MOTOR TRUCKS GIVE GOOD
RESULTS. en- GARBAGE WORK

With the expectation of materially
reducing the expense and at the same
time providing more satisfactory
method of disposing of city garbage,
Commissioner. OF Streets w. S.
Schwartz of Buffalo recently conduct
ed an experiment with motor trucks
and trailers, says the Power Wagon
He showed tina; about onehalf Of the
horses and other equipment could be
eliminated and large saving made;
also that the motor method was an
improvement over the older plan in
many ways.
The plan followed was to have
horse-drawn carts pick up the refuse
from house to house. When the carts
were full they were taken to certain
designated spots in each district. The
motor truck, following fixed route,
came along to. each station, dropped an
empty cart fo' the horses to be
hitehei to and took away the filled
cart as a trailer. After picking up
train of four trailers the motor truck
was driven to the outskirts of the
city, where the garbage was dumped.
Although the road followed has sharp
turns and steep hills, the machine
travelled them successfully with its
four trailers.
The load hauled, not including the
weight of the trailers, was q tons,
and in its trip the machine covered
22.5 miles in four hours and five min
utes, this including the time spent in
returning to the barn. City officials
of Buffalo and other places witnessed
the test and expressed themselves
well satisfied that motor transporta-
ton can be used to mucI advantage in

A SMART GOWN OF SERGE AND VELVET
The Patterns for This Design Be- sides Allowing for All Sean,et give the True Blasting Line ar:l show Diagrams for Cutting and Making,

This is very attractive gown anc at the same time a very tashionabl one. The serge combines beautifully with the velvet and the costume is altogether one to be generally avail. able. The fitted bodice and the haring tunic both make features of the latest fashions. The skirt is a simple one in two pieces, but the upper part of the back and front under the tunic, are made of lining material, velvet being used only for the portion that shows and sufficient beyond that to avoid unsigltlincss. The tunic is made in three pieces. It is circular; consequently, it flares generously at the lower edge while it is smooth at the waist. The over-bodice is in every way smart and attractive and 1t can be finished with deep collar that forms a deep square at the back or with a shorter collar as may be more becoming, or it can be made with ] narrow collar that can be worn either high or low. Serge and velvet are fashionable and are handsome, but you could make this costume from charmcuse with velvet or you could make it from broadcloth with velvet. Light weight broadcloth with velvet skirt and vita either velvet bands or fur bands on the tunic with fur edging the collar and cuffs, would make a very handsome costume.
 For the medium size the bodice will require, 2A yards of material 36 inches wide, 2 yards Al with A of yard 20 inches wide for the collar: For the tunic will be needed, 5N yards 27, 3ss yards 36 or A and for the skirt, 5s yards of lining material with 334 yards of velvet 36 inches wide.
 The May Manton pattern of the bodice No. o25I is cut in sizes from 34 to AZ inches bust measure and of the skirt No. o253 in sizes from A to 32 inches waist measure. They will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, av -sceipt of ten cents for the bodice and fifteen cents for the skirt.

Without doubt the top coat makes an important feature of the Winter wardrobe. This one is exceedingly smart and at the same time exceed. ingly practical. It i, half fitting and the seams give long, becoming lines to the figure, for today we must show long lines. While coats are full and skirts are full they do not flare, consequently they take soft folds and lines that are beautiful and attractive. The material illustrated Is broadcloth and the trimming is fur banding ard fur buttons. That combination Ia handsome and smart but this is coat that appropriately can be made from velvet or from velours or from burclla cloth or from bolivia cloth. The collar can be buttoned up about the throat or ro!ed open as the day requires. The back gives long, unbrokcn lines as do the fronts but pockets are ar- ranged over the sides. Coats of the sort are worn over separate gowns and one of the smartest features o: the season Is the coat that is made oT velvet or of broadcloth worn either with gown of crepe de chine or of Georgette crepe or of charmeusc, the skirt of which is faced with the ma. teria1 of the coat to sufficient depth to be the only visible portion when the coat is worn. Such a conbina. tion means a costume effect for tho street and very dainty, attractiv. gown suitable for afternoon wor beneath.
 For the medium size the coat vii require, 6M yards of material 3 inches wide, 5 yards A or 54 wit 412 yards of fur banding.
