The Dust Nuisance.

To the Editor of The Republican.
Persons looking for a place in which
to spend the summer find the clouds of
dust arising from the thoroughfares of
Oakland serious objection to this
place. 1t would be to the interest of
the town if the principal thoroughfares,
at least those most used by automobiles,
were we'll oiled.
1t is encouraging to see that one
property owner, Mrs. George L,
BosleY, has begun the good work, with
the cooperation of the town, by having
the street in front of her house and lot,
on Oak street, oiled.

Just two months and day before his
daughters demise. Every thing known
to medical science was done to allevi-
ate Mrs. Earharte's suffering and to
check the disease but in spite of all eff
forts 1t proved fatal. The terribleordeal
of pain through which she passed dur

Brings New
Spring Styles
sent in by our New York
Office, and our buyers are
now on their way East to
rush the new things to you
as fast as they make their
appearance.

THE sources from which trc gar
j ment makers have drawn their
inspiration for the spring styles are
numerous. but they have one basic
feature in common. This Is the
wide, full skirt. whieh.ls character
site of the court attire OF several
periods and also of the peasant dress
OF various countries. Thus We have
silhouette that Is reminiscent OF
the years between 1880 and 1850,
and especially of the succeeding
period. the Second Empire, accom-
panied by features common to such,
earlier periods as those OF Louis Nv
and Louis XVI. the Directory, the
Consulate and the Bourbon Restora
ton Ideas have also been drawn
from celebrated portraits OF the.
Spanish, French and Italian schools
Of the periods named.
Not only are the new skirts very
vollminOus. but many OF them closely
approximate the erinoline. which
reached its full Towering in the DAYS
Of Napoleon III and his Empress,
Eugene. This effect il obtained bv
the use of stiffened facings. cord
mos or bonings, either at the hip
lines or at the hem or at both. Other
features of the new skirts are dra-
peries, flounees and band trimmings.
Another important development Is
the introduction of shoulder-capes
and of sleeve-eaps, which appear on
many of the new French models in
dresses, suits and coats.
Suit coats are short, with slightly
raised waistline, or in bolero form.
The average length Is 90 to 2e in.
The peplum, or basque, continues to
be made very full.
Sleeves of dresses. suits, coats and
waists show considerable variety. and
OF many fullness Is characteristic.
The adoption of the shoulder-cape
Will simplify the form of collars for
garments of all kinds. The sailor
collars and the shawl collars viii
also have adoption.
The normal waistline is a natural
accompaniment of the full skirt.
Separate waists are simple IN char
acter. Many of the new models are
adapted for sport wear.
The voluminous skirts have brought
in a vogue for pettieoats. Among the
novelties are those made of sheer
fabrics, such as chiffon and lace.
General lines of eorsets now being
offered in Paris show little change.
only & few of the new models being
of extreme type. Fashion tendencies
strongly favor increased use of the
boned brassiere.
in millinery the chief fashion in

Restoration and the Second Empire
periods. High effects continue in
favor, but the small, low, round hat
with narrow rolled brim has been re-

under the Carranza regime.
The decree, a COPY Of which was
brought to the border by an Ameri-

Immediately following its prelude, with
a paragraph setting a value on the
