 FEVERISH CHILD
If little stomach is sour, liver torpid or bowels
 clogged.

Mothers can rest easy after glv- ing California Syrup of Figs be- cause in a few hours all the clog ged-up waste sour bile and fer menting food gently moves out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. Children sim ply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, and they become tightly packed, liver gets sluggish and stomach disordered.
 When cross, feverish, restless, see if tongue is coated, then give this delicious fruit laxative" Children love it, and it can not cause injury. No difference what ails your little one-if full of cold, or a sore throat, diarrhoea, stomach ache, bad breath, remember, a gentle inside cleansing" should always be the first treatment given.

Chief of Police Pete Houston
 May Hold Office Until 1917

power to choose and appoint the chief of the police department and chief of the fire department who shall hold his office until the fol- lowing election for mayor, and until his successor is appointed by the incoming mayor, unless sooner re- moved for cause"
 The courts have repeatedly held that the acts of de facto officer are legal and consequently the acts of Mayor Middleton, though he is busted under decree of the courts, are admitted to be legal. It is stated that inasmuch as one of his acts was the appointment of a chief of police, and in view of the fact that the law says the term of the chief of police shall extend to the next regular election for mayor, the conclusion follows, it is insisted, that Chief of Police Hous- ton is secure in his position until Aprl, 1917, or until the mayor chosen in that election takes the oath of office and appoints a new chief.
 Chief of Police Houston was re- luctant to make a statement this afternoon. He admitted at least five members of the council had asked him to remain in office, and that numbers of substantial citizens had so expressed themselves. If his attorneys finally conclude his term of office does not expire until April, 1917, it is probable he will decline to surrender his position on next Monday night when the new mayor is sworn in.

 If persistent and we'll founded rumors alfoat today develop into realities. it is more than probable Chief of Police Pete Houston who was appointed on April 12, when Mayor w. c. Middleton went into office. will decline to surrender his position on next Monday night when it is expected J. T. Hester, who has just been declared the le- gally elected mayor by decree or fhe supreme court, will take the reins of municipal government.
 It has been assumed all along that Houston's term as chief of po- lice would expire when Mayor Mid dIeton went out of office, and acting upon this assumption MT. Hester authorized the announcement Mon day that he would appoint J.F.Pe- terson chief fpolice. MT. Peterson has served in that capacity under nreyious administrations and is re- parded as safe, reliable and ex- perienced officer. Upon the other hand, it is stated members of the council and many substantial clti- zens are so we'll pleased with the work of the police department un- der the direction of MT. Houston that they are insisting it would be a mistake to relieve him of the ot- flee at this time. Lawyers nave been consulted and it is said they have come to the conclusion that Chief Houston's term of office does not expire until after the next cleo tion for mayor in April, 1917.

EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY;
 EDO IS FITTED IN FRISCO

San Francisco, Nov. 29-(Special to The Press) This promises to be the doggon' dest day San Fran cisco ever had. The international dog show begins. About the only well known dogs absent are the dogs of war.
 It is a most aristocratic affair, this show; what the unregenerate would describe as an occasion for much dog. That canine whose pedi- gree isn't twice as long as grey hounds tail, just don't belong, that's all.
 While the proud father and mother dogs sat stiffly about with their noses and tails in the air, the puppies, more democratic because they didn't know any better, yipped and rolled and tumbled and cheWod each others faces very fiercely.
 There was a general bark of well come and much tail wagging when the show opened However, it was not the sort of welcome that would convince any unsOaped kioodle on the outskirts that he was wanted.
 Dog fanciers from all over the world are here. Several thousand dogs are benched. Awards will be mostly in $1 to $5 prizes and rib bons.

Rome, Nov. 29.-(Special to The
 Press. )-Austria, according to a news dispatch published in the Rome Tribune, is attempting to ar range a separate peace with Italy.
 While the story has no official sanction, it is believed that some foundation for it's publication was gleaned from governmental quar- ters, and among the anti-war ele- ment there is intense satisfaction at the mere suggestion of peace. Italy, primarily, entered the con flict through hatred of Austria and a deep-set desire for possession of Trieste, a peninsula extending from the Austrian mainland into the Adriatic sea. In the Italian declar- ation of war, Germany was not ln- cluded, and, although throughout the entire German empire there has been entertaind profound con- tmpt for what Germany terms a breach of faith, yet at the same time the Berlin government has re- trained from trespassing upon Ital- ian rights, and, technically, the two countries are at peace. Italy, Germany and Austria were originally the Triple Alliance" In declining to enter the conflict as an ally of Austria and Germany, Italy set out the defense that the articles of all liance were purely defensive, and not offensive. Italy contended that when Austro-Hungary sent an ulti-

SENATOR ROBINSON FAVORS
 ARMY AND NAVY INCREASE

Washington, Nov. 27.-Senator Robinson of Arkansas declares that he would favor a plan for mod crate increase in the army and navy for national defense purposes. The senator said he had been making speeches on the subject and that, while there were differences of opinion among his constituents, whenever he declared for increases in the two military branches he was always enthusiastically ap- plauded.
 Senator Robinson said:
 My own idea is that we need a materially larger navy and an in- crease of our army reserves, wheth- CT that be in the form of enlarged and improved militia, or the estab- lishment of the continental army proposed by Secretary Garrison But, by putting our navy on the proper footing, we will do away Wlin tue uGCtSSlty lOl CNtl III" "NiiAS a large standing army and becom- ing militaristic in the European sense.

for wear in the children's department.
and the trimmings, stamped for work
ing, IN the art department. They are
sold separately, and require less skill
than hat making.
Hats and bonnets for children between
two and five years of age are of linen

wear sheer nainsook. wash silk and
handkerchief linen.
In shape. the hats are on the mush-
room order and the bonnets in poke
and Dutch cap effects. The poke ap-
pears to be the more practical for sum
mer. as the cap affords no protection
to the eyes from the sun.
Both boys and girls wear the hats
and infants of both sexes wear the
small caps. A very pretty design in a
hat, especially for a little girl, is a
mushroom shape of medium fine linen
trimmed with scarf of finest ivory

around the crown, the ends falling

MAKING UP A MODERN FROCK.

Special Correspondence of The Star.

| Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK. April 2s.-When a cer-
tain we'll known dressmaker had q
French model copied in large polka
dots Of white on a dark blue surface
she was asked why she made this de-
parture at a time when polka dots
were not used. meaning the present.
She answered that they would be used.
And they are.
We always associate this particular
design with foulard, for tho makers OF
that serviceable silk were sparing Of
ingenuity when they wove design into
its soft surface. Polka dots were usu-
ally the prettiest tracery to be found
there. Usually the variety consisted
in ugly vines and leaves: the kind OF
design left by a caterpillar crawling
on leaf.
When the vine tracery gave out, then
dots were requisitioned. and they were
preferred. Large or small, open or
solid. they were sprinkled lavishly or
sparingly upon background of black.
blue or white. Nothing else was at
tempted.
Good Time for Dots.
The dots may not be popular this
season, althouSh IL is a good time TO
introduce them when one in inundated
with solid colors accepting gladly the
1owered figures that are used in even
ing gowns. There are many women
who find it far too difficult to manipu
late stripes so they will not be appall-
ing, and vet they are bit weary of a
continuous series of solid-colored
frocks. Possibly the polka dots may
appeal to them.
And the sketch gives clever sug-
gestion for building a gown that needs
something else than circles. 1t has a
bodice of solid blue silk. There are
several features about this new frock
made for a fashionable woman who
will spend her time on the New Eng
land coast this summer. she says, II
