic
ture had been taken for the Palladium,
they began looking for their papers
long before time for the carrier boy to
arrive.
That Walter left Chicago at 10
o'clock Thursday evening is the sub
stance Of a postal card received from
the district passenger agent of the

that the $4,000 increase the city gov

Should the cOmpany's assessment
be fixed a $3.50, 900 the city's revenue,
through the addition tax paid by the
company, will be increased $2,oS5, but
at that its expenses for 1915 will be
Increased $3.415, a sum apparently in
proportions as viewed by Mayor Rob

Mayor Robbins has flatly declared
that this increased item of expense
will not be cared for by an increase in
the city tax rate, which is now $1l0

BOARD TO INCREASE
TAX ASSESSMENTS
IN EIGHT TOWNSHIPS
Reviewers Act When New
System of Assessing Shows
Alarming Decrease in Val
uation All Over County.

Sweeping increases ranging from
ten to twenty-five per cent will be
made on all personal property assess
ments except corporations and banks
in eight of the townships of the coun-
ty. following a hearing set for 1:30
o'clock Monday afternoon OF the as
SCISSORS of those townships, before the
board of review.
This important announcement was
made today in the board meeting.
Most Of yesterdays session of the
board was spcnt in coming to this de-
ciSiOn and fixing the probable amount
of increases to be made in each town
ship. Auditor Bowman made a trip
to Indianap polls Thursday when he ao-
peared before the state board of tax
commissioners and presented Wayne
cOunty's case.
The alarming decreases in the as
sessments resulted from the new
method which was used this spring for
the first time in this county. Asses
SOrS We're instructed to assess all per-
sonal property at its full cash value
and deduct twenty-five per cent. In
former years the assessor assessed
property at what he could and it re-
NAMED at that figure unless altered
for some good reason by the board of
reviews.
Expect Attacks.
The announcement will undoubtedly
create sentiment in the county that
Will result in the board of review be-
ing stormed with disapproval. The
members expect to be the objects of
general attacks from tax payers in the
eight townships to be affected.
The hearing of the assessors will be
the first one on record in the county
What the assessors say to the board
members may or may not have any
effect on the lists and increases made
up yesterday by the board. but the
board will demand certain information
before ruling finally on the changes
The townships and the amount of
increase contemplated will not be
made public until Monday afternoon
when the assessors are brought be-
fore the board.
The assessors were instructed to act
under the new system of assessing at
tax meeting held last February in
the court house when the three men,
bers OF the state tax commission were
the speakers. This plan was turned
down in 1913 but was used in many
other counties Of the state. The pur-
pose OF the system was to increase the
amount of assessments and it's result
is said to have been a decrease in the
county of between S35O.OOO and
100000.
Injustice to Few
Inc result of increases under this
system will mean that an injustice will
tall on small per cent of the tax
payers. The board does not have
power to discriminate in the town
ships and select the tax payers who
listed their property at its true cash

Only fifty-twO bodies including those

the fierceness of the flames fears were
expressed that the bodies of the vic

The coroner's inquest into the cause
of the disaster opened at ten O'Clock

dition of many of the forty-One miners
rescued alive only a few could be
questioned
All night long and today until the

oxygen helmets silently disappeared
into the earth to reappear later with
mangled and burned forms wrapped

the wash house of the mine where a
temporary morgue had been fitted up.
There the bodies We're prepared for
burial and laid out in long rows.
while along the aisles women WANDER

familiar features. Many of the bodies
were bruised and torn showing that
death had resulted directly from the

ceived here today from Winnipeg and
other cities. AS fast as tn" bodies
could be identified they were removed
to the home of their families.
