Tapped the upper portion of the
bifurcated section, and also was "V''
shaped at the neck and was held on
at the shoulders with narrow
buckled straps.
When asked about the report that
had electrified the male portion of
the population recently, when it was
announced that clothes were to be
pocketless because of the shortage
of cloth on account of the war, Mr..
Simon said that the designers, who
work a year and a half in advance
yesterdays exhibit being really OF
next springs styles-had found a
way to meet this emergency.
I'VE have provided the same num-
Der of pockets. possibly more, sim
ply by making the clothes shorter, "
he explained. The curtailment is
however, noticeable only in coats
the neither garment is to be worn at
its usual length. But what the tailors
have managed to sneak away from
the tails of the various styles of
coats they are using entirely for
pockets. Not a scrap will go to pro-
vide pocket flaps, patch pockets or
even cuffs.
IF there are any cuffs at all on
the new models, they are so narrow
as to be almost invisible, or else they
are made of velvet" Mr.. Simons
continued, glancing at the figure of
an unusually stout man who had en-
tered and who. had overheard the
statement about a shortage in ma
terials causing a. shrinkage in coat
lengths.
That may do for the thin man,
but what do you think the fat man
will look like in these abbreviated
coats" he grunted.
Military effects, especially for
young men, are to be all the go this
season, or rather next spring, for
what you saw yesterday at the style
show were really the designs men
are going to wear two seasons hence.
Whether the war is ended or not,
by that time the military note will
still be sounded in male garb.
BY way of diverting attention
from the serious consideration of de-
signs presented solely for the edif1-
cation of man, Mr.. Daniel Edward
Ryan, the originator of the overall
for women, which has been adopt
ed by most of the farmerettes the
country over, offered some innova-
tons in this department of apparel.
There was an overall costume with
bifurcated garment, half shrouded
beneath a fascinating little smock.
Some of the smocks, which are the
first to be combined with overalls, in
a regulation outfit, were elbow
length, while others were long.

THE ASH SURVEY

call for municipal ownership and op.
Grafton. This is precisely what Healtt
Officer Raunick advised earlier in the
year. The experts agree, also, thai
the collections should be under the
| supervision of a separate bureau OF
the city government.
The value of the report as submit
ted to Council is that it leaves nc
excuse for further delay in gettins
under way plans that must be work
ed out for taking over the garbage
plant, buying the necessary machin-
cry and financing the entire enter
prise. We know now what we must
do-both the local health authorities
and the sanitary experts agreeing in
almost every detail as to the needs OF
the city in this respect. 1t is no mean
task that Council undertakes. Addi-
,tional revenues must be provided and
the necessary organization formed TO
take over the collections Immediately
upon the expiration of the contract.
1t may even mean a trifle more in
taxes, but even that the people, in
general would gladly accept to rid
themselves of the nuisance of ash
and garbage accumulations that are
both unsightly and unsanitary.
The experts speak also of the
necessity of educating the public to
do its part in assisting the ash and
garbage collectors. The surveyors do
not hold the householders entirely
blameless. The size of the contain
ers, the distance garbage and ashes
l.
the narrow alleys through which the
men must pass-all are condemned
by those who made the survey as
adding difficulties to the hard and
disa agreeable work the ashmen per-
form.
Harrisburg people will pledge
themselves to almost anything in re-
turn for promised relief from con-
ditions that have been well nigh in
tolerable. If the health board or
Council sets out to teach them just
what is required. it is to be imagin-
ed they will most willingly comply
with any request within reason. The
city and its people must cooperate
if the ash and garbage problem is to
be solved in a pleasing and satisfac-
tory manner. 1t must be a matter
of give and take and the householder
who will not do his part must be
penalized quite as severely as the ash
collector who declines to do his.
The establishment of a city COL
lection system has the endorsement
of the Chamber of Commerce, repre-
senting the business of the commun-
ity, and of a number of the union
labor organizations of town The re-
port of the survey is popular as well
as scientific and businesslike. What
the people want now is a prompt
working out of the plan.

A Toast to the Flag

A Toast to the Flag
Here's to the Red of it,
There's not a thread of it,
No, por a shred of it
In all the spread of it
From foot to head,
But heroes bled for it,
Faced steel and lead for it,
Precious blood shed for 1t,
Bathing it Red.
Here's to the White of it,
Thrilled by the sight of it,
Who knows the right of it
p But feels the might of it
Through day and night?
Womanhood's care for it
Made manhood dare for it;
Purity's prayer for it
Kept it so White.
Here's to the Blue of it,
Heavenly view of 1t,
Star-spangled hue of 1t,
Honesty's due of it,
Constant and true.
Here's to the whole of it,
Stars, stripes, and pole of it,
Here's to the soul of it
Red, White, and Blue.

THE TROLLEY SITUATION

THOR several months an intensive
study of the street railway prob
lens OF Harrisburg has been in
progress under the supervision and
direction OF the most expert engineer
on street railway operation in the
. United States. His representatives
have been here repeatedly and it is
understood that some conclusions are
likely to be reached in the near fu
ture.
Nothing is more important in the
development OF any city than a first
class street railway system. 1t is high
ly necessary that the people of any
community should be able to go back
and forth with ease and comfort and
with frequency. The survey ought to
be made with a view to future de-
velopment and it is entirely probable
that the Harrisburg Railways Com
pany is looking ahead to the eXpan-
sion OF the city in every direction.
Harrisburg is increasing in its indus
trial and commercial activities and
this growth means a rapidly increas-
ing population which must be provid-
ed with adequate street railway ia
cilities.
Not only in the running of cars, but
in the character of the lines and the
general equipment, must the street
railway company of any city consider
the interests of the public. There is
mutuality of interest which cannot
be overlooked at any time. For this
reason the future development of the
local lines as a result of the expert
survey will be watched by all who de-
pend upon this important utility for
transportation throughout the city

Suffragists' Offer to Take
Military Census Is Refused

Sl60,000 Appropriation and the Sl,OOO,
100000 which General Stotesbury says
may be needed to complete the work.
There is a considerable measure OF
responsibility in this" he explained,
"and il cannot be done by an indie
pendent organization, nor can it be left
TO volunteers. It is not so much q
matter of saving money as of doing
the work in the most efficient manner
The $4,000 appropriated will be used
partly for printing and for overhead
expenses. We want the cooperation of
the suffragists, if they will conform to
our military discipline. We have ac-
cepted the offer of Mrs. Whitehouse for
utilizing the suffrage party members at
the enrolment depots."
New Division Founded
General Stotesbury has established a
division of standard and methods for
defence organizations, which will be a
clearing house for voluntary bodies Of
fering their services to the country.
Miss Esther f. Lspe, formerly an ex-
pert of the National Americanization
Committee in New York, is its chief.
With her will be associated Miss Fran
ces Kellor.
Any political organizations, the suf-
frage party included, rendering their
services will be directed and instructed
through this division. The volunteer
services Of all defence committees OF
Chambers Of Commerce, Rotary Clubs
and associations of nurses will be
transmitted through it, too
1--WE will try to find out what the
voluntary organizations OF the state
have TO offer besides good will" said
Miss Lspe. 1--WE want. first Of all, prsc-
teal workers. We shall have to have
five clerks for each of the six thousand
enrolment depots, and we certainly
shall avail ourselves Of the women's
offer"
