Little That's warliks in This.

From New York comes word that the Gus
toms house in that city looks like a dress
makers display room. while the inspectors are
overwhelmed with the work OF valuing gowns
and dresses and other articles of feminine ap-
parel. shipload after shipload of finery from
Paris is arriving at port and is being checked
through customs as fast as possible, that our
women folks may have the latest from the
worlds capital Of fashion. The wars embargo
hasn't checked the influx Of finery in the least,
nor does the thunder OF the fighting at Verdun
seriously retard the output of the Partisan
shops. Battle tides may ebb and flow, but the
American woman will yet have that with
which to deck herself and the Easter parade
will be as gay as ever. II is noteworthy, too
that the United States is about the only great

Time for Another Police Dragnet.

different from other large cities in this respect,

must show they mean business IL the activities

The fact that our city Is still without work

members OF the thieving profession feel that
they can get off easy here with at most nothing

gladly dispense with We must remember, too,
almost all OF the recent crimes whose perpetra-
