Favors Efficient Police.
In answer to question three would
say that our fire department in view
of the money spent upon 1t of late,
under efficient management ought to
be and think now Is in high state
of efficiency. AS to the police depart
ment I think it ought to be placed
upon high plane, far removed from
the field of partisan politics, showing
favors to none. with honest, law-abid-
ing, home loving men In charge, who
irrespective of personal friendships
will do their duties as public officials
to the end that Richmond will be a
better and safer place in which to live.
In answer to questions four and five
I would say that expert men ought to
be given the positions where experts
are required. l do not think that a
man that has been at the head Of a
department for number of years by
virtue of that fact alone ought to be
able to claim the right to operate that
department indefinitely, irrespective of
whether he is conducting It so as to
render the best service to the commun-
ity. No man who renders an honest
service need fear the loss Of his job
under me but his claim must be on the
basis that he can render the service
than upon the ground that he IL en-
titled to it for old times sake. Civil
service managed by the State would
consider practical, but its merits as
administered locally would hardly
consider practical.
In answer to your question six
would say that l consider municipal
ownership wholly practical and that /
favor the further extension Of the
city's activities along that line at the
earliest practical opportunity

In answer to question seven I would
say that Power rates ought to be at
the lowest possible figure and that
economy ought to be practiced to the
end that taxes may be reduced and
will render every service can wheth.
er public or personal to encourage the
extension of our own industries and
to bring other industries here
Methods and means of doing this can
not be formulated, as the things that
attract industries are so varied.
In answer to question eight, would
say that 1 always believe in a liberal
attitude toward labor, and that the
worker should be well paid for his
toll. He ought to be well enough paid
that he will not have to organize fol-
protection and as long as he must be
organized to secure fair treatment
think he ought to be recognized in his
organized capacity.
In answer to question nine l would
say that where practical I am in favor
at every time necessity demands to re
new our streets with permanent con
struction.
In answer to question ten I will say
that our sewer system construction

would say that this deficit can only be
met by . more economical administra-
ton. II It must be raised to meet ex-
penditures know of no way to conjure
It into existence but by taxation.
In answer to question twelve would
say that after the city has done all
penditures then whatever amount must
the rate is made. the rest lies wholly
in the hands Of County and State Off
GERS and the equitable distribution Of
this burden would be a matter over
which would have no control.

elastic enough that IL the city cared 10

To the Members Of the Central Trades
Council Gentlemen:
The series of questions, outlined by
your committee and submitted to the
mayoralty and councilmanic cand1-
dates, duly received. Believing as
do that you are actuated solely by the
desire to secure the best possible re-
suits In the exercising of your vote and
In consideration of the unusual intelli-
gence manifested by the questions pro-
pounded, I desire to state, that you are
not only entitled to the courtesy OF a
reply, but also to commentator for
your public spirit; depth of thought;
clearness of conception Of existing
condition; and the unselfish spirit
with which you subordinate organiza-
ton advantages to almost every other
economic phase of our municipal life.
It can hardly be hoped that my re-
plies will meet with your fullest ac-
cord, but whatever may be the diff
ferences, l ask you to accept the as
surance, I am answering according to
nv conscientious convictions as to
what I deem to be for the best inter
est OF the city. with full purpose OF
redeeming every pledge made. Where
I feel the pledge can not be redeemed,
I certainly will not compromise myself

He had just come back

Ethan 'ore open the envelope and
read the inclosed card: Miss Angela

you to call there"
"Get out" said Ethan, with sudden
access of sheepishness. "Why should

''Well. why not?" asked Mrs. Crane.

Formal Gown of Black and White.
Such a frock is illustrated. Enough
white Georgette crepe was purchased for
the blouse and peplum yoke. A white
lining cut very low on the shoulders
reaches to the point where the gathered
skirt of black charmeuse reaches the
white yoke or peplum of crepe. In max
ing such a dress 1t is wise to attach a
fancy camisole to the waist lining. White
cotton net will be attractive for this.
Make II with a two-inch hem around the
bust, then add a band of pale blue satin
ribbon about three inches wide. On this
mount a strip Of tiny ribbon roses OF
pink or pastelle shades. Gather the lower
part Of the camisole and attach 1t to the
belt. A wide strip of net may be used
over the shoulder or blue satin ribbon
shoulder straps will finish this necessary
addition to a thin frock. The waist is
cut from shirt waist pattern. 1t has a
yoke, and a cording Of white crepe Is
used to Join the yoke and upper sleeve
to the full waist and lower sleeve. The
white yoke of the skirt is gathered
straight to the belt. On this is mounted
the straight gathered skirt of black char
meuse. fichu-like collar crosses on the
bust and the ends pass through two white
buckles and extend down each side to
meet the black skirt. II you are working
with short lengths, these ends may be
pieced under the buckles. A small collar
of white crepe is laid over the black col
lar, Deep cuffs of black are turned up
on the sleeve and a black gfrdle finishes
the waist. This idea will lend itself to
remodeling a black dress and may be
used also for making dress in one color,
such as a navy blue skirt with waist of
blue Georgette crepe, or for a gown OF
all black, combining eharmeuse and
Georgette crepe.
