GIVE STIFFNESS TO SKIRTS
Partisan Modistes Are Making Much
Use of Crinoline and Haircloth
in the New Styles.

Regarding skirts, aside from their
greater width and their maintenance
of short lengths, the most remarkable
feature about them is the use of crino-
line and haircloth. The latter have
actually arrived For many weeks and
months there have been rumors to
the effect that they were on the way
and at last these rumors have been
substantiated in many OF the dresses

the designer calls Velasquez.

who pledge themselves not to sell their
1916 tobacco crop under 13c for wrap
pers and &c for filters. AS there are
about 5000 growers who grow about
$4,000 acres of tobacco in Lancaster
county, he still has some work before
him; however, he has all summer in
which to do it and is confident that his
pooling plan will bear fruit.
The present indications are that the
prices for the 1916 crop of Lancaster
county seedleaf will be higher than for
some years, providing it is good crop,
and it is not improbable that there will
be some contracted for on the field this
season; however, it is quite certain
that these first buyers who buy on the
field will look around for the unwary
growers who can be induced to close
contracts at 10 and &c or less, the pre-
vailing prices of late years.

A delegation of property owners from the. section visited city hall today.

 Most of the residents of this section own their own homes. They aI1ege that Schine is the owner of a build ing at Main and Henry streets, the lower floor of which is occupied by a small nefghborhood grocery storeA Re- gently there has been painted across the front of the building facing Main street, a gIaring yellow sign with huge letters advertising a certain brand of crackers.

In an effort to take the affairs of their department out of politics and to handle all contracts connected with schools, a committee of the board of Baldwin of the board of contract and supply today and asked that the school board be allowed to place con tracts for coal for the schools without interference of the supply board. The committee consisted of John A. Hur- ley, Louis F. Schwerdtle and Robert D. Goddard. They visited the supply boards office today in accordance with vote taken at the special meeting last night.
 Clerk Baldwin advised the 0elega- tion1 to get in touch with members of the board and said he would endeavor to arrange a meeting for Monday at noon- Last year $500 tons of anthra- cite coal was purchased through the board of contract and supply at $5.75 per ton. This coal was for use in the schools and other public buildings. Thescoal to be used in the schools swas ordered by John A. KinscelIa. agent of the board, as the coal was needed Patrick McGee had the contract The coal to be supplied to the poor and needy in quarter ton lots threugh the board Of charities was included in this contract but this coal was put at $6i per ton.
 This year the board of contract and supply is preparing to advertise for bids on 9.000 tons of coal. Members of the board feel they can obtain a more adyantageous price if they are allowed to buy the coal for the schools In the event that the board of kco11traet. and supply turns down their request the members of the school board may take steps to ascertain what powers are vested in them to make contracts of this character.
