SHIRTWA!STS WILL BE WORN
Women Will Not Give Up This Con-
ventionaI and Satisfactory Rament
at Mere Dictate Of Fashion.

It is quite evident that women will
wear the conventional shirtwaist this
summer, although the short satin
tunic has been the preference for the
winter. The delightful feeling OF
something fresh and washable next
the skin is not to be given up for
mere fashion. One might summarize
the exhibition of spring blouses as
follows:
Heavy Chinese silk in narrow candy
stripes, in different colors, is made up
in severe style, with a rolling collar
and pearl buttons.
Flesh-cOlored chiffon, georgette and
fine wolfe are trimmed with filet, Irish
crochet and honiton laces, and made
up with long sleeves, sailor collar and
groups Of fine tucks in front.
A hundred blouses will have a deep
sailor collar edged with lace, to ten
that are arranged otherwise at the
neck.
White crepe de chine is made into
blOuses, with broad panels Of filet lace
extending down the front. There is {
fiat, turnover collar. The sleeves are
long and gathered into deep, tight cuffs
Of filet lace.
White chiffon is anticipated from
shoulders to waist, with two wide
bands of lace forming the front. The
sleeves are full, with a tight cuff O.
lace and a wide band Of it placed a
the back from shoulder to cuff.
Crude tones of blue, red, green an,
yellow in thick weave Of Japanes
silk are simply ma de and offered TO
use with dark tailored suits.

reputation Of being a leader Of great

LOCAL COMMENT

The nomination at this weeks NUM-
cipal primary Of the citizens ticket,
popularity known as the "A b. G..
| ticket, was a positive declaration that
the people demand a business admin
istration hereafter; an administration
which will conserve the city's re-
sources see to it that when money is
spent value is received for 1t, and that
when the public assets are In need OF
protection. they will be protected. The
citizens ticket, which was launched
with aNview of placing trio OF ous'-
ness administration candidates LOT
mayor and council, showed its strength
by it's large lead over the opposition
candidates. Had the vote been closer,
there might have been room for douot
as to whether the movement OF clti-
zens had realized the result intended.
As /: is, however. there can De no
doubt of the sentiment as reflected os
the voters.
From the standpoint of moral effect
II is regrettable that the voters taiieo
to authorize the school board 10 make
its customary levy for school mouse
purposes which includes the payment
of interest on bonds and repairs 10
school buildings. Taxpayers may feei
that they are being assessed too much,
but il is certain that most OF them
were they to vote and register their
convictions. would not vote 10 lessen
the small tax required to keep school
houses habitable for the children. II
makes but little difference to the
school board, for the law gives the
board recourse to raise the money for
meeting the interest on bonds. Inc
school house repairs may be made by
using money from another fund. Con-
seuueritly it makes no difference 10 the
taxpayer He will have 10 foot the
bills for the very expense he seeks pS
his vote to avoid. But il does not
look we'll for Marshalltown, from an
outside point of view, to have 1t sald
that taxpayers oegrudge the schooi
board it's law scribed assessment
for meeting interest, or its necessary
expenditure for keeping up school
houses.
With prospects good for a railroad
strike that will affect the three roads
into this city, it will behoove all per-
sons 10 conserve food and fuel supplies
as much as possible. While local deal
ers in foodstuffs and fuel declare that
the supplies locally are sufficient ~
withstand a reasonable length OF time,
serious shortage in some lines might
result were the strike 70 be long
