Water REVENUE
PLAN ADEQUATE
Commissioner Kutz Declares
So, but Favors Increasing
Frontage Tax.
SPEAKER AT BANQUET
Explains Water Department Manage
ment to West End Citizens Asso-
citation at Powhatan Meeting.

Facts relating to the water depart
ment of the District were divulged
by Engineer Commissioner Kutz kst
night before the Wet End Citizens
Association at its annual banquet at
Hotel Powhatan. According to his in
vestigation, the water department Is
now on a paying basis.
The interest of the government 8
share in the system is being paid nr
in use of water. while the Districts
interest is being used in extending
the system. At the present time he
estimates that the government uses
16, ,OOO, 900 gallons OF water every day
and at the water-rate this would
amount to $4,000 annually. This
value and the annual contribution Of
$685. 900 for the filtration plant and
maintenance OF the aqueduct, Maj.
Rutz states. is fully paid for in the
service the water department gives
the government. He suggests that
the present system of obtaining rev.
enue is entirely adequate, but that II
any change is made, ii would be bet
ter to increase the present frontage
tax on District property. His investI-
cation shows that Washington's water
rates are not exhorbitant and are
much better than those of many cities
of similar size and character.
Speakers Are Numerous.
Other speakers at the banquet included
Justice Hagner. Of the District Supreme
Court: Capt. James F. Oyster, Judge
Henry Randall Webb. Edward F. Col
laday, president of the Federation OF
Citizens Associations, and George w.
Evans, president of the association. Mr..
Evans in his opening address told Of the
progress made in the District in all lines
OF activity during his long residence here
and mentioned particularly the present
fiOurishing condition OF municipal affairs.

hat But this skirt is well adapted to
any sort of figure. 1t is intended to
give an air of slenderness and at the
same time afford flare at the bottom
sufficient to keep it in vogue for full
skirts.
Now there are ways upon ways of
making a skirt. If you are short, keep
the lines long and straight. If you are
too tail, trim the skirt around with
rows of graduated braid. Some of this
braid is five inches wide and other
widths provide the graduation Of sizes.
OF course, you must use braid on the
waist or coat that you make up for
the skirt.
If it happens that you prefer some
contrasting material, such as silk or
satin bias folds, put them on in grad
uated widths, just as though you were
using braid This will reduce your
height and impart a very handsome and
stylish decoration for the dress.
This skirt may be made up in all
sorts of wool, all the heavier weaves of
silk, bengaline. poplin and related
weaves that are now coming into the
height of fashion, or it will appear

Household Hints.

Would you like to know how to dye
YOUR old white canvas slippers at
home?
Clean them free from soil or grease
and thoroughly dry them. Take some
oil paint of the color you want them
preferably the paint that comes in
tubes) and mix it with gasoline. Sat
urate the canvas with this mixture
the gasoline evaporates. but the color
remains. OF course this must be done
out of doors, where there is no fire. and
be sure, too, not to work in the suns
rays these hot days. In order to get
the color the exact shade you want 1t,
experiment with small piece of { IT
ton fabric before applying the dye to
the shoes.
Should your linoleum require renovat-
ing, wash it first with soap and water.
and when it is thoroughly dry paint it
with the following: Yellow wax, five
ounces; oil of turpentine. eleven ounces;
varnish, five ounces. Mix at gentle
heat and apply with a wooden rag.
For dampness in room, place Jumps
of camphor in corners, allowing them
to remain few days if necessary

few women always wear them. and

tabooed them couple of years ago
there were smart American women on
both sides of the Atlantic who made
them an important part of the pre-

This summer wells have been re-
garded more seriously than for several
seasons past. and there are indications
that they will be even more important
in winter hats. But as yet nobody
knows about this
There is a sort of parasol that has
been carried occasionally, with a wide
flounce of lace about the edge. When
the parasol is closed the lace hangs
down most gracefully toward the

The new wells are somewhat on the
order of this parasol. They are at

is not intended for use in cutting
diaphanous materials.
Another hint I may offer to my stout
sister. Now that fashion uses so much
trimming on skirts YOU may greatly
reduce the appearance OF your waist
and hips by using one or two rows OF
braid or folds. down the sides of the
front and back cores, finishing the ends
with a point or button.

Special Correspondence of Tie star
NEW YORK. August 21.-One night
at the Metropolitan Opera House Mrs.
William h Vanderbilt appeared with
a diamond necklace worn as no one
had seen it worn before. 1t dropped
downward in the back. between the
shoulder blsdes. and was finished with
a huge pendant of rare jewels. 1t Gre
ated the stirring comment that such
a departure would guarantee.
Since then only one or two women
have followed this fashion. and they
were usually in France. 1t was not
considered especially attractive unless
one possessed "a pair of unusually good
shoulders. It's unconventionality also
stopped most women from adopting IL,
although there is no more reason for
dropping necklace on the chest than
on the shoulders.
However, the fashion did not go, and
yet one of the smart women of France
appeared in a marvellous couture ana
a necklace of pearls hanging down
the back, finished with single dla-
mond as pendant.
Fashion Leaders Change.

given here today. for it is well to
know in advance what fashions may
be thrust upon us with the incoming
season. snd it is always interesting to
know what the leaders of high fashion
are doing. no matter to what social
class they belong.
1t is a well known fact that we do
not model our styles on the clothes
worn by women with exclusive names
in society; half of these women care
less how they dress than the world
thinks. Fashion leaders spring up like
political leaders, or great singers, or

WHEN MAKING PRESERVES.
Pineapple and Peaches.

Grated pineapple is more dainty
preserve than sliced pineapple. though
1t may be used either way. rejecting, OF
course, the hard core at the center of
the fruit. Weigh the pineapple and to
each pound allow a pound of sugar. Let
stand overnight. and in the morning
bring to a boil and skim. and then al
low them to simmer gently till clear
and thick. The grated pineapple cook
ed in this fashion is like delicate
marmalade.
Peaches and pears should also be al
lowed to stand with the sugar over
night before cooking. and in doing
peaches many housewives add one or
two peach pits to the strip to lend a
flavor.

the sugar and water on the fire to-
gether and stir until the sugar is all
dissolved. then let 1t come to boil.
after which add the crab apples. and
let them simmer until the apples are
clear and tender. This rule of letting
the strip boil hard but only allowing
the fruit itself to simmer is one of the
secrets of good preserves, and while 1t
means a little more trouble and pa
