Of profitable business and that he Ia not

Aside from his business interests, Mr..
Block has always taken Q lively inter.
est in politics. In April, 1899, he was
appointed by Mayor Carter 81. Harrison
superintendent Of the map department
of the city Of Chicago, creditably serv-
ing the city in that capacity until the
latter part Of the. same year. He was
then advanced and promoted to deputy
commissioner of public works, and q
little less than two years from that
time still greater honors were in store
for him and he was selected by Mayor
Harrison as commissioner Of public
works, being reappointed in 1908 to the
same responsible position for two years
longer.
During his administration of this
Office he supervised some Of Chicago's
great public improvements, such as
building some of the first bascule
bridgLS, which did away with center
piers, among them being the North
Western avenue and Oybourn place
bridges. These bridges were designed
in the department of public works, thus
saving 10 the city the heavy royalty Of
about 100000 usually paid for plans
and supervision.
The great intereepting sewer along |
Lake Michigan from seth street to list |

Farmer Browns Boy Does
Some Thinking.

'Tais has certainly got to be looked
into" muttered Farmer Browns Boy
as he watched Mr.. Gosbawk disappear
in the Green Forest This makes twice
this morning that that fellow has tried
for chicken or a pigeon. I've never
seen such holiness. 1 can't keep my
hens and pigeons shut up all the time
just because of Kim He needs to be
taught lesson. He needs to learn to
respect the rights of others"
Farmer Browns Boy saw tc it that
the mems were shut in and likewise the
pigeons. that they might be safe. Then
he went to the house where it was
warm. He wanted to do some think
ing and ne wanted to be comfortable
WhiIe ne was doing it. With the lens
and the Pigeons shut up he had moth
ING to worry about so far as they were
concerned and Re could put all his

SO Farmer Browns Boy got out a

fact he scowled.

SNOW BANKS IN CHICAGO

CHICAGO, January S.-Snow banks

the record breaking blizzard which
swept the middle west last Sunday had
ceased.
The task of removing the big snow
drifts is SO great that $500 men and

Many trunk line trains arrived be-
hind time today, but railroad officials
said that conditions were improved and
that practically normal schedules, both
In passenger and freight service, would
be resumed tomorrow unless a further
heavy snowfall interferes.
The weather bureau. however, has
cast cloud over the situation by fore
casting more snow tonight or tomor-
row for Illinois. Michigan and parts OF
Wisconsin and Iowa-the territory most
seriously affected by the storm.
Immediate relief for the milk short

OF Interest 70 Women
DESIGNERS LAUNCH pINAFoRE SWEATERS.
BY ANNE R1rrENHousE.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK, January 7.-At Palm
Beach last year there was dearth of
sweaters. The manufacturers deplored
it. Thousands of women ignored it.
Sweaters continued to be worn. but
there was that undercurrent of feeling
that the sweater was no longer the
smart thing
Silk ones. for instance. were not con-
sidered as smart as those of Angora
wool or loosely knitted threads, and
worsted was hot during the months of
July and August, SO silk sweaters and
all their sisters were kept in stock by
number of shops and found their
place when the war broke out.
A Scarcity of Needles.
Today, when there is no end to the
need for sweaters by our fighters, the
manufacturers tell us that there is a
scarcity of knitting needles for ma
chine work, and that may make the
price of the garment go higher.
To offset this. there seems to be an
influx of artificial silk jersey sweaters
on the market. and they have instantly
become the smart fashion.
Evidently, they will be worn at Palm
Beach this season and all the southern
resorts They will have a new lease
of life, but they are not made accord
ing to the conventional pattern. Lib
critics are taken with them by the de-
sigpers. and they appear more like a
PEASANTS jerkin or Peter Pan corse-
let than the sport sweater of two
decades.
The fashion has come about for slip
ping everything on over the head, in
order that buttons may be saved and
novelty produced by those who insist
that we should all go back to the mid
die ages for our costumes and habits
of living, because, if the war drags
on, the resources of civilization may
not be at hand.
1t would seem that this partially fan
tastic idea inspired the new sweaters
that are going to Palm Beach, for.
with their addition of white collars and
full sleeves, their ornamental belts and
their rakish Peter Pan caps, they might
have been lifted from the days of
Robin Hood
They go over the head without sign
of fastening. and the sleeves, which
are copied from those worn by chill
dren, are just long enough to give
character to the loose white sleeves of
the blouse.
