Mr.. iWhitehouse did not mention the
resolution introduced Friday night by
Supervisor Arnold, which passed the
board, ordering the engineer to stop

today that the engineer acted without

of supervisors in the Kuhio driveway

Most Important Point OF

Suede and kid are employed In fash
.iuning the latest hats. Both come IN
black, white and the fashionable col.

or quite large. Rarely does one see
medfum-sized chapeaux, but either
pill-box affair pulled down till the eye
brows are just visible and all the back
hair in full view. or large cannotier
set at a rakish angle. and it is sur
prising how much individuality can be
displayed in the manner in which
these hats are placed on the tightly
arranged coitfures of the day. And,
speaking about coiffures, the day has
passed when. If one had sudden in
yttation, one could without further
thought pull the small hat over the
rot too carefully arranged locks and
aeave a sigh of contentment that at
least one did as others did. But all
that is changed, for one must look to
ones back hair. Most becomingly

As far as one can Judge from the

There are styles. however, that are
not in the running any longer, wide
as the choice remains. The skirt
that is narrow across the back at
the knees, and pulled up and forward
to the front with a. sash from hem
to knees, is among the things that are
reckoned as dead.
The long coat is another fashion
with taboo. unless it serves as an
overcoat, and the wide elbow sleeves
with lowered armhole should be
abandoned by those who still cling
to it. Syis& s39stt \ ,6sa ,.s :.

undertook to. protect the outlying but
important province of Bukowina'
which is closed in by Roumania, Hun

posed to Russian invasion more than
any other part of sAustria-Hungary.
He had nobody to help him but his
gendarmes, and the situation was such
at the time that. no re-enforcements
could be spared to him. In a won
'derfully short time he organized a
small army, composed Of frontier peo-
pie and reserves, major. of gen.
darmes who on his own responsibility
took command and single-handed pre-
vented the Russians from seriously at

Fischer was speaking the telephone
bell rang. One of, his officers asked
for instructions, described the position
of the Russians and begged to know
what he was to do with his men. The
message came from a remote part OF
the mountainous country. The gen.
erals answer, after q moments renec.

village, along the edge Of the WOOD,
close to the we'll that stands between
two tall pines. There you can best
watch the two roads by which the
Russians can approach you" -, Z. ~: :.
This order, given without the aid OF
map or plan, is the explanation OF F1s-
cher's remarkable success. He
knows every road and every lane, ev'

this knowledge enables him to do In
