Tailor Gowns for seashore.
Paris has not become smaller
through the migration of its smart set
into the provinces, but one might say
that its boundaries have stretched
further atield--to Tours. Marseilles.
Bordeaux. the Cote d Azur. And, in
variably, the fashions follow the fash
ionabes.
The shores Of the Mediterranean and
of the Gulf of Gascony have seen an
unprecedentedly early blooming of
spring styles and IA luxurious display
of cloth dresses, which in June will
gradually be supplanted by serge and
gabardine frocks. For tailor suits are
universally worn in France.
At the seashore most of these froCks
are Of navy blue, which seems to have
become the war uniform. However, as
soon as a ray of sun peeps through the
clouds some fairy wand instantly
changes them into white. Mannsh
shirt waists in linon or organdy are
much worn with them.
At Biarritz ii is the smart thing TO
sport a sash Of silk jersey of some
vivid hue which gives a flash of color
'when the jacket is thrown open. Hats
of grOs grain ribbon are worn with
this costume, and they are wonderfully
supple and apparently fashioned to
suit the wearer's momentary caprice.
Much fancied with the tailor suit
also is the tam o. shanter of royal
blue or black and in some cases the
heret of the district has its champions,
this without the slightest ornament,
Just as II is worn by the peasants OF
the ncighborhood II is becoming to
most faces, and il is not surprising
that it has been enthusiastically
adopted by young girls, TO whom L

City Commissioners Meet

The City Commissioners hll
most interesting conference
yesterday with William j. Nit
chell, travelling auditor of the
State Department of Municipal
Accounts, the features of which
effect every local taxpayer.
One of the gratifying things
was his favorable comment upon
the audit of the city books from
the date the commissioners
took office up to January /, 1918
as made by Nelson Rittenhouse,
a local business man. After
mentioning number of it's fea-
lures, he said that it ranked up
to the reports made by large
cities such as Newark and Jer-
sey City.
Questioned as to the cost of
audits of this class he said that
one just completed by the state
for a town similar to Lambert
vile had taken nineteen days, at
cost of $25 per day, or a total
of $475. Compared with this
local report cost the city $100,
Mr.. Rittenhouse naming this
modest fee. At the time of its
making, some local taxpayers
pointed it out as a bad feature of
commission government, alleg-
ing that such work ought to be
done in a few hours at cost of
SIS to $40.
Commissioners Balderston
and Cochran will visit the de-
partment office at Trenton next
Wednesday when general plans
for the 1919 budget will be gone
into.
Treasurer Cochran's report
showed a net balance of
$2O,561.12 on hand at the close
of November, against a balance
of $546.12 at the beginning of
the month.
The appointment of Harold K.
Dilley as member of the Fire
Patrol, to succeed Luther Helsel
who has removed to Trenton, as
made by Fire Chief George w.
Arnett, was approved.

HARDsHlPs IMPOSED BY WAR
Absolute Necessaries Held at Almost
Prohibitive Prices in Cities
of Jupo- Slavia.

War conditions have caused an
enormous rise in the price of neces-
sites in Jugo-Slavia. A recent issue
of the Novosti, published in Zagreb,
says that the cost Of ready-made gar
ments makes them almost unattain-
able. Not only are certain clothing
establishments closed, but even those
which manage to keep open have
very little to sell.
The value of the Austrian crown
is about 90 cents, but its purchasing
power in normal peace times is al
most 80 cents in our money. Today,
suits OF clothes are costing 1000 to
1900 crowns, or from $500 to $500.
Any tailor who is lucky enough to
find a 'length" of pre-war material
charges 1900 to 1000 crowns, or
nearly $1,000 to turn it into a suit
of clothes. AS result, the sales of
ready-made clothing are very light.
1t is the same with wooden and
cotton goods. For a mans shirt one
pays 20 to 100 crowns. A pair Of
stockings costs about $50, and
yard of linen about the same. House
hold articles made of iron, china or
glass are almost nowhere to be found
in the stores.

BUGLE NOTES CARRIED FAR
Latest in Military Efficiency Is to Have

Regulation Calls.

In the training camp at Fort Riley
a huge megaphone has been erected
on a stand to enable field bugler to
sound reveille with such vim that
it will be irresistible, as well as tc
put punch into the retreat which Is
sounded at evening parade after the
band ceases its music. When the last
note of the retreat has died away the
band plays "The Star-Spangled
Banner" as the flag is lowered anc
the strenuous day at camp is official
ly over for the soldiers.
BY the use of the megaphone tc
augment the bugler'S tones, the on'
instrument is sufficient for the entire
camp and its notes carry equally al
far as those of the entire regimenta
band.

Prison Term for Joshua Amos

for the murder of Vincenzc
Damico began in tn Hunterdon
Court of Oyer and Terminer on
Tuesday morning of this week,
and at midnight Wednesday the
jury rendered a verdict of man.
slaughter.
Judge Thomas w. Thenchard
presided and prosecutor Harry
j. Able had charge of the pros
ecution, while Amos was repre-
sented by Willard G. Parker.
Forty-fve minutes were requir-
ed to select the jury, the follow
ing being the men impanalled {:
Nedwill Sutphin, John j. Horn,
Leroy Lane, Henry l.. Phillips,
Uriah Keephart,, Howard Lair
William w. Lambert, Winfield
Myers, Peter S. Latourette,
John w. Van Syckle, Raymond
Hoffman and Henry l.. Stires.
Apparently it was thought that
Lambertville jurors would have
fixed convictions on the case and
they were all excused from the
jury service.
Both the defendent and the
dead man lived on South Main
street in Lambertville, occupy
ing adjoining sections of the
same house. Amos was boarding
with the family of George Frye
and Damico had a family of his
own. On the. lot occupied by
Damico, as the evidence was
given, was a well of water which
supplied the Frye apartment as
well as other people in the same
building. On August 23rd, Mrs.
Frye asked the defendent Am .
to get her some water from the
well for washing and this h.,
proceeded to do, using a pail and
a rope as there was no pump to
the well. Damico was on his
porch mending shoes and he told
Amos he did not want him to get
any more water from the well.
Amos replied "all right" but
kept on getting water.
The testimony showed that
Damico then got up from his
work and struck Amos with a
small hammer. They then got
into scuffle, and during this
Amos drew a revolver and shot
Damico some two or three times
one shot terminating fatally:
Part of the shooting was said TO
have been done in the ward and
enc shot after they had gotten
cut of the yard on the street.
Damico eras taken to st. FIR :;
Hospital. Trenton, but survived
only a short time.
Amos will be sent to prison
for six years.
