In the assemblage of coats for little
girls certain kinds of cloth and certain
styles are set aside for children from
four years old upward to misses of
seventeen. Warmth, protection against
rain and snow, and durability are the
first consideration in girls coats and
all these things have been looked af-
Ter in the models presented for this
season. Prices have advanced as sharp-

shoes and Baby Bunting's father could
hardly be more profitably employed
than when he goes hunting for rabbit

the younger children.
For school wear there are heavy
novelty cloths, plain on one side and
plaid on the other, that are warm and

less than cloth ones, will help solve
the problem Of warmth and durability

Gloom Follows Vote to Sign

By SS0cfdfed Press.
WEIMAR. June 23:-Before the
National Assembly voted today to
sign the peace terms unconditionally,
fiery appeals in opposition were made
by the democrats and conservatives,
but they apparently had little effect.
When the vote was called all but a
few members rose to signify their af-
firmation of the governments deci-
sion to sign. once the vote was taken,
gloom appeared to descend upon the
assembly. The most vigorous oppo-
nents of signing were speechless and
seemed to accept the inevitable with
resignation.
When the assemblys action be-
came known it was rumored that all
the officers of the German army
would resign If the government did
not refuse to surrender German lead
ers especially Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg and General Ludendorf
and defied the allies to seize the for
mer emperor. In military and semi
military circles a strong insistance
has developed that the former en-
peror is innocent and that under no
circumstances must he be placed on
trial except in a neutral court.

Wlbrick, $50 DeKalb avenue, who was
struck by an automobile on Madison
avenue late Sunday afternoon and sus-
tained bad fracture of the right arm,
together with severe abrasions of the

Find Body Of James KagIe,
Dead for Two Weeks

In a terrible state of decomposition
the body of James Nagle, wire
worker, of 234 Second street. was
found at his home last night by
Patrolman William Seiboth and Cor
oner Flynn. The officer and coroner
had to batter down the front door to
gain access to the dwelling since
every window and opening was tight
ly barred.
In the opinion of the coroner Nagle
has been dead for nearly two weeks
since the body is so badly decom-
posed. He could not declare definitely
what the cause of death was but
thought 1t was due to either heart
failure, hardening of the arteries or
apoplexy.
Coroner Flynn has notified Nagle's
wife, who resides in South Amboy,
who promised to have Nthe body re-
moved to an undertaking establish
ment. The Board of Health was also
informed as to the existence of the
body but as yet it has not been taken

TO PERMIT SALE
Of FIREWORKS
Because Dealers Have Laid In
Stocks for the July 4th
Celebration

Because numerous dealers in the
city have laid in stocks of fireworks

action of the Board of Aldermen in
approving their petition to be allow
ed to sell sparlSlers, caps and cap
pistols and other harmless contriv-
ances of a like nature, Mayor Frank
to allow these merchants to dispose
of their stock. The mayor made ii
clear, however, that he is absolutely
opposed to the use or sale of danger
Gus articles and restriction will be
made in the permits to guard against
the sale of dangerous crackers.
The mayor declared that he would
not feel justified in preventing the
sale of the stocks already purchased
by the dealers inasmuch as the action
of the aldermen, while it gave no
legal sanction to the sale of fire.
works, appeared to do SO.
No profits that could ever be made
fro.a the sale Of these explosives mol
any pleasure that could be derived
from shooting them off could COM
pensate for the loss of eyes, hands or
arms that frequently results from
carelessness on the Fourth, Mayor
Dorsey said. Consideration for the
health and safety of the children
must come first, the mayor said.
No permits will be issued from the
mayors office before June rs. Under
the provisions of the 1916 ordinance
every dealer who sells fireworks of
any kind without the permits will be
subject to fines and imprisonment
Storekeepers who violate the terms OF
the permits and sell any other arti-
cles than those to be included as alb
solutely harmless will have their IL
censes revoked, the mayor said. III
they continue to sell after that they
will be classed on the same footing as
those who have no licenses.
The situation is unique this year as
il is the first peace year to follow the
passage of the ordinance. When the
measure was adopted it was planned
to have municipal fireworks at the
waterfront in the evening and in
1916, the first year after the ordi-
nance was adopted, there was a
splendid public celebration at the
pier. Since then other matters re-
lating to the war have prevented
much attention being given the mat
ter of public displays while at the
same time all of the available pow
der and explosives were reserved Tor
the Teutons. Demands by the war
for funds also made public subscrip-
tions for fireworks out of the ques-
ton.
Next year if the mayor has any
thing to say about it there will be no
fireworks of any kind, he declared
today, unless in the form of a PUBIC
exhibition by the city.
